Participatory Action Research: Science And Social Change, Dora Raymaker

Systems Science Friday Noon Seminar Series

Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a general collaborative approach to inquiry that includes research "subjects" as members of the research team. Useful in any setting involving groups of people, PAR has revolutionized research with minority communities. Some "flavors" of PAR, such as Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) have been developed to address issues of power and privilege, to change dynamics between science, society, and minorities, and to enable and encourage systems change. This talk discusses the theory and practice of PAR as a research approach, drawing from real world examples in health sciences research with minority communities defined by disability or …

Proposed Community Action Plan For Casa Cornelia Law Center, Allison Bechill, Scott Campbell, Casey Mckinley

Community Engagement and Collaboration

Casa Cornelia and scores of other public and private agencies rely on interpreters and translators for communicating with immigrants and their communities. Volunteer support overcomes language barriers and ensures that all clients have access to support services in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. Unfortunately, there is often a lack of qualified volunteer interpreters and translators available, most acutely for its Somali clients, which comprise the largest percentage of its Asylum Program’s caseload.

This paper considers possible solutions to the insufficient number of volunteers that are currently available to Casa Cornelia.

和富領袖網絡系列 : 星級服務研習「嶺」袖之旅2010-2011 : 廣州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

我們是來自不同學系、不同年級、不同成長背景的嶺南大學學生，因參加了「和富領袖網絡系列 – 星級服務研習『嶺』袖之旅」2010-2011 而走在一起，希望透過社會服務提升個人質素，做一個具領袖魅力的「嶺南人」。

提到雲南，大部份人大概立即聯想到麗江、大理等旅遊勝地。然而，「雲南中國遠征軍追憶之旅」卻是個非一般的旅程。我們泛舟到歷史恆河的上游：到軍營步操、在松山戰場遺址留下足印、深入農村探訪抗日老戰士、到國殤墓園致祭。我們遊走於現代心靈的佇足點：大夥兒每晚擠在小小的房間裡進行反思會，以不同的觀點及角度分析歷史，從中檢討自己的處事態度，學習及改善自己的不足，甚至是生活細節及整個人生。

追憶之旅完結後，我們舉辦了「追尋歷史痕跡，憶念愛國情懷」分享會，匯報我們的考察成果。我們更自發地舉辦義賣籌款活動，重建雲南侯橋鎮一間遭受山泥傾瀉破壞的山區小學。這一切，皆是我們一眾「嶺」袖之星對是次旅程的一份反饋、承擔。

此特刊紀錄了我們一路上的成長──出發旅程前的「心動」、旅程中的「感動」、旅程後歸來的「行動」。在此，謹以此特刊向所有曾參與抗日戰爭的老戰士致敬，並向和富社會企業、嶺南大學服務研習處、中華精忠慈善基金會及粵港創新培訓人才中心為是次旅程作出的貢獻致謝。希望大家從不同的故事中感受到這段歷史的重要性，與我們一起重新關愛在世的老兵。

Sozialpolitik Nach Dem Verursacherprinzip : Beispiele Der Anwendung Bei Sucht, Gewichtsproblemen, Medikamentenmissbrauch, Arbeitslosigkeit, Prostitution, Isidor Wallimann

Books

Dieses einzigartige Buch ist der "Praxisband" des bekannten und renommierten Experten im Bereich der modernen Sozialpolitik. In mehr und mehr Ländern wird punktuell das Verursacherprinzip auch in der Sozial- und Gesundheitspolitik angewendet, leider zu bruchstückhaft und oft wenig reflektiert. Sozialpolitik nach dem Verursacherprinzip ist genau jenes Thema, dass kontroversiell diskutiert wird. Prominente Fallbeispiele wie zB im Bereich der Tabakindustrie in den USA prägen die Diskussion und gesellschaftspolitischen Diskurse.

