Now they have slowed significantly. Still, she added, the current system of obtaining visas has been flawed for years. "There are a lot of so-called schools that have the authority to issue I-20s," she said. "There's been very little checking up on whether these students are actually coming into school. We know who comes in, but we don't know when they leave and where they go when they get here." More INS changes are in the works, including the creation of an online database in which schools could record whether foreign stu- dents show up for class, according to the Inquirer.

The thesis is divided into two parts – a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part introduces the definition of a subculture, its features and functions. This part further describes American society in the fifties which provided preconditions for the emergence of new subcultures. The practical part analyzes the origin and development of skateboarding subculture which was influenced by changes in American mass culture. The end of the practical part includes an interconnection between the values of American society and skateboarders.

  • Skate Parks: a Guide for Landscape Architects and Planners
    SKATE PARKS: A GUIDE FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS by DESMOND POIRIER B.F.A., Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island, 1999. A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Department of Landscape Architecture College of Regional and Community Planning KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2008 Approved by: Major Professor Stephanie A. Rolley, FASLA, AICP Copyright DESMOND POIRIER 2008 Abstract Much like designing golf courses, designing and building skateboard parks requires very specific knowledge. This knowledge is difficult to obtain without firsthand experience of the sport in question. An understanding of how design details such as alignment, layout, surface, proportion, and radii of the curved surfaces impact the skateboarder’s experience is essential and, without it, a poor park will result. Skateboarding is the fastest growing sport in the US, and new skate parks are being fin- ished at a rate of about three per day. Cities and even small towns all across North America are committing themselves to embracing this sport and giving both younger and older participants a positive environment in which to enjoy it. In the interest of both the skateboarders who use them and the people that pay to have them built, it is imperative that these skate parks are built cor- rectly. Landscape architects will increasingly be called upon to help build these public parks in conjunction with skate park design/builders. At present, the relationship between landscape architects and skate park design/builders is often strained due to the gaps in knowledge between the two professions.

  • Return to Form: Analyzing the Role of Media in Self-Documenting Subcultures
    RETURN TO FORM: ANALYZING THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN SELF-DOCUMENTING SUBCULTURES GLEN WOOD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CINEMA AND MEDIA STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August 2020 © Glen Wood, 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines self-documenting subcultures and the role of media within three case studies: hardcore punk, skateboarding, and urban dirt-bike riding. The production and distribution of subcultural media is largely governed by intracultural industries. Elite practitioners and media-makers are incentivized to document performances that are deemed essential to the preservation of the status quo. This constructed dependency reflects and reproduces an ethos of conformity that pervades both social interactions and subcultural representations. Within each self-documenting subculture, media is the primary mode of socialization and representation. The production of media and meaning is constrained by the presence of prescriptive formal conventions propagated by elite producers. These conditions, in part, result in the institutionalization of conformity. The three case studies illustrate the theoretical and methodological framework that classifies these formations under a new typology. Accordingly, this dissertation introduces an alternative approach to the study of subcultures. ii Acknowledgments My academic career is based upon the support of numerous individuals, organizations, and institutions. I would like to thank John McCullough for his inspiring words and utter confidence in my work. Moreover, Markus Reisenleitner and Steve Bailey were integral throughout the dissertation process, encouraging my progress and providing their thoughtful commentary along the way. I am also greatly appreciative of the external reviewers for their time and evaluations.

Newhouse School of Public Communications at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Media Studies - Theses by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Skateboarding is widely regarded as a subculture that is highly resistant to any type of integration or co-option from large, mainstream companies. In 2002 Nike entered the skateboarding market with its Nike SB line of shoes, and since 2004 has experienced tremendous success within the skateboarding culture. During its early years Nike experienced a great deal of backlash from the skateboarding community, but has recently gained wider acceptance as a legitimate company within this culture. The purpose of this study is to examine the specific aspects of authenticity Nike was able achieve in order to successfully integrate into skateboarding. In order to investigate the case of Nike SB specifically, the concept of company authenticity within skateboarding must first be clarified as well. This study involved an electronic survey of skateboarders.

  • Kevin Harris
    Kevin Harris Derailed by skateboarding in 1976, Kevin Harris was never the same. As a gangly teenager nicknamed stickman, he pulled his shorts north of the belly button, walked school hallways holding his cherished skateboard instead of girlfriends' hands and rode every day, rain or shine. He graduated high school as a national champion and member of the Ripping Squad demonstration team with zero social life outside of skateboarding. Pictures torn out of SkateBoarder covered his bedroom wall instead of the expected Farah Fawcett bathing suit poster. Unfortunately for the teenager, his daydreams of becoming a world-famous professional skateboarder were crippled by location, location, location. California was the skateboarding epicenter and Kevin may as well have been winning contests on the dark side of the moon for all the attention Canada received. No legitimate pro had ever emerged from The Great White North. In 1978, when Kevin crushed the unofficial world record of 400 two-board 360s with an official 1,032 rotations, SkateBoarder magazine awarded him a teeny black and white photo. By 1981 there were barely any pros anywhere. The skating bubble burst and stragglers were looked upon with pity, unaware they were obsessed over a deflated loser fad. Kevin's collection of trophies failed to keep him company as he skated alone every night. Paying his own way to California contests, Kevin entered the emasculated international competitive pool as a way to motivate his skating and hang with other enthusiasts. There were so few competitors at a 1982 Del Mar Skate Ranch contest that they mashed the professionals and amateurs together.

Colour in the Lines: The Racial Politics and Possibilities of US Skateboarding Culture A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Waikato by Neftalie S. Williams 2020 Abstract This thesis examines the informal sporting culture of skateboarding as a contested site of racial politics in the United States of America (US). Action sports scholars have long identified the ‘whiteness’ of this sport but rarely created space for the voices of people of colour (POC) within skateboarding. Underpinned by Critical Race Theory (CRT), this project centralizes the previously unheard voices of POC and reveals the unique challenges, strategies, and successes of POC within the elite skateboarding culture across particular historical contexts of skateboarding and within US society. With the aim of understanding the complex and nuanced experiences of race within the skateboarding culture, sport, and industry, I conducted semi-structured interviews with forty male and seven female skateboarders of colour who have played critical roles in the culture as athletes, company owners, managers and media producers.
