TO: THE PENN STATE GREATER ALLEGHENY COMMUNITY Welcome, the end of 2020. Are you as tired of this year as we are? Come on. We know you are. Just say so. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken away a portion of our lives this year and we can’t get it back. It has been all encompassing in our lives since March. No matter where we go or who we speak to, it is always with us. From our own mixed modality classes to the little blank boxes on our ZOOM screens to where we live and to wherever we drive or shop, it has been there. Hard to forget it when it was always in our face...or perhaps always in our “face” masks. But we want to forget it, even though we have covered it extensively in the pages that are about to follow. Have we learned anything this year? What has this year taught us, in between the frustration of rearranging our lives and the anger that we may have faced when friends and relatives came down with the virus or perhaps when someone close to us died from the virus? It has taught us to instead look ahead and find the light of hope that we all so desperately need: The hope of a new vaccine that will soon eradicate this virus... The hope of the normalcy we all long for... The hope of a renewed American democracy... The hope for new leadership with a new president and vice president... The hope for a new decade, free from racial and social inequality... The hope that we find our old friend common sense is really alive and well somewhere and returning... The hope we can return to our beloved Greater Allegheny campus, to walk down the sidewalk along University Drive and to meet our friends in the SCC over a slice of pizza and a cold soft drink... without masks. Here’s hoping that you and your families take care, stay safe and be well for the holidays and the new year. As author and educator Parker Palmer wrote: “We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” Be well with change everyone, and focus on new hope for the new year.

  • Transgender Representation on American Narrative Television from 2004-2014
    TRANSJACKING TELEVISION: TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION ON AMERICAN NARRATIVE TELEVISION FROM 2004-2014 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Kelly K. Ryan May 2021 Examining Committee Members: Jan Fernback, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Media and Communication Ron Becker, External Member, Miami University ABSTRACT This study considers the case of representation of transgender people and issues on American fictional television from 2004 to 2014, a period which represents a steady surge in transgender television characters relative to what came before, and prefigures a more recent burgeoning of transgender characters since 2014. The study thus positions the period of analysis as an historical period in the changing representation of transgender characters. A discourse analysis is employed that not only assesses the way that transgender characters have been represented, but contextualizes American fictional television depictions of transgender people within the broader sociopolitical landscape in which those depictions have emerged and which they likely inform. Television representations and the social milieu in which they are situated are considered as parallel, mutually informing discourses, including the ways in which those representations have been engaged discursively through reviews, news coverage and, in some cases, blogs. ii To Desmond, Oonagh and Eamonn For everything. And to my mother, Elaine Keisling, Who would have read the whole thing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the research and writing of this dissertation, I have received a great deal of support and assistance, and therefore offer many thanks.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

ANSWER: John C. Reilly 2. On the tour to promote this album, its artist required that the opening act's lead singer not have blonde hair. Much was made of the band's decision to feature keyboards more prominently on this album, their sixth. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts, held from the top spot by Michael Jackson's Thriller to which the band's guitarist had contributed. It spawned four top 40 singles including I'll Wait, Jump, and Hot for Teacher.

Although stocks and bonds continue to change hands on Wall Street, the true centre of corporate power in America has moved to Midtown East. In this area you'll find the Citibank's, the Madison Avenue advertising agencies, the multinational law firms, the Trump Towers, the Bloomingdales department stores and deluxe shops such as Gucci. You'll have a hard time finding truly budget restaurants and hotels in this area. Lower Manhattan What New Yorkers still call downtown or Lower Manhattan refers to the downtown of the 19th century in the Wall Street area at the southern tip of Manhattan Island. This area has been undergoing revitalization, especially with older commercial buildings being converted into deluxe condos. When the Dutch ruled Manhattan, Wall Street was indeed a wall used to protect the colonists from the indigenous peoples. South of Washington Square in Greenwich Village, you'll find the old downtown, the Wall Street area, the site of what remains of the World Trade Centre complex, a growing Chinatown due to robust immigration, Little Italy, the trendy SOHO (South of Houston), TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal), and NOHO (North of Houston) areas, where many of the "in" clubs and restaurants are, and large areas of public housing and abandoned warehouses and factories.
