This dissertation explores examples of how transgender cultural production can highlight less visible transgender narratives already in circulation by examining the Amazon Prime television show, Transparent, and self-representations of transmasculinity across the Instagram hashtag #ftm and a 90-week Tumblr blog about gender transition entitled Trans Canada (My Way). This dissertation illustrates how these examples both adhere to and resist dominant discourses about transness in an effort to move beyond discerning between good and bad representation and instead to lobby for more and different transgender representation. Using the frameworks of critical transgender studies, media studies, queer theory and creative nonfiction, this dissertation explores the process of telling transness and considers how individuals use self- respresentation to exact agency over how their transgender identities and bodies are spoken of and for.

  • Exploring Homelessness and Housing Insecurity in Chelsea, MA
    Boston University MetroBridge Report: Exploring Homelessness and Housing Insecurity in Chelsea, MA Authors This report is a compilation of the work completed by Boston University graduate students in the Sociological Research Methods course instruct- ed by Assistant Professor Jessica Simes during the Fall 2018 semester. The content was compiled and edited by Stuti Das, PhD candidate in Sociol- ogy, and reviewed by Emily Robbins, MetroBridge Program Manager and Associate Professor David Glick, MetroBridge Faculty Director. This report was designed by Yufei Weng, master’s candidate in Graphic Design. Acknowledgments The MetroBridge program at Boston University’s Initiative on Cities wishes to thank our collaborators in the City of Chelsea for their assistance on this project, in particular: Tom Ambrosino, Chelsea City Manager; Luis Prado, Director of Health and Human Services; and Jessica Kahlenberg, Innovation and Strategy Advisor. We are also grateful for the service providers, city staff, and residents in Chelsea who participated in the interview process for this project. MetroBridge MetroBridge is a new Boston University program that empowers students across the university to tackle urban issues, and at the same time, helps city leaders confront key challenges. MetroBridge connects with local governments to understand their priorities, and then collaborates with Boston University faculty to translate each city’s unique needs into course projects. Students in undergraduate and graduate classes engage in city projects as class assignments while working directly with local govern- ment leaders during the semester. The goal of MetroBridge is to mutually benefit both the Boston University community and local governments by expanding access to experiential learning and by providing tailored sup- port to under-resourced cities.

MANIT Entitled System Of Care For Children's Behavioral Health: Implementation From A Networked Perspective be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY William Eubank, Ph.D, Advisor Aleksey Kolpakov, Ph.D., Co-advisor Eric Herzik, Ph.D., Committee Member Thomas Harris, Ph.D., Committee Member Denise Montcalm, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School December, 2018 i Abstract Governance models influence the approach public service organizations take when implementing programs, policies and practices. The networked model of governance supports the involvement of multiple actors who span organizational boundaries and roles to implement solutions to address complex social problems. This study examines the implementation of a statewide System of Care for children’s mental health from a networked governance perspective. System of Care is an evidence-based framework that aims to coordinate services in a culturally and linguistically appropriate way and places youth and families at the center of decision making on their care as well as in the design of the system. This descriptive study examines the extent to which the effort to implement a statewide System of Care resembles a networked governance perspective and describes the patterns of relationships that comprise the structure of the network.

  • About Theatre Bay Area
    welcome! Welcome to Theatre Bay Area’s 2018 Annual Conference. We are thrilled to return again this spring to downtown Berkeley as we gather together hundreds of theatre-makers from around the region and far beyond. We are excited for this chance to explore new venues as we meet new colleagues and reconnect with long-time friends and compatriots. This past year has brought a series of stunning developments here in the Bay Area, across the nation, and around the world. As we crafted the programming for this gathering, we aimed to address both the serious challenges and promising opportunities these local and global changes present our community. Our conference theme, “Seismic Shifts: Embracing a Changing Theatre Ecology,” speaks to the enormity of change and the potent mix of anxiety and hope we face in today’s theatre-making environment. Here today we have a chance to confront together those “seismic shifts” and to learn from each other new ways of navigating change and embracing the future. We like to say we make this conference together. While we will hear today from renowned experts, such as our keynote speaker, Professor John Holden, from the University of Leeds and Great Britain’s Clore Cultural Leadership Programme, we also depend on each of you to add your voice to the mix. Your expertise and perspective is essential for creating a day of shared learning and we invite you to engage vigorously in today’s wide range of conversations. Seismic shifts can leave destruction in their wake; they also offer a chance to rebuild in ways that are better and stronger.

  • THE DIARY of a TEENAGE GIRL Press Kit 021015
    Presents THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL Written and Directed by Marielle Heller Based on the novel by Phoebe Gloeckner Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2015 101 mins Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1028 Queen Street West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/ SYNOPSIS Like most teenage girls, Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) is longing for love, acceptance and a sense of purpose in the world. Minnie begins a complex love affair with her mother’s (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend, “the handsomest man in the world,” Monroe Rutherford (Alexander Skarsgård). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment. Set in 1976 San Francisco, THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL begins at the crossroads of the fading hippie movement and the dawn of punk rock. News commentary of the Patty Hearst trial echoes in the background, as Minnie’s young expressive eyes soak in a drug-laden city in transition— where teenage rebellion and adult responsibility clash in characters lost and longing. Minnie’s hard-partying mother and absent father have left her rudderless. She first finds solace in Monroe’s seductive smile, and then on the backstreets of the city by the bay. Animation serves a refuge from the confusing and unstable world around her. Minnie emerges defiant— taking command of her sexuality and drawing on her newfound creative talents to reveal truths in the kind of intimate and vivid detail that can only be found in the pages of a teenage girl’s diary.

Chelsea was incorporated in 1850 and originally it was part of Hallowell which encompassed a large area on both sides of the Kennebec River, the major transportation route and life force of the region. The town is close to Interstates 295 and 95, the major transportation link through Chelsea is US Route 9 (the River Road). Once Chelsea separated from Hallowell there was yet another deterrent to establishing a strong sense of community. A second physical barrier existed, this time a wide band of woodland running diagonally across the town, as it still does. In horse and buggy days and before roads were improved, it discouraged communication. Each side of town developed its own ideas, often opposite, which led to hearty debate.
