Untangling Gender Divides Through Girly And Gendered Visual Culture, Alice Lai, Yichien Cooper Jun 2016

Untangling Gender Divides Through Girly And Gendered Visual Culture, Alice Lai, Yichien Cooper

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The rise of girly culture has brought new dimensions and challenges to art education. As art educators, we are concerned about what we can do to meaningfully understand and educate children—girls and boys—growing up with girly culture. To this end, this paper presents our exploratory study, utilizing the methods of literature review, focus group discussion, and classroom observation, and findings on the following: (1) discourses of girly (visual) culture specifically related to age metaphor, visual representations of sexuality, and girly aesthetics; (2) postfeminist conceptualizations, critiques, and justifications of gender divides manifested through girly visual culture; (3) preadolescent children’s perceptions of …


The Ceiling Is The Sky: Affective Constructs, Event, And Community In The Marginal Spaces Of Art Education, Kristopher J. Holland, Nandita Baxi Sheth Jun 2016

The Ceiling Is The Sky: Affective Constructs, Event, And Community In The Marginal Spaces Of Art Education, Kristopher J. Holland, Nandita Baxi Sheth

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

This article sketches philosophical concepts of affect and event within the canvas of lived experience in a university art education teacher preparation course. We claim that by embracing architectural and metaphorically marginal spaces the course manifested transformative experiences for students, instructors, and community. We position and celebrate the often marginalized spaces of art education as potential sites of becoming through curricular rich environments and as thresholds of event for the educator of art within the community at large. Specifically, we describe the deconstructed space of the “classroom,” the curricular arc of learning, and the occurrence of an unplanned, emergent, student …


The Other White Cube Project: Finding Museums Among Us, Stuart Robinson Jun 2016

The Other White Cube Project: Finding Museums Among Us, Stuart Robinson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Content and context intersect to produce works of art, and visitors must have an awareness of both halves to be truly informed, engaged, and included. In 2013, I created the Other White Cube Project (OWCP) to deterritorialize curatorial practices and search for ways to disrupt divisions found in art museums—content/context, curator/viewer, cultural/personal. For the study, I concentrated on three constructivist keys to learning in museums—comfort, relevance, and intelligibility—and the project proceeded from the following premise: if visitors knew about curatorial strategies (comfort) and performed and personalized them (relevance), art museums would be more engaging, transparent, and comprehensible (intelligibility). For the …

Family Dynamics And Personal Strengths Among Dementia Caregivers In Argentina, Aaliah G. Elnasseh, Michael A. Trujillo, Silvina Victoria Peralta, Miriam E. Stolfi, Eliana Morelli, Paul B. Perrin, Juan Carlos Arango-Lasprilla Jan 2016

Family Dynamics And Personal Strengths Among Dementia Caregivers In Argentina, Aaliah G. Elnasseh, Michael A. Trujillo, Silvina Victoria Peralta, Miriam E. Stolfi, Eliana Morelli, Paul B. Perrin, Juan Carlos Arango-Lasprilla

Psychology Publications

This study examined whether healthier family dynamics were associated with higher personal strengths of resilience, sense of coherence, and optimism among dementia caregivers in Argentina. Caregivers are usually required to assist individuals with dementia, and family members have typically fulfilled that role. Personal strengths such as resilience, sense of coherence, and optimism have been shown to protect caregivers from some of the negative experiences of providing care, though the family-related variables associated with these personal strengths are largely unknown. Hierarchical multiple regressions investigated the extent to which family dynamics variables are associated with each of the caregiver personal strengths after …

OBJECTIVE: This article applies positive psychology principles to the purpose and objectives of a five-year, federally-funded initiative to provide cognitive support technology (CST) training and career preparatory services for undergraduate college students with mild and moderate traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

METHODS: A total of 48 students with TBI have participated in the project during its first 18 months of operation - 14 of whom are military veterans with disabilities who were in the Iraq and/or Afghanistan theaters.

CONCLUSION: Positive psychology interventions such as Best Possible Self, Intensely Positive Experiences, and Asset-based Assessments provide a framework for examining the activities of …


Grunt Variation In The Oyster Toadfish Opsanus Tau: Effect Of Size And Sex, Michael L. Fine, Tyler D. Waybright Jan 2016

Grunt Variation In The Oyster Toadfish Opsanus Tau: Effect Of Size And Sex, Michael L. Fine, Tyler D. Waybright

Biology Publications

As in insects, frogs and birds, vocal activity in fishes tends to be more developed in males than in females, and sonic swimbladder muscles may be sexually dimorphic, i.e., either larger in males or present only in males. Male oyster toadfish Opsanus tau L produce a long duration, tonal boatwhistle advertisement call, and both sexes grunt, a short duration more pulsatile agonistic call. Sonic muscles are present in both sexes but larger in males. We tested the hypothesis that males would call more than females by inducing grunts in toadfish of various sizes held in a net and determined incidence …
