Predominantly White Institutions As Leaders For Diversity, Jane Smith Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

Predominantly white institutions have a responsibility to educate students for an engaged leadership role in respecting diversity domestically and globally. To do otherwise lessens the opportunity for academic excellence. She will provide diversity strategies for an engaged leader.

An Emerging Majority: The Changing Face And Language Of Education In Nebraska, Jose J. Soto Jd

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

Decision-makers and educators at all levels of our public education system need to assume roles that will serve as strong and unwavering voice for the students and families that our education system consistently fails. It is critically important that we recognize there are things that are terribly wrong with our education system and which obviously need fixing.

Preferential Treatment And The Demands Of Fair Competition, Edward R. Abplanalp

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

The issue of the fairness of many current affirmative action policies stands in a necessary juxtaposition with the relationship citizens have with each other in the U.S. free enterprise system. Although it is the case that many of today's affirmative action programs that involve preferential treatment are flawed and morally unjustified as they stand, it is not the case that no strong affirmative action policy is morally justified. By appealing to historical facts and basic intuitions about fair competition, I present a cogent counterfactual argument that suggests that, due to the competitive nature of our present society, some forms of …

The Four Suns Of Healing, Roberto Dansie

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

We have calendars in the American continent that go back thousands of years. Researchers today confirm that these calendars not only measure the Macro-cosmos: They are also a sophisticated charting of the inner-world, particularly the dynamics between the body, the emotions, and the multiple elements that constitute our Self. These views are represented in calendars, ancient codices, and pre-Hispanic ceremonial centers. They are also alive in popular views, and traditional healing practices known today as “Curanderismo.” One of these perspectives is the use of the four suns. This presentation will explore this perspective.

The Phenomenon Of Biculturalism And Stress Among Ethnic Minority Nurse Faculty, Sheila P. Davis

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

This is an interactive presentation of a husband and wife team in which results of a methodological triangulation study that compares and contrasts ethnic minority faculty at both predominantly white and predominately ethnic minority institutions on bicultural and occupational stress are discussed. The investigator-generated, Bicultural System’s Conceptual Model, is used to interpret results and derive strategies for achieving a climate more conducive to optimal engagement of all faculty. Seven themes emerge from this study: Appraising, Proving, Fitting-In, Defending, Distancing, Being Invisible, and Mentoring are discussed in light of coping strategies used by ethnic minorities in bicultural settings. Understanding these behaviors …

Why Should I Work Hard, My Teacher Doesn’T Like Me: Educational Experiences Of Impoverished Students, Katherine Sprott

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

Relationships and communication are two key factors that impact learning. The values and beliefs for some white, middle class, female, teachers contradict these factors with students of color, even greater for impoverished students. Included are strategies, students’ voices, and recommendations for effective relational and communicative techniques between these two groups.

Equality Is A Bitch! Blackness Is A State Of Mind. Internalization Of Whiteness Is A Forced Reality, Ida Stewart

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

This presentation will demonstrate how the striving and struggle for “equality” by non-white students (Blacks, Native Americans, Hispanics, and other groups) in predominantly white educational institutions have not achieved “equality” when they graduate. They have acquired an “equivalent” rank of “as if equal” non-white elite in a non-white world separate (de facto) and unequal that is an imitation of the white world. The socioeconomic hierarchy is an abstract, powerless dependent world in a colony-like state. The power that they have serves the white powerful ruling white group more than it serves the nonwhite community. The relationship between the white ruling …

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

The goals of the presentation are to: 1) raise awareness about the “silent epidemic” of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) in the African American community and factors that influence caregivers’ decisions to seek help; and 2) present a proposed model of culturally responsive services based on African worldview.

Critical Pedagogy, Image Theater, Forum Theater And The Instruction Of Diversity Education, Franklin Titus Thompson Iii

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

This interactive workshop utilizes Critical Pedagogy, Image Theater, and Forum Theater in the instruction of race, human, and gender relations. It borrows from Paulo Freire and Augusto Boal’s concept of Humanizing Education. Praxis, the dialectical relationship between thought and practice, becomes the vehicle for establishing a problem solving process that leads to “Permanent Relationships.” Participants are encouraged to discover the missing gaps of human relations by overcoming the gap between the science of “knowing” and the art of “doing.” This workshop is designed for educators and community specialists who are willing to both give and receive new information about diversity …

Whose Voice?, William T. Waters

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

This presentation suggests ways in which students of color can learn, through meaningful research experience, to place into proper context the “majority rules” of a predominantly white institution (University of Nebraska-Lincoln). This process will start with a grassroots experience in Haiti and will end with students incorporating that experience into the campus community.

Teaching North, Teaching South: Differences That Make A Difference, Carole A. Winston

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 10th Annual National Conference (2005)

This presentation will address challenges faced by an African American women from the North (New York City) teaching in a predominantly white institution in the South (Charlotte, North Carolina). Issues confronted include student expectations/instructor expectations; instructor’s presentation (e.g., style of dress, speech pattern and temp; interpersonal communication style); myths and half-truths about “Southern hospitality” and “Northern rudeness.”

