Publications and Research

Historically, coming out as a lesbian and then forming an identity of a "lesbian of color" includes seeking out like voices and stories.

Sources For Statistical Data On Flexible Work Arrangements, Shelley Waters Boots, Anna Danziger

Memos and Fact Sheets

From the Department of Labor, the best survey for flexibility data comes from the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is a monthly survey of 60,000 households that provides data on the labor force, employment, unemployment, and persons not in the labor force.

The benefit of the CPS is that it is large, reliable, and the sample is carefully weighted to provide nationally representative estimates. It also has a significant amount of other data, including a large amount of information on employee characteristics, occupation and industry classifications, and work schedules. The drawbacks however, are that the questions on flexibility are …

Ethical Dimensions And Filial Caregiving, Ellen Frances Mccarty M.A., Ph.D., Constance Smith Hendricks Ph.D., Denisha L. Hendricks M.Ed., Ed.D., Kathleen Mary Mccarty Mph, Sd

Journal of Health Ethics

Filial caregiving has significantly reduced nursing home admission for older relatives (LoSasso & Johnson, 2002). While much has been written about family caregiving stress, little has been written regarding ethical dimensions of filial (pertaining to a son or daughter) responsibility for older parents and their perception of moral demands.

Therefore, this paper provides the following:
An overview of the concept of family caregiving;
A discussion of family characteristics; and
An explication of ethical underpinnings and filial caregiver acceptance.

The ethical challenge for health care providers and researchers is to explore with adult children the reasons given for persuading themselves to …

Comparison Of Legal Standards In Sexual Harassment Hostile Work Environment, Jeanne M. O'Brien Rice

Theses and Dissertations
