“In Black and White, I’m A Piece of Trash:”  Abuse, Depression, and Women's Pathways to Prison
Creators: name: Adamo Valverde, Alexa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Women’s lived experiences of abuse and depression are examined within the context of gendered and racialized pathways to incarceration among 403 women randomly selected from a diagnostic unit in a state prison. This study utilizes feminist action research and community psychological methods to understand what factors predict incarcerated women’s placement on the mental health caseload and provides quantitative support for the pathways theoretical framework. Findings indicate that, among the sample, the prevalence of abuse experiences prior to incarceration exceeded 90%, prevalence of mental health problems exceeded 70%, and less than 35% were receiving mental health care. Being Caucasian, experiencing depression and suicidal ideation, and serving time for certain types of (non-violent, non-property, and non-drug related) crime (e.g., cruelty to children, prostitution, public order, “technicals,” and others) predicted the placement of women on the mental health caseload. Implications for trauma-informed, anti-racist, gender-responsive policies and interventions are discussed.
CONNECT

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The final production of CONNECT was performed at Heart of the City festival on Sunday November 3rd, 2013 at 3pm. CONNECT took the form of a procession starting outside the Carnegie Centre entrance and walking west down Hastings Street for an appearance at Pigeon Park (Hastings & Columbia St.) and a performance at the World Art Centre, Goldcorp Centre for the Arts (SFU Woodwards 149 W. Hastings St. 2nd floor). Those who did not wish to join the procession were asked to meet at the World Art Centre at 3:20pm.
Queering the Nation?: Analyzing the Politics of the LGBT Movement in Ukraine After the Maidan Protests
Creators: name: Pagulich, Lesia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: The militarization as a result of the war in Eastern Ukraine intensifies nationalism as a struggle against Russian imperialism and strengthens aspirations towards the European Union as a way of Ukrainian “modernization” against the “backwardness” of the Soviet Union. The nationalist manifestations and statements construct the Other as barbaric and position Ukraine as progressive, civilized, democratic, and modern. The rhetoric of division of “us” vs. “them,” a newly constructed and demonized “common enemy,” may provide LGBT subjects with alleged legitimacy if they articulate belonging to the national identity. This thesis explores the links between homonationalism, gay liberal rights discourses, and the production of narratives of progress and modernity against racialized Others, examining tendencies that normalize LGBT subjects along discourses of “good citizen” and “patriot,” leaving behind other non-normative subjects.
Picturing Queer Death: Alternative Instantiations of Temporality within Process Art
Creators: name: Kim, Jainey
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: During the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, the U.S.’ hegemonic heteronormative society saw AIDS as an epidemic threat to the future rather than as a threat to the present, which helped mark queer bodies affected by the virus as being erasable and replaceable. In response to this rise in fear and rage as the only potential affective productions of AIDS-related deaths, much of the queer art produced during this time sought to capture the permanence as well as ephemerality of queer desire and mourning. This project seeks to locate these alternative instantiations of temporality within queer art’s vivification of death during this time period in order to disrupt the narrative of chrononormativity—as passage of time being only linear and one-directional—that is employed by neoliberal biopolitics to police and exclude subaltern bodies. To do so, this thesis applies a critical visual analysis to two photography pieces and two process art pieces that depict forms of loss or death by way of a reparative reading that is affectively driven and motivated by desire, pleasure, and curiosity.
Misogynists Have Feelings, Too: An Analysis of Circulating Affect in The Red Pill
Creators: name: Pinson Wrisley, Samantha
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis is a critical discourse analysis that seeks to identify and understand the various affects circulating within the anti-feminist, reactionary group, The Red Pill. The central argument is that, despite The Red Pill’s desire to cultivate an emotionless “essential masculine,” affect is made visible in these environments when it moves or circulates in the form of emotionally charged discourse.
Ratcheting a Way Out of the Respectable: Genealogical Interventions Into Atlanta's Respectability Politics
Creators: name: Abdelaziz, Sarah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: What do Black Lives Matter and Freaknik have in common? In this paper, I will argue that moments of Black Lives Matter in Atlanta exhibited refusals and undoings of respectability politics through the method of the ratchet. I define the ratchet as moments of non-normative embodiment and political possibility that refuse statist and Eurocentric norms through slippage of the self and the engagement of Black queer sexual politics. Freaknik is foregrounded as a ripe space for excavating such a display of the politically ratchet in Atlanta. I will look at a few different moments in the Black Lives Matter movement in the city of Atlanta and read each for currents of ratchetness and respectability, highlighting the importance of the ratchet in political imagination and possibility.
