  • Dr Fiona Mccall Is an Early Modern Historian Specialising in Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Century Religious and Social History
    Women’s experience of violence and suffering as represented in loyalist accounts of the English Civil War Dr Fiona McCall Senior Lecturer in History, University of Portsmouth & Departmental Lecturer in Local & Social History, University of Oxford Department of Continuing Education Biography Dr Fiona McCall is an early modern historian specialising in sixteenth and seventeenth-century religious and social history. Her work focuses on anti-clericalism, religious conflict, family and memory within parishes during and after the English Civil wars. She has published a book, Baal's Priests: the Loyalist Clergy and the English Revolution (Ashgate, 2013) and other papers on loyalist culture. She is currently writing a book on religious conflict in English parishes during the Commonwealth period, funded by the British Academy. She lectures in history at the University of Portsmouth and for the University of Oxford Department of Continuing Education. Address 41 Clayhill Close, Waltham Chase, Hampshire, SO32 2TT Tel: 07733114279 Email: [email protected] 1 Abstract A long-standing literary and religious narrative tradition positioned medieval and early modern women as the helpless, passive and silent victims of male cruelty and violence. Yet during the English Civil Wars, expressed ideals of female meekness were challenged, as women became notably more assertive, voicing their opinions by preaching, writing and petitioning, or otherwise becoming ‘masculine’. After the Restoration of 1660, female agency was seen as a symptom of a troubled past, causing debate amongst historians as to whether the Civil Wars had any significant effect on women’s status in society. This paper investigates attitudes to gender and agency engendered by the English Civil Wars, by considering the depiction of women’s responses to violence in a collection of letters describing the experiences of loyalist clerical families during the Civil Wars.

  • The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia
    The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia by Sandra C Zichermann A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Sociology in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Sandra C Zichermann 2013 The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia Sandra C Zichermann Doctor of Education Sociology in Education University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis investigates the rise of the cultures and music of hip-hop and rap in the West and its effects on its female listeners and fans, especially those in academia. The thesis consists of two parts. First I conducted a content analysis of 95 lyrics from the book, Hip-Hop & Rap: Complete Lyrics for 175 Songs (Spence, 2003). The songs I analyzed were performed by male artists whose lyrics repeated misogynist and sexist messages. Second, I conducted a focus group with young female university students who self-identify as fans of hip-hop and/or rap music. In consultation with my former thesis supervisor, I selected women enrolled in interdisciplinary programmes focused on gender and race because they are equipped with an academic understanding of the potential damage or negative effects of anti-female or negative political messaging in popular music. My study suggests that the impact of hip-hop and rap music on young women is both positive and negative, creating an overarching feeling of complexity for some young female listeners who enjoy music that is infused with some lyrical messages they revile.

  • Not in ESTC: --The Last Speeches and Dying Words, of John Riley, Alexander Bourk, Martin Carrol [Et Al.]
    The 2017 EC/ASECS Presidential Address By Eugene Hammond First of all, profound thanks to Emily Kugler for coordinating this year’s EC/ASECS conference. Managing a conference requires the full gamut of skills, from managing a diminutive budget constantly in flux, to negotiating as a novice with hotels who negotiate for a living, to persuading one’s university to make a few concessions in their usual access policies, to keeping faculty busy elsewhere with their teaching on time with their conference tasks, to mastering technology and emergency technology repair, to guessing when and how important coffee is to participants, to keeping cool under pressure, to giving up much of your leisure for a year. I’ve only scratched the surface. I have coordinated only two conferences in my career, and they were the most taxing professional experiences I’ve had. Doing this work is satisfying at the end when you see your conference take intellectual shape, but until that climax many, many times you doubt your common sense for having agreed to do this job. Second, it is moving to be back here at Howard where we held a funeral service for Maurice Bennett, my officemate at the University of Maryland in the early 80s, and who died of AIDS in the early 90s. Third, I’d like to express my deep gratitude to this organization, EC/ASECS, that saved me during the 14 years that I left university teaching to teach high school; EC/ASECS has consistently been a collection of people and of scholars, not of ranks.

The years spent studying have been hard but inspiring, as I negotiated the life of a researcher with the daily struggles of having a chronic illness. This work was generated through perseverance and the continual support of the people around me. My first, and undying, gratitude to my supervisors: Associate Professor Jenny de Reuck and Doctor David Moody. Jenny, you supported me through many trials and tribulations, providing me with positivity and a safe space to express myself and try new approaches. Words cannot express my gratitude. David, your numerous edits and illuminating discussions shall remain with me, always. You kept me grounded and reminded me not to take myself too seriously. Thank you both for your patience. Secondly, I would like to thank all of the people who participated in and enriched my creative practice. To the cast and crew of 2084 (both the workshop and final product): you helped make the show what it is. To Dr Melissa Merchant I am deeply indebted for mentoring me through life as an academic and for all the good advice I promptly ignored: perhaps the next generation will be wiser.

  • The Korean Wave in America: Assessing the Status of K-Pop and K-Drama Between Global and Local
    Situations 11.2 (2018): 105– 27 ISSN: 2288–7822 The Korean Wave in America: Assessing the Status of K-pop and K-drama between Global and Local Lisa M. Longenecker and Jooyoun Lee (St. Edward’s University) Abstract Although scholarly attention has focused increasingly on the global recognition of the Korean Wave, little has been explored regarding the popularity and appeal of this phenomenon in the United States. This article seeks to fill this gap by analyzing the extent to which hallyu has been recognized and accepted by American audiences by focusing on K-pop and K-drama. Exploring how hallyu is being received in America offers meaningful insights into how a country with predominant cultural influence on the global stage responds to another country’s transnational popular culture. This study demonstrates that K-pop and K-drama are gradually gaining popularity and visibility in America via diverse channels. BTS in particular has significantly penetrated the U.S. market by interacting with fans on social media, meeting psychological needs of individuals, and filling in for the lack of boy bands in the current American music scene. While both K-pop and K-drama exhibit some limitations in infiltrating American society, the contemporary status of hallyu in America disputes the idea of American cultural dominance by illustrating a complex and intriguing process of globalization embedded in constant interactions between global and local forces, a process that entails adaptation, acceptance, and tension between different cultures. Keywords: Korean Wave, hybridity, cultural tension, cultural homogenization, heterogenization, K-pop, K-drama, BTS 106 Lisa M.
