UNH News: Journalist Kate Bolick Visits UNH Oct. 1 Page 1 of 2 Media Relations Sept. 19, 2012 Journalist Kate Bolick Visits UNH Oct. 1 DURHAM, N.H. – When Kate Bolick wrote in The Atlantic Kate Bolick about why women are choosing to delay marriage, she didn’t know that her cover story “All The Single Ladies” ­­ a blend of personal reflection and reporting – would provoke so much discussion on national news talk shows, lead to a book contract, and develop into a CBS sitcom. The University of New Hampshire Writers Series welcomes Bolick, the 2012 Hyde Hibberd Visiting Writer, who will discuss blending the personal with the public in her talk “Personal Journalism: Locating Yourself in the World” Monday, Oct. 1, 2012. The event takes place at 5 p.m. in the Memorial Union Building, Theatre I. It is free and open to the public. Thanks to the generosity of the Hibberd family, each year the UNH Master of Fine Arts in Writing program invites a writer to campus to talk to graduate students, visit classes, and conduct a public talk. Bolick’s literary credentials extend far beyond The Atlantic cover story. A writer equally adept at reflecting on her own life and experiences as she is interviewing others about their lives and experiences, Bolick has earned a reputation as both a journalist and an essayist whose narratives reach beyond the intimate and embrace larger, universal issues. Her work appears regularly in Elle, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Slate, among other publications. A contributing editor for The Atlantic, she was culture editor of Veranda, executive editor of Domino, and a columnist for The Boston Globe Ideas section. Bolick has appeared on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, The Gayle King Show, and numerous NPR programs across the country. She lives in New York City. Bolick is a recipient of a MacDowell fellowship and she holds a master’s degree in cultural criticism from New York University, where she has also taught writing. She is working on her first book, “Among the Suitors: Single Women I Have Loved” (Crown/Random House), in which she mixes autobiography and literary portraiture to question the conventional marriage trajectory.

Degree awarded June 2014. ii © 2014 Chelsea Bullock iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Chelsea Bullock Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2014 Title: Everyday Intimacies: The Politics of Respectability in Post-Recessionary Southern Reality Television Rather than taking a broad genre-based approach to analyzing reality television as digital media, this dissertation understands the field of reality programming as operating within a new media model and as composed of micro-genres. My project specifically explores the “intimate” micro-genre, considering the politics of respectability and gendered labor as foundational elements in what is a particularly fertile and volatile site of meaning- making. Grounding my analysis in a comprehensive map of reality programming allows me to explore a pattern of politically rich programs set in the South. Shows such as Duck Dynasty, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and Real Housewives of Atlanta offer insight into the circulation and currency of race, class, and gender with significant theoretical implications for an economically and politically unstable national moment.

Ressler* "So sue me!" Scholars continue to propose and write extensively about innovative laws to protect recipients of ever-evolvingforms of sexual misconduct. The #MeToo movement makes this scholarship more imperative than ever. The majority of scholarsfocus their attention on (i) substantive laws to prevent andpunish sexual misconduct; and (ii) the failureoftraditionalprivacy laws to address modern assaults on sexual privacy. This Article adds a new perspective to-and fills a gap in-the conversation. It focuses on the inadequacy of the processes by which recipients of sexual misconduct have access to these laws. Given the pervasive reluctance of many sexual misconduct recipients to come forward, this is an essential missing link in the sexual misconduct literature.

From award-winning author Paulina Bren comes the first history of New York’s most famous residential hotel—The Barbizon—and the remarkable women who lived there. The Barbizon tells the story of New York’s most glamorous women-only hotel, and the women—both famous and ordinary—who passed through its doors. World War I had liberated women from home and hearth, setting them on the path to political enfranchisement and gainful employment. Arriving in New York to work in the dazzling new skyscrapers, they did not want to stay in uncomfortable boarding houses; they wanted what men already had—exclusive residential hotels that catered to their needs, with daily maid service, cultural programs, workout rooms, and private dining.
