The Joy of Science Class of 2019 Surfboard Art & Culture Spring-Summer 2019 Vol. 52 No. 1 The Joy of Science Class of 2019 Surfboard Art & Culture Alumni Blaze New Trails “Your Time Is Now” Shaping a New Perspective President’s Message Producing Masterpieces itzer College recently celebrated 264 of our seniors as they accepted their hard-earned diplomas at the College’s 55th Commencement. We congratulate them Pon their self-transformation, with help from their Pitzer professors, friends and supportive families. I was privileged to introduce Pitzer’s newest graduates and encourage them to produce a personal or professional masterpiece in their lives: through their hands, such as a work of art; their mind, such as creative writing, scholarship, a feat of engineering; or their heart, through relationships, social ties and passionate societal engagement. My wish for our new alumni is that they will also make masterpieces of themselves and transform the world. Their Pitzer diploma is just the beginning of their unfolding story. In this edition of The Participant, we are presented with a combination of alumni stories and faculty achievements that lift our community—from the growing Keck Science program to faculty research, publications and national and international honors. The feature story profiles a Pitzer student and three alumni breaking barriers in the sciences. They inspire me and I hope will inspire you. The sciences at Pitzer have grown beyond all expectations, and these profiles about how our students and alumni are blazing new trails in science create a compelling picture. It is fitting, considering this critical moment in Pitzer’s Keck Science program history as we transition from a three-college to a two-college partnership. We also catch up with our professors, who are fanning out around the world to conduct research, develop knowledge and prepare to lead a new class of students on their next academic journey. At Pitzer, our students, faculty and staff never hesitate to confront real-world issues, as we have continued to do from the environmental to the political. This year, we have challenged each other to open up to other experiences and perspectives. This commitment has been essential to transitioning from research and visioning the College’s future to implementation of the Pitzer College Strategic Plan 2024. Thank you for being a part of our Pitzer community, for your support and for joining us on our search for ever-brighter futures for our students and our graduates. With your help, we are continuing to make Pitzer a masterpiece of higher education. Melvin L. Oliver President George C.S.

Sex and Shock Jocks: An Analysis of the Howard Stern and Bob & Tom Shows Lawrence Soley Diederich College of Communication, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI Abstract: Studies of mass media show that sexual content has increased during the past three decades and is now commonplace. Research studies have examined the sexual content of many media, but not talk radio. A subcategory of talk radio, called “shock jock” radio, has been repeatedly accused of being indecent and sexually explicit. This study fills in this gap in the literature by presenting a short history and an exploratory content analysis of shock jock radio. The content analysis compares the sexual discussions of two radio talk shows: Infinity’s Howard Stern Show and Clear Channel’s Bob & Tom Show. Introduction The quantity and explicitness of sexual content in mass media has steadily increased during the past three decades. Greenberg and Busselle (1996) found that sexual activities depicted in soap operas increased between 1985 and 1994, rising from 3.67 actions per hour in 1985 to 6.64 per hour in 1994.

These universities asked: What is the value of academic research if it does not aim to improve the condition of what is being studied? This led to a theory-practice debate among departments offering the EdD and the PhD from the perspective of the goal of the dissertation research: Truth or improvement. To address this tension, the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) was formed in 2007 with 22 founding members increasing to 100 by 2017 to examine the EdD critically.
