Intermediate Force Capabilities
This article outlines the relevance of intermediate force capabilities as a key enabler for North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) operations in the gray zone.1 NATO adversaries, well aware of the NATO thresholds for employment of lethal force, intentionally operate in a way that limits the alliance’s options in crisis and conflict situations. At present, these options are often restricted to two extremes of mere presence or the use of lethal …
Unmasking the ageism of whiteness during Covid-19
This essay explores how ageism and youth supremacy have informed the anti-masking attitudes and actions of toxic white masculinity throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I argue that because elderly populations have been particularly vulnerable throughout the pandemic and because face masks often connote this vulnerability, white masculinity has sought to maintain power by resisting masking, and therefore, avoiding being perceived as old. By analyzing…
Saving white women
The horror thriller Don't Breathe (2016) follows three robbers as they invade the home of a blind Navy SEAL veteran who violently battles against them. Among the robbers is Rocky, a white woman desperately seeking financial security. Don't Breathe depicts Rocky's body in various states of physical immobility, signifying her vulnerability. By only recognizing the vulnerabilities of poor white women's bodies, the film leaves unrecognized the vulner…
The monstrous man-boy
The “monstrous man-boy” is an uncanny white male villain in the horror genre who, despite his adult appearance and age, acts childishly and violently toward others. His monstrosity is reminiscent of the white male immaturity that has defined the politics of the Trump presidency. Utilizing feminist critical age and psychoanalytic revisionist theory in combination with critical media communication studies, this essay examines the monstrous man-boy …
The Reparative Bite of the Zombie Mouth
This article examines the Zombie Mouth Fleshlight, a product from the Fleshlight line of male masturbatory sex “toys.” Modeled to resemble the oral orifice of the zombie, the Zombie Mouth presents the illusion that it is biting its user’s genitals. Drawing upon Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s reparative motive and Jane Gallop’s theory of queer phallic castration, I argue that the Zombie Mouth can be interpreted as a site for imagining queer-feminist form…
Drinking and Disappearing
This article analyzes the 2010 vampire horror film Let Me In, focusing on how age and gender are represented through the vampiric mouth. Drawing upon critical feminist age scholarship and Freudian writings on orality and fetishization, I examine the characters Abby, a seemingly preteen vampire, and Owen, her young human friend. Throughout the film, as Abby uses her mouth to drink the blood of others, she is marked not as a young girl but as an “o…
Containing Voices of Memory
Applying theories of voice, feminist film and extratextual media studies, and queer rhetorical memory, this article considers how lesbian feminism in the American second-wave feminist movement is remembered in the 2013 documentary film MAKERS: The Women Who Make America. The film minimizes and omits the voices of lesbian women, thereby overlooking the queer memories they express of the feminist movement. Many of these voices are only made accessi…
Promotion of Civic Engagement with the Family Leadership Training Institute
In this efficacy study, both quantitative and qualitative data were used to gauge the effects of the Family Leadership Training Institute (FLTI) on civic knowledge and empowerment, civic engagement, and community health. The sample of 847 FLTI participants and 166 comparison adults completed pretest and posttest surveys. Medium to very large short‐term effects were observed in civic literacy, empowerment, and engagement. Results mapping interview…

Tobacco control in the EU-15
Various explanations have been advanced for the adoption of increasingly restrictive tobacco control policies in Western democracies, usually based on an examination of individual instruments. Some of the more popular explanations are socioeconomic modernization, interest group politics, political institutions, government ideology and vertical diffusion from the European Union (EU). This paper uses statistical models to test explanations of tobac…
Is Canada a Westminster or Consensus Democracy? A Brief Analysis
Because of its mix of institutions and practices, the fundamental nature of the government of Canada is a problematic case for scholars. A reconsideration of the Canadian polity needs to be undertaken because of events over the past quarter century, such as the development of executive federalism; the repatriation of a revised Constitution from the supervision of the United Kingdom over the objections of Quebec; the rejection of the constitutiona…
