  • Carol Jago's Suggestions for Your Classroom Library
    Carol Jago’s Suggestions for Your Classroom Library Welcome to my list of suggestions for your classroom library. It is not meant in any way to be a perfect list. Only you know what titles will be most appealing to your students and which books might be problematic in your school community. I have compiled here a list of books that I believe can open up the world to middle and high school readers. Some of these stories include scenes of violence and/or language that might offend. That said, I have read every one of these books and believe the scenes and language contribute importantly to the authors' intent and message. Thanks for all you do to bring books into your students’ lives. Reading helps us be more fully human.

  • The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults
    The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults Volume 6: August 2015 www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya Adolescent Females and the Graphic Novel: A Content Analysis Emily Simmons, ELA Teacher, Hernando Middle School Abstract Numerous studies of adolescent reading preferences have found that fewer females than males are drawn to reading graphic novels. Why? Adolescent readers are diverse in gender and race/ethnicity as well as the disabilities they represent. Do main characters in graphic novels reflect that diversity? Has representation changed over time? Using a content analysis approach, this study examined the main characters in a set of recommended popular graphic novels for teens to determine the percentage of female protagonists and how that percentage has changed over a seven-year period. Additionally, the race/ethnicity and any disabilities of the female main characters were analyzed. The 70 recommended graphic novels and illustrated nonfiction for teens ages 12 to 18 used for the study were found on YALSA’s “Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens” lists from 2007 through 2013. Female main characters were found in 46% of the titles, with 24% of these titles having only female main characters while 22% had both female and male main characters; the female main characters represented three of five race categories identified by the U.S. Census Bureau and four of the fourteen disability classifications identified by IDEA. Introduction Enticing adolescents to read has been and remains today a core objective for librarians, educators, and parents. At any age, reading preferences reflect reading interests; therefore, it is essential for libraries and schools to provide a varied collection of books to meet a myriad of interests.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

Maelstrom; or, Life After the Woods: Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Gambler” Otto Neubauer LIT 4010: Science Fiction March 31, 2011 Much of contemporary space-based science fiction tends to ignore nature completely, with food replicators and life support systems eliminating the need for plants as anything but decoration. In contrast, Earth-based science fiction stories often center on a conflict between man and nature. Yet though the primary themes in Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Gambler”, Bruce Sterling’s “We See Things Differently”, and Harlan Ellison’s “‘Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” are political (with “The Gambler” being a critical portrayal of the fourth estate), each offers a small window into how man ought or ought not to relate to nature.

W A S T E L A N D S S T O R I E S O F T H E A P O C A L Y P S E SCHEDULED FOR A JANUARY 1, 2008 RELEASE Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are said to be the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse— Armageddon, The End of The World. In science fiction, the end of the world is usually triggered by more specific means: nuclear warfare, biological disaster (or warfare), ecological/geological disaster, or cosmological disaster. But in the wake of any great cataclysm, there are survivors—and post-apocalyptic science fiction speculates what life would be like for them. WASTELANDS (Night Shade Books trade paperback; January 1, 2008; $15.95) gathers 22 of the finest works of post-apocalyptic fiction ever written, including fiction from the likes of Stephen King, George R. R. Martin, Jonathan Lethem, Orson Scott Card, Gene Wolfe, Octavia E. Butler, and many others. Post-apocalyptic SF first rose to prominence in the aftermath World War II—no doubt due in large part to the world having witnessed the devastating destructive power of the atomic bomb—and reached the height of its popularity during Cold War, when the threat of worldwide nuclear annihilation seemed a very real possibility. So why the resurgence in popularity now? Is it because the political climate now is reminiscent of the climate during the Cold War? During times of war and global unease, is it that much easier to imagine a depopulated world, a world destroyed by humanity's own hand? In WASTELANDS , you will find 22 different science fictional apocalyptic scenarios.

  • Introduction Imagining the Future of Climate Change
    Introduction Imagining the Future of Climate Change In Bong Joon-Ho’s 2013 international blockbuster Snowpiercer, a single train traverses the globe, protecting the fi nal remnant of humanity from an Ice Age that made the planet seemingly unin- habitable. Set in 2031, the fi lm begins by squarely placing the blame on humans for this catastrophic climate change. As the opening credits roll over dark, starry space, we hear crackling, fuzzy excerpts of news broadcasts from all over the world telling how, despite protests from environmental groups and “developing coun- tries,” on 1 July 2014, seventy countries dispersed the artifi cial cool- ing substance CW-7 into the upper layers of the atmosphere. Because “global warming can no longer be ignored,” one of the dis- embodied voices explains, seeding the skies with CW-7 was a last- ditch eff ort “to bring average global temperatures down to man- ageable levels as a revolutionary solution to mankind’s warming of the planet.” But before the real action of the fi lm even starts, we learn the grim outcome of this desperate international scientifi c experiment. Two short sentences loom large on the screen: “Soon after dispersing CW-7 the world froze. All life became extinct.” 1 2 / Introduction In imagining a geo-engineering experiment gone wrong in response to the disaster of global warming, Bong is asking us to think critically about the solution to the problem of climate change that is favored by many people, states, and corporations invested in fi nding alternatives to curbing carbon emissions.1 In addition, since the mid-2000s, some prominent scientists, such as Dutch Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric chemist Paul Crut- zen, have also advocated exploring geo-engineering out of fears that states will not take the necessary actions to curb global warming in time and that we are on the brink of locking in dys- topian climate change that will render unsustainable life on Earth as we know it.
