카지노 게임 컬렉션The power of language,카지노 게임 컬렉션 James McNutt says, is the thread looping its way through all of his work.

To explain, he quotes English poet John Milton: 카지노 게임 컬렉션The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.카지노 게임 컬렉션

카지노 게임 컬렉션I think he카지노 게임 컬렉션s saying that just by thinking, you make it so. I would argue it카지노 게임 컬렉션s beyond thinking 카지노 게임 컬렉션 it카지노 게임 컬렉션s writing, and putting it into language,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. McNutt (M.Ed.카지노 게임 컬렉션16). 카지노 게임 컬렉션That카지노 게임 컬렉션s what creates impressions and meaning.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Creating impressions and meaning through the written word has been a big focus of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s scholar카지노 게임 컬렉션s life. Mr. McNutt, who has cerebral palsy and has worked through significant physical challenges during his lifetime, successfully defended his second master카지노 게임 컬렉션s thesis this spring. The Education degree delving into the curriculum of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s medical school between 1880 and 1910, is his third Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s degree, and his fourth degree overall (he has a master카지노 게임 컬렉션s in history from the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto).

And not only is he intent on creating meaningful written works himself, but he카지노 게임 컬렉션s always curious about what various different written materials contain and how they inform those reading them.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I love the late 19th to early 20th century. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s my favourite period, because they still have the old ideals but they are learning how to be modern,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. McNutt. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I love looking at the old publications and the way they used language. The Victorians really knew how to write a sentence.카지노 게임 컬렉션

A novel approach to studying university history

For his most recent master카지노 게임 컬렉션s, supervised by Theodore Christou (Education) and Jacalyn Duffin (History of Medicine), Mr. McNutt studied medical teaching at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s by looking at the textbooks of the time. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I used the textbooks as a surrogate for curriculum, because from 1880-1910, there are no notes and syllabi to look at. I did look at a few diaries, but there are not many.카지노 게임 컬렉션

It카지노 게임 컬렉션s a novel approach, as far as he knows, to studying university life and teaching. 카지노 게임 컬렉션When looking at the history of a university, the focus is usually on the facilities and buildings, and the financials. There카지노 게임 컬렉션s a little about the professors, but the histories usually don카지노 게임 컬렉션t talk about what was taught. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s hard to get at what was taught,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. McNutt.

Specifically, in this thesis, Mr. McNutt wanted to examine how science and gender played into the curriculum at that time. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s had opened a women카지노 게임 컬렉션s medical college in 1883 after disgruntled male students forced women out of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Kingston, an early incarnation of Queen's Faculty of Medicine. The women카지노 게임 컬렉션s college closed in 1894 due to insufficient enrolment and women were not admitted again to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s medical studies until 1943. Mr. McNutt, in his research, compared the textbooks of the women카지노 게임 컬렉션s college with the ones used strictly by male students.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The only tentative conclusion I was able to make was that the women카지노 게임 컬렉션s textbooks, in general, were longer and more detailed than the men카지노 게임 컬렉션s books,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. McNutt. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In my thesis, I speculate that the instructors may have wanted to place more emphasis on the textbooks, rather than in-class instruction. I was able to find a diary from a female student, who wrote that her instructor only provided 15 minutes of in-class lecture.카지노 게임 컬렉션

On the science side, he looked at innovation and technological changes 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the X-ray, in particular, and its limitations 카지노 게임 컬렉션 at that time. He discussed his findings on uses of the X-ray at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Calgary earlier this month.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I was very successful with the science part, and not so much the gender question,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he explains. 카지노 게임 컬렉션For the gender part, I would need more eyewitness accounts of how they were taught. That was a challenge for me, because I had to let the literature tell me what it wanted to tell me, instead of looking for what I wanted.카지노 게임 컬렉션

An inspiration to the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community

Milton카지노 게임 컬렉션s quote about making a heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven, is undoubtedly a philosophy that permeates Mr. McNutt카지노 게임 컬렉션s entire life.

카지노 게임 컬렉션James is an inspiration to all of us 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the entire Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community of faculty, staff and students,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Duffin. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Over the last two years, he has bravely contended with illness. The fact that he worked through that and got on with it to produce an excellent thesis 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and one about the history of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s at that 카지노 게임 컬렉션 is an incredible achievement.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Duncan McDowall, 카지노게임사이트 Historian  and Adjunct Professor (History), sat on Mr. McNutt카지노 게임 컬렉션s examination committee, and echoes Dr. Duffin카지노 게임 컬렉션s comments.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Mr. McNutt is an impressive person. He goes beyond all expectations. He writes very well, and produced a very good thesis,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. McDowall. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In addition, he has a tremendous spirit, and confronts any and every challenge head-on.카지노 게임 컬렉션

In addition to his studies, Mr. McNutt has worked hard on accessibility issues on campus. This past year, he was awarded the for his 카지노 게임 컬렉션Accessibility Audit,카지노 게임 컬렉션 a project that used video to share and bring to light accessibility challenges on campus.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been really grateful to be recognized. My hope now is that it motivates people to act and continue making change,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.

And what카지노 게임 컬렉션s next for Mr. McNutt?

He is taking a break, especially after much preparation for the conference in Calgary. But, indeed, he is 카지노 게임 컬렉션shopping around for PhDs.카지노 게임 컬렉션
