A Study Of Japanese Women Today: Changing Gender Roles And Attitudes Toward Marriage, Shiho Hosokawa
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The Effects Of Comedic Media Criticism On Media Producers, Lindsay Nicole Newport
LSU Master's Theses
Leaning heavily on the media criticism and soft news literatures, the study analyzed comedic media criticism and the effect (if any) it has on the practices of media producers by studying a early 2009 exchange between The Daily Show host Jon Stewart and Mad Money with Jim Cramer host Jim Cramer.

Cycling As A Political Act: The Framing And Culture That Create A New Social Movement, Mitchael Lee Schwartz
University of Kentucky Master's Theses
This study analyzes the bicycling community of Lexington, Kentucky.

Finally, the potential for a broader cycling movement based upon interests …
