Southeast Asia Views the United States: Perceptions, Policies, and Prospects
No full textThis book is a comprehensive study of Southeast Asian views of their respective countries’ foreign policies towards the United States. The Southeast Asian contributors are all individuals who bridge both academia and foreign policy circles in their countries, in Southeast Asia, the Indo-Pacific, more broadly, and globally.
There is a dearth of theoretically informed, empirically rich literature on the foreign policies of Southeast Asian states. This volume, with eight chapters written by some of Southeast Asia’s leading analysts, is therefore important, timely, and fills a large gap in the literature.https://scholarship.shu.edu/faculty-publications/1083/thumbnail.jp
The Gold Standard: Government Protections for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
No full textAs the world continues to reintegrate in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of Filipinos return to the international job market abroad as construction workers, domestics, and nurses. These workers, known as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), serve as a key element in the Philippine economy and society as a whole. An essential component of keeping this field lucrative and successful is the Philippine protection system, comprised of several government agencies including the Department of Migrant Workers and the Department of Foreign Affairs. Previous research holds that the Philippine government has done an overall good job at protecting OFWs, serving as one of the premier systems worldwide. To test this idea, I studied OFW conditions in Saudi Arabia through a singular case study method, reviewing how the Philippines protects OFWs. My findings mostly concur with that of previous research, as the Philippines ultimately does a wonderful job of ensuring that OFWs enter into fair contracts and avoid abuse. Nevertheless, I add to the current debate by providing suggestions that the Philippines can implement to not only improve the efficiency of its system, but also to maintain it. These recommendations are based around increasing its international footprint through greater cooperation efforts and securing funding for the main protection agencies for OFWs

Melusine and Yde et Olive: Subversive Narrative Power in the Medieval Female Body
No full textThis paper delves into the representation of the female body in Medieval Literature, focusing on the texts of \u27Melusine\u27 and \u27Yde et Olive\u27. The paper explores how these two texts represent bodily difference and transformation as a source of subversive narrative power. Rather than functioning merely as symbols of weakness or instability compared to the stable and coherent male body, the female bodies in these texts disrupt social and gender norms, generating new possibilities for identity and narrative authority
Profit & Loss: A Narrative Inquiry into the Salience of the Black Male Experience in Top-Tier U.S. MBA Programs
No full textThis study aimed to explore the educational, cultural, and personal challenges faced by Black males in MBA programs and to identify factors that aid their persistence in completing their degrees. The research design employed a qualitative approach to narrative inquiry as its methodology, using one-on-one semi-structured interviews. The study used resilience theory as its theoretical framework, approaching it from both an academic and psychological perspective. Respondents were recruited from the top 50 MBA programs in the United States according to the 2023 edition of U.S News and World Report (2024). There were a total of 15 African American respondents who took part in this qualitative survey, 11 current MBA students and four alumni students. There was one research question and three sub-questions, totaling four. Research question 1a asked what challenges do African Americans face? The results produced four themes: managing racial identity and mental health, stereotypes and microaggressions, balancing academic, family, and social life, financial pressures and cost of an mba, limited representation and mentors, and networking and recruiting biases. Research question 1b asked what factors contribute to the academic success and persistence of African American males pursuing an MBA degree, including but not limited to academic resilience. Themes derived from this question were personal resilience, support systems, financial resources, representation, and institutional culture. Research question 1c asked what specific resources do African American males leverage to help support them during their MBA program? Four themes emerged, which were structured programs and organizations, peer network and community support, mentorship and alumni support, and faculty and institutional resources. Based on these findings, the researcher created a psychological resilience pathway model explaining how Black males achieve resilience within challenging academic environments. This research fills a critical gap in business education literature by highlighting the intersection of race, resilience, and graduate student experience. It challenges business schools to reimagine their support structures, not only to recruit but to retain and empower underrepresented students. The paper concludes with implications for practice and policy, including strategies for building culturally affirming learning environments and enhancing access to mentorship and financial aid. Recommendations for future research include comparing Black males in top-tier MBA programs in the United States versus those in top-tier MBA programs internationally, and exploring how underrepresented students who are Consortium/MLT versus non-Consortium/MLT fare in MBA programs.
