Abstract:

Oppression makes certain social identities morally significant. I argue in my dissertation that this relevance manifests in disparate ways and that we should develop a theory about three ontologically distinct aspects of a social identity in order to explain these differences. The way institutions define people in terms of race, gender, or religion matters because that classification plays a role in how individuals can or cannot participate in society. But oppression is not only a series of structural barriers: it also fosters demeaning stereotypes that distort the way we self-identify or how

Abstract:

In this dissertation I use rhetorical analysis and draw on articulation theory, primarily as it is conceived by Stuart Hall, to analyze the ways that LGBT social movements constitute and strategically deploy macro-level identities. This research focuses on the ways that movement identities--from the gay liberation of Stonewall through the current movements for marriage and military service--are rhetorically constructed. By tracking national LGBT social-movement organizations through such dynamic changes, my analyses reveal the ways that rearticulating the identity of a social movement can help

In this study, I interviewed twenty-seven women who possessed same-sex desires and lived in rural areas in Kentucky, Tennessee and Southern Illinois. The women in the study had constructed these desires with various labels including "gay," "lesbian," "queer," "bisexual," or preferred no label. Each of the participants talked about growing up rural areas of the Midsouth in communities which often were based on traditional, patriarchal families, fundamentalist Christianity, and conservative politics. The women told stories of how they not only realized their same-sex feelings within this soci

In both settings Māori are required to make decisions about the continuity of their ethnic Māori identities and hereditary cultural identities of iwi, hapu and whanau, and the part that they wish these identities to play in their daily lives.

Abstract:

According to self-categorization theory (SCT), environmental context is the key factor in determining whether or not a social identity will be activated. Blanz (1999) has extended SCT by suggesting that there are certain social categories (i.e., race and gender) that people will chronically use to categorize individuals. However, neither of these two perspectives addresses the notion that individuals could differ in the chronic accessibility of a given social identity. The present research explored this hypothesis.

In addition, the tendency to favor traditionalist interpretations of Islam, and the reduction of Arab experience as the primary way to experience Islam are
