  • Episode 13: Women Hello and Welcome to the Death Penalty
    Episode 13: Women Hello and welcome to the Death Penalty Information Center’s series of podcasts, exploring issues related to capital punishment. In this edition, we will be discussing women and the death penalty. Have women always been represented on death row in the United States? When was the first woman executed? Yes, in theory women have always been eligible for the death penalty in the United States, though they have been executed far less often than men. The first woman executed in what is now the U.S. was Jane Champion, in 1632. She received the death penalty in Virginia for murder. The first woman executed in the modern era of the death penalty was Velma Barfield. She was given a lethal injection in North Carolina in 1984. Do death penalty laws treat men and women differently? No. The laws are written in a gender-neutral way. However, the federal government forbids the execution of a woman who is pregnant. The U.S. has also ratified a treaty with a similar provision. In some countries, criminal laws are specifically written to affect women and men differently. What percentage of death row inmates are women? What percentage of executions involve women? As of October 31, 2010, there were 55 women on death row. They made up 1.7% of all death row inmates. In all of American history, there have only been 569 documented executions of women, out of over 15,000 total executions. Since 1976, twelve women have been executed, accounting for about 1% of executions during that time.

Instead of understanding transnational norms as emanating from some monolithic “international community,” I propose that we gain better analytic insight by considering the ways in which norms are embodied in particular actors and identities, promoted and contested between specific states in relational terms.

  • WS Press Release
    kurimanzutto presents Wilhelm Sasnal Opening May 21, 2011 from 12 pm to 2 pm May 24 - July 16, 2011 tuesday to thursday from 11 am to 6 pm friday and saturday from 11 am to 4 pm kurimanzutto is pleased to announce its first exhibition with Wilhelm Sasnal and the first painting show, ever in the history of the gallery. Wilhelm Sasnal’s painting from 2011 shows the famous canvas by James Rosenquist, “White Bread” from 1964, as seen by the Polish painter at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Four slices of lightly toasted bread and a knife spreading butter – the image is one of the many pop art symbols of American consumerism and the food cult but, at the same time, it is a work about painting itself, presenting the gesture of laying paint on a surface. With this image in the background, the painting in Sasnal’s work is just as much an object of consumerism. The pop art gesture is again seen in the pieces dedicated to Teresa Lewis, a woman who on September the 23rd of 2010 was executed at the Greensville Correctional Center in Virginia, by means of a lethal injection. Her last meal consisted of two fried chicken breasts, sweet peas with butter, a Dr Pepper and German chocolate cake for dessert. In the fall of 2002, Teresa Lewis managed to talk her two young lovers into murdering her husband and Charles her stepson. As a veteran of the war in Iraq, Charles Lewis had an insurance policy for 250,000 USD.

Instead of understanding transnational norms as emanating from some monolithic “international community,” I propose that we gain better analytic insight by considering the ways in which norms are embodied in particular actors and identities, promoted and contested between specific states in relational terms. Starting from this approach, I apply insights from sociology, social psychology, and criminology to develop a theory of international “defiance,” or the increase in norm offending behavior caused by a proud, shameless reaction against a sanctioning agent. As detailed in Chapter 2, defiance unfolds through domestic and international logics that incentivize elites to violate international norms for political gain.
