  • The Hyper Individualism of Commodity Feminism
    TRINITY WOMEN’S REVIEW 91 Packing Political Action: The Hyper Individualism of Commodity Feminism Mary Murphy Commodity feminism is often seen as an unpleasant but predictable attempt to tap a market with increasing mainstream presence, and as a phenomenon which exists in isolation from authentic feminist discussion and action. This essay posits that authentic feminism is in fact eroded by commodity feminism, through the latter’s hyper-individualising efects. By exaggerating the power of the individual, commodity feminism turns political action into an internal psychological process. This harms not only feminist movements but the women who occupy them, who may be left feeling increasingly impotent, and therefore more dependent on reclaiming power in a consumer context. “Capitalism can certainly aford to allow women to join an army, allow women to join a police force. Capitalism is certainly intelligent enough to let more women join the government. But to change the whole value system of society, to destroy the concept of motherhood: that is revolutionary.” -Simone de Beauvoir “Dior will donate a percentage of proceeds from each sale of the “We Should All Be Feminists” T-shirts to the Clara Lionel Foundation, a nonproft organization founded By singer and songwriter Rihanna. Price: €612.25” - Saks Fifth Avenue 92 TRINITY WOMEN’S REVIEW Commodity feminism entered the public vernacular thanks to a 1991 Deborah Heath, Sharon L. Smith, and Robert Goldman article.1 It refers to the appropriation of feminist principles and rhetoric by corporate interests in an efort to produce marketable versions of atomised feminism. The writers note that, “rather than fght the legitimacy of feminist discourse,” and how this discourse could impact on their bottom line, advertisers “have attempted to channel key aspects of that discourse into semiotic markers that can be attached to commodity brand names.” When we talk about commodity feminism, we typically consider it a response to the growing penetration of feminist ideals.

    Philip Martin Gallery 2712 S. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90034 philipmartingallery.com 310 559 0100 Philip Martin Gallery Rihanna is ready. First she moved our interview from Thursday to Wednesday. Then from evening to afternoon. When I get word of this latest change, on a slick and humid August day in Los Angeles, I have just enough time to shower and get to the Hotel Bel-Air. Waiting for Rihanna is practically a journalistic genre all its own. That the Barbadian superstar is now running ahead of schedule seems evidence of her new life as global fashion mogul. Only three and a half years have passed since she presented her first Fenty x Puma collection at New York Fashion Week, a vision of gothleisure delivered to a clamoring world (“if the Addams Family went to the gym” was how she put it). At the time, design was something she was trying on; over the following year, Puma’s profits rose by 92 percent. Since then the 31-year-old has done nothing less than upend the beauty and lingerie industries. In 2017 Fenty Beauty introduced 40 shades of foundation in a business where a dozen was the norm—making a reported $100 million in the first 40 days and nearly $600 million in the first year. Dior, CoverGirl, and Revlon quickly followed, establishing a 40-shade standard now known as “the Fenty effect.” (Rihanna upped the ante again this summer with a hydrating foundation in 50 shades, writing on Instagram, “When the foundation takeova ain’t ova!”) In 2018 she unveiled Savage X Fenty, an intimates line available in many sizes and shades of “nude.” (The brand just secured a reported $50 million in new funding.) Now Rihanna is reimagining fashion at the highest levels.

To study CoPs in randomized, placebo-controlled trials, cor- relates of risk (CoRs) are first assessed in vaccine recipients. This analysis does not assess causation, as a CoR may fail to be a CoP. We propose a causal CoP analysis that esti- mates the controlled vaccine efficacy curve across biomarker levels s, CVE(s), equal to one minus the ratio of the controlled-risk curve rC (s) at s and placebo risk, where rC (s) is causal risk if all participants are assigned vaccine and the biomarker is set to s.

Credo di aver sempre saputo di cosa avrei voluto parlare, ma non ho mai pensato di poterlo fare realmente, o almeno che avrei ottenuto un simile risultato. È con piacere che sento di dover ringraziare il mio relatore, il Professor Festa, per avermi trasmesso la passione per la sua materia e per avermi concesso di esprimere tutta la mia creatività. Spero che questo sia solo l’inizio del futuro che ho sempre immaginato per me stesso, e certamente il suo aiuto, e quello del Professor Fei, hanno contribuito a delineare la strada che vorrei percorrere d’ora in avanti. I due anni trascorsi alla Luiss Guido Carli sono stati pieni di emozioni, non avrei mai creduto possibile amare così tanto la vita universitaria. Ricorderò per sempre tutti i bei momenti e l’euforia dopo aver superato gli esami che sembravano insormontabili. Grazie a Ciccio, a Bea, a Davide e ai miei “Amici di Roma” (e di analisi), per tutti i caffè al bar di Viale Romania e per le risate in compagnia.

