Black Widows: Battered Mothers Who Kill
Black Widows: Battered Mothers Who Kill Jay Berta Klyman Submitted under the supervision of Rebecca Shlafer-Nealy to the University Honors Program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science magna cum laude in Authentic Community Engagement. May 12, 2016 Summary The following paper examines battered mothers who kill their abusers. Through estimation, we find that this population is made up of 16,000 women who are presently incarcerated in the United States. Research examines the cases of Artiesha Love and Natalie Pollard, two mothers in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area who allegedly murdered their abusers. Through media analysis of over 15 sources, it is clear that the media lacks an understanding of domestic violence in the cases of battered mothers who kill. Turning to existing research, it is clear that very little research has been done around the role of motherhood. Of the literature examined, no previous research has done to make sense of how motherhood might affect a woman’s decision to kill or not kill her abuser. There is hope when it comes to case studies such as the Sin by Silence bills and documentary in California, and the #SayHerName component of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The issue of battered mothers who kill their abusers intersects with police brutality, racial disparities, and the criminalization of people of color and the movement to end domestic violence. Introduction Our cultural narrative in the United States around domestic violence brings to mind a woman and her children, bruised and bloodied sitting in a battered women’s shelter. -

Mass Shootings and Social Media Discourses of Sympathy and Policy
Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication Whose Lives Matter? Mass Shootings and Social Media Discourses of Sympathy and Policy, 2012–2014 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jcmc/article-abstract/24/4/182/5489530 by guest on 07 August 2019 Yini Zhang1, Dhavan Shah1, Jordan Foley1, Aman Abhishek1, Josephine Lukito1, Jiyoun Suk1, Sang Jung Kim1, Zhongkai Sun2, Jon Pevehouse3, and Christine Garlough4 1 School of Journalism & Mass Communication, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA 2 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA 3 Department of Political Science, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA 4 Department of Gender and Women’s Studies, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA This study focuses on the outpouring of sympathy in response to mass shootings and the contesta- tion over gun policy on Twitter from 2012 to 2014 and relates these discourses to features of mass shooting events. We use two approaches to Twitter text analysis—hashtag grouping and super- vised machine learning (ML)—to triangulate an understanding of intensity and duration of “thoughts and prayers,” gun control, and gun rights discourses. We conduct parallel time series analyses to predict their temporal patterns in response to features of mass shootings. Our analyses reveal that while the total number of victims and child deaths consistently predicted public griev- ing and calls for gun control, public shootings consistently predicted the defense of gun rights. Further, the race of victims and perpetrators affected the levels of public mourning and policy debates, with the loss of black lives and the violence inflicted by white shooters generating less sympathy and policy discourses. -

Since then, 12 more spree killings have claimed the lives of another 90 random victims and wounded another 92 people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time when deranged and well-armed killers suddenly burst upon their daily lives. -

Elizabeth Koepping* Underlying this essay is the issue of contextualisation and inculturation in every context and every country of this world, whether the self- actualising, blessed-by-wealth-and-happiness congregations of the meritocratic American Mid-West or the various congregations here discussed. An intentional, elite-controlled contextualisation easily risks the retrospective worship of culture. Where this includes unequal relationships between men and women, it sanctifies a profound and even salvific difference between males and females. Wives, be subject to your husband as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife. (Eph, 5: 22-23) I hate divorce, says the Lord the God of Israel, and covering one s garment with violence.

Bishops United Urges Assault Weapons Ban, Prayers of Lamentation
Dear Diocesan Family - I am posting below the statement from the group Bishops United Against Gun Violence, which we issued this past Friday regarding the horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida. "Bishops United" is an association of approximately 70 bishops in The Episcopal Church and I am a charter member of that group. It is clear that a statement along the lines of what we have released in the wake of past mass shootings is no longer satisfactory or sufficient. Such tragedies as these must never be permitted to lapse into what could easily be seen as routine. This is why we are calling for specific action steps. Please give this statement your every consideration and your deepest prayers as our nation tries to come to terms with the awful reality of gun violence besetting our society during these times. Of course, we welcome your circulating this statement as widely as possible. With the very courageous - and most impressive - response from the students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, we may be turning a corner with respect to the public's response to this particular shooting. We can certainly hope and pray, but it is my hope that we will do much more than that. Surely there are some concrete steps that can be debated and passed by the U.S. Congress. And perhaps these action steps will make something of a difference. The status quo with respect to guns in our society and culture must not be allowed to stand! Faithfully yours, Bishops United Urges Assault Weapons Ban, Prayers of Lamentation The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school.