Talking About Clone Club: A Textual Analysis of Orphan Black
Creators: name: McGuire, Lisa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Orphan Black is a television series rich with complex female clone characters and themes of surveillance and monster/monstrous feminine. I explore these two main themes through an analysis of the on-screen action in several characters’ story arcs. I am examining Orphan Black while revisiting Donna Haraway’s “A Cyborg Manifesto” and considering the genres of horror and science fiction. I argue that the representation of the clones destabilizes woman as Other in terms of female monstrosity, expands the cyborg metaphor, and contributes to the feminist analysis of science fiction.
Our Sacrifice Shall Not Be Required: Examining Maternal Ambivalence and Refusal in Black Motherhood
Creators: name: Merritt, Candice
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis articulates motherhood as both a liberal and black humanist formation that conditions black women to mother and attempts to untether maternity from the black female body. By centering maternal ambivalence—the desire and distaste for motherhood—in selected works by black women, this thesis argues that black motherhood is an ambivalent site for some black women. Motherhood can be a site of joy and displeasure; sacrifice and refusal; life and death.

Ectatoderus undefined-2

description: Ectatoderus sp. 2
Figs 157, 158
Diagnostic notes.
A yet unidentified species of Ectatoderus emits a calling song, as depicted in Fig. 157. That specimen has been collected, but was unavailable for analysis at the time of preparation of this paper. At the same collecting event on the same site, a second specimen was collected, depicted in Fig. 154 C. We assume both belong to the same species. A probable third specimen of this species is depicted in Fig. 158.
For characteristics, see Ectatoderus guichardi and Figs 154 C, 158.
Distribution and occurrence.
E. sp. 2 is known from Adho Dimello in the Hagher, where fair numbers were heard singing at night in 2010. Its song has also been recorded at Neet in 2010.
Bioacoustics.
Ectatoderus sp. 2 emits its calling song at night. It consists of two syllables with an interval of about 100–140 ms. This set of two syllables is repeated in a short series every 1–1.5s. The syllable duration is about 30–60 ms. The carrier frequency of the song is between 3.9 and 4.2 kHz, with some harmonics at higher frequencies (Fig. 157; XC 877954, accessible at https://www.xeno-canto.org/877954).

Figs 159, 161
Diagnostic notes.
A third species of Ectatoderus is only photographed and sound recorded. See Ectatoderus guichardi and Figs 159, 160 for diagnostic characteristics.
Distribution and occurrence.
Ectatoderus sp. 3 is known from two photographic records by James Bailey in 2024, one at Firmihin and one on Noged Plain (Figs 159, 160), both in two very different habitats. These records suggest a rather wide distribution on the island (see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/203184039 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199187230. E. sp. 3 probably also occurs at Neet.
Bioacoustics.
The calling song of Ectatoderus sp. 3, emitted at night, resembles the song of E. sp. 2. in structure (Fig. 157), but is higher (Fig. 161). The carrier frequency of this taxon seems to vary between 5.0–5.9 kHz. The specimen depicted in Fig. 161 has a carrier frequency of around 5.0 kHz. In the recording made at Neet, where the same type of song was recorded in 2010 (RecRF 10119, 125–127), the frequency is around 5.9 kHz.
Recordings at Neet also show a taxon with a frequency of 3.9 kHz, possibly belonging to Ectatoderus sp. 2 (RecRF 10129–141). Further analysis of the bioacoustics of both species can only be satisfactorily conducted if the specimens from which the recordings were made are available for study.

Women's Narratives of Their Experiences with the Diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Creators: name: Lambert, Jennie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Seventy-five percent of people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder are women; however, these women have only infrequently represented how they experience BPD. I interviewed three women with BPD and their narratives were transformed into vignettes using techniques from ethnographic fiction and affect theory. Salient themes from the vignettes were embodiment, trauma, and internal turmoil. This thesis represents how my participants experience BPD and demonstrates that their trauma needs more attention.
