Preface to Intersectionality & Higher Education: Theory, Research, & Praxis
Get PDFIntersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Crenshaw, a scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist legal theory, used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women who―because of the intersection race, gender, and class―are exposed to exponential and interlocking forms of marginalization and oppression often rendering them invisible
Diseases of the Aorta

Long Island Horseshoe Crab Network Annual Inventory Report
Get PDFCERCOM monitors 115 beach locations from Brooklyn – Montauk during optimal Limulus Polyphemus breeding season. These beach surveys take place for approximately 15 weeks, ranging from MayAugust. These beach locations are marked specifically using GPS coordinates, to assure the same location is visited each year. Students and volunteers are required to attend a HSC Survey training orientation lead by CERCOM’s research assistant, Mr. Kyle Maurelli. Surveying is done around tide and moon cycles (New/Full Moon). Each site takes about 1-2 hours and data is recorded along an approximate 1 mile distance. Walking along the water’s edge the number of male and female HSCs are counted as well as the dead and or molted HSCs. This data is recorded and submitted to Molloy College’s online HSC inventory form on the Molloy College website. CERCOM provides data for total observed HSC populations per site as well as whether or not HSC breeding has or is occurring at each beach location. Trends in breeding beach existence and overall Long Island populations is recorded annually
Religious Sister Educators: A Narrative Study Through a Feminist Lens
Get PDFThrough the dedicated labor of women religious, the Catholic school system represents the largest private system both nationally and internationally (Arthur, 2005; United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, 2016). Once the backbone of American parochial schools, the presence of religious sister educators within Catholic schools has become an increasingly rare occurrence. Using a theoretical framework based on feminist theory and rooted in the concepts of oppression and identity, this dissertation study examines the personal, religious formation, and professional experiences of two retired religious sister educators who successfully devoted over four decades to the mission of Catholic education as they navigated dramatic changes in demographics, educational policies, and leadership. Utilizing a narrative inquiry design based on the Deweyan view of the role experience and education (Connelly & Clandinin 1990), I gleaned extensive data from subject and triangulation interviews, archive documents, and personal photos. During the thematic analysis process, I discovered several prominent themes. First, I determined that as educational leaders, the subjects employed a combination of social justice leadership and social-emotional learning, or what I termed social-emotional justice. Second, as nuns, the sisters experienced oppression, specifically at the hands of clergy. Finally, the sisters adhered to a strict educational philosophy of child first, teacher second policy whereby their decisions as administrators reflected high value placed upon the rights of students and strong regard for their faculty members. Religious Sister Educators: A Narrative Study v Nonetheless, their use of social-emotional learning practices allowed the subjects to form strong relationships with quite a few of the families of the students they served. Catholic schools in this nation have produced more than half of the U.S. Supreme Court justices, hold a nearly 100% high school graduation rate, and are known for their success in educating students most marginalized in society (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2018). The sisters of this study and their predecessors have contributed to these accomplishments through their cognizance of their constituents’ dignity; their emphasis on educating the whole child; their recognition of instances of oppression in their own lives as a means to assuage the afflictions of others and their strict observance of their child first, teacher second maxim. These religious sister educators’ experiences and the lessons that emanate from them can serve not only faith-based institutions but all schools
Sisters of Charity: St. Vincent\u27s Hospital and the Titanic Disaster
Get PDFGina Bellafante wrote in the New York Times on 3/1/20 that the city would feel the impact of its hospital shortage when the Covid-19 Virus arrived. She specifically singled out the closure and sale of St. Vincent\u27s Hospital, noting its replacement by luxury condominiums. My article here provides an example of St. Vincent Hospital in action at the turn of the twentieth century when it cared for over a hundred Titanic survivors. Its disaster expertise is now sorely missed in New York City. St. Vincent\u27s Hospital was founded and run by the religious order Sisters of Charity in the Nineteenth Century. This article is part of a larger project that examines the full scope of disaster relief for Titanic survivors in New York and London from 1912 to 1950
The Roles of Absorption in Music Therapy
Get PDFAbsorption refers to the phenomenon of total attentional engagement. The purpose of the current study was to gain a preliminary understanding of the roles that absorption may have in different music therapy approaches. The research questions were: a) How might music therapists know when their clients are in states of absorption?, b) How might absorption influence the ability of music therapy clients to progress towards therapeutic goals?, and c) What is the potential relationship between absorption and music? Three music therapists with self-identified expertise and experience in conceptualizing absorption in music therapy were interviewed about their observations and opinions of absorption in their music therapy practices. Analysis of the interview data revealed the following themes: 1. how music therapy experiences facilitate absorption for clients, 2. how absorption influences music therapy clients, and 3. transitioning to new experiential states. The results suggest that music therapists may facilitate states of absorption in clients by matching music to their kinesthetic and emotional experiences. Absorption states may help clients to access resources and to transition to new experiential state
