Saving Marriage One Relationship At A Time: Culture, Family, And Social Change In Christian Premarital Counseling, Courtney Ann Irby
Saving Marriage One Relationship At A Time: Culture, Family, And Social Change In Christian Premarital Counseling, Courtney Ann Irby
Dissertations
Despite concerns about the decline of marriage in the United States, research has consistently revealed that getting married and staying married remain important to Americans. The value attached to marriage, however, is coupled with an ethic of individualism that results in a focus on personal satisfaction and fulfillment in marriage. While this individualized marriage has been established at both the macro level as part of an American marriage culture and at the micro level in the preferences and actions of individuals, less attention has focused on how communities mediate, respond, and react to these beliefs. I draw from a comparative …
Emature: Intergenerational Networks In Digital Media Spaces, Andras Lukacs
Emature: Intergenerational Networks In Digital Media Spaces, Andras Lukacs
Dissertations
While the literature on adolescent usage of the Internet and mobile communication technology is burgeoning, the technological affordance of increased intergenerational contacts and intergenerational friendships received less attention. This project documents how intergenerational virtual networks operate in one particular massively multiplayer online game (World of Warcraft) from the standpoint of adolescent players. Online social worlds are similar to offline settings in a lot of ways. Users must obey certain behavioral standards and follow established rules and moral codes to participate. Despite accounts of online democracy and networked individualism, control and authority is central to the functioning of these environments. Power-relationships …

The Chilean Student Movement: A Family Matter. The Intimate And Conflicting Construction Of Revolution In A Post Dictatorial Country, Leslie Parraguez Sanchez
Dissertations
In 2011, thousands of students filled the main streets and occupied most educational establishments of Chile to demand a profound transformation of the educational system – one of the main reforms of Pinochet’s government. Like students in many other countries, the Chilean Student Movement has been struggling against the pervasive effects of neoliberalism on the higher educational system, aiming to recover the public sense of education. Students from all over the country began to organize to struggle against profits in the higher education system. In doing so, students denied the very core of the neoliberal economic system and deeply (re)politicized …
No Taxation Without Discrimination: The Racial Politics Of American Property Taxes, Kasey Henricks
No Taxation Without Discrimination: The Racial Politics Of American Property Taxes, Kasey Henricks
Dissertations
No longer is it acceptable to rationalize racial hierarchy in explicit terms. Today’s ideology substitutes these explanations for cultural ones that diminish racial oppression. Though recent studies uncover the slippery, covert, and seemingly nonracial discourse of colorblindness, claims of ideological progression are offered without empirical verification. Examining debate surrounding the three-fifths clause of the U.S Constitution, I complete a “historical ethnographic content analysis” that transplants colorblind ideology into historical soil some presume it does not belong. The data derive from “A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation” and consist of 1,493 pages of congressional record. My findings reveal how …
Changing Medical Education: Early Efforts To Integrate Women's Health Into Education And Training, Mary Katherine Rojek
Changing Medical Education: Early Efforts To Integrate Women's Health Into Education And Training, Mary Katherine Rojek
Dissertations
This is an historical study about the development of women’s health curricula in medical education across the U.S. between 1983 and 2004, a period of a great deal of innovation. At that time, some physicians, medical educators, policy makers, and government officials became aware that most U.S. medical school curricula did not address women’s health in a comprehensive manner and did not attend to many problems that were the primary causes of mortality and morbidity in women. In addition, medical research and medical education were based on a normative male model. Studies of medical education indicate that medical schools are …
