  • The People's Pr: Public Relations, Occupy Wall
    THE PEOPLE’S PR: PUBLIC RELATIONS, OCCUPY WALL STREET, AND THE STATUS QUO By CAMILLE REYES A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies Written under the direction of Dr. Todd Wolfson and approved by ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The People’s PR: Public Relations, Occupy Wall Street, and the Status Quo by CAMILLE REYES Dissertation Director: Dr. Todd Wolfson This dissertation presents a case study of the New York City based Press Relations Working Group (Press WG) of Occupy Wall Street (OWS), the 2011 social movement that advocated for economic justice in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The inquiry explores the group’s practices of public relations in order to understand how they and other stakeholders co-constructed meanings concerning social justice at the time. The semi-structured interviews with former group members, public relations practitioners in their own right, as well as select work product (e.g. press releases) and internal documents are analyzed through the circuit of culture (Du Gay, et al., 2013). A theory stemming from Cultural Studies, the circuit of culture framework affords sharper understandings of power relations and processes of making meaning—of which public relations is a part. The case study data reveal at least six findings related to four themes concerning governance, professional and amateur practices, social media usage, and diversity of representation.

  • Drafted Its Post-Apartheid Constitution, the United
    Unequal Liberty and a Right to Education Helen Hershkoff & Nathan Yaffe1 This article lays the groundwork for a liberty-based right to quality public schooling. We start from the premise that Black, Brown, and poor children now and historically have never enjoyed equal liberty in the United States, and that, for these children, the public school, like the prison, functions as a site of social control that relies upon confinement and force while failing to fulfill their pedagogic purpose. In urging a liberty-based argument, we rest on the foundational principle that the state cannot deprive a person of liberty without a legitimate justification. Notwithstanding this foundational principle, thousands of children in the United States are confined in public schools that do not meaningfully educate and instead function as unsafe and harmful warehouses for the children detained within them. Having first unequally apportioned educational opportunity, the state then compels certain children to attend carceral schools on pain of civil or criminal penalties. The confinement experienced by Black, Brown and poor students within resource-starved, carceral public schools serves to maintain and reproduce race- class subjugation within a system of racial capitalism. We argue that, examined within the frame of abolition constitutionalism, the traditional guarantee of equal liberty is violated if the content and conditions of public schooling relegate one group of children, because of race and/or class, to sub-standard and unsafe schools, subjecting them to persistent structural disadvantage. In our view, such a system unconstitutionally perpetuates the very kind of racial and class caste that the Fourteenth Amendment aimed to abolish.