Bringing Sex To Theory: Sensational Affinity, Pleasure, and Sexual Pedagogy
Creators: name: Nattiel, Andreanna
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This project is about theorizing black queer women’s sexualities and experiences with sexual pleasure outside the lens of traditional identitarian frameworks. Drawing on queer pornography and pleasure-based sex education, I analyze how these various forms of sex education conceptualize and deploy sexual pedagogy. Further, my project maps the ways in which black queer women’s sexual pleasure can be read through the lens of sensational affinity, which can serve as a form of queer world making.
The Enduring Kind: Conceptions Of Freedom For An Unstable Present
Creators: name: Nelson, Katherine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis engages the concept of freedom in contemporary radical philosophy, focusing on philosophers Judith Butler, Elizabeth Grosz, and Brian Massumi. I argue that the dominant contemporary portrait of freedom is historically anachronistic insofar as the free act is conflated with irruptive, disruptive variations in the social fabric. I draw on the work of Henri Bergson to argue that our historical present requires that we resituate freedom in the ground of singular, personal experience, against the dominant tendency to approach freedom from a lens that prioritizes social change. Key to this theoretical shift is the re-temporalization of free acts as processes that extend through time and that emerge from the consistency of an enduring self.
Refusals and Re-Creations: Imagining Utopia through Black Lesbian Affect in Modern Dance
Creators: name: Robinson, Shayla
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This project explores how Black lesbian affectivity performed through dance, which includes gestures, comportment, expressions, etc., can provide a utopian framework of political and social organizing against white supremacist heteronormative hegemony. These affective performances create spaces of resistance within modern dance choreographies. These affective moments and performances demonstrate alternative forms of individual and collective existence in both the dance space and daily life. By examining the works of modern dancer Nora Chipaumire and the social justice dance theater ensemble, the Urban Bush Women, this project argues that Chipaumire and Urban Bush women use disidentification, affective performances, queer utopia and shapeshifting, in order to create different social and political realities. Finally, I argue that moments within these performances open themselves to a reading for “Black lesbian affective” performances that reject normative standards of identity.
“You Are Not a Woman”: Disposable Mothers And The Clandestine Baby Factories In Nigeria
Creators: name: Agunloye, Irene
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: My thesis ““You are not a Woman”: Disposable Mothers and The Clandestine Baby Factory in Nigeria”, seeks to address the exclusion and marginalization of infertile (barren) women, their experiences and voices from the ‘cult of motherhood’. The thesis is also a rallying cry for education, sensitization and action against the clandestine baby factories in Nigeria. Consequently, a screenplay is used to narrate an authentic account of this on-going assault on young unsuspecting women, bringing to light the driving force behind baby factories. In future, this screenplay will be filmed and used for advocacy to conscientize the general public (communities, government agencies, media practioners, churches, traditional rulers, and students.) on the negative implications of forced motherhood both on the women and their babies. The intention is to bring about the desired change in the demand-chain of this business.
Buried Histories: A De-Colonial, Feminist View of Land, Space, and U.S. Universities
Creators: name: Brannan, Laura
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Recently, the University of Georgia unearthed one-hundred remains beneath an academic building that were once previously enslaved. I argue that viewing this discovery and the subsequent community reactions and memorializations through a feminist, de-colonial perspective opposes Manifest Destiny narratives that the U.S. and its’ universities formed benignly. Additionally, I unite histories of slavery, settler colonialism, and whiteness at UGA’s site to demonstrate how different marginalized groups overlapped in certain spaces and to question how we view not only land but also how we (mis)remember the history of disenfranchised groups in relation to one another and their spatial interactions.
Hybrid – Can That Be My Nickname?: Intersectionality, Afro-Nihilism, And The Otherly Existence Of Queer Black Women
Creators: name: Jones, Bryana
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: For Black women, recognizing, accessing, and exercising their ability to disrupt hegemonic categories of normativity is an important project. A combination of misogyny/sexism and racism relegates all Black women in America to an intersecting space of multiple marginalizations, and Black masculine lesbians ultimately occupy a space in the intersection of no less than four different oppressions: race, gender, sexuality, and gender nonconformity. This project examines, through narrative inquiry – primarily the poetic of storytelling – the ways that Black masculine lesbians, due to their particular positionality, experience an alternative, Otherly ontological existence. It also investigates the ways in which Black masculine women navigate, and ultimately transgress and subvert white heteropatriarchal standards of masculinity while concurrently creating an alternative space of performance within which they navigate/resist violence and access personal power.
