'F- F- Felt it': Breathing Feminist, Queer and Clown Thinking into the Practice and Study of Sarah Kane’s Cleansed and Blasted
No full textThis thesis uses studio practice, scholarly research, close reading of text, performance observation and conversation with practitioners to establish diverse readings of Sarah Kane’s Cleansed. It includes original material from the 2012 productions of Cleansed in Japan (Kamome-za Fringe Theatre), and in Ireland (Bare Cheek Theatre). It notes practice on Cleansed in gallery spaces (Cast-Off Drama, UK). It offers a dramaturgical approach to workshopping the play from a feminist and queer position, informed by theories of gender and transgender, and the marginalised, loving and delinquent practice of clowning. The research discusses principles of breath, voice and sexuate difference drawing primarily on the philosophies of Luce Irigaray, on the voice practice of Cicely Berry and the clown teaching of Sue Morrison.
The work challenges the ‘in-yer-face’ theatre discourse on Kane arguing that it represents a McDonaldization of its subject matter, and an insidious trivialisation of her texts. It offers new thinking on the opening night of Blasted (1995), suggesting that the ‘furore’ was fuelled by collective male hysteria and superstition; its roots centred in mourning. Analysing Cleansed in relation to Edward Bond’s Saved and Lear, it explores tropes of ghosts, stitching and the silent scream, and argues that Kane militates for gynocentric time and becoming. It analyses the symbol of the perimeter fence as a feature of 1980s Britain, noting the strength of binary associations configured in it with reference to both English football hooliganism (male) and the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp (female). It argues that Kane sets up heteronormative binaries in Cleansed to debate and contest them.
A key conclusion of the thesis is that Cleansed politically addresses and dramatises issues of transgender experience presenting accounts of gender violence, mutability, transitioning, the sharp fractures and silences of gender dysphoria, but also, ultimately, queer desire, love and optimism
Developing Core Leadership Competencies for the Library Profession
No full textThe development of competencies, competency lists, or competency models has become a popular way to assess the strengths, needs, and potential contributions of individuals in an organization. The success of libraries as organizations is determined by the actions of the individuals who work in those libraries; the success of those individuals in carrying out the missions of those libraries is in large measure a reflection of the type and quality of leadership. Successful library leaders demonstrate certain skills that are instrumental in the delivery of desired outcomes. We usually think of the demonstration of these skills as competencies.
Creating a list of competencies for library leaders is a key objective envisioned in the strategic plan of the Library Leadership Administration and Management Association (LLAMA). This task was assigned to five members of the 2008 class of the American Library Association’s Emerging Leaders Program. The project is a critical first step toward a list of competencies or standards that would serve at least three types of users: library educators planning curricula, aspiring library leaders hoping to advance their careers, and experienced library leaders seeking to advance the profession. This article will provide an overview of the library literature addressing competency models, describe the process used to develop the competency model for library leadership, review competency models found in the literature of other professions, and discuss the proposed core competency model for leadership in our profession

Interactions among degenerate Rydberg series, arising from Jahn-Teller distortions of molecular geometry, play an important role in the formulation.

Three Essays in Applied Microeconomics.
No full textMy dissertation, Three Essays in Applied Microeconomics, provides an inter-disciplinary look at topics involving choice and welfare in economics.
In my first chapter, Growing Up in a Steel Town: Early-Life Exposure and Later-Life Mortality (Sarah Taylor), I explore individuals who had early life-life exposure to pollutants in towns in Pennsylvania during the early 1900 (a period of time where the coal market was strong and when technology from production was in its infancy. Those who suffered from exposure to pollution had higher mortality rates in later-life. Here, the contribution is to posit new welfare approximations of pollution that can inform policy.
In my second chapter, “Tell All the Truth, but Tell it Slant”: Testing Models of Media Bias (Collin Raymond and Sarah Taylor), we propose a simple setting for make choices giving a stylized setting. We compiled a unique dataset including information about weather predictions, realized weather, and so forth. Given this setting we can run comparative statics and, focusing on choice, we discover how Media Bias may actually improve welfare.
In the final chapter, Behavioral Mechanism Design: Evidence from the Modified First-Price Auctions (Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Sarah Taylor, Neslihan Uler), we gather data in a laboratory setting for which we can directly measure how choices on bids change with difference settings. Here, my coauthors and I look at mechanism design to consider which setting generates better profits for an auctioneer—with the intention of assessing welfare issues for both buyers and those who design the buyers’ auction.PhDEconomicsUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
