  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

  • “Just Ask Mi 'Bout Brooklyn:” West Indian Identities, Transgeographies, and Livin
    “JUST ASK MI ’BOUT BROOKLYN:” WEST INDIAN IDENTITIES, TRANSGEOGRAPHIES, AND LIVING REGGAE CULTURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sabia McCoy-Torres August 2015 © 2015 Sabia McCoy-Torres “JUST ASK MI ’BOUT BROOKLYN:” WEST INDIAN IDENTITIES, TRANSGEOGRAPHIES, AND LIVING REGGAE CULTURE Sabia McCoy-Torres, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 This ethnography explores the symbiotic relationship between the West Indian Diaspora and performance based, Jamaican originated, reggae culture. The field site was Brooklyn, New York. I analyze the intersections of reggae with racial and cultural identity construction, expressions of gender and sexuality, transnationalism, and place making practices. The formation of a local, West Indian led, reggae related economy is also a subject of focus. In order to theorize the impact West Indians have on Brooklyn and their subjectivities, I develop the concepts transgeographies and figurative citizenship. I argue that the West Indian Diaspora creates transgeographic cultural places that specific sociocultural practices and performance help to form. I offer that performance, action, and material alteration coalesce to physically transform space and imbue it with affect and sensory elements that together constitute links to the various nations of the Caribbean. The West Indian geographies of Brooklyn are thereby brought inside the Caribbean space expanding how geography is conceived of as an analytic. Emergent diasporic subjectivities are formed within these transgeographic cultural places, one of them being what I term figurative citizenship. This work also includes analyses of the relationship of West Indians to U.S.

  • Haunting Stories: Narrative Transmissions of South Asian Identities in Diaspora
    HAUNTING STORIES: NARRATIVE TRANSMISSIONS OF SOUTH ASIAN IDENTITIES IN DIASPORA KIRIN NARAYAN Abstract Family stories in the South Asian diaspora are an important link to a South Asian past and the formation of an identity containing facets of South Asia. Drawing on interviews with second-generation South Asian Americans, this essay explores two kinds of stories transmitted within families: family history, and folklore and mythology. In addi- tion to maintaining connections to an ancestral homeland, family sto- ries also connect a web of relatives spread across national locales. Par- ticularly when retold with critical reflection, such stories are an important imaginative resource for crafting diasporic identity. “India haunted me,” observed Arjun in the course of recounting his experiences of growing up as an Indian-American in the mid-West. About 30 years old, of Gujarati background, and with intense search- ing eyes, he laughed ruefully as he remembered being a child. “Some- times I felt like our house was haunted. But now that I think about it, that was just another way of conceiving of difference. Because when something’s haunted, it’s marking it as different. I wasn’t very into ghosts or anything, but, of course, these stories are circulating all around.” In talking about stories “circulating all around” Arjun was refer- ring to narratives that brought shades of his parents’ homeland into their suburban Ohio house. His observation about how cultural dif- ference was signified through India-centred stories raises larger issues of the transmission of cultural narratives within diaspora. How are culturally haunting stories transmitted in diasporic families, and how do they carry South Asian identities forward to a generation born or brought up outside of the subcontinent? How might these stories be adapted and transformed, crafting revised identities? I argue that within diaspora, family stories help maintain links to an ancestral homeland and a web of relatives spread across national locales.
