A look is enough: interviews with mothers of children with autism
No full textThis thesis provides an exploratory look at caregiving, blame, and mothers of children with autism. The framework of this project comes from historical patterns of mother blaming, gendered division of labor, and dominant constructions of disability as otherness. Theoretical insights from Michel Foucault and Margrit Shildrick on power, gender, disability, and bodily control are also brought into conversation to consider how these maternal and disabled bodies structure and are structured by systems of power. The project culminates with a presentation and analysis of themes from four in-depth interviews conducted with mothers of children with autism.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jennifer S.

Cult: A Composite Novel
No full textCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts
Luncheon with Jennifer Holm
No full textJennifer Holm was born in California but grew up in Audubon, Pa. As a child, she read constantly and was fascinated by the comic strips in the Sunday paper. She was always interested in writing, and her great aunt’s diary provided the inspiration for her first novel. May Amelia Jackson, her irrepressible and unforgettable heroine, has gone on to become one of the best loved characters in children’s fiction and made a welcome reappearance in 2011’s The Trouble with May Amelia. Our Only May Amelia (1999) became a Newbery Honor winner, and the book’s success allowed Holm to leave her job as a television broadcast producer and focus on writing full-time. She went on to write several more acclaimed books, including a second Newbery Honor winner, Turtle in Paradise (2011). Holm also writes the enormously successful Babymouse graphic novel series and has recently launched the Squish graphic novel series. Both are illustrated by her brother, Matthew Holm. Holm lives with her family in northern California
