Welcome Dear Readers, It’s true that you’re holding the academic year’s last issue; but we’d rather think of it as next year’s fi rst issue. We’re already working ahead and setting the course for another big year for 2010-2011. Our new chief editor, Jonathan Miles, has an ambitious plan for the Spectator. He already has an A-Team staff of writers, editors and designers who have put this issue together. For me, it’s farewell. As editor this past year I’ve had a challenging and exciting experience, as well as one of the greatest learning opportunities of my life. I can easily say that leading the Spectator has been equal to an extra year of college education. Th e lessons I have learned will stay with me throughout my career. I have to thank the Spectator staff of 2009-2010 for all their hard work, long hours and, most of all, for bearing with me through rewrites and redesigns. I know all our work has paid off . We’ve built a news media institution that has won a loyal audience of readers like you. I’m confi dent that this magazine will continue to live up to its reputa- tion of bringing you the stories that inform, surprise and make you think. Sincerely, Joe Wirtheim Editor-in-Chief 2009-2010 Some of the fun covers from this year’s Spectator. News What Now, ASPSU? Another year down. ASPSU made promises, but what did they accomplish?

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Thalia Zepatos dated September 6, 2016.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2004-2019. 2277. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd/2277 THEMATIC PATTERNS IN MILLENNIAL HEAVY METAL: A LYRICAL ANALYSIS by EVAN CHABOT B.A. University of Florida, 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Sociology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2012 ABSTRACT Research on heavy metal music has traditionally been framed by deviant characterizations, effects on audiences, and the validity of criticism. More recently, studies have neglected content analysis due to perceived homogeneity in themes, despite evidence that the modern genre is distinct from its past. As lyrical patterns are strong markers of genre, this study attempts to characterize heavy metal in the 21st century by analyzing lyrics for specific themes and perspectives. Citing evidence that the “Millennial” generation confers significant developments to popular culture, the contemporary genre is termed “Millennial heavy metal” throughout, and the study is framed accordingly.

Furthermore, Lemonade centers black life while presenting mainstream audiences with poetry and avant-garde imagery that challenge dominant views of black womanhood. Using theorists bell hooks, Stuart Hall, Patricia Hill- Collins and Audre Lorde, among others, I argue that Beyoncé’s work challenges the understanding of artistic production while simultaneously fitting within a long tradition of black feminist cultural production.

A mentor in every sense of the word, Jodie Hertzog embodies the very nature of adviser; her council was very much appreciated through the course of my study. v ABSTRACT “Girl Power!” is a message that parents raising young women in today’s media- saturated society should be able to turn to with a modicum of relief from the relentlessly harmful messages normally found within popular music. But what happens when we turn a critical eye toward the messages cloaked within this supposedly feminist missive? A close examination of popular music associated with girl empowerment reveals that many of the messages found within these lyrics are frighteningly just as damaging as the misogynistic, violent, and explicitly sexual ones found in the usual fare of top 100 Hits.

  • 'Being in Love': an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Young Australians' Romantic Experiences
    ‘BEING IN LOVE’: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Young Australians’ Romantic Experiences Ler Ping Wee (Levan) orcid.org/0000-0001-6840-8561 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 School of Social and Political Sciences UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE Abstract Romantic love touches and guides the intimate worlds of people every day. My thesis seeks to examine a popular experiential substrate of many Western romantic relationships – specifically, the feeling of ‘being in love’. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this small- scale idiographic study focuses on the lives of four young Australians – all of whom profess to be in ‘truly loving’ partnerships with their ongoing beloveds. Multiple in-depth face-to-face interviews conducted over three years are the prime source of experiential data collection. My main research goal is to discover the shared qualities / meanings that interviewees themselves regard as defining facets of ‘being in love’. Inductive questions concerning their self-experiences, orientations towards partners, and other related existential enquiries are also explored. Key findings suggest interviewees’ ‘ideal’ or optimal states of loving are primarily composed of coalescing perceptions of self-growth, friendship, attraction, altruism, and reciprocity. By contrast, ‘unideal’ or impoverished states of ‘being in love’ occur amidst sustained declines in one or more of these thematic experiences. Both ideal and unideal conditions are crucial to shaping their overall impressions of ‘real love’. As per the directives of IPA research, all the above discoveries are examined in richly hermeneutic and phenomenological terms. Mark Johnson’s philosophy of embodiment is also applied – in particular, his notions of image schemas and non-dualistic processes of meaning-making.

  • The Irreplaceable Role of Planned Parenthood Health Centers
    The Irreplaceable Role of Planned Parenthood Health Centers Planned Parenthood is a leading provider of high-quality, affordable health care for women, men, and young people, and the nation’s largest provider of sex education. Planned Parenthood health centers provided millions of people in the U.S. with contraception, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), lifesaving cancer screenings, and safe, legal abortion. At least one in five women has relied on a Planned Parenthood health center for care in her lifetime. • In 2018, Planned Parenthood health centers saw 2.4 million patients. Its centers provided nearly 5 million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections; more than 265,000 breast exams; more than 255,000 Pap tests; and birth control to nearly 2 million people. • Planned Parenthood leads the country with the most up-to-date medical standards and guidelines for reproductive health care and uses clinical research to advance health care delivery to reach people in need of care. • Fifty-seven percent (57%) of Planned Parenthood health centers are located in rural or medically underserved areas. Planned Parenthood health centers provide primary and preventive health care to many who otherwise would have nowhere to turn for family planning services. • More than one-third (39%) of Planned Parenthood patients are people of color, with more than 541,000 patients who identify as Latino and nearly 395,000 patients who identify as Black. • Of Planned Parenthood patients who report their income, nearly 75 percent live with incomes at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL), and almost 60 percent of Planned Parenthood patients access care through the Medicaid program and/or the Title X family planning program.
