There were times when I could not put pen to paper. The activity and its investments were testing. Thoughts, feelings, emotions, and imaginings were difficult to capture. The right words were not forthcoming. Sentences, paragraphs, I and sections proved to be even more difficult. There were times when felt isolated. I had no true sense of belonging. I felt I was up against an establishment, up against convention, and I felt lost, yearning to arrive I somewhere, to be housed by someone. There were times when I felt was doing this project for someone else and not for myself. It simply became an activity, a chore that I had to coax myself into doing. I was told by some that it was a means to a greater end that I just had to learn to struggle and cope with. There were times when I became my worst critic, even more so than those who were actually my critics. There were times when I wished I could start all over again and go down a different path, perhaps one that did not involve studying for a doctorate degree. But here I am now, completing the final words, the final sentences, the final paragraphs, and the final section of my project. I have arrived, and I feel as though I have arrived. The project and its process made me stronger, more confident, and a more faithful believer in what it seeks to do, in what it says. I began this project in the face of scepticism, and now I complete it knowing that it needed to be done. This would have never happened without the support of a number of significant social actors. At University of Glasgow, I would like to first and foremost thank my thesis supervisor, Barbara Littlewood. Barbara took on this project with an open mind and proved to be, to say the very least, a careful, critical reader throughout its conception. She gave me space when I needed space, she encouraged me when I needed encouragement, she reassured me when I Acknowledgments iii needed reassurance, she gave me refuge from the thesis when I needed refuge, and she strengthened the thesis when and where it needed strengthened. She always had references and photocopies in hand, and her continued interest in my project kept it alive. I could not have completed it without her support. I would also like to thank Susana Carro- Ripalda, who was literally parachuted in towards the end of the project as a second thesis supervisor. Susana was a scrupulous reader of final draft chapters, and she provided very useful comments and suggestions on subjects that were not her specialisation. She too provided encouragement and reassurance when I needed them. I would like to thank Bridget Fowler, David Frisby, and Harvie Ferguson for assistance with administrative matters. Paul Littlewood, Ruth Madigan, Simon Charsley, and Nicole Bourque also supported my academic endeavours in numerous ways. I would particularly like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to do what I enjoy most about academic life: tutoring/lecturing and learning from students, who, by the way, caught me off guard more often than not. The project was also a product of my undergraduate upbringing at Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon, United States. Particular feminist figures played a key role in the development of my thinking, and I thank them for their continued support and inspiration. They include: Diane Nelson, Deborah Heath, Jean Ward, and Elaine Maveety. Although the project was mainly self-funded (I will literally be repaying a 30-year mortgage), I received some financial assistance from sources that need to be acknowledged: my parents, Stephen and Lynn Mokrovich, my brother, Justin Mokrovich, and my partner, John Dawson. University of Glasgow also fuelled my curiosity when it needed fuelling. The Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Applied Social Sciences funded my travel to revisit my drag field sites in Portland, Oregon in February 1999. The interlocutors who participated in my fieldwork on gay male male- to-female drag also informed the thesis. I wish to express my thanks to Acknowledgments iv the drag artists, staff, and patrons of The Embers Avenue and Darcelle XV who took time out from their hectic lives to participate in interviews, sharing their experiences and knowledge of drag. I would especially like to thank 'Ray,' my key interlocutor, who selflessly supported my research on drag. He ensured that my field work came alive by helping me to do drag for the stage. Friends, family, and colleagues provided a range of support throughout the course of my project: intellectual, emotional, psychological, I social, and material (often food and drink). They kept me sanely intact. am thankful for the company of friends on both sides of the Atlantic: Jessica Reuling, Bridget Weizer, Jenette Purcell, Paul Craig, Pieter Rosenthal, Michael Hibbs, Jan Kolatowicz, Duncan Cumming, Donald Cameron, Rob Reid, Lawrence Healy, Mike Mackenzie, Brian Tomlin, Ian Raymond, Claire Raymond, Jackie Donaghey, and Catriona Mackellar. My best friend, Pat Raymond, in particular, helped me through it all. Her door was always open, and by now there is a permanent indent in her sofa. Particular family members were always there for me and encouraged my academic endeavours: Leighton and Carol Read, Gretchen Burke, Mom Ma Rue Gray, and Justin and Nancy Mokrovich.

This dissertation is dedicated to them. It would have not been possible without their stories. I want to give my gratitude to my mother, who set an example by completing her doctoral degree with three exuberant boys and a full-time job in mental health. I also want to dedicate this to my father, who encouraged me to accomplish my goals and taught me that nothing is too great to achieve. I want to thank my siblings who have shown support throughout my doctoral degree. I also want to thank my husband, Michael Saginaw, for his patience while I spent many hours in solitude while writing my dissertation.

