Molloy Chancellor, Rutgers University–New Brunswick Dr. Jonathan Holloway President, Rutgers University Dr. Brian L. Strom Chancellor, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences and Executive Vice President for Health Affairs Dr. Jonathan Holloway President, Rutgers University 4 255th Anniversary Commencement 5 Commencement Speaker and Honorary Degree Recipient N atasha T rethewey Doctor of Letters Rutgers is proud to bestow upon Natasha Trethewey an honorary doctor of letters degree. Trethewey is an award-winning author and former U.S. Poet Laureate. She has focused her career on examining the intersections and contentions between public and personal history, national memorialization and forgetting, and the fraught legacy of race in America. Her important work has earned her a Pulitzer Prize and a spot on the New York Times best-sellers list, among other notable achievements. Born in Mississippi to a poet/professor and a social worker, Trethewey earned a bachelor of arts degree in English at the University of Georgia, a master of arts in English and creative writing from Hollins University, and a master of fine arts in poetry from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She served as the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of English and Creative Writing at Emory University until 2017 and is currently the Board of Trustees Professor of English at Northwestern University. The author served two terms as the 19th Poet Laureate of the United States (2012–2014). During her second term, she traveled to cities and towns across the nation to seek out the many ways poetry lives in American communities and reported on her findings in a feature on the PBS News Hour Poetry Series. Trethewey is the author of five collections of poetry, including Native Guard (2006)—for which she was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize—and, most recently, Monument: Poems New and Selected (2018); a book of nonfiction,Beyond Katrina: A Meditation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast (2010); and a memoir, Memorial Drive (2020), a New York Times best seller. Seamlessly blending individual and collective experience, from the civil war to civil rights, Trethewey’s work illuminates the history of American trauma and resilience. The author inspires readers to reflect and learn while engaging in intricate stories that captivate. In 2012, the New Yorker stated of her work, “Trethewey’s writing mines the cavernous isolation, brutality, and resilience of African American history, tracing its subterranean echoes to today.” Her careful research and the lyricism of her prose and poetry give birth to characters and experiences that connect to all humans and explore struggles faced by all. Trethewey is the recipient of fellowships from the Academy of American Poets, National Endowment for the Arts, Guggenheim Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Beinecke Library at Yale, and Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2017, she received the Heinz Award for Arts and Humanities. A chancellor of the Academy of American Poets since 2019, Trethewey was awarded the 2020 Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry for Lifetime Achievement from the Library of Congress. 6 255th Anniversary Commencement 7 Honorary Degree Recipient Honorary Degree Recipient L aurie G arrett R ush D .

  • 1 COVID-19 Whole Family Approach Impact Research September 2020
    COVID-19 Whole Family Approach Impact Research September 2020 Dr. Amy Castro Baker and team at the University of Pennsylvania are currently in the midst of an outcome and process evaluation of two social service collaboratives in the New York City metro area: Familia Adelante in the South Bronx, serving the Mott Haven, Concourse Village, and Melrose neighborhoods, and Families for Literacy in Jersey City, NJ, serving the Communipaw, McGinley Square, and Journal Square areas. Both of these collaboratives are instances of the Pascale Sykes Foundation’s Whole Family Approach, a social service provision and funding model that posits that social and economic resilience among working poor families can be effectively cultivated when organizations collaborate to deliver social services to the entire household. These interventions seek to interrupt cycles of intergenerational poverty through support services that address financial stability and mobility, child and adult wellbeing, and healthy family relationships. Since December 2017, the research team at the University of Pennsylvania has been gathering data about the impact of this approach using a mixed methods research design that combines quantitative outcome measurements (survey data; clinical data-mining) with qualitative data collection (clinical data mining; semi-structured interviews; participant observation). This design maximizes our ability to understand both what is happening inside the interventions as well as why these changes are occurring. In early 2020, the emergence of Covid-19 drastically and fundamentally changed the organization of social and economic life in the United States. Many workplaces shuttered their doors, as white-collar workers shifted to home-based work, while many blue-collar workers, unable to earn their living remotely, faced job loss or reductions in pay.

  • Orienting Fandom: the Discursive Production of Sports and Speculative Media Fandom in the Internet Era
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository ORIENTING FANDOM: THE DISCURSIVE PRODUCTION OF SPORTS AND SPECULATIVE MEDIA FANDOM IN THE INTERNET ERA BY MEL STANFILL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications with minors in Gender and Women’s Studies and Queer Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor CL Cole, Co-Chair Associate Professor Siobhan Somerville, Co-Chair Professor Cameron McCarthy Assistant Professor Anita Chan ABSTRACT This project inquires into the constitution and consequences of the changing relationship between media industry and audiences after the Internet. Because fans have traditionally been associated with an especially participatory relationship to the object of fandom, the shift to a norm of media interactivity would seem to position the fan as the new ideal consumer; thus, I examine the extent to which fans are actually rendered ideal and in what ways in order to assess emerging norms of media reception in the Internet era. Drawing on a large archive consisting of websites for sports and speculative media companies; interviews with industry workers who produce content for fans; and film, television, web series, and news representations from 1994-2009 in a form of qualitative big data research—drawing broadly on large bodies of data but with attention to depth and texture—I look critically at how two media industries, speculative media and sports, have understood and constructed a normative idea of audiencing.

    Atavism and Modernity in Time's Portrayal of the Arab World, 2001-2011 A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Mary R. Abowd August 2013 © 2013 Mary R. Abowd. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Atavism and Modernity in Time's Portrayal of the Arab World, 2001-2011 by MARY R. ABOWD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Anne Cooper Professor Emerita of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT ABOWD, MARY R., Ph.D., August 2013, Journalism Atavism and Modernity in Time's Portrayal of the Arab World, 2001-2011 Director of Dissertation: Anne Cooper This study builds on research that has documented the persistence of negative stereotypes of Arabs and the Arab world in the U.S. media during more than a century. The specific focus is Time magazine’s portrayal of Arabs and their societies between 2001 and 2011, a period that includes the September 11, 2001, attacks; the ensuing U.S.- led “war on terror;” and the mass “Arab Spring” uprisings that spread across the Arab world beginning in late 2010. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study explores whether and to what extent Time’s coverage employs what Said (1978) called Orientalism, a powerful binary between the West and the Orient characterized by a consistent portrayal of the West as superior—rational, ordered, cultured—and the Orient as its opposite—irrational, chaotic, depraved.
