Ignited by the sense of fury faced from being stuck in a singular, down-trodden town, the so-called “Paul” has delved into a life of crime with an equally impulsive crime mate, who mysteriously won’t reveal his true name. Together they discover the meaning of life, love, tragedy, loneliness, guilt, and anger amidst unforgiving creatures and melancholic dunes.

Europeanists have studied the First Crusade quite thoroughly for centuries. Pope Urban II’s call for the Crusade in November of 1095 inspired a pan-European reaction and eventually a deadly assault on Jerusalem in 1099. This paper evaluates the anti-Muslim narratives embedded in the pope’s call for a crusade and how that rhetoric permeated European culture and escalated. By portraying Muslims as enemies of Christianity, Pope Urban II’s speech and accounts from crusaders reinforced a sense of Christian identity that inspired a pattern of violence against non-Christians for the centuries to come.

Introduction In this essay, I utilize the song “She Weeps Over Rahoon” arranged by Eric Whitacre (2008) to demonstrate how Langer’s expressivism can be understood to fulfil Burke’s account of the sublime such that certain music is aesthetically experienced as an instance of the sublime. I focus on Langer’s concept of virtual time, where the listening experience of music is unique from chronological time, in that it is multidimensional and accessible for our complete comprehension (Langer, 1953). I will first give an account of Langer and Burke’s philosophies, and subsequently apply them to “She Weeps Over Rahoon,” originally a poem by James Joyce wri!en in 1913 (see Appendix) inspired by a woman visiting her lover’s grave in Rahoon, Ireland, to demonstrate how the objective experience of listening to music can elicit the same affective responses as the sublime and be transcendental for the listener.

As the American Judiciary becomes a more active vehicle for progressing policy and partisanship, this paper examines what method of judicial selection we ought to prefer. That is, how we should prefer that state supreme court justices get to the bench. To answer this question, I first analyze the empirical data surrounding each of the four main and general selection methods used across states today (partisan elections, nonpartisan elections, merit selection, and appointment) and identify what general trends exist. Once these trends have been established, I then move into a philosophical discussion that asks what trends we ought to prefer in a given selection method, and what traits we ought to avoid. The question ends up being one of whether we should advocate for an independent judiciary, or one accountable to public opinion. I advocate for the former and the most independent selection method: merit selection.

Digital photography The beauty of a dark desert sky is unmatched. As kids, we wish on shooting stars, and always look up to see the planes floating overhead. But as an adult, I look up into the sky and see the same mesmerizing stars from my childhood. However, when I look up, I also see light and noise pollution, and mistake planes and satellites for shooting stars. But no one ever thinks about how shooting stars are created most frequently by our own space trash burning up in the atmosphere. It's funny how we all see beauty in destruction. In this image, a plane creates the illusion of a shooting star.

For this piece, I decided to create an inkblot using the traditional Japanese art method of Suminagashi. Suminagashi involves dropping blots of ink into a pan of water and alternatively dropping dots of soap into the ink. The ink is adverse to the soap and will disperse away from it. After repeating this process continuously, rings of ink form in the water. These rings can be blown on and manipulated to form patterns. When the pattern is satisfactory, the artist dips their paper into the pan, thereby transferring the ink pattern to the paper. The result is a gray-to-black scale of ink patterns. This piece reflects my views on truth. I feel the truth moves as a unit. To me truth is not wholly black and white, and it does not completely conform to one shape or pattern. It is gray, and changes shape, and can be hard to pin down. I think there is a lot to be considered when we think about how our truths impact the lives of others. It is never too late to consider both sides of the story.

The wilderness of Alaska is a seldom-visited, rarely-captured beauty of the world. These images hope to show just a shred of the surreal nature of Alaska. Bears, Foxes, and sweeping landscapes make up a small part of my summer trip, but they were also one of the most profound experiences. Places captured: Afognak Island, Denali State Park, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Brooks Range/Galbraith Lake, Kenai Fjords National Park
