  • Transgender Representation on American Narrative Television from 2004-2014
    TRANSJACKING TELEVISION: TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION ON AMERICAN NARRATIVE TELEVISION FROM 2004-2014 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Kelly K. Ryan May 2021 Examining Committee Members: Jan Fernback, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Media and Communication Ron Becker, External Member, Miami University ABSTRACT This study considers the case of representation of transgender people and issues on American fictional television from 2004 to 2014, a period which represents a steady surge in transgender television characters relative to what came before, and prefigures a more recent burgeoning of transgender characters since 2014. The study thus positions the period of analysis as an historical period in the changing representation of transgender characters. A discourse analysis is employed that not only assesses the way that transgender characters have been represented, but contextualizes American fictional television depictions of transgender people within the broader sociopolitical landscape in which those depictions have emerged and which they likely inform. Television representations and the social milieu in which they are situated are considered as parallel, mutually informing discourses, including the ways in which those representations have been engaged discursively through reviews, news coverage and, in some cases, blogs. ii To Desmond, Oonagh and Eamonn For everything. And to my mother, Elaine Keisling, Who would have read the whole thing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the research and writing of this dissertation, I have received a great deal of support and assistance, and therefore offer many thanks. To my Dissertation Chair, Jan Fernback, whose feedback on my writing and continued support and encouragement were invaluable to the completion of this project.

  • U.S. Employers' Guide to Hiring Refugees
    U.S. EMPLOYERS’ GUIDE TO HIRING REFUGEES 1 U.S. EMPLOYERS’ GUIDE TO HIRING REFUGEES ABOUT TENT Founded in 2015 by Hamdi Ulukaya, the Tent Foundation is mobilizing the private sector to improve the lives and livelihoods of the more than 20 million men, women, and children forcibly displaced from their home countries. As traditional actors struggle to cope with the global refugee crisis – with ever-increasing numbers of refugees, displaced for longer periods of time – it is clear that businesses have a more important role than ever before. Tent works with businesses to help them develop and implement tangible commitments to support refugees. Tent believes that businesses have the greatest impact when they treat refugees not as victims, but as economically-productive workers, suppliers, entrepreneurs and customers – and when they leverage their core business operations to hire refugees, integrate refugees into supply chains, invest in refugees, and deliver services to them.

  • DECONSTRUCTING the INVISIBLE WALL: How Policy Changes by the Trump Administration Are Slowing and Restricting Legal Immigration
    DECONSTRUCTING THE INVISIBLE WALL: How Policy Changes by the Trump Administration Are Slowing and Restricting Legal Immigration #AILAStandsWithImmigrants AILA Doc. No. 18031933. (Posted 3/19/18) Deconstructing The Invisible Wall Introduction For decades, our country has reaped the extensive benefits of our legal immigration system. Immigrants living and working in the United States based on close family ties, employer sponsorship, humanitarian protection, and the Diversity Immigrant Visa program have made our nation stronger, better, and more vibrant by building strong family support systems and culturally enriched communities, and contributing to our shared economic growth by launching businesses, fueling entrepreneurship, driving innovation, and strengthening the U.S. labor force. U.S. history is full of immigrant success stories that confirm how you come to the United States is less important than what you accomplish once you arrive.1 No less than 43 percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded or co-founded by an immigrant or the child of an immigrant, and that figure rises to 57 percent among the Fortune 500 Top 35.2 In Silicon Valley, more than half of new tech start-up companies were founded by foreign-born individuals.3 Some of the most prominent immigrants who have helped launch successful U.S.-based businesses include Arianna Huffington (Huffington Post), Pierre Omidyar (eBay), Sergey Brin (Google), Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX), Jerry Yang (Yahoo), Hamdi Ulukaya (Chobani), and Jan Koum (WhatsApp). John Tu, co-founder of Kingston Technology and number 87 on the Forbes 400 list, immigrated to the United States based on sponsorship by his U.S.

Dolan It was a record year for the richest people on earth, as the number of billionaires jumped 13% to 2,043 from 1,810 last year, the first time ever that Forbes has pinned down more than 2,000 ten-figure-fortunes. Their total net worth rose by 18% to $7.67 trillion, also a record. The change in the number of billionaires -- up 233 since the 2016 list -- was the biggest in the 31 years that Forbes has been tracking billionaires globally.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos had the best year of any person on the planet, adding $27.6 billion to his fortune; now worth $72.8 billion, he moved into the top three in the world for the first time, up from number five a year ago. Warren Buffett had the second-best year, and the biggest gain since Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016.

  • Page from the HUMBLE KURDISH FIELDS of TURKEY to YOGHURT MAGNATE the STORY of HAMDI ULUKAYA of CHOBANI YOGHURT LLC by Leandr
    FROM THE HUMBLE KURDISH FIELDS OF TURKEY TO YOGHURT MAGNATE THE STORY OF HAMDI ULUKAYA OF CHOBANI YOGHURT LLC By Leandri Lotz This article is about how passion, diversity, community, creativity and organisational climate can defy all odds and can lead to a flourishing business during a time of global economic meltdown, but it also touches on how businesses must embrace change and when it comes to who should lead such change, even the best founders must sometimes be replaced. This is the journey of Hamdi Ulukaya and it commenced in 1994. As a Kurdish-Turkish immigrant from a family of shepherds, he arrived in America, speaking nearly no English. This was a period of worldwide economic and political turmoil; however, his country was so severely impacted by the instability that most young people sought refugee status in other countries, leaving what was familiar and loved by them, in pursuit of survival elsewhere. With his passion and courage, he started Chobani LLC and led the acclaimed yoghurt company to a net worth of $1.7billion as estimated in 2018. This makes Mr Ulukaya one of the wealthiest people in the world, and his experience stands as an example for entrepreneurs that aspire to build successful companies. Yes, I know this sounds like one of those too-good-to-be true stories that we easily brush aside; however, Hamdi Ulukaya’s journey was not as smooth as the finest Greek yoghurt that he produces. Many lumps and hiccups on the way required the young entrepreneur to persevere and hold his vision, even when he knew that he had no plan, no collateral and no knowledge of business, marketing and even yoghurt, apart from the homemade cheese recipe of his beloved mother.

  • Having Trumped the Wall: a Theory of Our Special Obligations to Admitted Refugees
    Having Trumped the Wall: A Theory of our Special Obligations to Admitted Refugees by Mak Yew Mun, Ryan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours Department of Philosophy in the University of Michigan 2017 Advisor: Professor Peter Railton Second Reader: Associate Professor Ishani Maitra ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I first embarked on this journey, I never imagined the day where I would be able to write my own Acknowledgements page, thanking the people along the way who have helped me get this far. In fact, there were many times where I joked with both my advisors and my friends and family that I probably would not even reach the minimum page requirement needed to submit this work as an Honours thesis. Now that this journey has come to an end, it is with great pleasure and pride that I thank here the individuals who have given me their support and encouragement, without which I would not know how I would have accomplished this feat. I would like to first thank my committee members—Prof. Peter Railton and Prof. Ishani Maitra—for your guidance not only for this thesis, but also through the years that I have been a Philosophy student under your tutelage. Thank you for all the conversations, the laughter, and the encouragement. And thank you especially for your patience for guiding this student who is lost most of the time when he comes to you, usually in a panicked and flustered state, because he thinks his thesis is about to implode; and for your generosity, carving time out of your busy schedule to mentor me through this process.
