From Laughter to Tears: What is it About Judy Blume?
No full textWhat is it that everyone loves about Judy Blume? I propose that Judy Blume is so popular and loved by young adults because of the candor, humor, and comfort that her novels never fail to provide. She has a way of letting young adults know that everything is going to be just fine. Her impact has affected millions over the years. Specific moments from Forever, Blubber, and Tiger Eyes illustrate Blume's candor and humorous way of viewing serious, realistic matters, from death and sexuality to being painfully humiliated due to one's personal appearance. These literary moments contain a great deal of pathos; they make readers laugh out loud or shed tears through Blume's distinctively candid creativity.
In Letters to Judy: What Kids Wish they could Tell You, Blume has helped parents see life through their children's eyes. She provides letters from children who have written to her over the years for all readers to see that childhood is not as easy as adults often think it is. These letters provide a glimpse of Blume's empathy with young adulthood that makes her so appealing to readers of all ages.
Examining these novels will allow me to select moments from Blume's writing that illustrate young adult experiences in a humorous, sad, or realistic light. It is during these moments that the reader is closest to and absorbed in the characters in Forever, Blubber, and Tiger Eyes. Exploring Blume's life experiences, awards, and writing style helps to provide the answer to what it is about Judy Blume that makes her such a treasured young adult author

Measuring financial strain in the lives of survivors of intimate partner violence
No full textAgencies serving survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) often include economic empowerment programs and approaches as a way to assist survivors struggling with avoiding poverty and gaining financial independence. Understanding and addressing the economic needs of IPV survivors is more complex than just knowing their income. Indeed, survivors’ ability to manage their finances and any financial stress or strain should also be assessed to fully understand their needs. The Financial Strain Survey (FSS) (Aldana & Liljenquist, 1998) provides a useful tool for screening and understanding survivors’ complex financial needs. Using data from 457 IPV survivors from seven U.S. states and Puerto Rico, the current study evaluates the factor structure, reliability, and validity of using the FSS with IPV survivors. Findings indicate that the FSS is a reliable instrument for use with IPV survivors. The conclusion discusses the FSS as a practical tool for both practice and research with this population.Peer reviewed
Anger and Repair: The Art and politics of Judy Watson's the holes in the land (2015)
No full textThis article examines the six coloured etchings in the series, the holes in the land (2015), by Australian Indigenous artist Judy Watson. The series resulted from a residency in the British Museum in 2013 where Watson had access to Aboriginal artefacts from near to her country in north-west Queensland. Watson is a Waanyi artist with maternal ties to north-west Queensland. I analyse the series as ground-breaking in a number of important ways. First, the tone of her visually seductive work departs from the norm of anger proposed as the dominant affect in urban Aboriginal art by Ian McLean. Secondly, the series has the kind of complex ambivalence so well described by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick in her account of reparative approaches to cultural material. And finally, Watson’s vibrant and engaging way of representing the land aligns her with the tenets of Walter Mignolo’s decolonial approach.Arts, Education & Law Group, Queensland College of ArtNo Full Tex
