‘Maid In The Usa’: Immigrant Women, Domestic Labor And Double Alienation, Shadyar Omrani, Shadyar Omrani

Sociology Student Work Collection

In the past three decades, as the economy of the industrialized countries has moved towards the growing Tech industry, middle-class women have found more opportunities to fill in white-collared job positions (McDowell, 2009). The increase in the rate of women’s participation in the labor market has made them less willing to do (or capable of doing) the housework and child/elderly care _ the tasks which are historically stereotyped as feminine (ibid). Therefore, a considerably growing trend in paid domestic labor is being introduced to formerly blue-collared and dominantly immigrant women (England, P.: 2005). The tasks which are regarded as “labor …

The History Of Black Women In Society, La Toya A. Love

Sociology Student Work Collection

There was a time when black women were not considered human beings. They were animals, only good for labor and breeding. As time moved on, black women were stereotyped and still not seen as equal to their white counterparts. Now, black women are breaking down barriers and making history, showing that a black woman is not what society has negatively claimed, but worthy of much more appreciation and respect.

Secularism In The Arab World: Contexts, Ideas And Consequences, Aziz Al-Azmeh, David Bond

In Translation: Modern Muslim Thinkers

Explores secularism and secularisation in Arab societies since the mid-19th century.

This book is a translation of Aziz al-Azmeh’s seminal work Al-'Ilmaniya min mandhur mukhtalif that was first published in Beirut in 1992. Both celebrated and criticised for its reflections on Arab secularisation and secularism in the modern history of the Arab World, it is the only study to date to approach its subject as a set of historical changes which affected the regulation of the social, political and cultural order, and which permeated the concrete workings of society, rather than as an ideological discussion framed from the outset by …

Narrative Medicine: Perspectives On Opioid Maintenance, Noorin Damji

Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects

People who experience opioid addiction often feel marginalized by healthcare workers, or stigmatized by the medical system. Additionally, there are not enough medical providers to meet the needs of people who struggle with opioid addiction. These factors create barriers that prevent the medical establishment from effectively meeting the needs of people who experience addiction. This project compiles rich perspectives of patients on opioid maintenance treatment to share with medical students and providers to foster greater empathy for these patients, and positive attitudes toward managing substance use disorder among future medical providers.

嶺南校園 : 賞樹札記, 嶺南大學服務研習處

OSL Students' Service-Learning Project Output: Booklet

此書的由來，緣於「服務研習藝行大使小組」留意到嶺大校園的建築及樹木同樣具備觀賞價值，遂進行實地考察及資料搜集，設計了嶺大校園建築及樹木導賞路線，並得到嶺大服務研習處推薦，於2015-17年間為中文系「記遊書寫」課程設計及安排校園建築和樹木導賞活動，得到同學們非常正面的回應，之後更有同學參與小組，為校內同學及社區人士提供校園導賞服務。

2017年，「服務研習藝行大使小組」與嶺大服務研習處合作，在賽馬會「關愛．服務．研習@ 屯門」計劃的支持下，配合「記遊書寫」及「創意數碼影像」兩個不同學科的服務研習項目，將有關嶺大校園建築和樹木的導賞資料整理，編寫為《嶺南校園—建築遊賞》和《嶺南校園—賞樹札記》。

《嶺南校園—賞樹札記》介紹共三十二種樹木，其中二十九種在校園核心範圍內。小組將校園分成A至H八區，用實地拍攝的樹木照片作介紹，以提供準確的環境線索去追蹤樹木的位置。各個樹種的介紹內容包括︰學名、科屬、原產地、生長環境、習性、用途、形態特色及一些相關趣味知識，還有一組四句的「觀賞提要」，介紹各樹種獨特之處，「賞樹、識樹」一章則提供了辨認樹種的基本參考資料。
