Black Girl Genius: Theorizing Girlhood, Identity and Knowledge Production Black Girl Genius: Theorizing Girlhood, Identity and Knowledge Production Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sierra J. Austin Graduate Program in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Dr. Treva Lindsey, Co-Advisor Dr. Elaine Richardson, Co- Advisor Dr. Wendy Smooth, Committee Member Copyrighted by Sierra J. Austin 2018 Abstract Through a framework combining Black girlhood studies, hip hop feminism, and critical discourse perspectives, this qualitative research project explores the ways in which Black middle school girls intellectually apply their collective embodied knowledge and Black Girl Genius (gender and age specific language, art, performance and music) to enact freedom at a time of national anti- black girlness. In identifying and building upon the agentive discourse practices of Black girls, this works seeks to develop, excavate, and preserve the critical consciousness of Black girls, while also elucidating the self-care practices that emerge as a researcher working from girlhood. Implicated in self-care is the loving act of serving as a homegirli, which incites a unique methodological disruption that makes hip hop feminist ideology accessible to broader audiences, rather than being confined to the academy. i Dedication I dedicate this scholarship to my daughter, Ryleigh Noelle King. While I began this project many years before your arrival, I now know you are the vessel through which God will allow me to continue speaking life into as many Black girls as I possibly can. You have given me a renewed passion for realizing the beauty we as Black girls possess, as you are my most cherished accomplishment. I promise to love you unconditionally each and every day. To fight for you. To sacrifice for you. To support you in all your endeavors. To make the best possible life I can for you. Despite only having been here a few short weeks, I can emphatically say that you are #BlackGirlMagic. Always remember, you are a child of God. Ancestor to great African kings and queens. I look forward to embarking on this journey called Life with you, and to see you blossom into the embodiment of Black Girl Genius that I write about here. ii Acknowledgments There were many times when I thought I would never, ever get to this page. This has been a long and arduous process that only the Lord could get me through. Therefore, I must begin by thanking God for a ‘right mind’ to author this project when I thought it impossible to write another page. I thank Him for mental fortitude, opportunity, clarity, passion and commitment. To my parents, Barbara and Richard, this would not have been possible without many decades of love, support and sacrifice. I thank you for instilling in me a love of music, which led me here. To my fiancé, Donald E. King, Jr., for encouraging me to keep moving forward. For understanding that my scholarship would sometimes take priority and ensuring that we had a strong foundation from which to build the next chapter of our lives together. To my cousin-sister Tiffany for making me laugh through the frustration and being one of biggest cheerleaders. To my Grandma Pearl. Although it has been 18 years since you passed, you never left my side. I hope I have made you proud of the woman I have become. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee. To Dr. Elaine Richardson (Docta E), words cannot express my sincerest gratitude for the emotional and scholarly support you have provided over the past several years. I cannot imagine what this journey would have been like without you. Before meeting you, I vividly recall reading your work on iii girls and hip hop for my senior research project at the Stokes Library in the nation’s oldest, private historically Black institution for higher learning, Wilberforce University. I had no idea at that time that scholars were writing about the importance of hip hop culture and felt like you were speaking directly to me. I felt like I knew you personally, and when I met you in person as a master’s degree student at the Ohio State University, I was a bit star struck meeting a nationally renowned scholar. You immediately invested in my scholarly pursuits long before I was aware I was capable as a first-generation college student. From writing and submitting my first conference abstract, presenting my first research paper at an academic conference, receiving my first research and travel grants, to the countless hours of training in critical discourse analysis during semesters and