The Fat Agenda: An Analysis of Fatphobia, Race, Gender, Sexuality and Black Womanhood
Creators: name: Lawrence, Kara
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: As a result of colonialism and hegemonic patriarchy, experiencing life with intersecting oppressions is extremely taxing. The added difficulty of being overweight can contribute additional stress in an appearance driven society. Yourdictionary.com reductively defines fatphobia as “the fear and dislike of obese people and or/ obesity” (yourdictionary.com). The term is not acknowledged in more credible dictionaries such as Merriam-Webster or Oxford. Through personal narrative I will reveal the ways in which fatphobia, along with the interlocking oppressions of racism and sexism, can negatively impact the expression of Black women’s sexuality and humanity.
The Bisexual To Be Corrected: Interrogating The Threat And Recuperation Of Women's Femme Bisexuality
Creators: name: McShane, Hannah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: In this project I seek to explore the ways in which women’s performance of femme bisexuality constitutes a threat to existing regimes of gender and sexuality in the West. In my analysis, I will consider how femme, femininity, womanhood, and bisexuality are constructed and policed, and further, how these forms of policing layer onto women’s femme bisexuality because of the identity’s potential to weaken existing hegemonic frameworks of power and control. In these considerations I will explore the history of femme as a descriptive/identity label, dominant perceptions of femininity both outside and within feminist circles, the history of bisexuality, the controversies of identity politics and visibility politics, and the contradictions and connections between queer theory and bisexual theory.
Towards Negotiating the Ethics of Comedy through Affective Pedagogies of Feminist Humor
Creators: name: Yuce, Muge
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: By calling for negotiating the ethics in the stand-up comedy, this thesis, first, focuses on the discussions around the issue of (in)appropriate comedic language in the stand-up shows that came out after 2017, that are Nanette by Hannah Gadsby, Sticks&Stone by Dave Chapelle, Right Now by Aziz Ansari, and Rape Jokes by Cameron Esposito. In doing so, it provides an analysis of how stand-up stages, in the face of Trump era and #metoo movement, have become a space of metacomedy, by enabling us to rethink about the form and ethics of comedy. Through its reflection on Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette, the thesis attempts to contribute to a reconceptualization of our understandings of feminist humor and its theories as well as to rethinking about humor’s possibilities and shortcomings in terms of its capacity to bring about teaching/unlearning moments. Finally, the thesis calls for an ethical negotiation towards otherness in comedy by proposing an affective pedagogy of feminist humor.
"Mamas Gotta Have A Life Too": Counternarrative Work on the Sex Negative Black Mother Figure
Creators: name: Byrd, Nia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: Black girlhood is a beautiful experience despite the adversity many Black women face. In following the belief of the founder of Black girlhood studies Ruth Nicole Brown, "Black girlhood is a continuous life journey." While women throughout history have always struggled with respectability and sexual politics. Black women have had an even harder time being a woman, a sexual being, and a mother all in the sphere. We have experienced unique oppression due to both our race and gender that makes it vital that we tell our stories. Therefore, my thesis focuses on telling the narrative of Black mothers who practice an affirming sex-positive pedagogy and its influence on Black girlhood.
Ancestral Wisdom and Spiritual Practices for Healing: Decolonizing Feminist Theory and Pedagogy
Creators: name: Trim, Justina
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: African-indigenous spiritual practices, ancestral wisdom, and knowledge that pre-dates the institution of colleges and universities can be seen in multiple perspectives. For instance, this knowledge has been revered, or rejected. In this thesis, I advocate for the importance of understanding these spiritual practices and knowledges and regarding them as a form of healing, pedagogy, and rebellion. Finally, I discuss my curation of exhibits and altars that allow people to access the healing and restorative power of ancestral wisdom.
