Promising Practices for Social & Emotional Learning ii Preparing Youth to Thrive: Susan Crown Exchange (SCE) is a Chicago-based foundation invested in shaping an ecosystem of anytime, anywhere learning to prepare youth to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing and highly connected world. Through three primary programs—digital learning, social and emotional learning, and catalyst grants—SCE connects talent and innovation with forces for positive change. SCE’s exchange model leverages up-to-date research, best practices, grant-making, and innovative programming to design, evaluate, and promote high quality learning experiences for young people beyond the classroom, particularly youth from underserved communities. The David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality is an organization focused on improving the quality of services available from expanded learning systems and settings. The Weikart Center’s core product and services line, the evidence-based Youth Program Quality Intervention, is the leading performance management and measurement intervention in the expanded learning field and is currently used by over 105 systems at over 4,000 expanded learning program sites. The Weikart Center has core competencies in the areas of positive youth development, adult learning, measurement, knowledge management, technical assistance, and lower stakes accountability policy. iii Foreword by Karen Pittman The verdict is in: Social and emotional learning (SEL) skills matter enough to be mandated. Social and emotional skills have always mattered to those who ascribe to positive youth development. Voluntary school and community-based programs have long been the places families and youth rely on, not only for safety and relationships, but also for exploration and practical skill building. But, until recently, they were relegated to second-class status. So-called soft skills, non-academic skills, and non-cognitive skills hovered outside the realm of public accountability. These skills were frequently acknowledged as useful by the big four (education, health, social services, juvenile justice) but either seen as not critical to the primary goals mandated by public funding (academic achievement, pregnancy or substance abuse prevention, violence prevention) or not enforceable. Even if all agreed that social and emotional skills mattered, lack of evidence that these skills were easily malleable or measurable made them unmarketable in public policy circles, even those focused on expanding out-of-school-time (OST) programs. But this picture is rapidly changing with a growing body of research studies proving social and emotional skills matter and will increasingly play an important role as young people progress into adulthood. These skills are linked to increased academic performance and employability and decreased anti-social behavior and mental health issues. Adolescent brain research also confirms that social and emotional skills are malleable well into young adult years. The flood of survey tools suggests that these skills are measurable. The groundbreaking collaborative work behind this guide, however, is, in my opinion, the first solid evidence that we have that SEL skill building is widely marketable to programs, to funders, and eventually to policy makers. The Forum for Youth Investment partnered with the HighScope Educational Research Foundation to create the Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality because of our shared belief in the importance of promoting research- based practice as an alternative to contributing to the proliferation of research-based program models. The collaboration with Susan Crown Exchange and the eight visionary out-of-school organizations whose disciplined brilliance is reflected in this Guide is a stellar example of what happens when the research question shifts from measuring and replicating program outcomes to distilling and disseminating program practice. This learning community was incredibly productive: They agreed on a subset of social and emotional skills that are both easily observable and relevant to most OST programs, developed practical measures, and tested them, knowing that they were running the risk of revealing program weaknesses. They pushed to describe the nuanced practices they use to promote growth in each of the six skill areas, using an iterative process to create best practice standards that were relevant across the Challenge programs, linked to program effectiveness, and supported by research. And then, as a bonus, they pushed forward to create a theory of what it takes to support the infusion of these SEL practices into their programs’ official curricula, which varied from pregnancy prevention to boat building. Combined, these three accomplishments give OST practitioners the tools they need to declare SEL goals and improve SEL practice. This is both timely and important. OST programs are, by design, hardwired to promote these soft skills. They are voluntary, experiential, choice-driven settings for relationship building, exploration, and learning. They are increasingly being recognized as critical partners in system-wide efforts to expand learning. These tools, however, provide the OST field with an opportunity to do more than increase market share: They pave the way to making readiness broadly marketable to policy makers. By demonstrating the level of organizational intentionality even the best youth development programs have to commit to ensure that staff implement the formal programming in ways that support SEL skill building, they are stepping forward to demonstrate what, I believe, needs to be the mandated across settings in which youth spend time: Demonstrate how the official curriculum supports the developmental. Only then will the OST field have done everything it can to ensure that all young people are ready to meet life’s opportunities and challenges. Promising Practices for Social & Emotional Learning iv Preparing Youth to Thrive: Foreword by Susan Crown Far too many young people are growing up today with challenges that are almost insurmountable. Kids contend with poverty, random violence, substandard schools, racism, and a scarcity of safe, supportive places to hang out. Yet even facing these kinds of challenges, the young people highlighted in this guide like Brenda from the AHA program, and Kimo from the Philadelphia Wooden Boat Factory are on the path to success. Why do some kids beat the odds while others struggle? At SCE, we believe the work we have undertaken over the past two years helps us move closer

