Women’S Work: Labor Market Outcomes And Female Entrepreneurship In Ghana, Loretta Agyemang
Women’S Work: Labor Market Outcomes And Female Entrepreneurship In Ghana, Loretta Agyemang
Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research
This paper is an investigation of female entrepreneurship in Ghana. It seeks to answer the following question: Why are Ghanaian women so heavily concentrated in microenterprise in the informal economy? The literature review explores labor market trends for women on three different scales including an overview of developing countries, Sub-Saharan Africa regional, and Ghana-specific analysis. After exploring issues women face in formal employment, the study delves into business operations of informal, urban-based market participants by analyzing data pertaining to Ghanaian microenterprise. Additionally, the paper details the experiences and views of female entrepreneurs through in-depth interviews and participant observations with thirty …
Lost In Translation, Dania Saltagi
Lost In Translation, Dania Saltagi
BU Well
As the United States becomes more diverse in its immigrant population, it is also increasing in the number of people with limited English proficiency. Many of these individuals seek medical care, but are often met with challenges due to linguistic discrepancies. I use my experience as an Arabic interpreter, as well as my grandmother's experience as a nonfluent patient in America's healthcare system, to discuss the importance of evaluating how language barriers can have an effect on the quality of healthcare for these patients.
Understanding The Personalistic Aspects Of Jola Ethnomedicine, Theo Randall
Understanding The Personalistic Aspects Of Jola Ethnomedicine, Theo Randall
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
This paper discusses the contemporary expression of the personalistic aspects of Jola ethnomedicine. Ethnomedicine pertains to the culturally specific health- associated beliefs and behaviors of a society. Personalistic pertains to medical beliefs and practices that associate disease with direct or intentional factors of a social and supernatural origin. The inherent personalistic aspects of contemporary Jola ethnomedicine are heavily associated with the contemporary religious beliefs and practices of the Jola. In the Gambia, Jola religious beliefs and practices reflect a synthesis of traditional Jola religion and Islam. Contemporary Jola religious beliefs and practices manifest themselves in contemporary Jola ethnomedical beliefs and …

Toward A Holistic, Intercultural, And Polyphonic Perspective On Health Care: A Brief Prologue To The Paper Titled “Understanding The Personalistic Aspects Of Jola Ethnomedicine.”, Fernando Paulo Baptista
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
As a prologue to the paper titled “Understanding the Personalistic Aspects of Jola Ethnomedicine,” the present essay provides a brief anthropologico-philosophical reflection, starting with classic Roman philosopher Seneca and his dictum that “each passing day we die,” and continuing on to the profound existential questions pondered by more contemporary thinkers, including Heidegger and Levinas, about life, death, being, time, totality, and infinity. These agonically deep questions are intimately related to the universal human angst about health, illness, and death and the seeking of a restoration to a functional corporal and mental harmony and well-being through various means and methods, whether …
Culture And Politics: The Relationship Between The Modernist Intellectuals And The Brazilian State (1920–1950), Bruno Gontyjo Do Couto
Culture And Politics: The Relationship Between The Modernist Intellectuals And The Brazilian State (1920–1950), Bruno Gontyjo Do Couto
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
This paper attempts to comprehend the existent connections between culture and politics in the development of modern nation-states. My reflection is based on a long-term analysis of the relations between intellectuals and political elites during the period of state building and nation building in Brazil (1822–1970). In this article, I intend to analyze specifically the period from 1920 to 1950, trying to understand the significance of the Brazilian intellectual movement designated as modernism and its influences over the cultural and political scenario. My hypothesis is that the cultural ideals of the modernist intellectuals were directly linked to political issues of …

Navigating Behind The Shadows Of Steel: The Convergence And Divergence Of Identity And Language Among Latino Youth In Northwest Indiana, Scooter Pégram
Navigating Behind The Shadows Of Steel: The Convergence And Divergence Of Identity And Language Among Latino Youth In Northwest Indiana, Scooter Pégram
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
The region of Northwest Indiana is home to many thousands of Latinos, and this dynamic group has a long history in the area. As a group, issues relating to Latinos are well researched; however, primary investigations involving youth from the community are few. Influenced by the surrounding host and heritage cultures, young Latinos find themselves in a unique yet conflicting position as they navigate the parameters of both of these paradigms. This paper examines identity and language use amongst young Latinos in Northwest Indiana, and data are presented from a sociolinguistic intervention undertaken with 310 young Latinos from this region. …
National And International Indices Of Well-Being: A Critical Analysis, Donna Mclean
National And International Indices Of Well-Being: A Critical Analysis, Donna Mclean
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
Over the past decade, increasing effort has been made to develop both national and global indices of well-being. Much like earlier sustainability indices directed at questions of economics and environment, well-being metrics seek to chart the quality of life of citizens in order to (1) support administrative decision making and policy formation, (2) encourage consensus building and public participation in defining what’s important, (3) educate and advocate, and (4) facilitate research through data collection and analysis. This paper explores a number of indices of well-being, including the Canadian Index of Well-being, the OECD Your Better Life Index, and the Happy …
Cultural Diversity In The United States And Its Impact On Human Development, Jason Vanalstine, Steven R. Cox, Dianne M. Roden
Cultural Diversity In The United States And Its Impact On Human Development, Jason Vanalstine, Steven R. Cox, Dianne M. Roden
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
Previous studies have yielded mixed results on the impact of cultural diversity on economic performance. We find a positive relationship in the United States between cultural diversity and a comprehensive measure of human development that incorporates health, education, and income. We also disaggregate cultural diversity into three components including ethnicity, language, and religion. We find a positive relationship between human development and both religious and language diversity, and a negative relationship with ethnic diversity. These relationships are robust, using several alternative mathematical measures of diversity. Our results are consistent with diversity generating benefits from exposure to a variety of experiences, …
Stalking The Lesson, Ministering The Family: Critical Interventions Of African American–American Indian Family History, Sakina Mariam Hughes
Stalking The Lesson, Ministering The Family: Critical Interventions Of African American–American Indian Family History, Sakina Mariam Hughes
Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences
In 1900, Eva Shawnee, a Creek girl, enrolled in Hampton Normal and Agriculture Institute. Hampton aimed to uplift the black race through academics, industrial trades, and manual training. It opened its doors to Native Americans between 1878 and 1923; however, when Eva’s youngest siblings enrolled at Hampton, they registered as Negro. Traditional perspectives in American history, because of institutionalized racial hierarchies inside and outside the academy, provide challenges to the types of interdisciplinary scholarship that may address families like the Shawnees. Utilizing but transcending the academic sphere, this article encourages dialogue between marginalized groups and argues that they have more …

It's All Low-Hanging Fruit On Steroids: Many More Mixed And Mashed Metaphors, Don Hauptman
Word Ways
A Mixed metaphor is a phrase in which two or more figures of speech are contradictory, ludicrous, or impossible when visualized as if they were literal. In some cases, the tropes don't meet this definition but still clash awkwardly or create a string of eye-rolling clichés. I've dubbed this latter phenomenon a mashed metaphor.
