Addy, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Elsewhere, Then is a cross-generational road novel that traces the sociopolitical and personal narrative of a family through a musician making her way from Savannah to San Francisco. Traditional road narratives have long depicted the lone female traveller as being subject to violence when stepping outside the domestic sphere, which echoes history's larger and pervasive trend of denying women agency through silence and subjugation—in life, as in stories. The novel interrogates how (and by whom) narratives are created, embellished, changed, and/or discarded through the narrator's temporal and spatial journey.

Geek Cultures: Media and Identity in the Digital Age Abstract This study explores the cultural and technological developments behind the transition of labels like 'geek' and 'nerd' from schoolyard insults to sincere terms identity. Though such terms maintain negative connotations to some extent, recent years have seen a growing understanding that "geek is chic" as computers become essential to daily life and business, retailers hawk nerd apparel, and Hollywood makes billions on sci-fi, hobbits, and superheroes. Geek Cultures identifies the experiences, concepts, and symbols around which people construct this personal and collective identity. This ethnographic study considers geek culture through multiple sites and through multiple methods, including participant observation at conventions and local events promoted as "geeky" or "nerdy"; interviews with fans, gamers, techies, and self-proclaimed outcasts; textual analysis of products produced by and for geeks; and analysis and interaction online through blogs, forums, and email.

    WEBSITE . FACEBOOK . INSTAGRAM . TWITTER . BANDCAMP . YOUTUBE ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Listen to the new album: ‘Fantasizer’ WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘ANCHOR TO THE WORLD BELOW Boston electronic-pop group Freezepop release new album Fantasizer on October 6 ​ ​ Funded by the band’s dedicated fanbase through Kickstarter, the new Freezepop album Fantasizer finds the band back with their first LP since 2010’s Imaginary Friends ​ ​ Hi. Hello. How are you? Where are you? Are you looking for an escape? Are you looking for a new place to be? Are you simply looking? Allow us to introduce you to Fantasizer, the long-awaited new album from Freezepop. ​ ​ ​ ​ The Boston synth-pop band, fresh off their 20th anniversary, return with their fifth studio album, first new music in five years, and first new LP in 10 years (2010’s Imaginary Friends). An outlet ​ ​ for escapism at a time when we need it most, the 13-track Fantasizer is Freezepop’s most ​ ​ mature and emotionally textured album yet, exploring themes that weave into the duality of our lives: the ones we live in reality, and the ones that carry us through the oft-interrupted daydreams of life. Backed by a successful Kickstarter campaign and funded by fans, Fantasizer finds Freezepop ​ ​ reflecting the modern day — and being out of step, slightly, with our current reality. Fantasizer is about needing to be somewhere else, whether that's a hedonistic purgatory, or just ​ a new corner of comfort deep inside your own head. It is what happens when you know the 1 world is not meeting you where you had expected, instead preferring to create an altered pseudo reality.
