Whistle Past The Church No More, Perceptions On Added Value To Industrial Tourism In Dublin's Liberties, Tony Kiely
Whistle Past The Church No More, Perceptions On Added Value To Industrial Tourism In Dublin's Liberties, Tony Kiely
Conference papers
Situated in the Liberties area of Dublin, and within a short walk of Trinity College, the Guinness Storehouse serves as an iconic key attractor for up to one million visitors annually. The success of this visitor attraction can be directly attributed to a “brand immersion” strategy, which emotionally links the visitor with the brand through cultural identification alignment. Yet many tourists, in accessing Ireland’s premier tourist attraction, often pass within the shadows of a cluster of lesser known, but nonetheless significant church heritage sites. While acknowledging that at the extreme ends of an experience continuum “brand visitation” and “church visitation” …
On Account Of Race Or Color: Race As Corporation And The Original Understanding Of Race, Reginald Oh
On Account Of Race Or Color: Race As Corporation And The Original Understanding Of Race, Reginald Oh
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Oh describes this essay as a critique of constitutional and political discourse on "race" and argues that current equal protection doctrine operates under a conception of race that undermines rather than moves forward the goal of achieving racial equality. That understanding defines race solely or primarily as a physical trait or characteristic, and unjustifiably rejects other, more robust notions of race. He argues that the notion of race as physical trait is inconsistent with the historical understanding of race that served as the basis for the Reconstruction Amendments. A careful examination of nineteenth and early twentieth century court decisions, decisions …
Targeting Tuberculars: Social Stigma And Public Health Campaigns, Filomeno V. Aguilar Jr
Targeting Tuberculars: Social Stigma And Public Health Campaigns, Filomeno V. Aguilar Jr
History Department Faculty Publications
In the fight against tuberculosis one major obstacle is the social stigma associated with the disease. Stigma, which is both relational and contextual, marks the body of the tubercular as a site of danger. This essay reflects on the social history of tuberculosis and proposes that stigma’s contingent history in the Philippines can be traced to public health campaigns carried out during the twentieth century, which sought to segregate and isolate the tubercular to limit contagion but could not provide an effective cure. The stigmatization of tuberculosis persists at present, and public health campaigns may need to address stigma directly.

This publication provides an executive summary of our major findings in 2009.
Community-Engaged Scholarship In Ffigher Education: An Expanding Experience, Judith A. Ramaley
Community-Engaged Scholarship In Ffigher Education: An Expanding Experience, Judith A. Ramaley
Higher Education
Higher education in this country has always been expected to serve the public good. Sometimes, the emphasis is on preparing educated citizens or practitioners in especially critical fields and how public service can deepen and enrich learning and prepare students to lead purposeful, responsible, and creative lives. Sometimes the focus is upon institutions themselves as major intellectual and cultural resources for a community. In this paper, based on the keynote presentation at the Community Engaged Scholarship for Health Collaborative's invitational symposium, the author explores four levels of engagement: the individual, the academic community and its concepts of scholarship, the institution …
Serving The Underserved, Nadine Barragan
Serving The Underserved, Nadine Barragan
Whittier Scholars Program
This senior project describes why high school students in Pico Rivera are not going on to pursue higher education. It starts by taking a look at the Pico Rivera community as a whole and later it focuses specifically on high school age youth. It outlines the problems, root causes, and offers a solution. It creates a template that non-profits or other organizations can use to help high school youth understand the college application process better in order to encourage them to pursue higher education. This paper is directed towards community leaders and non-profit mangers to help them understand and address …

Elder Activities: Patterns, Motives, And Interpretation. Massachusetts Lifestyles Study Iii, Francis G. Caro, Jeffrey A. Burr, Eilon Caspi, Jan E. Mutchler
Gerontology Institute Publications
We are engaged in a continuing effort to understand the scope of elder activity and the implications of activity for well-being. We are particularly interested in the forces that encourage or inhibit multiple forms of activity, the ways in which participation in some activities influences participation in other activities, and the cumulative implications of activities for well being. Our interest in multiple forms of activities sets us somewhat apart from Gerontologists who focus on single forms of activity such as volunteering, taking classes, caring for grandchildren, working, or exercising.