  • Philanthropy Unbound/Unboxed Philanthropy, Philanthropy 100 Is a List of People, Organizations and Companies Making a Positive Difference in Our World
    Curated by Philanthropy Unbound/Unboxed Philanthropy, Philanthropy 100 is a list of people, organizations and companies making a positive difference in our world. It is broken into four categories – Individuals, Nonprofit Organizations, Foundations and Corporations. Some on the list may challenge your assumptions on philanthropy. It is more than just financial contributions – it is love of humankind, and the desire to promote the welfare of others. This list highlights those who represent this in multiple ways - from dedicating a professional career and nurturing inclusive nextgen leadership, to thinking of creative ways to make substantial investments in social justice and civil rights reform. The corporations, foundations, organizations, and individuals listed represent different entry points into philanthropy that work together to produce a collective impact. FOUNDATIONS Annie E. Casey Foundation 1 FOUNDATION | aecf.org The Annie E. Casey Foundation, based in Baltimore, is devoted to developing a brighter future for millions of children at risk of poor educational, economic, social and health outcomes. The foundation makes grants that help federal agencies, states, counties, cities and neighborhoods create more innovative, cost-effective responses to the issues that negatively affect children. Recently, the U.S. Children’s Bureau, Casey Family Programs, the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Prevent Child Abuse America partnered to launch a national effort to prove it is possible to fundamentally rethink child welfare by creating the conditions for strong, thriving families where children are free from harm. The initiative, Thriving Families, Safer Children: A National Commitment to Well-Being will work across the public, private and philanthropic sectors to assist jurisdictions in developing more just and equitable systems that benefit all children and families and break harmful intergenerational cycles of trauma and poverty.

Merci et felicitations! (unknown language) I am very happy to be here with you today, deeply honored. Thank you for that kind introduction, Noibe. Andy, it is wonderful to see you again. I am so grateful for the honor you and NYU (New York University) have given to me today. Now, you know – you may not know, but Andrew is an honorary Canadian and British Columbian because, like me, he studied the university of British Columbia back in the day. It makes me proud that Canada was part of Andrew’s formation, just as NYU has helped form so many amazing Canadians, including two members of my own staff. I am actually told that 180 of the NYU class of 2018 are Canadians. Hello, welcome my friends! I have to say to be here now, speaking with all of you – in Yankee Stadium, one of the greatest places in one of the greatest cities on earth is more than a little humbling. My friends, you are now NYU graduates, the best and the brightest. You have great potential and possibilities and therefore, you have enormous responsibility, too. So today, I would like to talk about the nature of both those things and I would like to offer you a challenge.

  • 2018 Annual Report Letter from Founder & Executive Director
    2018 Annual Report Letter From Founder & Executive Director Dear Friends of CLF, When we began this journey in 2012, we couldn’t have imagined where we would be in five years. We are pleased to report that 2017 and 2018 together marked a significant period of growth and innovation for the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We have streamlined our programming to focus on education and emergency response while significantly increasing our impact in each area. We proudly supported students from Central and South America to attend university, successfully installed the final piece of equipment in our state-of-the-art oncology center in Barbados, and responded quickly to the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti as well as hurricanes Irma, Harvey and Maria. We also deepened our education work by extending programs from the Caribbean to Malawi to enable thousands of girls to attend secondary school. We firmly believe in the power of having local impact, taking care to tailor our approach to address the unique needs of the communities in which we work, but we also work strategically to address issues and challenges at a global level. In 2017, we joined forces with Global Citizen and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) to advocate for and unlock hundreds of millions of dollars to support access to education for children across the globe. Our work in the advocacy space will continue to be a priority for the foundation in 2019 and beyond. The diversity and scale of our brand collaborations over the past year are setting new standards for what’s possible when business and philanthropy come together to enact change.
