Association for Women in Psychology AUSTIN AWP 2020 MARCH 5-8TH Association for Women in Psychology AUSTIN AWP 2020 MARCH 5-8TH 1 Acknowledgements As co-chairs for AWP Austin, we are indebted to our tireless committee of students and professionals who have given generously of their time and talents to help make our conference a success. We offer our heartfelt, enthusiastic thanks to the following folx: Dena Abbott Abigail Baer Kenna Bolton Holtz Sara Bonilla Madeline Brodt Katie Clonan-Roy Rachel Dyer Ellen Halpern Emily Keener* Julie Koven Ginny Maril Mallaigh McGinley Maureen McHugh* Clare Mehta Madison Natarajan Mike Parent Noelany Pelc* Sandy Ramirez Tangela Roberts Rakhshanda Saleem Riddhi Sandil Christine Smith Sally Stabb Lindsey White Celina Whitmore Advisors: Kat Quina, Mary Zahm, Sharon Siegel, Elizabeth Bennett, Nik Houston, Mindy Erchull Special thanks to our Keynote Speaker, Loretta Ross and our Plenary Speakers, Laina Bay-Cheng, Alexandra Rutherford, and Deborah Tolman In solidarity, with reproductive justice for all— Sharon Lamb and Debra Mollen *Program Committee Diversity and Inclusion Statement What happens in our organization is a reflection of the larger world. AWP is a living space. Although we strive to create a safe and empowering environment, we are aware that we are not immune to interpersonal, organizational, structural, and cultural forces of oppression. Our feminist methods and responsibility are to address racism, classism, sexism, and all other forms of injustice in the moment-to-moment interactions of every part of our conference experience. To be conscious, to be thoughtful, to be mindful, to be reflective, to make mistakes, to be open to feedback and dialogue from others’ lived experience that differs from our own. This is the essence of feminist practice. The Implementation Collective feels strongly that feminism is an integration of both Doing (engaging in community activism, mentoring, building alliances, influencing policy, teaching, research) and Being (maintaining a feminist consciousness and intentionality around issues of privilege and oppression). This ongoing intersection is how we collectively nourish all of our members in the shared space of our conference that is the lifeblood of our organization. (Written by the Implementation Collective, June 2015) Gender Inclusivity Statement The Association of Women in Psychology acknowledges that language is gender-inclusive and non-sexist when we use words that affirm and respect how people describe, express, and experience their gender. Just as sexist language excludes women’s experiences, non-gender- inclusive language excludes the experiences of individuals whose identities may not fit the gender binary, and/or who may not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth. Examine your assumptions. It is common for people to make assumptions, often subconsciously, that others share the same background, perspectives, or experiences (e.g. everyone at this conference identifies as a woman). These assumptions can make conference attendees with minority identities feel marginalized while at AWP2020. It is important to develop an awareness of these assumptions and to replace them with inclusive language and behavior. Conference attendees with have their name and pronouns listed on name badges. We expect that all attendees will use the pronouns chosen to affirm one’s identity (e.g. they/them, ze/ zir, she/her, he/him). If someone’s pronouns are not clearly stated, the best policy is to ask someone which pronouns affirm their identity, rather than assume the correct pronouns to use. You may slip up and use the wrong gender pronoun when referring to another person. This is okay. However, don’t pretend you didn’t use the incorrect pronoun. If you make a mistake, take accountability for your error by correcting yourself before continuing your conversation. Everyone in the space will appreciate your effort. 1 Land Acknowledgement: the Tonkawa Indians We would like to acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Tonkawa Indians on which we are learning and teaching today. Indigenous people are often talked about in the past tense. It is easier to deny Indigenous people their rights if we historicize their struggles and today we honor the people who stewarded the land on which we in the present gather and the remaining Tonkawa here in the US. We want to acknowledge the history of genocide and forced removal from this land. And in connection with the conference, we especially acknowledge the forced sterilization as one of the many forms of genocide of a people enacted upon indigenous and other racialized female bodies as the history of our colonial settler. As activists and scholars, we can commit ourselves to the struggle against all systems of oppression especially those that dispossessed Indigenous people of their lands. Colonialism is an ongoing and current process and we need to examine our participation in it. Select HERstory of the Tonkawa Indians The name Tonkawa is a Waco term meaning “they all stay together.” (The Tonkawa Indians were actually a group of independent bands.) It is interesting to hear as we begin our meetings that maternal clans were the basic unit in Tonkawa society. Children became members of their mothers’ clans, and men lived with their spouses’ clans. Because each clan saw itself as a family unit, marriage within the clan was discouraged. The same kinship relation carried over to the female side of the family (as was common on the male side) where sororate, the practice in which a sister married her dead sister’s husband, was followed. Following this same pattern, when a man died his property was distributed among his siblings’ children, rather than to his own in order that the property might stay within his clan. Orphans became wards of the mother’s clan. The system was designed to insure that widows and orphans would be cared for. Little is still known about the Tonkawa and their time here in what is now called Austin, on the land where the AT&T Conference Center sit. But the death rites have received the greatest attention in existing written records. When a person neared death, their friends would gather and form concentric rings around the dying, chanting and swaying until the individual passed away. The deceased was then buried, along with many of their prized possessions. Like other plains Indians, a horse was sometimes shot over the grave of a prestigious warrior. The band mourned for three days, relatives more deeply than others, and then carried out a four-day smoking ceremony that was meant to purify those contaminated by death. This ceremony also allowed the society to realign and reintegrate itself following the loss of a member. The Tonkawas had a plains Indian culture, subsisting on the buffalo and small game. When the Apaches began to push them from their hunting grounds, they became a destitute culture, living off what little food they could scavenge. Women wore short skin skirts, with additional accoutrement as weather dictated. Males wore earrings, necklaces, and other ornaments of shell, bone, and feathers, and both sexes tattooed their bodies. https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/bmt68 2 WELLNESS Thoughts On Your Well-Being Academic and professional conferences offer great opportunities to network, share expertise, and learn from leaders in the field. However, they can also be environments that produce feelings of stress and pressure. Conference Stress/Typical Feelings Conferences are often busy settings, filled with new faces and noise. It is common to experience the following feelings, and more: • Stress related to getting the most value from a compressed and frenetic experience • Loneliness, especially if you have traveled to the conference without peers from your own institution • Jealousy, insecurity, or anxiety, related to comparing your own work to others’ These feelings can be intensified or made more complex if you also experience things like depression or anxiety. Nurturing Wellness AWP recognizes that conferences can be stressful and is deeply committed to promoting the wellness of our community. At AWP 2020, we want to support you in maintaining such balance and comprehensive wellness. AWP offers the following recommendations for nurturing these dimensions of wellness: • Emotional: create time to stay on top of your typical work responsibilities and ask for help when you need it. • Intellectual: make sure to make time for presentation sessions that you will enjoy (even if they are unrelated to your research); take breaks for yourself in between presentation sessions • Physical: move your body (exercise); be mindful of nutrition; get eight hours of sleep • Social Support: take advantage of the social opportunities we have planned throughout the conference, the receptions, Friday night’s dance instruction, Saturday night’s comedy show • Financial: If the conference is a financial splurge for you, make a spending plan. Use buses or share rides. Eat well at the breakfasts and receptions provided by the conference and choose the inexpensive options near the hotel which is situated in a university district Resources In the hotel: a 24-hour fitness center; hotel heated outdoor saltwater pool 6 am- 10PM What the conference offers: Check out the next page for a summary of our conference programming around wellness. 3 4 SPEAKERS Keynote Speaker Loretta Ross Loretta J.

