Hear We Are: Investigating Sonic Inequality within Bowling Green, Ohio
No full textUsing the framework of Steven Feld’s “acoustemology,” Hear We Are examines the sonic structures of Bowling Green and their effects on, and representation of, diverse communities within Bowling Green. Through modeling the sonic landscape of Bowling Green, Ohio in relation to aggregated census data, Hear We Are explores how the city of Bowling Green has been spatially and sonically organized – whether along lines of class, race, or education. Ultimately, Hear We Are offers a narrative of sound within Bowling Green while reflecting on the consequences of living within different soundscapes, i.e., sonic inequality
Using the theoretical framework of placemaking outlined by Ronald Lee Fleming, Hear We Are further engages with the community through a series of installations that attempt to provide an impetus for engaging local community members in further critical thinking about the connections between space, sound, and identity. Based on the author’s experience of living within in Bowling Green for two decades, I suggest that Bowling Green needs creative and artistic locations around the city that complicate and dissect the often-unquestioned assumption that soundscapes across Bowling Green are equitable and equally experienced
In the Company of Strangers
No full textRuby and Cat's friendship was forged on an English dockside sixty years ago when, as terrified children, they were shipped off to Australia. It was a friendship that was supposed to last a lifetime but when news of Cat's death reaches Ruby in London, it comes after years of estrangement. Declan too has drifted away from Cat but is forced back to her lavendar farm, Benson's Reach, by the terms of her will. He turns to his troubled friend Alice, who is desperate for a refuge. Can the magic of Benson's Reach triumph over the hurt of the past? Or is Cat's duty-laden legacy simply too much for Ruby and Declan to keep alive?" - Back cover

Human-Rights Discourse: An Examination of Shifting Conceptions of Human Rights within the Netherlands
No full textThe thrust of this research focuses on the dynamic ways in which conceptions of human rights, culture, and identity change in relation to increased inflows of allochthonous, non-western migration. Focusing on the Netherlands, this paper examines the Dutch public’s varied responses to migration – whether welcoming or antipathic – through two separate frames. First, an analysis of case law that focuses on the Dutch government’s response to personal family law within Islamic religious situations and the “free-speech trials” of Geert Wilders is undertaken to examine situational responses to perceived changes in culture and identity. Second, an exploration of migration within news coverage is attempted with an understanding that news framing – while “uncovering” certain truths, creates fictions through the single-storied fetishization of, in this case, the incompatibility of migrant culture with Dutch culture. Finally, this research concludes that human rights – while not explicitly discussed within public contexts – constitute a process-oriented part of the Netherland’s “culture of rights” while still at risk of being ignored in larger debates surrounding cultural compatibility
