There is a need for more transparent and rigorous methods for understanding and reporting model uncertainty and the stability of results across models. This session will provide a comprehensive introduction to the problem of model uncertainty. The session will also showcase a new program that uses combinatory methods to (1) generate a large number of plausible, slightly different regression models for a given data set, (2) estimate all of them, and (3) report the results as a distribution of estimates. How often is a coefficient of interest statistically significant? How frequently does the coefficient change signs?

Equality is also part of the normative context for one of the central preoccupations of sociology – understanding the causes and consequences of diverse forms of inequality, especially class, gender and race. This first plenary, then, will examine various issues connecting equality and real utopias. 9:00 pm Receptions Welcoming Reception – Hyatt Regency Denver FRIDAY, AUGUST 17 York-Stony Brook The length of each daytime session/meeting Panelists: Judith Lorber, City University of New activity is one hour and forty minutes, unless York-Brooklyn College and Graduate Center noted otherwise.

  • Glitter Bombing: Weapon of Choice for Gay Rights, Pro Choice Advocates
    Glitter Bombing: Weapon of Choice for Gay Rights, Pro Choice Advocates Glitter bombing is a relatively recent phenomenon and has been adopted as a form of protest, particularly (but not exclusively) by gay rights activists and supporters. Glitter bombing is readily accessible via Ruin Days (www.ruindays.com), an online business that offers a variety of glitter bomb options, including envelopes and spring-loaded tubes. A spring-loaded glitter bomb tube can be purchased anonymously for $22.99, and Ruin Days will ship directly to the intended recipient. Ruin Days posts the following caveat: “Your billing information and email will appear nowhere on the package.” Although glitter bombing as an offense has yet to be codified, some legal officials argue glitter bombing is technically an assault and battery. The glitter bombing of public officials rose to prominence in 2011, when Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Michele Bachmann, Karl Rove and Erik Paulson were all similarly glitter bombed. The common denominator among these political figures is a conservative orientation and opposition to gay rights, especially marriage equality. Recipients in Glitter bomb mailing tube (per open source) 2012 included Rick Santorum (on four separate occasions), Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. Mitt Romney’s bomber, a University of Colorado student, faced up to six months in jail and a fine of $1000. Glitter bombing was featured in the Season 3 premiere of Glee on September 20, 2011. Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry was glitter bombed on March 4, 2015, at his office in Lincoln. Fortenberry, a Republican Representative endorsed by Nebraska Right to Life, was targeted by a pro-choice group who included a note.

  • Revolutionary Games and Repressive Tolerance: on the Hopes and Limits of Ludic Citizenship
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7592/EJHR2015.3.2.3.shepard European Journal of Humour Research 3 (2/3) 18–34 www.europeanjournalofhumour.org Revolutionary Games and repressive tolerance: on the hopes and limits of ludic citizenship Benjamin Shepard Human Services Dept., City University of New York [email protected] Abstract This essay considers examples of boisterous game play, including ludic movement activity and humour in the context of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the USA. This form of auto- ethnography makes use of the researcher’s feelings, inviting readers into the personal, emotional subjectivities of the author. In this case, the author explores games, play, and humour highlighting a few of the possibilities and limits of play as a mechanism of social change, looking at the spaces in which it controls and when it liberates. While play has often been relegated to the sports field and the behaviour of children, there are other ways of opening spaces for play for civic purposes and political mobilization. The paper suggests play as a resource for social movements; it adds life and joyousness to the process of social change. Without playful humour, the possibilities for social change are limited. Keywords: play, Occupy Wall Street, Marx, Burning Man, pie fights. 1. Introduction Art and activism overlap in countless ways throughout the history of art and social movements. This essay considers the ways games, humour and play intervene and support the process. Here, social reality is imagined as a game, in which social actors play in irreverent, often humorous ways. Such activity has multiple meanings.

  • A Financial Impossibility? the Case of Liberal Arts Education in Germany
    (E)quality in Education - a Financial Impossibility? The Case of Liberal Arts Education in Germany Daniel Kontowski Department of Education Studies and Liberal Arts, University of Winchester, UK & University of Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] David Kretz Bard College Berlin, Germany; [email protected] Abstract Liberal arts colleges could embody a broad and robust social justice agenda in higher education in at least four senses. On a curricular level, we can note the egalitarian nature of learning, weakening the teacher-student dichotomy as well as disciplinary boundaries, by offering small-scale, discussion-based seminars within interdisciplinary integrated curricula. On an institutional level, the social integration of academic learning with campus-based communities promotes the self-organization of students and the democratizations of university bureaucracies. Their general non-vocational mission shows a healthy distance towards the neo-liberal marketization of higher learning, and an alternative to a structured higher education system that tend to reproduce social injustices. Finally, the size and flexibility of liberal arts colleges often make them the ideal incubators for radical, even utopian, educational experimentation. (see McArthur “think piece” as well as: Nussbaum 2010, Roth 2014) Though traditionally associated with the U.S., both Western and Eastern Europe have seen a surge in liberal education institutions since the 1990s (van der Wende 2011; Godwin 2013; Godwin 2015), half of them private. Yet unlike some of their US counterparts, they face a financial trilemma: without a supportive culture of private philanthropy, and lacking public support, they increasingly rely on tuition and slash financial support for students. This way they put their social justice potential at stake, and risk becoming elitist and exclusionary.

  • A Multi-Method Examination of Race, Class, Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Motivations for Participation in the Youtube-Based “It Gets Better Project”
    A Multi-method Examination of Race, Class, Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Motivations for Participation in the YouTube-based “It Gets Better Project” Laurie Marie Phillips A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Daniel Riffe Daren Brabham Barbara Friedman George Noblit Terri Phoenix © 2013 Laurie Marie Phillips ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT LAURIE MARIE PHILLIPS: A Multi-method Examination of Race, Class, Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Motivations for Participation in the YouTube-based “It Gets Better Project” (Under the direction of Dr. Daniel Riffe) On September 15, 2010, Dan Savage and Terry Miller created a YouTube channel that turned into a global phenomenon: the “It Gets Better Project” (IGBP). This multi-method study employs: 1) Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) to examine race, class, gender, and sexual orientation within IGBP videos; and 2) video chat-based in-depth interviews for determining participants’ motivations for IGBP participation and production of crowdsourced, social media-based strategic communication. Using sociologist Patricia Hill Collins’ “matrix of domination” as a theoretical framework for understanding structural, disciplinary, hegemonic, and interpersonal oppressions that led to the IGBP’s creation, video production, and video content, this empirical study draws from a sample of 21 videos and 20 interviews. MCDA findings reveal that participants presented a pared-back version of their own racial, class, gender, and sexual identities; projected their identities onto viewers; and created and perpetuated myths through their video narratives.
