It’s actually quite simple—one ingredient—YOLO! It’s not about how much stuff we’ve accumulated over the years! Nor is it about how powerful or popular we are.

HIS-TORY VERSUS HER-STORY: COMPARING MEDIEVAL AUTHORS’ TALES OF (IN) FAMOUS WOMEN In fourteenth-century Europe, it was common for humanist writers to debate the inherent worth of women by telling stories of good or bad classical and biblical figures to support their arguments. In this class, we will compare the approaches of Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio and French writer Christine de Pizan. Raised at the court of France, Christine was an unusually well-educated woman who had read Boccaccio’s work. After the deaths of her father and her husband, Christine successfully turned to writing—everything from love poetry to treatises on good government to defenses of women—to support her family. Our class will explore briefly the biographies of both writers and then consider their works, noting how and why each writer told very different stories of the lives of celebrated women. Erin A. Sadlack, Ph.D., Associate Professor of English Member: $20 Marywood University Non-member: $40 Monday, May 6 | 6:30-8 p.m.

  • Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation Within Genre Television
    Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation within Genre Television by Courtney Suggs A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media Studies Middle Tennessee State University December 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Katie Foss, Chair Dr. Sanjay Asthana Dr. Sally Ann Cruikshank ABSTRACT Using textual genre analysis, this research studied representation in primetime soap operas Scandal, How To Get Away with Murder, and Empire. Two hundred and eighty- three episodes were viewed to understand how black female identity is represented in primetime soap and how genre influences those representation. Using Collins (2009) theory of controlling images, this study found that black female protagonists were depicted as jezebels and matriarchs. The welfare mother stereotype was updated by portrayals of black woman as hard working. Soap opera conventions such as heavy talk helped provide context to stereotypical portrayals while conventions such as melodrama lead to reactive characterization. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION……………………………………………….….....1 Background……………………………………………………...………........3 CHAPTER II: LITERATURE REVIEW.....................................................................9 Black Women in Scripted Television…...........................................................9 Television Effects on Viewers……………………………………………....14 CHAPTER III: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK………………………………....18 Representation Theory……………………………………………………...18 Genre Theory……………………………………………………………….19

  • EXONERATIONS in 2018 April 9, 2019
    EXONERATIONS IN 2018 April 9, 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. MAJOR THEMES • Years Lost to Wrongful Imprisonment. Last year saw a record number of years lost to prison by defendants exonerated for crimes they did not commit: 1,639 years all told, an average of 10.9 years lost per exoneree. The total number of years lost to exonerees exceeded 20,000 in September 2018 and has since passed 21,000. • The Sergeant Watts Scandal and Drug Exonerations in Chicago. Thirty-one defendants who had been framed by police on drug and weapons charges were exonerated in the wake of a scandal involving corrupt Chicago police officers led by Sergeant Ronald Watts. The scandal prompted a reinvestigation and the exonerations of dozens of defendants. • Official Misconduct. We know official misconduct occurred in at least 107 exonerations in 2018, a record number. Thirty-one of those cases stemmed from the Sergeant Watts scandal in Chicago and all but one of those involved drug crimes. However, official misconduct also occurred in cases with much higher stakes. Fifty- four homicides—79% of homicide exonerations in 2018—were marred by official misconduct. • The Importance of Professional Exonerators. Professional exonerators—Innocence Organizations (IOs) and Conviction Integrity Units (CIUs) continue to play an important role in securing exonerations. IOs took part in a record 86 exonerations, up from 70 in 2017, and CIUs helped secure 58 exonerations. IOs and CIUs worked together on a record 45 exonerations in 2018. II. THE CASES The 151 exonerations that occurred in 2018 were distributed as follows: • Crimes Homicide: 68 defendants were exonerated of homicide—66 for murder and 2 for manslaughter.

  • Assembly Passes Bill in Response to Wells Fargo Scandal
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ella Strain (Assemblymember Dababneh) September 5, 2017 (916) 319-2045 Ezrah Chaaban (Senator Dodd) (916) 651-4003 Assembly Passes Bill in Response to Wells Fargo Scandal SACRAMENTO – The state Assembly passed a bill by Senator Bill Dodd (D-Napa) and Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D- Woodland Hills) on Tuesday to protect victims of mass fraud and identity theft. The bill was introduced in response to the Wells Fargo scandal where millions of accounts were fraudulently opened without consent, using consumer’s personal information from existing accounts. This legislation would eliminate the use of forced arbitration clauses in contracts that were fraudulently created by financial institutions, giving victims their day in court. “Allowing victims their day in court allows them to recover and helps prevent more victims by putting an end to illegal business practices,” said Senator Dodd. “The idea that consumers can be blocked from our public courts when their bank commits fraud and identity theft against them is simply un-American. I’ve been the victim of fraud and identity theft myself, so I know how jarring and difficult it can be, but being victimized by your once-trusted financial institution has to be even more disturbing. If our bill were already law, Wells Fargo would have been held publicly accountable years ago, and the fraud could have been prevented from spreading.” “With the most recent news uncovering additional fraudulent accounts opened at Wells Fargo Bank without the knowledge and consent of its customers – bringing the total since 2009 to over 3.5 million accounts – it is now even more important that we bring openness and accountability to this process and allow these customers an ability to find justice in our legal system,” said Assemblymember Dababneh.
