Mel C Aka Sporty Spice About AKA MEL C AKA SPORTY SPICE ABOUT The start of Melanie’s career really needs no explanation at all, as it is rather well documented… After the iconic 1996 debut single ‘Wannabe’ topped the charts in 37 countries, Spice Girls’ debut album ’Spice’ went on to sell more than 31 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album of all time by a female group. The girls went on to sell more than 85 million records, releasing three studio albums, 13 singles and winning a host of awards including a BRIT for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Melanie’s first solo venture, was her featuring on the hit single ‘When You’re Gone’ with Bryan Adams. As a solo artist, Melanie has achieved over 3 million album sales, two Number 1 singles and six Top 10 singles, including the iconic hits ‘I Turn To You’ and ‘Never be the Same Again’ featuring the late Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez. In 2005 her track ‘First Day Of My Life’ was to become one of her biggest hits to date, selling over 400,000 copies in Germany alone. It also went on to chart at Number 1 in Spain, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland and Portugal where it helped to propel the album ‘Beautiful Intentions’ to double platinum status and kept it at Number 1 for 9 weeks. In 2012, Melanie reunited with the Spice Girls for what she described as the highlight of their career as a group – performing at the Olympic Closing Ceremony in London. In one of the most anticipated appearances and in front of a global TV audience of billions, the world could never look at black cabs in the same way again! In the summer of 2019 the Spice Girls returned again, this time for a 13 date stadium tour of the UK. The girls sold an incredible 700,000 tickets, crashing Ticketmaster's website on the way to becoming the online platform's fastest selling tour of all time. Not bad for a band who last released new music over 20 years ago.

    Denison University Denison Digital Commons Denison Student Scholarship 2021 Social Integration and High Achieving Columbus City Students: A Comprehensive Analysis Maxwell Newton Denison University Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.denison.edu/studentscholarship Recommended Citation Newton, Maxwell, "Social Integration and High Achieving Columbus City Students: A Comprehensive Analysis" (2021). Denison Student Scholarship. 54. https://digitalcommons.denison.edu/studentscholarship/54 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by Denison Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Denison Student Scholarship by an authorized administrator of Denison Digital Commons. Social Integration and High Achieving Columbus City Students: A Comprehensive Analysis Maxwell Douglas Newton Advisor: Dr. Fareeda Griffith Department of Anthropology/Sociology Senior Thesis 2021 Abstract: Denison Columbus Alliance scholars are a group of high achieving urban students who not only face informational gaps regarding different aspects of university life, but also class and race-based obstacles when trying to integrate into Denison University. Once scholars arrive at Denison, they perceive a major disconnect with the white and upper middle-class majority on campus due to their predominantly middle and lower-middle class upbringing as well as their experience as either people of color or their immersion in culturally diverse settings. Along with these perceptions, students face structurally created race and class-based barriers when exploring the social environment of the university. These barriers in turn effect scholar’s overall social and educational experience on campus and lead to feelings of alienation and discomfort. To overcome these obstacles, scholars develop meaningful formal and informal relationships with mentors as well engage in social coping mechanisms such as codeswitching and protective segregation within organizations that reflect their unique social locations.

Gere, Chair This dissertation focuses on the concept of social equity in the context of performing arts-based cultural exchange. The work draws upon with Performance Studies and Cultural Studies, reviews several examples through Critical Race Studies and Memory Studies lenses, and then makes advances in Whiteness Studies. All cases revolve around the performing arts as a vehicle for bridging difference. From a practical vantage, the dissertation reviews how organizations do or do not succeed in activating their intentions in an equitable fashion. The document culminates in a Checklist for Social Good, offering a tangible way to link programmatic intentions with implementation. Fieldwork cited includes interviews, ethnographies, and participant observations to determine how programmatic design within cultural exchange has affected social narratives, such as whose cultures have value and on whose terms the programs progress. The dissertation is ii particularly concerned with the ways in which different worldviews and cultures can communicate effectively so as to decrease violence and xenophobia.
