No full textThis set of Broadway playbills from 1998-2021 was on display in the L.L. Gobbel Library during November 2024 as the second entry in the library\u27s Collections Display Series. This series, managed by Campus Librarian Kelly Maust, features unique, original collections by University of Memphis Lambuth students, faculty, and staff. The project provides an opportunity to share our interests with each other and explore as a campus what a library collection could mean.
Playbills were lent to the library by faculty member Ashley Kate Adams.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/broadway-playbills-nov-2024/1034/thumbnail.jp

Restriction and Resistance: The Power Dynamics of Black Freedom in Haywood County, Tennessee (1940-1965) as Examined through Oral Narratives and Media
Get PDFThis is a case study examining the impact three historical events had on six current and former Black residents from Haywood County, Tennessee. The rhetorical examination, which includes oral narratives, media texts, and historical accounts, focuses on how these individuals maneuvered through the social and political restrictions set in place during a period of racial segregation from 1940 to 1965. The qualitative study includes reflections of lived experiences in the rural South and resistance to the laws that restricted Black freedom. Study participants provide insight into three events that have been largely suppressed and bring forth counternarratives that frame how Black residents reclaimed their voice amid attempts to silence them. The events include the lynching of Elbert Williams, a federal lawsuit by local Black activists to register to vote, and the desegregation of public schools in Haywood County. The repercussions from each of these events present opportunities to explore the power dynamics of restriction and resistance in a predominantly Black county during the Jim Crow era and the Civil Rights Movement. Reflexive observations by the researcher add to the contextualization of hegemonic principles and Black agency that coexisted in the region where she grew up. Additionally, this study highlights the process of how rhetoric can serve as a guiding force in research and sometimes shift the direction of inquiry
Pathways Between Early Socioeconomic Deprivation and Alcohol-Related Problems in Emerging Adulthood: Examination of Environmental and Psychosocial Determinants
Get PDFThe alcohol harm paradox (AHP) has been proposed to account for findings that socioeconomically deprived individuals experience disproportionate rates of alcohol-related harm, despite consuming similar or lower amounts of alcohol relative to more advantaged groups. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible are not well understood. Hogarth proposed the existence of three etiological pathways underpinning the AHP. Emerging adults (EAs) ages 21.5 to 25 (N = 466; Mage = 22.6, 57.5% female, 49.4% White, 38.6% Black, 31.1% non-college EAs), who reported consuming 3/4+ alcoholic drinks (for women/men) at least twice in the past month provided information on childhood family poverty, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), internalizing symptoms, drinking motives, environmental reward, alcohol demand, alcohol-involved and alcohol-free reinforcement, and alcohol problems at baseline, 8, 16, and 24 months. Neighborhood disadvantage data from the American Community Survey and density of on-premise alcohol outlets were linked according to participants’ census tract at baseline. Structural equation modeling was used to validate the proposed conceptual model by simultaneously assessing the three etiological pathways. Results indicated that childhood family poverty was indirectly associated with increases in alcohol-related problems in emerging adulthood via: (1) greater exposure to ACEs, greater levels of internalizing symptoms, increases in drinking to cope motives, and increases in alcohol demand (stress-distress-coping pathway), and via (2) greater neighborhood disadvantage in emerging adulthood, chronic environmental reward deprivation, and increases in relative-reinforcement value (RRV) of alcohol-involved activities (alternative reward pathway). However, results did not support an indirect effect via neighborhood disadvantage, on-premise alcohol outlet density, and increases in alcohol demand (cue exposure/availability pathway) in the current sample. Results highlight the need to address distal, community, neighborhood, and broader policy-level factors that indirectly effect proximal, individual-level determinants that give rise to the AHP
Effort-Reward Imbalance Among Student Athletes: Relationships with Exploitation, Well-being, Performance Satisfaction, and Burnout
Get PDFCollege athletics has changed dramatically since the first conception of “sports clubs” centuries ago. The effort required by student-athletes and the rewards they receive for participation have increased in tandem with the money involved in college athletics. Recent changes that allow student-athletes to be paid for use of their name, image, and likeness have further complicated relationships among effort, reward, and outcomes. In the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model, effort without adequate reward produces stress and poor health-related outcomes, and research has supported this contention with regard to outcomes such as lower well-being and poorer performance among workers. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between ERI and outcomes among student athletes. Using a sample of 187 NCAA student-athletes recruited from throughout the United States, this study used a cross-sectional design to investigate whether stress and burnout serially mediate the relationship between ERI and both well-being and athletic performance satisfaction. The relationship between ERI and perceived exploitation, as well as the differences in perceptions of exploitation among groups of student-athletes with and without name. image, and likeness (NIL) contracts, were explored. Consistent with hypotheses, relationships between ERI and well-being, and ERI and athletic performance satisfaction, were both serially mediated by stress and burnout. Additionally, ERI was positively related to perceived exploitation. Contrary to the hypothesis, there was no difference in perceived exploitation across groups of student-athletes with and without NIL contracts. Implications and limitations of these results are discussed
