Trans*forming College Classrooms into Gender-Inclusive Spaces: A Case Study Amplifying Transgender Students’ Voices
Get PDFThis qualitative, multiple case study examined the factors that affect classroom experiences of trans* college students in the United States pursuing associate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees. Participants included 19 students with a variety of trans identities attending various institutions across the United States. I conducted initial interviews with each participant at the beginning of the spring 2021 semester, collected monthly written reflections throughout the semester, and conducted a final interview with each participant at the end of the term. This study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and thus, interviews were conducted virtually. I used open coding to analyze the interview transcripts and reflections, then identified categories and themes. Analysis revealed five themes: Navigating gender identity, the power of language, the trans* tax, the (mis)education of sex and gender, and community. I interpreted the findings using Bronfenbrenner’s (1976) ecological systems theory and queer theory. This study provides many recommendations to stakeholders, including instructors, institutions of higher education, students, families, and more
Hear No Evil? Investigating Relationships between Dispositional and Applied Mindfulness, and Moral Disengagement Mechanisms at Work
No full textTo date, over forty-seven studies have examined the antecedents and outcomes of Moral Disengagement (MD) mechanisms used to rationalize unethical behavior. However, none have examined its relationship with mindful awareness, either as a trait or set of everyday applications. Our study (n = 253) demonstrates that trait mindfulness is negatively correlated with all MD mechanisms. The tendency to apply decentering and relaxation is positively correlated with all MD mechanisms while stopping and reappraisal trend toward positive relationships and savoring shows no correlation. We discuss potential reasons for these disparate relationships and implications for mindfulness-based interventions in the workplace
Hemingway\u27s Widow: The Life and Legacy of Mary Welsh Hemingway
No full textTapping previously unaccessed sources, this biography offers a more fully rounded view of Hemingway\u27s fourth wife than previously available. By necessity it also offers the familiar territory of Hemingway\u27s life but presents Mary Welsh Hemingway as a complex figure in a courtship and a marriage fraught with emotional and occasionally physical peril.

The American Red Cross and the Making of Ernest Hemingway
No full textValuable study of the evolution and activities of the American Red Cross after the U.S. entered the war against Germany in 1917. The agency\u27s patriotic marketing campaign produced widespread propaganda posters and advertising, a strategy, Will writes, that created fertile ground for disillusionment, which rapidly undercut Hemingway\u27s initial war fervor and reoriented his attitude toward war itself. Links the repercussions of Hemingway\u27s Red Cross service to the development of his style, his fear of being regarded a slacker, his generative skepticism, and his concerns with language (see A Farewell to Arms) and silence in various narratives of the war, beginning with articles he wrote for the Toronto Star
