Author-Illustrator
No full textThis essay investigates the concept author-illustrator by drawing on two influential essays – ‘Death of the Author’ by Roland Barthes and ‘What is an Author?’ by Michel Foucault. By engaging with the key points of debate that emerge from these positions, this essay argues that the notion of author-illustrator is part of a wider discursive field that is embedded in a complex, commodified, multimedia public sphere where the author is paradoxically reinscribed and erased. This environment is changing the nature of the text, authorship, and reader-text interaction, but until now the concept author-illustrator has been largely absent from these discussions
Dreamers of the Dark: Kerry Bolton and the Order of the Left Hand Path, a Case-study of a Satanic/Neo-Nazi Synthesis
No full textIn 1990 a small self-published journal/magazine called The Watcher was distributed among New Zealand's occult underground. The Watcher described itself as 'the New Zealand Voice of the Left Hand Path', and was published as the journal of the Order of the Left Hand Path. The Watcher and the Order directed its attentions towards those occultists who identified themselves as Satanists and, as such, the journal articulated a distinctly Satanic philosophy and perspective. However, as the journal evolved and developed, renaming itself as The Heretic and The Nexus in later years, there arose alongside Satanic philosophy an increasing emphases on what could be called esoteric Nazism or esoteric Nationalism. Given that the editor of The Watcher was Kerry Bolton, a man who has been immersed in New Zealand's Nationalist/neo-Nazi movement since the early 1970s, such an increasingly political orientation was perhaps unsurprising.
This thesis examines the way in which the Order bought Satanic and neo-Nazi ideologies together and the resulting synthesis. It also looks at the transition from being a Satanic order led by a neo-Nazi to an openly neo-Nazi Order that uses Satanic philosophy to justify and popularise its conception of National Socialism

Kerry Kennedy: Speak Truth to Power
No full textKerry Kennedy, author of the book Speak Truth To Power, highlights issues of human rights during times when the United States is recovering from terrorist attacks and engaging in war with Iraq.

Self-assessment: Questioning my classroom practice
No full textSelf-assessment activities have become commonplace in classroom environments. Just like most other primary teachers I use self-assessment activities in my classroom practice with good intentions for encouraging children to consider their own learning and achievement. Looking back, however, I see my use of self-assessment tasks served teacher and teaching purposes above student needs and the longer-term goal of developing self-directed (life-long) learners. In hindsight I believe what I was calling self-assessment could more accurately, and perhaps more helpfully, be defined as short, guided reflections. This paper questions this classroom practice and goes on to question the term ‘self-assessment’ suggesting we examine closely our meaning, purpose and practice of self-assessment in the classroom. This paper concludes with questions for teachers to use in reconsidering self-assessment in their own classroom practice

Countercultural communes: rejection or reflection of conventional mainstream gender norms?
No full textThis thesis utilizes a gendered analytical lens and a feminist framework in order to explore if the sixties countercultural communards of Colorado’s Drop City, Tennessee’s The Farm, and Virginia’s Twin Oaks achieved liberation from the mainstream gender roles that characterized post-World War II America. This study complicates the common assumption that communes represented spaces of liberation for individuals who wished to escape an oppressive and inequitable post-war society. Overall, this thesis found that men at Drop City, The Farm, and Twin Oaks were not only freed from their contemporary gender roles, but they were also able to remake meanings of masculinity within the communal context. This thesis also demonstrates that new meanings of masculinity tended to perpetuate traditional assumptions about male dominance and female domesticity. Additionally, this thesis discovered that incorporation of structure in communes, a facet of mainstream America that communards sought to escape, ironically furthered gender liberation and contributed to feminist growth in Twin Oaks in the 1970s and 1980s.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Kerry L.

Gender, place, and fear of victimization on campus: a comparative analysis of students' perceptions of safety and risk in suburban and urban settings
No full textOne of the most important predictors of fear of crime is gender, in that women are more fearful of crime than men despite their lower risks for victimization. Given that crime on campus has become one of the nation’s most pressing social problems, it is important to investigate the impact of perceived risk and fear of crime on students’ routines, in addition to how these vary by gender and campus context. As such, this study aims to answer the following questions: First, how does the community context and the presence of the campus police shape women’s and men’s perceptions of risk and fears of victimization on campus? Second, how and when do gender and campus context influence students’ ideas about who the most likely victims and perpetrators of crime are? And third, how does the adoption of precautionary strategies impact women’s and men’s perceptions of risk and fear of victimization? Through analysis of in-depth interviews with 70 undergraduates at a suburban (N=36) and an urban university (N=34), this study challenges previous research attributing women’s higher levels of fear to the notion that their concerns about sexual assault “shadow” their fears of other crimes, regardless of campus context. Although the shadow was present in both women’s and men’s remarks on the suburban campus, such that nearly all participants explicitly related the limited concerns they had to the possibility of women being sexually assaulted by non-students, it was largely absent on the urban campus where all students instead noted being most concerned about robbery committed by residents of the city who were poor and African American. Further, and contrary to existing research, gender shaped the precautionary measures that students used to minimize their risks in the two settings in different ways. Overall, this study emphasizes the need to consider context when examining how gender influences students’ perceptions of risk and fear of crime on campus, particularly since it has been central to investigations of residents’ perceptions of risk and fear of crime within neighborhood settings. This study’s findings aim to inform policy discussions at institutions of higher education, as administrators and campus police departments attempt to make students feel safer while also ensuring that women and men have equal access to the opportunities that will make their futures successful.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Shannon Kerry Jacobse
