AddRan College Development Efforts and Accomplishments • AddRan College development efforts for 2013 were focused on reaching the goal of $1 million to fund the Benjamin W. Schmidt Endowed Professor in History. This goal was met in December 2013 through generous gifts from a variety of donors. • Benjamin W. Schmidt was awarded (posthumous) an Honorary Doctorate of the University in recognition of his supreme sacrifice. The degree was awarded at the December 2013 commencement with his parents, Drs. David Richard Schmidt and Becky L. Whetstone, in attendance along with other members of his immediate family. • The 2013 Back-to-Class event held in April was attended by over 225 people with the proceeds from the event going to support the Benjamin W. Schmidt Professorship efforts. • New BOV members added during 2013: Cory Bakke, Becky Borbolla, Joy Ann Havran, Don Jackson, J.R. Labbe, Elva LeBlanc, Rose Navejar, Carl Stroud, Phil Weber • BOV meetings were held on March 7, July 25, and November 15 (hosted by J.R. Labbe at JPS Hospital) • Table 1 summarizes giving to AddRan College over the last five years. The total giving in 2013 was $1,423,822, which is a 157% increase over 2012 and is the largest annual total for the five- year reporting period. The total number of gifts increased to 948, which is the largest number of gifts for the five-year period. A large part of this success and increase can be attributed to the significant gifts as part of the Benjamin W. Schmidt Professorship effort. For example, the Silver and Black Foundation of the San Antonio Spurs organization gave a $100,000 donation. There were also a large number of smaller amount gifts to the Schmidt Professorship. Given the efforts of Dr. David and Theresa Schmidt and members of the San Antonio Spurs organization, we reached our goal of $1 million to endow the professorship in December 2013, thus culminating a very successful and ambitious effort. Mr. Matt Bethea, the AddRan College Development Officer, deserves special recognition for achieving the $1 million goal in one calendar year. • The goal for 2013 was to increase the number of gifts to 900 and raise $1 million. Both of these goals were achieved. For 2014, our goal is to increase the number of gifts to AddRan College to 1,000 and increase total giving to $1.5 million.

Statistical Overview of SCH, Majors, Degrees Conferred • Undergraduate semester credit hours (Table 2) for 2013 increased by 961 or 1% over 2012. This is the largest annual SCH for the college and is 8% greater than 2009. Departmental increases were registered by Criminal Justice, Economics, English, Political Science, and Sociology & Anthropology. Slight decreases were reported for History & Geography, Modern Language Studies, Philosophy, Religion, and Spanish & Hispanic Studies. The largest increase in SCH was 8% between 2012 and 2013 by the Department of English. In part, this increase is explained by growth in the first-year class, which has an immediate impact in core literature and composition classes and the interest in creative writing courses. • AddRan College continues to account for approximately 30% of undergraduate SCH at TCU. • Graduate SCH (Table 3) increased slightly over 2012 to a total of 996 hours and remains stable over the 5-year reporting window. • The number of students majoring in AddRan College departments (Table 4) declined slightly (11%) between 2012 and 2013 to 1,343. Increased numbers of majors were reported in the Departments of Economics and Political Science. For the other departments, the number of majors either remained the same or declined slightly. • Between 2012 and 2013, the total number of degrees conferred (Table 5) increased by 53, with virtually all of this attributed to a growth in undergraduate degrees. 4.

    Notes for Chapter Re-Drafts

    Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 Jonathan Wroot PhD Thesis Submitted to the University of East Anglia For the qualification of PhD in Film Studies 2013 1 Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 2 Acknowledgements Thanks needed to be expressed to a number of people over the last three years – and I apologise if I forget anyone here. First of all, thank you to Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston for agreeing to oversee this research – which required reining in my enthusiasm as much as attempting to tease it out of me and turn it into coherent writing. Thanks to Mark Jancovich, who helped me get started with the PhD at UEA. A big thank you also to Andrew Kirkham and Adam Torel for doing what they do at 4Digital Asia, Third Window, and their other ventures – if they did not do it, this thesis would not exist. Also, a big thank you to my numerous other friends and family – whose support was invaluable, despite the distance between most of them and Norwich. And finally, the biggest thank you of all goes to Christina, for constantly being there with her support and encouragement. 3 Abstract The thesis will examine how DVD distribution can affect Japanese film dissemination in the UK. The media discourse concerning 4Digital Asia and Third Window proposes that this is the principal factor influencing their films’ presence in the UK from 2008 to 2010.

