Female Victimization in the 1970s and 1980s Slasher Film
Get PDFTo examine this portrayal of women in 1970s and 1980s slashers, I will first provide background on the genre using the influential films The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and Halloween (1978), and from there I will define the genre in accordance with its characteristics and formulaic conventions. Clover’s groundbreaking work (1987; 1992), offers a feminist perspective on slasher films and will provide substantial evidence throughout my paper. Then, I will compare and contrast multiple content analyses from the 1980s to the 2000s that use empirical studies to evaluate the degree to which women are victimized in slashers by the duration of scenes and the juxtaposition of sex. Lastly, this research brings forth the audience perspective and the male gaze, which will also be evaluated in the context of slasher

A Full Universal Basic Income for the United States
Get PDFThe objective of this dissertation is to estimate whether a full Universal Basic Income (FUBI), within or without a single-payer Universal Health Care (UHC) system, would be both sufficient to eliminate income poverty and affordable without increasing federal borrowing or decreasing federal discretionary spending in the United States.
In Chapter 1, I elaborate on the components and benefits of a FUBI. In Chapters 2 and 3, I present the results from a static, behavioral, partial-equilibrium, micro-simulation model that analyzes household responses to changes in mandatory spending, sources of tax revenues, and tax expenditures. These changes include introducing a FUBI in Chapters 2 and 3 and a single-payer UHC system in Chapter 3.
The dataset is merger of the IRS Public Use Tax File, the Current Population Survey (CPS), and the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) for 2009. To finance the FUBI in Chapters 2 and 3, I repealed several federal cash income-transfer programs and individual tax expenditures. I also increased the federal individual income tax rates for each of the existing brackets to compensate for the remaining tax revenue deficit. To finance the UHC in Chapter 3, I reintroduce payroll taxes but without a wage base.
The measure of wellbeing for this analysis was the Bureau of Economic Analysis\u27 Disposable Personal Income (DPI). The measures of poverty were the United States Census Bureau\u27s pre-tax Official Poverty Measure (OPM) and post-tax Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). To test the sensitivity of these estimates, I utilized the elasticity of “broad” income (EBI) to simulate household responses to the resulting increases in effective marginal tax rates (EMTRs)

Litigation Bias
Get PDFThere is pervasive litigation bias in law schools. Despite significant interest in transactional law fields among law students, law schools disproportionately teach to the student interested in litigation: litigation-based legal writing assignments outnumber transactional-based ones 19 to 1; litigation-based clinics outnumber transactional ones 9 to 1; and doctrinal classes focus primarily on appellate court cases, often failing to entertain substantive discussion on the creation or content of the documents that led to the dispute. As a result, law school graduates are 44% less prepared for transactional careers than litigation careers./= / \u3e/= / \u3eThis article is the first of its kind to highlight the pervasive litigation bias in today’s law school curricula and examine how such bias in the classroom affects the work of lawyers. In particular, this article examines how litigation bias affects many facets of the legal profession, including how litigation-centric licensing exams and rules of professional conduct do not accurately reflect transactional practice; how certain practices are over-reliant on litigation-oriented lawyering; and how litigation-focused pro bono inclinations leave transactional pro bono needs—including those of historically underrepresented communities, incarcerated individuals, and the growing non-profit sector—unmet. Finally, this article offers concrete steps that law schools can take to address litigation bias within the law school
