Variation Procedures In Northern Ewe Song, V. Kofi Agawu
Variation Procedures In Northern Ewe Song, V. Kofi Agawu
Publications and Research
The major organizational principle of Northern Ewe song is one shared by numerous African, Oriental, and European musical traditions: a small number of models (variously described as "basic shapes," "archetypes," "background structures," "basic designs," "core patterns," "deep structures") is transformed in a wide variety of ways during performance. Variation takes place on different hierarchic levels both within and between songs and includes practically all of a song's dimensions (rhythm, interval, register, contour, harmony, and so on). This principle, although widely demonstrated in the literature on African song (see, among others, Jones 1976; Kauffman 1984; Schmidt 1984; and Erlmann 1985), is …

Social analysts have long been concerned with the changing workplace and its consequences for society and for individual workers. Today as well, under conditions of global technological and organizational transformation, work and its contents and discontents pose new questions for research and social policy.

Herders, Gatherers And Foragers: The Emerging Botanies Of Children In Rural Sudan, Cindi Katz
Herders, Gatherers And Foragers: The Emerging Botanies Of Children In Rural Sudan, Cindi Katz
Publications and Research
The range of children's knowledge of plants and their uses in an agricultural village in Sudan is presented in a context of ecological and economic change. Children participated in procurement of vegetation for food, fodder and fuel needs. In some areas, knowledge of plants was gender and task-specific. Participant-observation and ethnosemantic interview techniques were used to elicit knowledge and construct a children's taxonomy of plant material
Political Participation Of Puerto Rican Women: Mapping A Research Agenda, Sherrie Baver
Political Participation Of Puerto Rican Women: Mapping A Research Agenda, Sherrie Baver
Publications and Research
This article reviews the theoretical approaches used to study Hispanic women in politics and highlights their inadequacies for studying the political behavior of low-income Puerto Rican women, who are used as a case in point. It is not an in-depth study but an effort to develop appropriate research questions and to suggest strategies for the systematic collection of data. In general, community groups are the basic arena for the political activity of Puerto Rican women in New York City. Thus, new theoretical approaches are necessary to capture Hispanic women’s modes of influencing public policy.
Lesbian And Gay, Polly Thistlethwaite, Daniel C. Tsang
Lesbian And Gay, Polly Thistlethwaite, Daniel C. Tsang
Publications and Research
"The time is past when librarians can assume no patron is lesbian or gay, or that there is no interest in gay research," Dan Tsang and Polly Thistlethwaite wrote in the introduction to the 'Lesbian and Gay' section of Katzes' 1989 edition of Magazines for Libraries. This title review of the queer periodicals of the day was intended to serve as a guide and justification for 'mainstream' libraries' collection building. The number and range of titles in Thistlethwaite and Tsang's collaborative entries (1989, 1992, and 1995) far exceeded any mainstream library collection known to either of the authors who …
Children And The Environment: Work, Play And Learning In Rural Sudan, Cindi Katz
Children And The Environment: Work, Play And Learning In Rural Sudan, Cindi Katz
Publications and Research
In agricultural economies, environmental learning and the use of environmental knowledge are central practices of social reproduction. The former is important because it encompasses the acquisition of important vocational skills and knowledge, and the latter because it is often integral to the work of providing or procuring basic needs goods and services. In these societies children learn about the environment--that is, about agriculture, animal husbandry and the use of local resources-- largely in the course of their work and play in a variety of settings. In rural areas of the Third World the transition to capitalist relations of production is …
Dropping Out Of High School: An Inside Look, Michelle Fine
Dropping Out Of High School: An Inside Look, Michelle Fine
Publications and Research
In September, 1984, I began an ethnography of student life in and out of a New York City public high school to figure out why urban students drop out of high school at such extraordinary rates. By December, why urban students stay in high school through graduation struck me as an equally compelling question.
Disabled Women: Sexism Without The Pedestal, Michelle Fine, Adrienne Asch
Disabled Women: Sexism Without The Pedestal, Michelle Fine, Adrienne Asch
Publications and Research
The position of the disabled woman in current U.S. society deserves political, theoretical and empirical attention. In this paper we have delineated the economic, social and psychological constraints which place her at a distinct disadvantage, relative to disabled men and nondisabled women. We evaluate the ways in which having a disability is viewed as an impediment to traditional or nontraditional sex role development. The construct rolelessness is introduced, defined and examined. We conclude with reconmiendations for needed research and policy.

Positive Effects Of The Multiple Negative: Explaining The Success Of Black Professional Women, Cynthia Fuchs Epstein
Positive Effects Of The Multiple Negative: Explaining The Success Of Black Professional Women, Cynthia Fuchs Epstein
Publications and Research
To be both black and a woman in American society has most typically meant being cumulatively disadvantaged with regard to positions of power and prestige. Holding these multiple negatively evaluated statuses has meant that black women have clustered at the very bottom of most strata. This paper explores the patterns leading to success of a small minority of black women who have managed to work in occupations of high rank. It points to the special factors which have not only canceled the negative effect of holding statuses of low rank, but which have produced a positive and facilitating context for …

Systematic Biases In Panel Surveys Due To Differential Nonresponse., William (Bill) H. Williams, Colin L. Mallows Phd
Publications and Research
Panel surveys involve repeated observations on the same sample units of the population. In some of these studies, systematic biases have appeared. It is shown that these systematic biases can also be he result of the characteristics of the response probabilities.