    “Down the Rabbit Hole: an Exploration of Japanese Lolita Fashion”

    “Down the Rabbit Hole: An Exploration of Japanese Lolita Fashion” Leia Atkinson A thesis presented to the Faculty of Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies in the Program of Anthropology with the intention of obtaining a Master’s Degree School of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Leia Atkinson, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 Abstract An ethnographic work about Japanese women who wear Lolita fashion, based primarily upon anthropological field research that was conducted in Tokyo between May and August 2014. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how and why women wear Lolita fashion despite the contradictions surrounding it. An additional purpose is to provide a new perspective about Lolita fashion through using interview data. Fieldwork was conducted through participant observation, surveying, and multiple semi-structured interviews with eleven women over a three-month period. It was concluded that women wear Lolita fashion for a sense of freedom from the constraints that they encounter, such as expectations placed upon them as housewives, students or mothers. The thesis provides a historical chapter, a chapter about fantasy with ethnographic data, and a chapter about how Lolita fashion relates to other fashions as well as the Cool Japan campaign. ii Acknowledgements Throughout the carrying out of my thesis, I have received an immense amount of support, for which I am truly thankful, and without which this thesis would have been impossible. I would particularly like to thank my supervisor, Vincent Mirza, as well as my committee members Ari Gandsman and Julie LaPlante. I would also like to thank Arai Yusuke, Isaac Gagné and Alexis Truong for their support and advice during the completion of my thesis.

  • How America's Federalized Labor

    How America's Federalized Labor

    SOLIDARITY’S WEDGE: HOW AMERICA’S FEDERALIZED LABOR LAW DIVIDES AND DIMINISHES ORGANIZED LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alexis Nicole Walker May 2014 © 2014 Alexis Nicole Walker SOLIDARITY’S WEDGE: HOW AMERICA’S FEDERALIZED LABOR LAW DIVIDES AND DIMINISHES ORGANIZED LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES Alexis Nicole Walker, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 Organized labor is one of the largest voluntary organizations in the United States, representing over 14 million members in a sophisticated network of local, state and national unions interconnected through labor councils, state organizations, and national federations that mount significant electoral and lobbying campaigns. Despite these apparent strengths, organized labor has suffered numerous setbacks including the continued failure to pass national labor law reform and the retrenchment of public sector collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin, which suggest they are less politically effective than we would expect given their membership and resources. Why does organized labor punch below its weight in American politics? This project emphasizes the important role of institutions—namely divided labor law and federalism—in shaping the composition, size, strength and effectiveness of organized labor in the American politics. Exclusion of public sector employees from the foundation of private sector labor law, the Wagner Act, or their own comparable national level law, firmly situated private sector law at the national level while relegating public sector employees’ efforts to gain collective bargaining rights to the state and local level.

    Lolita Fashion, Like Other Japanese Subcultures, Developed As a Response a to Social Pressures and Anxieties Felt by Young Women and Men in the 1970S and 1980S

    Lolita: Dreaming, Despairing, Defying Lolita: D, D, D J New York University a p As it exists in Japan, Lolita Fashion, like other Japanese subcultures, developed as a response a to social pressures and anxieties felt by young women and men in the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than dealing with the difficult reality of rapid commercialization, destabilization of society, n a rigid social system, and an increasingly body-focused fashion norm, a select group of youth chose to find comfort in the over-the-top imaginary world of lace, frills, bows, tulle, and ribbons that is Lolita Fashion. However, the more gothic elements of the style reflect that behind this cute façade lurks the dark, sinister knowledge that this ploy will inevitably end, the real world unchanged.
