Microlevel Fragility Of The African American Lgbt Community In North Carolina After House Bill 2, William Flozell Clements
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Social marginalization and isolation of target populations are growing areas of concern for policy administrators.

The theoretical framework for this study was Tajfel and Turner's theory of social identity. Research questions included significant differences between developed shelter policies and environments based …
