Rudman, Chair R. Mason Bunker, Member Bailey Jackson, Dea School of Education ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my family, for their love and encouragement enabled me to complete this project. Charles and Theresa Waite, my parents, nurtured my sense of wonder and competence. Charles, my husband, joined with me and supported me in balancing caring for the family with cultivating a career. I especially want to thank Charles for reading and editing the dissertation. Andrew, our son, provided me with joy, and Anne and Deborah, Charles' daughters, gave me a reason to continue growing and learning. I extend my warm appreciation to friends who provided tangible and intangible encouragement. My dearest friend, Sharon Thulliard-Rohrs, shared conversation, childcare, and celebrations with me. Michele Dufresne, a fellow graduate student, reviewed my proposal and gave me concrete suggestions for improving it. I would like to thank Bruce Levin for generously providing me with a laser printer so I could print the dissertation. These concrete gestures are overt signs of the kind of love and support that ultimately undergird our real accomplishments. Next I would like to thank the members of my comprehensive and dissertation committees. Dr. Patt Dodds, Dr. Gretchen Rossman, Dr. Richard Konicek, and Dr. R. Mason Bunker read my drafts, advised me, and guided me through the dissertation process. A special thanks to Drs. Patt Dodds and Gretchen Rossman who carried on dialogue with me through iv print and gave me very specific feedback on my writing and my work. I especially want to thank Dr. Masha Rudman for her insights, thoughtful advising, and generosity. The monthly support group for graduate students that Masha offered in her own home and on her own time enabled me to receive her excellent guidance. The forum also enabled me to share with and learn from other graduate students. Lastly, I want to acknowledge the tremendous contributions made by the professor and the graduate students who participated in the research project. Without their open and generous support the dissertation would not have been possible. v ABSTRACT A SOCIOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPANTS CO-CONSTRUCTING THE LEARNING CONTEXT IN A GRADUATE-LEVEL SEMINAR MAY 1992 MARY LOUISE WAITE REARICK B.S. Ed., FRAMINGHAM STATE COLLEGE M. Ed., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, AMHERST Ed. D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, AMHERST Directed by: Professor Masha K. Rudman This dissertation describes and analyzes how participants in one gender-informed graduate-level seminar socialized each other through joint construction of the learning environment and the learning. The research was conducted in two phases. First an ethnographic approach was used for collecting data over the course of the year in a graduate-level women's history seminar. Using ethnographic methods, I worked out an analysis of the learning environment—in particular the expectations of the professor, the motivations of participants, subject matter, and organization of space and activities. The second phase of the research used sociolinguistic methodology to arrive at an analysis of how the participants co-constructed the learning in a gender-informed collaborative classroom. vi Reviews of research on gender and graduate-level teaching and learning, constructivist and social constructivist learning theory, and learning processes in gender-informed classrooms formed the theoretical framework for the dissertation. Particularly relevant were studies which examined gender-balancing processes and constructivist perspectives in graduate-level learning. The study contributes to our understanding of how participants in a gender-informed seminar socialized each other and jointly constructed meanings. When the professor provided gender-informed subject matter to men and women who were willing to learn, then men and women became more conscious of the workings of gender in their own lives. In addition, the social context in the classroom became more supportive across gender lines. Through discussions alone, consciousness can be raised, but it is through collaborative work and group dialogue on individual projects that new understandings are integrated and demonstrated in written work and in social behavior.

