Female Masculinity At Work: Managing Stigma On The Job, Raine Dozier
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
In this study, the author interviewed 49 self-identified masculine women in the United States to examine how they negotiate stigma in the workplace.

Use Of Legally Compliant Ieps For Inclusive Programming, Keith J. Hyatt, Aaron B. Perzigian
Woodring Scholarship on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The purpose of this article is to review major components of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) from the perspective that the IEP process serves to facilitate inclusive opportunities for students with disabilities. The IEP is a legally binding contractual agreement between a school district and a family, thus it is imperative for the process to be procedurally compliant and completed in a substantively meaningful manner consistent with the six key foundational principles of special education law (Turnbull, Stowe, & Huerta, 2007). An IEP is one of the foundational principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004, …

In terms of enrollment distribution, urban school districts are increasingly offering nontraditional school placement options for students presenting academic and behavioral difficulty or for students seeking specific curricular emphasis or pedagogy, including—but not limited to—use of school choice voucher programs. In this study, we examined student distribution across school types in one large urban district to investigate enrollment patterns with regard to gender, race, socioeconomic status, …
