    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

    Norwescon 36 Post-Con Report 2014

    January Norwescon 36 Post-Con Report 2014 GOOD BYE NWC 36, HELLO NWC 37! As we wrap up Norwescon 36, I can only tell you how I feel. It was my first Norwescon as Chairman and I was nervous going into the con, but I can say with absolute conviction that we had a great con. The Norwescon ConCom is the hardest working group of volunteers that anyone could ask for. Both the execs that Brad and I had the honor of hand-picking and their staff worked hard and put on an excellent convention for everyone. It seems too little to just say, “thank you” for your hard work. We wouldn’t be the con we are without all of you. The chairman oversees everything, but there are some departments that are directly under the Chair. They are: Guest of Honor Banquet, charitable events, elections, Google administration, info manager, Phillip K. Dick Event, and EMP liaison. I had a great staff in charge of these and I want to thank them all for their dedicated work. Inside this issue: Ali Grieve picked a fabulous meal and put together the Guest of Honor Banquet on Thursday. People really liked the option to pick which Guest of Honor (GoH) they Art Show Report 2 sat with. Every GoH spoke and we gave them plaques to commemorate their time at Norwescon 36. We also had representatives from our charities speak. Phillip Buff Art Show Awards 3 was in charge of charitable events and he did a super job arranging for them to be at the dinner.
  • American Science Fiction and the Politics of Masculinity, 1965

    American Science Fiction and the Politics of Masculinity, 1965

    Making the Men of Tomorrow: American Science Fiction and the Politics of Masculinity, 1965 – 1974 By Jason Bruce James Bourget A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in English Language and Literature in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada Final submission November, 2016 Copyright © Jason Bruce James Bourget, 2016 Abstract Suggesting that the political diversity of American science fiction during the 1960s and early 1970s constitutes a response to the dominance of social liberalism throughout the 1940s and 1950s, I argue in Making the Men of Tomorrow that the development of new hegemonic masculinities in science fiction is a consequence of political speculation. Focusing on four representative and influential texts from the 1960s and early 1970s, Philip K. Dick’s The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch and Ubik, Robert A. Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, and Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed, this thesis explores the relationship between different conceptions of hegemonic masculinity and three separate but related political ideologies: the social ethic, market libertarianism, and socialist libertarianism. In the first two chapters in which I discuss Dick’s novels, I argue that Dick interrogates organizational masculinity as part of a larger project that suggests the inevitable infeasibility of both the social ethic and its predecessor, social liberalism. In the next chapter, I shift my attention to Heinlein’s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress as a way of showing how, unlike Dick, other authors of the 1960s and early 1970s sought to move beyond social liberalism by imagining how new political ideologies, in this case market libertarianism, might change the way men see themselves.
