Accumulating Disadvantage Over The Life Course: Evidence From A Longitudinal Study Investigating The Relationship Between Educational Advantage In Youth And Health In Middle Age, Katrina M. Walsemann, Arline T. Geronimus, Gilbert C. Gee
Accumulating Disadvantage Over The Life Course: Evidence From A Longitudinal Study Investigating The Relationship Between Educational Advantage In Youth And Health In Middle Age, Katrina M. Walsemann, Arline T. Geronimus, Gilbert C. Gee
Faculty Publications
Recent studies suggest the importance of examining cumulative risk or advantage as potential predictors of health over the life course. Researchers investigating the cumulative health effects of education, however, have mainly conceptualized education in years or degrees, often disregarding educational quality and access to educational opportunities that may place individuals on divergent academic trajectories. We investigate whether educational advantages in youth are associated with an individual's health trajectory. We develop a novel index of educational advantage and employ random-intercept modeling using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. We find a widening health disparity in adulthood between respondents with …
The 2003 Slovenian Alcohol Policy: Background, Supporters, And Opponents, Aleksandra J. Snowden, William Alex Pridemore
The 2003 Slovenian Alcohol Policy: Background, Supporters, And Opponents, Aleksandra J. Snowden, William Alex Pridemore
Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
High levels of wine, beer, and spirits consumption have historically characterized Slovenian drinking culture. The geographical location of the country provides an ideal environment for wine production, historical ties with the Austro-Hungarian Empire contribute to the tradition of beer drinking, and the custom of home distilling has resulted in a considerable level of spirits consumption. This combination of factors contributes to the high level and cultural acceptance of alcohol consumption in Slovenia. Alcohol-related harm in Slovenia was recognized as a problem as early as 1834, and since then Slovenian public health experts have implemented various programs and policies in an …
Securitization And Its Discontents: The Dynamics Of Financial Product Development, Kenneth C. Kettering
Securitization And Its Discontents: The Dynamics Of Financial Product Development, Kenneth C. Kettering
Cardozo Law Review
This paper takes as its point of departure the financing technique referred to as "securitization," a close cousin of secured lending that has grown to enormous size since its origin more than two decades ago. The paper pursues two themes. One is a critique of the legal foundations of securitization, which includes a perspective on aspects of fraudulent transfer law that are well established historically but have been neglected in recent decades. The other is exploration of the implications of this product growing so vast despite its dubious legal foundations. In that regard, the paper explores two points of legal …

Academic Processing Speed Mediates The Influence Of Both Externalizing Behavior And Language Skills On The Academic Skills Of Students With Emotional Disturbance, Gregory J. Benner, J. Ron Nelson, Jill H. Allor, Paul Mooney, Tao Dai
Academic Processing Speed Mediates The Influence Of Both Externalizing Behavior And Language Skills On The Academic Skills Of Students With Emotional Disturbance, Gregory J. Benner, J. Ron Nelson, Jill H. Allor, Paul Mooney, Tao Dai
Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders: Faculty Publications
The results from previous research suggest that there is a relatively small (albeit statistically significant) relationship between the externalizing behavior and academic skills of students with emotional disturbance (ED). Researchers have also found that the majority of these students have language deficits that hinder their academic performance. The purposes of this study were to investigate the mediating role of academic processing speed (i.e., academic fluency) on the relationship between: (a) The externalizing behavior and academic skills of K-12 students with ED; and (b) language skills and academic skills of students with ED. Results indicate that academic processing speed mediated the …
Repairing Family Law, Clare Huntington
Repairing Family Law, Clare Huntington
Duke Law Journal
Scholars in the burgeoning field of law and emotion have paid surprisingly little attention to family law. This gap is unfortunate because law and emotion has the potential to bring great insights to family law. This Article begins to fill this void-and inaugurate a larger debate about the central role of emotion in family law-by exploring the intriguing and significant consequences for the regulation of families that flow from a theory of intimacy first articulated by psychoanalytic theorist Melanie Klein. According to Klein, individuals love others, inevitably transgress against those they love out of hate and aggression, feel guilt about …
No Women Allowed: Exclusion And Accountability In Men’S Anti-Rape Groups, Emily Marchese
No Women Allowed: Exclusion And Accountability In Men’S Anti-Rape Groups, Emily Marchese
Journal of International Women's Studies
This paper is a discursive analysis of men’s anti-rape organizations that exclude women, either from physically attending meeting or presentations, or representationally, in that women’s perspectives about rape and sexual assault are absent from the material. The discursive framings that result from this exclusion often subvert and preclude helpful anti-rape work. Women’s points of view are often excluded from the material or entirely misrepresented leading to the communication of dangerously inaccurate information. Positive anti-rape work is often derailed in the literature as the organizations become entangled in unreflexive rhetorical battles. By examining the discourses, as well as what the discourses …

