Gender Justice: The Role Of Stories And Images, Linda L. Berger, Kathryn M. Stanchi
Gender Justice: The Role Of Stories And Images, Linda L. Berger, Kathryn M. Stanchi
Scholarly Works
In this book chapter, Professor Berger argues for thoughtful metaphor-making and storytelling in legal writing. Exploring legal rhetoric with an eye for gender justice, she argues metaphor and narrative shape perspective and ask the reader to join the writer in the imaginative work of seeing one thing as another. The same shift in perspective that leads to re-conception—a shift that takes advantage of metaphor and narrative’s ability to say what only they can say—is what writers aim to achieve when they use metaphor and narrative for feminist and social justice advocacy.
Our National Psychosis: Guns, Terror, And Hegemonic Masculinity, Stewart Chang
Our National Psychosis: Guns, Terror, And Hegemonic Masculinity, Stewart Chang
Scholarly Works
In this Article, Professor Stewart Chang, through the examination of three recent mass shooting, proposes that mass shootings driven by hegemonic masculinity should be classified and addressed as acts of terrorism. Professor Chang defines hegemonic masculinity as patterns or practices that promote the dominant social position of men and the subordinate social position of women and other gender identities. In this Article, he examines how hegemonic masculinity is allowed to become mainstream and flourish unchecked based on our characterization, classification and reaction to mass shootings and their perpetrators.
