She also has received awards for her work on stage, developing premiere works in Los Angeles and in New York with The Canyon Theatre Company, along with name actors such as Mark Ruffalo and Kathy Bates. Recently she has played opposite Lance Henriksen in Spirit Riders, Jen Kirkman in her Netflix comedy special and Mike Doyle in The Last Word. “Carol Hickey is one of the most naturally gifted people I have ever had the privilege and distinct pleasure of working with. She has, above and beyond normal, a natural child-like innocence, an unlimited imagination, and a vulnerability that has no boundaries. Anyone who has the good fortune to work with Carol, in any capacity, is truly privileged and on track to develop into becoming an actor of stature. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline, but with Carol as a guide, example, and mentor you are well on your way.” - Harry Mastrogeorge The workshop will focus on defining the job of an actor and the disciplined practice of training the imagination to create a second reality using the script as a road map. Mastering this technique the student becomes self-reliant and can create a truly realistic performance that has profound resonance and dimension. This class will guide the student to a professional level that results in booking more work! LOCATION TBD REGISTER at www.carolhickeyproductions.com Classes Tab, L.A.

February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

A Course Whose Time Has Come
A course whose time has come Paul R. Joseph Law is a central component of the democratic State. It defines the relation between the government and its people and sets the rules (and limits) of the restrained warfare of politics. Law becomes the battle ground for moral debates about issues such as abortion, discrimination, euthanasia, pornography and religion. Today we also debate the role Using science fiction and functioning of the legal system itself. Are lawyers ethical? Do judges usurp the legislative role? Are there too many ‘frivolous’ law materials to teach law. suits? Law and popular culture Where do the masses of people learn about the law? What shapes their views? Some peruse learned treatises, others read daily newspapers or tune in to the nightly news. Some watch key events, such as Supreme Court confirmation hearings, live, as they happen. Some have even been to law school. Many people also rely (whether consciously or not) on popular culture for their understanding of law and the legal system. Movies, television programs and other popular culture elements play a dual role, both shaping and reflecting our beliefs about the law. If popular culture helps to shape the public’s view about legal issues, it also reflects those views. By its nature as a mass commercial product, popular culture is unlikely to depart radically from images which the public will accept. By examining popular culture, we, the legally trained, can get an idea about how we and the things we do are understood and viewed by the rest of the body politic.

Introduction
Introduction PETER ROBSON AND JESSICA SILBEY Scholarship on law and television has developed slowly over the past 30 years. It began alongside the study of film and law, but its trajectory and import differ in significant ways. This Introduction provides both an overview of the earlier work on law and television and context to the current collection of essays. There are several putative beginnings to law and television scholarship, all dating to the 1980s. The early work of both Stewart Macaulay1 and Lawrence Friedman2 featured the role of television in the development of popular legal culture. Their influ- ential essays form the starting point for the study of popular culture in shaping the public’s conception of the law. Around the same time, studies of Perry Mason com- plemented those describing the popularity of the pioneering legal drama LA Law.3 Others explored television’s role in conceptualising law in the modern era.4 Steven Stark’s 1987 article, ‘Perry Mason meets Sonny Crockett: The History of Lawyers and the Police as Television Heroes’, is emblematic and examines the substantial amount of ‘law and order’ oriented programming on American television in its first 30 years as a mass medium of entertainment.5 By 1990, a mere three years later, one finds the majority of scholarship on law in popular culture focused on television. However, by the beginning of the new century the emphasis switched to film, with only modest contributions in the late 1990s to the study of law and justice on the small screen.6 1 Stewart Macaulay, ‘Images of Law in Everyday Life: The Lessons of School, Entertainment and Spectator Sports’ (1987) 21 L&SR 185.

