FAMOUS DOCUMENT: " A Reflection on Sequoyah Rising by Steve Russell" by Jennifer Lee Lawson, MA

By Jennifer Lawson As a graduate student, I was interested in many things. I had become somewhat of an expert on Native Studies, but my interests were extremely broad and I was moving away from that. I knew Steve Russell from my undergraduate years. I corresponded with him about U.S./Native American issues. He gave me reading recommendations for my undergraduate thesis. I heard from Steve Russell as a graduate student when he emailed me saying he was working on a book and wanted me to look it over. That’s what we do. We do that kind of thing. It seemed normal, so I did. There wasn’t much to what he wrote, but I did recommend that he read Jeremy Waldron’s “Supersceding Historic Injustice.” That’s basically all I did. I forgot about it and did my other work. Later, Russell emailed me saying the book was published and that I was mentioned in it. One always wants to see how one’s intellectual help made a difference, so I bought the book and read it. I was horrified. In tha...

"Cantor's Theorem and the Problem of Infinity" (2024) Jennifer Lee Lawson, MA

Cantor’s Theorem and the Problem of Infinity Jennifer Lee Lawson Infinity. Try for a moment to grasp it. Numbers with no end. Is it that it exists and we cannot grasp it, or is it that it simply does not exist? In this paper, I will argue that infinite cardinal numbers may not exist. I will analyze Cantor’s Theorem to show this. First, I will explain Cantor’s Theorem. Then, I will argue why I believe, when tried for infinite Sets, it is truly possible that he is incorrect. I will argue without using many mathematical or logical symbols, for ease of reading. Cantor’s Theorem is well known in mathematics, logic and philosophy of mathematics. It is a theorem in Set Theory. In the end, Cantor’s Theorem aims to show there is no largest cardinal number. In other words, there is no largest infinity. The concept of infinity is taught, in the United States, in public schools in our Math classes. On our finite chalkboards, we use < — > to symbolize numbers that go on forever in both d...
