Targeted Violence and Public Security
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts REACTION RHETORICS: TARGETED VIOLENCE AND PUBLIC SECURITY A Dissertation in Communication Arts & Sciences by Bradley A. Serber © 2016 Bradley A. Serber Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 ii The dissertation of Bradley A. Serber was reviewed and approved* by the following: Rosa A. Eberly Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences and English Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Stephen H. Browne Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Jeremy Engels Associate Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Kirt H. Wilson Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Greg Eghigian Associate Professor of Modern History Denise Haunani Solomon Liberal Arts Research Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Head of the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores how members of various publics respond to “targeted violence,” a broad term that encompasses a variety of attacks in which an individual, pair, or small group attacks as many people as possible in a public place. Building upon Albert O. Hirschman’s The Rhetoric of Reaction and contemporary versions of classical stasis theory, the project develops an anatomy of arguments that people have made in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Isla Vista attack (#YesAllWomen). The chapter on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting advances the concept of a rhetorical void, which describes the space into which arguments about guns, mental illness, and school security disappear after conversations about them reach impasses.

AINISSA RAMIREZ BUILDING A BETTER PIPELINE SHARING SOLUTIONS 2016 “Sharing Solutions 2016: Building a Better Pipeline” brought together nearly one hundred dedicated representatives from higher-education, K-12 schools, industry, and the nonprofit sector to think collaboratively about changing the culture of STEM classrooms and careers. The conference was created through a unique collaboration between The Agnes Irwin School’s Center for the Advancement of Girls and The Franklin Institute intended to curate and engage thoughtful and transformative discussion around STEM education for all girls. The outcome of this partnership was a national discussion with key stakeholders, and, in April 2016, the Sharing Solutions conference held in Philadelphia to capture this discussion and plan for a direction forward. This white paper summarizes the proceedings of the conference, reviews and contextualizes the relevant academic research, and uses conference evaluation data to outline the “next steps” that we will take. Participants mingle before Dr. Wendy Hill, Head of School, the start of the conference. welcomes participants to the conference.
