    Robert A. Franklin, Ph.D. October 24, 2016 Human Resources Central Washington University Ellensburg, Washington Dear Sir/Madam: With this letter I am applying for the General Manager, KCWU Radio position at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. I begin with a brief history of my management and administrative experiences in public radio management. Prior to receiving my doctorate in Heritage Studies from Arkansas State University, I managed and supervised professional personnel and student staff at university radio stations in Mississippi, Illinois, Maryland and Nebraska. As Associate Professor at Jackson State University, I taught broadcasting courses in the Department of Mass Communications. I advised broadcast students; collaborated with faculty on departmental projects; and, developed a recruiting plan to increase student diversity in the Mass Communications Department at Jackson State University. During my tenure as Assistant Professor/Director of Media Operations- KVNO/UNO-Television at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, I managed, directed budget and supervised professional staff and taught in the School of Communication. Additionally, I collaborated with faculty and community organizations to develop design and implement a public outreach media campaign to support homeless youths. In 2008, I collaborated with colleagues and community leaders to spearhead a clothing drive in Omaha, Nebraska designed to collect and transport clothes to homeless Ethiopian youths living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The clothing drive involved participation of high school, college students, local businesses, state and elected officials in Omaha, Nebraska and Houston, Texas. I planned and initiated a highly visible community service initiative titled, “Children of Omaha Public Service Media Initiative,” winner of the Nebraska Broadcaster Award of Excellence in 2009.

  • Universiv Micrcsilms International
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.

  • Black Voices Matter
    Week 10: Black Voices Matter 1. Had it not been for First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, this singer would not have sung in front of Lincoln Memorial in 1939. Who was the singer? A: Marian Anderson Marian Anderson, born on February 27, 1897 in Philadelphia, sang a broad range of classical music, from lieder, to opera, to spiritual. Anderson became an important figure in the struggle for black artists to overcome racial prejudice in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution refused permission for Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. The incident placed Anderson into the spotlight of the international community on a level unusual for a classical musician. With the aid of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt, Anderson performed a critically acclaimed open-air concert on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in the capital. She sang before an integrated crowd of more than 75,000 people and a radio audience in the millions. Anderson continued to break barriers for black artists in the United States, becoming the first black person, American or otherwise, to perform at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on January 7, 1955. Her performance as Ulrica in Giuseppe Verdi's Un ballo in maschera was the only time she sang an opera role on stage. See her sing at the Lincoln Memorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAONYTMf2pk Marian Anderson sings “Deep River” (Spiritual): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bytFrsL4_4 2.
