The purpose of this research is to identify a link between nineteenth-century American imperialism in Latin America and the budding field of a profit-based media. Specific emphasis is placed on the formation and success of a profit-based circulation media industry during an era in which the wheels for an American Empire were first put into motion.

Show moreThe purpose of this research is to identify a link between nineteenth-century American imperialism in Latin America and the budding field of a profit-based media. Specific emphasis is placed on the formation and success of a profit-based circulation media industry during an era in which the wheels for an American Empire were first put into motion. This media was utilized to provide a sense of justification and rationalization for the obviously-aggressive actions of its own nation. It is my assertion, though, that the media was a passive agent in this process, reflecting representations that its audience desired in order to rationalize imperialism, rather than actively shaping public views. While both the media's place within the domestic and foreign policy of the United States since the Spanish-American War and American portrayals of Latin America have been well-documented, there has been considerably less attention given to this connection prior to 1898. Using extensive primary and secondary resources as a springboard for the creation of a theoretical framework, this thesis represents an effort to expand understanding of the connection between culture and imperialism during the early formative years of the American Empire, and the manner in which American society used the media as a tool to justify its own imperialistic actions.

This study aimed to resituate the critical educational theory of correspondence and a hidden curriculum in public schools within the modern critical landscape of time precarity. Through a mixed-methods exploratory design, this study employed and refined a novel survey instrument to measure educator perceptions of time governance in schools and its relationship to the predominant socioeconomic class status of their students.

Show moreThis study aimed to resituate the critical educational theory of correspondence and a hidden curriculum in public schools within the modern critical landscape of time precarity. Through a mixed-methods exploratory design, this study employed and refined a novel survey instrument to measure educator perceptions of time governance in schools and its relationship to the predominant socioeconomic class status of their students. The quantitative findings indicated strong support for the governance of student time, but the sample size limited its ability to determine variations by student socioeconomic class. Interviews were conducted to contextualize the quantitative data and explore teacher practices as they relate to perceptions. The interview findings provided strong support for the correspondence theory aligned to the modern research on time precarity and its variations by socioeconomic class. The report also includes analysis of the implications of the study and recommendations for future research.
