Does the non-occupational physician consider occupational pathology? the question about occupation
No full textLa presente investigación cualitativa, titulada la pregunta por el oficio, pretende describir y caracterizar los principales determinantes del ejercicio profesional del “médico no ocupacional” relacionados con su comprensión, su práctica y sus experiencias en el campo de la salud ocupacional. Para esto, se realizó un estudio fenomenológico hermenéutico basado en la realización de entrevistas abiertas en profundidad a catorce unidades participantes: médicos generales no ocupacionales. Con estas preguntas se cuestionó a los médicos sobre tres aspectos generales: la formación académica, el sistema general de salud y la percepción que los galenos tienen del paciente/trabajador. Los resultados de las entrevistas permitieron ver que, aunque los médicos cuentan con formación general en salud ocupacional, las evidentes debilidades dentro del sistema de salud no permiten el adecuado abordaje de los pacientes trabajadores. El estudio permitió, además, advertir otros aspectos como las emociones expresadas por los médicos en cuanto a su ejercicio, entre ellas algunas relacionadas con sentimientos de frustración, desmotivación y cansancio en el trabajo. Esta investigación deja en evidencia la necesidad de visibilizar la salud ocupacional y la obligación de seguir trabajando en la prevención de la enfermedad laboral y la promoción de la salud de los trabajadores.This qualitative research entitled the question of occupation aims to describe and characterize
the main determinants of the professional practice of "non-occupational physicians" related to their understanding, practice and experiences in the field of occupational health. For this purpose, a hermeneutic phenomenological study was carried out based on open in-depth
interviews with fourteen participating partakers: non-occupational general practitioners. With these questions, doctors were asked about three general aspects: academic training, the general health care system and the perception of the patient/worker by the doctors. The results of the interviews showed that, although doctors have general training in occupational health, the obvious weaknesses within the health system do not allow for an adequate approach to working patients. The study also revealed other aspects such as the emotions expressed by
the doctors about their practice, including some related to feelings of frustration, demotivation and tiredness at work. This research highlights the urgent need to make occupational health more visible and the obligation to continue working on the prevention of occupational disease and the promotion of workers' health
'To Save Them from the Dangers to their Faith’: Documenting Student Life at Catholic Women's Colleges
No full textThis article focuses on student life at Catholic women's colleges in the United States during the 20th century. These colleges helped acculturate many daughters of immigrants to middle-class American society, at the same time creating a specifically female and Catholic culture on college campuses. This evolving culture, which was characterized by the ideals of femininity, religion, and service, can be reconstructed through documentation from the college archives.Peer reviewe
‘A Well-Balanced Education’: Catholic Women’s Colleges in New Jersey, 1900-1970
No full textBy examining Catholic women's colleges in New Jersey during the period 1900-1970, this paper illustrates the complexity of developing a typology of Catholic women's colleges in the United States. The first Catholic women's college in New Jersey, College of Saint Elizabeth was established in 1899 by the Sisters of Charity; followed by Mount St. Mary's, later known as Georgian Court College, in 1908; Caldwell College in 1939; and Felician, originally a junior college, in 1967. Earlier typologies of Catholic women's colleges have divided them into elite liberal arts institutions and local, vocationally-oriented colleges which served the working and lower-middle-class daughters of immigrants. Using college catalogs and yearbooks from the four New Jersey colleges, this study compiles data on curriculum, the education of faculty, college costs, and student origins, and compares it to similar data from two elite colleges, Trinity in Washington, D.C. and Manhattanville in Purchase, New York. In spite of some pressure to offer vocational courses and the challenge of giving women religious faculty members the opportunity to pursue doctoral degrees, during this period New Jersey's Catholic women's colleges provided a Catholic liberal arts education for white middle-class women not unlike that offered at better known and more prestigious colleges. Only after 1970 did social and demographic changes begin to have an impact on the curriculum and student population of this sector of Catholic higher education.Peer reviewe
Gone and Forgotten? New Jersey's Catholic Junior Colleges
No full textIn the late 1960s, New Jersey had eleven seemingly-thriving Catholic junior colleges; by the mid-1970s, all but one of these colleges had closed. This article analyzes why these institutions appeared and disappeared so quickly, and explores what contribution they made to Catholic higher education. While private junior colleges declined throughout the U.S. during this period, in some respects the situation of New Jersey was unique. Research suggests that the greatest contribution these short-lived institutions made was to the education of women religious.Peer reviewe
Vanished Worlds: Searching for the Records of Closed Catholic Women’s Colleges
No full textThis article presents the results of a survey of the archives of 36 Roman Catholic women's colleges that have closed or merged with other institutions since 1967. The majority of these archives are held by the women's religious communities that originally sponsored the colleges, although about one third are held by universities. These archives are rich resources on the history of women, education, religion, and culture that to some degree have been neglected by scholars who have focused on the history of colleges that are still open. As well as suggesting avenues for future research, this article contributes to the literature on how archives can cope with the voluminous records of twentieth-century institutions, and to emerging scholarship on the relationship of archives and memory. The survey upon which it is based revealed certain limitations on preservation, access, and use of these archives, so the article concludes with recommendations on how to make them more visible.Peer reviewe
Women Academics in England, 1870-1930
No full textBased on the author's dissertation, this article traces the development of the academic profession for women in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on women at Oxford, Cambridge and London universities. Unlike in the United States, where women's role in higher education expanded and then retracted during this period, British women slowly and steadily made inroads into this male-dominated profession.Peer reviewe

A dança magnífica de Fernanda Botelho
Get PDFFernanda Botelho publicou em Gritos da Minha Dança uma série de textos inéditos de variada tipologia. Não se trata, no entanto, de uma colectânea informe, porque, rendibilizando, de forma magnífica, os processos de fragmentação textual, a escritora alcança uma totalidade pulverizada, em perfeita harmonia com a experiência humana que subjaz ao livro.In Gritos da Minha Dança, Fernanda Botelho has gathered a collection of unpublished texts pertaining to distinct literary genres. We are not dealing, however, with an
unstructured collection since, by masterfully taking advantage of procedures
encompassed in textual fragmentation, the author attains a scattered wholeness in tune
with the human experience imbedded in the book.publishe
