NOT OK, BOOMER: Polarization or an Epidemic of Gullibility? “Americans need to call on Boomers, The admittedly ageist meme “OK, Boomer” rose to prominence in late 2019, first on TikTok, in their next act onstage, to behave then in the UK parliament to mock attitudes presumed to be associated with people born like grown-ups.

The phrase knowingly exploits the irony of baby better way for them to do this than boomers critiquing younger generations for being idealist and utopian, but also expresses to guide young people to lives of an exhaustion with having to “inherit ever-amplifying problems in an ever-diminishing greater meaning, effectiveness, and window of time”, according to one British parliamentarian who used the term in the House purpose.” of Commons.

Three Essays on Civil Associations in America A
THREE ESSAYS ON CIVIL ASSOCIATIONS IN AMERICA A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Justin D. Rattey, M.A. Washington, D.C. April 22, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Justin D. Rattey All Rights Reserved ii THREE ESSAYS ON CIVIL ASSOCIATIONS IN AMERICA Justin D. Rattey, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Richard Boyd, Ph.D. ABSTRACT My dissertation includes three articles united by a focus on the normative value of civil associations. In the first article, I offer a novel interpretation of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s political theory. Emerson sometimes proclaims radical individualism and a deep antagonism to associational living. Other times—especially in the context of abolitionism and reformism—he urges solidarity and even personally embraces membership in associations. Juxtaposing Emerson’s political theory with that of Alexis de Tocqueville, I argue that we can understand Emerson as a unified, democratic political theorist through an appreciation of his consistent embrace of what I describe as extra-associational moral authority. Through both his apolitical and his political writings, Emerson consistently appeals to a source of moral authority beyond society. The second article focuses on two values underlying the Supreme Court’s Freedom of Association jurisprudence: associational freedom and equal access. While associational freedom justifies a right of associations to exclude unwanted people (such as the Boy Scouts’ right to exclude gay scoutmasters), equal access demands greater inclusion in associations (for example, by requiring that the Jaycees admit women). -

“Leave Your Men at Home:” Autonomy in the West German Women's
“Leave Your Men at Home:” Autonomy in the West German Women’s Movement, 1968-1978 by Bailee Maru Erickson B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2008 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History Bailee Maru Erickson, 2010, University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee “Leave Your Men at Home:” Autonomy in the West German Women’s Movement, 1968-1978 by Bailee Maru Erickson B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. Tom Saunders, Supervisor (Department of History) Dr. Oliver Schmidtke, Departmental Member (Department of History) iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Tom Saunders, Supervisor (Department of History) Dr. Oliver Schmidtke, Departmental Member (Department of History) This thesis examines “autonomy” as a political goal of the West German women’s movement from its beginning in 1968 to 1978. As the central concept of the movement, autonomy was interpreted and applied in women’s groups and projects through a variety of organizational principles. The thesis takes case studies of different feminist projects. Successive chapters examine the Berlin Women’s Centre; Verena Stefan’s novel Shedding, the women’s press Frauenoffensive, and the women’s bookstore Labrys; and the periodicals Frauenzeitung, Courage, and Emma. These studies show that autonomously organized projects were characterized by the expression of an anti- hierarchical ethos. The Berlin Women’s Centre organized itself around collective decision making and self sustainability. Women’s writing and publishing projects established an alternative literary space. -
