  • Re-Writing the Script : Representations of Transgender Creativity In
    Kate Norbury Re-writing the Script: Representations of Transgender Creativity in Contemporary Young Adult Fiction and Television Abstract: The transgender, gender-atypical or intersex protagonist challeng- es normative assumptions and expectations about gender, identity and sexu- ality. This article argues that contemporary transgender-themed young adult fiction and television uses the theme of creativity or the creative achievement script to override previously negative representations of adolescent transgender subjectivities. I consider three English-language novels and one television series for young adults and use script theory to analyse these four texts. Cris Beam’s I Am J (2011) and Kirstin Cronn-Mills’ Beautiful Music for Ugly Children (2012), both originally published in the United States, depict female to male transitions. Alyssa Brugman’s Alex As Well (2013), originally published in Australia, foregrounds the experience of an inter- sex teenager, Alex, raised as a boy, but who, at the age of fourteen, decides she is female. Glee introduced the transgender character Unique in 2012, and in 2014 she continued to be a central member of the New Directions choir. The Swedish graphic novel, Elias Ericson’s Åror (Oars, 2013), includes two transgender characters who enact the creative achievement script and fall in love with each other. Ericson’s graphic novel goes further than the English-language texts to date. Collectively, these transgender, gender-atypical or intersex protagonists and central characters assert their creativity and individual agency. The transgender character’s particular cre- ativity ultimately secures a positive sense of self. This more recent selection of texts which date from 2011 validate young adult transgender experience and model diversity and acceptance.

Schiebler, MD Interviewed by Howard A. Pearson, MD Preface i About the Interviewer ii Interview of Gerold L. Schiebler, MD 1 Index of Interview 86 Curriculum Vita, Gerold L. Schiebler, MD 90 PREFACE Oral history has its roots in the sharing of stories which has occurred throughout the centuries. It is a primary source of historical data, gathering information from living individuals via recorded interviews. Outstanding pediatricians and other leaders in child health care are being interviewed as part of the Oral History Project at the Pediatric History Center of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Under the direction of the Historical Archives Advisory Committee, its purpose is to record and preserve the recollections of those who have made important contributions to the advancement of the health care of children through the collection of spoken memories and personal narrations. This volume is the written record of one oral history interview. The reader is reminded that this is a verbatim transcript of spoken rather than written prose. It is intended to supplement other available sources of information about the individuals, organizations, institutions, and events which are discussed. The use of face-to-face interviews provides a unique opportunity to capture a firsthand, eyewitness account of events in an interactive session.

  • Configuration of Application Permissions with Contextual Access Control
    CONFIGURATION OF APPLICATION PERMISSIONS WITH CONTEXTUAL ACCESS CONTROL by Andrew Besmer A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Technology Charlotte 2013 Approved by: Dr. Heather Richter Lipford Dr. Mohamed Shehab Dr. Celine Latulipe Dr. Richard Lambert Dr. Lorrie Cranor ii c 2013 Andrew Besmer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT ANDREW BESMER. Configuration of application permissions with contextual access control. (Under the direction of DR. HEATHER RICHTER LIPFORD) Users are burdened with the task of configuring access control policies on many dif- ferent application platforms used by mobile devices and social network sites. Many of these platforms employ access control mechanisms to configure application per- missions before the application is first used and provide an all or nothing decision for the user. When application platforms provide fine grained control over decision making, many users exhibit behavior that indicates they desire more control over their application permissions. However, users who desire control over application permissions still struggle to properly configure them because they lack the context in which to make better decisions. In this dissertation, I attempt to address these problems by exploring decision making during the context of using mobile and social network applications. I hypothesize that users are able to better configure access control permissions as they interact with applications by supplying more contextual information than is available when the application is being installed. I also explore how logged access data generated by the application platform can provide users with more understanding of when their data is accessed.

  • (In)Equality on Reddit
    DICTATING THE TERMS: GAMERGATE, DEMOCRACY, AND (IN)EQUALITY ON REDDIT Shane Michael Snyder A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2019 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Committee Chair Laura Landry-Meyer Graduate Faculty Representative Sandra Faulkner Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2019 Shane Snyder All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Committee Chair In late 2014 the mainstream press reported about a far-right movement that sought to discredit feminist, anti-racist, and trans-inclusive interventions in the video games industry, its products, and its consumer culture. Called GamerGate by its devotees, the movement began when American game designer Zoë Quinn weathered public harassment after her ex-boyfriend published a five-part essay falsely alleging she had sex with a game journalist to collect a positive review for her game Depression Quest. GamerGate activists launched a smear campaign against Quinn but attempted to absolve themselves of harassment by rebranding the movement as a game consumer revolt against unethical journalists and leftist academics. Almost five years later, GamerGate continues to grow in membership on its official subreddit, /r/KotakuInAction, which is a self-governed community hosted on the popular discussion forum-based social media platform Reddit. Shortly after /r/KotakuInAction materialized, a conscientious objector created the pro-feminist /r/GamerGhazi to resist GamerGate. Despite Reddit’s massive user base, its 1.2 million subreddits, and its ubiquity in American culture, it remains an underexplored space in the academic literature. Academics have neither adequately addressed Reddit’s role in promoting far-right communities like /r/KotakuInAction, nor the efficacy of using Reddit as a space for staging feminist resistance to such communities.
