  • Research Essay for Eckles Prize for Freshman Research Excellence I
    Research Essay for Eckles Prize for Freshman Research Excellence I first thought of my research topic when several of the girls in my hall decided to watch the movie Brokeback Mountain and were met with a response from fellow residents that was anything but subtle. With reactions of disgust from the boys, condemning the film as “gay porn,” and accusing rebuttals from the girls as they pointed out the boys’ fascination with “Girls Gone Wild,” the exchange begged several questions about our American culture. Why is female homosexuality attractive, while male homosexuality is regarded with disgust by particular audiences? Why is the acceptance of homosexuality limited to overtly sexual encounters, as implied by my peers’ reaction, and discludes the realm of lifetime/serious relationships, as represented in the film? How widespread are these patterns and points of view and what is the media’s role in this? As you will soon see, this was by no means the final direction my project went, but merely a jumping off point for a greater project, which for me was one of the most intellectually stimulating experiences of my academic career. These questions and the ones they inspired opened my eyes not only to a discipline that examined different interpretations of sexuality, identity, and acceptance in ways in which I had never explored, but also a new approach to analyzing the world around me. As described above, my original idea was to explore how the media has shaped the dominant culture’s view of homosexuals through an examination of the film Brokeback Mountain , its subsequent reviews, and the effect it has had on “typical” American perceptions of male and female homosexuality.

  • Police Abuse and Misconduct Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People in the U.S
    United States of America Stonewalled : Police abuse and misconduct against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the U.S. 1. Introduction In August 2002, Kelly McAllister, a white transgender woman, was arrested in Sacramento, California. Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies ordered McAllister from her truck and when she refused, she was pulled from the truck and thrown to the ground. Then, the deputies allegedly began beating her. McAllister reports that the deputies pepper-sprayed her, hog-tied her with handcuffs on her wrists and ankles, and dragged her across the hot pavement. Still hog-tied, McAllister was then placed in the back seat of the Sheriff’s patrol car. McAllister made multiple requests to use the restroom, which deputies refused, responding by stating, “That’s why we have the plastic seats in the back of the police car.” McAllister was left in the back seat until she defecated in her clothing. While being held in detention at the Sacramento County Main Jail, officers placed McAllister in a bare basement holding cell. When McAllister complained about the freezing conditions, guards reportedly threatened to strip her naked and strap her into the “restraint chair”1 as a punitive measure. Later, guards placed McAllister in a cell with a male inmate. McAllister reports that he repeatedly struck, choked and bit her, and proceeded to rape her. McAllister sought medical treatment for injuries received from the rape, including a bleeding anus. After a medical examination, she was transported back to the main jail where she was again reportedly subjected to threats of further attacks by male inmates and taunted by the Sheriff’s staff with accusations that she enjoyed being the victim of a sexual assault.2 Reportedly, McAllister attempted to commit suicide twice.

  • FY19 Annual Report View Report
    Annual Report 2018–19 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 6 Season Repertory and Events 14 Artist Roster 16 The Financial Results 20 Our Patrons On the cover: Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes a bow after his first official performance as Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director PHOTO: JONATHAN TICHLER / MET OPERA 2 Introduction The 2018–19 season was a historic one for the Metropolitan Opera. Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.

The articles and questions and activities are designed to give an insight into the play’s beginnings; the play’s context within the Matthew Shepard murder; and the play as a theatrical work. Rather than being an analysis of the text, these notes are aimed at providing information which will lead to an exploration of the issues, process and ideas which form The Laramie Project . 1 1. Company B Belvoir The originality and energy of Company B Belvoir productions arose out of the unique action taken to save the Nimrod Theater building from demolition in 1984. Rather than lose a performance space in inner city Sydney, more than 600 arts, entertainment and media professionals formed a syndicate to buy the building. The syndicate included nearly every successful person in Australian show business. Company B is one of Australia’s most prestigious theater companies. Under the artistic leadership of Neil Armfield, the company performs in major arts centers and festivals both nationally and internationally and from its home, Belvoir St Theater in Surry Hills, Sydney.
