  • The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21St Century Stand-Up
    The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.

BOYER* History never repeats itself, but it rhymes. -Mark Twain I. INTRODUCTION American business has crossed, with little celebration, an economic watershed. As of this decade, 53 percent of the equity in American cor- porations has passed into the hands of institutional shareholders: public pension funds, private pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, foundations, and managed trust funds.' In the nation's largest fifty companies, institutional investors own 50.1 percent of outstanding shares. In the next largest fifty companies, they own 59.2 percent of the shares. In some leading industries, the concentration is higher: 56 percent of the aerospace industry, 59 percent of the electrical industry, and 61 percent of the transportation industry.

    Preface Every year in May, a group of diverse and eminent personali- ties from all over the world embark on a journey to the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Here, the International Students’ Committee (ISC) seeks to realise its vision of a top- level intergenerational and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas by bringing together the global élite of entrepreneurs, business leaders, politicians and scientists with a cross- Dr. Josef Ackermann Chairman of the section of gifted young students at the St. Gallen Symposium. Board of Trustees St. Gallen Foundation for International During the “3 Days in May”, today’s leaders and those of the Studies future are invited to savour the “St. Gallen Spirit” by discours- ing and interacting with their peers, mentors and successors from around the globe, by expounding or hearing uncon- ventional ideas in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere that stimulates mutual trust with the common objective of considering and developing solutions to the key issues of our time. Over the past years, it has been my privilege to be involved in the evolution and growing success of this distinguished and unique initiative. It is with great pleasure that I encourage you to join me in constructive debate and open dialogue at the St. Gallen Symposium. “The entire event, which attracts top business leaders for three days in May each year, is not only put together and run by students. It has also become an occasion for propagating entrepreneurial ideals and boosting the morale of Europe’s businessmen.” The Wall Street Journal “It is a very powerful way of putting forward and introducing ideas.” BBC “The Swiss St.

  • You Looking at Me, Looking at You: BREXIT Britain and the World
    You looking at me, looking at you: BREXIT Britain and the World Tuesday 16 May, 2017 St Antony’s College, University of Oxford You looking at me, looking at you BREXIT Britain and the World Preamble Following the invocation of Article 50 in March, and in the run-up to the General Election in June, the ongoing debate on Brexit has begun to intensify. Both sides to the discussions are poised to delineate their opening negotiating positions regarding Britain’s departure from the EU and the reconfiguration of Britain’s economic and political relationship with Europe. The Political Economy of Financial Markets (PEFM) Programme at St Antony’s College is collaborating with the Global Strategy Forum (GSF) in the organization of two high-level Conferences, on May 16 in Oxford and on 14 June in London, to consider the options and implications of Brexit, from the perspectives of the United Kingdom, the rest of Europe and the rest of the world. The two Conferences will look specifically at four perspectives on Brexit: i) how the UK expects its relationship with Europe to change, ii) how the UK hopes to engage with the rest of the (non-European) world, iii) how the world might respond to this (unforeseen) European divorce, and iv) how the Europeans themselves see Brexit, both in terms of the new relationship which will need to be forged with the UK, and in terms of the implications for the EU itself. The first (full) day Conference (open to all subject to registration) will be hosted by St. Antony’s College at the Nissan Lecture Theatre on 16 May, 2017 and will cover the first three (of the four) perspectives outlined above.
