Creating Forever Hungry: Finding (And Preserving) Meaningful Experience Through Multiple Voices, Laura Sohl-Cryer

Iowa Journal of Communication

This paper provides a description of the process of conducting an ethnographic and autoethnographic analysis of narratives expressed by four women struggling with eating disorders. It includes an explanation of how scripting these stories into a performance entitled Forever Hungry provided an effective means of narrative analysis. This ongoing interpretation of the narratives, which emerged as I wrote the script, directed the rehearsals, watched the performances, and received audience members' reactions, was very useful in creating meaning from the stories that were shared, especially when combined with a more traditional analysis. This paper also expresses the importance of allowing the …

Demonstrating Collegiality: A Co-Constructed Narrative Inquiry, Elizabeth A. Curry, Deborah C. Walker

Iowa Journal of Communication

This essay seeks to define a collegial relationship through the experiences of two first year doctoral students at a large state-supported university. The techniques used to develop the co-constructed narrative parallel the authors' development of a collaborative relationship. Using autoethnographic essays and interactive interviews, the authors co-construct several narratives that describe the process of moving from a friendly, social relationship to a scholarly, collaborative relationship, as well as the process of moving from peer reviewers to co-authors. An introductory narrative frames the paper; each of the "interior" narratives is accompanied by an extensive analytic introduction and the interpretation section is …

The Written Text As Identity Dress Rehearsal, Leah E. White

Iowa Journal of Communication

Using data gathered through participant observation and interviewing, this paper discusses the narrative performances of identity presented when one verbally discusses their written work. Three categories of narratives are presented: narratives that identify autobiographical elements; narratives that relate shared experiences and; narratives that describe the writing process. Several identity constructing functions of each of these narratives are presented. The paper ends with a discussion of how written communication may be viewed as a dress rehearsal for an upcoming verbal performance of identity.

Cybermedicine: Mainstream Medicine By 2020/Crossing Boundaries, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 557 (2001), Kim Solez, Sheila Moriber Katz

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Cybermedicine, or “the discipline of applying the Internet to medicine,” is rapidly becoming more and more mainstream, and it will ultimately transform medicine completely. Cybermedicine uses “global networking to educate, innovate and communicate in ways that promote medical practice, commerce, scholarship, and empowerment.” Cybermedicine is taking place all over the world and in all walks of life. Currently, Web and e-mail based programs connect doctors to patients, doctors to doctors, and patients to patients with numerous beneficial results. E-mail is particularly important today because not everyone has access to high-speed Internet connections. The impending improvements in technology and the possibilities …

Cybermedicine: How Computing Empowers Doctors And Patients For Better Health Care, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 589 (2001), William B. Powers

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In Cybermedicine: How Computing Empowers Doctors and Patients for Better Health Care, Dr. Warner V. Slack takes the reader on an interesting journey from the advent of experimental computer usage in the early 1960s, to comprehensive, hospital-wide computing systems in the 1980s, and into the future. As a professor of medicine and psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and co-president of the Center for Clinical Computing and co-director of the Division for Clinical Computing at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dr. Slack, who has been involved with computers in medicine for some thirty-five years, demonstrates how the use of computers can …

Whose Genetic Information Is It Anyway? A Legal Analysis Of The Effects That Mapping The Human Genome Will Have On Privacy Rights And Genetic Discrimination, 19 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 609 (2001), Deborah L. Mclochlin

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

"There is no information more personal and private than one's genetic information" – one's DNA. Under the Human Genome Project, mapping of the human genetic code is under way. From this mapping of genetic code, information such as the likelihood of developing cancer, diabetes, etc. would certainly become available. Although this information may be helpful to one's health providers, companies and governments may begin to use this information to discriminate individuals based on their genetic predispositions. This article focuses on the current federal legislation while proposing a new federal legislation in light of this great genetic endeavor. Legislation "has always …

Sex Role Identity And Relationship Factors As Correlates Of Abusive Behavior In Lesbian Relationships, Grace A. Telesco

CAHSS Faculty Theses and Dissertations

The recognition of partner abuse between lesbian intimates has gained attention in the literature only within the last few decades. The current research indicates that physical and psychological abuse is occurring between lesbian partners at about the same rate as their heterosexual counterparts. The theoretical explanations for lesbian partner abuse share similarities with the heterosexual paradigm. However, significant differences in gender make-up and the patriarchal issues of power and control do not fit within the lesbian framework and the unique issues of attachment in lesbian relationships and the issue of homophobia are cause for another perspective.

