  • Controversial “Conversations” Analyzing a Museum Director’S Strategic Alternatives When a Famous Donor Becomes Tainted
    Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership 2019, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 85–106 https://doi.org/10.18666/JNEL-2019-V9-I1-8390 Teaching Case Study Controversial “Conversations” Analyzing a Museum Director’s Strategic Alternatives When a Famous Donor Becomes Tainted Jennifer Rinella Katie Fischer Clune Tracy Blasdel Rockhurst University Abstract This teaching case places students in the role of Dr. Johnnetta Cole, director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art, as she determines how to respond to a situation in which Bill Cosby—well-known entertainer, spouse of a museum advisory board member, donor, and lender of a significant number of important pieces of art on display at the Museum—has been charged with sexual misconduct. Representing the Museum, the director must weigh the cost of appearing to support her friends the Cosbys against the value of displaying one of the world’s largest private collections of African American art. This case extends stakeholder theory by utilizing Dunn’s (2010) three-factor model for applying stakeholder theory to a tainted donor situation.

  • Vampires and Shades of Grey: How Media Shapes Who We Are 8 January 2014
    Vampires and Shades of Grey: How media shapes who we are 8 January 2014 Schau and her colleague found that participants engaged with TV characters in ways far more nuanced than just aspiring to be like them – a view espoused by much of the previous research. They often saw the characters as like them, not just identifying with how they looked or dressed but relating to values they perceived in the characters and using their behaviors to define themselves by comparison or contrast. For example, one participant noted that "the fashion on Sex and the City is over the top, but that's OK. It sure makes my fashion addiction at Forever 21 more acceptable." Do you watch television shows like those produced in Another participant, an African American student, Hollywood? They may be shaping the way you act. found inspiration in The Cosby Show, saying that while she did not aspire to be a lawyer like the character, Clair, she was encouraged that those like her were presented in professional roles, like Are you a Homer Simpson or a Dexter?

  • Moving Towards a Black Woman's Pedagogy of Humor
    HORHN, ERICA-BRITTANY M., Ph.D. Sassy Subversions, Knowing Glances, and Black Women’s Laughter: Moving Towards a Black Woman’s Pedagogy of Humor. (2020) Directed by Dr. Leila Villaverde. 218 pp. Sassy subversions, knowing glances, and Black women’s laughter is a qualitative study that examines the nuances of Black women’s humor away from the comedic stage. Additionally, it provides an alternative approach to understanding Black women’s lived experiences. More specifically, it explores the pedagogical proprieties of Black women’s humor suggesting that the everyday Black woman has the potential to be a public intellectual. Through a Black feminist lens, this research analyzes Issa Rae’s HBO series Insecure and uses focus groups to further investigate how Black women use and understand humor. Evidence from this study suggests that some Black women intentionally and unintentionally use humor to critique and alleviate oppressive conditions created by racism and sexism. Black women also use humor to reinforce communal ties through coded language and communicative patterns. As a result, this study builds the foundation for a Black women’s pedagogy of humor that positions humor as a method of survival while sustaining and celebrating cultural connections. Within this pedagogy, Black women’s humor is both an object of study and a set of tools for Black women to strategically use their humor.

I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • “I Am the One Who Knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. by Stephanie Wille Submitted to the Graduate Degree P
    “I am the one who knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. By Stephanie Wille 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 C. Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Ron Wilson ________________________________ Dr. Germaine Halegoua Date Defended: August 18, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for Stephanie Wille certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “I am the one who knocks!”: What It Means to Be a Man in Breaking Bad. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John C. Tibbetts Date approved: October 30, 2014 iii Abstract Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-2013) dramatizes the rise and fall of Walter White, a mild- mannered high school chemistry teacher who, through a series of misfortunes and freak opportunities, is transformed into a notorious, brutal drug kingpin -- a trajectory described as "Mr. Chips" to "Scarface." I contextualize and conduct a textual analysis of this acclaimed television series as a case study that demonstrates the increasingly complex construction of masculine identity in contemporary television. This study examines the reception of specific characters among critics and audiences, as well as investigates the ways in which the setting and depiction of ethnicities influence representations of masculinity. Calling for attention to the apparent lack in masculinity studies on television, the complex male representation in Breaking Bad suggests that men are not merely experiencing a crisis of their masculinity in contemporary society, but demonstrates that there is a problem with uniform white, hetero-normative representation of masculinity on TV.

