I started my position in July of 2015, but by early 2015 I knew I was coming to Gen- eseo as I had already been named President-elect; I just hadn’t started yet. So, I visited Geneseo specifically to attend GREAT Day in April 2015. I recieved an advance per- spective because I had heard so much about the event, and I was not disappointed. I was delighted that I had that opportunity. In terms of specific changes we’ve certainly had an increase in the number of presenters; we’ve crested the 1,000 mark, which I don’t believe we were at in 2015. I would say the variety of presentations has expanded as well, and that’s a good thing. It shows the wide range of interests our students have. I suppose one other change is that—unlike when I came here in 2015 and my knowl- edge of the students was obviously very limited and likewise the faculty and staff — now when I attend GREAT Day I know the people who are mentoring and working so closely with the students, and I can see the trajectory of the scholarly and creative works as these mentors continue their efforts with a new group of student scholars. So, it’s delightful to see that progress because I know the people. What do you look forward to at GREAT Day? There are relatively few institutions that have such a priority on undergraduate re- search that they will carve a precious full day out of their academic term to dedicate to highlighting it. Fortunately, Geneseo is one of those institutions. I enjoy the ex- citement that accompanies the event; it’s just a different vibe. It’s toward the end of the academic year, so it’s sort of a culminating scholarly piece. I really appreciate the excitement; I get to observe the passion that the student participants have in high- lighting their work. So that’s really what I look forward to, is to get to be a participant in all that. What impact does undergraduate research have on Geneseo’s culture and on higher education in general? One of Geneseo’s points of pride is that our learning is not limited to the confines of a classroom. We support our students in their efforts to integrate learning across a variety of disciplines, across academic and co-curricular areas, but also to apply it. Un- dergraduate research is an excellent way to apply what students learn in the classroom, 1 Published by KnightScholar, 2019 13 2 The ProceedingsProceedings of GREAT of Day GREAT 2018 Day, Vol. 2018 [2019], Art. 30 and it enables students to take something that reflects a piece of scholarly interest, whether it’s creative work or lab research or field research, whatever it might be, to pursue something that really fuels their creativity. At a campus like Geneseo, we are fortunate because we are primarily an undergraduate institution, our students have opportunities they might not have at schools that are larger or have a large graduate population. Our students in physics get to work on a Pelletron accelerator, it’s such a rarity that students get such a quality scholarly opportunity; in a graduate or research institution, it would be the graduate students who have those opportunities. So, it really positions our students for whatever comes next, whether it’s graduate school— and I think in part our level of undergraduate research is the reason why we have such a high placement rate of students who go on to graduate school—or whether they’re looking to go right into employment post-Geneseo.

  • Surveillance, Social Order, and Gendered Subversions
    SURVEILLANCE, SOCIAL ORDER, AND GENDERED SUBVERSIONS IN BATMAN COMICS, 1986-2011 by © Aidan Diamond (Thesis) submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts Department of English Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2017 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador !ii ABSTRACT Batman is “the world’s most popular superhero.”1 An icon of American excep- tionalism, Batman has been featured in radio programmes, television shows, musicals, and more films than any other superhero since his 1939 comic book inception. While Batman has also been the subject of more scholarship than any other superhero, sustained scholarly inquiry of his vigilante infrastructures and their effects upon those Batman deems criminal is scarce; instead, critical readers prefer to interrogate his fascist under- tones. This thesis aims to ameliorate this lack of scholarship by interrogating Batman’s regulatory surveillance assemblage, particularly how it is negotiated and subverted by Barbara Gordon/Oracle and Selina Kyle/Catwoman. Using Foucault’s theories of crimi- nality, Lyon’s articulation of surveillance, Haraway’s cyborg hybridizations, Mulvey’s deconstruction of the gaze, and Butler’s and Tasker’s respective conceptualizations of gender, I argue that female characters problematize and complicate the otherwise unques- tioned authority of Batman’s surveillance assemblage in the 1986-2011 DC continuity. 1 “Batman Day Returns!” DC Comics. 14 June 2016, www.dccomics.com/blog/2016/06/14/batman-day- returns. Accessed 16 July 2017. !iii Acknowledgements This project owes its existence to a great many people who supported and encour- aged me throughout the process, asked insightful and necessary questions, took the time to read early chapter drafts, let me take the time to pet dogs and read non-Bat-comics, and were just generally the best friends a thesis-writer could hope for.

In a way, the early issues of the book give off a youthful sort of Spider-man feel to them.

