Correlations Between Reading Achievement And Discipline Problems Among African-American Male Eighth Grade Students In The Little Rock School District, Deborah J. Price
Correlations Between Reading Achievement And Discipline Problems Among African-American Male Eighth Grade Students In The Little Rock School District, Deborah J. Price
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to add to the body of existing knowledge regarding the relationship between academic achievement and discipline problems found in schools today. The study undertook to determine if there is a correlation between the behavior of African-American male students and their academic achievement. Specifically, it examines their achievement in reading and whether or not these students have experienced serious discipline problems at school. The sample was limited to African-American male students who are in the eighth grade during the 2001-2002 school year. These students must have attended a middle school within the Little Rock School …
The Soul Of Scholarship: The Relationship Between Academic Achievement And Religious Orientation Of College -Bound High School Seniors, Karmen Petersen Williams
The Soul Of Scholarship: The Relationship Between Academic Achievement And Religious Orientation Of College -Bound High School Seniors, Karmen Petersen Williams
Theses and Dissertations
Previous research has suggested a relationship between religiousness and various aspects of physical and mental health; however, an examination of the relationship between religious orientation and academic achievement appears to be an under-explored area of empirical research. The present study investigated the relationship of academic achievement and religious orientation of college-bound high school seniors. The Intrinsic and Extrinsic subscales of Allport's (Allport & Ross, 1967) Religious Orientation Scale and the Quest subscale of Batson's (Batson & Ventis, 1982) Religious Life Inventory were interspersed into a 32-item Likert-style questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered in both large group and small group format …
Exploring Aspects Of Effectiveness Of The Department Chair In Metropolitan Universities, Kathy Cooper Trawick
Exploring Aspects Of Effectiveness Of The Department Chair In Metropolitan Universities, Kathy Cooper Trawick
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to explore the roles and competencies of the effective department chair based on the perceptions of faculty, chairs, and deans at three selected metropolitan universities. A brief look at 54 competencies and tasks taken from eight basic categories were rank-ordered by the participants. Data were obtained via electronic survey and an Internet web site at the researcher's home institution. Results were analyzed using Kendall's W Coefficient of Concordance to determine agreement among the groups in prioritizing the eight basic categories of department chair competencies. Results from the study of 130 total participants indicated there …
Reconciling African Customary Law And Human Rights In Kenya: Making A Case For Institutional Reformation And Revitalization Of Customary Adjudication Processes, Laurence Juma
St. Thomas Law Review
African Customary Law is the totality of norms comprised of what has variously been described as "native law," "native customary law," "primitive law," "folk law," "informal law," "non state law," "indigenous law" and even "tribal law." The nomenclature conceptualizes the perception of customary law as being inferior to other laws within a legal system.' It also affirms the distinctiveness with which African Customary Law has been regarded, while evaluating the response of African legal polities to normative developments in the international arena. This form of isolation of African Customary Law has obscured its dynamism, shackled its potential as a possible …
The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights And The Domestic Courts, Edward D. Re
The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights And The Domestic Courts, Edward D. Re
St. Thomas Law Review
As we approach the Fiftieth Anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the General Assembly of the United Nations, it is fitting to commemorate that historic event, and to assess the progress that has been made in achieving the fundamental principles of human rights and freedoms that it proclaims. Upon its adoption on December 10, 1948, it was hailed "as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and for all nations." High hopes were expressed that this Declaration would soon become a new Magna Carta of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all people …

Critical Creativity: On The Convergence Of Medium Education And Media Education, Michael J. Emme
Critical Creativity: On The Convergence Of Medium Education And Media Education, Michael J. Emme
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Days after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in the United States I heard an interview on the radio. The short exchange, with peace educator and activist Johan Galtung, not surprisingly in light of world events, focused on conflict resolution. While I was impressed by professor Galtung's commitment to peacemaking and his real experience serving as a mediator in world conflicts, what struck me most was the word he used to describe the key ingredient in conflict resolution. That word was 'creativity'. As an artist, art educator, academic and parent I suppose it makes sense that …
The Census As A Call To Action, David J. Barron, Gerald E. Frug
The Census As A Call To Action, David J. Barron, Gerald E. Frug
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article argues that we misinterpret the Census figures showing the continued growth of the suburbs and increase in populations of some cities and not others. While many, including a Harvard economist, contend that this is a purely a result of consumer preference, this article concludes that this pattern is more likely a result of legal rules promoting sprawl which have been unchanged for 50 years. The article states that this new census data should be a wake-up call for state law reform which will no longer constrain and define local government.