PURGATORY‟S PLACE IN THE SOUTH: A BLACK WOMAN‟S JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND by CONSUELA JEAN WARD (Under the Direction of Ming Fang He) ABSTRACT Using critical race theory (Delgado & Stefancic, 2001; Ladson-Billings, 2003; Stovall, 2005), Black feminist thought (Collins, 2000), and identity theory of oppression (Hardiman & Jackson, 1997) as the theoretical framework and autobiographical narrative inquiry (He, 2003; Moody,1968; Angleou, 1969; Hurston, 1965; hooks,1996; Jacobs, 1861) as the methodology, I explored the formal and informal educational experiences I received and reciprocated in Black church ideology and white schools and how they shaped my identity and lived experience as a Black woman in the South. I chronicled paradigm shifts in my thinking along my journey from Black Christian fundamentalism and poverty to a socially mobile agnostic college administrator and diversity educator.

  • Feminism Ain't Funny: Woman As “Fun-Killer,” Mother As Monster In

Vol.1, No.1, 1-12 Published Online March 2013 in SciRes (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ajc) http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ajc.2013.11001 Feminism Ain’t Funny: Woman as “Fun-Killer,” Mother as Monster in the American Sitcom Jack Simmons1, Leigh E. Rich2 1Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, USA 2Department of Health Sciences, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, USA Email: [email protected] Received February 1st, 2013; revised March 2nd, 2013; accepted March 10th, 2013 Whether America has realized President Herbert Hoover’s 20th-century vision of a “chicken in every pot”, there is a television in nearly every home. Powerful and accessible, television programs, whether explic- itly, convey values and messages to viewers and, thus, can play a role in reifying the status quo or affect- ing social change. Given comedy programming’s roots in radio and Vaudeville, it is no surprise that a re- current theme in situational comedies is the “war between the sexes”. Despite a surfeit of studies ex- amining specific programs, however, there exists no comprehensive project exploring how gender depic- tions have changed since television’s proliferation in post-WWII America. This time span is especially important because it is bisected by second wave feminism. Regarding gender, TV shows need not fortify traditional ideals. But how far has television come? Findings from a pilot study employing a Grounded Theory analysis of selected US sitcoms from 1952 to 2004 suggest that, regardless of the progressive na- ture of some programming, the most-watched sitcoms reaffirm mainstream stereotypes of women.

For more information on the AHA’s eorts and examples of hospital leadership in eliminating disparities, go to www.aha.org/disparities 9th AnnuAl leAdership AwArds dinner DEAR COLLEAGUES: Our Annual Leadership Awards Dinner brings to a close the Spring Congressional Black Caucus Health Braintrust and Seventh Annual Health Disparities Leadership Summit. We are very pleased that you can join us as we acknowledge and celebrate outstanding achievements among a select group of individuals who have contributed to improving the health of all Americans. Thank you for your support and participation. Over the past two days we have learned that, notwithstanding the passage of health-reform legislation, more must be accomplished to reduce the health disparities and inequities seen across this country. We have learned that a growing number of Medicare beneficiaries are low consumers of benefits and that a predictable percentage of these low consumers become some of the most costly beneficiaries. We have learned that the increased participation of emerging populations is essential to ensure that the outcomes of clinical trials can be translated into more effective clinical practice. We have learned that there are critically important subpopulations—such as adolescents and residents of public- housing communities—whose unique health and health-care challenges must be addressed as we move forward.

  • Queen of the Hill
    QUEEN OF THE HILL Rachel Ramlawi A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2020 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeffery Brown © 2020 Rachel Ramlawi All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor An exploration of feminist themes within Fox’s King of the Hill. Using Peggy Hill as a site of discourse, I examine the way the show presents the gendered division of labor, motherhood, and body positivity. Contrasting the show with other sitcoms and other animated sitcoms, I look for the ways in which King of the Hill utilizes postmodern sincerity in order to make an honest message about feminism. I examine the episodes, “Goodbye Normal Jeans.” “Peggy’s Turtle Song,” and “Transnational Amusements Presents Peggy’s Magic Sex Feet” as a way to establish the progressive discourse the show is saying about feminism. In looking at these episodes I argue that King of the Hill presents a positive and progressive view of feminism with regards to gendered divisions of labor, motherhood, and body liberation. iv Dedicated to my mom Susan Cook, father Mustafa Ramlawi, sisters Jamie Ramlawi, Tess Cook, Grace Cook and three best friends, Tiffany Alcock, Marley Stuever-Williford, and Emily Solomon, who without their support I could never have finished this. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A big thanks to Dr. Cragin for advising me and guiding me through this process. And for teaching me the ropes when it comes to TV studies. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER ONE.
