Tre1even, UCLA Oral History Program, for the California State Archives State Government Oral History Program. Information California State Archives (916) 445-4293 March Fong Eu Research Room (916) 445-4293 1020 0 Street, Room 130 Exhibit Hall (916) 445-4293 Secretary of State Sacramento, CA 95814 Legislative Bill Service (916) 445-2832 (prior years) PREFACE On September 25, 1985, Governor George Deukmejian signed into law A.B. 2104 (Chapter 965 of the Statutes of 1985). This legislation established, under the administration of the California State Archives, a State Government Oral History Program "to provide through the use of oral history a continuing documentation of state policy development as reflected in California's legislative and executive history." The following interview is one of a series of oral histories undertaken for inclusion in the state program. These interviews offer insights into the actual workings of both the legislative and executive processes and policy mechanisms. They also offer an increased understanding of the men and women who create legislation and implement state policy. Further, they provide an overview of issue development in California state government and of how both the legislative and executive branches of government deal with issues and problems facing the state. Interviewees are chosen primarily on the basis of their contributions to and influence on the policy process of the state of California. They include members of the legislative and executive branches of the state government as well as legislative staff, advocates, members of the media, and other people who played significant roles in specific issue areas of major and continuing importance to California. By authorizing the California State Archives to work cooperatively with oral history units at California colleges and universities to conduct interviews, this program is structured to take advantage of the resources and expertise in oral history available through California's several institutionally based programs. Participating as cooperating institutions in the State Government Oral History Program are: Oral History Program History Department California State University, Fullerton Oral History Program Center for California Studies California State University, Sacramento Oral History Program Claremont Graduate School Regional Oral History Office The Bancroft Library University of California, Berkeley Oral History Program University of California, Los Angeles The establishment of the California State Archives State Government Oral History Program marks one of the most significant commitments made by any state toward the preservation and documentation of its governmental his­ tory. It supplements the often fragmentary historical written record by adding an organized primary source, enriching the historical information available on given topics and allowing for more thorough historical analysis. As such, the program, through the preservation and publica­ tion of interviews such as the one which follows, will be of lasting value to current and future generations of scholars, citizens and leaders. John F. Burns State Archivist July 27, 1988 This interview is printed on acid-free paper.

The term is woven deep into our language as well as our consciousness. Consider the connotations of homemade and homespun. Home can offer refuge from the hostile world, or it can be a prison. People living together inevitably — sometimes intentionally — rub one another the wrong way. This chafing provides writers with rich material for art. (Remember, without conflict there is no story.) Are these writers working through their own failed relationships with mothers, fathers, and siblings? Sometimes. Are they exploring their conflicted feelings toward a home they left behind? Maybe. Are they holding up a mirror that allows us to see our own homes and families in a new light? Most certainly. Though the trappings of Happy families are all alike; home and family differ across every unhappy family is unhappy cultures, human families have in its own way. much in common. Legend has it that a man from Czechoslovakia, — Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina after watching a production of August Wilson’s Fences (set in Pittsburgh in the 1950s), approached the playwright and asked him, “How did you know about my family?” Wilson may not have known that particular man’s family, but he knew about families and how the sins of the Getty Images / father play out in the lives of sons.

  • Singing While Female: a Narrative Study on Gender
    SINGING WHILE FEMALE: A NARRATIVE STUDY ON GENDER, IDENTITY & EXPERIENCE OF FEMALE VOICE IN CIS, TRANSMASCULINE & NON-BINARY SINGERS by Felix Andrew Graham Dissertation Committee: Professor Hal Abeles, Sponsor Professor Jeanne Goffi-Fynn Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 13 February 2019 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2019 ABSTRACT SINGING WHILE FEMALE: A NARRATIVE STUDY ON GENDER, IDENTITY & EXPERIENCE OF FEMALE VOICE IN CIS, TRANSMASCULINE & NON-BINARY SINGERS Felix Andrew Graham This study explored the personal narratives of six AFAB (“assigned female at birth”) singers – three cis and three trans/non-binary performers of varying ages, ethnicities and locales – to understand how their experiences informed their musical, vocal and gender identities and shaped their musical and vocal lives. Using semi-structured interview process, the singers recounted their memories and understanding of significant events in their development, and together, each singer and I explored those recollections through a process of collaborative self- exploration. Emerging themes from those narratives underscored the need for further investigation into the intersection of AFAB voice, singing and gender, as both existing literature and the results of this study suggest a deeper understanding of the issues around gender socialization, normative expectations and voice is ii necessary to appropriately and effectively prepare singers at all levels of their musical and vocal education. Study results found that there are many sources of socially-mediated influences which shape AFAB singers’ development of self, their individual and social identities, and their perceptions of their voice – particularly in the context of normative expectations that define gender and gender identities.

  • The Bluest Eye
    OceanofPDF.com Contents Title Page Dedication Foreword The Bluest Eye Autumn Winter Spring Summer About the Author Also by Toni Morrison Acclaim for Toni Morrison Copyright OceanofPDF.com To the two who gave me life and the one who made me free OceanofPDF.com Foreword There can’t be anyone, I am sure, who doesn’t know what it feels like to be disliked, even rejected, momentarily or for sustained periods of time. Perhaps the feeling is merely indifference, mild annoyance, but it may also be hurt. It may even be that some of us know what it is like to be actually hated—hated for things we have no control over and cannot change. When this happens, it is some consolation to know that the dislike or hatred is unjustified—that you don’t deserve it. And if you have the emotional strength and/or support from family and friends, the damage is reduced or erased. We think of it as the stress (minor or disabling) that is part of life as a human. When I began writing The Bluest Eye, I was interested in something else. Not resistance to the contempt of others, ways to deflect it, but the far more tragic and disabling consequences of accepting rejection as legitimate, as self- evident. I knew that some victims of powerful self-loathing turn out to be dangerous, violent, reproducing the enemy who has humiliated them over and over. Others surrender their identity; melt into a structure that delivers the strong persona they lack. Most others, however, grow beyond it.

  • Lawrence Weiner
    ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Lawrence Weiner Columbia Center for Oral History Research Columbia University 2015 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Lawrence Weiner conducted by Brent Edwards on May 6, 2015. This interview is part of the Robert Rauschenberg Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. Transcription: Audio Transcription Center Session #1 Interviewee: Lawrence Weiner Location: New York, New York Interviewer: Brent Edwards Date: May 6, 2015 Q: It’s May 6, 2015. I’m Brent Edwards and I’m happy to be here with Lawrence Weiner, who’s agreed to talk about Bob Rauschenberg and the downtown art scene in the sixties and seventies. We can be freewheeling and go in any direction you’d like to go in. The idea behind the project, generally, is not solely to provide a biography of Rauschenberg, but to think about the worlds of Rauschenberg. It’s obvious enough that one of the first things to say about Rauschenberg is that he’s in some ways the preeminent artist of his generation who moved in multiple networks. So that’s the idea. Weiner: It’s about ambiance and about the mise-en-scène that he dreamt of making and made. Q: Right. Weiner: The major problem was that Rauschenberg was one of the few people who could maintain his own romantic sense of where he came from and at the same time be totally aware of where he is.
