Interview with Justin Sane from Anti-Flag
Interview with Justin Sane from Anti-Flag Photo credit: Getty Images A band that has been punk in its truest form since the early ’90s, Pittsburgh act Anti-Flag always has something to say with a fistful of rage when it comes to the government, what you see on TV and society as a whole. Anti-Flag released their ninth studio album American Spring last month to make their voices heard once again. They’ll be ripping up the stage at Simon’s 677 on Jun 19, so I chatted with frontman Justin Sane about the band’s recent solidarity with the Occupy movement, making a difference in your community and the band’s longevity. Rob Duguay: Nearly four years after the Occupy movement started back in 2011, people have either said that the movement has fizzled out or that it’s still relevant, but on an underground level. What do you think about the present state of Occupy and how much progress do you think it has made so far? Justin Sane: I think the most important part about the Occupy movement was the truths that it brought to light and the ideas that it brought to light. It’s going to take different shapes and different forms whether you attach the name Occupy to it or not. To be honest with you it doesn’t matter. What I really thought was amazing about the movement, and it had a big influence on American Spring in a lot of ways, was the notion of hope. This idea of decentralized power that Occupy brought, the idea of direct democracy and Occupy introducing the vocabulary of wealth inequality and particularly the 99% vs.

The Mixtape: a Case Study in Emancipatory Journalism
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE MIXTAPE: A CASE STUDY IN EMANCIPATORY JOURNALISM Jared A. Ball, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Directed By: Dr. Katherine McAdams Associate Professor Philip Merrill College of Journalism Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies During the 1970s the rap music mixtape developed alongside hip-hop as an underground method of mass communication. Initially created by disc-jockeys in an era prior to popular “urban” radio and video formats, these mixtapes represented an alternative, circumventing traditional mass medium. However, as hip-hop has come under increasing corporate control within a larger consolidated media ownership environment, so too has the mixtape had to face the challenge of maintaining its autonomy. This media ownership consolidation, vertically and horizontally integrated, has facilitated further colonial control over African America and has exposed as myth notions of democratizing media in an undemocratic society. Acknowledging a colonial relationship the writer created FreeMix Radio: The Original Mixtape Radio Show where the mixtape becomes both a source of free cultural expression and an anti-colonial emancipatory journalism developed as a “Third World” response to the needs of postcolonial nation-building. This dissertation explores the contemporary colonizing effects of media consolidation, cultural industry function, and copyright ownership, concluding that the development of an underground press that recognizes the tremendous disparities in advanced technological access (the “digital divide”) appears to be the only viable alternative. The potential of the mixtape to serve as a source of emancipatory journalism is studied via a three-pronged methodological approach: 1) An explication of literature and theory related to the history of and contemporary need for resistance media, 2) an analysis of the mixtape as a potential underground mass press and 3) three focus group reactions to the mixtape as resistance media, specifically, the case study of the writer’s own FreeMix Radio: The Original Mixtape Radio Show.

Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.

Breast Cancer Research at CSP by Nathan Lechband

"My sister was 23 and had a lumpectomy (a removal of a be- nign tumor in the breast) right before. M y whole family was dealing with breast cancer issues at once." Two years ago Kyle attended a topics sem- inar in which Concordia biology professor Amy Gort introduced him to the possibilit y of breast cancer research. Kyle will be helping with breast cancer research that has already been taking place at Concordia for the past two years. "This semester we're writing the proposal and next semester well delve into the actual research," he said.z Most studies of cancer cell lines are done at large research institutions or privately funded labs. According to the National Cancer Institute cancer research projects received a total of $4.83 billion in 2005. Of those funds $560.1 million went to breast cancer projects.
