Resilience And The Multigenerational Academic Work Environment In The United States, Kala Chakradhar
Kala Chakradhar
The academic work environment in higher education has transformed and evolved, not only with respect to the goals pursued and the means to accomplish these goals, but also with respect to its demographic composition. Four generational cohorts with some unique dispositions defining their work ethic and adaptation to the work environment constitute the current workforce. These changes highlighted the need to examine the resilience of this pluralistic workforce. This empirical research study of faculty (n = 484) in a stratified sample of universities in the United States investigated what is it that contributes to resilience across the generational cohorts when …

Youth Program Evaluation: Furthering Youth Participation In Evaluation Systems, Ariel Vaughan

Young people, particularly low income youth of color, have historically been perceived as ‘problems’ in society, but new models of youth development have begun to shift the narrative surrounding young people.

The author will be using the YouthGROW program of the Regional Environmental Council as a case study.

In response to this charge, the William H. Hannon Library staff development committee created and facilitated a day-long examination of social justice …

Re-Imagining The Labor Movement As A Social Movement, James Patin
James Patin
This paper presents a new theoretical contribution which seeks to provide a framework
for the labor movement to be rebuilt by engaging both in traditional labor struggles and in social
movements. I argue that the labor movement must use labor power to fight for social change on
all fronts, using demands which bridge member consciousness to social movement
consciousness, as well as framing and organizing tactics which unite the community around the
union. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of labor movement and social movement theory
and practice. We demonstrate that Marxist Theory has been historically present, but that it …