  • Gyn/Ecology the Metaethics of Radical Feminism
    GYN/ECOLOGY THE METAETHICS OF RADICAL FEMINISM MARY DALY Beacon Press : Boston : 1978 N.B. Transcript omits footnotes and citations. PREFACE This book voyages beyond Beyond God the Father. It is not that I basically disagree with the ideas expressed there. I am still its author, and thus the situation is not comparable to that of The Church and the Second Sex, whose (1968) author I regard as a reformist foresister, and whose work I respectfully refute in the New Feminist Postchristian Introduction to the 1975 edition. Going beyond Beyond God the Father involves two things. First, there is the fact that be-ing continues. Be-ing at home on the road means continuing to Journey. This book continues to Spin on, in other directions/dimensions. It focuses beyond christianity in Other ways. Second, there is some old semantic baggage to be discarded so that Journeyers will be unencumbered by malfunctioning (male-functioning) equipment. There are some words which appeared to be adequate in the early seventies, which feminists later discovered to be false words. Three such words in BGTF which I cannot use again are God, androgyny, and homosexuality. There is no way to remove male/masculine imagery from God. Thus, when writing/speaking “anthropomorphically” of ultimate reality, of the divine spark of be-ing, I now choose to write/speak gynomorphically. I do so because God represents the necrophilia of patriarchy, whereas Goddess affirms the life-loving be-ing of women and nature. The second semantic abomination, androgyny, is a confusing term which I sometimes used in attempting to describe integrity of be-ing.

    Sitcom Citizenship: Civic Participation within Postwar Suburban Sitcoms, 1952-1972 A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael Cheyne IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Kevin Murphy and Laurie Ouellette May 2014 © Michael Cheyne 2014 i Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance of my advisers at the University of Minnesota, Kevin Murphy and Laurie Ouellette, as well as the other members of my thesis committee, Tracey Deutsch and Elaine Tyler May. Through the years of researching and writing, they gave me feedback, guidance, and above all, encouragement. In particular, I thank Kevin, who, as my initial graduate adviser, helped shepherd me through life as a doctoral candidate. I also acknowledge the very helpful feedback provided by my peers in the dissertation writing group led by Kevin Murphy and Regina Kunzel during the 2011- 2013 academic years. Their varied suggestions, praise, and criticism were especially helpful during the formative years of turning years of research into a workable thesis. My fellow graduate students within the American Studies program were unfailing in their personal and professional support. My colleagues at the University of Minnesota-Morris, particularly within the history discipline, were extremely supportive to me during my final two years working on this project. They provided time and funding to assist my research and the presentation of my work. I am particularly thankful for their cheerful willingness to support a colleague during a year of teaching and writing. Finally, I thank my family, friends, and church family, who provided years of love and support while I finished this project.

  • The Alt-Right, Art, and Archaeology
    Classicizing Identity: The Alt-Right, Art, and Archaeology A Senior Thesis Nina Angileri Bryn Mawr College Undergraduate Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology B.A. Candidate ‘19 Professor A. A. Donohue Ph.D, Advisor May 2019 Introduction Angileri 1 “Already our ancestors thousands of years ago knew what happens when women are given voting rights and are allowed into parliaments.” If this archaic statement were not prefaced by the assertion that the “Ancient Greeks were pretty woke,”1 one might mistake it for the opinion of an early twentieth-century anti-suffragist. These quotations, in fact, come from the recently leaked chat messages of Identity Evropa,2 a white-nationalist organization designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Identity Evropa publicly presents itself as an “identitarian” group whose mission is to advocate for white “identity” and “heritage” through non-violent activism. The internal dynamics of the group, however, reveal the particular strain of virulent racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism that has come to characterize the alt- right in America. In addition to providing numerous concrete examples of the hate-filled ideology that pervades Identity Evropa, the leaked chat messages highlight another of the group’s defining characteristics: its manipulation of the classical past in order to intellectualize its reactionary worldview. User Steve-NJ posted “Ancient Greeks were pretty woke” along with a screenshot of 1 Generally, to be “woke” carries a positive connotation, indicating that one is socially or politically aware of such oppressive structures as racism and sexism, as well as their detrimental effects. In this context, however, the author intentionally misuses the term, suggesting that the ancient Greeks were “woke” for denying women the right to vote and participate in government.

The organization uses litigation, law reform, and public education to bring about legal change and awareness, and to push for substantive equality for women and girls. In the spring of 2019, LEAF launched its Feminist Strategic Litigation (FSL) Project – a project to assess the impact of its past litigation work, and develop a five-year plan for litigation moving forward. To plan its future litigation work, LEAF needs to know: 1. What are the key issues facing women and girls across Canada? 2. How do we assess the impact of feminist strategic litigation? The first question was examined in the companion report “National Needs Assessment Survey for Women and Girls in Canada”.
