Black parents at predominantly white schools: an exploratory study of race and parent involvement
No full textAn exploratory study was conducted in order to examine the experiences of Black parents with parent involvement at predominantly White schools. Eleven interviews with Black parents were completed and analyzed qualitatively using the grounded theory approach (Corbin & Strauss, 2008) and the case study method (Yin, 2009). Parental involvement has been identified as a factor that influences student academic outcomes from preschool through high school (Henderson & Berla, 1994). Research has found Black families are more likely to be involved at home when compared to White families; however, White families are more likely to be involved at school when compared to Black families (Eccles & Harold, 1996). Since research on African American families has centered on families at racially segregated public schools, there has been little investigation of the experiences of Black families in predominantly White school settings. Given the historical context of the education of Blacks in America and parent concerns with the social and emotional development of their children within school settings, African American families at predominantly White schools may engage in parent involvement practices that do not follow the traditional framework of parent involvement accepted by schools and researched in the literature. This study revealed several themes connected to African American parent involvement at predominantly White schools. These themes were the importance of education, cross-racial tensions, parent self-efficacy, biculturalism and cultural competence. Implications for future research were discussed. Recommendations were made for Black parents, educators, school counseling personnel and school-sponsored parent organizations regarding the improvement of Black parent involvement in activities and programs at predominantly White schools.Psy.DIncludes bibliographical references (p. 89-96)by Candice Rae BurkeIncludes abstrac
Sexual and nonsexual dating violence perpetration: Testing a four-type integrated perpetrator typology
No full textThe present study tested the applicability of a sexual and nonsexual violence perpetrator typology outlined by Monson and Langhinrichsen-Rohling (1948) using empirically-derived (i.e., cluster analysis) and theoretically-derived (i.e., subtypes formed based on depressive symptomatology, type and generality of violence) techniques. A number of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and personality characteristics of a large sample (N = 670) of college-aged individuals were assessed and used to test the typology. Two hundred and sixty-seven of the participants (N = 87 men, N = 178 women) reported some act of sexual and/or physical dating violence perpetration in their lifetime. Both the empirically- and theoretically-derived approaches to testing the typology provided support for at least three perpetrator types. There was a large group of perpetrators (approximately 50%), labeled Relationship-only perpetrators, who perpetrated primarily low levels of physical violence within their dating relationship(s), evidenced minimal psychopathology. Half of these perpetrators were men, and half were women. There were few differences between this type and the non-perpetrators across the assessed characteristics. Support was also found for two more severe types of perpetrators, namely the Generally Violent/Antisocial and Dysphoric/Borderline or Emotionally Dysregulated types. The pattern of assessed characteristics for these two types of perpetrators was mostly consistent with previous research. More men than women were found to be classified as Generally Violent/Antisocial. There was some limited support found in the theoretically-driven approach for a Sexually Obsessed type. Overall, these findings indicate that different factors may cause or maintain the intimate violence perpetrated within this heterogeneous population. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed with regard to prevention, assessment, and matching treatment to perpetrator types
Sonja Longolius, Performing Authorship. Strategies of “Becoming an Author” in the Works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle and Jonathan Safran Foer
No full textIn Performing Authorship. Strategies of “Becoming an Author” in the Works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle and Jonathan Safran Foer, Sonja Longolius analyzes how two writers (Auster and Foer) and two performing artists (Calle and Breitz) have not only been producing works but, in the process, have also consciously “become authors” by creating their own authorial personae. In the beginning of her introduction, Longolius quotes a remark taken from one of Auster’s interviews about hi..
