The Word Made Flesh in Zen and Anarchism

This project won first place in the 2019 Signature Course Information Literacy Award. The award recognizes exemplary student work that achieves the learning outcomes of the Signature Course information literacy requirement, that students will be able to create and execute a research strategy, critically evaluate information, and navigate the scholarly conversation. The paper was self-nominated and completed in Arturo De Lozanne’s Fall 2019 Signature Course, “Originality in the Arts and Sciences.” Thomas Jennings project was chosen for his use and synthesis of an impressive array of sources and his successful use of archival sources in particular. Dr. De Lozanne supported this project by saying "he artfully weaves together philosophical and spiritual writings by Ferlinghetti and his contemporaries, historical cultural movements, additional works of art, and his own analysis to make a compelling argument for the benefits of protecting nature.”
