Adolescents involved in decision-making: clinic conversations about the human papillomavirus and vaccination
No full textThoughtful and deliberate, adolescent decision-making is not well understood. For example, adolescents and parents visit with physicians for routine health care however the extent that adolescents participate has not been satisfactorily investigated. This study used surveys, conversations, and observations of healthy adolescents, parents, and physicians discussing issues of optional vaccination against human papillomavirus infections to interrogate the gap in understanding adolescent decision-making. The decision involves if and when to receive vaccination to prevent sexually transmitted infections that potentially cause adult cancers. Thus, sexual behavior and vaccination effectiveness infuse these discussions. Survey results from several hundred 11 thru 21 year-old Black, Hispanic, and White adolescents and parents showed adolescents’ older age, female gender, and suburban residence as significant predictors of vaccination acceptance; race, education, HPV knowledge, and judgments of adolescent autonomy were not. Survey conversations and observations substantiated that parents were the decision-makers. Information did not influence decisions; parents were influenced by their personal beliefs about vaccinations and sexual debut and their adolescents’ age. Adolescents indicated on their surveys that they would make vaccination decisions which contradicted their survey conversations and participant-physician encounters that showed adolescents deferring the decision to their parents. During survey conversations, when their parents were not present, adolescents posed thoughtful questions and engaged in HPV discussions. During participant-physician encounters adolescents rarely participated. Notably, if adolescents chose to speak they protested the shot and rallied to postpone it. An adolescent focused on a vaccination presents a vulnerable and asexual image. Adolescents’ participation in HPV vaccination decision-making is not determined by their decision-making competence but by their social competency. Both parents and adolescents understand the sexual subtexts looming in the background and neither want those perceptions to rise to the forefront. Reformulating the manner and content of HPV discussions may increase adolescent participation and vaccination reception.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Marla DeMesquita Wande
La documentation historique : Un effet de vérité dans le roman contemporain?
No full textNous examinons l’intégration de citations dans Les Onze et HHhH, deux romans à base d’archives avec un narrateur à la première personne qui se veut spécialiste d’histoire. Ce geste citationnel devrait, selon les historiens, produire de la fiabilité, mais n’a pas toujours l’effet escompté. Leur appropriation respective du style historique joue, dans les deux cas, avec les attentes du lecteur et provoque des interrogations quant à la représentation de l’histoire.This article examines the citation of historical documents in Les Onze and HHhH, two novels inspired by archival materials, with a first person narrator who styles himself as a historical expert. The citing of documents should, according to historians, be a mark of the text’s reliability, although in these novels it does not always provoke the desired result. Their respective appropriation of a historical style of writing plays with the reader’s expectations and provokes interrogations as to how best to represent history
Advocacy for Dance/Drill Team Directors: An Inquiry of Public High School Dance/Drill Team Director Stipends
No full textMarla Moore’s research entitled “Advocacy for Dance/Drill Team Directors: An Inquiry of
Public High School Dance/Drill Team Director Stipends” investigates how Texas public high school dance/drill team directors are compensated for their work and additionally, how their compensation compares to directors and coaches of other extracurricular activities. Through correlational quantitative research, the author gathered public-facing stipend data from 447 public high schools in Texas as well as survey data from 28 current high school drill team directors. Utilizing descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, Moore analyzed the data to determine trends and correlations that existed between drill team director stipends and other extracurricular teacher stipends, and additionally analyzed data according to geographical areas of Texas, school demographics, enrollment numbers, and more. The author further placed findings in relation to discourse concerning arts advocacy, the benefits of arts education, extracurricular teacher compensation, and Texas school funding
Les Chercheurs D’histoire: The Historical Investigator In The Contemporary French Novel
No full textThis dissertation studies what I call the investigative historical novel, texts that, although about a historical subject, are told from the perspective of modern-day investigators who narrate their process as they piece together fragments of the past. Taking a transnational approach, I analyze novels that represent a variety of major historical events that occurred across the globe. The chapters are organized thematically according to the most prominent kind of historical trace being studied by the investigators as they carefully observe these physical manifestations of a historical real. The first chapter considers how the writer-historians in Dora Bruder, HHhH, and Le météorologue engage with archival documents, using the written fragments as the beginning of a dialogue with the historical subjects across time and space. In the second chapter, I argue that the investigators in Mémoires d’outre-mer and the Sic transit trilogy can be considered historians in the oldest sense; like Herodotus, they write what they see and hear. In these novels, the concrete material is the physical space itself, observed as the writer-investigators travel the same routes as their historical subjects. Using studies of the everyday, the third chapter analyzes how shameful family secrets directly affect the day-to-day lives of the investigators in Un roman russe, L’Origine de la violence, and Le village de l’Allemand ou le journal des frères Schiller. The final chapter studies the incorporation of oral history practices in Pas pleurer and La Seine était rouge; the investigators listen and piece together auditory traces of the past. With this dissertation, I examine one of the developments in contemporary French literature – the turning away from the realm of fabling or invention to focus more explicitly on the process of writing. Through the running meta-commentary offered by a historian-writer, the novels foreground the question of how to write about a true story when the historical details are limited. I argue that the texts find their literary dimension not in the invention of plot, but rather in the creative combination of historical fragments and the mise en scène of the writing process
Unearthing Montreal’s Past in Hochelaga, terre des âmes
No full text[First paragraph] In his 2017 film, Hochelaga, terre des âmes (Hochelaga, Land of Souls), Québécois filmmaker François Girard delves into the complex history of Montreal. When a sinkhole appears in a football stadium, the site becomes an archaeological dig, led by a Mohawk graduate student at the Université de Montréal. The film tracks the progress of the dig, unearthing layers of history and revealing the stories of the generations of people who lived on the land, including the Indigenous peoples who lived there first.
Joe Kincheloe: Marxist Kritik and the Tender-Hearted
No full textThis piece is in memory of Joe Kincheloe. Here, Morris explores Kincheloe's tough-minded Marxism and tenderhearted kindness. The article looks at some of Joe's recent work and how he contributed to the field of curriculum studies. Morris draws on the German spelling of the word Kritik-as it is written in the work of Marx and Engels (1978)-to suggest that critical theory needs to return to its Marxist roots. Kincheloe's work is best represented by what is called critical pedagogy as he worked to undo oppression, embrace indigenous knowledges, and fight for the underdog. Morris discusses these issues in this piece. About the Author Dr. Marla Morris is Associate Professor of Education at Georgia Southern University. She is the author of Curriculum and the Holocaust: Competing Sites of Memory and Representation (2001), Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum and Associates Publishers; Jewish Intellectuals and the University (2007), New York: Palgrave; and Teaching Through the Ill Body: A Spiritual and Aesthetic Approach to Pedagogy and Illness (2008), Rotterdam: Sense Publishers

An analytical study of the relationship between substance abuse, delinquent behavior and the mediating effect of self-esteem among African-American male adolescents, 1995
No full textThis research study examined (1) the relationship between substance abuse and delinquency among African-American male adolescents and (2) self-esteem as a mediator of the relationship between substance abuse and delinquency among African-American male adolescents. Data from 30 African-American, state committed male adolescents were used in the study. A two part questionnaire was administered to examine the aforementioned variables by utilizing a cross-sectional survey design. The theoretical orientation used in this study was based on the cognitive-ecological theory. Results indicated no relationship between substance abuse and delinquency among African-American male adolescents. Importantly, the positive, moderate relationship between self-esteem and substance abuse suggests that greater attention to this relationship is needed. Implications of social work practice, at the micro and macro levels, were discussed
