Interviewer) and Minneapolis, Minnesota (Interviewee Interview with Zander Tsadwa #2 (Zander, an American) Henry Bump, Interviewer May 3rd, 2021 St Paul, Minnesota (interviewer) and Minneapolis, Minnesota (interviewee) Conducted via Zoom Henry Bump (00:00:00): All right. Sweet. Okay. Um, today is May 3rd, 2021. It's what 5:16. I'm here with Zander Tsadwa for our second conversation. Um, it's going to be great. We're going to talk about some more community-based things today. And I figured to start the question off, um, I mean, to start the interview off, I can start the questions. So Zander, what part of St. Paul are you from? Zander Tsadwa (00:00:26): I am from most accurately and from the north end, so more at five. Um, compared to most of my friends, I lived east, but it's not quite the east side. So it's, uh, it's a bit ambiguous, you know, it's not quite as defined as like the east side or like Macalester Groveland or Highland or even, uh, like south St Paul or whatever. But, but yeah, uh, from north St Paul, I guess is what you, what say. Henry Bump (00:01:02): Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. So from north St. Paul, but now where are you currently at? Zander Tsadwa (00:01:10): 1 Currently based in north Minneapolis? Uh, I feel like I just stay in the Northern parts of places. So like even, um, where my parents are from which I'm sure you'll ask a little more about later, but they're from the Northern part of Ethiopia. Tigray so that's the funny question is I'm always, I'm always in the Northern parts of places. Um, even in Tucson, I was the Tucson I was in like north Tucson. So. Henry Bump (00:01:33): Is that Northern Arizona too, or no? Zander Tsadwa (00:01:35): Uh, no that that's not, not Tucson is actually a border town, so, um, that's the, I guess that's the only inconsistency, but yeah. Yeah, I guess I just like to stay up north. Yeah. Henry Bump (00:01:47): So what made you go from St. Paul to Minneapolis? Are you, are your parents still in St. Paul ? Zander Tsadwa (00:01:54): My parents are now in Atlanta, I guess the Metro area, thankfully. Um, yeah, so I was actually, I was born in Sioux falls, South Dakota, and that's like a really wild part about my backstory, but also kind of explain stuff for me. Um, but I was there until I was eight. It was kind of like a blank slate for me because everyone was white and everyone was like just Midwestern and like close to home. And yeah, so I didn't, I didn't understand my differences right away. I had no other reference points. It was like, it was me, my sister, and then just like, oh, just people from Sioux falls. So, and then I moved to St. Paul when I was eight and I spent the rest of my childhood there. So like I grew up in St. Paul, most of my formative years are from same, are in St. Paul. Um, that's kind of where I became like aware to the world. Right. 2 Like my own person. Um, I went college in St. Paul, so another, uh, good enough their four years and then moved to Tucson. Zander Tsadwa (00:03:07): Yeah. Went to Tucson in 2017. So my then girlfriend now fiance, um, she got a really good offer to go to the University of Arizona to get a PhD. Um, yeah. And then in the meantime, it's like, cool. Like, you'll be connected, like deeply connected to University. I can write and share like my equity work and my music, whatever, just college kids, you know, the wild cats and all that. Um, so yeah, Tucson for three years and then came back up here. Um, with, again, my, my, my, my girl got an offer to work at the U of M and then me personally at like, I think we both wanted to come back for the sense of community and I knew it would be better for my like creative endeavors to just having community. It was, I found that difficult to, to really create it Tucson, uh, making friends as an adult is hard, but I don't know. Zander Tsadwa (00:04:13): Um, yeah, that's what took, that's what took me back here. Um, and then Minneapolis, because it was a little easier to, I guess, find a, find a little place for us to rent and St. Paul was an option, but, but yeah, I don't know. I feel like it's almost like a glow up, like people. Henry Bump (00:04:31): Yeah, yeah. People who come up then once they got it, they go to Minneapolis. Zander Tsadwa (00:04:37): Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's uh, and it's funny because it's not that St Paul isn't livable. It's actually, I think a really beautiful city, but like when you're young trying to do something, I feel like there's, there's just 3 more happening in Minneapolis. Um, obviously more people more companies are based here. Um, yeah, it's, it's different. So I Henry Bump (00:05:03): I remember when I came here and I went on my visit, people were telling me, they were like, you know, you marry St. Paul, but you date Minneapolis. Right. Like Minneapolis is where people, all the fun and light