  • Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition
    Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.

  • Beauty, Femininity, and South Asian American Culture
    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction: Beauty Matters On September 14, 2013, Nina Davuluri, a twenty-four-year-old Miss New York beauty-pageant queen, became the first Indian American to win the title of Miss America. Within minutes of Davuluri’s history-making win, Twitter was abuzz with racist tweets, some calling Davuluri a “terrorist” and a “member of Al Qaeda.” Others misidentified Davuluri, a Hindu whose family hails from South India, as both “Muslim” and “Arab,” reli- gious and geographic identities that, in the wake of a post-9/11 cultural backlash against Muslim, Arab, and South Asian populations and ram- pant Islamophobia, were intended to disqualify Davuluri from the title of Miss America—as one racist tweeter put it, “This is Miss America not Miss Muslim.” Yet, just as quickly, countertweets came pouring in to defend Davuluri, whose political platform for the pageant was “Celebrat- ing Diversity through Cultural Competency.” Rather predictably, these tweets appealed to the multicultural ethos of the Miss America pageant, citing Davuluri’s win as evidence of the US nation’s embrace of ethni- cally diverse ideals of “American beauty.” In the days that followed, South Asian American writers and blog- gers weighed in as well, many arguing that Davuluri’s Indian features productively challenged “euro-centric ideals of beauty” and contributed to “a broadening understanding of Americanness in a space that has historically taken a fairly narrow view of what qualifies as an accept- ably American appearance and background” (qtd. in Hafiz). Other South Asian Americans, who were more critical of the sexist structure of beauty pageants, sidelined the issue of Davuluri’s beauty and focused on 2 / introduction Excerpt • Temple University Press the cyber-racism that it incited.

Olstad IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Arlene A. Teraoka May 2016 © Ashley M. Olstad 2016 Acknowledgements My studies, research, and dissertation writing have been supported by several institutions, for which I must express my most sincere appreciation: the University of Minnesota, primarily for the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship and Graduate Research Partnership Program; the Department of German, Scandinavian & Dutch, particularly for the Hella Lindemeyer Mears Fellowship, Gerhardt Weiss Fellowship, and Elizabeth Folsom Rathert Graduate Fellowship; the Center for German and European Studies; the Center for Jewish Studies; DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service); and the German-American Fulbright Commission for a Fulbright Grant in Anthropology. I am also grateful to the Humboldt University and Institute for European Ethnology for hosting me during my Fulbright year in Berlin. At the individual level, my thanks go first to my advisor, Arlene Teraoka, for providing guidance and support throughout my graduate studies and “tough love” at the end. I could not imagine having gone forward with my research project without her invaluable input. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Arlene for having mentored me as a teacher; I learned from the best. Thanks too to the late Daphne Berdahl, my initial co-advisor, whose scholarship has continued to inform my thinking. Even though she was not here to see me through to the fieldwork and writing stage, I greatly benefitted from her help in formulating my initial questions.
