Voices from the stories untold: Lesbian,gay, bisexual,trans, and queer college students' experiences with campus climate

ABSTRACT

Twelve self-identified college students within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) spectrum were interviewed on campus climate perceptions and their experiences of discrimination and isolation at their university. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify themes from the data. This process resulted in the emergence of three themes, identified as discrimination, isolation, and avoidance. The most salient experiences of discrimination and isolation reported by participants came from within LGBTQ organizations or from lesbian or gay male individuals that participants sought out for social support. LGBTQ intra-community discrimination was considered to be particularly damaging to participants' sense of belonging and involvement within the LGBTQ community. Discrimination and isolation from straight-identified organizations or individuals was reported mostly in the context of fraternities/sororities and religious organizations. Furthermore, actions by members of these latter groups caused participants to avoid these groups out of expectations of negative interactions. These results inform empirical research to bring awareness to acts of discrimination that continue to take place within the university toward LGBTQ students. Specific implications for social work practice with LGBTQ college students and future research on diverse LGBTQ populations and resources are discussed.     

Making connections: Severe mental illness and closeness with other people

Much has been written about social lives of people with severe mental illness (SMI). Before social lives can flourish, however, people with SMI must first get close to other people. We studied this closeness by holding three hour-long focus groups at Fountain House, a community mental health agency in New York City. We found that closeness between two people with SMI is challenging because someone with depression, for example, may have trouble understanding someone with a different disorder (e.g., schizophrenia). Romantically, closeness is also challenging—SMI is hard to explain to partners. In the workplace, closeness is difficult because SMI can alienate co-workers. It could push them away. In mental health programs, we found that closeness has more of a chance to develop (1) during evening and weekend activities; (2) when activities are planned often enough to prevent isolation; and (3) when staff reach out to people before extended absence causes distance.

无根的欲望焦虑与重新开门-澳门文学的一个侧面

澳门与祖国的长期隔绝,使得澳门文学创作显现出苍白、通俗、流行、时尚,只有欲望的痛苦、焦虑的和把玩,只有轻描淡写的“无根”的描摹和感叹,缺少深邃的文化意蕴和积淀。澳门的回归,预示着澳门文学创作重新接续中国文化之根,扎根于祖国文化土壤之中的澳门文学必然前程似锦。     

被疏离的高度－论中国新文学第一位女作家陈衡哲

陈衡哲是中国新文学第一位女作家,也是现代文化史上第一位女大学教授.在"五四"个性自由、妇女解放的思潮中,陈衡哲对于女性问题做出了大量的思考--不仅在时间上领先于其他作家,在探索的深度与所达到的高度上更具有相当的超前性.作为一名学界、文坛两栖的杰出知识女性,她的创作呈现出不同于大多数同时代女作家的清澄、理性气象.由于种种社会历史原因,陈衡哲研究始终比较薄弱.本文从现代女性意识的角度对她的作品进行分析,在比较的视野中揭示出她的思想高度.     

长城不是闭关自守的符号

如何评价长城的价值和作用,是一个值得继续探讨的重大课题。最近,有人把明朝缺少和田玉归咎于大修长城,闭关自守,把清朝拥有许多和田玉归功于不修长城,实行开放。长城俨然成为闭关自守的符号,成为一切罪过的祸根。有人还把修长城称为＂大愚蠢＂,彻底否定其价值和作用。其实,长城并不是闭关自守的符号。明清两朝是否得到和田玉,与是否修长城根本无关;修长城的王朝未必闭关自守,不修长城的王朝也未必实行开放;长城的价值和作用,应予历史的肯定。     

评析约翰逊总统时期美国对华政策

约翰逊执政时期表面上美国对华仍然推行传统的遏制和封锁政策,但是实际上随着新的国内外局势的变动,美国原有对华政策的公共观念的一致性遭到破坏.要求改变对华政策的思想逐渐成为主流,而约翰逊政府也开始重新审视对华政策,特别是“遏制但不孤立政策”的提出,正是美国试图改变对华政策的一种努力。尽管这一时期美国对华政策在行动上没有实质性的突破,但却为尼克松政府实现重大调整做了思想和政策的充分准备。

研究委员会决议与60年代中期美国对华政策的调整

20世纪 6 0年代中期 ,美国对华政策有所调整。与此同时 ,美国在中国驻联合国代表权问题上的态度也有所松动。学术界对研究委员会决议在中国进入联合国过程中的作用问题尚缺乏研究。建立研究委员会是比利时、意大利等国家率先提出 ,在不得已的情况下美国同意并支持提案 ,这表明了美国在中国驻联合国代表权问题的态度有所松动 ,同时美国以此采取拖延的战术在一定程度上达到了阻止并延缓中国进入联合国的目的。     

EXPLAINING COMMUNICATION DISPLACEMENT AND LARGE-SCALE SOCIAL CHANGE IN CORE NETWORKS

Decline in the size and diversity of American's core networks has been tied to the displacement of face-to-face interaction and to lower societal well-being. Comparing core networks in the United States, Norway, and Ukraine, we reject the conclusions that frequent in-person contact predicts individual well-being and that large/diverse networks predict broader societal well-being. Individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES) and societies with lower levels of overall prosperity have higher rates of in-person contact. Internet use is associated with higher in-person contact for the socioeconomically advantaged but lower rates of in-person contact for the disadvantaged. In-person and ICT-based contact is generally associated with maintaining a larger network, but in societies of lower well-being frequent interaction impedes the ability to maintain a large network. In contrast to the positive relationship between individual SES and network size, societal prosperity has a negative relationship to network size. Findings are discussed in relation to social support, democratic engagement, and the digital divide.