Racial Gatekeeping in Country & Hip-Hop Music By Cervanté Pope Student ID #: 947767021 Portland State University Pope 2 Introduction In mass communication, gatekeeping refers to how information is edited, shaped and controlled in efforts to construct a “social reality” (Shoemaker, Eichholz, Kim, & Wrigley, 2001). Gatekeeping has expanded into other fields throughout the years, with its concepts growing more and more easily applicable in many other aspects of life. One way it presents itself is in regard to racial inclusion and equality, and despite the headway we’ve seemingly made as a society, we are still lightyears away from where we need to be. Because of this, the concept of cultural property has become even more paramount, as a means for keeping one’s cultural history and identity preserved.

  • The Forging of a White Gay Aesthetic at the Saint, 1980–84
    The Forging of a White Gay Aesthetic at the Saint, 1980–84 Feature Article Tim Lawrence University of East London Abstract An influential private party for white gay men that opened in downtown New York in 1980 and closed in 1988, the Saint was a prolific employer of high-profile DJs, yet their work has gone largely unanalysed. This article describes and contextualises the aesthetic of these DJs, paying particular attention to the way they initially embraced music recorded by African American musicians, yet shifted to a notably “whiter” sound across 1982 and 1983, during which time new wave and Hi-NRG recordings were heard much more regularly at the spot. The piece argues that this shift took place as a result of a number of factors, including the introduction of a consumer ethos at the venue, the deepening influence of identity politics and the encroaching impact of AIDS, which decimated the venue’s membership. These developments led Saint DJs to place an ever-greater emphasis on the creation of a smooth and seamless aesthetic that enhanced the crowd’s embrace of a synchronized dancing style. DJs working in electronic dance music scenes would go on to adopt important elements of this approach. Keywords: The Saint, DJing, whiteness, neoliberalism, AIDS Tim Lawrence is the author of Love Saves the Day: A History of Dance Music Culture (1970–79) (Duke, 2003) and Hold On to Your Dreams: Arthur Russell and the Downtown Music Scene, 1973–92 (Duke, 2009). He is currently writing a book on New York club culture, 1980–84, again for Duke, and leads the Music Culture: Theory and Production programme at the University of East London.

While aspirants are numberless, bankable talent is in short supply. Long-term talent contracts appear to embody a durable, perhaps inherent, axiom in employment: labour shortage favours employees. The article approaches this axiom through the lens of recent reconsiderations of the concept of ‘primitive accumulation’. In the case of employment, this concept highlights employers’ impetus to transcend legal and customary barriers to and limits on their capacity to capture and compel labour. The article supports this argument through the analysis of contests between Los Angeles-based recording artists and record companies over the California and federal laws that govern their political-economic relationships.

HarrisongsMusic, Ltd. 1 is the fourth round of litigation involving claims of copyright infringement against George Harrison, formerly of the Beatles. The first round began in 1971, when Bright Tunes Music Corporation brought an action against Harrison claiming that his song, "My Sweet Lord" infringed upon its copyright in the song "He's So Fine" by Ronald Mack. The case went to trial in 1976.2 In order to prevail in a copyright infringement action, the plaintiff must prove the defendant copied the protected work.3 Since the plaintiff rarely has direct evidence of copying, the courts allow proof by circum- stantial evidence. Two methods are permissible: (1) evidence that the defendant's work is substantially similar to the plaintiff's; and (2) evi- dence of the defendant's access to the plaintiff's work.4 These two types of circumstantial evidence give rise to an inference of copying.
