Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

  • I'll Have What She's Having: Reflective Desires and Consequentialism
    I'll Have What She's Having: Reflective Desires and Consequentialism by Jesse Kozler A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors Department of Philosophy in the University of Michigan 2019 Advisor: Professor James Joyce Second Reader: Professor David Manley Acknowledgments This thesis is not the product of solely my own efforts, and owes its existence in large part to the substantial support that I have received along the way from the many wonderful, brilliant people in my life. First and foremost, I want to thank Jim Joyce who eagerly agreed to advise this project and who has offered countless insights which gently prodded me to refine my approach, solidify my thoughts, and strengthen my arguments. Without him this project would never have gotten off the ground. I want to thank David Manley, who signed on to be the second reader and whose guidance on matters inside and outside of the realm of my thesis has been indispensable. Additionally, I want to thank Elizabeth Anderson, Peter Railton, and Sarah Buss who, through private discussions and sharing their own work, provided me with inspiration at times I badly needed it and encouraged me to think about previously unexamined issues. I am greatly indebted to the University of Michigan LSA Honors Program who, through their generous Honors Summer Fellowship program, made it possible for me to stay in Ann Arbor and spend my summer reading and thinking intentionally about these issues. I am especially grateful to Mika LaVaque-Manty, who whipped me into shape and instilled in me a work ethic that has been essential to the completion of this project.

  • The Mortara Center for International Studies Walsh School of Foreign Service Georgetown University Annual Report 2017 - 2018 About the Center
    The Mortara Center for International Studies Walsh School of Foreign Service Georgetown University Annual Report 2017 - 2018 About the Center Officially opened in January 2003, the Mortara Center for International Studies was founded through the generosity of the late Mr. Michael P. Mortara, his wife, Mrs. Virginia Mortara, and friends and colleagues. The Mortara family envisioned a center of scholarly inquiry at the School of Foreign Service that would embody the mission of the School and its focus on the intersection of theory and practice in international affairs. Mission Statement The Mortara Center for International Studies seeks to advance schlarship and inform policy by combining the expertise of scholars and experience of international affairs practitioners to illuminate the fundamental forces - political, economic and cultural - that shape international relations. To realize this mission, the Center: • organizes and cosponsors lectures, workshops and conferences • provides support for research and publications • generates communities of research 1 LetterLetter fromfrom thethe DirectorDirector Dear Friends of the Mortara Center, Over the past year, the Mortara Center has con- tinued to promote and energize faculty and student research at the School of Foreign Service. Focusing on pressing global problems from climate change to financial crisis to mitigating violence in post-conflict states, the Center has hosted hundreds of events, con- vened working groups, and supported deep student mentorship experiences through the Mortara Under- graduate Research Fellowship program. For the 2017-2018 annual report, I would like to draw your attention to two exceptional programs, which exemplify the extraordinary work happening at Mortara and the School. The Center was honored to host the launch of the Mortara Distinguished Professor of Diplomacy Madeleine Albright’s book Fascism: A Warning.
