  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • SUMMER 2002 SUMMER 2002 DIRECTORS’ PREVIEW Greetings!!
    VOLUME THREE “FROM OUR CAMPUS ON THE HILLSIDE..” SUMMER 2002 SUMMER 2002 DIRECTORS’ PREVIEW Greetings!! As of this writing we are well into the 2002 season. This year has been a great success and was certainly highlighted by the return of Steve "Toots" Toltz. In addition a partial return of another former Sophomore Group Leader, Dave "Lips" Lipof rounds out the complete takeover of Camp Bauercrest by "The Sophomores"! On a more serious note, it is great to have both of them back in one capacity or another. Their skill, dedication and (most importantly) love of the Camp are another reason why this year promises to be something special. We are also graced by the return of Tim Vanier as Head Counselor, Brian Miller as Water front Director, and several Group Leaders. This years Group Leaders are: Seniors, Jeff Newman, Junior A, Andy Nechtem, Junior B, Josh Michaelson, Sophomore A, Jeff Gordon, Sophomore B, Dan Gold and Freshmen, Sam Mathias. This years Group Leaders bring a lot of experi- ence and loyalty to the Camp. We have a lot of returning campers who are coming back for at least their second summer. We also have a lot of counselors returning for in some cases their thirteenth year at the Crest. Our Board of Directors led by Mark Smoller have really been working hard on a voluntary basis to ensure 2002 is a success. We have a lot of neat activities lined up as well as some new things we haven't ever done. I recommend that all Alumni plan to take a trip to the Crest to observe us in action.

  • Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture
    Straddling (In)Visibility: Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture Sasha Cocarla A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy in Women's Studies Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Sasha Cocarla, Ottawa, Canada 2016 Abstract Throughout the first decade of the 2000s, LGBTQ+ visibility has steadily increased in North American popular culture, allowing for not only more LGBTQ+ characters/figures to surface, but also establishing more diverse and nuanced representations and storylines. Bisexuality, while being part of the increasingly popular phrase of inclusivity (LGBTQ+), however, is one sexuality that not only continues to be overlooked within popular culture but that also continues to be represented in limited ways. In this doctoral thesis I examine how bisexual women are represented within mainstream popular culture, in particular on American television, focusing on two, popular programs (The L Word and the Shot At Love series). These texts have been chosen for popularity and visibility in mainstream media and culture, as well as for how bisexual women are unprecedentedly made central to many of the storylines (The L Word) and the series as a whole (Shot At Love). This analysis provides not only a detailed historical account of bisexual visibility but also discusses bisexuality thematically, highlighting commonalities across bisexual representations as well as shared themes between and with other identities. By examining key examples of bisexuality in popular culture from the first decade of the twenty- first century, my research investigates how representations of bisexuality are often portrayed in conversation with hegemonic understandings of gender and sexuality, specifically highlighting the mainstream "gay rights" movement's narrative of "normality" and "just like you" politics.
