Roles of Music Making in the Lives of Sexual and Gender Minority Youth by Erin M Roles of Music Making in the Lives of Sexual and Gender Minority Youth by Erin M. Hansen A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music Education) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Colleen M. Conway, Chair Associate Professor Naomi André Associate Professor Kate Fitzpatrick Professor Marie McCarthy Lecturer Terence McGinn © Erin M. Hansen 2016 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My professors at the University of Michigan regularly likened research to a process and a journey. As I complete this project, I am reminded of their words and want to pay thanks to those who have travelled alongside me. First, to my committee chair and mentor, Dr. Colleen Conway: I cannot thank you enough for your guidance and support. You have been a constant source of encouragement from my undergraduate student teaching placement, through the ups and downs of public school teaching, to the last-minute read-throughs of dissertation chapters – I am incredibly grateful for your mentorship. I also want to thank my committee members for their insightful suggestions and thought- provoking questions: Dr. Colleen Conway, Dr. Kate Fitzpatrick, Dr. Marie McCarthy, Dr. Naomi André, and Professor Terence McGinn. To my professors at the University of Michigan, Dr. Mark Clague, Professor Anthony Elliott, Dr. Colleen Conway, Professor Robert Culver, Dr. Kate Fitzpatrick, Dr. Michael Hopkins, Dr. Marie McCarthy, Dr. Carlos Rodriguez, Dr. Julie Skadsem, and Dr. Betty Anne Younker: thank you for your time, energy, and expertise. There are so many colleagues and friends who helped me laugh, kept me sane, challenged my thoughts, and helped make this journey possible. Thank you, Kristi Bishop, Carol Palms, David Bertman, Julie Kastner, Robert Mayes, David White, Ben and Brooke Allen, Scott and Stephanie Edgar, John Eros, Lisa Furman, Shannan Hibbard, Ryan Hourigan, Andy McGuire, Michael and Sarah Palmer, Kristen Pellegrino, Christine Sherrod, Ann Marie Stanley, and Chad and Amy West. I want to say a special “thank you” to my participants, without whom this would not be possible: Andres, Emily, Katie, Matt, and Sam. To my family, I love you all, so much. To my Mom, thank you for being my cheerleader, advocate, and constant grammar monitor. To my Dad, thank you for supporting me and editing all of my papers – you have been my greatest writing mentor. To Lauren, thank you for your support, laughter, and musical collaborations. To my grandparents, thank you for teaching me the value of hard work, inspiring the love of teaching, and providing a quiet place to write. To ii Uncle Mark and Jenny, thank you for the bad jokes, good food, and laughter. To Shari, thank you for being my family away from home. Lastly, I especially want to express my love and gratitude to Alicia, Aidan, Meredith, and our furry family members. To my kitty and hedgehog children, thank you for the snuggles, typos, and purrs; more scritches are soon to come your way. To Meredith, thank you for always being there to give me a hug and for the drawings of encouragement - I cannot wait to have more time to play with you! To Aidan, thank you for helping out at home and for knowing just when I needed a funny meme to brighten my day. And finally, to Alicia, thank you for all of your support. I cannot begin to express how much it meant to me when you stayed awake (almost) with me in solidarity; proof read my writing; encouraged me to write; took care of the kids, cats, and home; drove me to work after long nights of writing; and cheered me on. I love you. P.S. I am sorry for finishing the Torchy’s chips and salsa…twice. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ii LIST OF TABLES vi LIST OF FIGURES vii LIST OF APPENDICES viii GLOSSARY ix ABSTRACT xiii CHAPTER I.

As is often the case for new fields of study, terminology is inconsistent. Coupled with the rapidly changing political and legal landscape for LGBTQ people around the world, the language used to discuss this population is wrought with confusion, disagreement, and a general fear of discourse. In discussing marginalized populations, Carter (2014) says: “I recognize the inherent problems associated with established social categories yet acknowledge the relevance of utilizing the categories to begin the process of examining our complex Western social ecology” (p. 538). For the purposes of clarification, I will define expressions and terms used throughout this study with the acknowledgement that these terms will change or may not be consistent with other areas of research. Unless noted, all definitions will be gathered from the Media Reference Guide (2014) provided by GLAAD1. The Media Reference Guide was created for members of the media for the purpose of providing an online guide of appropriate terminology to use when discussing matters pertaining to the gay and transgender community. Asexual2 – The lack of a sexual attraction or desire for other people. Biphobia – Fear of bisexuals, often based on stereotypes, including inaccurate associations with infidelity, promiscuity, and transmission of sexually transmitted dises. Bisexual, Bi - A person who has the capacity to form enduring physical, romantic and/or emotional attractions to those of the same gender or to those of another gender. People may experience this attraction in differing ways and degrees over their lifetime. Bisexual people need not have had specific sexual experiences to be bisexual; in fact, they need not have had any sexual experience at all to identify as bisexual. Cisgender - A term used by some to describe people who are not transgender. “Cis-” is a Latin prefix meaning “on the same side as,” and is therefore an antonym of “trans-.” A more widely understood way to describe people who are not transgender is simply to say non- transgender people.