Im Idealfall sollen mit dem Verursacherprinzip Soziale Probleme und Belastungen an alle dafür verantwortlichen Akteure zurückgebunden und so vermieden werden. Akteure, die andern Schaden zufügen, müssen dafür die Verantwortung übernehmen. Kosten zu …

Poverty Attributions And Attitudes Toward Government Spending, Laurel George, Leila N. Kempf, Kristie Phillips

FHSS Mentored Research Conference

The U.S. has the greatest economic inequality of any industrialized nation, and does the least to reduce this inequality (Dreier 2007). This inequality may reflect attitudes about the causes of poverty that may diminish willingness to support policy designed to alleviate its effects. Prior research has examined differences in attitudes toward the poor and those receiving welfare and about poverty beliefs, but not whether a relationship exist between these beliefs and opinions on Political Science. In order to investigate this explanation, we analyze data from the 1992 American National Election Survey (N=674) for a possible link between whether people attribute …

Who Wants To Be In America? A Generalized Linear Mixed Model To Predict Satisfaction With Life In The United States Among The Children Of Immigrants, Brian D. Harris, Joe Olsen

FHSS Mentored Research Conference

Stratification theory and various theories of immigrant integration suggest that it may be more important to measure integration outcomes among the children of immigrant than first-generation immigrants themselves. While many researchers use outcomes that can be measured directly such as income or educational attainment, more research is needed on the subjective interpretations of the children of immigrants. I use a multilevel generalized linear mixed model to predict satisfaction with the United States among the children of immigrants. Data come from the first two waves of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS). Parents' citizenship status, students' citizenship status, previous experiences …

Using Media To Connect In Romantic Relationships: Effects On Attachment, Relationship Satisfaction And Stability, Lori C. Schade, Jonathan Sandberg, Roy Bean

FHSS Mentored Research Conference

This study was designed to explore in a path analysis how non-vocal and non-facial forms of media communication in emerging adults' romantic relationships might influence attachment, relationship satisfaction and relationship stability. For both males and females, using these forms of media to connect in their relationships seemed to be positively associated with attachment. Attachment was positively correlated with both relationship satisfaction and stability for both groups. Using media to communicate in a hurtful way was negatively related to satisfaction and stability. Differences between groups are presented and implications discussed.

Fathers Of Flourishing Families, Daniel H. Erickson, Randal D. Day

FHSS Mentored Research Conference

Researchers have found that father involvement is a critical part of healthy child development. Fathers’ perspectives and qualities greatly influence and affect children. Researchers’ findings tell us that father involvement is correlated to positive outcomes in children, including increased cognitive competence, increased empathy, less sex-stereotyped beliefs, a greater internal locus of control, and acting out less often. The purpose of this study is to advance the extant literature by showing how father involvement over time impacts child self-esteem, depression, perseverance, hope, and leadership in the lives of 500 teens.

The Illicit Arms Trade: A Social Network Analysis, David Todd Kinsella

Systems Science Friday Noon Seminar Series

In recent years, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to the proliferation of small arms and light weapons. Small arms are difficult to track and are not the stuff of military parades, but they are immensely destructive. In addition to what is already circulating, a substantial percentage of what is newly produced enters the black market and is destined for conflict zones across the globe. I argue that the illicit trade in small arms shares some important properties with networked forms of organization studied by sociologists. I then employ quantitative methods developed for the study of social networks in an …

Environmental Imaginaries Of The Middle East And North Africa, Diana K. Davis, Edmund Burke Iii

Ohio University Press Open Access Books

The landscapes of the Middle East have captured our imaginations throughout history. Images of endless golden dunes, camel caravans, isolated desert oases, and rivers lined with palm trees have often framed written and visual representations of the region. Embedded in these portrayals is the common belief that the environment, in most places, has been deforested and desertified by centuries of misuse. It is precisely such orientalist environmental imaginaries, increasingly undermined by contemporary ecological data, that the eleven authors in this volume question. This is the first volume to critically examine culturally constructed views of the environmental history of the Middle …
