  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • Tv: a Culture of Abuse? the Edinburgh International Tv Festival and 5 News Announce Industry-Wide Survey Results on Bullying and Sexual Harassment
    TV: A CULTURE OF ABUSE? THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL TV FESTIVAL AND 5 NEWS ANNOUNCE INDUSTRY-WIDE SURVEY RESULTS ON BULLYING AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT • 71% of those surveyed have experienced bullying at work • 68% of those who were bullied did not report it • 54% of those surveyed have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace • 84% of those experiencing sexual harassment did not report it EITF and 5 News conducted an anonymous, industry-wide survey to better understand how prevalent bullying and harassment is within television. A total of 315 people completed the survey, including employees and freelancers from broadcasters and independent production companies, in roles ranging from commissioners and executive producers, to development producers, production managers and series producers. The results showed that a shocking 71% have experienced bullying at work with 65% reporting that it took place in the office and 22% on set or location. Of those reporting as victims of bullying, 78% are female and 22% male and 38% are from indie sector, 31% are freelancers, 17% broadcasters, 14% other. 68% of those surveyed didn’t report it, 78% of which were concerned that if they did, they would lose their job, or it would have negative repercussions on their career. The survey also included anonymous comments which reflect the realities of the work place: “The stigma of reporting bad behaviour needs to be removed. If anyone (especially junior team members) complain about bullying behaviour / harassment, it is them who are isolated and struggle to find work again, rather than the perpetrator.” “Freelancing keeps people silent because they fear that today's bully is tomorrow's boss.” Meanwhile 54% of people have experienced sexual harassment at work, 84% of whom didn’t report it.

  • The Female FTSE Board Report 2014 Crossing the Finish Line
    The Female FTSE Board Report 2014 Crossing the Finish Line Professor Susan Vinnicombe OBE, Dr Elena Doldor, Caroline Turner CRANFIELD INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR WOMEN LEADERS The Female FTSE Board Report 2014 Supporting Sponsors: Foreword FEMALE FTSE BOARD REPORT 2014 It has been exactly 3 years since Lord Davies challenged the UK’s top performing companies to recognise the benefits of gender equality in the boardroom and to take action to increase the number of women on British boards. Since then we have been encouraged to see chairmen and their businesses take ownership of this agenda. The figures speak for themselves. FTSE 100 companies have increased the number of women on their board from 12.5% in 2011 to 20.7% today, with the FTSE 250 similarly improving from 7.8% to 15.6%. We have also seen considerable efforts and a significant change of mindset from other key players such as investors, executive search firms and business leaders – all working together to bring about real change. We are also pleased to see that within the FTSE 100, 98% of boards now include women. Glencore Xstrata and Antofagasta – are now the outliers. This is a considerable turnaround from where 1 in 5 boards were all male in 2011. The FTSE 250 also continues in the same vein with around 50 all male boards today, down by well over half on 3 years ago. In addition, this report highlights the many strong women candidates capable of filling board positions. Cranfield have identified 100 of their top Women to Watch, which is included here.
