Item A quest for uplift : Charlotte Hawkins Brown and the Palmer Memorial Institute(2017-05) Farkas, Kathryn Elizabeth; Bolin, Paul Erik, 1954-This study investigated the life and arts education practices of Charlotte Hawkins Brown. Framed around her life, 1883-1961, this study concentrated on the years, 1901- 1961, when she built and ran the Palmer Memorial Institute. An examination into Dr. Brown’s early life and artistic influences highlighted the roles of her family and school in her development of appreciation for and aptitudes in the arts. Evidence of arts programs offered at the Palmer Memorial Institute included school catalogs and programs, state reports, student and teacher testimonies, and photographs. Dr. Brown’s role as an arts educator beyond the Palmer Memorial Institute, including her civil rights speeches and her struggles to obtain financial and social support for developing arts programming, added to this analysis. This study concluded with my argument that Charlotte Hawkins Brown should be considered as an arts educator and presents a number of possibilities for future research into arts education at Palmer Memorial Institute and other related areas of Dr. Brown’s life.Item The American Home: An Emblem of Republican Virtue, Democratic Ideals, and Independent Thinking(1992-11-11) Peatross, C.

Chapters examine interstate differences in high-technology industrial development by comparing (1) recent shifts in high-technology industry mix, (2) size distribution of firms, and (3) measures of locational specialization of labor, such as the ratio of production workers to scientists and engineers, levels of employee education, income distribution, and the comparative influence of education and work experience on earnings.Item An economic interpretation of the ratification of the Federal Constitution in North Carolina(1948) Pool, William C.; Barker, Eugene C.

By examining these two celebrations, I draw out questions of race and racialization that have been largely overlooked in the study of Appalachia and illustrate the connections between the construction of a whitewashed Appalachian identity and the construction of an equally pale national identity. This report challenges the idea that Appalachia as a region is “racially innocent” and therefore does not play a role in discussions of race in America. On the contrary, I show that Appalachia’s position as a site of production of a national culture and identity means that in the context of Appalachia, race and racialization demand scrutiny as a means for understanding what “whiteness” is.
