"She Had Never Humbled Herself" Alexandra Bergson And Marie Shabata As The "Real" Pioneers Of O Pioneers!,/I>, Douglas W. Werden

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Willa Cather's O Pioneers! (1913) has traditionally been read within the twin contexts of Cather's pioneering childhood and her nostalgic reminiscences that glorify the lives of prairie settlers. These critics interpreted the novel in light of Walt Whitman's poem of the same name in Leaves of Grass, which celebrates the conquering American pioneer who "civilizes" the land for production.¹ More recent critics have contextualized it within her family history, agricultural history, domestic plots, American migration, and women leaving the home.² However, if we consider O Pioneers! in relation to the gender role redefinitions of Cather's adult life, …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - The Parenting Of Men Who Batter, Lundy Bancroft

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

The published research on children’s exposure to domestic violence focuses largely on two aspects of their experience: the trauma of witnessing physical assaults against their mother, and the tension produced by living with a high level of conflict between their parents. As important as these factors are, they reflect only one aspect of many complex problems that typically pervade the children’s daily lives. The bulk of these difficulties have their roots in the fact that the children are living with a batterer present in their home. The parenting characteristics commonly observed in batterers have implications for the children’s emotional and …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Making A Difference: Tools To Help Judges Support The Healing Of Children Exposed To Domestic Violence, Lavita Nadkarni, Barbara Zeek Shaw

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

Domestic violence has emerged from the privacy of one’s own home, where only the victims were aware of the abuse, to more public domains, where one can witness the impact of such abuse on society through our court system. Judges, in both the civil and criminal arenas, exercise considerable power in instituting a wide range of possible dispositions in cases involving domestic violence. The Family Violence Prevention Fund’s National Judicial Education Advisory Committee concluded that judges made the most significant decisions affecting the lives of victims, abusers, and their children. Judges can also play a significant role in shaping society’s …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Screening For Domestic Violence: Meeting The Challenge Of Identifying Domestic Relations Cases Involving Domestic Violence And Developing Strategies For Those Cases, Julie Kunce Field

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

Domestic abuse is common. It includes emotional and psychological abuse as well as physical assaults. Children are harmed by it, even if they are not the direct victims of the physical violence.
Because domestic abuse is so prevalent and its effects are so far-reaching, court personnel must educate themselves to understand domestic violence and determine strategies for handling cases where it is present. Even if domestic violence is present but does not seem to have a direct impact on the case at hand, one should be aware of the power and control dynamics of domestic abuse to provide effective intervention …
