Harad, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August, 2003 Acknowledgements This project had its genesis in the stories I heard in the halls of Intermountain Psychiatric Hospital from 1993-1995. The people I met there were the first to show me the everyday nature of trauma. They also taught me to always respect what seem to be delays, detours and failures. During my time at the University of Texas, the brains and hearts of my colleagues have dazzled and comforted me. In particular I would like to thank my first partner in the study of testimony and autobiography and dear friend, Traci Freeman; the members of my first dissertation group, Jennifer Mason, Paige Schilt, and Sandy Soto; and my later dissertation group members, especially my fellow mystic, Jonathan Ayres and the fabulous Chris Strickling, who not only read my drafts and challenged me always to be better and clearer, but who has been my stalwart friend and partner in stretching the narrower bounds of graduate school. Julie Sievers leant me her sharp attention at several crucial moments in the project’s final stages.

  • Animal Abuse As a Sentinel for Human Violence: a Critique ∗ Emily G
    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 65, No. 3, 2009, pp. 589--614 Animal Abuse as a Sentinel for Human Violence: A Critique ∗ Emily G. Patterson-Kane American Veterinary Medical Association Heather Piper Manchester Metropolitan University It has been suggested that acts of violence against human and nonhuman an- imals share commonalities, and that animal abuse is a sentinel for current or future violence toward people. The popular and professional acceptance of strong connections between types of violence is beginning to be used to justify social work interventions and to influence legal decision making, and so requires greater scrutiny. Examination of the limited pool of empirical data suggests that animal abuse is relatively common among men, with violent offenders having an increased probability of reporting prior animal abuse—with the majority of violent offend- ers not reporting any animal abuse. Causal explanations for “the link,” such as empathy impairment or conduct disorder, suffer from a lack of validating research and, based on research into interhuman violence, the assumption that violence has a predominant, single underlying cause must be questioned. An (over)emphasis on the danger that animal abusers pose to humans serves to assist in achieving a consensus that animal abuse is a serious issue, but potentially at the cost of failing to focus on the most common types of abuse, and the most effective strategies for reducing its occurrence. Nothing in this review and discussion should be taken as minimizing the importance of animals as frequent victims of violence, or the co-occurrence of abuse types in “at-risk” households.

  • Do the Upfronts Still Matter? by Steve Sternberg
    May 2021 #107 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Do the Upfronts Still Matter? By Steve Sternberg For American television viewers, the start of the new primetime network television season is still four months away. For insiders at media agencies, networks, and advertisers (as well as television analysts like me), the upfront season has placed thoughts of September squarely into May and June. The major media companies just announced their respective fall TV schedules in a series of presentations to the advertising industry. This marks the start of the “upfront,” when advertisers spend upward of $20 billion buying commercial time on national television programs scheduled to air during the next broadcast year (September-August). The once highly anticipated “upfront week” has become a much more subdued affair. Because of the pandemic, this is the second year in a row of virtual presentations, which simply don’t have the same cachet as live events at Radio City, Carnegie Hall, or Lincoln Center, and the subsequent celebrity- filled after-parties. There also used to be a fair amount of anticipation among the general public. After the upfront schedule announcements, pundits would proliferate on syndicated entertainment magazine shows, and in print magazines, and newspapers, throughout the summer talking about the new fall TV shows. Online chatter and buzz would ensue. There used to be little else happening in A Sternberg Report Sponsored Message If you can see this, so can thousands of other advertising and media professionals and decision makers.