Elder Economic Security Initiative™ Program: The Elder Economic Security Standard™ Index For Minnesota, Gerontology Institute, University Of Massachusetts Boston, Wider Opportunities For Women
Gerontology Institute Publications
This report addresses income adequacy for Minnesota’s older adults using the national WOW-GI National Elder Economic Security Standard Index (“the Elder Index”) methodology. The Elder Index benchmarks basic costs of living for elder households and illustrates how costs of living vary geographically and are based on the characteristics of elder households, including household size, home ownership or renter status, and health status. The costs are based on market costs for basic needs of elder households and do not assume any public or private supports.

[Review Of] Fire And Ink: An Anthology Of Social Action Writing. Eds. Frances Payne Adler, Debra Busman, And Diana García, Rigoberto González
Ethnic Studies Review
By keeping their opening remarks very brief (the preface plus the micro-introduction add up to less than seven pages), the editors have made an unassuming choice: to let the work by the contributors do the talking. In other projects, this plunge into creative material without providing much of a historical or literary context might come across as daring, and with an anthology of social action writing, that risk may or may not pay off. The expectation of Fire and Ink, it appears, is that the reader (or instructor) will have some basic knowledge of activist writers and the range of …

George S. Schuyler, Black And Conservative, Helen Lock
Ethnic Studies Review
When George S. Schuyler published his autobiography Black and Conservative in 1966, its title was intended to be paradoxical, underscoring how the two adjectives were rarely used together, particularly in an era that had recently seen the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965. When it came to political affiliation, the general assumption was that African Americans, more or less by definition, were not likely to be conservatives; rather, conservatism meant a desire to preserve the pre-existing status quo, making very little sense in Civil Rights era for a majority of African …
Pachucos, Chicano Homeboys And Gypsy Caló: Transmission Of A Speech Style, Maryellen Garcia
Pachucos, Chicano Homeboys And Gypsy Caló: Transmission Of A Speech Style, Maryellen Garcia
Ethnic Studies Review
The term caló is well-known within many Mexican American communities as a bilingual slang that is one of several speech styles in the community repertoire, closely associated with Pachuco groups of the U.S. Southwest that came to prominence in the 1940's. But the term caló predates its introduction to the U.S. by many decades. With roots in a Romany-based germanio of the 16th century, from the speech of immigrant gypsies evolved a new Spanish-based argot, the result of language shift from Romany to Spanish over centuries. By the 19th century, caló referred to a Spanish-based criminal argot called "caló jergal" …

