  • When Being No. 1 Is Not Enough
    A Report Prepared by the Civil Rights Forum on Communications Policy When Being No. 1 Is Not Enough: The Impact of Advertising Practices On Minority- Owned & Minority-Formatted Broadcast Stations Kofi Asiedu Ofori Principal Investigator submitted to the Office of Communications Business Opportunities Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. All Rights Reserved to the Civil Rights Forum on Communications Policy a project of the Tides Center Synopsis As part of its mandate to identify and eliminate market entry barriers for small businesses under Section 257 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications Commission chartered this study to investigate practices in the advertising industry that pose potential barriers to competition in the broadcast marketplace. The study focuses on practices called "no Urban/Spanish dictates" (i.e. the practice of not advertising on stations that target programming to ethnic/racial minorities) and "minority discounts" (i.e. the practice of paying minority- formatted radio stations less than what is paid to general market stations with comparable audience size). The study consists of a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of these practices. Based upon comparisons of nationwide data, the study indicates that stations that target programming to minority listeners are unable to earn as much revenue per listener as stations that air general market programming. The quantitative analysis also suggests that minority-owned radio stations earn less revenues per listener than majority broadcasters that own a comparable number of stations nationwide. These disparities in advertising performance may be attributed to a variety of factors including economic efficiencies derived from common ownership, assessments of listener income and spending patterns, or ethnic/racial stereotypes that influence the media buying process.

  • Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons a Thesis
    Disablement, Diversity, Deviation: Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Sarah Gibbons 2016 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation brings disability studies and postcolonial studies into dialogue with discourse surrounding risk in the environmental humanities. The central question that it investigates is how critics can reframe and reinterpret existing threat registers to accept and celebrate disability and embodied difference without passively accepting the social policies that produce disabling conditions. It examines the literary and rhetorical strategies of contemporary cultural works that one, promote a disability politics that aims for greater recognition of how our environmental surroundings affect human health and ability, but also two, put forward a disability politics that objects to devaluing disabled bodies by stigmatizing them as unnatural. Some of the major works under discussion in this dissertation include Marie Clements’s Burning Vision (2003), Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), Gerardine Wurzburg’s Wretches & Jabberers (2010) and Corinne Duyvis’s On the Edge of Gone (2016). The first section of this dissertation focuses on disability, illness, industry, and environmental health to consider how critics can discuss disability and environmental health in conjunction without returning to a medical model in which the term ‘disability’ often designates how closely bodies visibly conform or deviate from definitions of the normal body.

  • The Joy of Autism: Part 2
    However, even autistic individuals who are profoundly disabled eventually gain the ability to communicate effectively, and to learn, and to reason about their behaviour and about effective ways to exercise control over their environment, their unique individual aspects of autism that go beyond the physiology of autism and the source of the profound intrinsic disabilities will come to light. These aspects of autism involve how they think, how they feel, how they express their sensory preferences and aesthetic sensibilities, and how they experience the world around them. Those aspects of individuality must be accorded the same degree of respect and the same validity of meaning as they would be in a non autistic individual rather than be written off, as they all too often are, as the meaningless products of a monolithically bad affliction." Based on these extremes -- the disabling factors and atypical individuality, Phil says, they are more so disabling because society devalues the atypical aspects and fails to accommodate the disabling ones. That my friends, is what we are working towards -- a place where the group we seek to "help," we listen to. We do not get offended when we are corrected by the group. We are the parents. We have a duty to listen because one day, our children may be the same people correcting others tomorrow. In closing, about assumptions, I post the article written by Ann MacDonald a few days ago in the Seattle Post Intelligencer: By ANNE MCDONALD GUEST COLUMNIST Three years ago, a 6-year-old Seattle girl called Ashley, who had severe disabilities, was, at her parents' request, given a medical treatment called "growth attenuation" to prevent her growing.

READING AUTISTIC EXPERIENCE by NATALIE COLLINS TRICE Under the Direction of Dr. Margaret Mills Harper ABSTRACT Within the field of Disability Studies, research on cognitive and developmental disabilities is relatively rare in comparison to other types of disabilities. Using Clifford Geertz‘s anthropological approach, ―thick description,‖ autism can be better understood by placing both fiction and non-fiction accounts of the disorder into a larger theoretical context. Applying concepts from existing works in Disability Studies to the major writings of Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Jacques Lacan, and Donna Haraway also proves to be mutually enlightening. This ethnographic approach within the context of analysis of literary texts provides a model by which

Charts Have you got your vacation covered? Do you have the kid’s plans set for camp and for their other summer activities. With all this sunshine, I am dreaming of the beach. That is unlikely to happen any time soon, but I am heading to Philadelphia this weekend for the NonCommvention, and I am so excited to be in striking distance for Philly Cheese Steaks and Hoagies. I love the regionalism of that much-loved sandwich, with its different names in different locales: Subs, Grinders, Heroes, even Po’ Boys. I think that Texas and Red Dirt folks need to institutionalize a name also, bigger and better, of course. Travel always means new vistas, making new friends and hanging with old buddies. And it always should have a food component. Being somewhere new means new food choices and I think ya PAGE 2-3 — just gotta taste it all. Should I quote Warren Zevon?

  • 2014 and Two in Fall 2014) That Already Incorporate the New Student Learning Outcomes Into the Course (See the COURSE GOALS/LEARNING OUTCOMES Portion of the Syllabus)
    FIRST-YEAR SEMINAR REAPPROVAL FORM UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON COURSE TITLE: DISABILITY STUDIES: REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE AND FILM SUBMITTED BY: Chris Foss DATE: 11-21-14 RATIONALE. Include short statement addressing how this course meets the FSEM’s basic components and new student learning outcomes (see FSEM call above). This course is the most-taught FSEM in the history of UMW; I have offered 23 different sections of the course since its debut in Spring 2008, including the four most recent sections (two in Spring 2014 and two in Fall 2014) that already incorporate the new student learning outcomes into the course (see the COURSE GOALS/LEARNING OUTCOMES portion of the syllabus). The basic components of a FSEM at UMW have remained the same since the inception of the program, so these have been incorporated into all 23 sections previously taught (see the first paragraph of the COURSE DESCRIPTION portion of the syllabus). This course also features multiple meaningful assignments where both writing and speaking are concerned (see the COURSE ASSIGNMENTS portion of the syllabus). Finally, this course already has incorporated two of the new Canvas modules (CA and CRAAP) into its syllabus/calendar. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any further information. SYLLABUS. Attach a course syllabus. SUBMIT this form and attached syllabus electronically as one document to Dave Stahlman ([email protected]). All submissions must be in electronic form.
