Faculty Diversity, Kyle Scafide, Barbara Johnson

Kyle Scafide

This article presents a broad view of issues related to faculty diversity. Headings include Demographics, The Growth of Faculty Diversity as an Ideal, and Barriers in the Academic Workplace. Race, ethnicity, and gender are the most common characteristics that institutions observe in order to measure faculty diversity. An even broader approach to faculty diversity involves age, socioeconomic background, national origin, sexual orientation, and diverse learning styles and opinions. Until the latter part of the twentieth century, the professoriate in the western world was composed almost exclusively of privileged, heterosexual males of Caucasian descent. Higher education institutions are generally concerned with …

The Question Of Quality And Qualifications: Writing Inferior Poems As Qualitative Research, Jane Piirto

Jane Piirto

Alternative forms of data representation have been widely recommended, including the writing of poems as educational research. The arts have their own ways. What qualifications do arts-based researchers need to have? How does one judge the quality of the product? Using part of a novel and three of her own poems as illustrations, the author, a qualitative researcher and literary writer, conjectures about the notion of quality and qualification in the use of art forms as qualitative research.

The Research Subject As Wage Earner, James Anderson, Charles Weijer

Charles Weijer

The practice of paying research subjects for participating in clinical trials has yet to receive an adequate moral analysis. Dickert and Grady argue for a wage payment model in which research subjects are paid an hourly wage based on that of unskilled laborers. If we accept this approach, what follows? Norms for just working conditions emerge from workplace legislation and political theory. All workers, including paid research subjects under Dickert and Grady's analysis, have a right to at least minimum wage, a standard work week, extra pay for overtime hours, a safe workplace, no fault compensation for work-related injury, and …

Hope From Hopelessness: Finding Contemporary Southern Literature Through Anne Tyler’S Use Of The Sound And The Fury, Amy M. Elliott

Amy M. Elliott

Critical debate focuses on the trend of Southern writers and the classification of their work within the tradition of Southern literature. One side of the argument supports contemporary writers as part of the Southern literary tradition. That is, it proposes that contemporary Southern writers continue to write Southern literature not by writing with the same style and magnitude as Faulkner and Warren, but by basing their writing on this tradition and modernizing it. An excellent example lies in Anne Tyler’s use of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury as a foundation for her Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Through …

The Shriners, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

This interview i gave to the Vancouver Sun bring up some of the controversies surrounding the Shriner, a Masonic organization that is widely known for its hospitals for children and its sponsorship of circuses and parades. Although I "walked the hot sands", i.e. am a Shriner, I cannot say oi have been enthusiastic about some of its nuances. The article perhaps reflects that.

Freemasonry And Phi Beta Kappa, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

In Washington my offices actually permit a glimpse of the offices of Phi Beta Kappa across the street. i would have to climb on the roof to see one of the Masonic temples in the city, but they are also close. So too both the Greek honor societies and Greek social fraternities are linked historically with Freemasonry, a connection little understood and little explored, and which this article helps to explain.

Adverse Juvenile Sex Ratio In Kerala By Vibhuti Patel, Professor Vibhuti Patel

Professor Vibhuti Patel

Census 2001 has revealed a deterioration in the juvenile malefemale sex ratio in Kerala. Hospital birth records can help establish sex ratios at birth and thus the prevalence of female foeticide. However, civil society and the state will need to pitch in to check the misuse of technology for female foeticide in Kerala

State Repression: Behind The Mask Of Democracy ..., Ashok Agrwaal

Ashok Agrwaal

There has never been a satisfactory solution to the problem of handling / controlling political power, albeit the liberal claim that theirs is the best of the possible solutions known to human history. Notwithstanding the rhetoric justifying the creation and evolution of the modern nation-state, which focuses on its potential – through the ‘Rule of Law’ – to be more just and egalitarian than any other system of organised political power, there is overwhelming empirical evidence to show that things have not changed very much. States continue to repress their citizens in all manner of ways. The difference being that, …

Conjoined Twins And Catholic Moral Analysis: Extraordinary Means And Casuistical Consistency, M. Cathleen Kaveny

M. Cathleen Kaveny

This article draws upon the Roman Catholic distinction between “ordinary” and “extraordinary” means of medical treatment to analyze the case of “Jodie” and “Mary,” the Maltese conjoined twins whose surgical separation was ordered by the English courts over the objection of their Roman Catholic parents and Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the Roman Catholic Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. It attempts to shed light on the use of that distinction by surrogate decision makers with respect to incompetent patients. In addition, it critically analyzes various components of the distinction by comparing the reasoning used by Catholic moralists in this case with the reasoning used …

Lessons From Everyday Lives: A Moral Justification For Acute Care Research, Andrew Mcrae, Charles Weijer

Charles Weijer

Progress in emergency and critical care requires that clinical research be performed on patients who are incapable of granting consent for research participation. Analyses of the ethics of such research have left some questions incompletely answered. Why should we be permitted to expose vulnerable patients to research risks without their consent? In particular, how do we justify research interventions that have no potential benefit for participants (nontherapeutic interventions)? This article presents a moral justification for nontherapeutic interventions in emergency research. By relying on a framework for assessing research risks, and by drawing on the example of pediatric research, this justification …

Gifts For The Soul: A Guided Journey Of Discovery, Transformation, And Infinite Possibilities (Book Author, Dawn E. Clark; Book Reviewer, Carroy Ferguson)), Carroy U. Ferguson

Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.

Dawn E. Clark's Gifts for the Soul is an intriguing self-help book, full of promise and hope for a new way to engage in self-healing and what the author calls soul healing through soul retrieval work. According to the author, the ancient healing tradition of soul retrieval to heal soul loss has been documented by many cultural anthropologists. The tradition apparently has been traced to a belief in the ancient concept of soul loss, embraced by many civilizations and diverse cultures in North America, Australia, Asia, South America and the shaman tradition as far back as 10,000 years ago. Soul …

Social Change And Freemasonry: The Scottish Rite's Primacy Rite, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

The rural or urban setting helped to determine the Masonic rite which grew and prospered in the area, and this is illustrated with the growth of American cities. Jane Jacobs can be related to the Scottish Rite, surprising as the notion seems.