[Review Of] Irene Vilar, Impossible Motherhood: Testimony Of An Abortion Addict, Jade Hidle
Ethnic Studies Review
From its flesh-toned cover etched with red tallies marking the author's fifteen aborted pregnancies, to its unflinching accounts of each procedure, Irene Vilar's Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict forces readers to confront the issue of abortion. Though the topic is inevitably divisive, Vilar's purpose, as stated from the prologue of her memoir, is clearly neither didactic nor partisan.
[Review Of] Shalini Shankar. Des; Land: Teen Culture, Class And Success In Silicon Valley, Gitanjali Singh
[Review Of] Shalini Shankar. Des; Land: Teen Culture, Class And Success In Silicon Valley, Gitanjali Singh
Ethnic Studies Review
Shalini Shankar begins her book by locating her own positionality of growing up in a predominantly white, middle-class high school in suburban New York versus the study's main focus of South Asian youth in Silicon Valley's mostly ethnic neighborhoods. Shankar was encouraged by her Indian, immigrant family to socialize with other South Asians, similar to the youth she studies; however, she clearly notes the stark differences in the researcher and subject divisions. Shankar employs an unusual anthropological approach to study Desi youth in the Silicon Valley by historically contexualizing the economic success of the South Asian community while presenting the …
Sacred Hoop Dreams: Basketball In The Work Of Sherman Alexie, David S. Goldstein
Sacred Hoop Dreams: Basketball In The Work Of Sherman Alexie, David S. Goldstein
Ethnic Studies Review
The game of basketball serves as a fitting metaphor for the conflicts and tensions of life. It involves both cooperation and competition, selflessness and ego. In the hands of a gifted writer like Sherman Alexie, those paradoxes become even deeper and more revealing. In his short story collections, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and The Toughest Indian in the World, his debut novel, Reservation Blues, and his recent young adult novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Alexie uses basketball to explore the ironies of American Indian reservation life and the tensions between traditional lifeways …
Black Mayors In Non-Majority Black (Medium Sized) Cities: Universalizing The Interests Of Blacks, Ravi K. Perry
Black Mayors In Non-Majority Black (Medium Sized) Cities: Universalizing The Interests Of Blacks, Ravi K. Perry
Ethnic Studies Review
The nature of political representation of Black constituents' interests from their elected Black representatives is changing in the twentyfirst century. Increasingly, African Americans are being elected to political offices where the majority of their constituents are not African American. Previous research on this question tended to characterize Black politicians' efforts to represent their Black constituents' interests in two frames: deracialized or racialized (McCormick and Jones 1993; Cruse 1990). However, the advent of the twenty-first century has exhausted the utility ofthat polarization. Black politicians no longer find explicit racial appeals appropriate for their electoral goals, given the changing demographic environment, and …
Inside The Image And The Word: The Re/Membering Of Indigenous Identities, Dina Fachin
Inside The Image And The Word: The Re/Membering Of Indigenous Identities, Dina Fachin
Ethnic Studies Review
By appropriating the power of writing of the phonetic Latin alphabet and recent visual technology, new generations of indigenous people from the Americas have been able to articulate and reinforce their own sense of identity from "within" their cultural constructs. In so doing, they have been shaping new narratives of indigenous adaptation and survival based on native ontologies and epistemologies that critically decolonize the homogenizing forces of national and global rhetoric. I argue that the texts under examination put forward ways to conceive and to know individual and communal identity that cannot be understood outside specific, ancient notions of territoriality …
Trends In Black-White Church Integration, Philip Q. Yang, Starlita Smith
Trends In Black-White Church Integration, Philip Q. Yang, Starlita Smith
Ethnic Studies Review
Historically, the separation of blacks and whites in churches was well known (Gilbreath 1995; Schaefer 2005). Even in 1968, about four years after the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. still said that "eleven o'clock on Sunday is the most segregated hour of the week" (Gilbreath 1995:1). His reference was to the entrenched practice of black and white Americans who worshiped separately in segregated congregations even though as Christians, their faith was supposed to bring them together to love each other as brothers and sisters. King's statement was not just a casual …
Trey Ellis's Platitudes: Redefining Black Voices, Quan Manh Ha
Trey Ellis's Platitudes: Redefining Black Voices, Quan Manh Ha
Ethnic Studies Review
Trey Ellis has emerged as a prominent African American writer of the late-twentieth century, despite the small number of his published works. "The New Black Aesthetic," an essay that he first published in CaUaloo in 1989, one year after the publication of his first novel, Platitudes, stands as a manifesto that defines and articulates his perspective on the emerging black literary voices and culture of the time, and on "the future of African American artistic expression" in the postmodern era.1 According to Eric Lott, Ellis's novel parodies the literary and cultural conflict between such male experimental writers as lshmael Reed …

Kawasaki Syndrome In Texas, Alberto Coustasse, Julius J. Larry, Witold Migala, Cody Arvidson, Karan P. Singh
Management Faculty Research
The authors examined hospitalization rates of Kawasaki Syndrome (KS) among Texas children to isolate clusters, identify demographic disparities, and suggest possible causative factors. Using a retrospective cross-sectional study design, they studied 330 KS cases from 2,818,460 hospital discharges. The majority of the cases (61.5%) occurred within the 1-4-years-old category, representing the highest hospitalization rate (14.3 per 100,000 children). Almost 75% of the KS population was less than 5 years old, with hospitalization rates approximately 8 times higher than that of all other children (p < .05). KS diagnosis occurred for only 49.4% of all KS cases upon admission. Along with high-density clusters identified in major metropolitan areas, the authors found the highest rates of KS among Asian and Pacific Islander and non-Hispanic black children. Genetic predispositions and access to healthcare issues may explain the results. The authors recommend improving educational initiatives with healthcare providers and establishing KS as a reportable condition.
Adult Children's Experiences Following Mid To Late Life Parental Divorce, Joleen Rennee Loucks
Adult Children's Experiences Following Mid To Late Life Parental Divorce, Joleen Rennee Loucks
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Since the late 1980s, there has been an increase in the number of studies looking at the impact of a mid to late life parental divorce on adult children. Most of the studies focus on the parent-child relationship, while no studies assess the adult sibling relationship. This dissertation was designed to provide a better understanding of how and why family relationships, including the parent-child and adult sibling relationships, may be affected by a mid to late life parental divorce.