summers, and selection for participation in competitive future faculty development programs, your guidance has been pivotal. Most recently, I thank you for your very copious and last-minute revision of my dissertation so that it was ready to undergo defense. Thank you for the loving critique you have continued to provide to make me a better scholar-activist. Thank you for years of encouragement. In addition to joining me in the celebration of scholarly pursuits, you also kept me focused during some of my most trying times. One of them being the passing of my beloved aunt. I recall telling you I would not be able to meet with you on the afternoon of her funeral, only to look up and see you at the cemetery, supporting me from afar. And of course, thank you for the celebrating me iv during my most joyous times, such as my engagement and the birth of my baby girl, Ryleigh. I am so blessed to have met you. Thank you for fighting for me. It has been a privilege to develop under your tutelage. To Dr. Treva Lindsey, it has also been a privilege to develop under your tutelage. I remember the excitement I felt when I learned you would be coming to the department, and that I may have the opportunity to work with you! I have long been a fan of your scholarship and activism. Thank you for walking me through my first job talk. It was a very rewarding experience that I am truly thankful for. Because of you, I was confident and well-prepared. I also appreciate your loving critique throughout the dissertation process and your belief in me through my life’s most recent challenges. Dr. Smooth, Thank you for your guidance. I, too, recall the first day I met you as an undergraduate student participant of the NEW Leadership Ohio Program offered by WGSS and the John Glenn School. You may not remember but, we at lunch together and talked about Black women and the professoriate--something I had no clue about at the time. While I was already ‘sold’ on applying to the department’s master’s degree program, seeing you and learning about your scholarship increased my desire to pursue graduate school. Thank you for serving as my advisor and professor. It was with your v guidance that I published my first book review (Jesus, Jobs & Justice), and became familiar with the day’s most pressing Black feminist debates in your Black Women and Power course. Additionally, thank you for extending my OSU family network through time with your own family and children over the years. I hope I’ve made you proud as well. To my closest friends: Veronica, thank you for making me laugh when I needed it most. You always know how to brighten my spirits. It has truly been an honor being your friend for the past twenty years. Cimone, although our friendship is relatively new, I feel like I’ve known you forever. It’s continues to amaze me that we just “clicked” the way we did and have developed what I know will be a lifelong friendship. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for being my counsel, my hairdresser, my personal event planner and everything in between! I’m so glad to have you as a part of my family, sis. I’m so proud of you, and I know we will continue to inspire one either to do great things. To my Sorors of the Columbus (OH) Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, thank you for your unwavering support. For referring to me lovingly as “Soror Dr. Austin” ever since I joined our illustrious sisterhood in 2014. This kept my eye on the prize. I never dreamed that as only child, that I would one day have such an vi extensive network of women from which to learn from and grow with. I especially thank my sands Chanel, Salvatrice, Shanette, Lisa, Shemane and Angelia. You have traveled to support me at conferences, prayed for me and loved me when I needed it most. Last, but certainly not least, to the girls of the #BlackGirlsOnFleek Afterschool program participants. Thank you all for being yourselves and allowing me to learn, discover and grow with you. Our Tuesday meetings were my day of reprieve and served as one of the few places I could truly be myself as a graduate student at a PWI. I cherish our laughs, our teams and our bond. Words cannot express how excited I am to see what other dynamic things each of you will do as the years go on. I can’t wait for the day you all get to meet my baby girl, Ryleigh. Without you, I would not be here. vi Vita EDUCATION: Ph.D. 2018 Ohio State University Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Major Field: Race, Sexualities & Social Justice Minor Field: Narrative, Culture and Representation M.A.