  • ALL MY SONS a Play in Three Acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller
    ALL MY SONS a play in three acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller (Keller) Kate Keller (Mother) Chris Keller Ann Deever George Deever Dr. Jim Bayliss (Jim) Sue Bayliss Frank Lubey Lydia Lubey Bert Act One The back yard of the Keller home in the outskirts of an American town. August of our era. The stage is hedged on right and left by tall, closely planted poplars which lend the yard a secluded atmosphere. Upstage is filled with the back of the house and its open, unroofed porch which extends into the yard some six feet. The house is two stories high and has seven rooms. It would have cost perhaps fifteen thousand in the early twenties when it was built. Now it is nicely painted, looks tight and comfortable, and the yard is green with sod, here and there plants whose season is gone. At the right, beside the house, the entrance of the driveway can be seen, but the poplars cut off view of its continuation downstage. In the left corner, downstage, stands the four‐foot‐high stump of a slender apple tree whose upper trunk and branches lie toppled beside it, fruit still clinging to its branches. Downstage right is a small, trellised arbor, shaped like a sea shell, with a decorative bulb hanging from its forward‐curving roof. Carden chairs and a table are scattered about. A garbage pail on the ground next to the porch steps, a wire leaf‐burner near it. On the rise: It is early Sunday morning. Joe Keller is sitting in the sun reading the want ads of the Sunday paper, the other sections of which lie neatly on the ground beside him.

Your world is a colorless landscape. Now imagine you look across that river. On the other side is everything that you feel familiar with, The people you know, The things you hold dear. But is it really so familiar, If it’s all in color? That’s the only difference between this world and that. It matters not which colors you imagine, Simply imagine the colors that appeal to you.

  • An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method/James Paul Gee
    An Introduction to Discourse Analysis “If you only read one book on discourse analysis, this is the one to read. If you’re a specialist, you’ll find much to enjoy here as well. Gee’s book shows us that discourse analysis is about a lot more than linguistic study; it will help us all to see how to keep from, as he says, ‘getting physically, socially, culturally, or morally “bitten” by the world’.” Ron Scollon, Georgetown University, USA James Paul Gee presents here his unique, integrated approach to discourse analysis: the analysis of spoken and written language as it is used to enact social and cultural perspectives and identities. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, James Paul Gee presents both a theory of language-in-use, as well as a method of research. This method is made up of a set of “tools of inquiry” and strategies for using them. Clearly structured and written in a highly accessible style, the book presents these tools of inquiry alongside the theory of language-in-use. They are then placed in the framework of an overall approach to discourse analysis. Finally, an extended example of discourse analysis is presented using some of the tools and strategies developed earlier in the book. Perspectives from a variety of approaches and disciplines – including applied linguistics, education, psychology, anthropology, and communication – are incorporated to help students and scholars from a range of backgrounds formulate their own views on discourse and engage in their own discourse analyses. James Paul Gee is the Tashia Morgridge Professor of Reading at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

It’s a venerable the- ater company that has been around for years, not very big, nowhere near Broadway, tucked in a corner on one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in New York: an urban paradise. It would seem wrong if anything other than a theater company were in this location. After everything is gone, this place feels like it will still be here, waiting for an audience.

    Research Study of the Lived Experience of Alopecia Areata for Women During Early Adulthood A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Heather Bemmels IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor – Pat McCarthy Veach, Ph.D. June 2017 © Heather Bemmels 2017 i Acknowledgements This author is grateful to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, the Minnesota Alopecia Support Group, and the University of Minnesota Department of Dermatology for their assistance with recruitment. ii Abstract Objectives: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune condition that causes baldness in men and women; however, it may be especially distressing for women given social standards and expectations for beauty. This sporadic condition can present with various extents of hair loss that unexpectedly relapse or remit across time. The present phenomenological study aimed to describe the lived experiences of early adult women with AA who developed it in pre-adolescence or adolescence, to provide greater understanding of the experience of having AA over time. Method: The present study is guided by phenomenological methods, including interpretive phenomenological analysis. Following in-depth, semi-structured interviews with six female participants ages 27-36 with current, active AA, who developed their AA between ages 10-16, data were transcribed and analyzed at an individual and general (i.e., cross case) level for themes. Results: Responses to initial awareness of AA or increasing hair loss were not uniform, with participants’ psychological experiences ranging from not being bothered to life- altering and devastating. Physical sensations and visual reminders of increased hair loss can pull participants out of their everyday experiences, with possible helplessness regarding inability to stop the loss.
