VEEP SEASON 6 Premiering Wednesdays from April 26 at 8.30Pm Media Release: Thursday, April 13 2017 VEEP SEASON 6 Premiering Wednesdays from April 26 at 8.30pm or stream instantly on Foxtel Play From Wednesday, April 26 at 8.30pm, Foxtel will present the sixth season of the HBO award-winning comedy series Veep starring Emmy® winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, the former Vice President and onetime President, who looks to secure her legacy now that she’s out of office. The acclaimed comedy takes a sharp, satirical look at the insular world of politics, following the day-to-day existence of the former VP and onetime President Selina Meyer. Season 6 picks up one year after the events of Season 5, in which Selina ultimately lost a Senate vote to resolve the Electoral College tie. Now out of public office for the first time in years, Selina seeks to secure her legacy and find her place in the world, while much of her staff pursues endeavors of their own. A perennial favorite with fans and critics, this 10-episode season of Veep finds this band of misfits attempting to make their mark, while navigating the political landscape in Washington and beyond. Veep has received seven Golden Globe nominations since its debut in 2012, and has won a total of twelve Primetime Emmys®, including three 2016 Emmys® for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Louis-Dreyfus). In addition to five Emmy® wins, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has also received four Golden Globe nominations for her role as Selina Meyer. Lauded for her work on Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Saturday Night Live and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Louis-Dreyfus recently guested on Inside Amy Schumer and received a 2014 Golden Globe nomination for her role in the feature film Enough Said, with James Gandolfini. Veep’s ensemble cast includes Tony Hale (two-time Emmy®-winner for this role) as Selina’s devoted bodyman Gary; Anna Chlumsky (Emmy®-nominated) as Amy, her on-again, off-again right-hand woman; Matt Walsh (Emmy®- nominated) as former spokesperson Mike; Reid Scott (My Boys) as the uber-ambitious Dan; Timothy C. Simons (The Interview) as Congressman Jonah Ryan; Sufe Bradshaw (Rizzoli & Isles) as Selina’s former assistant Sue; Kevin Dunn (True Detective) as former chief of staff Ben; Gary Cole (Emmy®-nominated) as analyst Kent; and Sam Richardson (Office Christmas Party) as new staff member Richard. Recurring guests include Sarah Sutherland (The Newsroom) as Selina’s daughter Catherine and Clea DuVall (American Horror Story) as Catherine’s girlfriend Marjorie. Additional guests appearing this season include Margaret Colin (Gossip Girl), Amy Brenneman (The Leftovers), Paul Scheer (The League) and British comedian Stephen Fry. Created by Armando Iannucci, S6 of Veep is executive produced by David Mandel, Frank Rich, Chris Godsick, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lew Morton, and Morgan Sackett, with Mandel returning as showrunner for a second season after sharing the Emmy® for Outstanding Comedy Series in his first season.

  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

  • Hbo Premieres All New Series Girls and Veep
    HBO PREMIERES ALL NEW SERIES GIRLS AND VEEP  Miami, July 9, 2012 – HBO Latin America announced that Girls and Veep, two new original comedies, will premiere on July 23. The first episode of both productions will be available on www.hbomax.tv after they air onscreen. Girls is a comedy directed by Lena Dunham, the up-and-coming filmmaker and actor, who also stars in the series. Veep stars Emmy®-award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has starred in popular series like Seinfield and Curb your Enthusiasm.  Created and led onscreen by Lena Dunham, Girls takes a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of women in their early 20s living in New York City. The series, which has already been renewed for a second season, focuses on the girls’ adventures in post-collegiate floundering.  A fresh and intimate look at friendship, relationships and self-discovery, Girls is a contemporary coming-of-age show that packs humor, farce and poignancy into each episode. Through four distinct characters, who may seem unlikely friends to some, Girls shines through as a voice of the post-recession generation who can hardly afford lunch, let alone Manolos. In addition to Lena Dunham as the anxious, rumpled Hannah, the cast of Girls includes Jemima Kirke as the beautiful Jessa, allergic to all things bourgeois; Allison Williams as Marnie, Hannah’s uptight roommate with strict rules about their best-friendship; Zosia Mamet (Mad Men) as Shoshanna, an NYU student and Jessa’s self-help obsessed roommate and cousin; and Adam Driver (HBO’s You Don’t know Jack) As Hannah’s love interest, Adam.

  • Subject: Neuropsychology and the New Tea Party Terrorism
    Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:15:58 -0500 To: "Dr. Baruch Fischhoff" <[email protected]> From: Lloyd Etheredge <[email protected]> Subject: Neuropsychology and the new Tea Party Terrorism Dear Dr. Fischhoff and Associates: I write to discuss a further application of the new neuropsychology/ hierar- chical psychodrama models to predicting terrorism: We have a domestic example of hierarchical psychodramas and such causal links to terrorism being promoted among the political Right in the US. They por- tray the federal government as the growing menace. Yesterday, we just had another predictable consequence - the second attack against a federal installation (the Pen- tagon) this year, following the murder-suicide of Andrew Stark III who flew his airplane into the IRS office in Austin last month. We're seeing the logic that is engaged by hierarchical psychodramas of cold, omnipotent persecutors.<1> Earlier, responsible members of the political Right and news media toned down their rhetoric that was vividly creating this experience of reality, after it pro- duced the Oklahoma City bombing against another federal building that killed 168 people. Applying these neuropsychology models: I think that we may be seeing the beginning of Tea Party terrorism. This time, there is a more complicated institu- tional relationship with the Republican Party, which may be less able to control what, earlier, stirred-up and passionately motivated their base for Republican in- stitutional purposes. <2> I attach a recent column by Frank Rich, "The Axis of the Obsessed and De- ranged," (from The New York Times of 2/28/2010) who also connects the dots in this way.
