In Defense Of Black Women: Black Women Advocacy And The National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People, 1945–1995, Crystal Mederies Ellis
In Defense Of Black Women: Black Women Advocacy And The National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People, 1945–1995, Crystal Mederies Ellis
Theses and Dissertations
In the period following World War II, the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP) served as the longest standing and most experienced organization
serving African Americans. It was during this postwar period, from 1945 to 1995, that its
membership boomed at the regional and local levels and the organization worked to ensure
federal anti-discrimination policies benefited black Americans through their various branches. In
this dissertation, which draws on research from the NAACP archives, I argue that from 1945 to
1995 the NAACP addressed the needs of black women by advocating for them in housing
struggles, employment litigation, …

ABSTRACT
A PEDAGOGY OF ACCESS ADVOCACY
by
Molly E. Ubbesen
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2020
Under the Supervision of Professor Shevaun Watson
I propose “a pedagogy of access advocacy” for students and teachers based on practices developed in the first-year composition classroom. A pedagogy of access advocacy aims to destigmatize the access needs of students and teachers by inviting them to share and support each other’s needs and to center and celebrate the creation of collective access. This dissertation brings together theories and methodologies from composition, rhetoric, disability studies, teacher action research, and critical discourse analysis to examine student reflections …

Fighting For 504: Negotiating Hegemonic Ability Through Verbal Advocacy And Disabled Embodiment, Drew Finney
Fighting For 504: Negotiating Hegemonic Ability Through Verbal Advocacy And Disabled Embodiment, Drew Finney
Department of Communication Studies: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
In my thesis, I look at San Francisco’s 504 sit-in for disability rights. I argue that both the verbal advocacy and the embodied actions of protestors demonstrate that dis/ability is constructed through a hegemonic process. I contend that combating hegemonic understandings of disability creates a tension between being a counter hegemonic movement and desiring the benefits of hegemonic legibility. To make these arguments, my thesis draws several conclusions. I argue that activists enacted a civil- rights framework to communicate the need for Section 504 to the public. I explain that activists adopted the role of educator to address problematic ideas …
Never Again Is Now: A Study Into Intergenerational Trauma, Madeline Boettcher
Never Again Is Now: A Study Into Intergenerational Trauma, Madeline Boettcher
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
Our history is filled with atrocities which have shaped the current structures of injustice we face today. The Japanese Internment, the Holocaust and the Indian Boarding Schools are just some examples which have poisoned communities with trauma. Since these past injustices have been presented through a patriotic lens the full scope of accountability has not been addressed. This lack of accountability has perpetuated structures of oppression and lead to scenarios in which marginalized communities could continue to be mistreated. History is repeating itself at the United States and Mexican boarder, as families and children are torn apart and put in …

Phenomenon: Reproductive justice (RJ) is defined by women of color advocates as the right to have children, not have children and parent children while maintaining reproductive autonomy. In the United States, physicians have been complicit in multiple historical reproductive injustices, involving coercive sterilization of thousands of people of color, low income, and disabilities. Currently, reproductive injustices continue to occur; however, physicians have no formal RJ medical education to address injustices. The objective of this study was to engage leading advocates within the movement using a Delphi method to identify critical components for such a curriculum. Approach: In 2016, we invited …

Social Justice Scholarship Informing Visual Communication Practices, Alicia Campbell
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
My discussion hinges on the groundwork of social justice as integral to the field of technical and professional communication (TPC) with an understanding of the importance of visual communication; ultimately, I seek to understand the intersections of Social Justice and Visual Communication within the field of Technical Communication. Based on this research, I develop a heuristic that allows technical communicators to critically analyze their visual communication efforts, specifically infographics, for advocacy/social justice.