On Changes In Rural China: The Rise Of Agrarian Capitalism And Dissolution Of The Peasantry In Contemporary China, Forrest Zhang, John A. Donaldson
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
For decades, Mr. Hong and his family have toiled the ground of Dounan Village, an area of Yunnan Province that became well-known throughout China for the quality of its fresh vegetables. While Hong and his neighbors have, since the early 1980s, concentrated on the small plot of land that the state allocated to them, in recent years, Dounan village has begun producing vegetables in large enough scale to market to distant, wealthy coastal areas, bringing new-found prosperity to the area. After gaining experience producing vegetables both on the plot that the government allocated to his family, and on his neighbors’ …
Victims, "Closure", And The Sociology Of Emotion, Susan A. Bandes
Victims, "Closure", And The Sociology Of Emotion, Susan A. Bandes
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
The concept of closure, almost unknown two decades ago, has had a meteoric rise. It has been enthusiastically embraced by the legal system not only as a legitimate psychological state, but as one that the criminal justice system ought to help victims and murder survivors to attain. In the death penalty context, the concept of closure has changed the way we talk about the rationale for capital punishment, it has changed the shape of the legal process, and it has even changed what both survivors and jurors in capital cases expect to feel. Yet, as I will illustrate, the term …

Marx, Postmodernism, And Spatial Configurations In Jameson And Lefebvre, Arina Lungu
Marx, Postmodernism, And Spatial Configurations In Jameson And Lefebvre, Arina Lungu
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article, "Marx, Postmodernism, and Spatial Configurations in Jameson and Lefebvre," Arina Lungu discusses the connection between Marxist sociology and postmodernist theory. Lungu examines Fredric Jameson's volume Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism under the light of the spatial theory developed in the 1970s by Marxian theoretician Henri Lefebvre. For Jameson, the spatial turn is a consequence of the gap between the limited abilities of the human perceptive apparatus and the unrepresentability of the multinational hyperspace. In Lungu's view, Jameson reaches his definition of "culturally-dominant" sensibility by disregarding the rich body of spatial criticism outside postmodern theory. …
A Welfare State Of Civil Rights: The Triumph Of The Therapeutic In American Constitutional Law, Daniel F. Piar
A Welfare State Of Civil Rights: The Triumph Of The Therapeutic In American Constitutional Law, Daniel F. Piar
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
This Article examines the influence of the therapeutic culture on the modem constitutional law of civil rights. The therapeutic culture is defined as one in which the central moral question is individual fulfillment. That culture has sprung up to replace older cultures such as Protestantism and classical republicanism, which are no longer capable of appealing to a nation as diverse as the United States. Instead of asking whether individuals or the nation conform to some external moral system, the therapeutic culture asks whether individuals are happy or fulfilled. This Article demonstrates that the therapeutic culture has had a significant effect …
The Female Body In Margaret Atwood’S The Edible Woman And Lady Oracle, Sofia Sanchez-Grant
The Female Body In Margaret Atwood’S The Edible Woman And Lady Oracle, Sofia Sanchez-Grant
Journal of International Women's Studies
This essay examines scholarly discourses about embodiment, and their increasing scholarly currency, in relation to two novels by the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood. Like many of Atwood’s other works, The Edible Woman (1969) and Lady Oracle (1976) are explicitly concerned with the complexities of body image. More specifically, however, these novels usefully exemplify her attempt to demystify the female form. In the following pages, I investigate Atwood’s treatment of the mind/body dualism and analyse the ways in which she responds to, and resists, its destructive effects. Using contemporary theory, moreover, I show how Atwood deals with the concept of female …

Back To The Future: The Emergence Of Contrasting European And Us Approaches To Digital Radio, Brian O'Neill
Back To The Future: The Emergence Of Contrasting European And Us Approaches To Digital Radio, Brian O'Neill
Conference Papers
Digital radio has been in development for over 25 years and yet is no nearer a point of successful adoption. This paper explores the emergence of contrasting European and American approaches to digital radio. The most established of these, Eureka-147 or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), which originated in Europe, is contrasted with the so-called IBOC or /HD Radio approach, as alternative collective conceptualizations of how technology can bridge contemporary broadcasting practice to an ̳imagined‘ digital future. Drawing on the concept of ̳symptomatic technology‘ (Williams 1974), DAB‘s origins in European R&D policy of the 1980s and its affinity with established European …
