Heterosexual Attitudes to Homosexuality

Abstract

This study compared attitudes towards homosexuality of 164 students from two faculties at a rural Australian university. Eighty-two percent of participants were aged from 18–24 years, 65% percent of the sample were female with 58% of participants enrolled in a humanities course and 42% in a business course. A cross-sectional design using the Heterosexual Attitudes to Homosexuals (H.A.T.H.) and Fear of HIV/AIDS questionnaires found that for the total sample the major predictors of homophobia were fear of HIV/AIDS, gender, religiosity, and academic major. Business majors were significantly more homophobic than humanities majors. The findings imply that homophobia may be prevalent among university faculties and that staff and student programs need to be implemented to address homophobia, especially among business majors and lecturers.

以讲为学、以会为学:明代书院讲会的新特点

"以讲为学"、"以会为学"是王湛之学区别于程朱理学"以学为学"的一个重要特点。讲会和书院的结合,是王湛及其后学寻求学术自由的明智选择,也寄托着社团书院的讲学精神,乃至政治意愿,理应引起人们的注意。正是他们奉"以讲为学"为利器,立书院,联讲会,才鼓荡起百余年的心学思潮。     

从德国和美国的经验看公立高校与教师的法律关系

本文基于文化传统与改革趋向的视角,比较和分析了德国和美国公立高校和教师法律关系。德国是政治性社会中的行政制衡体系,美国是自治性社会中的平等契约关系。其发展总趋势是：公法人化是其高等学校改革发展的必然方向,教师应成为具有专业自由权利的专门化职业,具有专业自由权利的教师和作为公法人的公立高校在聘任制度下必然建立起平等的契约关系。

Social Work Gerontological Practice: The Need for Faculty Development in the New Millennium

There is a pressing need to upgrade the gerontological knowledge and skills of practicing social workers. Geriatrics and gerontology, as specialized fields of knowledge, have not been sufficiently integrated into formal academic training programs. There are major trends in the health care environment which impact on social work education, including technological advances, a shift from inpatient to outpatient and community care settings, increasing diversity of the older population, and client and family participation in decisionmaking. These trends necessitate social work education to emphasize new content areas in gerontology and the development of new skills in clinical, case management, care coordination, and teamwork. A significant obstacle to the preparation of future social workers to deliver the complex services needed by older adults and their families is a serious shortage of social work faculty in gerontology. Sustained and broad initiatives, such as the John A. Hartford Foundation funded Geriatric Social Work Faculty Scholars Program, are needed to develop academic and practice-based faculty in gerontology. This is crucial if social work is to maintain an important service role in the new millennium.
