  • Genetic Attributions and Gender Differences Ilan
    GENETIC ATTRIBUTIONS AND GENDER DIFFERENCES THE EFFECT OF SCIENTIFIC THEORIES ON EVALUATIONS OF SEXUAL BEHAVIORS by ILAN DAR NIMROD B.A., The University of Haifa, 2001 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (PSYCHOLOGY) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2008 Ilan Dar Nimrod, 2008 Abstract Much scientific and media attention has been devoted to the growing body of research into the genetic correlates of human phenomena. However, many of the resulting reports lead to a deterministic interpretation of the role of genes, and involve fundamental misunderstandings of genetics and heredity. Hence, questions arise regarding the ways in which people make sense of the behavioural genetics research they encounter in everyday life. Furthermore, essentialist accounts are often embedded within popular understanding of politically sensitive topics, such as eugenics, race, and sex, and therefore it is important to examine how people comprehend genetic influences on behaviour. In this dissertation, I review current findings regarding the effects of genetic attributions on beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours in the context of the social world. Particular attention is paid to such effects in the context of gender issues. Specifically, in three studies I examine the effects of exposure to scientific theories concerning human sexuality on attitudes towards and evaluations of men’s dubious sexual behaviors. The results indicate that among men exposure to evolutionary psychology arguments leads to more lenient evaluations and judgments of an array of dubious sexual behaviors, compared with exposure to social constructivist arguments.

Kirkman. The Walking Dead: Book 1. Days Gone By.(Compendium not required, but you may want.) O’Malley, Brian Lee. Scott Pilgrim 1-6. Speigelman, Art. The Complete Maus. Mazzuchelli, David. Asterios Polyp. Bechdel, Alison. Fun Home. Cruse, Howard. Stuck Rubber Baby, Sacco, Joe. Safe Area Goradze. Ideas to explore: Since the ground-breaking publication of Art Spiegelman's Maus in 1993, "graphic novels" have entered the global cultural mainstream. A truly multicultural genre, comics created by men and women around the world now appear in U.S. high school and college curricula, hold the attention of academic critics, and earn big box-office returns in cinematic adaptations. In this course we will survey the current field and read works of fiction (such as THE WATCHMEN), autobiography (MAUS, FUN HOME), journalism (SAFE AREA GORAZDE), and what we might call "comic theory" (UNDERSTANDING COMICS). And just as comics have become a global medium, they are perhaps inherently "postmodern." Many contemporary comics are self-conscious about questions of form and theories of representation, a characteristic that will help us formulate new versions of the questions often considered in literary study. How do words and pictures drawn together in sequential narratives tell stories? What different skills are needed to comprehend this complex play of image, language, and time? What can graphic books do that other books cannot, and what are the constraints that shape this form? In order to better understand these works and the culture that produced them, we will consider them through lenses including history, gender, psychology, and class, as well as their visual elements.

  • Cybercommunities, Postmodern Aesthetics, and Political Musicking of Multimedia Mashups
    THE CREATION AND MEDIATION OF POLITICAL TEXTS IN VIRTUAL SPACES: CYBERCOMMUNITIES, POSTMODERN AESTHETICS, AND POLITICAL MUSICKING OF MULTIMEDIA MASHUPS M.A. THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay M. Bernhagen, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Master‘s Thesis Committee: Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Adviser Approved by Professor Daniel Avorgbedor Professor David Staley ______________________ Adviser Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the face of increasing consolidation of the radio market, a more conservative political climate, and growing sensitivity to public dissent in the wake of the Patriot Act, there has been a dearth of anti-war music in the mass music market since 2001. While country radio has provided a platform for the musical articulation of pro-war positions, YouTube, a video-sharing website, has become a place where the increasingly individual experience of listening to anti-war music can be supplemented with more communal listening. On YouTube, users on both sides of the war debate can create their own political mashups, a medium comprised of mixed audio samples and/or mixed video samples preserved for public consumption. Observing the behavior as a silent participant on the message boards corresponding to mashups of Toby Keith‘s ―Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)‖ and John Lennon‘s ―Imagine,‖ I demonstrate that political communities with specific communication and aesthetic values are being formed around these multimedia signs. Online communities offer a somewhat more democratic alternative for public articulation of political positions; however, the rhetoric of the online communities and of the larger musical-political climate post-9/11 is considerably parallel.