Male Nurses’ Experience Of Gender Stereotyping Over The Past Five Decades: A Narrative Approach
Get PDFNegative stereotyping of men in nursing has been a chronic problem that has a direct effect on males and detracts from efforts to recruit and retain them. At this time in American history (2018), traditionally male-dominated professions are making significant progress toward the goal of a gender-balanced workplace. However, the opposite is not true. Traditionally female-dominated professions are not attracting or appealing to men. In the nursing profession, the number of male nurses is relatively small and has remained relatively fixed over time. Estimates vary between 6-15 percent, with the current average being approximately 11 percent (American Nurses Association, 2014). The aim of this qualitative narrative study is to explore the perception of stereotyping by male nurses over time and to ascertain if there has been a change in the male’s perception of the phenomenon. To this end, the research question is as follows: What are the effects of stereotyping on the perceptions of male nurses from the years 1970 through 2017? The purpose of this qualitative exploratory narrative analysis is to examine the phenomena of male nurse stereotyping as experienced by men in nursing within the context of time. Using a narrative approach, a snowball sample of male nurses was applied. The nurses related their personal recollections and experiences of being a male in a female-dominated profession. Each interview used a narrative approach to elicit the stories from the participant’s career progression. Participants were specifically recruited from careers that spanned five decades. The men were asked to focus on what was occurring in society from their point of entry into the profession and to compare it to 2019. The selection of participants was divided into ten-year increments starting from 1970-1979 and ending in 2017 (seven-year increment for the last group). Three men were interviewed from 1970-79, 1980-89, and 2010-2017 cohorts; four men were from the 1990-1999 and 2000-2009 cohort. A total of seventeen nurses were interviewed. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. A narrative analysis using Catherine Riessman’s (1993) method of thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns of the lived personal positive and negative experiences of male nurses. This study was conducted to determine if the perception of gender bias and stereotyping for males has changed over time. Although present in each of the decades, there was some variation. Regardless of the decade analyzed, the effect of stereotyping varied from male to male. As an example, in some of the participants from the older cohorts, bias was not perceived at all whereas, in some of the younger participants it was. There were two notable findings. First, as time went on, there were fewer vocalizations of stereotyping, and when it did occur, it was often in the form of “joking or teasing.” Most of the men agreed that gender bias and stereotyping has become less of an issue or not a factor at all. Secondly, some of the issues that the men spoke of have a historical connection to the literature on male nurse stereotyping. These issues were echoed in the interviews of the men in this study. Some of the issues revealed have more significance than others. Some of the more serious issues include males feeling inadequate or fearful in caring for females, particularly younger females. Male treatment by faculty or staff during their obstetrical rotations was an issue for the older cohorts more than the younger ones. Males being asked to lift and move patients more often than their female colleagues occurred across the continuum. Males were considered professionally misplaced, often asked, “Why are you not a doctor?” Some unanticipated findings were in regard to the male’s female colleagues. The men vocalize their observation of biases against female nurses, noting how providers often spoke differently (negatively) toward female nurses. Furthermore, men were often assumed to be in charge because of their gender and traditional societal gender roles, which could be advantageous
Elevated Average Duration of Unemployment Signals Improved Labor Market
Get PDFLong-term unemployment was one of the biggest problems during the Great Recession. Nearly half of all unemployed persons were out of work for six months or more (BLS, 2018, 2).1 This stood in sharp contrast to the experience in previous recessions, when unemployment stints beyond a half year were much less common. Since the Great Recession, the average duration of unemployment has gradually diminished along with the unemployment rate, but it has nevertheless remained relatively long. In fact, the average duration is still longer than every prior post-WWII recession. In the past, a long average duration of unemployment indicated structural impediments in the labor market, such as skills mismatches (Wiczer, 2015). Therefore, the current long duration is naturally seen as a sign of continued weakness (St. Louis Fed, 18, inter alia). In contrast, this paper posits that the elevated duration of unemployment actually indicates that the labor market is functioning unusually well. The long duration of unemployment is the result of very short job searches for newly unemployed workers, and is actually unrelated to long-term unemployment. Consequently, policies designed to solve this “problem” may be unnecessary and misguided
