The Undergraduate Academic Standards and Honors Committee (UASH) is the final decider on academic eligi- Academic Academic Eligibility bility, so they can grant waivers for any parts of this policy if needed. The current academic eligibility policy is based on a simple rule: In each given term, all students must pass at least 27 units of course- work with a minimum term GPA of 1.9. All students must earn an average of 36 units per term over each academic year for a total of 108 units. If you are a freshman on pass-fail, the only requirement is that you pass 27 units of coursework, with no GPA requirement. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but you can never become ineligible as long as you stay above this line. However, if you pass fewer than 36 units in a term or if you fail a core course, you will continue to be a student in good standing, but you will have to talk to the Dean before registering to make sure that everything is still going well. If you need to take a light term for any reason, the Deans’ office can approve an underload petition, which can allow you to fall below the 36 unit line without any trouble in two cases: if the underload is approved before add day or if the Dean waives this requirement. However, if you get an approved underload to drop a course after add day and the Dean does not grant the waiver, you will become ineligible even though you passed all of your classes. If you find yourself in this circumstance, feel free to talk to your advisor or anyone at the Deans’ office. Reach out to someone if you need help! Finally, if you do become ineligible, there is a well-defined process for handing the ineligibility. If it is your first time being ineligible, the Deans’ office can summarily restate you, or they can have UASH handle the restatement process. The majority of the time, the Deans’ office will handle the reinstatement. After the second ineligibility, you will have to take two terms (not including summer) off and then 8 9 Extension (n).

    La Brea and Beyond: The Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas Edited by John M. Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

My committee, in particular, has been a dream team, in Robin Kelley’s sense of the word. Each has inspired a belief in achieving the impossible and doing so with grace, integrity, depth, and health. Each committee member in their own way has modeled for me the kind of scholar and professor I hope to become. For their generosity, patience, and faith as I waddled through this project, I thank them. Each are snappy dressers in my humble opinion, a fact that has been neither inconsequential nor unimportant in my growth and development as a scholar of costume and performance. Thank you. My gratitude to the U.C. Riverside Department of Dance for being a fertile intellectual climate to journey as a graduate student. I thank my graduate colleagues and friends – with special mention of Hannah Schwadron, dancer, friend, and yoga instructor – for suggesting that doing a downward dog could inspire a new world view, in seconds. I am heartily thankful for my dissertation chair, Dr.

  • The Present Elsewhere: Theorizing an Aesthetics of Displacement in Contemporary African American and Postcolonial Literatures
    THE PRESENT ELSEWHERE: THEORIZING AN AESTHETICS OF DISPLACEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN AMERICAN AND POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURES Mary Alice Kirkpatrick A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Minrose Gwin William L. Andrews Pamela Cooper Rebecka Rutledge Fisher Trudier Harris © 2010 Mary Alice Kirkpatrick ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mary Alice Kirkpatrick: The Present Elsewhere: Theorizing an Aesthetics of Displacement in Contemporary African American and Postcolonial Literatures (Under the direction of Minrose Gwin) “The Present Elsewhere” investigates the aesthetic traits and political implications of displacement in contemporary African American, Caribbean, and Canadian works. Arguing that displacement resonates textually, I interrogate the degree to which artists purposely leave their works in states of flux. Framed through the lens of nomadic, transitional figures (including diasporic cultural orphans, child clairvoyants, and reincarnated ghosts), this project develops the notion of an aesthetics of displacement – that is to say, an aesthetics informed by political urgency. Writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Toni Cade Bambara, and Octavia Butler rearrange customary geographic and chronological placements, unsettle narrative lines, and challenge shared histories of oppression. Propelled into active engagement, readers are encouraged to adopt new roles as migrants and witnesses. The political significance of works that displace radiates externally, as readers are directed toward sites of change well beyond the confines of individual texts. By bringing together seemingly divergent traditions, “The Present Elsewhere” examines the specific historical conditions, cultural backgrounds, and geographic contexts that produce sites of displacement within the Caribbean island, U.
