Rooted in Love and Solidarity: Student Encampments for a Popular University
Get PDFIn the spring academic semester of 2024, universities across the nation saw an uptick of student encampments asking for a divestment of university funds from Israel and its military operations (Reeve, 2023). These encampments have incited arrests of students, faculty, and community members; violent brawls between protesters and masked counter-protesters; cancellations of university graduations for the COVID-19 generation who did not get to experience their high school graduation either—and yet these encampments have also created on-campus teach-ins, opportunities for students and administrators to learn from another, and for the building of campus communities which extend beyond the classroom and school-sanctioned clubs. These protests invited students, faculty, alumni, and community members to sit-in together, learn from one another, and weave their roots deep into the soil of a university that they cared for so deeply that they would risk being arrested in order to see their university divest funds for the sake of humanity. This paper shares the autoethnographic lens of one researcher from one campus (Butler-Kisber, 2010), and specifically one teach-in which used Newspaper Theatre (Boal, 2006) to support students in (re)writing the version of their experiences as they lived them

Get PDFMany individuals with depression have been observed to exert effort to appear non-depressed. This effort, referred to as camouflaging, has been systematically studied among individuals with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but not among individuals with more common disorders such as depression. The purpose of this research was to examine camouflaging amongst individuals with depression and develop a camouflaging instrument specifically for depression. The Camouflaging Depression Scale (CDS) was developed and administered to 292 individuals experiencing varying levels of depression along with other clinical measures. In this sample, engagement in camouflaging was common and similarly occurred among individuals across varying levels of depression and demographic characteristics. The final 14-item CDS had a unitary factor structure with good internal consistency and temporal reliability across two weeks, and the CDS was associated with a self-monitoring scale. CDS scores were also associated with measures of depression, distress, fatigue, and internalized stigma. The CDS provides a means for researchers, diagnosticians, and clinicians to more accurately measure and examine this under-recognized phenomenon
Impact of Social Media on Family Relations in the Arab Gulf Region
Get PDFSocial media use especially among children and adolescents has become a topic of concern in the Gulf region especially for parents. This chapter addresses the issue of social media use and its impact on family relations, and is comprised of six parts: (1) place of social media in sociology; (2) prevalence of social media in the Gulf region with an emphasis on how much use, nature of use and motivation for use; (3) positive and detrimental consequences of social media use; (4) impact of social media use, especially problematic social media, on family relations; (5) parents’ role in guiding their children toward reasonable and safe use of social media; and (6) conclusion and recommendations
Are Populist Leaders Playing the Public? Examining the Effect of Populism on Common and Luxury Good Imports
Get PDFPopulist movements have grown significantly around the world in recent years. Populist ideologies typically view social and political elites as the enemy of the people; however, populist leaders are themselves part of the elite class, and are politically and financially dependent on other elites to some degree. We use principal-agent theory to examine whether populist leaders act as constrained agents by faithfully representing the people’s interests, or whether they actually pursue elite interests. We use panel data on more than 170 countries from 1993 to 2019 to look at total imports and imports of luxury goods under populist regimes to examine whether populist leaders try to carve out exceptions for elite interests. We find that both total imports and imports of luxury goods decline under populist regimes, and further decline over time. This suggests that populists act more as constrained agents to the people
“I Think Even in Challenging Times We Can Still Be Uplifting”: Indigenous Women’s Experiences of Resilience to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Alaska
Get PDFDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Alaska communities faced an extremely challenging situation given their socioeconomic, cultural, and demographic characteristics, as well as issues related to remoteness and colonial legacy. This paper seeks to advance the understanding of the gendered impacts and implications of crises like the COVID-19 pandemic on Indigenous women in Alaskan urban and rural communities through a resilience lens. The paper addresses two primary research questions: (1) What are the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indigenous women in urban and rural Alaska, and specifically what are the gendered implications in the personal, sociocultural, and economic domains? (2) What are the strengths associated with women’s responses to COVID-19 that contribute to individual and community resilience during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and what are the constraints? This research is based on seventeen in-depth thematic interviews conducted in the city of Anchorage, the hub community of Nome, and its neighboring rural communities on the Seward Peninsula. Using the deficit-based approach combined with a strength-based perspective, this study provides a comprehensive examination of Indigenous women experiences during the pandemic across key domains of gendered impacts and responses, also providing a first-ever analysis of differences between rural and urban settings. The results revealed that despite significant challenges in personal, sociocultural, and economic domains, women demonstrated resilience and resourcefulness, while serving as caregivers at home and across their communities. The Indigenous holistic concepts of health and well-being, along with values of care, mutual support, and strong social and kinship ties, combined with traditional land- and water-based activities and cultural practices, play a crucial role in times of crisis, significantly contributing to building resilience and fostering empowerment at both the individual and community levels
