A Quantitative Approach And A Qualitative Approach Towards Intersectionality Among Individuals With Lgbtq+ Identities, Viet (Mason) Trinh

This is a two-parted project that integrates a quantitative approach and a qualitative approach toward the concept of intersectionality.

Empty Cribs: Infertility Challenges For Orthodox Jewish Couples, Itay Kohane
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
This dissertation discusses an issue that is of importance to many people throughout their lifetime—infertility.

But, going beyond these, the present study will demonstrate that other variables including stressors such as social factors, interpersonal dynamics, and personal judgment affect couples in a manner which indirectly reduces their chances of conceiving a child. This research will touch on a number …

Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses

However, services are often provided only to the victimized child, which overlooks the needs of the non-offending parents. The existing body of research into the stressors experienced by non-offending parents typically is focused on non-offending parents of …
