IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

  • Susan Steinberg RE: Pilot Project: Residential Eating Disorders
    Behavioral Health Administration Aliya Jones, M.D., MBA Deputy Secretary Behavioral Health 55 Wade Ave., Dix Bldg., SGHC Catonsville, MD 21228 TO: MABHA FROM: Susan Steinberg RE: Pilot Project: Residential Eating Disorders Program for adults and/or minors Date: June 4, 2021 The Behavioral Health Program is issuing a “Request for Proposals” for Residential Eating Disorders Programs to serve adults and/or minors. Background: Over the past couple of years, BHA has received inquiries from entities seeking to establish a residential eating disorder program for children & adolescents and asked for advice regarding how to license such a program. The possible licensure categories are a residential treatment center (RTC), or a therapeutic group home (TGH). RTCs requires a Certificate of Need, a schooling component and maybe a higher level of care that the program did not want to meet. By statute, a TGH must be owned by a non-profit. Also, there is the question of whether a TGH provides the appropriate level of care. OHCQ has a category called Limited Private Inpatient Facility, but by regulations that is limited to adults. Thus, no category of licensure fits the model of care that these private companies wish to establish in Maryland. BHA regulations state that the Department may exempt a program from licensure requirements if the program is a pilot project and the program demonstrates to the Department that it is subject to contractual provisions, conditions of grant awards, or other requirements that are comparable to the regulations in COMAR 10.63. Therefore, to assist these providers, BHA has established a pilot project for residential eating disorder programs.
