  • University Microfilms International300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Hbcuse: Space-Making and Identity Performance on SU Campus
    HBCuse: Space-Making and Identity Performance on SU Campus Giselle Bookal Maxwell School | Geography Major Maxwell School | Environment and Society Minor Renee Crown Honors Program Class of 2020 1 Abstract This paper aims to explore the ways in which the performance of black racial identity manifests within the context of a predominantly white institution (PWI). I will analyze the ways in which hidden history and collective memory collude to create spaces that mitigate how identity is performed. I utilize a two-tiered approach in conducting this research in which I trace the forgotten histories of Syracuse University’s marginalized black student community and the current landscape of the HBCuse social grouping, primarily by tracing student organization involvement. I will explore how identity-performance within the restrictive climate of a PWI creates opportunities for autonomous space-making while also universalizing racial identity within these spaces and their interconnected framework. I will employ the concept of ‘blanket blackness’, a place-bound identity formulated by the selective incorporation of multiplicitous black sociocultural phenomenon that collude within a predominantly white space. I argue that this blanket blackness both provides a space for the holistic expression of black racial identity and excludes those who do not fall under its rigid stratifications. By utilizing a geographical approach that considers the importance of space, history, memory, identity and power within these developments, I aim to uncover the ways in which black students on this campus have successfully created enriching and substantial spaces for creative, personal and professional growth on a campus whose history has hinged upon accommodating us, not accepting us.

  • 9629 Filmfest Program.Indd
    FILM IN SYRACUSE 1 FILM IN SYRACUSE Special Letter From The Artistic Director, Owen Shapiro PEACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE is the focus of this year’s Syracuse International Film Festival. In 2009 Le Moyne College initiated a festival showcase of films dealing with the theme of Peace and Social Justice, and since that time has sponsored and hosted this showcase. In 2012 this theme takes on even greater significance in light of the death of Bassel Shahade, a Graduate student in Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts’ Film Program. Bassel was killed while training citizen journalists in his home country of Syria to document with video what was happening there. Bassel’s love for his people and desire to help them fight for political, social, and economic freedom led to his decision to take a leave from his studies in Syracuse. Bassel’s honesty, personal integrity, and love for peace and opportunity were acutely felt by all who knew him. He was a model fighter for peace and social justice. Peace and Social Justice when seen in terms of the individual’s right to equal opportunity and respect regardless of economic class, race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or religion also must include a person’s physical and/or mental abilities or disabilities. In this sense, peace and social justice includes another long-standing feature of our festival - Imaging Disability in Film, a program created by the School of Education at Syracuse University. Peace and Social Justice is about equality, fairness, and equal opportunity, basic values of all major religions and of all democratic societies.