  • Restorative Justice Policy in Context: a Legal‑Archaeological Analysis
    Int J Semiot Law https://doi.org/10.1007/s11196-020-09747-0 Restorative Justice Policy in Context: A Legal‑Archaeological Analysis Giuseppe Maglione1 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper provides an original, in-depth analysis of English and Welsh criminal and penal policy on restorative justice. By using a historically-discursive approach— legal archaeology—this study frstly outlines the overarching representations of restorative justice within policy, unpacking their internal organisation. Then, it inter- prets such patterns of knowledge in light of specifc cultural, political and profes- sional transformations involving the Anglo-Welsh criminal justice feld over the last 30 years. Along these lines, it generates a historically documented policy map whilst problematising the taken-for-granted images of restorative justice which populate regulations, codes and laws. This has implications for the study of the relationships between restorative justice policy and practice and for future research on the insti- tutionalisation of this ‘new’ frontier of penality. More generally, the exploration of (unexpected) links between policy, politics and culture, provides material for a criti- cal assessment of how state agencies appropriate community-based and practice-led forms of justice. Keywords Restorative justice · Reparation · Legal archaeology · Discourses · England and Wales 1 Introduction Criminologists and legal scholars have hailed restorative justice (RJ) as one of the most ‘signifcant developments in criminal justice and criminological practice and thinking’ [21: 19] over the last 30 years, globally. Although defnitions of RJ are contested [68], there is a recurrent assumption delimiting this concept: people directly involved in a crime should have a say on how to deal with its consequences [10, 132, 139].

  • A Case Study Exploring the Agency of Black Lgbtq+ Youth In
    A CASE STUDY EXPLORING THE AGENCY OF BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’S BALLROOM CULTURE By Shamari K. Reid Dissertation Committee: Professor Michelle Knight-Manuel, Sponsor Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 19 May 2021 . Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY EXPLORING BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’s BALLROOM CULTURE Shamari K. Reid Recognizing the importance of context with regard to youth agency, this study explores how 8 Black LGBTQ+ youth understand their practices of agency in ballroom culture, an underground Black LGBTQ+ culture. Ballroom was chosen as the backdrop for this scholarly endeavor because it allowed for the study of the phenomenon — Black LGBTQ+ youth agency — in a space where the youth might feel more able to be themselves, especially given that the 2019 Black LGBTQ+ youth report published by the Human Rights Campaign revealed that only 35% of Black LGBTQ+ youth reported being able to “be themselves at school” (Kahn et al., 2019). Thus, instead of asking what is wrong with schools, this study inverted the question to explore what is “right” about ballroom culture in which Black LGBTQ+ youth might practice different kinds of agency due to their intersectional racial and LGBTQ+ identities being recognized and celebrated. Framed by the youth’s understanding of their own agency across different contexts, my research illuminates the complex interrelationships between youth agency, social identity, and context. Extending the literature on youth agency and Black LGBTQ+ youth, the findings of this study suggest that in many ways these youth are always already practicing agency to work toward different ends, and that these different end goals are greatly mediated by the contexts in which they find themselves.

  • Sharing Economies and Affective Labour in Montréal's Kiki Scene
    SERVING EACH OTHER: SHARING ECONOMIES AND AFFECTIVE LABOUR IN MONTRÉAL’S KIKI SCENE by Jess D. Lundy A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Women’s and Gender Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, Jess D. Lundy Abstract Against a tense socio-political backdrop of white supremacy, intensifying pressures of neoliberal fiscal austerity, and queer necropolitics, this thesis addresses performance-based activist forms of place-making for urban-based queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of colour. Using participant observation and qualitative interviews with pioneering members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s emerging Waacking community and interpreting my findings through the theoretical lens of queer of colour theory, critical whiteness studies, queer Latinx performance studies and Chicana feminism, I argue that Kiki subculture, which is maintained by pedagogical processes of ‘each one, teach one’, is instrumental in facilitating i) life-affirming queer kinship bonds, (ii) alternative ways to simultaneously embody and celebrate non- normative gender expression with Black, Asian, and Latinx identity, iii) non-capitalist economies of sharing, and iv) hopeful strategies of everyday community activism and resilience to appropriative processes during economic insecurity and necropolitical turmoil. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s Waacking founder for their willingness to participate in this study despite the understandable reflex to safe-guard their own. Secondly, I extend my sincerest gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr. Dan Irving. Apart from disproving that you should never meet your heroes, Dr.

There is a perception among some observers, however, that this post-New Deal consensus has recently come under serious legal attack, * Associate Professor, Northwestern University School of Law.

  • Why Legal History Matters
    293 WHY LEGAL HISTORY MATTERS Jim Phillips* This is the text of Professor Phillips' Salmond Lecture delivered at the Victoria University of Wellington Law Faculty on 24 June 2010. In it Professor Phillips makes the case for why legal history matters both for lawyers and historians and argues for a continued contextual approach to the study of legal history. I INTRODUCTION Chief Justice, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I am greatly honoured by the invitation to deliver the Salmond Lecture. I have long known of John Salmond as the author of one of the leading early twentieth century textbooks on torts, and as someone who also wrote about legal history. What I had not known before I worked on this lecture was what a remarkable and varied career he had, as legislator, diplomat and judge as well as legal scholar.1 It is indeed humbling to be giving a lecture named after such a towering figure. John Salmond's work on torts also made him a significant figure in the legal history of his period, something I will return to later. I like to think he would have approved of someone being asked to reflect generally about legal history and its importance. Whether he would have approved of the content of my remarks is another question. When I told a friend of mine about my visit here, to talk about why legal history matters as a prelude to a legal history conference, she suggested that New Zealand is a long way to go to preach to * Professor, Faculty of Law, Department of History, and Centre of Criminology, University of Toronto; Editor-in-Chief, Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.
