    ENGLISH 2810: Television as Literature (v. 1.0) 9:00 – 10:15 T/Th | EH 229 Dr. Scott Rogers | [email protected] | EH 448 http://faculty.weber.edu/srogers The Course The average American watches about 5 hours of television a day. We are told that this is bad. We are told that television is bad for us, that it is bad for our families, and that it is wasting our time. But not all television is that way. Some television shows have what we might call “literary pretensions.” Shows such as Twin Peaks, Homicide: Life on the Street, The Wire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Battlestar Galactica, and LOST have been both critically acclaimed and the subject of much academic study. In this course, we shall examine a select few of these shows, watching complete seasons as if they were self-contained literary texts. In other words, in this course, you will watch TV and get credit for it. You will also learn to view television in an active and critical fashion, paying attention to the standard literary techniques (e.g. character, theme, symbol, plot) as well as televisual issues such as lighting, music, and camerawork. Texts Students will be expected to own, or have access to, the following: Firefly ($18 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com) and Serenity ($4 used on amazon.com) LOST season one ($25 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com or abc.com) Battlestar Galactica season one ($30 on amazon.com) It is in your best interest to buy or borrow these, if only to make it easier for you to go back and re-watch episodes for your assignments.

QUEER LOCKDOWN: COMING TO TERMS WITH THE ONGOING CRIMINALIZATION OF LGBTQ COMMUNITIES Ann Cammett * INTRODUCTION Activists have long engaged in a wide range of worthwhile initiatives in pursuit of social justice. However, it is less common that groups have an unambiguous mandate to develop a philosophical and strategic approach that integrates organizing across issues. In this paper, I argue that we must prioritize the concerns of low-income queer1 people who have been profoundly affected by the criminal justice system. In doing so, activist scholars can expand on a tradition of articulating a comprehensive vision of social justice that encompasses the true needs of the most disenfranchised, while at the same time broadening the larger discourse around civil and human rights.

  • Sexual Orientation / Gender Identity References U.S. Department of State Human Rights Reports for 2011 (Released May 24, 2012)
    Sexual Orientation / Gender Identity References U.S. Department of State Human Rights Reports for 2011 (Released May 24, 2012) The Department of State’s 2011 Human Rights Report catalogues an ongoing range of abuses and discriminatory treatment directed at lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people worldwide – starkly underscoring what Secretary Hillary Clinton has called “…one of the remaining human rights challenges of our time.” Speaking in Geneva on December 6, 2011, Secretary Clinton noted that, too often, LGBT people remain an “invisible minority,” members of which “…are arrested, beaten, terrorized, even executed…” while “…authorities empowered to protect them look the other way or, too often, even join in the abuse.” The newly released report bears witness to such abuse. Most disturbingly, it documents that police, other government security forces, and prison personnel have been implicated directly in the harassment or abuse of LGBT citizens in a range of countries, including (but not limited to) Afghanistan, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, and Panama. Harassment and abuse often were directed in particular at transgender individuals. In Turkey, a range of LGBT organizations complained of harassment by police and government authorities. In Cote d’Ivoire, the report notes that “gay men were reportedly subjected to beatings, imprisonment, verbal abuse, humiliation, and extortion by police, gendarmes, and members of the armed forces.” The report also describes broader patterns of discrimination against LGBT individuals in many areas of the world. In Sierra Leone and India, LGBT people have been denied basic social services, from health services to housing.

    The Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Equality in Employment Project would like to support your business by o!ering free half day seminars, tailored consultancy, support and advice, promoting greater equality and diversity in the workplace, leading to improved productivity and growth and keeping your business in line with current relevant legislation. Businesses are facing increasing challenges in a competitive economy where workforces and customer bases are more diverse than ever. In a time of economic stress we need to "nd innovative ways to stimulate our economy, and reduce the number of days productivity lost each year. Businesses which foster and promote diversity do better in terms of productivity and growth, with higher sta! retention rates. While promoting equality and diversity in the workplace is one way a business can demonstrate their compliance with the law, evidence shows better results for businesses that view equality and diversity as intrinsic parts of their organisation, central to the ethos and culture of the business, rather than an add on.

Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2012 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This thesis is dedicated to everyone who has ever been obsessed with a television show. Everyone who knows that adrenaline rush you get when you just can’t stop watching. Here’s to finding yourself laughing and crying along with the characters. But most importantly, here’s to shows that give us a break from the day-to-day milieu and allow us to think about the profound, important questions of life. May many shows give us this opportunity as Lost has. Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my parents, Steve and Jody, for their love and support as I pursued my area of interest. Without them, I would not find myself where I am now. I would like to thank my advisor, Juliet Schor, for her immense help and patience as I embarked on combining my personal interests with my academic pursuits. Her guidance in methodology, searching the literature, and general theory proved invaluable to the completion of my project. I would like to thank everyone else who has provided support for me throughout the process of this project—my friends, my professors, and the Presidential Scholars Program. I’d like to thank Professor Susan Michalczyk for her unending support and for believing in me even before I embarked on my four years at Boston College, and for being the one to initially point me in the direction of sociology.

  • Gender Identity Trouble
    GENDER IDENTITY TROUBLE An Analysis of the Underrepresentation of Trans* Professors in Canadian Universities‡ Alexandre Baril, translated by Helene Bigras-Dutrisac and David Guignion Abstract This article considers the under-representation of trans persons who specialize in trans issues employed as professors in Canadian universities, with particular attention paid to the case of depart- ments of gender and feminist studies. The research question is: what are the systemic barriers preventing the displacement of the cis-centric subject from the center of francophone Canadian aca- demic feminism, and contributing to the exclusion of trans persons ? This article analyzes these obstacles. The first part demonstrates the presence of cisgenderism in teaching and research, creating a glass ceiling for trans persons in academia. The second studies the absence of trans issues in feminist francophone teaching and research, despite the interest of students in these issues. The third part employs a transfeminist approach to trouble the cisgender normativity of gender and feminist studies and the disciplinary divisions that marginalize trans persons in academia. ‡ We would like to thank Alexandre Baril and Philosophiques for allowing us to translate and republish “Trouble dans l’identité de genre : le transféminisme et la subversion de l’identité cisgenre : Une analyse de la sous-représentation des personnes trans* professeur-es dans les universités canadiennes,” Philosophiques, 44, no. 2, (2017): 285-317. The data presented in this translation have been updated from the initial publication of this text.

    A Dream Denied: The Criminalization of Homelessness in U.S. Cities Photo courtesy of castanet.net A Report by The National Coalition for the Homeless and The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty January 2006 ABOUT THE NATIONAL COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS Founded in 1984, the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) is a private, non-profit, national advocacy organization that exists to educate all levels of society in order to identify and put to an end the social and economic causes of homelessness. NCH is the nation’s oldest and largest national homelessness advocacy organization, comprised of activists, service providers, and persons who are, or have been, homeless striving toward a single goal – to end homelessness. It is the mission of NCH to create the systemic and attitudinal changes necessary to prevent and end homelessness, while concurrently working to increase the capacity of local supportive housing and service providers to better meet the urgent needs of those families and individuals now homeless in their communities. NCH focuses its work on four policy areas: civil rights of those who are without homes, housing that is affordable to those with the lowest incomes, accessible/comprehensive health care and other needed support services, and livable incomes that make it possible to afford the basic necessities of life. The strategies we use to implement our mission are: litigation, lobbying, policy analysis, public education, community organizing, research, and providing technical assistance.

Immigration law and policy try to answer these· questions, and so it is no wonder the immigration debate attracts so much public atten­ tion. After all, it represents our public attempt to define ourselves as a community, and to decide what we ask of those who want to join our ranks. The stream of immigrants to the United States continues un­ abated. Many come here legally; others come any way they can. This seeiningly inexorable trend highlights a complex national am­ bivalence about our past, present, and future.
