  • The Role of Artivism in Exposing the Sexist-Ableist Nexus in Campus Rape Culture
    Acts of Public Survival: The Role of Artivism in Exposing the Sexist-Ableist Nexus in Campus Rape Culture Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tess Elizabeth Cumpstone, MA Graduate Program in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee: Dr. Guisela Latorre, Advisor Dr. Margaret Price Copyright by Tess Elizabeth Cumpstone 2018 2 Abstract “Acts of Public Survival” analyzes how community-based, anti-rape art projects on college campuses challenge the sexist-ableist rhetorical maneuvers that pathologize survivors and position them as outliers requiring special treatment. This violent rhetoric is evident in messages that have been circulated by prominent public figures, as well as entrenched in the policies and administrative responses addressing sexual violence on college campuses. The impact of such rhetoric is the perpetuation and affirmation of the sub-humanization of survivors of sexual trauma. In this thesis, I put disability studies scholarship in conversation with feminist theories on sexual violence and public art in order to highlight the interconnected history of sexism-ableism in the U.S. and the function of anti-rape art projects as artivist practices on college campuses. Specifically, I will be considering Duke University’s Breaking Out Campaign, the University of Chicago’s Clothesline Project, and Emma Sulkowicz’s Mattress Performance (undertaken at Columbia University). I use grounded theory and discourse analysis to interpret digital articles written in reaction to the art projects and to track three common trends in sexist-ableist campus community responses: the narrative of special treatment, the narrative of pathology, and the narrative of willful ignorance.

Her performance took the audience on a journey meant to leave no one behind; it moved from the highly choreographed rendition of the song with musical accompaniment and Hill acting as lead vocalist and band conductor to her slowly speaking the lyrics of the song and occasionally offering analysis of her words over the shouts and applause of audience members. She explains the line “when I’m feeling sad,” saying “that’s a depressive mood.”2 As the title of her song suggests, in each reiteration Hill issues a different draft of the song, sketching her sound, mood, tempo, and emphasis with each new au- dience. Although renditions of the song shift, the lyrics consistently recount the physical, psychic, economic, and environmental vulnerability of black people in the United States. The lyrics transform the original song’s references to beloved objects—“blue satin sashes” and “snowflakes”—into ironic things such as “Black human packages tied up in strings,” which Hill described in her Philadelphia performance as a reference to bureaucracy but which also resonates with familiar images of lynching.3 Shifting from the original song’s depiction Soyica Diggs Colbert is an associate professor of African American Studies and Theater and Performance Studies at Georgetown University.

Any emails sent during the weekend or on holidays will be answered within 72 hours Course Description: What would happen if we genuinely paid attention to the history of American slavery? What threads could we pull from it about gender, sex and power? This course examines the current discourse around sexual harassment and assault from the #MeToo movement through the informed lens of Harriet Jacobs’s slave narrative Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Both “texts” involve navigating spaces of subjugation and supremacy and yet one voice has remained steadily ignored in mainstream audiences. We will also look at the intersection of race and gender that Incidents reveals and trace how these remain intact or not through today. While there isn’t yet a week to week schedule you should know that we will generally be reading a 50-100 page book per week with smaller secondary articles, there will be required weekly blog posts, three open book quizzes, leading class discussion and no final. **Explicit Content Statement** Over the course of the semester you will be introduced to texts that may be explicit in nature (i.e.

  • Girl/Friends Leadership Institutes in Chicago in 2009
    BACKGROUND The history of A Long Walk Home is based on the story of sisters and co-founders Scheherazade and Salamishah Tillet. Salamishah was sexually assaulted as a teenager; and in 1998, Scheherazade began to photo document the impact of sexual assault on Salamishah’s life, launching the awarding winning, Story of A Rape Survivor (SOARS) multimedia performance for college youth leaders and administrators. Over the last eleven years, ALWH's SOARS college campaign has presented at over 300 colleges and served as an essential bridge between traditional victims' advocacy groups and low- income students and students of color. Building on this model of art, advocacy, and survivor’s leadership, ALWH expanded the programming to include the Girl/Friends Leadership Institutes in Chicago in 2009. GIRL/FRIENDS LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE Girl/Friends Leadership Institutes has partnered with two different sites in Chicago: the charter school, North Lawndale College Preparatory High School (NLCP) and the residential treatment center, Mercy Home for Boys and Girls. At NLCP, teen girls can participate in Girl/Friends through: (1) a selective yearlong afterschool program (25 youth leaders per year) and receive college credit; or (2) credits classes in school curriculum (60 youth leaders per year). BACKGROUND ABOUT NLCP NLCP is located in one of the most under-resourced neighborhoods in Chicago. NLCP has two campuses and has 950 students. The North Lawndale neighborhood is in particular need of violence prevention programming because it has the 3rd highest number of reported criminal sexual assault among Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods. Despite the prevalence of sex crimes that affect young girls in North Lawndale, there are no mental health facilities to serve survivors of domestic and sexual violence in the community.
