Female Faithfulness Encouraged : Gendered Piety in Early American Print
Get PDFFollowing the American Revolution, membership in Baptist churches grew exponentially and the influence of the Baptist persuasion was significant. As one of the fastest-growing Protestant denominations in early America, Baptists and their interests were often indicative of larger trends in religiosity. Conceptions of piety, including beliefs surrounding submission, faithfulness, and duty, were central to the structure of Baptist congregations and their proximate communities. This paper explores the role of gender in the discussion, presentation, and justification of Baptist notions of piety in their publications during the Early American Republic. To build on the work of historians exploring female autonomy in religious spaces, this paper will offer insights into the contrasting male perceptions of this dynamic. Through a rhetorical analysis of denominational print publications, I will identify the places where ideas of gender permeated the values of these communities as well as examine the tools used to form and disseminate gendered perceptions of piety. The Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Magazine and its equivalents in surrounding spheres will serve as my main primary source base, providing examples of published discourse that a large number of early American Baptists subscribed to. By analyzing the language used to set these standards, I will be able to highlight the congruence between Baptist values and male interests in 19th-century New England. The outcome of this was the deepening of ties between religiosity and gender structures in early America
Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success: Assessing and Acting on the Equity Dimensions of OER
Get PDFEquity work and open educational resources may seem like an obvious pairing, but how much do we as OER advocates connect these dots and articulate this relationship? The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) was one of five U.S. institutions to receive a grant to pilot the Equity Through OER Rubric. Members (36 higher education systems in the U.S. and Canada) of the Driving OER Sustainability for Student Success (DOERS3) created the rubric to help define, unpack, and explain the multiple dimensions of equity and foreground the role of OER in closing equity gaps. The final rubric project portfolio includes a theoretical framework, the rubric, and case studies of institutions/systems that have utilized the rubric. Attendees will learn how the rubric can be utilized to assess institutional equity efforts and capacity for embedding Equity Through OER into the operations of an institution/system. Attendees will be invited to reflect and share their ideas and approaches regarding connecting equity and OER at their institutions
The Impact of Death Anxiety on Counselors’-in-Training Efficacy With Substance Use Populations
Get PDFDeath anxiety has been an unremitting agent of the human experience. The psychological dilemma posed by the awareness and forecasting of death can increase anxiety, thus affecting well-being through the compulsive desire or will to persist (Becker, 1973; Yalom, 1980). Such psychological armor can manifest in conscious and unconscious behaviors, thoughts, and emotions to which persons utilize psychological, social, and cultural defenses to manage anxiety (Becker, 1973; Solomon et al., 2015). Across all levels of counseling, there has been a deficiency in awareness and discussion of death-related fears within the therapeutic process (Lacocque & Loeb, 1988). Therefore, due to the enduring and immutable conflict of prospective non-being, death anxiety has been directly operational during psychotherapeutic sessions for all in the counseling room. As an enhancement to counseling training, an exploration into death anxiety and its encumbered defenses, both inside and outside the counseling room, has proposed significant influences on counselors’-in-training (CITs’) understanding of themselves and their respective influence on client experiences (Routledge & Juhl, 2010). This study was designed to explore the hypothesized relationship of the effects of death anxiety on CITs’ overall efficacy in treating clients presenting with substance use disorders by answering the question, to what extent does death anxiety and substance use bias explain graduate students’ perceptions of self-efficacy, and which, if any, of these variables contributes distinctively to the explanation after controlling for age, gender, and the combined effect of years of work experience in human services status and gender? Furthermore, the study explored the secondary and tertiary questions: do years of work experience in human services impact students’ perception of self-efficacy when working with substance use disorder populations, and to what extent do CITs’ gender and death anxiety explain their perceptions or biases toward a substance use population? Data from 94 participants were analyzed using hierarchical regression, considering demographic variables. Contrary to expectations, death anxiety (p \u3e .05) and substance use bias (p \u3e .05) did not significantly predict self-efficacy, leading to the rejection of the initial hypotheses. However, work experience in human services emerged as a statistically significant predictor of self-efficacy (p = .007), affirming its expected importance. Gender and death anxiety were not significant predictors of bias towards substance use populations (p \u3e .05 for both), which led to the dismissal of the third set of hypotheses. These results suggest that practical experience was a key factor in developing self-efficacy for counselors-in-training (CIT), while death anxiety and substance use bias have had limited influence. The findings informed clinical practice and suggested future research directions, particularly in investigating other potential influences on counselor self-efficacy
