American Habits: Robert Bellah And Cultural Reformation, Richard L. Wood Sep 2007

American Habits: Robert Bellah And Cultural Reformation, Richard L. Wood

Sociology Faculty and Staff Publications

For four decades, Robert Bellahs books, articles and public speeches have influenced thoughtful sectors of American faith communities. Widely known among academics and the holder of an endowed chair at one of the premier public universities in the United States, Bellah is best known in church circles for Habits of the Heart the The Good Society (both coauthored with the team of Richard Madsen, William Sullivan, Ann Swidler and Steven M. Tipton). Their interpretation of the deep cultural patterns of American life has resonated with religious leaders of many stripes and has shaped sermons and adult education hours in many …

Perigenual Anterior Cingulate Morphology Covaries With Perceived Social Standing, Peter J. Gianaros, Jeffrey A. Horenstein, Sheldon Cohen, Karen A. Matthews, Sarah M. Brown, Janine D. Flory, Hugo D. Critchley, Stephen B. Manuck, Ahmad R. Hariri Sep 2007

Publications and Research

Low socioeconomic status (SES) increases the risk for developing psychiatric and chronic medical disorders. A stress-related pathway by which low SES may affect mental and physical health is through the perception of holding a low social standing, termed low subjective social status. This proposal implicates overlapping brain regions mediating stress reactivity and socioemotional behaviors as neuroanatomical substrates that could plausibly link subjective social status to health-related outcomes. In a test of this proposal, we used a computational structural neuroimaging method (voxel-based morphometry) in a healthy community sample to examine the relationships between reports of subjective social status and regional gray …

Rural Soldiers Continue To Account For Disproportionately High Share Of U.S. Casualties In Iraq And Afghanistan, William P. O'Hare, Bill Bishop Sep 2007

Rural Soldiers Continue To Account For Disproportionately High Share Of U.S. Casualties In Iraq And Afghanistan, William P. O'Hare, Bill Bishop

Carsey Publications

When the nation goes to war, all Americans are expected to make sacrifices. Today's rural Americans, however, have fewer job opportunities within their communities, and are joining the military at higher rates. In turn, rural communities are facing military losses in disproportionate numbers to their urban counterparts.

Citizens For Peace Minutes 08-08-07, Linda J. Lieder

Citizens for Peace

After a brief break for refreshments, the group watched the movie, The Reluctant Prophet, by Fr. George Zabelka. This 1988 documentary explores Zabelka’s trips to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan to ask for forgiveness for these terrible crimes. The film included footage of the Pantex Nuclear Bomb plant in Amarillo, Texas, that is producing 5-8 mega bombs per day and transporting 180 bombs every three months for the Trident subs. The film also showed how we knowingly napalmed Dresden. Napalm is immoral and we knew it meant death for all civilians, yet we did it. Without repentance for these actions, there …

Encountering One Another: Feminist Relationships In Organizational Research, Kristina A. Bourne Sep 2007

Encountering One Another: Feminist Relationships In Organizational Research, Kristina A. Bourne

Organization Management Journal

As a graduate student attempting to integrate feminist principles into my academic endeavors, I eagerly entered the research field to examine how women business owners who feel a conflict between feminism and capitalism enact their everyday lives. I chose participant observation, a common methodology in feminist research, with the aim of getting “inside” these women’s lives to better understand their experiences. However, as the fieldwork proceeded, my focus shifted to examining the space in which the realities of the feminist organizational researcher and of the feminist business owner encounter one another. This paper reflects upon how we made sense of …

Civics and Citizenship Assessment

The new IEA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) will investigate the extent to which young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens across a range of countries. ICCS will survey 13-to-14-year old students in over 30 countries in the year 2009. The ICCS outcome data will be obtained from representative samples of students in their eighth year of schooling and context data from the students, their schools and teachers. ICCS is the third international IEA study in this area and it is explicitly linked through common questions to the IEA Civic Education Study (CIVED) which was …

Swosu Fact Book Fall 2007, Denisa Engelman

Fact Books

I am proud to introduce the sixteenth annual Southwestern Oklahoma State University Fact Book. The Fact Book provides a ready source of information to answer frequently asked questions about the University and its operations. Unless otherwise noted, the information in this Fact Book came from computer-generated reports that are printed following the tenth class day of each fall semester. Because of student fluctuations during the semester, numbers will not match other published enrollment numbers that may be based on enrollment at the end of a semester.

Measuring The Trade-Offs Between Economic Growth And Unequal Distribution Of The Benefits, Knowledge@Smu Sep 2007

Measuring The Trade-Offs Between Economic Growth And Unequal Distribution Of The Benefits, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

In an unequal world, how should countries evaluate the trade-offs between pursuing economic growth and the risks of unequal distribution of the benefits amongst individuals? London School of Economics professor and department head Danny Quah recently delivered an address on "Life in Unequal Growing Economies”, as part of the Singapore Management University School of Economics Distinguished Lecture Series. His paper proposes an empirical model to measure the trade-offs between economic growth and income inequality, and to assess the implications of such trade-offs for poverty alleviation and individual welfare.

Drought— But Not Dust Bowl, Mike Mccurry, Trevor Brooks, Donna Hess Sep 2007

Drought— But Not Dust Bowl, Mike Mccurry, Trevor Brooks, Donna Hess

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

In 2006, fears that the drought in South Dakota would be worse than that of the 1930s made the pages of the New York Times (1). Indeed, this 21st Century drought is serious but, in terms of sheer human misery, it doesn’t match what was called the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, and the Dirty Thirties. Back when South Dakota State University was South Dakota A&M, rural sociologists conducted studies of the Dust Bowl, so now we can compare the two droughts. “A Graphic Summary of the Relief Situation in South Dakota (1930-1935)” shows numbers of people on relief, number …

Lead-Contaminated Candies In Southern Nevada, Shawn Gerstenberger, Glenn Savage, Clayton Sellers, Keith Zupnik, Emmanuel C. Gorospe Sep 2007

Lead-Contaminated Candies In Southern Nevada, Shawn Gerstenberger, Glenn Savage, Clayton Sellers, Keith Zupnik, Emmanuel C. Gorospe

Environmental & Global Health Faculty Research

Lead-contaminated candies from Latin America are beginning to gain attention in the public media1,2 and in the medical literature.3–5 These candies come from a number of sources and are manufactured outside Food and Drug Administration regulatory control. In 2005, we sampled 50 imported Latin American candies sold in Southern Nevada. A total of 20 (40%) tested positive with an average lead content of 1.46  0.27 mg/kg in the candies’ wrappers and straws, based on standard Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry methodology. Given these results, the Southern Nevada Health District issued a cease-and-desist order on February 13, 2006, to local …