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

Hester ii MALE BONDING: A QUEER ANALYSIS OF THE JAMES BOND CANON by Grant C. Hester This dissertation was prepared under the direction of the candidate's dissertation advisor, Dr. Jane Caputi, Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Communication, and Multimedia and has been approved by the members of his supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D. Interim Dean, Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jane Caputi for guiding me through this process. She was truly there from this paper’s incubation as it was in her Sex, Violence, and Hollywood class where the idea that James Bond could be repressing his homosexuality first revealed itself to me. She encouraged the exploration and was an unbelievable sounding board every step to fruition. Stephen Charbonneau has also been an invaluable resource. Frankly, he changed the way I look at film. His door has always been open and he has given honest feedback and good advice. Oliver Buckton possesses a knowledge of James Bond that is unparalleled. I marvel at how he retains such information.

  • William S. Burroughs Reading Wilhelm Reich
    humanities Article Genius and Genitality: William S. Burroughs Reading Wilhelm Reich Thomas Antonic Department of German Studies (Institut für Germanistik), University of Vienna, A1010 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] Received: 15 January 2019; Accepted: 16 May 2019; Published: 21 May 2019 Abstract: This article explores the impact of Wilhelm Reich’s theories and writings on the works and thinking of William S. Burroughs. Reich’s significance for Burroughs’ fiction is beyond doubt, as the appearance of Reich’s discoveries and inventions, such as orgones and orgone accumulators, in Burroughs’ major works demonstrates. Yet to date, no attempt has been made in academia to make all those references to Reich in Burroughs’ complete œuvre visible. In order to make the thinking of the Austrian-American psychoanalyst and scientist comprehensible for readers not familiar with Reich, the first section will provide a brief biographical outline. In the subsequent sections, the article will describe how Burroughs and other Beat writers discovered Reich, how and to what extent Burroughs incorporated Reich in his texts throughout his career and what opinions Burroughs expressed about Reich in interviews and letters. For the first time, with a summary as undertaken in this article and by documenting most of the references to Reich in Burroughs’ work, the importance of the former to the latter is revealed in a compact form. Keywords: William S. Burroughs; Wilhelm Reich; beat generation; orgone 1. Introduction At some point, readers familiar with Beat literature have certainly come across the name of Wilhelm Reich or references to one of his discoveries and inventions in books by or about the Beat Generation.