like limelight and stuff is whereas St. Paul is like your nice little neighborhood to settle down and Zander Tsadwa (00:05:18): Yes, yes. Henry Bump (00:05:21): So you talk about South Dakota, Arizona, and Minnesota. And you've gone from like, all these places. Are the twin cities, like the most influential that you would say on your music or Zander Tsadwa (00:05:32): Absolutely Yeah. Um, I mean, I don't want to say too much, but again, it's like my, my formative years were spent here. Um, I think the, like when I really determined what my perspective was just on myself and the world, it was here, it was, you know, the 6:40 AM bus rides in the winter to school. And because I was so far away from my high school, uh, it took almost like an hour to because I was like one of the first stops on the route. So it was like 6:40 AM, you know, seat six through eight. And I wasn't like just up front, but I also wasn't wiling in the back and I had a little, little bump in seat seven, put my knees up backpack window and just really daydream. And like, all that stuff happened here. Like, you know, becoming aware of being black happened here. Um, some of my best friends, obviously. Um, yeah, man, 4 I think just living here really shaped like what I wanted to get out of life and just knowing my place in it so easily, most, important place I've lived. Henry Bump (00:06:53): The bus. I remember we were talking about sort of where you grew up earlier and the, uh, the bus stop. And did it pick you up on Rice street ever or where was the stop at? Zander Tsadwa (00:07:02): It depended because I mean, sometimes it would change and then we also, they're kind of like two eras of me. Well, I guess three. Um, but I was, I was in college with a third one, so my family lived in so two 0 eight West Hoyt and that was like really dingy and like as hood as the experience I had, but it, I mean, it wasn't that terrible of St. Paul. It just like relative to, I don't know, people have lived in houses or, you know, didn't have like a lot of weed smoking neighbors, or the occasional gunshot. So that was like fourth through 10th grade. Um, my sophomore year we moved down the street, it was a nicer apartment. Uh, and then we stayed there. Well, until I graduated and then a couple of years after, and then my parents moved into something small before they moved to Atlanta. But yeah, I kind of like separate my experiences with those two arrows. Um, and the stops were never on Rice street but they were close though. I remember my first one was Hoyt and Albemarle. I remember that the bus driver would like shout every stop when she pulled over. She was nice. She was just like, I don't know, like mid forties, you know, well bigger kind of short, like dedicated to the job type of person. So she'd pull up like, okay, cool. It was like, it was just really memorable. Zander Tsadwa (00:08:38): Yeah. It was funny. It's funny. So yeah. Henry Bump (00:08:43): 5 Tell us, tell us a little bit about, I know that probably Rice street was probably like a big part of you and growing up around there and I listened to the song for everybody out there who hasn't got to listen to it, Rice street, boy, Rip bones.

  • Performance As a Site for Learning
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Visual Arts QUEERING OURSELVES: PERFORMANCE AS A SITE FOR LEARNING A Thesis in Art Education by Garnell E. Washington Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2005 ii Committee Page The thesis of Garnell E. Washington has been reviewed and approved* by the following: Yvonne M. Gaudelius Professor of Art Education & Women’s Studies Associate Dean, College of Arts & Architecture Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Marjorie Wilson Associate Professor of Art Education Christine Marme Thompson Professor of Art Education Professor In-Charge of Graduate Programs In Art Education Ian E. Baptiste Associate Professor of Education Mary Ann Stankiewicz Professor of Art Education Professor In-Charge of Art Education Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract The following study examines learning communities that are involved with art. It is an investigation of culture in action and community as interactivity. Here learning and culture are both examined “as” performance, as a happening only understood in hindsight, as an event that becomes known through experience. By employing queer criticism, I engage in a process of re-considering, re-investigating, and re-examining what I thought was familiar about the cultures that are near me. In this study I ask how various performances of my art classroom are and are not related to one another. In this report queer theory is combined with performance theory to articulate alternative notions of subjectivity. The combination of queer and performance theory is useful because it forces knowledge to be understood as activity.

