The Artist’s Creation of Identity through Self–Representation Anthony Apesos, Lesley University U-Hall 3-103 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM Many painters in the western tradition have depicted themselves embedded in works of art as participants in the narrative scene. In this presentation, I will explore strategies artists have used to do this and the motivation for doing so, particularly as a means of creating self–identity. I will consider examples of canonical artists who have done this, and my own practice as a painter, as an analogy and model for considering issues of community and inclusion. |

Gay Semiotics and the Struggle for Representation Kolin Perry, Lesley University U-Hall 3-103 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM This presentation is an examination of the gay male community of the Castro District in San Francisco during the late 1970s through the work of photographer Hal Fisher. By examining how Fisher’s representation of the Castro manipulated the way viewers understood male homosexuality (as being Caucasian and youthful), insight will be gained on Fisher’s place within a “Gay Mainstream,” the diversity of the Castro District, and its reflection of the gay community. |

Jordan Penney, Lesley University U-Hall 3-103 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM Ignorance is a personal and honest reflection of my awakening and my journey of self–identity in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. It is an invitation to get inside the head of a newborn activist and to open your mind to new ideas and perspectives. Ignorance is a narrative of my participation in the fight for social justice. This poem is my voice, and I am adding it to the collective call for unity, peace, compassion, and justice for all. |

Picturing Health, Picturing Life: Visual Narratives of African American Women with Diabetes Sarah Gurley-Green, Lesley University U-Hall 3-086 6:40 PM - 7:30 PM Diabetes affects African American women disproportionally; the common misconception is that it is a lifestyle disease born of junk food and excess. However, genetics, food insecurity, racism, poverty, and stress are causal. This dissertation, which uses participant–created data of 13 women, yields a unique and valuable understanding of the ontology of these women. Participant–created photo elicitation narrative interviewing works intersubjectively to facilitate narrative creation to be a powerful force in validating and recording the life–world of such women. |

Particularly, language teachers dealing with East Asian ELLs would benefit from the pragmatics of embarrassment. |