Remembering and Feeling the Nation: Circulations of Emotions of the Imagined Community in the Contemporary Venezuelan Diaspora
Creators: name: Martinez Parra, Neidegar
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: In the last five years Venezuela registered its first massive migration due to economic and sociopolitical circumstances. In this context, I explore visual discourses in which diasporic subjects imagine a modern nation through circulations of emotions and memories on Instagram. The Chromatic Environment, a piece by Carlos Cruz-Díez located at the Simón Bolívar International Airport, along with natural landscapes and circulations of commodities, become the evocative referents for Venezuelan diasporic subjects to claim their sense of belonging. A visual analysis of images reveals how Venezuelan migrants circulate their longing for recuperating and restoring icons, symbols, and consumption practices as they connect with their personal experiences and craft an ideal past and future. Emotions concerning time and space play a significant role in how diasporic subjects represent their relations to the nation at the moment of departure and when they settle in a new country.
Praxis of Lust: Alternative Sexual Culture in Personal Narratives of Queer Disabled Sex
Creators: name: Jackson, Caroline
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis focuses on emotions to analyze personal narratives of queer disabled sex to understand how queer disabled people talk about sex with the goal of identifying their constructions of their sexualities and sexual practices. By analyzing how the role of discourses on disability affect how these narrators and their partners feel about disabled sex, this thesis explores how sex can be used to combat negative emotions fueled by dominant ableist discourses that cause shame and self-disgust. This thesis explores how some of these narrators employ what I call a cross-crip praxis of lust, where they describe experiencing a radical liberation from shame about their disabled bodies and increased sexual pleasure as they create alternative sexual cultures. These narrators offer insights into how the possibilities for sex and pleasure can be expanded for us all through their stories of a DIY sexuality, where creativity and agency constitute fulfilling sexual experiences.

description: Modelling ablation of glacier ice under a layer of mineral debris is increasingly important, because the extent of supraglacial debris is expanding worldwide due to glacier recession. Physically based models have been developed, but the uncertainty in predictions is not yet well constrained. A new one-dimensional model of debris-covered ice ablation that is based on the Simultaneous Heat and Water transfer model is introduced here. SHAW-Glacier is a physically based, vertically integrated, fully coupled, water and energy balance model, which includes the advection of heat by rainwater and lateral flow. SHAW-Glacier was applied to North Changri Nup, a high elevation alpine glacier in the monsoon-dominated Central Himalaya. Simulations were compared with observed debris temperature profiles, snow depth, and ablation stake measurements for debris 0.03–0.41 m thick, in a 2500 m2 study area. Prediction uncertainty was estimated in a Monte Carlo analysis. SHAW-Glacier simulated the characteristic pattern of decreasing ablation with increasing debris thickness. However, the observations of ablation did not follow the characteristic pattern; annual ablation was highest where the debris was thickest. Recursive partitioning revealed a substantial, non-linear sensitivity to the snow threshold air temperature, suggesting a sensitivity to the duration of snow cover. Photographs showed patches of snow persisting through the ablation season, and the observational data were consistent with uneven persistence of snow patches. The analyses indicate that patchy snow cover in the ablation season can overwhelm the sensitivity of sub-debris ablation to debris thickness. Patchy snow cover may be an unquantified source of uncertainty in predictions of sub-debris ablation.

Mogoplistes brunneus

description: Mogoplistes aff. M. brunneus Serville, 1838
Fig. 160
Diagnostic notes.
Mogoplistes is distinguished from Ectatoderus by the following characteristics: males are apterous with a more or less square pronotum (not elongated), the clypeus lacks a median furrow, the scape is very narrow and the broad inter-antennal space broad (hence with a very high inter-antennal space / scape width ratio).
On Socotra, a yet unidentified member of the Mogoplistini tribe occurs (Fig. 161), probably belonging to Mogoplistes and related to M. brunneus Serville, 1838. Since M. brunneus is a species confined to the Mediterranean, the taxon on Socotra probably belongs to another species. For now, only nymphs have been recorded. In 2009 and 2010, several specimens were collected; in 2024, a late instar nymph was photographed (Fig. 161). For proper identification and description, more material must be collected.
Distribution and occurrence.
Mogoplistes aff. M. brunneus is known from several records on the island, suggesting a rather wide distribution. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/203184073.