Performing future memory: a critical poetics of globalization
No full textMy dissertation contends that poets and performance artists of the Americas have been at the forefront of exploring the psychic and bodily effects of neoliberal globalization. More than just a set of market-driven policies aimed at privatization and deregulation, neoliberalism is a perceptual regime. Invoking globalization experts such as David Harvey, I argue that neoliberal globalization has produced profound changes in the way we experience time and space, and that these changes require new aesthetic forms. In countering the erasure of cultural memory, disruption of local environments, and omnipresent spectacle of commodity fetishism that characterize neoliberalism as a spatiotemporal regime, the poets and performance artists I study—Dionne Brand, Ricardo Dominguez, Coco Fusco, Ana Mendieta, Nancy Morejón, Adrienne Rich, Ed Roberson, Cecilia Vicuña, and Raúl Zurita—engage this transformation of the sensible. Historically framed by two September 11th tragedies, my dissertation opens with the US-backed 1973 coup in Chile—that brutally implemented a neoliberal mode of governing—and closes with the 2001 World Trade Center attacks. The works that constitute my archive explore exile, displacement, alienation and cultural amnesia in order to reenact and revise earlier hemispheric moments of colonization and expropriation. While recalling legacies of slavery, indigenous genocide, and imperialism, the poems and performances I analyze also suggest different futures; at the heart of these formal experiments is a desire for new modes of social being that find their expression in textual and corporeal performances. While the novel remains the privileged genre of literary globalization studies, my project maps the complex ways in which poetry and performance, through multi-sensory techniques and tropes of touch, explore globalization as an embodied experience. As such, a major goal of my project is to traverse the gap between the abstractions of globalization discourse and the localized particulars of corporeal and textual performance. The unique temporal register this critical poetics achieves—in its accessing of repressed histories and geographies to pose new political futures—is what I refer to as ‘future memory.’Ph.

No full text|Let Your divinity shine on my intellect by giving it divine knowledge,|and on my will by imparting to it the divine love|and on my memory with the divine possession of glory – Prayer of St. John of the Cross|St. John of the Cross was a member of the Carmelite Order, priest and proclaimed "Mystical" Doctor of the Church. Born in Spain in 1542, he is also known in Spain as one of the most recognized authors of spiritual writings. Two of his best known poems are his Spiritual Canticle and The Dark Night also known as the Dark Night of the Soul. Partnering with St. Teresa of Avila, during this time of the Counter-Reformation in Spain, he was influential in reforming the Carmelite Order becoming known as the Discalced Carmelites following a stricter and more contemplative rule. This is significant as it resulted in conflict and division in the Order which led to his imprisonment. While imprisoned in a very small cell and mostly in the dark, John began to write his Spiritual Canticle. No doubt, the trials he endured while living his life, influenced the writing of The Dark Night describing the steps of growing to spiritual maturity. His prayer, to let the divine light shine on his intellect, desiring divine knowledge authored his life. It was the source of authoring more life through his writings and by the witness of his life responding the voice of God.|What is it to "author life?" The Latin origin of the word "author," auctor, from augere, means to increase, originate, or promote. To author is to go to the origins, the source, the point of beginning. St. John of the Cross, through his deep contemplative life and prayer tapped into the Origins of Life, the Creator, God, who increases and expands as Love. That Love of God expanded came to us as Jesus. John was divinely inspired tapping into the well-spring of the Creators love to live Jesus.|I can imagine the words of our Psalm today, teach me your ways, O Lord, was constant on the lips of St. John.|Your ways, O Lord, make known to me;|Teach me your paths,|Guide me in your truth and teach me,|For you are God my savior.|So, too, we find the words of Balaam who gave voice to his oracle, the Spirit. The utterance of one who hears what God says and knows what the Most High knows of one who sees what the Almighty sees…Divine inspiration, the Origin of Life, gives Balaam the authority, the power to proclaim the will of God. Balaam foretells, A star shall advance from Jacob, and a staff shall rise from Israel. Jesus, THE AUTHORITY, will walk the earth. Of one who sees what the Almighty sees, enraptured, and with eyes unveiled, I see him, though not now; I behold him, though not near…|Jesus continues to be challenged in the Gospel with the question, by what authority are you doing, these things? In time they will know that Jesus is the Author of Life. He is AUTHORITY. In him, through him and with him we live and have our being. His Spirit is alive and active within each one of us. Jesus empowers us to proclaim his presence, his word and together in mutuality be co-authors in the on-going creation of our world.|A star shall advance from Jacob. Perhaps this Advent Season is a reminder that a star may be sleeping within uswaiting to rise and shine to proclaim God is with US in our world at this time.|Let Your divinity shine on my intellect by giving it divine knowledge,|and on my will by imparting to it the divine love|and on my memory with the divine possession of glory – Prayer of St. John of the Cros