  • Abstract the Gendered Superhero
    i ABSTRACT THE GENDERED SUPERHERO: AN EXAMINATION OF MASCULINITIES AND FEMININITIES IN MODERN AGE DC AND MARVEL COMIC BOOKS Jennifer Volintine, M.A. Department of Anthropology Northern Illinois University, 2016 Kendall M. Thu, Director This thesis examines American gender concepts of masculinity and femininity depicted in six Modern Age superhero comic books. Specifically, it examines how the American gender concepts of hegemonic masculinity, hypersexualized masculinity, emphasized femininity, and hypersexualized femininity are depicted in three Marvel and three DC comic books. This examination found that despite gender differences defined by biological essentialism that legitimates gender inequality, female and male superheroes are much more alike than different through what I term ―visionary gender.‖ Also, it examines indicators of gender not previously examined in American superhero comic books. In particular, it examines the text of superhero comic books to demonstrate that language use in comic books is gendered and that female superheroes use interruption as a way to control and dominate male superheroes in conversation. In addition, two viewpoints within the comic book subculture are examined: the comic book readers and the comic book artists. It addresses the readers‘ interpretation of gender depicted in a selection of images illustrating superhero characters‘ bodies and it observes the artists‘ intention in illustrating superhero characters with respect to gender. i NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY DE KALB, ILLINOIS AUGUST 2016 THE GENDERED SUPERHERO: AN EXAMINATION OF MASCULINITIES AND FEMININITIES IN MODERN AGE DC AND MARVEL COMIC BOOKS BY JENNIFER VOLINTINE ©2016 Jennifer Volintine A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY Thesis Director: Kendall M.

  • Captain Cannabis No. 3 (YOYO Edition)
    CAPTAIN TM PRESS RELEASE CANNABIS [email protected] | [email protected] WWW.CAPTAINCANNABIS.COM | WWW.OKEE.COM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 4/20/2021 Contact: Verne Andru - [email protected] / [email protected] IT’S ALL FUN & GAMES WITH CAPTAIN CANNABIS NO. 3 YOYO EDITION VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA: Comic book artist Verne Andru today announced the next in his on-going Captain Cannabis® series complete with companion YOYO toy. Captain Cannabis No. 3 is a thirty-two page comic-book featuring twenty-four pages of all new Captain Cannabis story and art plus an eight-page stoner- friendly YOYO Player’s Guide. The Captain Cannabis® 420 YOYO, supplied with fixed and slip strings, is a comfy wooden ball YOYO, laser engraved with the iconic Captain Cannabis® 420 shield. Picking up the story from Captain Cannabis 1 & 2, this new issue finds lead character Hal Lighter isn’t the only one frantically searching for the glowing joint that turns him into superhero Captain Cannabis. Titled YOYO, No. 3 reveals the joint is part of a stash of intragalactic weed that escaped from the ‘47 Roswell crash and “they” want it back. “I had a ton of fun with this issue. It starts bridging my Captain Cannabis and 420 comic books, bringing some characters to life 20 years earlier. I’ve really enjoyed de-aging them and working between the different time periods,” Verne enthuses. As for the YOYO Verne adds, “As this issue came together I couldn’t pass up doing the real thing. Story-wise, they’re 1970s-period-correct low-tech-cool but you have to know how to use them, so I made a stoners’ Player’s Guide with topics like Superstoner Mode and tricks like Chill Out and Keep Truckin’.

  • Emerald Dawn the Series.Pdf
    By H. M. ‘Dain’ Lybarger Powered by the SMALLVILLE RPG This is an exercise in ‘what if’: What if the WB spun off a Green Lantern themed series from Smallville? The constraints are set as if this were going to be an actual TV series, so despite the galaxy-spanning source material, all of the action will have to be set on Earth. The original Smallville show bible said “no tights, no flights”. We will definitely allow flying, but the no spandex rule will be adhered to! Costumes will be thematically-colored ‘normal’ clothes, or glowing energy-sheaths that manifest when necessary. We will be giving the ‘Smallville’ treatment to some iconic GL characters, but sticking to the current ‘Brightest Day / Darkest Night’ version of the continuity for inspiration. It’s all rather Roswell-like, in fact (and, as an aside, the Smallville RPG would be great for a Roswell-inspired campaign). Going through the Pathways for the Leads is a little like scripting the pilot for the series. This is an exercise more like the creation of the ‘Season Nine’ extended example in the rulebook than like the setup for an actual campaign, in that we are intentionally twisting things to resemble the existing source material – but the result could be used as-is to kick off a convention scenario, or as the seed of a full campaign. The Leads Our first Lead is teenage Hal Jordan, a ‘troubled youth’ who grew up without a father. He’s the best video-game pilot in the world, but his mom doesn’t want him to become a real pilot – her late husband was a test pilot who died in a fatal crash.
