Transnational intellectuals living in New York City: Perspectives on cross-cultural teaching, learning, and intellectual work

Knauer, Elizabeth Kahn ProQuest Dissertations & Theses New York Universit 2016 해외박사(DDOD)

This dissertation explores the ideals and practices of transnational intellectuals in New York City---individuals working in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who were born outside of the US and who have lived and worked in more than one national context, asking "How do transnational intellectuals understanding and make decisions about their work across the various contexts in which they conduct it?" Through a grounded theory inquiry based on in-depth interviewing and archival research, this study investigates a cross-cultural intellectual perspective to explain how ideals about intellectual work are influenced by, and shape, practices in particular contexts. Scholars describe their experiences and decisions in New York City; in the United States and other national contexts; in professional institutions; and in transnational intellectual spaces. Reflecting upon and comparing spaces in which individuals think, learn, teach, and disseminate ideas among colleagues, students, and publics, they illuminate some of the abiding dilemmas, opportunities, and ideals in regards to intellectual work and cross-cultural educational spaces. Scholars reflect (and act) upon their ideals in response to cultural variations in professional spaces, in pedagogy, and in national and global positionality. Transnational intellectuals describe alternative logics of legitimacy, tactics for teaching and learning, and new intellectual traditions that arise as a result of their experiences. This study has implications for imagining how cultural and intellectual institutions---and particularly higher education institutions---should support transnational cultural domains and cross-cultural educational spaces, leading to more intellectually rigorous and equitable teaching and learning communities that move across institutional and political boundaries. It also contributes to an understanding of pedagogical and epistemological approaches to support diverse student and scholar populations. These findings offer a point of departure for understanding the challenges and opportunities for globalizing higher education and developing more inclusive global intellectual communities and networks. This dissertation also empirically explains how a cross-cultural perspective and access to multiple professional, national, and local spaces can contribute to the development of new intellectual and pedagogical traditions that account for---and leverage---linguistic and cultural diversity in intellectual and educational spaces.

Translocal and multicultural counterpublics: Rumba and la regla de ocha in New York and Havana (Cuba)

Knauer, Lisa Maya New York University 2005 해외박사(DDOD)

My dissertation is a study of how individuals craft identities through traditional Afrocuban music and religion in and between the New York metropolitan area and Cuba. The linked practices of the musical complex of rumba and Afrocuban religions such as la regla de ocha (known colloquially as santeria), I argue, form a translocal cultural world with an ambiguous relationship to nation-states, ethnic and geographic communities, and commercial circuits in both the U.S. and Cuba. La regla de ocha in particular has evolved in recent years from a marginal, somewhat clandestine practice to become a global religion. During the past decade, as Cuba has turned to international tourism to resolve its protracted economic crisis, secular and sacred Afrocuban cultures have increased in popularity and social acceptance, both among the population at large and as a point of attraction for foreign tourists. On the one hand, it serves as both a cultural and spiritual resource for individuals trying to negotiate a shifting and uncertain political/economic terrain. Simultaneously, however, it has become a source of social and economic capital for both the Cuban government, which promotes and markets the country's Afrocuban heritage, and also those individuals---especially musicians, dancers and religious practitioners---who come to view it as a livelihood and not simply a way of life. During the same time, in the New York area, the loosely defined communities surrounding rumba and santeria have grown and changed. They have expanded outward to include growing numbers of non-Cubans, but have also been enriched by the constant flow of new migrants from Cuba. In both places, Afrocuban culture is thus a polysemous and highly charged space, a contact zone between people of diverse backgrounds and experiences, motivated by varied and perhaps conflicting needs and desires. These developments are not autonomous, I argue, for these sites are integrally and intimately connected by a regular flow of people, goods and ideas in both directions. They are thus constitutive elements of a multi-sited or translocal public sphere that connects Cuba with significant parts of its diaspora. But they are not exclusively Cuban, so they are linked to other circuits and impulses. My dissertation traces the evolution of rumba and Afrocuban religion in Cuba, and follows the recreation of these practices in the New York area, through the narratives and life experiences of Cubans, Cuban immigrants, and the varied ethnic and racial communities that have embraced these practices. This extended history provides a different perspective on relations between Cuban immigrants and their homeland. Further, because Cuban immigrants have never been a hegemonic force within New York's Latino population, this study situates Cuban immigrants within a broader ethnic and racial context.

Genetics of gilt estrous behavior

Knauer, Mark Thomas North Carolina State University 2009 해외박사(DDOD)

Studies were conducted to develop and analyze gilt estrous behavior as related to production and first parity traits. Variance components, genetic correlations, and genetic line differences were estimated for gilt estrus, puberty, growth, composition, structural conformation, and first litter sow reproductive measures. Four groups of Landrace-Large White gilts (n=1,225, GIS of NC) from 59 sires and 330 dams were utilized. Heritability (h 2) estimates for estrous traits; length of estrus, maximum strength of standing reflex with a boar, total strength of standing reflex with a boar, maximum strength of standing reflex without a boar, total strength of standing reflex without a boar, vulva redness, strength of vulva reddening and swelling (VISUAL VULVA), and vulva width were 0.21, 0.13, 0.26, 0.42, 0.42, 0.26, 0.45, and 0.58, respectively. For puberty traits; age at puberty, puberty weight, puberty backfat, and puberty longissimus muscle, h2 estimates were 0.29, 0.39, 0.41, and 0.38, respectfully. The h2 of whether or not a gilt farrowed a litter (STAY1) was 0.14. Age at puberty had favorable genetic associations with length of estrus, maximum strength of standing reflex with a boar, vulva redness, STAY1, and age at first farrowing (AFF) (-0.23, -0.32, 0.20, -0.27, and 0.76, respectively). Genetic correlations between length of estrus and the standing reflex traits with STAY1 (0.34 to 0.74) and AFF (-0.04 to -0.41) were positive and negative, respectively. Growth rate had unfavorable genetic correlations with length of estrus, the standing reflex traits, vulva redness, STAY1, and AFF (0.30, 0.14 to 0.34, -0.19, 0.52, and -0.25, respectfully). Backfat had unfavorable genetic associations with length of estrus, age at puberty, and first litter total number born (TNB1) (0.29, -0.26, and 0.47, respectively). Vulva redness and TNB1 had favorable phenotypic and genetic correlations (-0.14 and -0.53, respectively). For estrous traits, crossbred performance was superior to the pure-line average for length of estrus, total strength of standing reflex with a boar, vulva redness, VISUAL VULVA, and vulva width. These findings imply the use of F1 females would increase length of estrus and improve vulva traits. The unfavorable genetic associations between production and reproduction traits further strengthen the need for a balanced selection objective. Selection for strength of standing reflex with a boar is suggested through direct or indirect selection (i.e. age at first farrowing).
