  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

  • Yarrow Man out I-Xxii 1-312.Indd
    CHAPTER 1 American Men on the Sidelines The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. — Henry David Thoreau, “Economy” No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble. — Tupac Shakur, “Thugz Mansion” Twenty to twenty- five million men— the population of Florida or Texas— are on the sidelines of American life.1 They have the same Y chromosomes as the men you see at work, the men who play with their children, go out with their wives or partners, are involved in their communities, and earn a living to save for their children’s education and their families’ retirement. But these “men out” are doing few if any of these things. They are still counted by the U.S. Census, but for all practical purposes they are absent from much of mainstream life. What they do doesn’t register in either the gross domestic product (GDP) or in the glimmer of a child’s eye. They aren’t engaged in their communities or country. Viscerally, we know these sidelined men are out there. But they don’t fit old stereotypes of failure. We haven’t been able to name them or come to grips with who they are. We haven’t identified the problem or its dimensions. Why is this happening? What can we do? We see separate problems like white men who aren’t working, who are angry, whose education ended long before 1 2 Man Out a bachelor’s degree. We see black men whose lives don’t seem to matter.

  • Blockchain Practices, Potentials, and Perspectives in Greening Supply Chains
    sustainability Article Blockchain Practices, Potentials, and Perspectives in Greening Supply Chains Mahtab Kouhizadeh and Joseph Sarkis * Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Robert A. Foisie School of Business, 100 Institute Road, Worcester, MA 01609, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 September 2018; Accepted: 4 October 2018; Published: 12 October 2018 Abstract: Blockchain technology is an inchoate technology whose current popularity is peaking. Some of the most pervasive blockchain technology use cases exist for supply chains. Sustainable, and especially green, supply chains can benefit from blockchain technology, but there are also caveats. The sustainability and environmental management research and academic literature is only starting to investigate this emergent field. This paper seeks to help advance the discussion and motivate additional practice and research related to green supply chains and blockchain technology. This viewpoint paper provides insight into some of the main dimensions of blockchain technology, an overview of the use cases and issues, and some general research areas for further investigation. Keywords: blockchain; supply chain; green supply chain; use cases; applications 1. Introduction Technological advancements have caused a revisiting of sustainability practices. According to ecological modernization theory, technology can help decouple environmental degradation from economic growth [1]. In some cases, technology can benefit both dimensions. As the triple-bottom-line sustainability definition includes social dimensions, whether technology can contribute to all dimensions of sustainability is unclear. Advances in technology are broad-based and include a variety of production, information, and social technologies. These technologies include current and future developments in such disparate, but possibly interrelated, areas such as additive manufacturing, micro-factories, nanotechnology, Internet of Things (IoT), self-driving vehicles, sharing economies, and blockchain technology [2].

  • ('Gang-Stalking'): a Content Analysis of Subjective Experiences
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article The Phenomenology of Group Stalking (‘Gang-Stalking’): A Content Analysis of Subjective Experiences Lorraine Sheridan 1,* , David V. James 2 and Jayden Roth 1 1 School of Psychology, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6102, Australia; [email protected] 2 Theseus Risk, Cavalier Court, Cheltenham SN14 6LH, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 March 2020; Accepted: 3 April 2020; Published: 6 April 2020 Abstract: Epidemiological data suggest that as many as 0.66% of adult women and 0.17% of adult men in the western world may suffer the subjective experience of being group-stalked (‘gang stalked’) at some point in their lives. Yet the gang stalking experience has been subject to little scientific study. This paper reports an attempt to elicit the core phenomena involved in gang-stalking by allowing them to emerge de novo through the qualitative analysis of accounts of individuals who describe being gang-stalked. Fifty descriptions of gang-stalking that satisfied study inclusion criteria were identified from the internet and subjected to content analysis. Twenty-four core phenomena were elicited, together with 11 principal sequelae of the experience of being gang-stalked. These were then divided into groups, producing a framework for the phenomena of the gang-stalking experience. The results were compared with frequencies of the same categories of experience then extracted from the original data of the only previous study on gang-stalking phenomena. Whilst the methodology of the current study was more rigorous, the core phenomena were similar in each.

  • Women in Pants: a Study of Female College Students Adoption Of
    WOMEN IN PANTS: A STUDY OF FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS ADOPTION OF BIFURCATED GARMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA FROM 1960 TO 1974 by CANDICE NICHOLE LURKER SAULS Under the direction of Patricia Hunt-Hurst ABSTRACT This research presented new information regarding the adoption of bifurcated garments by female students at the University of Georgia from1960 to 1974. The primary objectives were to examine photographs of female students at the University of Georgia in The Pandora yearbooks as well as to review written references alluding to university female dress codes as well as regulations and guidelines. The photographs revealed that prior to 1968 women at UGA wore bifurcated garments for private activities taking place in dorms or at sorority houses away from UGA property. The study also showed an increase in frequency from 1968 to 1974 due to the abolishment of the dress code regulations. In reference to the specific bifurcated garments worn by female students, the findings indicated the dominance of long pants. This study offers a sample of the changes in women’s dress during the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, which then showed more specifically how college women dressed in their daily lives across America.

  • Abstract One Love: Collective Consciousness in Rap and Poetry
    Abstract One Love: Collective Consciousness in Rap and Poetry of the Hip-Hop Generation by Austin Harold Hart April, 2012 Thesis Director: John Hoppenthaler Major Department: English (Literature and Poetry) This study aims to offer an understanding of hip-hop culture through which three concepts are elucidated: (1) the existence and dimensions of a collective consciousness within rap and poetry of the hip-hop generation (Allison Joseph, A. Van Jordan, Terrance Hayes, Major Jackson, Taylor Mali, and Kevin Coval); (2) a poetics of rap—to parallel the influence seen/suggested among the selected poets; and (3) an analysis of the manner(s) in which the poetry of these more serious, academic artists reflects an influence of hip-hop culture. My thesis suggests that these poets are indeed influenced by the culture in which they grew up, and in their verse, this influence can be seen through linguistic playfulness, sonic density, layered meaning and usage through form and content, and the connection to a larger cultural, collective consciousness fed by specific social bodies. Poetic analysis, as well as studies of vernacular and oral traditions, has allowed me to explore these concepts and theories from a wider spectrum, and with regard to the work of the poets, an original perspective. Providing a deeper understanding of artists, their identities, places, and dreams within their work, this study begins to offer some insight into notions of the ways in which individuals might participate in cultural conservation.
