Ways of Knowing: Laywomen in Early Vincentian Practices of Reform
Get PDFAlison Forrestal examines the role of laywomen of various social classes in early Vincentian service. Although the concept of a lay vocation had not been formulated in the seventeenth century, the service that laywomen, whether married or single, provided to society rendered their state valuable and holy in its own right. This was an important facet of the Catholic Reformation. Early Vincentian efforts were innovative for the time, allowing women to organize and perform the administrative work for their own service. Women also gave religious instruction to the poor, which was unusual, and their own spirituality and devotional activities were encouraged as a means of sustaining their endeavors. Forrestal offers the female members of the Lamoignon family as a case study in how laywomen saw themselves as called by God to participate in various forms of charity. Although much of the development of the lay vocation came after their time, Forrestal explains that these women “absorbed and applied newly emerged spiritual and pastoral emphases on discernment, choice, and inclusivity. In doing so, they were drawing the Catholic church a step closer to accepting what they were first imagining and then bringing into being.

The Mediating Effect of Recognizing Racism and Biases within the Workplace: Cross-race Friendships and Allyship Behaviors
Get PDFIn this study, engagement in allyship behaviors were tested in a sample of part- and full-time workers that worked either in a fully in-person or hybrid work environment. Participants (N = 271) responded to an online survey. Drawing on friendship and intergroup contact theories, the effect of cross-race friendships on allyship behaviors was tested. Recognition of racism and biases was proposed as the distinct candidate mediator in this relationship. All constructs consisted of individual measures, each tested through a series of linear regressions and multiple mediation models. Specifically, cross-race friendships included close cross-race friendship and cross-race friendship behaviors; recognition of racism and bias included a bias awareness scale, subtle bias subscale, anti-racism behavioral inventory, and the modern racism scale; and allyship behaviors included a diversity voice measure and comfort confronting racist comments. Results largely support the mediation hypothesis. However, the bias awareness scale did not show support for mediation regardless of what predictor and outcome were coinciding within the model