The Playing Ground Of Childhood: Boyhood Battles In Américo Paredes', George Washington Gómez, Keller Delores Ayers
The Playing Ground Of Childhood: Boyhood Battles In Américo Paredes', George Washington Gómez, Keller Delores Ayers
Ethnic Studies Review
Although playing is generally viewed as a childhood universal--an expected and somewhat innocuous part of children's lives--Chicano writers often particularize play's universality by constructing the diverse grounds of childhood play as sites that encapsulate conflicting subject positions. Among the Chicano texts in which playing shares this complexity as a critical locus for the child protagonist is Américo Paredes' George Washington Gómez. Paredes employs narratives of childhood play in a dialectical pattern that elucidates his protagonist's inner and outer conflicts and that also evokes Ramón Saldívar's theory of Chicano literature. While Guálinto Gomez's playworlds reflect both the violence and discrimination that …
Remembering Poland: The Ethics Of Cultural Histories, William Gorski
Remembering Poland: The Ethics Of Cultural Histories, William Gorski
Ethnic Studies Review
Art Spiegelman's Maus, Cynthia Ozick's The Shawl, and Eva Hoffman's Lost in Translation and Exit into History are recent American texts that draw upon cultural histories of Poland to launch their narratives. Each text confronts and reconstructs fragments of twentieth-century Poland at the interactive sites of collective culture and personal memory. By focusing on the contested relationship between Poles and Jews before, during, and after World War II, these texts dredge up the ghosts of centuries-long ethnic animosities. In the post-Cold War era, wherein Eastern Europe struggles to redefine itself, such texts have a formative influence in re-mapping the future …
[Review Of] Marilyn Halter, Shopping For Identity: The Marketing Of Ethnicity, Sarah Shillinger
[Review Of] Marilyn Halter, Shopping For Identity: The Marketing Of Ethnicity, Sarah Shillinger
Ethnic Studies Review
Marilyn Halter has written an informative book on the interaction between the marketplace and ethnic identity in the United States. Her book fills an important gap in ethnic studies literature. While research abounds on the role the marketplace has played in the Americanization of immigrants, few scholars have researched its role in the maintenance of ethnic identity.
[Review Of] Jane M. Gaines, Fire And Desire: Mixed-Race Movies In The Silent Era, George H. Junne Jr
[Review Of] Jane M. Gaines, Fire And Desire: Mixed-Race Movies In The Silent Era, George H. Junne Jr
Ethnic Studies Review
Jane M.Gaines has written an important book on the topic of race movies and race relations in early American cinema. Using eclectic analyses that range from W.E.B. DuBois' insights on "double consciousness," to queer theory, Gaines is able to critically examine issues of mixed race people and race mixing in silent films. She wonderfully reworks some theories until they yield beneficial interpretations. For example, Gaines argues against the blanket use of psychoanalysis as a tool to comprehend African American Experience, including cinema, because, she says, "Historically psychoanalysis had no cognizance of black people nor was any attempt made to understand …
[Review Of] E. San Juan, Jr., Racism And Cultural Studies: Critiques Of Multiculturalist Ideology And The Politics Of Difference, Joel Wendland
[Review Of] E. San Juan, Jr., Racism And Cultural Studies: Critiques Of Multiculturalist Ideology And The Politics Of Difference, Joel Wendland
Ethnic Studies Review
Have academically fashionable cultural studies methodologies replaced mass social movements as political activity? This question is raised in E. San Juan, Jr.'s most recent study, Racism and Cultural Studies. Contemporary postmodern and postcolonial intellectual movements, because they valorize individualized discourses and relativist pluralism, have indeed "displaced the centrality of mass social movements" in the project of group liberation in San Juan's judgment.
Ethnicity And Unemployment In Finland, Jan Saarela, Fjalar Finnäs
Ethnicity And Unemployment In Finland, Jan Saarela, Fjalar Finnäs
Ethnic Studies Review
This research note provides the general findings from a research project analyzing the reasons behind the lower unemployment rate of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, compared with the Finnish-speaking majority. The main conclusion is that the unemployment gap cannot be attributed to ethnic-group differences in age, education, place of residence, or industrial structure. We believe that two latent factors are highly relevant in this context: language proficiency and social integration, although no data presently available provides information about such issues.
U.S. Plant Variety Protection: Sound And Fury...?, Mark D. Janis, Jay P. Kesan
U.S. Plant Variety Protection: Sound And Fury...?, Mark D. Janis, Jay P. Kesan
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This Article offers a critical reassessment of U.S. approaches to intellectual property protection for plant innovation. Three developments make this reassessment timely. First, the Supreme Court has finally confirmed that utility patent claims to plants and seeds satisfy the 35 U.S.C. Section 101 subject matter eligibility requirement. Plant innovation in the United States is now subject to utility patent protection, as well as concurrent protection under the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA). However, little work has been done to explain the role of PVPA protection in a system of concurrent protection, or to develop a coherent policy vision within which …
