SOCIAL AND CULTURAL STATUS OF JEWS IN THE SOVIET SOCIETY BEFORE AND AFTER THE WAR Despite undergoing numerous revisions, neither the Soviet Constitu- tion nor the Soviet Criminal Code ever adopted any laws or regulations that openly or implicitly permitted persecution of or discrimination against members of any minority group.1 On the surface, the laws were always structured to promote and protect equality of rights and status for more than one hundred different ethnic groups. Since November 15, 1917, a resolution issued by the Second All-Russia Congress of the Sovi- ets called for the “revoking of all and every national and national-relig- ious privilege and restriction.”2 The Congress also expressly recognized “the right of the peoples of Russia to free self-determination up to seces- sion and the formation of an independent state.” Identical resolutions were later adopted by each of the 15 Soviet Republics. Furthermore, Article 124 of the 1936 (Stalin-revised) Constitution stated that “[f]reedom of religious worship and freedom of anti-religious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.” 3 1 See generally W.E.

  • Aristotle Meets Apple: Rhetoric in the Podcast”
    “Aristotle Meets Apple: Rhetoric in the Podcast” By Anna Butrico An Undergraduate Honors Thesis presented to the faculty of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS in ENGLISH April 24, 2016 Thesis Advisor: John Clayton Second Reader: Haerin Shin Program Director: Teresa Goddu Instructions for Reading and Listening: This thesis is a multimedia project that has both written and audio components. The introduction and conclusion to the thesis are podcasts themselves, and there are sound bites within the thesis that showcase the podcasts discussed. Refer to the “Butrico Introduction Podcast” MP3 file to hear the introductory podcast, work through the “Sound Bites for Chapter 1 – 3” folders to listen to the bites embedded within the piece, and refer to the “Butrico Conclusion Podcast” file to hear the conclusion. 1 Introduction: Listen to “Butrico Intro Podcast” Chapter I Engaging Listeners in Problem Solving: Deliberative Rhetoric in the Podcast Mrs. Thompson stands on stage at a University of Michigan conference in 2004, holding a letter in her hands. Her shaky voice belies her strength and focused intentions, as she leans her sixty-year old body over the microphone to speak. “Dear Miss Buchanan,” her voice rings out, slowly reading a letter that fired an African American teacher from the local school system. Mrs. Thompson’s words unroll a profound social paradox: the integration of White students into Black schools after the Brown v. Topeka Board of Education verdict illogically caused an increased segregation of Black teachers. This policy (that had large and lasting unintended consequences) is one of the many examples of deliberative rhetoric that the podcast Revisionist History addresses.

  • WTH Is Going on with the Retreat from Afghanistan? Amb. Ryan Crocker On
    WTH is going on with the retreat from Afghanistan? Amb. Ryan Crocker on withdrawal, and the consequences for US national security Episode #115 | September 1, 2021 | Danielle Pletka, Marc Thiessen, and Amb. Ryan Crocker Danielle Pletka: Hi, I'm Danielle Pletka. Marc Thiessen: I'm Marc Thiessen. Danielle Pletka: Welcome to our podcast, What the Hell Is Going On? Marc, what the hell is going on? Marc Thiessen: I've never been more disgusted in my life with what's happening with what America is doing than I am right now watching the last planes leaving Kabul, leaving behind American citizens, thousands of Afghans who risked their lives to help us, the blood of 13 dead Americans and hundreds of Afghan civilians. It is the most shameful thing I have witnessed in my entire career in Washington. I'm shifting between absolute abject pain and rage as I watch this happen. Dany, what are your thoughts? Danielle Pletka: It is the worst thing in the world that a country like ours, we've suffered defeats, we've made mistakes, we've done terrible things. Never, I hope willfully, but by mistake, we've done terrible things. And we have betrayed allies before. We've not done enough for people who need us. We've let down the Kurds in Iraq, we've let down the Syrian people, but we have never actually gone in and rescued a group of people who in turn sacrificed all for us and for our security as Afghans did, because make no mistake, we were not in Afghanistan for the Afghan people.

    Unbound, a book launch series co-presented by BAM and Greenlight Bookstore, returns this spring with Morgan Parker in conversation with Jenna Wortham—Feb 15 Unbound: Morgan Parker In conversation with Jenna Wortham Moderated by Rujeko Hockley Launch of There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé Feb 15 at 7:30 pm BAM Fisher (Fishman Space), 321 Ashland Pl $25 (ticket only); $35 (includes book) January 10, 2017 / Brooklyn, NY—Unbound: A Book Launch Series with BAM and Greenlight Bookstore returns this spring with nationally acclaimed poet Morgan Parker for the release of There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé. On February 15, Parker will discuss the book with writer and journalist Jenna Wortham, moderated by Rujeko Hockley, assistant curator of contemporary art at the Brooklyn Museum. Morgan Parker uses political and pop-cultural references as a framework to explore 21st- century black American womanhood. Equally confessional and performative, her poems and essays mine the complexities of depression, sexuality, and race to create an archive of experiences and representations. Writer Jenna Wortham also explores black femininity and imagery, focusing on technology, wellness, and community. Her work investigates methods of collective healing and sharply challenges stereotypes. With moderator Rujeko Hockley, Parker and Wortham will discuss Parker's new collection of poems, using visual art, media, and American history as lenses for understanding the multiplicity of black womanhood. The event will include a reading from There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé, a discussion, an audience Q&A, and a book signing with Morgan Parker. About the Artists Morgan Parker is the author of Other People’s Comfort Keeps Me Up At Night (Switchback Books 2015) and There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé (Tin House 2017).

  • ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON's RESPONSE to the LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an Examination
    ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON’S RESPONSE TO THE LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an examination of gender, politics, and media during the time of the Lewinsky scandal, this project shows that conversations about the first lady shifted throughout 1998. Just after the allegations were made public, the press and American people fought against the forthright position that Hillary took; the expectations of traditional first ladies they had known before were not met. After facing backlash via the press, the first lady receded to more acceptably defined notions of her actions, based largely in late 20th century conservative definitions of appropriate gender roles. By the end of 1998, consideration of a run for the Senate and increased public support for her more traditional image provided a compromise for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s public image. Having finally met the expectations of the nation, the press spoke less of the first lady in comparison to family values and almost exclusively by means of her political abilities.

Instead, Mr. Cruz, a former Stoneman Douglas High student, carried out his carnage by walking down the hallways of the freshman building and taking aim at students and teachers trapped in the corridors or locked sharing inside classrooms. Several times, he returned to victims he had already wounded to shoot them dead. In This Issue That was the chilling narrative that law enforcement provided on April 24, 2018, in a minute-by-minute animation of Mr. Cruz’s movements through the school, the first time the police made public a detailed timeline Parkland Gunman of the gunman’s actions inside the building. The animation, played for members of a Florida commission investigating the mass shooting, showed that the gunman had time to pursue victims on all three floors of the Carried Out Rampage building during his six-minute rampage. Without Entering A Single Classroom At no point during the shooting did police officers enter the building or engage the gunman, even though there was an armed deputy from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office outside less than two minutes after the shooting ‘Active Shooter’ Video began, and several other officers heard gunfire after they arrived.
