“The Man Who Would Be Popular”: An Analysis of Salman Rushdie’s Twitter Feed
No full text In September 2011, Salman Rushdie joined the popular social network Twitter. What initially began as an experiment to tweet a narrative in 140 characters became an intensely dynamic platform for engaging with the public and cultivating an authorial persona for the well-known author. By early 2015, Rushdie had nearly 700,000 Twitter followers and regularly appeared in news media for his Twitter content. Shortly after joining Twitter, Rushdie eagerly demonstrated his knowledge of the platform and has involved some of his 1.25 million followers in debates and conversations about a wide range of issues from the 2012 and 2016 presidential campaigns to gun control. More than just an interesting glimpse into Rushdie’s everyday thoughts, his Twitter feed is a valuable archive. By applying qualitative discourse analysis to Rushdie’s Twitter feed, patterns in Rushdie’s use of the social network emerge, revealing some of the ways in which he attempts to engage readers, defend his positions, and cultivate his authorial legacy. This article develops careful categorization of concepts and themes which emerge from a review of Rushdie’s tweets. Applying discourse analysis to this data will enable scholars to make valuable connections between analyses of Rushdie’s published work and his social media persona. In particular, this study looks at the ways in which this noted author is attempting to disseminate his message, inhabit his role as a celebrity author, and shape his authorial legacy. </jats:p

Committee: Dr. Keith Byron Kirk, Director of Graduate Studies and Karen Kopryanski, Head of Voice and Speech
How does this method of Ritual Poetic Drama within the African Continuum, by extension, solo performance, uncover, heal queer trauma through witnessing and performance practice? How do these methods give us an intersectional approach to talking about race, identity, gender and bridge those divides? How does this devised work of solo performance allow the author as practitioner to claim the ground on which they stand and surrender to their own healing?
This thesis attempts excavation of the foundational theories in regard to performance structure, and to discover how healing trauma through theoretical techniques achieves liberation through their enacted practice. This is an allowance of ourselves as artists and facilitators to claim our traumatic bodies as worthy sites of invention
Sex influences health: reporting on female characteristics should be mandatory in exercise and physical activity-related diabetes research

No full textThe benefits of exercise and physical activity (PA) for people living with diabetes are clear. However, current exercise recommendations do not take into consideration the potential impact of female-specific hormonal changes across the lifespan on the glycemic response to exercise. Moreover, the impact of life phases on barriers to participation in exercise and PA for women compared to men with diabetes is not well described. In this narrative review we have synthesized the literature to date regarding the interaction of female sex hormone variations (menarche and the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and the menopausal transition) with glycemic management in the context of exercise for females with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We also evaluated PA behaviours and barriers to participation in exercise and PA among individuals with diabetes identifying as women. We observed a lack of evidence regarding the impact of female-specific hormonal changes on the glycemic response to exercise among females with diabetes, with a particular paucity of studies during pregnancy and postpartum and for the menopausal transition. In this study we demonstrate that additional research is required to understand the influence of exercise on glucose management for females with diabetes across the lifespan, with the aim to provide safe and effective exercise recommendations and to encourage equitable participation in exercise and PA for females and women with diabetes throughout life.</p
