Miss Americana: Taylor Swift as a Battleground for Feminist Discourse
Get PDFThe United States finds itself at a historical moment in which feminism is perhaps more polarizing than ever before. On the one hand, it is no longer taboo to identify as feminist; in fact, men and women alike are embracing feminist perspectives. A recent Pew Research survey found that 61% of American women identified as feminists, with this proportion even higher among Democrats and those who had received higher education (Barroso, 2020). At the same time, women are faced with more opportunities and fewer barriers to achieving success than ever before. Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the 2020 election of Kamala Harris to the vice presidential seat saw women launched into the apical political sphere. Likewise, the worldwide influence of superstar Beyoncé and the media-savvy Kardashian clan showcase the ability of women to reach the pinnacle of visibility.
However, the same Pew poll shows that 45% of Americans think feminism is not inclusive (Barroso, 2020). And a majority (61%) of men belonging to Generation Z do not identify as feminists, signaling an expanding gap between young men and women (Cox, 2023). While feminism may be more “hip” than it once was, it has not altogether lost its controversial nature. Feminists must navigate pushback from the American public as they attempt to disseminate their messages on a large scale
The Source of Luigi Sagrini\u27s Thême de Racio Calupo
Get PDFLuigi Sagrini\u27s opus 4 on a Thême de Racio Calupo was dedicated to Luigi Legnani in 1825. No composer or composition with this title could be located. Since Legnani dedicated two of his editions to Sagrini around 1825 this points to a connection between the two artists. This letter details the discovery of the source of the theme
Moved By Love: A Love Letter to the Western World
No full textThis research examines the new concept of Kama Muta suggesting that human beings possess an inherent predisposition towards relationships, connections, and vulnerability. It explores the profound impacts of intergenerational trauma, patriarchy, misogyny, and various systemic isms on the Western world\u27s societal fabric. By examining historical events such as the Black Plague and its lingering trauma, the research aims to unveil unresolved wounds that have catalyzed global colonization.
Drawing insights from scholars like Michel Foucault, Albert Memmi and Frantz Fanon, as well as integrating wisdoms from indigenous studies, developmental psychology, and theology, the research underscores the pervasive influence of unhealed traumas in spawning constructs like racism, sexism, and various forms of capitalism and relational violence. It examines the Western world\u27s struggle to acknowledge the humanity of marginalized communities, notably people of color, amidst phenomena like mass incarceration, environmental degradation, and uncontrolled individualism.
Through an interdisciplinary lens embracing evolutionary psychology, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and indigenous psychology, the research advocates for a paradigm shift towards nurturing relationships, community care, and interconnectedness. By introducing honest dialogue about humanity\u27s evolutionary arc while simultaneously dismantling sanitized views of modern civilization, a critical inquiry ensues on reconstructing societal frameworks to combat racism, sexism, capitalism, homophobia, religious biases, and discrimination
A Proposal for Best Practices in Test Selection and Administration During (Mono/Bi)lingual Latine Evaluations
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to propose best practice methods for evaluators who provide testing to bilingual and monolingual Spanish-speaking individuals. The best practice method focuses on test selection and culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) test adaptations and modifications during test administration. Clinicians have an ethical responsibility to be well-versed and informed on the intersectionality of language and culture within current psychological tests and how CLD factors influence testing norms. Psychologists and mental health practitioners have expressed a need for guidelines on empirically or evidenced-based adaptations and modifications to standardized assessments to overcome the barriers facing Latine examinees. This paper discusses issues and obstacles evaluators navigate including the impact of language level/language acquisition, stage of acculturation, lack of reliable norms for Latine groups, and other CLD factors. Exploration and discussion of CLD considerations are used to propose a generalizable best practice model for evaluators in determining test selection and testing administration
