Judith Ezekiel, Tristina Allen, Stephanie Brooks, Dylan Colvin, Dana Graham, Gloria Graziano, Kathy Hayes, Jameela Henderson, Hannah Hendrix, Olivia Jackson, Ashley Johnson, Toshia Johnson, BreAnna Kusko, Matthew Luc, Tiree Moore, Carly Perkins, Stephanie Rushing, Kyle Smith, Kelsey Tingler, Taylor Walker, and Jo Wildman
Students from Dr. Judith Ezekiel's Spring 2015 Women's Studies courses, "Feminist Activism" and "Women, Gender, and Black Freedom Movements," collaborated to create a booklet that presents the lives of a dozen black women who were killed by the police or who died while in police custody, in order to argue for the inclusion of black women in the "Black Lives Matter" movement, not merely as originators and supporters of the cause but as a group that is protected and remembered within the movement in the same capacity as black men.

Desolation's March: The Rise of Personalism and the Reign of Amusement in 21st Century America
Stephen Paul Foster Ph.D.
Dr. Stephen Foster (author of Melancholy Duty, Kluwer, 1997) has undertaken a critique of American decadence and moral squalor. He argues that three basic cultural phenomena have conjoined to warp and degrade the moral and cultural landscape of the country. Treated together for purposes of critique these phenomena have intertwined in the national psyche. They are the impact of personalism (via J. J. Rosseau) and the leveraged individual, the growth of the therapeutic state and the overwhelming preoccupation with entertainment. The author suggests the moral and cultural quandary these "states" have wrought and the attendant loss of artistic, moral and social integrity that the United States has suffered.
