Capitalism, Identity Politics, And Queerness Converge: Lgbt Employee Resource Groups., Rod P. Githens
Capitalism, Identity Politics, And Queerness Converge: Lgbt Employee Resource Groups., Rod P. Githens
Benerd College Faculty Presentations
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employee resource groups have brought about substantial organizational change within corporations. Capitalist structures have enabled these changes to occur more quickly in the private sector than within the public sector. In this article, I explore how capitalism has converged with two approaches of organizing around sexuality: identity politics and queerness. As a result of this convergence, human resource development has occurred at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. Due to current forms of capitalism, employers have a need to keep employees happy and enable them to seek meaning through their jobs. As a result, …

The contemporary college or university campus is a complex and dynamic environment that requires students to navigate myriad institutional processes. College preparedness is not simply a matter of being academically ready for postsecondary-level work, but also requires that students have a procedural knowledge of other university processes - what we define herein as "college knowledge." This article presents that results of an evaluation of a college preparation program that focuses on college knowledge and provides a road map for designing an effective college knowledge program.

When A Group Presentation Isn’T Enough: Financial Aid Advising For Low-Income Urban College Bound Students, Kristan Venegas, Ronald Hallett

Group presentations are the common ways to communicate information about financial aid to high school students.

Education plays a critical role in how adolescents mature into adults. A vulnerable, and often forgotten, sub-population of the poor is homeless youth, for whom lack of a stable or adequate residence creates a unique set of educational barriers. The Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis (CHEPA) spent 18 months documenting the experiences of homeless adolescents in Los Angeles, deriving data from 123 interviews with homeless adolescents between the ages of 14 and 19, and an additional 45 interviews with shelter staff, social workers, parents, teachers, and school district administrators. Follow-up interviews were conducted with 30 of the youth to …

An Assessment Of The Law School Climate For Glbt Students, Kelly Strader, Brietta R. Clark, Robin Ingli, M. Elizabeth Kransberger, Lawrence C. Levine, William Perez
McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles
Nationwide empirical research has assessed the law school climate for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) students. The research shows that the climate for GBLT students at most law schools in the United States, particularly those in urban areas, has improved. The research also shows, however, that this group still encounters substantial discrimination on law school campuses and in law school class¬rooms. This discrimination may result from overt acts, thoughtlessness, and/or neglect on the part of various actors in law school communities. Whatever the cause, the result is that many GLBT students feel disenfranchised from their broader law school communities. …
The Intersection Of Identity Construction & Learning Approach : The Experience Of College Students With Psychological Disorders, Shauna K. Moriarty
The Intersection Of Identity Construction & Learning Approach : The Experience Of College Students With Psychological Disorders, Shauna K. Moriarty
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
College for many adults represents a time for increasing independence, autonomy, and self-exploration. Yet the college experience may also be a time when students discover the presence of a psychological disorder, or navigate how to grapple with an existing disorder in the new and unfamiliar environment of college. An increasing number of students with such disorders are enrolling and participating in higher education yet current literature is often insufficient to adequately guide and inform postsecondary institution personnel regarding this complex student population (Beamish, 2005). Therefore, this phenomenological study aimed to discover the lived experience of a small sample of students …