  • Wilhelm Reich -- Depth Psychology and Bodywork
    Wilhelm Reich -- Depth Psychology and Bodywork Holotropic Breathwork facilitators can gain dimension for their practice by increasing their understanding of its historical antecedents. Christopher Turner’s Adventures in the Orgasmatron: How the Sexual Revolution Came to America, a recent cultural/political biography of Wilhelm Reich, provides insights into the development of breath and bodywork in depth psychology. Early on, Reich was Freud’s star trainee. Although he became progressively psychotic later in life and died in prison in 1957 at age 60, he significantly influenced the beatnik and hippie eras. His direct trainees included A.S. Neil, who founded Summerhill School, and Fritz Perls, of Gestalt fame. He indirectly influenced Allen Ginsberg and Norman Mailer, and he was a stimulus, which angered him, for introducing psychoanalytic ideas to the American advertising that promoted mass consumption. Turner, in his Economist-designated book of the year, paints Reich’s biography against a background canvas of events, ranging from the activities of Freud and his psychoanalytic spawn to the societal tumult and cataclysms of twentieth century Europe and America. A twenty-two-year-old medical student at the University of Vienna on leave to begin study after serving on the Italian front in the First World War, Reich came as a pilgrim to Freud’s doorstep in 1919. They immediately connected. Freud was so taken by Reich that he soon referred a patient to him, even though Reich had not quite begun his own psychoanalysis. When he did begin, Reich chose an analyst who had a practically pornographic interest in sex, and for the first Young Freud time he confided the guilty secrets and tragedies of his scarred childhood.

  • The Year 1968—Some Claiming Objectivity and Others Stating Their Prejudices—I Am Convinced That Fairness Is Possible but True Objectivity Is Not

No one before Kurlansky has managed to evoke so rich a set of experiences in so many different places—and to keep the story humming." -Chicago Tribune To some, 1968 was the year of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Yet it was also the year of the Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy assassinations; the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago; Prague Spring; the antiwar movement and the Tet Offensive; Black Power; the generation gap; avant-garde theater; the upsurge of the women's movement; and the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union. In this monumental book, Mark Kurlansky brings to teeming life the cultural and political history of that pivotal year, when television's influence on global events first became apparent, and spontaneous uprisings occurred simultaneously around the world. Encompassing the diverse realms of youth and music, politics and war, economics and the media, 1968 shows how twelve volatile months transformed who we were as a people—and led us to where we are today. "A cornucopia of astounding events and audacious originality ... Like a reissue of a classic album or a PBS documentary, this book is about a subject it's hard to imagine people ever tiring of revisiting. They just don't make years like 1968 very often." - The Atlanta Journal-Chronicle "Fascinating ...

  • Politicising Stardom: Jane Fonda, IPC Films and Hollywood, 1977-1982
    1 Politicising Stardom: Jane Fonda, IPC Films and Hollywood, 1977-1982 James Michael Rafferty Queen Mary, University of London Thesis submitted for the qualification of Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) 2 Abstract This thesis is an empirical analysis of Jane Fonda’s films, stardom, and political activism during the most commercially successful period of her career. At the outset, Fonda’s early stardom is situated in relation to contemporaneous moral and political ideologies in the United States and how she functioned as both an agent and symbol of these ideologies. Her anti-war activism in the early-1970s constituted the apex of Fonda’s radicalisation and the nadir of her popular appeal; a central question of this thesis, therefore, is how her stardom was rehabilitated for the American mainstream to the point of becoming Hollywood’s most bankable actress. As the star and producer of IPC Films, Fonda developed political projects using commercial formats, namely Coming Home (1978), The China Syndrome (1979), Nine to Five (1980), and Rollover (1981). The final IPC film, On Golden Pond (1981), signalled an ideological breach in this political strategy by favouring a familial spectacle, and duly outperformed its predecessors significantly. The first and last chapters of this work provide historical parameters for IPC in Fonda’s career, while the remaining chapters are structured by the conceptual and political aspects of each IPC project. Julia (1977) is discussed as an IPC prototype through its dramatisation of political consciousness. Coming Home, The China Syndrome, Nine to Five, and Rollover all exhibit this motif whereas On Golden Pond employs melodramatic nostalgia.
