    Cultural Colonialism in the Twin Cities Jazz Scene
    (2023) Garmoe, Ryan
    This paper explores the relationship between jazz, white supremacy, and colonialism, and how that relationship manifests in the Twin Cities jazz community. Jazz' s interaction with complex sociological concepts is well documented throughout the music's history. However, the discussion of jazz's racialized and exploited past rarely informs decision-making in everyday jazz happenings. How are current jazz systems the result of colonial history? The data to answer such questions, in the context of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, was gathered through musician-to-musician interviews and a survey created and distributed in conjunction with a local jazz non-profit, Jazz Central Studios. While drawing exact parallels to colonial action is difficult, preliminary findings suggest the Twin Cities jazz community continues to struggle with race and gender dynamics, despite the area's pride as a progressive bastion. Furthermore, the presence of robust state arts funding provides important context on why certain genres thrive and others are left grasping for straws. The Twin Cities jazz scene is well positioned for growth. Strong local musicians and the area's positive disposition towards the arts suggest there is space for jazz to flourish in the coming years, despite generally agreed-upon challenges. This paper aims to spark productive dialogue between key stakeholders and create more equitable, fair, and vibrant jazz systems in the Twin Cities.

    A Preliminary Qualitative Analysis of Home Schooling on Stormfront
    (2021-05) Maxwell, Joseph
    In recent years, attention to radicalization has focused in on how extremist ideology may be replicated within the family, and passed on intergenerationally (Avdeenko & Siedler, 2017; Riany et al, 2018) Little research explores radicalization within the family unit itself (Spalek, 2016). To gain insight into extremist family units, qualitative methodology was used to explore online posts pertaining to family on Stormfront, a prominent white supremacist website. This project followed case study methodology. A webcrawler was used to collect posts from the board. Thematic analysis was used to organize and analyze data. Homeschooling was found to be a prominent topic within education; all posts within the homeschooling domain were brought under further analysis to derive their intended purpose for further understanding their context. Three themes were identified within the data: Replicating White Nationalist Framing, A Call for Urgency, and Academic White Flight. The analysis of the posts’ purpose revealed that majority of posts, 73%, were intended to find or share resources for homeschooling.
