The Exorcist: Believer (Susan Hopkins is horrified but in a thoughtful way)
No full textThe Exorcist: Believer (2023) is the latest in a long line of supernatural horror films that have attempted to emulate the commercial and critical success of the late William Friedkin’s iconic The Exorcist (1973). It seems there is something so deeply compelling in the mythology of an innocent girl corrupted by a demonic entity that it still resonates in the popular imagination some fifty years later. Unravelling the philosophical ideas at the dark heart of demonic possession horror, however, is a slippery business, especially in the current political climate, for as much as we like to think that our attitudes toward religion, illness, sex and the body have evolved, what fascinates and frightens us, or what disgusts us and yet draws us in, is much the same as it ever was. While The Exorcist: Believer pays its dues to modern demands for diversity and inclusion, it still invokes ancient warning messages and meanings about monsters from the underworld. As evidenced by the huge commercial success of the Conjuring horror franchise of the 2010s, even well-educated, jaded, postmodern audiences apparently want to believe, not just in the existence of evil, but in the Devil as a knowable and nameable entity. And as the director of The Exorcist: Believer, David Gordon Green, has recently observed, horror is one of the few remaining forms of popular culture where sensitive and provocative images and ideas can be creatively pushed to their titillating extremes. Thus, in mainstream horror cinema, disturbing representations of moral chaos, corruption, illness, and suffering might still be explored relatively free of personal and social censorship

Hopkins, Susan
No full textSusan Hopkins is a 53-year-old member of the LGBTQIA community, living in Westbrook, Maine. Susan grew up with her family on the small island of Vinalhaven in Penobscot Bay, hearing tales of her anti-racist bisexual aunt. A self-identified feminist in her adolescence, Susan recognized that she was not straight early on, but did not feel safe to come out in her small community. Going to the University of Maine, Orono, Susan experienced her first lesbian relationship and taste of chosen family. Eventually, Susan found herself at the Howard University School of Law, where she interned at Whitman Walter Clinic in D.C, and immersed herself in ‘queer’ culture. Many years later, Susan was connected with June Harris, a woman she dedicated much of this interview to, and they became close confidants. During their friendship, June introduced Susan to the hidden history of lesbian life in Maine during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Susan is passionate about Maine’s hidden sub-cultures, chosen family, intergenerational friendships, and the right to self-identify.

Home, meaning and identity: Learning from the English model of shared ownership
No full textThis article explores the problematic nature of the label ‘home ownership’ through a case study of the English model of shared ownership, one of the methods used by the UK government to make home ownership affordable. Adopting a legal and socio-legal analysis, the article considers whether shared ownership is capable of fulfilling the aspirations households have for home ownership. To do so, the article considers the financial and non-financial meanings attached to home ownership and suggests that the core expectation lies in ownership of the value. The article demonstrates that the rights and responsibilities of shared owners are different in many respects from those of traditional home owners, including their rights as regards ownership of the value. By examining home ownership through the lens of shared ownership the article draws out lessons of broader significance to housing studies. In particular, it is argued that shared ownership shows the limitations of two dichotomies commonly used in housing discourse: that between private and social housing; and the classification of tenure between owner-occupiers and renters. The article concludes that a much more nuanced way of referring to home ownership is required, and that there is a need for a change of expectations amongst consumers as to what sharing ownership means
Oral History of Warren C. Hayman
No full textWarren C. Hayman is an African American educator who spent the last decades of his long career at Morgan State University, where he served as Assistant Dean of Education and Program Coordinator for the Doctoral Program in Urban Educational Leadership. From 1985 to 1997, Hayman worked in the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Continuing Studies as the coordinator for the JHU-Dunbar High School Health Professions Program. The JHU-Dunbar program was a cooperative effort between Johns Hopkins University, the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, and Dunbar High School to prepare students for access to higher education and consideration of careers in the health and science professions.
While the oral history primarily focuses on Hayman’s role as program coordinator, Hayman also speaks about his educational background and professional development from the 1960s to the 1980s, during an era of civil rights activism, the rise of Black Studies, and increasing calls for multicultural education. Hayman goes on to discuss the development of the JHU-Dunbar Health Professions Program, which had support from JHU President Steven Muller, Johns Hopkins Hospital President Robert Heyssel, and Dunbar High School Principal Elzee Gladden. Hayman discusses the opportunities created for students in different components of the program, such as the summer bridge program, “A” Course, summer scholars program, and participation in Biomedical Symposiums organized by the Association of Minority Health Professions Schools (AMPHS). The summer scholars program gave students the opportunity for a paid, six-week internship experience with a Johns Hopkins professional in their area of interest, such as pediatrics, veterinary medicine, or ophthalmology. Students worked with faculty and medical professionals associated with Johns Hopkins Hospital, JHU School of Medicine, JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Johns Hopkins Hospital School of Nursing. The interview provides important insight into the history of the JHU-Dunbar program, its impact on student success, and the ongoing relationship between Johns Hopkins, Dunbar High School, and the East Baltimore community. This oral history was conducted as part of the Reexamining Hopkins History Initiative.
In addition to those mentioned above, Dr. Hayman mentions the following Johns Hopkins affiliates who were connected with the program in different capacities: Kerwyn Barbour; Deidra Bishop; Lee Bone; Benjamin Carson; James Coleman; Colene Daniel; Ralph Fessler; Susan Flora; Stanley C. Gabor; Margaret “Peggi” Graves; Joseph S. Hall; Yariela Kerr-Donovan; Dwight Lassiter; James M. McPartland; David G. Nichols; Michael Preston; Mark C. Rogers; Edgar Roulhac; Joseph L. Smith; Roland Smoot; Levi Watkins, Jr
