El permanente paralelismo entre el conjunto de movimientos y transformaciones propias de las esferas culturales y sociales de nuestras ciudades y las manifestaciones arquitectónicas a modo de respuesta a tales sistema de alteración y encaje, nos sugieren un diálogo permanente entre las expresiones del mundo social y la arquitectura como escenario de tales transformaciones. Diálogo construido a diario, que sigue el pulso de la incorporación permanente de nuevas necesidades, sugiriendo una arquitectura destinada a convertirse en caja de resonancia y respuesta a tales problemáticas. Arquitectura y sociedad, tiempo y respuestas arquitectónicas, parecen construir un nexo permanente, cimentado en el cambio y la transmutación, pero consolidado en la dependencia mutua. La arquitectura es sin dudad una de las más importantes manifestaciones culturales de nuestra sociedad, expresión que nos habla y cuenta de las maneras y modos de vivir de una sociedad entera, de sus anhelos y sistemas de interacción, por tanto, más allá de su natural presencia como sistema de respuesta y solución, asume un rol fundamental de evidencia cultural, manifestación sintomática del habitar de una cultura

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of History / Charles W. Sanders, Jr. / The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory. By the end of the century, the battlefields were all but gone. However, to support tourism in the 21st century, Franklin’s preservationists and local leaders largely succeeded in recapturing the memory of their battle by reclaiming much of the battlefield space. In contrast, at Nashville, memory of that battle remains obscure. The city continues to focus its efforts on the future, providing little opportunity to reclaim either the battlefield or memory of the Battle of Nashville.

Contributions to a knowledge of Latter-day Saint Church history can not only be made from a study of the lives of its great leaders, but such contributions can also be made from a study of some of the local leaders of the Church. Benjamin Franklin Stewart was one of these leaders who gained only local and temporary acclaim. Yet he contributed a life of service to his Church.

The purpose of this study was to trace the development of case law regarding sexual harassment in elementary and secondary public schools through a survey of state, circuit, and federal court districts, and United States Supreme Court decisions. To trace these laws, the study examined nationwide sexual harassment court decisions from 1988 to present. Sexual harassment is a critical problem in the school environment. Recent surveys indicate that sexual harassment has reached epidemic proportions in our schools and classrooms. Sexual harassment occurs daily on buses, in hallways, gymnasiums, classrooms, and on the playgrounds. Oftentimes, sexual harassment goes unreported by students. More importantly, when sexual harassment is reported, the school does virtually nothing to assure studetns that their complaints will be taken seriously. Sexual harassment can contribute to serious harm to the victim, their families, other classmates, the school, and the school district. A review of related literature reveals that students who are sexually harassed suffer from behavioral, emotional, academic, and physical consequences. Without the support and intervention of school officials, students may not be able to overcome the impact of sexual harassment. Several therories and models were reviewed in the study to examine possible explanations for incidence of sexual harassment in public schools. It should be noted that no single theory or model offered a precise explanation of the reasons students are harassed in schools. Several landmark and key court cases regarding sexual harassment in public school were reviewed. Also, key federal legislative statutes and guidelines that provide the framework for judicial decisions on sexual harassment in public schools were reviewed. It was determined that four U. S. Supreme Court cases set precedence for lower courts to follow in adjudicating decisions of sexual harassment in public schools. The judicial decrees protect students in the school environment and are specific about the roles and responsiblities of the school district, administrators, and teachers. Additionally, the courts have taken important and significant steps towards making school districts officials liable for not effectively addressing sexual harassment in the schools. Based on the broad scope of the study and the conclusions, several educational, prevention, and intervention strategies were recommended for students, parents, teachers, administrators, school districts, the community, and stakeholders. If these recommendations are implemented in school districts nationwide, the incidence and prevalence of sexual harassment in public school should decrease significantly.
