Morgan Varner III ’66 T WAS EASY TO SPOT Morgan IVarner’s law school classmates at their 45th reunion last April: Many of them were sporting “Duke blue” neckties or scarves emblazoned with Duke Law shields laid out in a criss- cross pattern and the embroidered legend, “The Great Class of 1966.” “I thought we ought to have a symbol of our class pride and our class FTQSJUEFDPSQT ” Varner says of his gift to his classmates. “I think ours is a really amazing class, but we’re scattered. About the only time we get to see one another is at reunions.” A partner at Stites Harbison in Atlanta, Varner reached out to his classmates in advance of their reunion, both to encourage their attendance and as chair of their Class Gift Committee; their gifts and pledges to the Annual Fund totaled $299,000 — a record for a 45th reunion year — and $837,000 to all Duke Law funds. $POUJOVFEPOQBHF .PSHBO7BSOFSQSFTFOUFEB$MBTTPGUJFUP%VLF1SFTJEFOU *OTJEF 3JDIBSE#SPEIFBEBUUIF#BSSJTUFS%POPS4PDJFUZSFDFQUJPOJO"QSJM Volunteers make a difference 2 Thank you: FY11 giving in review 3 Hughes gift endows professorship 4 Student fellowships 5 Profile: John Knight ’83 7 Center for Judicial Studies 8 Photo gallery 10 Pages from the past 11 Donor rolls 12 DUKE LAW ADVOCATE Volunteers make a difference New members of the Among the most energizing and rewarding parts of my life since graduating 33 years Board of Visitors ago has been volunteering at Duke Law School.

  • Abstract Violence and Heteronormativity in Gay
    ABSTRACT VIOLENCE AND HETERONORMATIVITY IN GAY-THEMED FILMS Anna-Marie Malley, M.A. Department of Sociology Northern Illinois University, 2017 Kerry O. Ferris, Director Drawing from a sample of 15 “gay/lesbian”-themed films shown in theaters in the U.S. between 1980 to 2016, a qualitative analysis was conducted of the film narratives, looking at the co-constructions of queer (LGBTQ) identity and violence. Films were selected based on widest theatrical release within the genre list “Gay/Lesbian.” Both the categories of queer identity and violence were drawn broadly to incorporate both easily identifiable and “ambiguously” queer characters, as well as to account for both physical and nonphysical forms of violence. Analysis identifies plot developments of exclusion, threat, and physical forms of harm as expressions of violence and argues that to varying degrees these expressions of violence mark queer protagonists and other queer supporting characters as deviant and/or damned within their fictitious social realities. NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY DE KALB, ILLINOIS DECEMBER 2017 VIOLENCE AND HETERONORMATIVITY IN GAY-THEMED FILMS BY ANNA-MARIE MALLEY ©2017 Anna-Marie Malley A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY Thesis Director: Kerry O. Ferris ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my thesis committee: Drs. Ferris, Weffer, and Walther, for their direction and insight through each step of the process. I also want to recognize other faculty, Dr. Rodgers and Dr. Sharp, who have offered advice when needed. I am also deeply grateful to my friends Ana Hernandez, Katarina McGuire, Laura Guilfoyle, Laura Kruczinski, Nabil Juklif, and Rodrigo Martinez for taking the time to read and suggest edits at various stages of the writing process.

Dans ce monde brutal dominé par les instincts primaires, la survie passe par une stricte discipline, faite de fuite permanente et de subterfuges. Mais il le sait, son plus grand défi est ailleurs: alors que tout s'effondre, comment maintenir l'illusion d'un quotidien insouciant et préserver la complicité fusionnelle avec sa fille ? 2 NOTE D’INTENTION DU RÉALISATEUR En tant que cinéaste, je suis attiré par les histoires qui mettent en valeur notre humanité. L'histoire d'un parent dévoué par-dessus tout à son enfant en est une dans laquelle j'espère que tout un chacun pourra se retrouver.
