Assimilation Versus Autonomy: Indigenous Education In Mexico, Gordon Lee Gent

Honors Theses

Indigenous education became prevalent in the ideology of the Mexican government after the Revolution on 1911. The leading school of thought about how to integrate Mexico’s indigenous population was led by anthropologists. Through indigenismo, the government adopted policies that would explore indigenous communities and promote them into the national identity. Bilingual education became one of the most important instruments of the movement under the direction of the Instituto Nacional Indigenista. I collected my data from a wealth of resources. One source of information the historical texts written on Mexican history. Anthropological texts also aided in the discussion of indigenous people …

A Prescription For Gender: How Medical Professionals Can Help Secure Equality For Transgender People, Jennifer L. Levi

Faculty Scholarship

Transgender people have made tremendous legal gains in the last several years. We live in a period of rapid social change, hopefully approaching a time when transgender individuals and our families enjoy the same legal rights and privileges afforded to other members of society. However, we are not there yet. This essay discusses the role medical professionals must play if transgender people are to achieve full humanity in light of legal developments in the areas of employment and family law. Medical professionals are at the heart of directing and implementing policies that have an enormous effect on the lives of …

A Professionally Cautious King And Queen: Institutional Agendas & Interactional Footings In Discourse About September 11th, Allison Christian

Iowa Journal of Communication

This paper analyzes a segment of institutional talk from a news interview between Larry King and Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan taken from "Larry King Live." The subject matter of the interview centers around the September 11th events and their impact on Americans' view of Islam. Utilizing Goffman's notions of 'footing' and 'impression management,' this paper examines how Queen Rania utilizes various identities, shifts in footing, and professional caution in the pursuit of a particular institutional agenda. This agenda can be seen as promoting a positive characterization for the Islamic religion. This analysis illustrates the way in which identities …

Caring Teachers: An Ethnography Of Effective Teacher Communication In And Out Of The College Classroom, Jason J. Teven

Iowa Journal of Communication

This ethnographic study investigated teachers' perspectives on caring and effective teaching both in and out of the college classroom. Students in a large mid-Atlantic University were asked to list instructors who they have had in either previous or present classes that they perceived to be the most "caring" and most "effective." Three university instructors were identified, observed in their respective classes, and interviewed with the purpose of exploring three broad categories relating to teacher effectiveness: (1) the definition of a "caring" teacher; (2) the definitions of "good" and "effective" teaching, and (3) how effective teachers motivate students. The findings of …

Empirical Inquiry Twenty-Five Years After The Lawyering Process, Stefan H. Krieger, Richard K. Neumann Jr.

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

One of the many ways in which The Lawyering Process was a pioneering book was its extensive reliance on empirical research about lawyers, lawyering, and activities analogous to some or another aspect of lawyering. To what extent has the clinical field accepted Gary Bellow and Bea Moulton's invitation to explore empirical studies generated outside legal education and perhaps engage in empirical work ourselves to understand lawyering more deeply? Although some clinicians have done good empirical work, our field as a whole has not really accepted Gary and Bea's invitation. This article explains empirical ways of thinking and working; discusses some …

Gendered Workers/Market Equality, Daniel J.H. Greenwood

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Decades of feminism have freed women from many longstanding gender roles-less so, however, men. Women now wear pants, but men still do not wear dresses. Mothers of young children overwhelmingly work outside of the home, but male housewives remain rare. Tomboys have achieved some acceptance, but boys are still expected to be boys. Actresses needn't be sultry to be sexy, but actors are still taller, stronger and more silent than their sexual partners-except for Woody Allen.

Perversely, the confluence of women's entry into the workplace with the death of social democracy resulted in recreating the American worker as a gendered, …

The Ideology Of The Body-Slam: A Critical Examination Of Professional Wrestling, Scott R. Stroud

Iowa Journal of Communication

"Professional" wrestling has experienced a recent surge in its popularity, both among the lower working class and among the upper middle class. Examining the World Wrestling Federation's televised event, ''Unforgiven-- In Your House," this inquiry finds that ideological issues of mythical framing, patriarchal power structures, group construction of identity, and stereotyping of bureaucracy/white-collar working groups are found within this artifact. Of particular note is the modern reversal of previous research findings that argue that wrestling identity is constructed on the individual level and the ideology enshrined in wrestling is that of an opposition to dominant ideologies. Both of these claims …

The Culture Of Compliance: The Final Triumph Of Form Over Substance In Sexual Harassment Law, Joanna L. Grossman

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

This Article is divided into three Parts. Part I briefly describes the continuing problem of sexual harassment and summarizes case law relating to employer liability for sexual harassment. It then describes the incentives the law creates for employers, victims, and harassers, and explains how each group responds to these incentives. Part II explores whether the preventative measures spurred by the legal regime serve Title VII's goal of deterring harassment and preventing harm. It first identifies individual and organizational factors that cause or correlate with the level of harassment in order to develop theoretical connections between employer preventative measures and the …

Japanese Justice System Reform In Comparative Perspective, Daniel H. Foote

Articles

Over the past two years I have become so heavily involved in the justice system reform discussions - in particular the discussions regarding legal training - that it would be nearly impossible for me to address the assigned topic of reform from a detached perspective. Rather than attempt to do so, I will offer certain personal impressions of the reforms, with particular reference to legal education.

Avid: A Comprehensive School Reform Model For Texas, Karen M. Watt, Darlene Yanez, Griselda Cossio

Organization and School Leadership Faculty Publications

The implementation of a recent comprehensive school reform effort in the state of Texas bas been examined in this article. The effort, Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), was studied in-depth over the two-year implementation period through school visits, observations, stakeholder interviews, and student performance data analysis. Main findings revealed that through proper implementation (strong instructional leadership, using AVID strategies school-wide, and staff development), underachieving, economically disadvantaged, ethnic minority students can succeed in a rigorous curriculum. AVID is a catalyst for school-wide reform; AVID addresses and influences school policies that can be barriers to student success; AVID is a pathway to …

The Effects Of Cooperative Learning Versus Traditional Classroom Instruction On Cognitive Achievement, Critical Thinking, And Attitudes Toward Learning In Teams In A Physician Assistant Program, Scott L. Massey

Dissertations

Problem. Physician assistants are required to possess critical thinking skills and excellent intellectual skills to achieve the level of autonomy expected by supervising physicians. No scientific research has been identified to determine the most effective means of educating the physician assistant students. The purpose of the research study was to determine whether a statistical difference exists between students educated in a cooperative learning environment versus a traditional lecture environment. The dependent variable utilized in this study included critical thinking skills, cognitive achievement, and attitudes towards learning in teams. Using an experimental research design, students were educated in a cooperative learning …
