The proposed Institute of Human Protection and Comfort Sciences (IHPCS) will be developed to meet this critical strategic need to the benefit of North Carolina and the Nation. NC State's diverse capabilities in the disciplinary areas relevant to human protection and comfort science, engineering and technology are widely distributed across the campus. They are located in multiple colleges, departments, research centers and in specialized laboratories. While the capabilities to address these areas of public health and safety as well as economic development are present at NC State, they have not previously been joined with a collaborative focus in the area of human protection and comfort. IHPCS will provide a formal organization that can set long term strategic objectives for advancing the state of knowledge in this vital area as well as support short term projects to address immediate needs of the emergency responder, military, medical, outdoor and sports apparel communities. The Institute focus will unite scientists and engineers to jointly solve problems using multidisciplinary approach to various difficult problems facing these communities. The Institute will be built on a foundation of proven strength at NCSU: the Center for Research in Textile Protection and Comfort (TPACC). TPACC is the most advanced academic center for research and graduate education in personal protective and performance textiles in the world. Formed in 1994, TPACC is the only academic center in the U.S. that incorporates the capabilities to conduct basic and applied research, testing and evaluation on the comfort and protection of clothing materials, full garments and ensembles. Its research and service projects are widely supported by the industry base in North Carolina and the Nation serving the military, firefighters and functional textiles markets, including textiles for medical and sports applications. Appendix 1 provides details about TPACC's capabilities and accomplishments. TPACC's chartered focus on protective and functional textile and clothing technologies, and on testing methods for evaluating these technologies, no longer provides the multidisciplinary scope needed to solve many of the problems associated with the design, development, testing and evaluation and commercialization of diverse technologies for thermal, chemical, biological, radiological and ballistic protection. Nor is its textiles-oriented center focus broad enough to capitalize on many of the major emerging research opportunities for growth and diversification in the areas of human protection and comfort. This is because these real-world challenges and opportunities are not limited to textile materials and clothing: their solutions also require knowledge of human physiology and psychology, exposure and environmental toxicology, modeling and virtual simulation of responder environments, wearable sensor technologies for monitoring human function and exposure, and many other disciplinary areas, all of which can be found at NC State. IHPCS will be developed to provide the institute-level organizational framework and focus needed to galvanize and support a University-wide multidisciplinary research and education mission that will guarantee future growth and sustainability in these areas of critical importance to NC State's strategic mission. 1 A new brand of educational program is also needed to graduate students with a clearly identifiable and recognized breath of knowledge that can be immediately applied in the areas of human protection and comfort. Our highly visible research related to firefighters protective clothing and equipment (PPE), hazmat protective materials and systems, and the effect of clothing materials on the comfort of clothing for active sports, medical and outdoor applications, is a powerful magnet for graduate and undergraduate students from North Carolina, USA and throughout the world. In spite of strong student interest, our academic capabilities still remain largely an untapped resource, though they have a high potential of making a very significant impact on educational programs offered by NCSU. A barrier in realizing benefits of these new educational opportunities at NC State is lack of a formal university-wide curriculum devoted to educating students in human protection and comfort sciences and in the areas related to these disciplines. The human protection and comfort sciences are clearly multi-disciplinary areas in which NC State University has a combination of existing capabilities, reputation, and future potential that is truly unique. However, significant growth in areas critical to our strategic mission cannot be accomplished without the proposed Institute. By providing a focusing mechanism for research, education and outreach for materials and engineered technologies produced for defense, security, medical, sports and outdoor industries, the Institute will service these dynamic and growing sectors state- and nation-wide. In so doing, it will help to grow jobs and contribute to the economy of North Carolina and the United States. No commitment of financial resources from the University or State of North Carolina is requested to initiate and operate IHPCS. The Institute's financial support and resources will be derived from multiple sources including Federal contracts and grants and income from service testing projects for industrial companies. At the same time, IHPCS will significantly increase the revenue streams that have been available as a result of funds generated by expanded funded research, education and service activities, including consortia membership fees, revenue generating graduate programs and increased service activities. The request for authorization to plan IHPCS has been reviewed by members of the University Research Operational Council (ROC) and by the Provost's Office and has received their support. Their constructive suggestions have been incorporated into this proposal. Goals of the Planning Process We will develop a detailed business model

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

  • How the Atlanta Daily World Covered the Struggle for African American Rights from 1945 to 1985
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: THE CAUTIOUS CRUSADER: HOW THE ATLANTA DAILY WORLD COVERED THE STRUGGLE FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN RIGHTS FROM 1945 TO 1985 Name: Maria E. Odum-Hinmon Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Prof. Maurine Beasley, Ph. D. Philip Merrill College of Journalism This dissertation is a study of the Atlanta Daily World, a conservative black newspaper founded in 1928, that covered the civil rights struggle in ways that reflected its orientation to both democratic principles and practical business concerns. The World became the most successful black daily newspaper in the nation after becoming a daily in 1932 and maintaining that status for nearly four decades. This dissertation details how this newspaper chronicled the simultaneous push for civil rights, better conditions in the black community, and recognition of black achievement during the volatile period of social change following World War II. Using descriptive, thematic analysis and in-depth interviews, this dissertation explores the question: How did the Atlanta Daily World crusade for the rights of African Americans against a backdrop of changing times, particularly during the crucial forty- year period between 1945 and 1985? The study contends that the newspaper carried out its crusade by highlighting information and events important to the black community from the perspective of the newspaper’s strong-willed publisher, C. A. Scott, and it succeeded by relying on Scott family members and employees who worked long hours for low wages. The study shows that the World fought against lynching and pushed for voting rights in the 1940s and 1950s. The newspaper eschewed sit-in demonstrations to force eateries to desegregate in the 1960s because they seemed dangerous and counterproductive when the college students wound up in jail rather than in school.

Even as the logo is altered with time, the yellow backdrop traded for a grey one, the awareness persists. Yet even as people recognize Batman’s logo, one person’s impression of the superhero does not always align with another’s: a cheerful, law-abiding Batman who orders orange juice instead of alcohol at bars is Batman as he appeared in the 1960s, and a brooding hero wreathed in darkness and prone to conflicted inner monologues is the Batman of the 1980s.

  • Aliens and Amazons: Myth, Comics and the Cold War Mentality in Fifth-Century Athens and Postwar America
    ALIENS AND AMAZONS: MYTH, COMICS AND THE COLD WAR MENTALITY IN FIFTH-CENTURY ATHENS AND POSTWAR AMERICA Peter L. Kuebeck A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Leigh Ann Wheeler, Advisor James M. Pfundstein Robert Buffington ii ABSTRACT Leigh Ann Wheeler, Advisor Comic books and classical culture seem to be increasingly linked in recent years, whether through crossovers into one another's media or through portrayals in the mass media itself. Such a connection begs the question of the actual cultural relevance between these two particular cultural products and whether or not two such products can be found to be relevant to one another when separated by time and space - indeed, if two separate cultures experienced similar cultural pressures, would these cultural products represent these pressures in similar ways? Given previous scholarly work linking the Cold War-era in the United States and the Peloponnesian War in fifth-century Greece politically, this thesis argued that a cultural "Cold War mentality" existed both in early postwar America and fifth-century Athens, and that this "Cold War mentality" is exhibited similarly in the comic books and mythology produced in those eras. This mentality is comprised of three stages: increased patriotism, a necessary identification of a cultural other, and attempts by a threatened male society to obtain psychological power through the "domestication" of women. The methods of this thesis included cultural research as well as research into myth and comic books of the respective eras.
