Mustafa Kemal Atatürk: The First Gender Champion
The founder of the modern, secular nation-state of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, transformed the Ottoman Empire into the nation-state of Türkiye. His visionary approach focused on secularization and nation-state building, which established him as a true “gender champion” long before such a term had meaning in the current global agenda. With the support of Turkish women during and after the War of Independence, he committed himself to increasing all citizens’ welfare, focusing on gender equality and breaking the traditional gender barriers. His reforms resulted in the rapid modernization of the Turkish Republic, and Turkish women took a leading role in this process. Thanks to these developments, Türkiye inaugurated its first nuclear power plant at its centennial after many failed attempts. In this article, we will analyze his reforms that addressed inequalities in traditional gender roles and reinforced the position of Turkish women in creating a modern society. Thanks to these reforms in the Republic’s early days, Turkish women have an active and crucial role in policymaking and implementation processes in critical institutions. The article also highlights the relationship between Atatürk’s vision of gender equality and the modern concept of being a gender champion
“I feel as though I would not be able to empathize”: Intersectionality and Counselor Intergroup Anxiety
Researchers applied a thematic analysis in this study to examine the nature of master-level counseling students’ (N = 19) intergroup anxiety (IA), a form of bias characterized by an anxious response to others based on negative views of that person’s identity (Stephan, 2014). Students cited stronger IA reactions toward persons with multiple identity traits (i.e., intersectionality). Traits chosen varied widely, some being dominant (e.g., White, male, able-bodied), and others, minoritized in nature (e.g., Black, Muslim, disabled). Thematic explanations for IA reactions varied, including a fear of client judgement, prior negative experiences with persons of certain traits, limited knowledge of clients’ experiences, and opposing views from certain clients. Participants expressed doubt that they would be able to connect with, or feel empathy for, clients of named intersectional traits. Findings suggest the salience of intersectionality and the importance of providing a more complex, nuanced, open, and adaptive curriculum and supervisory experience to meet students’ learning needs
Counselor Educators\u27 Experiences within the Faculty Microsystem during Gatekeeping
Gatekeeping is a responsibility for all counselor educators (CEs). Little is known about how CEs work with their colleagues to enact gatekeeping in counselor education programs. This grounded theory study explored 12 diverse CEs’ gatekeeping experiences, creating an ecological model of the Faculty Microsystem during gatekeeping that illuminates important conditions, processes, and interactions during gatekeeping in counselor education. Implications for counselor educators and doctoral students on the nature of collaboration during gatekeeping are described
Effect of Photovoice on Teaching Research to Counseling Students at Hispanic-serving Institution
The current study examined the photovoice project’s effectiveness in teaching research to counselors-in-training at a Hispanic-serving institution. Analysis of 36 pre- and post-survey responses via paired sample t-tests revealed reduced research anxiety and enhanced self-efficacy in research conceptualization, implementation, and presentation. Specific implications for counselor educators and researchers are discussed
Imperative Duality of Music Teacher Technological Education
Referencing the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) framework articulated by Mishra and Koehler, this article explains the need for educators to acknowledge and educate themselves regarding different proficiency tracks within the world of music technological content knowledge. We argue that our concept of “Imperative Duality” elaborates upon, and works to balance, the three elements of the TPACK framework: content knowledge, technological expertise, and pedagogical skills. With imperative duality, we explore the idea that educators must possess both content and technological knowledge to facilitate effective and comprehensive music tech instruction. This article also explores some music technology content and technological knowledge examples, expanding upon the benefits and limitations of each, so that we can better understand this need for different proficiency tracks within the field. We explore the importance of understanding the difference in capabilities between software options, and the importance of orienting these software options and a fluency with them within the TPACK framework. We argue that modern educators must have a working knowledge of the available music technology tools, both at the introductory levels and at more advanced levels, in order to both facilitate the classroom, as well as educate students on relevant technological content knowledge

New Drainage Records and Revised Ranges for Sympatric Pirate Perch Species in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia
We report updated ranges for four sympatric species of Pirate Perches following a recent taxonomic revision of Aphredoderus. Using observations from recent sampling by the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences and reidentifying cataloged specimens from the Georgia Museum of Natural History and Auburn University Museum collections, we were able to refine the distributions of four species throughout a complicated sympatric zone spanning coastal plain drainages in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. We find that A. gibbosus is present in low numbers in the Flint, Escambia, Choctawhatchee, and Chattahoochee basins. These additional records nearly link the previously reported disjunct distribution of A. gibbosus into a more continuous distribution, though it still appears to be rare in this part of its range. We identified A. ornatus in Patsiliga Creek (Flint basin), and A. mesotrema in basins between the Mobile River and the Escambia River, and in the Alabama River. Following field observations that A. retrodorsalis is only present at low elevations, we narrow the range this species to being generally below 65 meters elevation in basins from the Blackwater River in Florida to the Ogeechee River in Georgia. This pattern contrasts with the sympatric species A. ornatus, which extends to (and at times past) the Atlantic Coastal Plain fall line in Georgia
