  • Shanlon “Shan” Wu Is a Former Federal Prosecutor Who Served in The
    [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________ Legal analysis & commentary delivered with clarity, savvy, & humor. Shan excels at breaking down complex legal & political topics into plain language with thought-provoking points of view. He is a CNN legal analyst, appears regularly on National Public Radio & his writing is regularly published in national print & digital platforms. Shanlon “Shan” Wu is a former federal prosecutor who served in the Clinton Administration as Counsel to Attorney General Janet Reno and is now a nationally known criminal defense & college student defense lawyer. He appears regularly on CNN, National Public Radio, podcasts and streaming media, offering insightful, often humorous analysis on issues including the Trump impeachments, Mueller Russian probe, sex crimes and politics inside the Department of Justice. Recent notable cases include his representation of Rick Gates – co-defendant with Paul Manafort – in the Mueller Russian probe as well as the case of Mimi Groves – a University of Tennessee cheerleader who was victimized by “cancel culture.” Shan’s writing on topics such as racism in the law, the Mid-Term Elections, sexual assault, and the Harvard Affirmative Action lawsuit brought by Asian American students, reflects a style honed by a MFA in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College and an English Literature degree from Vassar College. His work has appeared in CNN Opinions, The Washington Post, The Hill, xoJane, and The Daily Beast. As the only child of Chinese immigrants who were political refugees, Shan brings a strong Asian American and minority perspective to the political and legal issues of the day. From his days of being the only Asian amateur boxer in tournaments and the first Asian American to win Best Advocate as both a first-year and upper-classman at Georgetown law school, to now being one of the only Asian lawyers on national television - Shan has always blazed his own trail.

  • Terrorizing Gender: Transgender Visibility and the Surveillance Practices of the U.S
    Terrorizing Gender: Transgender Visibility and the Surveillance Practices of the U.S. Security State A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Mia Louisa Fischer IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Mary Douglas Vavrus, Co-Adviser Dr. Jigna Desai, Co-Adviser June 2016 © Mia Louisa Fischer 2016 Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank my family back home in Germany for their unconditional support of my academic endeavors. Thanks and love especially to my Mom who always encouraged me to be creative and queer – far before I knew what that really meant. If I have any talent for teaching it undoubtedly comes from seeing her as a passionate elementary school teacher growing up. I am very thankful that my 92-year-old grandma still gets to see her youngest grandchild graduate and finally get a “real job.” I know it’s taking a big worry off of her. There are already several medical doctors in the family, now you can add a Doctor of Philosophy to the list. I promise I will come home to visit again soon. Thanks also to my sister, Kim who has been there through the ups and downs, and made sure I stayed on track when things were falling apart. To my dad, thank you for encouraging me to follow my dreams even if I chased them some 3,000 miles across the ocean. To my Minneapolis ersatz family, the Kasellas – thank you for giving me a home away from home over the past five years.

  • Participatory Propaganda Model 1
    A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 1 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Alicia Wanless Michael Berk Director of Strategic Communications, Visiting Research Fellow, SecDev Foundation Centre for Cyber Security and International [email protected] Relations Studies, University of Florence [email protected] Paper presented at the "Social Media & Social Order, Culture Conflict 2.0" conference organized by Cultural Conflict 2.0 and sponsored by the Research Council of Norway on 1 December 2017, Oslo. To be published as part of the conference proceedings in 2018. A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 2 Abstract Existing research on aspects of propaganda in a digital age tend to focus on isolated techniques or phenomena, such as fake news, trolls, memes, or botnets. Providing invaluable insight on the evolving human-technology interaction in creating new formats of persuasive messaging, these studies lend to an enriched understanding of modern propaganda methods. At the same time, the true effects and magnitude of successful influencing of large audiences in the digital age can only be understood if target audiences are perceived not only as ‘objects’ of influence, but as ‘subjects’ of persuasive communications as well. Drawing from vast available research, as well as original social network and content analyses conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, this paper presents a new, qualitatively enhanced, model of modern propaganda – “participatory propaganda” - and discusses its effects on modern democratic societies. Keywords: propaganda, Facebook, social network analysis, content analysis, politics A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 3 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Rapidly evolving information communications technologies (ICTs) have drastically altered the ways individuals engage in the public information domain, including news ways of becoming subjected to external influencing.