This presentation includes findings from a qualitative approach from students of color attending a predominantly white institution in the Midwest. Included are the voices, implications for implementing changes, recommendations, and suggestions that are beneficial in working with this student population.

«L’Arbre» De Gabrielle Roy: Une Hirondelle D’Hiver Dans Un Chêne Vert De Floride, Thomas M. Carr Jr.

French Language and Literature Papers

On connaît bien les voyages de Gabrielle Roy au Manitoba pour rendre visite à sa famille et ses séjours à Petite-Rivière-Saint-François dans Charlevoix. C’est seulement depuis la publication de ses lettres à son mari qu’on commence à mieux apprécier ses séjours en Floride dans les années cinquante et soixante. Au moins une nouvelle, écrite semble-t-il en Floride en 1967-1968, s’inspire de ces voyages, mais puisqu’elle n’a été reprise dans aucun recueil, elle reste mal connue. Elle n’a généralement été étudiée que dans le cadre du symbolisme du monde naturel chez Roy (Gagné, 1973; Harvey, 1993). Pourtant, François Ricard a attribué …

Review Of Jean-Nicolas Illouz, Le Symbolisme, Marshall C. Olds

French Language and Literature Papers

As emphases in literary studies have shifted away from structuralist, semiotic, and other modes of reading informed by theory toward historically-oriented esthetic and cultural analysis, we have needed a new examination of Symbolism that would account for its complexities both as a literary and artistic movement and as a “compound moment” in literary and cultural history. Jean-Nicolas Illouz has provided the foundation for such a reexamination. His study is, to my knowledge, the most complete and nuanced overview of the movement that we have, bringing together in a historically informed and carefully researched reading of Symbolism as both the point …

Trials And Tribulations: As Found In The Journals Of Samuel Kirkland, Christine Sternberg Patrick

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

By day I edit the papers of George Washington, one of those increasingly popular dead white men. But on nights and weekends I spend my time with Samuel Kirkland, a not-so-popular dead white man whom I would classify as above-average. I was first introduced to Kirkland in the 1980s, and shortly thereafter I made him the topic of my dissertation. Although some might describe him as a "dour Presbyterian," I find him fascinating.

By now I am sure that most readers are wondering, who is Samuel Kirkland? and, why is he above-average? So let me briefly answer these questions before …

Notes--Putting Materials On The Web: A Primer For Editors, Felicia Johnson

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Creating a web site begins with the collection of resources, either primary or secondary or a combination of the two. Before resources can be identified as valuable and pertinent to continued scholarly research in a specific area and made available on the web, several different kinds of people invested in the project meet to discuss goals and objectives. First, everyone in the group acknowledges the relevance and importance of the resources and agrees that making the resources more accessible on the web will enhance research in that area. Then, the group takes on the task of getting the materials on …

A Note On Identifying Source Materials, Robert Scott Davis

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Documentary editing relies on the correct and complete identification of the authorship of documents and imprints. Fraud and misidentification can occur, however, even when authorship is authenticated because a writer can create a document to mislead, such as trying to give the text undeserved authority and credibility or to present an alternative version of a particular event.

Recent Editions--Fall 2005

Review Of 5 Leadership Essentials For Women: Developing Your Ability To Make Things Happen Compiler Lisa Clark, Clarissa M. Craig

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Because much of the scholarship on leadership has been constructed using male norms (Nidiffer, 2001), there is added attraction when the essentials of successful leadership are targeted for women. 5 Leadership Essentials for Women: Developing Your Ability to Make Things Happen addresses five leadership skills that, according to the "compiler" [sic] Linda Clark, are designed with women's needs in mind. The leadership essentials explored are communication, relationship essentials, time management, group building, and conflict management.

Strategies For Advocacy In Higher Education, Marie Byrd-Blake, Linda Hampton Wesson

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

The feminist phase theory (Tetreault, 1985) was used to examine the cultural patterns embedded in a department of a large, urban university, to classify how the faculty in the department perceived women, and to examine how our own behavior as two newly hired associate and assistant professors contributed or did not contribute to these patterns of behavior. Three years of field notes, anecdotal records, transcriptions of meetings, interviews, and student comments were categorized to develop experienced-derived strategies. These strategies encourage women in higher education to: (a) recognize their own enmeshment in patriarchal practices; (b) disrupt these practices through their own …

First Things First: Writing Strategies, Marilyn L. Grady

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

There are some fundamental principles that relate to writing. For instance, you must sit down and begin. Writing is an illusive task. Procrastination and hesitation are poor companions to the work of the writer.

Women In History--Dr. Susan Laflesche Picotte: American Physician And Heroine, Bernita L. Krumm

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Susan LaFlesche Picotte walked in two cultures and, by any measure, served as a model for both. She overcame incredible obstacles to become the first Native American woman doctor in the United States. Most estimates agree that in 25 years she treated every member of the Omaha tribe. She dedicated her life to the service of others; she is without a doubt the true American heroine. References