Modeling Peer Influence And Peer Selection As Processes, Bob Edward Vasquez
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Behavioral scientists are aware of the strong and persistent correlation between peer and individual behavior. Evidence suggests selection and socialization effects explain the correlation, but the processes, or the details of the ways in which these effects operate in an empirical model, remain relatively unexamined.
Pleading Guilty For Life : An Exploration Of Plea Bargaining In The Face Of Death, Susan Ehrhard
Pleading Guilty For Life : An Exploration Of Plea Bargaining In The Face Of Death, Susan Ehrhard
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation explores decision making and the process of plea bargaining in aggravated murder cases. The study focuses on the extent to which, if any, the death penalty acts as a bargaining tool, inducing guilty pleas to sentences that would otherwise not be accepted, were the death penalty upon conviction at trial not a possibility. The role of the death penalty in this process is an important consideration and one that raises significant implications concerning the human and financial costs of capital punishment. Interviews with prosecutors and defense attorneys in a state where the maximum punishment for murder is death …
Infected Justice : The Impact Of Hiv/Aids On The Police In Anglo-Phone Sub-Saharan Africa, Nathan Carl Meehan
Infected Justice : The Impact Of Hiv/Aids On The Police In Anglo-Phone Sub-Saharan Africa, Nathan Carl Meehan
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Sub-Saharan Africa is an epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This disease is affecting nearly every aspect of society in this region. This disease destroys individuals, strains family structures, weakens economies, burdens health systems, and can destabilize entire countries. The police are also being affected by HIV/AIDS. The way in which this disease impacts police organizations in sub-Saharan Africa is understudied. This project sought to estimate the HIV/AIDS impacts on police organizations in Anglo-phone sub-Sahara by utilizing the available literature on how HIV/AIDS affects military, civil service, healthcare, and education organizations in these same countries. It also attempts to identify the …
Treatment Process In Youth Residential Treatment Centers (Rtcs) : The Congruence Of Youth's Treatment Climate Perceptions And Treatment Interventions, And Its Impact On Treatment Outcomes, Yufan Huang
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation research focuses on clients' perceptions of treatment climate in youth's residential treatment centers (RTCs). It explores how clients perceive the treatment environment differently and the impact of these climate perceptions and the other key treatment process component--the treatment interventions/services, on both in- and post-program treatment outcomes. An important hypothesis of "treatment congruence" is tested, in which treatment is expected to be more effective when these climate perceptions are congruent with treatment interventions/services in their effects on client. Data come from a longitudinal pilot study of 130 youth and families from two RTCs, with detailed measures of their treatment …
Officers' Perceptions And Experiences With Citizen Disrespect : A Cross-National Analysis, William Christopher Pizio
Officers' Perceptions And Experiences With Citizen Disrespect : A Cross-National Analysis, William Christopher Pizio
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Although a body of research exists examining the influence of citizen disrespect on police decision making and use of force, that research is limited in its capacity to appropriately conceptualize citizen disrespect. In fact, little is known about the verbal and nonverbal behaviors that for officers signify disrespect - in the United States and abroad. Utilizing survey data from officers in a mid-sized city police department in the United States and the London Metropolitan Police, this research seeks to understand the breadth of behaviors that officers find disrespectful, to discover how often officers perceive that they are experiencing disrespectful citizens, …
Ghanaian Immigrant Children In The Bronx : A Case Study In Acculturation, James Baffour Asare
Ghanaian Immigrant Children In The Bronx : A Case Study In Acculturation, James Baffour Asare
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The aim of the current study was to examine the cultural adaptation process of the children of Ghanaian immigrants living in the Bronx, New York City. To this end, twenty-five Ghanaian immigrant children were interviewed. In an attempt to ascertain the extent to which these children have become acculturated to the host society and integrated into mainstream American culture, the focus of the interviews was on the impact of American culture on language, food, discipline, dress, religion, mate selection, and education. Interview participants were selected via snowball sampling. Employing a qualitative approach, I conducted face-to-face interviews consisting of open-ended questions …
Impulsivity, Offending, And The Neighborhood : Investigating The Person-Context Nexus, Gregory M. Zimmerman
Impulsivity, Offending, And The Neighborhood : Investigating The Person-Context Nexus, Gregory M. Zimmerman
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
A key assumption of the traditional trait-based approach to the study of crime is that personality traits cause people to act similarly across a wide array of contexts. This approach has been challenged for its failure to acknowledge differences in the social environments to which individuals are exposed. Similarly, community-level explanations of crime have been criticized for failing to acknowledge that there are important individual differences between criminals and non-criminals. Ultimately, a full understanding of crime requires the consideration of both individual and environmental differences, perhaps most importantly because they may interact to produce offending behavior. In particular, the influence …
