International students, who comprise 14.5% percent of the student body at Penn State Harrisburg, expressed concern regarding personal finances in an institutional survey. Using situational comedy clips that addressed financial missteps, the author worked with an English conversation group to discuss personal finance management and financial assistance resources and to promote financial literacy amongst the students based on the Reference and User Services Association’s Financial Literacy Education in Libraries: Guidelines and Best Practices for Service. The use of sitcoms allowed humor to lighten what can often be a taboo subject. The clips provided examples to critique rather than using personal experiences. Students reacted positively to the program structure and participated in lively conversation.

A survey conducted among 50 members of the Los Angeles Workforce, all within the age range of 20-50 years, and with a minimum of 2 years of work experience and a minimum of 2 years of college education, delivered results that may be of interest to managers in their efforts to enhance workers' satisfaction and successfully transcend the challenges of these times. The focus of this study was on values that mattered most in challenging times to members of the workforces. The hypothesis that inner-and inter-human aspects would be considered more important than money and status in such times was highly supported, with values such as love and relationships, and positive motivation, in an overwhelming lead. While financial worries were undoubtedly considered, it was underscored that in times of trouble, employees reach inwardly and outwardly to inner-human and inter-human connectedness.

In this stand-up special, money is a wellspring for the comedy of funnyman Gary Gulman, who aims darts at the überwealthy -- including Donald Trump.

This thesis problematises the treatment of gender in judicial reasoning in the cases decided under Hindu custody law in Indian courts. India has several religious personal laws to regulate the lives of its citizens. Of these, Hindu law governs the personal lives of about 800 million people in India and forms the largest set of personal laws. It is largely based on Common Law Principles, due to colonial influence at the time of its codification. However, there has been limited research on case law in this area of law, especially in terms of analysing gender in these judgments. This thesis takes a set of cases not previously analysed, problematises how judges approach gender in them, and thereby contributes to Indian legal feminist and religious personal law literature.The site of this research is a set of custody cases decided under the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956. In the first part of the thesis, the underlying premises of judicial reasoning in the cases are studied. The analysis of the cases draws out disparity of treatment of gender in these cases, as well as underlying normative assumptions about gender roles in judicial reasoning. Further, the thesis demonstrates how the middle-class Hindu woman is constructed as a privileged but subordinate person or \"Elite Dependent\" in judicial reasoning. The analysis challenges the claim that these cases are decided in line with Constitutional ideals. The central argument developed from the cases is that judicial reasoning is based on normative ideas of gender and the judges do little to rectify gender inequities.The second part of the thesis examines the possible impact of judicial reasoning in the cases under study on the formulation of a new Uniform Civil Code to replace religious personal laws in India. The key argument in this part of the thesis is that the Hindu code should not be used as a blueprint for this Uniform Civil Code, as the gendered nature of judicial reasoning raises important concerns on the egalitarian nature of the Hindu Code. Using both the parts, this thesis verifies and expands the hypothesis proposed by Indian legal feminists that religious personal law in India is gendered. This thesis contributes to Indian legal feminist scholarship on religious personal laws in general and to the specific debates in India. The analysis of case law as well as the formulation of the category of Elite Dependent are its unique contributions to furthering this body of literature.

This dissertation explores the ways that female stand-up comedians maintain economic stability and also perform abject material and abject personas to destabilize dominant or normative definitions of women. The term “revolution” in the title speaks to my argument that revolutionary performances by women are taking place on many stand-up stages, where comedians are free from set form or set scripts and can experiment as they please. The disciplines of Performance Studies, Women's Studies, and Transnational Studies have been essential to the investigation of these performances. My approach examines the performances by women in Sweden and the U.S., exploring how both nations have vastly differing structures of government (for example, the vastly different approaches to immigration and social welfare). The recent explosion or “revolution” in Stand-up Comedy in Sweden offers a more diverse palette of comedians, particularly for female political refugees who speak to issues of transnational identification. Ultimately, this dissertation seeks to explore the moments when comedy by women tampers with systems of regulation, as well as when comedy reinforces normative behavior as a “corrective social function” (Henri Bergson). An analysis of these performances by women of diverse backgrounds offers valuable strategies for future feminist interventions in both pedagogy and performance studies.
