Characteristics Of Adolescent Females Sexually Exploited Through Prostitution, Alanna Robinson 2010 University of Nevada Las Vegas

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Upon being arrested, delinquent girls are suffering from a host of health, emotional and social issues for which there is also a lack of programming and detailed research. However, emerging evidence indicates that female delinquency is characterized by a multitude of overlapping problems that distinguish them from male delinquents. Issues include poor mental health, history of child abuse, substance abuse among parents and …


Sexual Minorities In The Workplace: An Examination Of Individual Differences That Affect Responses To Workplace Heterosexism, Phillip Lipka 2010 Clemson University

Sexual Minorities In The Workplace: An Examination Of Individual Differences That Affect Responses To Workplace Heterosexism, Phillip Lipka

All Dissertations

Workplace heterosexism has been linked to numerous negative outcomes for gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) employees. While GLB is the term commonly used in the literature, research examining workplace heterosexism often focuses on gay and lesbian (GL) employees. Thus, GL was the term used in the current study.

Dear Friends: Welcome to our redesigned CLAGSNews! As you can see, CLAGS is going through a number of chances, both stylistic and substantial. We've moved CLAGSNews to a mostly electronic format, in part to save precious resources, but also to take advantage of the endless possibilities of web-based text.

An Excerpt From The 2009 Kessler Lecture: Ties That Bind: Familial Homophobia And Its Consequences, Sarah Schulman

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

Despite the emphasis on gay marriage and parenthood that has overwhelmed our freedom vision, how gays and lesbians are treated IN families, is far more influential on the quality of individual lives and the larger social order, than how we are treated AS families. Tonight I will try to articulate how and why systems of familial homophobia operate and more importantly, how they can be changed.
