Today, the Amazon Prime Video catalog available to customers in the United States contains tens of thousands of titles, including Amazon Originals as well as third-party licensed movies and television series from content providers around the world. Our content selection is always changing; due to the size and dynamic nature of our catalog and the lack of an industry standard mechanism for identifying tobacco-specific data within content, we are unable to provide a title by title assessment on the presence of tobacco imagery or dialogue. However, individual maturity ratings are displayed on the detail page for the title within the catalog.

Scott Carter ABSTRACT The emboldening of white supremacist groups, as well as their increased mainstream presence in online circles, necessitates the creation of studies that dissect their tactics and rhetoric, while offering platform-specific insights. This study seeks to address these needs by analyzing white supremacist content and framing devices on the video hosting website, YouTube. Data were collected through a multi-stage sampling technique, designed to capture a ‘snapshot’ of white supremacist content on the platform during a 45-day period in 2019.

Abstract Researchers have previously found that school-age refugees and asylum-seekers are frequently characterized as experiencing physical, emotional, or psychological disabilities or disorders in schools because of the adversity that they face and a lack of adequate resources during their refugee journey. In their relocated society, many refugee students are interpreted as having disabilities or receiving special education services. While refugee experiences are often framed as causing deficits in students, the purpose of this study was to better understand the interplay of (dis)ability and refugee identity at a school that publicly proclaimed refugee experience as an asset. Grounded in a qualitative methodology, I designed a qualitative study examining experiences of North Korean students with refugee backgrounds (SRB) who relocated to South Korea.

  • Youtube Follows Amazon Into Movie Theaters 22 March 2018, by Frankie Taggart
    YouTube follows Amazon into movie theaters 22 March 2018, by Frankie Taggart "It's an honor to work with Susan Sarandon, Edie Falco and Matt Bomer who are the incredible talents and an innovator like YouTube to tell this timely story." Online entertainment magazine IndieWire hailed the move by YouTube Red—the Google-owned company's $10-a-month streaming service—as "a significant strategy shift." The platform showed Barbara Kopple documentary "This is Everything: Gigi Gorgeous" on limited New York and Los Angeles theatrical runs ahead of its February YouTube Red release. But the company appears to have changed Oscar winner Susan Sarandon—shown here at the direction since telling IndieWire last year it was not premiere of 'Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story' during making movie theaters a fulcrum of its release the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival in New York—will star in strategy.

    From Sleepless in Seattle to “I Seoul U”: How Korean Gay Men Narrative, Negotiate and Reproduce Discourses of Race, Culture, Religion and Sexual (In)Visibility Patrick S. Thomsen A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Clark Sorensen, Chair Ji-Hyun Ahn Christian Novetzke Nathalie Williams Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies © Copyright 2018 Patrick S. Thomsen University of Washington Abstract From Sleepless in Seattle to “I Seoul U”: How Korean Gay Men Narrative, Negotiate and Reproduce Discourses of Race, Culture, Religion and Sexual (In)Visibility Patrick S. Thomsen Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Clark Sorensen Director, Center for Korea Studies; Professor of International Studies – Jackson School of International Studies In both Seattle and Seoul, Korean gay men have often been constructed as marginal, whose perpetual invisibility to the public sphere has been attributed to intensely-heterosexist cultural configurations complicated by Christianity. This dissertation project deploys a 3-paper/chapter format to investigate how Korean gay men are navigating this marginal space through qualitative research methods. Over the course of 2-years in (1 year) Seattle and (1 year) Seoul, I completed an ethnographic study that included interviews with Korean gay men about how they navigated questions of sexual visibility in the form of the coming-out narrative as an affective discourse. I found that Korean gay men have their coming-out story affected by a complex milieu of factors that were also affected by the transnational context in which their conceptions of the self was also formed.
