Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
This study explored the impact of organizational culture on Haiti from a socio-economic standpoint.

The Qualitative Report
This autoethnography highlights the subjective nature of narrative research and illustrates the ways in which both micro and macro forces impact the research process.

The authors worked directly with 122 children in their community settings, involving parents and school officials as an encouraging audience (4) to the children’s new views of themselves. 90% of preteen girls (ages 9 to …
