  • The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21St Century Stand-Up
    The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.

  • The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board
    5 The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board Raymond A. Mohl Now concluding its fifty-second year, the Dade County Community Relations Board has had a fascinating and sometimes controversial histo­ ry. The CRB idea generally emerged in the postwar era in the context of a national discourse on race, ethnicity, and religion. The Dade County CRB’s founders drew on an important set of ideas known at the time as the “human relations agenda”—ideas developed during World War II and shaped by social science research and conceptualization focused on countering racial prejudice and religious bigotry. In the postwar period, metropolitan Miami experienced a rising level of racial, ethnic, and reli­ gious strife. Although the nation’s top tourist destination in 1950, the Miami area remained deeply southern in its racial attitudes and political culture. The Ku Klux Kian was riding high in the postwar years. Racial tension, street-level violence, arson, even dynamite bombs marked racial­ ly changing neighborhoods in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as African Americans began breaking out of the racially zoned areas that had kept them confine since the early years of the twentieth century. The large postwar Jewish migration to Miami from northern cities—8,000 Jews resided in metro Miami in 1940, rising to 140,000 in 1960—triggered overt anti-Semitism in hotels, clubs, housing, and employment, as well synagogues and Hebrew school bombings. Not surprisingly, Miami entered the postwar era with no human relations tradition. However, some Miamians who thought deeply about such things believed in the promise of the human relations agenda to overcome racial conflict and create a new sense of civic unity.

The following day the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said to the assembled news media: “We are here to say to the white men that no longer will we let them use clubs on us in the dark corners. We’re going to make them do it in the glaring light of television.” Dr. King’s words give context to how television has served as the vehicle that not only highlighted the crucial moments of the civil rights movement, but also African-American achievements across all creative endeavors. The Paley Center for Media will celebrate these historic moments in African- American Achievements in Television: A Black History Month Spotlight Presented by Citi.

  • Coronavirus Equity Considerations
    Coronavirus Equity Considerations Coronavirus Equity Considerations The Imperative for Civil Rights Advocacy, Monitoring, and Enforcement A widely impactful public health crisis is upon us. The tentacles of its impact are many and pervasive, from social, to economic, to environmental implications. As a civil rights organization and as stewards of human rights, this outbreak calls on us to maintain vigilance and lift our voices to demand the policies and practices that will preserve the wellbeing of all. Already we’ve seen many equity and justice challenges that must be addressed before they worsen and cause further damage. We must recognize and stand up against racial/ethnic discrimination and stereotyping. Our federal, state and local governments must ensure necessary policies and practices are in place, so that needed information, training, resources, and care are available equitably and reach all people in all communities. As we think about the upcoming Census and elections, the novel coronavirus pandemic underscores the ongoing need to push for affordable, quality health care coverage; a well- trained, diverse health care and medical research workforce; and accessible sources of care (hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers) for all. At this same time, even as we advance changes in response to what’s before us now, we must examine the systemic inequities that have exacerbated impact and ensure that we begin to enact transformational societal shifts to address the root causes of vulnerabilities and systems failure. KEY CONSIDERATIONS: I. Racism and stigmatization have increased, particularly towards the Asian and Asian American population. a.