This study shifts the …

Anorexia Nervosa : A Psychological Perspective Of Etiology And Current Treatment Procedures, Arlene Lagary

Graduate Research Papers

Anorexia nervosa is a chronic and sometimes fatal illness characterized by physical and psychological complications. Although no etiology for this illness has been determined, this paper presents a psychological etiology based on a synthesis of both traditional and current literature. The influence of culture, the therapeutic alliance, and client resistance are also considered. Relapse is common and the illness may last for many years. The health care community has addressed the complexity and chronicity of this illness by using a multi-component approach that includes psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic interventions, family therapy, and psychopharmacology.

Private Or Public Approaches To Insuring The Uninsured: Lessons From International Experience With Private Insurance, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost

Scholarly Articles

In the recent past a broad consensus has emerged in the United States that the best way to expand coverage of the uninsured is to use tax subsidies to encourage the purchase of private health insurance policies. Many advocates of this approach also call for replacing employment-related group policies with individual policies, and for minimizing regulation of private insurance. Those who advocate these policies, however, have rarely considered the experience that other nations have had with private health insurance.

In fact most other countries have private insurance markets, and in many countries private insurance plays a significant role in financing …

Reconsidering The Abuse That Dare Not Speak Its Name: A Criticism Of Recent Legal Scholarship Regarding Same-Gender Domestic Violence, Ryiah Lilith

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

This article argues that while recent legal scholarship effectively disputes the applicability of a gendered model of domestic violence to same-gender abuse, it goes too far in embracing a completely gender-neutral model. Part I explains the theoretical problems with the non-gendered model of domestic violence by examining in detail the research which is most often cited in legal writings in support of this model. Part II briefly explores the pragmatic implications for lesbian and gay male victims of domestic violence when law enforcement policies such as mandatory arrest are based on a model of domestic violence which ignores contexts such …

What Difference Has Feminism Made To Engineering In The 20th Century?, Pam Mack

Publications

Until the last quarter of the twentieth century women have been very scarce in engineering, so the impact of feminism on engineering might seem like a topic with a very short history. However, somewhat broader definitions of feminism and of engineering bring to light very significant influences of the women’s reform movement of the first half of the twentieth century on industrial and municipal engineering. I first conceptualized this influence as women pushing for regulation that in turn transformed engineering. But as I went deeper into the material I discovered a tremendous amount of travel over the line between reformer …

Imagined States, Luisa Del Giudice, Gerald Porter

All USU Press Publications

An international ensemble of folklore scholars looks at varied ways in which national and ethnic groups have traditionally and creatively used imagined states of existence-some idealizations, some demonizations-in the construction of identities for themselves and for others. Drawing on oral traditions, especially as represented in traditional ballads, broadsides, and tale collections, the contributors consider fertile landscapes of the mind where utopias overflow with bliss and abundance, stereotyped national and ethnic caricatures define the lives of "others," nostalgia glorifies home and occupation, and idealized and mythological animals serve as cultural icons and guideposts to harmonious social life.

Personal Effects: The Social Character Of Scholarly Writing, Deborah H. Holdstein, David Bleich

All USU Press Publications

In Personal Effects, Holdstein and Bleich compile a volume that cuts across the grain of current orthodoxy. These editors and contributors argue that it is fundamental in humanistic scholarship to take account of the personal and collective experiences of scholars, researchers, critics, and teachers. They contend that humanistic inquiry cannot develop successfully at this time without reference to the varieties of subjective, intersubjective, and collective experience of teachers and researchers. In composition studies, they point out, an important strand of theory has continuously mined the personal experience of individual writers ("where they stand" even in a destabilized sense of that …

Ultimate Inequality: Determinants Of Life Expectancies In Mountain States Counties, L. Dwight Israelsen, Ryan D. Israelsen, Karl E. Israelsen

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

Over the last five decades, life expectancy at birth in the United States and in the Mountain States has been increasing steadily for both males and females. Previous studies of mortality or life expectancy have looked at relatively small cohorts of people over time, or have looked at mortality or life expectancy at the national or state level. The larger-scale studies have usually concentrated on only one or a few of the determinants of life expectancy. The Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies recently published life expectancy tables for all U.S. counties for both males and females. Life expectancy …