  • Black Music, Gender & Sexuality
    WGSS 391: Black Music, Gender & Sexuality Fumi Okiji [email protected] Tu/Th 10-11:15am Hasbrouck Laboratory, Room 130 Office hours: Tuesdays, 12-1:30pm, South College, W473 This course explores how black popular music cultures are shaped by performances and representations of gender and sexuality. The course will touch upon a number of themes including hip hop feminism, sex radicalism and camp, gender performativity and black masculinity. We will read music and film/video by artists such as Meshell Ndegeocello, Prince, Nicki Minaj, Bessie Smith and Beyonce as socio-historical texts that allow us access to an alternative source of knowledge supplementing the more theoretical. Students will be expected to build on their appreciation of black music to develop tools with which to critically engage with the expression, and with which to attend to the social, historical, performative and artistic complexes at play. This course fulfills critical race feminisms for UMass WGSS majors and minors. Offensive language and images You will be required to view, listen, think and talk about language, images and sounds that you might find offensive. This may include words and imagery that is sexist, homo- or transphobic, racist or obscene. It should go without saying that, I do not share or condone these words and actions. I do, however, believe that our engagement with these expressions is essential to an elucidation of the themes that underpin the course. It is important for each student to understand that by signing up to this course, you are agreeing to view and to listen to all material pertaining to it, regardless of its potentially offensive nature.

  • Thinking Intersectionally About Women, Race, and Social Control Kimberlé W
    From Private Violence to Mass Incarceration: Thinking Intersectionally About Women, Race, and Social Control Kimberlé W. Crenshaw ABSTRACT UCLA LAW REVIEW UCLA LAW The structural and political dimensions of gender violence and mass incarceration are linked in multiple ways. The myriad causes and consequences of mass incarceration discussed herein call for increased attention to the interface between the dynamics that constitute race, gender, and class power, as well as to the way these dynamics converge and rearticulate themselves within institutional settings to manufacture social punishment and human suffering. Beyond addressing the convergences between private and public power that constitute the intersectional dimensions of social control, this Article addresses political failures within the antiracism and antiviolence movements that may contribute to the legitimacy of the contemporary punishment culture, both ideologically and materially. AUTHOR Kimberlé W. Crenshaw is Professor of Law at UCLA and Columbia Law Schools. I have benefited tremendously from the comments, suggestions, and helpful insights of Luke Charles Harris, Devon Carbado, George Lipsitz, Barbara Tomlinson, Gary Peller, Joseph Doherty, Stephanie Bush-Baskette, Monique Morris, and the participants of the African American Policy Forum’s Social Justice Writers Workshop. Allen Secretov, Scott Dewey, Ezra Corral, and Stephanie Plotin provided excellent research assistance. I would also like to express my gratitude to the UCLA Law Review for sponsoring this symposium, to the participants who shared their work and insights, and to my colleagues in the Critical Race Studies Program who contributed to the symposium’s success. Lastly, I would like to thank my faculty co-leads on this symposium, Jyoti Nanda and Priscilla Ocen, who worked tirelessly to see this important symposium come to fruition.

  • Midnight Special Songlist
    west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

  • ENG1121 Word Count: 1227 ​How Has R&B Music Transformed
    Akinfeleye 1 Temi Akinfeleye ENG1121 4/5/2020 Professor Penner Word Count: 1227 How has R&B music transformed throughout time. ​ Has R&B music changed over time? What happened to old school R&B? What is R&B music? R & B stands for “Rhythm and Blues” it was created in the U.S by black musicians. R&B music is also mixed with hip-hop,jazz and soul. Nowadays R&B music is the most played out music. Different discourse communities and societies play R&B music almost every single day. Although R&B music is played out, more artists keep on creating the same genre with R&B music. More consumers and audiences want more old school R&B music instead of new school. New upcoming artists are changing the definition of R & B music. They are changing the genre of R&B. For instance, artists think that R&B music is a fast beat or rap music. What they don't know is that R&B should be at a slow pace and should be a heartfelt song. Most R&B music is about love,relationships, and sometimes about life. Present artists today stick with the old school R&B music such as PARTYNEXTDOOR, Jhene aiko, Chris Brown, Usher, John Legend, Rihanna and Summer Walker.The most inspired old school R&B artists are TLC, Destiny's Akinfeleye 2 child, Ne-yo and most importantly Aaliyah. Aaliyah is called the princess of R&B, because all her songs were real R&B music. Although there are artists that have created their own type of R&B music, there isn't a specific author that created the genre “R&B”.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.