description: Hybrid clonal technology can radically change the way in which Eucalyptus plants are selected and grown. It offers a means of producing planting materials with highly desirable growth characteristics. Propagation by cuttings is the main tool in Eucalyptus breeding programs by which it is possible to multiply the Eucalyptus trees quickly as well as retaining the parental plant characteristics. This doesn’t occur under natural conditions, it is therefore affected by different factors such as rooting media, nature and management of cuttings, which should be manipulated appropriately to get increased nursery output.This study was conducted at NTSC, to determine the best time duration within which cutting insertion should be done. Three eucalyptus hybrids were considered i.e. GC796, GC796/2 and GU7. 150 cuttings were used for each clonal type, with 50 cuttings for each of a 60-minute difference time treatment. 50-cutting batches for each of the three clones were inserted at 60, 120, and 180 minutes respectively after harvesting.
The Art of Becoming
Creators: name: Jackson, Charity
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: This study aims to bring attention to the ways in which Black womanhood is curated in the digital landscape by both Black women and non-Black women. Representations of Black women, often coded as negative, circulate mainstream media today, but when the same representations are taken up by non-Black woman bodies, they are regarded differently as unique, profitable, and desirable. In this context, Black womanhood is described as a specific performance assembled through cultural references popularized by Black women. To explore this topic, I analyze two Instagram accounts through visual analysis. The results show how my own curation of my image on Instagram account as a Black woman and Emma Hallberg’s, a white Swedish woman accused of “Blackfishing,” curation of her Instagram account are shaped by the performance of Black womanhood in digital space.
Personalizing the Political in the Wake of the Isla Vista Murders
Creators: name: Montoya, Jasmine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis identifies a political tactic I call “personalizing the political.” Personalizing the political inverts the responsibility of social ills from social institutions, the economy, and governance into personal problems created by individuals. Personalizing the political inverts the Marxist feminist understanding of “the personal is political.” Ultimately, neoliberal feminism has prompted personalizing the political and weakening feminist praxis. I identify personalizing the political in the response to the “incel killer,” Elliot Rodger, who committed a spree-killing in Isla Vista, California in 2014, which frames him as a “lone-wolf terrorist,” or mentally ill, rather than a fascist political actor. I take on analytic philosopher Kate Manne’s response to Rodger, who also finds him a political actor. However, Manne too personalizes the political through her lack of feminist praxis. I argue for a robust socialist feminist praxis in the face of 21st century fascism.
To Be Queer, Black, & Womxn: Self-Definition of Queer Black Girlhood & Womxnhood In Film & TV
Creators: name: Williams, Brittany
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: This research explores the invisibility and marginalization of Queer Black women and girls in films and television and how these inaccurate depictions and stereotypes in media contribute to the real-world disenfranchisement and abuse of Queer Black women and girls in the United States. I highlight movies and tv episodes with Queer Black female characters and analyze how their character arcs and how their character is utilized to aid the plot within the film or series. I cite literature that examines homophobia, racism, and sexism, socially and institutionally in the US and highlight the research represented within these selected studies and concluded with my own screenplay. My argument is that having more Queer Black women in leadership roles behind the scenes of these productions will aid in more nuanced and equitable representation of Queer Black women on-screen and potentially humanize the way Queer Black girls and women are treated in society.
Demonic Grounds, Tempestuous Voices: Breaking Meaning through Sound Performance

description: This thesis posits a primary role for the body in the deconstruction of ideological and cultural meaning such as religious and nationalist doctrines. Through the analysis of the work of vocal artists and performers I examine the ways in which contexts of meaning are altered. By centering their sound practices, as well as my own, I articulate possibilities for what I call “un-meaning” that nonetheless preserve cultural ties and practices of belonging that create “broken continuities.”
Antiglobalization Pedagogies: Iranian Women’s Memoir And Feminist Solidarity In The Classroom
Creators: name: Wakeman, Emma
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis focuses on Iranian women’s memoirs to analyze the use of transnational women’s autobiographies in the feminist classroom. It will explore the uses of memoir and autobiography to teach women’s experiences outside of the United States in the feminist classroom, why these narratives are so attractive and how they can also slip into ideologies that perpetuate Eastern/Western dichotomies and hierarchies. It will use a transnational feminist lens to analyze popular Iranian memoirs Persepolis and Reading Lolita in Tehran to evaluate how and why these texts are used in feminist academic spaces to teach American students about Iranian women. Additionally, this thesis will use Iran as a case study to interrogate and question how feminist academia can perpetuate ideologies of Western exceptionalism.
