The Centerboard Schooner is a late 19th-century wreck located on the Blackwater River near Milton, Florida. Students from the University of West Florida investigated this site during the 2010 and 2011 maritime field schools.

Students from the University of West Florida investigated this site during the 2010 and 2011 maritime field schools. Excavations on the Centerboard Schooner provided evidence that this vessel was most likely abandoned before the 20th-century. The schooner's size and archaeological data suggest that it was built on the Gulf Coast. Other regional shipwrecks identified as schooners were used in comparison to better understand the role that this schooner played in the maritime economy. The Blackwater River is rich with maritime history. Historical documentation indicates that this schooner may have been a casualty of Confederate actions during the American Civil War. Archaeological and historical data suggest that the Centerboard Schooner operated during the middle to late 19th century as a regional merchant vessel.

- WHERE THE CHILDREN LIE: A DEMOGRAPHIC AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF TWO SANTA ROSA COUNTY CEMETERIES.

- Abstract/Description

Carnley is a small, rural, family cemetery near Chumuckla in Santa Rosa County, Florida (site #8SR844) that was in use from the late 1884 to the early 1936. At Carnley cemetery, fifty percent of the identified graves are juveniles between the ages of 0 and 5 years. A number of explanations are possible for this high percentage of child burials. In this paper, I test the hypothesis that children were buried more frequently in family cemeteries than in community cemeteries, possibly due to...
Show moreCarnley is a small, rural, family cemetery near Chumuckla in Santa Rosa County, Florida (site #8SR844) that was in use from the late 1884 to the early 1936. At Carnley cemetery, fifty percent of the identified graves are juveniles between the ages of 0 and 5 years. A number of explanations are possible for this high percentage of child burials. In this paper, I test the hypothesis that children were buried more frequently in family cemeteries than in community cemeteries, possibly due to social concepts of childhood and child mortality, and that creating a burial ground for children was one of the primary roles of the family cemetery during this time period. In order to test this hypothesis, I compare the mortality structures of Carnley Cemetery to that of a contemporaneous community cemetery, and use Fisher's Exact Test to measure the statistical significance of the differences in ages 0 to 5 mortality rates between the cemeteries. I then create GIS maps of the two cemeteries to analyze the spatial structure of these cemeteries in order to detect patterns in burial location that would indicate age-based mortuary choices.

During the fall of 2005, faculty from the University of West Florida (UWF) were notified of ship remains located in the Blackwater River where the Seminole Lumber Camp once operated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After an initial visit by faculty and students, it was determined that the remains were that of an eastern coastal paddle-wheel steamboat.

Show moreDuring the fall of 2005, faculty from the University of West Florida (UWF) were notified of ship remains located in the Blackwater River where the Seminole Lumber Camp once operated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After an initial visit by faculty and students, it was determined that the remains were that of an eastern coastal paddle-wheel steamboat. The hull was intact, and the vessel was equipped with a boiler and walking beam steam engine. By the late eighteenth century, steam power became prevalent in the maritime industry and helped bring about the development of the eastern coastal paddle-wheel steamboat with its distinctive walking beam engine. The information contained in this thesis is the result of several field schools conducted between 2006 and 2010 where students extensively recorded the hull and the machinery, including the walking beam engine which engineers built in New York City in 1870. The thesis is an all-embracing summary of the students' hard work and provides detailed information on the history of lumbering and steam navigation in the area and the development and construction of the eastern coastal paddle-wheel steamboat.

Show moreA gap in historical research was determined and a historiography was conducted to answer this research question: How did William Torrey Harris help to elevate the professionalization of teaching? Harris held multiple educational positions throughout his fortyeight year career and contributed to the professionalization of teaching within each post. As a teacher and principal, Harris functioned as an active member of multiple local and national level teachers' associations and organizations to promote education. He initiated the graded system into schools, increased opportunities for African American teachers, and wrote the memorial which helped to establish Kirksville Normal School. As Assistant Superintendent, Harris conducted numerous school visits and provided feedback to teachers. The introduction of Leigh's Phonetic System improved reading instruction and the increase of German instruction elevated both student and teacher enrollment. Harris's foundation and publication of the Journal of Speculative Philosophy (JSP) added philosophic thought into teachers' lives. During his Superintendence, Harris published key educational pieces containing specific advice for teachers. Harris's annual reports contained evidence of communication and endeavors he made to improve the education of future teachers, current educators, as well as students. Work within the Concord School of Philosophy and as editor of the International Education Series (IES) were additional platforms Harris utilized to share effective techniques and strategies with countless educators. Throughout Harris's post as the U's. Commissioner of Education, his continued effort to professionalize teaching was evident. His work with normal schools, encouragement of communication between libraries and schools, committee involvement, and additional publications were the culmination of lifelong efforts he made to improve the teaching profession.

At once, it engages in the urgent debates of Progressive Era America at the turn of the century and reflects the residual force of the Western paternalism that accompanied U.S. imperial aspirations in the nineteenth century.

Show moreCharlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland grapples with the interregnum between changing ideological constructs. At once, it engages in the urgent debates of Progressive Era America at the turn of the century and reflects the residual force of the Western paternalism that accompanied U.S. imperial aspirations in the nineteenth century. Taking place in a world removed from patriarchy, Herland mirrors the social progress of women's roles and independence; however, the novel's feminist utopia depends upon sciences of racial purity and eugenics at odds with its progressive agenda. In a consistent push and pull between social progression and digression, Herland makes headway toward feminine agency yet falls subject to the contamination of imperialistic masculinity and patriarchy both in the content of the novel as well as Gilman's own attempt to conquer and appropriate a masculine form. Gilman's appropriation creates a novel that is both liberating and dangerous for the modern woman and the success of the home and population. The juxtaposition of Gilman's progressive feminist ideas with her decidedly regressive views on eugenics in Herland illustrate how even the most progressive feminism can be bound by and defined by imperialist patriarchal tenets.
