In an overarching sense, I am informed by scholars like Lennard Davis and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. According to Davis in Bending Over Backwards, the focus of Disability Studies is to re-imagine the body from the "ideology of normalcy" to a "vision of the body as changeable, unperfectable, unruly, and untidy" (39).1 In a similar drive to question normalcy, according to Kosofsky Sedgwick in Tendencies, Queer Studies is an antihomophobic inquiry that examines sexuality and gender as unstable categories that "aren't made (or can't be made) to signify monolithically"(8). These fields share the practice of interrogating identities that are written on the body through cultural inscriptions of "normalcy." In a culture mediated by film, television and print media, I seek to understand how stereotypical notions of sexuality as "straight/normal" and "gay/abnormal" are perpetuated, and likewise, .

  • Beyond the Rhetoric of Assimilation and Cultural Pluralism: Addressing the Tension of Separatism and Conflict in an Immigration- Driven Multiracial Society
    Beyond the Rhetoric of Assimilation and Cultural Pluralism: Addressing the Tension of Separatism and Conflict in an Immigration- Driven Multiracial Society Bill Ong Hingt Immigration is quickly changing the racial demographics of the United States. In so doing, it is creating both tensions and opportunities. The author responds to those who advocate restricted immigration as the solution to racialproblems. He refutes the underlying assumptions of such Euro-immigrationists: that the United States has a solely white, Christian, and European heritage, and that other immigrantshave failed to accultur- ate. Furthermore, culturalpluralism in a multiracialsociety has several benefits, including its connection to constitutionalprinciples and its advan- tages in both the global and the increasinglydiverse domestic economy. In turn, the author takes cultural pluralists to task for not grappling suffi- ciently with interethnic conflict and separatism. While interethnicconflict and separatistsentiment are exacerbated by society's exclusion ofpeople of color, they are problems that cannot be ignored. The author articulatesa new approach to cultural pluralism in a broader definition of America. This new approach would respect diverse views and cultures, including the right of separatists within communities of color. It would also require adherence to a common core of values, including respect for the laws, for the democraticpolitical and economic system, and for equal opportunity.

DESCRIPTORS *Aggression; Delinquency; Elementary Secondary Education; *Prevention; Student Alienation; *Student Behavior; *Student Subcultures IDENTIFIERS *Bullying ABSTRACT Bullying, perhaps the most underrated problem in America's schools today, distracts minds and inhibits the learning process; if left unchecked, it can destroy lives and place society at risk. Bullying is defined as one or more individuals inflicting physical, verbal, or emotional abuse upon another individual or individuals. Subliminal abuses related to bullying--such as being teased, intimidated, or intentionally excluded or ostricized--can create fear, anxiety, and pain tantamount to that resulting from physical abuse. In fact, fear of other students motivated 1 of every 12 student dropouts. This book, divided into two sections and four chapters, examines the bullying problem and defines solutions. Chapter 1 discusses the serious and widespread bullying phenomenon; highlighted is the escalation of the problem, if ignored. Chapter 2 pinpoints bully and victim characteristics, causes, and manifestations; permanent scars for the victim and a gloomy future for the bully are predicted. Chapter 3 suggests heightened public awareness to generate support for handling the antisocial bullying phenomenon and chapter 4 explores the intervention strategies of educator action, parental action, and student action.

  • Actor Kal Penn Holds Roundtable at FSU on Obama's Behalf
    By: Natalie Kates and Jessica Cabrera April 2011 Actor Kal Penn Holds Roundtable at FSU on Obama’s Behalf The Florida State University (FSU)’s Student Government Association and the College Democrats welcomed actor, Kal Penn, and former director of the Obama campaign in Florida, Steve Schale, to FSU as a part of the President’s 100 Roundtables with Young Americans initiative. They held two roundtable discussions on Thursday, April 21, at the University. The first was held at 11:15 a.m. in the Dunlap Student Success Center, and the second took place from 1 until 2:30 p.m. in the FSU Alumni Association. Kalpen Modi (also known as the actor Kal Penn) is currently the Associate Director of the Office of Public Engagement for the Obama Administration. Before his work at the White House, Modi achieved fame through his roles as Kumar in the Harold & Kumar film series, and Dr. Lawrence Kutner on the prime-time drama, House. "The president in March challenged his staff to hold a hundred roundtables across the country," said Schale. "Students in Tallahassee took the initiative and applied, and this is the third stop for Kal in Florida; he was at University of Florida and FAMU. Kal was an intern for Sen. Obama during the campaign, and after the campaign he went to go work with Obama. He works with youth around the country and we're fortunate to have him coming to Florida." Modi met with 14 politically-interested Florida State students and alumni in the Dunlap Student Success Center from 11:15 a.m.