Stories of Exile: The Construction of Trans Athletes as a Political Category
Creators: name: Keesler, Jordan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: “Stories of Exile: The Construction of Trans Athletes as a Political Category,” asks: What is the relationship between gendered sports policy since 1936 and anti-trans sports laws in 2021? Utilizing a transfeminist sports studies’ methodology, I explore three significant points in Olympic sports where the discourse of the gender binary shifts: the introduction of sex verification in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the 1972 passage of Title IX, which shaped the classification of “female athletes,” and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics which featured the first out transgender and non-binary athletes. Aiming to bring attention to the connection between sports and the construction and continued (de)stabilization of the hierarchical gender binary, this project looks for explicit attempts to regulate gender non-normativity in sports in order to identify specific characteristics about how trans athletes are discussed to formulate a historically grounded conception of today’s attacks on trans athletes.
Representation Strategies of Arab LGBQ Individuals in the Years after the Events of the So-called "Arab Spring" in Mainstream Egyptian TV Talk Shows
Creators: name: Bregheith, Deena
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: This research aims to deconstruct mainstream Egyptian TV talk show representations of Arab LGBQ people through identifying and dissecting the strategies they deploy to manufacture anti-queer representations. The representation strategies I study are: the construction of the ideal viewer, advancing an “us” vs. “them” paradigm, reproducing queer people as the “Other,” fetishization, and the mobilization of false impartiality. The second aspect I explore is how power relations limit moments of resistance within the defined space of the interviews I analyze. Lastly, I interrogate how the growing social struggle in discourse has affected more recent mainstream representations, particularly in the years of 2017 and 2018. In my analysis, I refer to Norman Fairclough’s analysis of the use of language as inseparable from social structures, Teun van Dijk’s research concerning the common discursive means that media utilizes, and Stuart Hall’s investigation of the work of representation and the process of producing meaning.

“SALOME gave my dignity back” : The role of randomized heroin trials in transforming lives in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, Canada
Creators: name: Jozaghi, Ehsan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Although numerous studies on heroin-assisted treatment (HAT) have been published in leading international journals, little attention has been given to HAT’s clients, their stories, and what constitutes the most influential factor in the treatment process. The present study investigates the role of HAT in transforming the lives of injection drug users (IDUs) in Vancouver, Canada. This study is qualitative focusing on 16 in-depth interviews with patients from the randomized trials of HAT. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically using NVivo 10 software. The findings revealed a positive change in many respects: the randomized trials reduce criminal activity, sex work, and illicit drug use. In addition, the trials improved the health and social functioning of its clients, with some participants acquiring work or volunteer positions. Many of the participants have been able to reconnect with their family members, which was not possible before the program. Furthermore, the relationship between the staff and patients at the project appears to have transformed the behavior of participants. Attending HAT in Vancouver has been particularly effective in creating a unique microenvironment where IDUs who have attended HAT have been able to form a collective identity advocating for their rights. The result of this research points to the need for continuation of the project beyond the current study, leading toward a permanent program.

This special issue is devoted to a cross-disciplinary investigation of a specific literary phenomenon, fictional dialogue. Fictional dialogue is used to refer to passages of character-character conversation within a literary text. More specifically, the articles of the issue deal with fictional dialogue as a narrative mode in prose fiction. The issue aims to engender an appreciation and a better understanding of the workings of dialogue by drawing on the insights and methods from both literary studies and linguistics. These methods include a rhetorical-ethical approach to narrative, cognitive and “natural” narratology, the study of everyday conversational storytelling, and Conversation Analysis (CA). Combining these methods helps us to understand that while dialogue is a central means to depict character-character relationships it also serves other levels of communication in a narrative and thus contributes to the reader's comprehension of the narrative design's rhetorical and ethical dimensions. The articles also suggest that while understanding dialogue depends partly on the reader’s experiences of real-life conversation, the interpretation of dialogue is determined by the overall design of a literary text and the historically changing conventions.