Kirsten Leng Office: South College W417 WGSS 395F-01 Office Hours: by appointment Mon: Online; Wed 2:30-3:45pm Email:[email protected] Classroom: South College W205 FEMINISM, COMEDY, AND HUMOR Fall 2019 “Comedians who insist that…funny is funny and comedy should be able to challenge anything and be an ‘equal opportunity offender’—sure, but there’s laughter and there’s laughter…If comedy is going to be taken as an art form…it has to be able to be criticized. You can’t just say your reaction as an audience is either to laugh or shut up and that’s the only thing you can do.” --Glen Weldon, “NPR: Pop Culture Happy Hour Podcast,” 19 December 2014 **Please Note: This syllabus is a dense document, but contains almost everything you need to know about the class (but were afraid to ask!) It is your contract, guidebook, ultimate resource. When you have a question, consult the syllabus first before contacting the instructor.** Course Description The popularity of shows like “Broad City” and the clout of performers such as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Wanda Sykes have arguably put to rest the old stereotype that women aren't funny. More importantly, they have all shown that comedy and humor can be vehicles for feminist messages. In so doing, they have built upon a legacy established by performers, writers, directors, and activists extending back to feminism's "first wave." In this course, we will examine the intersections of feminism, comedy, and humor, and will explore questions such as: In what ways are comedy and humor gendered? What roles do race, class, and sexuality play? Why have feminists, and women more generally, been seen as inherently unfunny? How have feminists used humor and comedy for political ends? We will also broadly consider the ethics, politics, and social and cultural purposes of comedy and humor.

Breath and Breathlessness (Reflections from the Long Road of My Healing) April 11T H, 2021 Rev
Breath and Breathlessness (Reflections from the Long Road of My Healing) April 11t h, 2021 Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley North Universalist Chapel Society Good morning and good Sunday. I hope that this new day finds you well. My name is Leon Dunkley and I am honored to serve as minister to North Universalist Chapel Society (or North Chapel) in Woodstock, Vermont. Today is Sunday, April 11 th and the title of this morning’s reflection is Breath and Breathlessness—Reflections from the Long Road of My Healing. To all souls, I say, “Good morning. It is good to be together.” Maya Angelou proclaimed, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” The sacredness of life is measured not by time but by timelessness…by the experiences in life that leave us breathless. Maya Angelou was an artist. She was a poet. She was careful with her words, careful with her meaning…with her healing messages. Poems are like remedies. They are like a little games of words—combed and measured, braided in near-perfect rows. Corn, collard, ochre-green. Lean words, wise and healthy. Fresh and tender to the touch. Maya was a poet. She captured the sun-hot intimacy of living and reflected it back to us, as sunrise…as nebula, comet and constellation, as black hole and as supernova. She reminded us that there are many great struggles in life—between enslavement and real freedom, between greed and true ambition. She’d say, “The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious.

What Would Sipowicz Do? Race, Rights and Redemption in NYPD Blue
E D I T E D BY GLENN YEFFETH What Would Sipowicz Do? Race, Rights and Redemption in NYPD Blue BENBELLA BOOKS Dallas, Texas JEFFREY SCHALER Just One Sip for Sipowicz to Slip Like the New York background, Sipowicz’s alcoholism is a cen- tral, if not explicitly mentioned, aspect of NYPD Blue. Sipowicz is an alcoholic, and we all know what that means. Or do we? “Yee doe here but sippe of this cuppe, but then ye shall drinke up the dreggs of it for ever.” —JOHN PRESTON (Breastplate of Faith and Love) NDY SIPOWICZ, our lion-hearted, lily-livered, existential hero, is an “alcoholic.” Sipowicz is drunk in the very fi rst episode of Athe series and wrestles with his alcoholism throughout the en- tire run of the show. Sipowicz’s alcoholism has wrecked his marriage, destroyed most of his relationships and by the end of the fi rst episode is on the verge of ruining his career. Many people struggle with alcohol problems; these problems mani- fest themselves in many ways and are solved—or not—in an equally wide variety of ways. As an expert in the fi eld of addiction and drug policy, I’ve studied the various techniques problem drinkers use to ad- dress their drinking—and the effectiveness of these techniques. I’ll get to this later, but fi rst I want to discuss the most widely known approach to addressing alcohol problems: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). 63 64 • JEFFREY SCHALER AA has been so successful in popularizing its approach to heavy drinking that many people don’t even realize that its approach is only one of many.
