Disability as an Intersectional Social Identity
No full textMilo Obourn, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of English, The College at Brockport Milo Obourn is an associate professor of English, where they teach courses in gender and sexuality, disability studies, critical race theory, and American literature. Dr. Obourn is the author of Reconstituting Americans: Liberal Multiculturalism and Identity Difference in Post-1960s Literature and is currently working on a project entitled Disabled Futures: Disability Theory and the Legacies of Identity Politics. Their work has also appeared in American Literature, MELUS, Twentieth Century Literature, Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society, and Contemporary Literature.
Jennifer Ashton, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Education and Human Development, The College at Brockport Jennifer Ashton is an assistant professor of education, where she teaches courses in inclusive and special education. Dr. Ashton uses a Disability Studies in Education framework to study inclusive education, preservice teacher education, and service learning. Her work has appeared in the International Journal of Inclusive Education, the International Journal of Whole Schooling, Classroom Discourse, and Schools: Studies in Education.Intersectionality, first introduced by Kimberle Crenshaw, has become a widely accepted framework for understating how exclusion and discrimination operate through multiple interlocking systems of oppression including but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that impact individuals in multiple complex ways. As disability emerges as a recognized social identity, it is important to bring the existing understandings of intersectionality to light on the lives of those who identify as disabled. Seeing disability as a part of a shared identity that includes race, class, gender, gender identification, and sexual orientation can expand our understandings of learning, community, accessibility, politics, human interdependence, equity, and access within higher education. Looking at ways that ideologies of ableism have contributed to biases in relation to women, queer people, and people of color can also help us understand how these interlocking systems affect all of us, even if we think of them as being concerns for “someone else. “This session will address how disability studies, critical race theory, queer theory, and feminist theory can help us to better understand how systems that exclude, label, or marginalize some of us, limit the freedoms and full humanity of all of us.
GOAL/OUTCOME #1 Gain a greater understanding of intersectionality.
GOAL/OUTCOME #2 Recognize how disability intersects with race, class, gender, gender identification, and sexual orientation to create complex social identities, and how ableism has helped to construct racial, gender, class, and sexual identities.
GOAL/OUTCOME #3 Become more critically reflective about how you understand disability as a social identity in your interactions in our campus community.SUNY BrockportBrockport’s Annual Diversity Conferenc
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
