“Gender and International Migration: From Slavery to Present” with Dr. Katharine Donato

Date: Sep. 14, 2021
Time: 3:30 pm–5:00 pm
Nebraska Union, Platte River Room

WGS 2021 Annual Lecture:
In this lecture, Professor Donato will discuss her book project with historian Donna Gabaccia. Their work suggests that the roles of women and men in human migrations require a substantial re-thinking and shift away from simple notions related to the feminization of migration. Women and men who migrate live in gendered social worlds, embedded in the contexts of families and communities. As a result, women and men have always been actors who migrate, and at times and in different places, women (men) are more likely than men (women) to migrate.

“Caught on Tape: Access Hollywood and Obscene Enjoyment” Dr. Casey Kelly

Date: Sep. 15, 2021
Time: 12:00 pm–1:00 pm
In person location TBD, contact Dawn O. Braithwaite: dbraithwaite@unl.edu

Dr. Casey Ryan Kelly is Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His broad research interests in rhetoric, critical media studies, and cultural studies include representations of masculinity, whiteness, race/racism, indigenous self-determination, and sexuality in film. He is author of four books, including Apocalypse man: The death drive and the rhetoric of white masculine victimhood. (Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 2020), Food Television and Otherness in the Age of Globalization(Lexington Press, 2017), and Abstinence Cinema: Virginity and the Rhetoric of Sexual Purity in Contemporary Film (Rutgers University Press, 2016). His next book, tentatively titled Caught on Tape: Backlash, Enjoyment, and Public Secrets explores the melodramatic and entertainment frameworks at work in public revelations of private racism and misogyny in the age of surveillance, from the infamous Access Hollywood Tape and Donald Sterling's racist confessions to the endless scroll of racist rants and public freakouts on Youtube. Kelly's work appears in journals such as Quarterly Journal of Speech, Rhetoric and Public Affairs, Critical Studies in Media Communication, and Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies among others. Kelly was the 2018 recipient of the National Communication Association's Karl R. Wallace Memorial Award.