  • Race Riot’ Within and Without ‘The Grrrl One’;
    ! ! The ‘Race Riot’ Within and Without ‘The Grrrl One’; Ethnoracial Grrrl Zines’ Tactical Construction of Space by Addie Shrodes A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2012 ! ! ! ! © March 19, 2012 Addie Cherice Shrodes ! ! Acknowledgements I wrote this thesis because of the help of many insightful and inspiring people and professors I have had the pleasure of working with during the past three years. To begin, I am immensely indebted to my thesis adviser, Prof. Gillian White, firstly for her belief in my somewhat-strange project and her continuous encouragement throughout the process of research and writing. My thesis has benefitted enormously from her insightful ideas and analysis of language, poetry and gender, among countless other topics. I also thank Prof. White for her patient and persistent work in reading every page I produced. I am very grateful to Prof. Sara Blair for inspiring and encouraging my interest in literature from my first Introduction to Literature class through my exploration of countercultural productions and theories of space. As my first English professor at Michigan and continual consultant, Prof. Blair suggested that I apply to the Honors program three years ago, and I began English Honors and wrote this particular thesis in a large part because of her. I owe a great deal to Prof. Jennifer Wenzel’s careful and helpful critique of my thesis drafts. I also thank her for her encouragement and humor when the thesis cohort weathered its most chilling deadlines. I am thankful to Prof. Lucy Hartley, Prof.

  • Am Me LGBTQ+ Resource Guide V.1 2 This LGBTQ+ Resource Guide
    “I Am Me: Understanding the Intersections of Gender, Sexuality, and Identity” is an educational training video that explores the challenges our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc. (LGBTQ+) young people face and how adults can be supportive allies. The video begins with the concepts of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation and then explores the challenges that LGBTQ+ youth face through personal stories from young people and adult advocates. The video ends with youth sharing how they need to be supported and a checklist on how to participate in acts of allyship for LGBTQ+ youth. To watch the full I Am Me video, go here: http://www.nmsoc.org/cocvideos.html This LGBTQ+ training video and resource guide were created in 2016 by the New Mexico Communities of Care in partnership with 12FPS (12fps.com) and Prevention at Play (www.preventionatplay.com). New Mexico Communities of Care’s primary objective is to keep youth, who have a serious mental health diagnosis, with their family and in their community getting the care that they need. This video is one of many efforts to ensure that adults, working with youth, have the knowledge and skills they need to support youth in all areas of service. Our hope is that this video will positively impact adults and improve outcomes for youth in any arena (schools, community organizations, communities of faith, families, etc.) working with or connected to LGBTQ+ young people.

  • Writing As an Expression of Self & in Relation to Others Meg Stentz D
    WRITING AS AN EXPRESSION OF SELF & IN RELATION TO OTHERS 1 “I Am Who I Want To Be Not Who You Want Me To Be”: Writing as an Expression of Self & In Relation to Others Meg Stentz Dr. Beverly Moss The Ohio State University WRITING AS AN EXPRESSION OF SELF & IN RELATION TO OTHERS 2 Abstract By adding a writing component to an existing model of structured support group, Stentz examines the way four ninth grade girls use writing to define their own identities and their relationships with one another. Her research centers around questions about how writing is received in the group: how does writing further the goals of an organization which seeks to promote connection between girls? And, how do the girls use writing, as opposed to speaking, to articulate their identities? Stentz found that girls’ use of writing provides an opportunity to put forward a vision of the self that the girls do not access in speech. Furthermore, the girls use writing—both the words and the act itself—to demonstrate and strengthen their friendships and allegiances within the group. Stentz analyzed the girls’ writings and speaking in the support group to reach these conclusions, as well as interviewing each girl at the end of the project. Stentz’s project indicates the usefulness of writing in a group that seeks to promote connection between its members and may be of interest to individuals who work with groups, particularly groups of teenaged girls. WRITING AS AN EXPRESSION OF SELF & IN RELATION TO OTHERS 3 Chapter One: A Study With not For Girls Introduction At the age of 19, in a fervor of academic inferiority I signed up for History of Critical Theory, one of the densest courses my English department offers.
