  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

    LEADER COURAGE WHEN ADDRESSING PROBLEM BEHAVIORS IN AGRICULTURAL FRATERNITIES By JACK CAUSSEAUX A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2020 © 2020 Jack Causseaux To my friends, colleagues, family, and above all, to my future husband, Justin ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting and completing this dissertation has been an exciting, educational, and challenging project. I must acknowledge and thank many people that supported me along the way. I had several mentors, teachers, and cheerleaders throughout my education and particularly throughout my pursuit of this PhD. First I would like to thank the University of Florida as my employer for affording me the opportunity to pursue this degree. Very special gratitude goes to my boss, my colleague, my mentor, and my friend, Dr. Nancy Chrystal-Green. She gave me unwavering grace and patience as I worked full-time while also working to achieve this goal. Her frank, yet astute guidance and perception of me has always been welcome and enlightening. I want to thank my parents, Kevin and Annette, for raising me in an environment in which education was valued. They supported me emotionally and financially through this process, and they kept me grounded in knowing that this, too, could be achieved. My brother Alec, my sisters Kelly and Katie, my sister-in-law Amanda, and my brothers- in-law Cody and Alex all deserve my thanks, as well. They have been a loving and supportive family, especially through the years it has taken me to finish this dissertation and degree.

Depictions of gender roles in the media affect kids at all stages of their development, from preschool all the way through high school and beyond.
