  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

    Moors, Mulattos, and Post-Racial Problems: Rethinking Racialization in Early Modern England by Kyle C. Grady A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Awkward, Co-Chair Professor Michael C. Schoenfeldt, Co-Chair Professor Tiya A. Miles Professor Valerie J. Traub Kyle C. Grady [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-2725-8127 © Kyle C. Grady 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have found more dedicated mentors than I have in my co-chairs, Michael Awkward and Michael Schoenfeldt, each of whom promised to advise this dissertation before I took my first class at the University of Michigan. This project is the result of countless lunches with Michael Awkward and innumerable conversations with Michael Schoenfeldt. For the last six years, Michael and Mike have been constant sources of wisdom, motivation, and support. Michael Awkward fostered the experimental aspects of this project with his incisive and innovative intellect. I could not be more grateful for his guidance in challenging times, which made all the difference. Mike Schoenfeldt’s erudition and enthusiasm deeply enriched each of this project’s investigations. His prowess as a scholar is matched only by his commitment as a teacher and advisor, and I have benefitted immensely from his endless encouragement through the highs and lows of this process. I have been incredibly fortunate in having Valerie Traub and Tiya Miles on my committee. Valerie provided invaluable feedback on every aspect of this project. Her careful attention to her students’ work and encyclopedic knowledge of early modern studies is a source of inspiration.
