\u201cNew Cocking\u201d as a Gendered Process of Correctional Officers\u2019 Welcoming of New Peers\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This presentation examines one facet of correctional officers\u2019 (COs\u2019) workplace inclusion. Specifically, it explores how gender, a prison\u2019s custody grade (based on level of security risk), and workplace culture influenced how veteran COs informally welcomed new ones upon entry to their new workplace through the mild hazing ritual of \u201cnew cocking.\u201d Based on in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews with 27 COs at a higher-custody men\u2019s prison and at a lower-custody men\u2019s prison,<\/span> I discuss how COs viewed new cocking and how and why COs\u2019 involvement in new cocking differed between female and male COs, the prisons\u2019 custody levels, and their workplace cultures. In the process, I describe the gendered nature and outcomes of new cocking as a means of welcoming COs at men\u2019s prisons. In general, the study\u2019s findings reinforce those of previous studies about the nature of CO as a male-dominated occupation and men\u2019s prisons as masculinized organizations. The additional findings that a prison\u2019s custody grade and its workplace culture affect new officers\u2019 welcoming underscores the need to analyze the factors that can heighten or attenuate the masculinized aspects of COs\u2019 work in men\u2019s prisons.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Diane D. Everett<\/strong>, Professor of Sociology, earned her B.A. from Millsaps College and her M.A. and Ph.D. from Duke University.\u00a0 Since joining Stetson University, she has served in numerous leadership roles, including Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, co-chair of the Council of Undergraduate Associate Deans, co-chair of Provost Search Committee, Chair of the Faculty Senate, Interim Chair of the Department of Integrative Health Science (now, Health Sciences), Director of the Stetson Institute for Social Research, and Chair of the Tenure and Promotion Review Task Force.\u00a0 She is currently serving as the Chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, the Provost Faculty Fellow for Academic Advising, and the Coordinator of the Social Science major.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Diane\u2019s areas of specialization include gender, work, higher education, and applied social research.\u00a0 She enjoys mentoring undergraduates and has co-presented professional presentations and co-authored articles with students, as well as with faculty and staff colleagues.\u00a0 Her philosophy of undergraduate education is reflected in one of her favorite quotations: \u201cEducation is not making a living; it\u2019s making a life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Dr. Chris Jimenez<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Assistant Professor of English<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Department of English<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n
Homoglyphs, Letter Shapes, and the Cultural Politics of Character Encoding Standards<\/h5>\n
\n

In this spotlight talk, Dr. Jimenez describes and theorizes the features of what is known as a “homoglyph,” a character whose literal or figural shape is nearly identical to and\/or easily mistaken for another. Homoglyphs occupy a unique place between the visual representation of scripts and the digital encoding of data\u2014namely, while computers do not “see” homoglyphs yet can identify them easily, humans experience almost entirely the opposite and confuse them for one another. Dr. Jimenez thus explores in this talk the question of when a glyph counts as a glyph (or even as itself), structuring the discussion by examining a recent clash between China and Japan over the representation of Chinese characters and what historical variants should be included in the international standard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. Chris D. Jimenez<\/strong> is Assistant Professor of English at Stetson. His research examines the discourse of catastrophe in 20th- and 21st-century global Anglophone literature, with interdisciplinary interests in ecocriticism, nuclear criticism, and biopolitics. His main book project, The Exploding Globe<\/i>, argues that engaging with real and imagined catastrophe has allowed contemporary authors to expand the scale of literature beyond national boundaries to produce a distinctly global aesthetics. To this end and aided by a Penfield Research Fellowship in 2015, Dr. Jimenez traveled to Japan to study nuclear disaster and its global literary representations in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima. Dr. Jimenez also has an abiding interest in the digital humanities and has worked on numerous DH projects, and was the Andrew W. Mellon Price Lab Doctoral Fellow in the Digital Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania from 2016-2017, contributing to the Price Lab’s Mellon Seminars and DH project incubation. These experiences have helped informed Dr. Jimenez’s second book project, A Literary History of Unicode.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
