Two Perspectives On Organizationally-Inspired Barriers To Innovation In Schools Of Social Work: Short And Long Term Strategies To Promote National Minority Group Representation, R. Louis Mcneely, John Oliver

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

While these principles are not peculiar to schools of social work, these schools are singled out along with two related problems identified often by persons employed in these schools as ones for which few effective innovations have been implemented. These problems center upon how these schools may best achieve an adequate representation among faculty members, of minority group staff, and an adequate representation of substantive course offerings focusing upon the experiences of national minority group members.

Masters Theses

This is a study of the utilization of community mental health services by the Chicano population in a Western Michigan community.

The inherent cultural vehicles, which Chicano culture uses in order to deal with the stresses associated with these social pathologies, will be explored. …

The Vanishing Sociology-Social Work Alliance: A Study In The Politics Of Professionalism, David G. Bromley, Frank J. Weed

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The undergraduate sociology-social work alliance in sociology departments has a long tradition in American colleges despite ideological differences between the two disciplines. Recently this old alliance shows signs of disintegration. This paper argues that the recent emphasis on professionalization of undergraduate social work through the use of accrediting standards coupled with the control of Federal social work training grants have placed new pressures on the old alliance. Evidence is presented which indicates that the conflict is being resolved in the direction of greater administrative specialization and autonomy for social work.

Equal Employment Opportunity And Affirmative Action In Humboldt County Federal Contracting Private Sector Industries, Peter J. C. Veenhuyzen

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

In the field of Sociology, studies are continually initiated to ascertain basic social processes integral to an area under research. As these processes are isolated and identified, their function can be understood and related to a larger social spectrum. In the field of personnel management, the predominant quest has been to screen applicants for their desirability as future employees. Some of the criteria used are: 1) amount of experience in the area of the job opening; 2) quantity of formal education in the given area; 3) past job performance recommendations; 4) amount of previous job absenteeism; 5) ability to handle …

Close Encounters Of Three Kinds: The Writing Of Indian History, A Review Essay, Martin Zanger

Meyer, Director of American Studies at Mankato State University, confronts himself with that vexing question in the prefatory remarks to his survey of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara peoples from pre-European contact times through the 1970‘s. Although Meyer‘s book is a case study of specific Indian societies, a number of themes he emphasizes will be useful for teachers and students who are not specialists in Indian studies.
