Experiences Of Pregnancy, Childbirth And Post-Partem Period In Urban And Suburban Immigrant Pakistani Women, Rubab I. Qureshi

Dissertations

A body of research suggests that immigrants arrive in the U.S. in good health, a healthy immigrant effect. As immigrants acculturate and absorb dominant cultural norms (measured by proxy variables such as language preference, employment, smoking and alcohol consumption), their health status deteriorates. There is a need to understand how immigrants adapt to a changed social and cultural environment and how this may influence health.

A study of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period in immigrant Pakistani women living in New Jersey explored the interface of culture, immigration and health. The study employed a three pronged approach. Census data were …

星級服務研習「嶺」袖之旅2009-2010 : 雲南中國遠征軍追憶之旅特刊, Office Of Service-Learning, Lingnan University

OSL Book / Book Chapter / Manual 書刊/文章/教材冊

「2008年清明節，我與父親前上司的家人一起吃晚飯期間，其中一位軍官的外孫將其外公以前所拍下的照片整理成為一本圖片集，並送了一本給我。回到家中，隨手翻閱圖片集的其中一集，發現一張1947年拍下我父親臉相的照片，幸運的是，我當時仍珍藏一張父親二十年前的照片，仔細檢視後，發現這兩張相內的主角臉相是一模一樣!正因如此，我開展了對滇緬抗戰的歷史研究…」

聽著香港警務處屯門警區指揮官兼中華精忠慈善基金會會長的蔡建祥總警司在飛往雲南騰衝的途中細說他開始研究滇緬抗戰的機緣，正好為三十七位「嶺」袖之星(十九位嶺南大學與十八位中四學生)揭開「中國遠征軍追憶之旅」的序幕。由蔡警司親自率領「嶺」袖之星及屯門區、九龍城區少年警訊走到廣州、雲南、考察黃花崗七十二烈士墓園、龍陵抗戰紀念文化廣場、董家溝日軍慰安所、惠通橋、松山戰役遺址、國殤墓園、滇緬抗戰博物館等地，從昔日抗戰老兵的訪談中學習未被廣泛認知的滇緬抗戰歷史，這本特刊記錄了此次考察活動的成果。特刊主要分為四部份，首先是簡述滇緬抗戰的歷史背景，第二部份「抗日遠征軍戰史教育行」是關於每個考察地點的小知識及參與同學的心聲，第三部份的「抗戰老兵專訪」記錄了受訪老兵的故事，最後一部份為「嶺」袖之星的感言。

From Trial To Triumph: Representations Of African Americans In Museum Exhibits, Derrick Brooms

Dissertations (2 year embargo)

In my dissertation, I examine contemporary exhibits about African American history and culture at six museums to explore issues of racial representation, collective identity, and cultural authority. I conduct a systematic two-part investigation of exhibition practices across Black-owned/operated and mainstream museums, one of each in three different cities (Chicago, IL; Milwaukee, WI; and Washington, DC). First, I explore the socio-historic discourses on race as played out in the museum medium and its implications for shaping collective identity. Second, I examine the use of exhibits and other visual mediums located within museums, in the process of representation wherein these visual media …

Juvenile Delinquency And Conformism, Eleonora Patacchini, Yves Zenou

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

This paper studies whether conformism behavior affects individual outcomes in crime. We present a social network model of peer effects with ex-ante heterogeneous agents and show how conformism and deterrence affect criminal activities. We then bring the model to the data by using a very detailed dataset of adolescent friendship networks. A novel social network-based empirical strategy allows us to identify peer effects for different types of crimes. We find that conformity plays an important role for all crimes, especially for petty crimes. This suggests that, for juvenile crime, an effective policy should not only be measured by the possible …

To What Extent Does A Social Compact Exist Between Higher Education And Society: A Study Of Two Minnesota Universities, Laurie Woodward

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation explores the nature, applicability and usefulness of social contract theory, and the resulting compact between higher education and society as a way to understand the growth and development of higher education in the United States. The goal is accomplished with an in-depth look at two different universities in the state of Minnesota at four different periods or pivotal points in the history of higher education in the United States. The underlying assumption was that if there is a social compact between higher education and society, traces of its existence would be found in the historical evidence concerning the …
