All I truly want from my undergraduate experience is to find inspiring, tough, compassionate, and intellectual mentors to learn from, listen to, and converse with. I am lucky and honored to have worked under your instruction this past year, as a student and an advisee. The time and effort you took to meet with me, read my drafts, and guide me through this process has taught me to think and write in a totally different (and better) way. Thank you for your labor, and for the numerous entertaining conversations. Many, many, many thanks to Professor Jessica Namakkal for your irreplaceable guidance this past year. Writing a thesis takes quite the toll, emotionally and physically, but your support throughout this entire process has kept me grounded and focused, and I am truly grateful for that. Thank you to Professor Sara Ababneh at the Center for Strategic in Amman, Jordan. Your lessons in October 2015 during the IHP Human Rights program was one of catalysts that sparked my passion for critical theory. Working as your research assistant the following summer at CSS was also essential to developing the intellectual

  • Recording As Heckling
    Recording as Heckling SCOTT SKINNER-THOMPSON* A growing body of authority recognizes that citizen recording of police of®cers and public space is protected by the First Amendment. But the judicial and scholarly momentum behind the emerging ªright to recordº fails to fully incorporate recording's cost to another im- portant right that also furthers First Amendment principles: the right to privacy. This Article helps ®ll that gap by comprehensively analyzing the First Amendment interests of both the right to record and the right to privacy in public while highlighting the role of technology in altering the First Amendment landscape. Recording information can be critical to future speech and, as a form of confrontation to authority, is also a direct method of expression. Likewise, efforts to maintain privacy while navi- gating public space may create an incubator for thought and future speech, and can also serve as direct, expressive resistance to surveillance regimes. As this Article explains, once the First Amendment values of both the right to record and the right to privacy are systematically understood, existing doctrineÐincluding the concept of the ªheckler's vetoºÐcan help restore balance between these sometimes-competing forms of ªspeech,º permitting citizen recording of police and allowing govern- ment regulation of certain recordings that breach the privacy shields of other citizens. Just as a heckler's suppression of another's free speech justi®es gov- ernment regulation of the heckler's speech, the government may limit the ability to record when recording (a form of speech) infringes on and pierces reasonable efforts to maintain privacy (also a form of expres- sion).

  • Acomparative Study of Middle English Romance and Modern Popular Sheikh Romance
    DESIRING THE EAST: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MIDDLE ENGLISH ROMANCE AND MODERN POPULAR SHEIKH ROMANCE AMY BURGE PHD UNIVERSITY OF YORK WOMEN‟S STUDIES SEPTEMBER 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance. In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be „other‟. Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast. The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness.
