ADVISORS: Professor Jennifer Mitchell and Professor Anastasia Pease This thesis investigates the physical and mental factors extremist religious organizations, such as the Westboro Baptist Church, Church of Scientology and Fundamentalist Mormonism use to decrease the chance of members’ departure from their institutions. These factors include familial relationships, physical and mental limitations, and restricted exposure to society outside of the religious organization. The following memoirs illustrate and expose these difficulties and how the female authors overcome these limitations: Educated by Tara Westover, Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape by Jenna Miscavige Hill and Unfollow: A Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church by Megan Phelps-Roper.

Contact: [email protected] The Last Gay Man on Earth Can the mainstreaming of a culture be responsible for its demise? by Muri Assunção My life-changing moment happened at the summer of 2016, at The Pavilion. The brighter-than-usual strobelights probably had something to do with it, I wasn't sure, but at that moment my entire gay life flashed before my eyes: the Madonna concerts, the weekends in South Beach, the passion fruit margaritas on 8th Avenue, the $950 pair of Dita sunglasses. I was in the middle of a dance floor full of shirtless muscled torsos, with still hours of friends, fun and fabulousness ahead of me. I also had a boyfriend whom I loved, and who loved me back—when did that ever happened? Besides, I still held on to my 29” waist, 43 years and counting, and I was not letting it go. My life was homo-textbook perfection. But still, something was missing. After spending the weekend listening to Daniel—the one who loved me back— make fun at the recent baby trend in the gay community that was taking over Fire Island (“by ‘watersports’ now, they mean ‘beach soccer’”), it suddenly hit me: the only thing better than holding a Puncher’s Punch cocktail at the island's legendary Tea Dance, would be to hold a newborn close to my chest, and to hear the words: “DADA.” I wanted to have a child.

  • The Closet Creature by Kelly Hashway
    Name: ______________________________________ The Closet Creature By Kelly Hashway Bump! Bump! Scratch! Adam opened his eyes and pulled the covers up to his chin. He stared around his room, searching the darkness for the thing that was making those scary sounds. The closet door moved as something banged on it from the inside. “Who’s there?” Adam asked in a shaky voice. The closet slowly began to open. Adam jumped out of bed and ran to the closet door, slamming it shut with his palms. He grabbed his desk chair and propped it against the door handle. Then he ran out of his room and down the hall. His brother’s door was wide open, and Adam jumped onto David’s bed. “Adam?” David asked in a groggy voice. “What are you doing in here?” Adam tugged on David’s arm. “There’s something in my closet!” “You probably had a bad dream. Go back to bed.” Adam yanked the blankets off the bed. “It wasn’t a dream. I was awake, and the closet door started opening by itself!” David sighed. “Fine. But when we don’t find anything, you have to promise to leave me alone for the rest of the night.” Adam nodded. David reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a flashlight. Then they headed to Adam’s room. Adam stopped in the Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com doorway. He could hear something scratching his closet door. “Do you hear that?” Adam asked. David nodded. He walked over to Adam’s bed and pulled the case off one of the pillows.

  • Keeping up with R
    Copyright 2006 Chicago Sun-Times, Inc. All Rights Reserved Chicago Sun Times April 23, 2006 Sunday Final Edition HEADLINE: Keeping up with R. Kelly BYLINE: Jim DeRogatis and Abdon M. Pallasch, The Chicago Sun-Times BODY: CONCERT PREVIEW R. KELLY When: 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday Where: Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State Sold out In December 2000, the Sun-Times first reported that Chicago R&B superstar R. Kelly has used his position of fame and influence to have sexual relationships with underage girls. Eighteen months later, on June 5, 2002, Kelly was indicted on charges of making child pornography after the newspaper received a videotape, which police say shows him having sex with a 14-year-old girl. Prosecutors and Kelly's defense lawyers have since spent a record-breaking 46 months in discovery and pre-trial motions for the case, which could land the singer in prison for up to 15 years if he is convicted. But a trial date still has not been set. Through it all, Robert S. Kelly's career has flourished. The 39-year-old singer sold a million copies of his last album, 2005's "TP3: Reloaded"; hit new heights with his epic "Trapped in the Closet" operetta, and is midway through the "R. Kelly as Mr. Show Biz in the Light It Up Tour," which brings him to the 3,400-capacity Chicago Theatre for two sold-out shows Wednesday and Thursday. "Robert believes in our system of justice, and he looks forward to his day in court," Kelly spokesman Allan Mayer said last week.

  • Christina Hogarth Thesis
    1 The End of Convenience: A Hip Hopera and Exegesis By Christina Hogarth Doctor of Philosophy 2017 1 2 ABSTRACT This practice-led PhD consists of a feature film screenplay titled ‘THE END OF CONVENIENCE’ and an exegesis that critically reflects on the process of creating the work and its related themes. The artefact explores the life and relationship challenges encountered by three unmarried young couples who are forced by finances and circumstance to co-habit in share accommodation. It also investigates some of the difficulties of youth cohabitation, such as economic and social marginalisation. The dialogue is constructed in rap. The screenplay interrogates the notion that sharehousing is both an individual and societal economic relationship of benefit, explores whether the relationships within sharehouses are constructed around convenience, and asks what happens to the lives of young people when they enter sharehouse arrangements. The exegesis analyses, critiques, and reflects upon the writerly choices made during the creation of the screenplay. It integrates discussion about these choices with questions around whether the musical genre of Hip Hop can be used to tell a story about urban marginalisation in an Australian domestic environment. It evaluates whether Hip Hop is an effective tool for social commentary when the subject of its storytelling is not the industries of the street or race related issues. It also uses the frame of Feminist Standpoint Theory as its central theoretical approach and applies it to questions and assumption around the role of gender, performance, and lived experience in Hip Hop, narratives of cohabitation, and to the debates around appropriation of cultural and musical forms.
