Item Open Access Examining the Role of Peer and Family Belongingness in the Mental Health of Black LGBTQ + Youth(Taylor & Francis, 0023-09-27) Watts, Keith, J.; Wagaman, M. Alex; Eaton, Andrew D.; Leung, Vivian W.Y.; Craig, Shelley L.A sense of belonging to familial and peer networks is crucial for the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth. Black LGBTQ+ youth report feeling rejected and isolated due to their sexual and/or gender identities. Utilizing linear regression analyses, this study explored the relationship between peer and family belongingness and levels of depression, anxiety, and self-rated mental health among 181 Black LGBTQ+ youth in the United States and Canada . Findings suggest that family and peer belongingness are important factors in Black LGBTQ+ youth's mental health and warrant further study into the protective nature of peer and family relationships for this population.Item Open Access Cultural Imperialism : the United States in Latin America or "The Velvet Boot of the Shameless Hussy"(Grinnell College, 1975) Hixson, Carol G.; Casto, Jane; Halloran, JudeCultural imperialism is a vague, undefined term that has recently come into vogue, primarily in revolutionary circles. Despite the ambiguous, cliche quality of the phrase, it is of the upmost importance for understanding relations between developed and underdeveloped countries. One may take any aspect of this relationship, from the economic to the political, and correctly call it an example of cultural imperialism. All depend on the importation of foreign ideas, technology, and institutions from developed countries, with no thought for their appropriateness to the underdeveloped countries. This paper examines instances of cultural imperialism in Latin America.Item Open Access Camilo Torres - Helder Camara(Carol G. Hixson, 1975-04) Hixson, Carol G.In February of 1966, Camilo Torres-Restrepo, the priest-turned guerilla, was killed during a clash with government troops in Santander Province in Colombia. The government secretly buried his body in an unmarked grave in an effort to prevent his elevation to the state of a martyr. In the face of riots, rallies, and promises of vengeance, coming primarily from students, the oligarchy outwardly lamented the loss of the sheep gone astray. "El Tiempo", one of the primary organs of the oligarchy, wrote, "Unfortunately his very vocation of service, which was generous and unselfish in him, carried him to extremes and led him first to separate from the priesthood and then to change his cassock for the clothes of a guerilla, in a country where today such activity lacks all justification and even all revolutionary significance." In that same year, in Colombia's mammoth neighbor to the east, Brazil, students were protesting the abolition of the direct vote for the upcoming presidential elections. Alarmed at the virulent manner in which the "revolutionary " government was repressing the protests, the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Dom Helder Camara, began establishing for himself the reputation of being the Red Archbishop by supporting the students and by expressing concern over "the violations against the living temple" (physical violence) perpetrated by the government. This paper examines the stories of these two priests-turned-revolutionaries.Item Open Access Bulgaria: Textbook and Reality(PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST BANFF CONFERENCE ON CENTRAL AND EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES, 1977-03-03) Smollett, Eleanor Wenkart; Priestly, T.M.S.Item Open Access Implications of the Multi-Community Production Cooperative for Rural Life In Bulgaria or the Demise of the Kara Stoyanka(Bulgarian Journal of Sociology Vol. 3, 1980) Smollett, Eleanor WenkartItem Open Access RECESSION: ITS IMPACT AND EFFECTS(Social Policy Research Unit, University of Regina, 1983) Saskatchewan Association of Social WorkersThe Role of the Social Worker in Australia and Canada / Ronald Mendelsohn -- Social Policy in Times of Fiscal Restraint: A Canadian Perspective / H.

Hixson, 1984-02-29) Hixson, Carol G.On the eve of the Spanish conquest, complex societies that sought their legitimacy and identity in the past, and pursued the future through study of that past, dominated the area now known as Mexico. Written records were an important means of securing knowledge of the past and the surviving Mayan and Aztec manuscripts reveal their preoccupation with time and with their place in history. This paper, in seeking to demonstrate that the Mexican peoples were on the verge of developing a unified system of writing, and possibly some form of printing, will examine some of the salient features of those manuscripts and the societies that produced them.Item Open Access Bryn Mawr College Library survey, August 22, 1984.(Carol. G. Hixson, 1984-08-22) Hixson, Carol G.Will library patrons be receptive to an online catalog? In a study at Bryn Mawr College Library, users' perceptions of the existing card catalog and their attitudes towards computers were investigated in an attempt to discover the difficulties facing library planners in designing and implementing an online catalog. Results show that users are content with the current card catalog and hesitate changing to a new system. 56% would prefer to keep the card catalog rather than switch to a computerized catalog containing identical information. When the pie is sweetened by indicating that more information and greater convenience could result from an OPAC, only 17% still prefer a card catalog. Studies of use of the public OCLC terminal in Bryn Mawr's main library indicate that confusion and timidity prevent many from utilizing the facility. Greater effort at educating users is needed in order to overcome their resistance to online catalogs.Item Open Access The Welfare State Since 1975(Social Policy Research Unit, University of Regina, 1985) Moscovitch, AllanItem Open Access Settlement Systems in Bulgaria - Socialist Planning for the Integration of Rural and Urban Life(Institute of Cultural and Social Studies, University of Leiden, 1985) Smollett, Eleanor Wenkart; Southall, Aidan; Nas, Peter J.M.; Ansari, GhausItem Open Access Income Inequality in Saskatchewan, 1971-1981: Charting New Research Guidelines in the Relationship Between Poverty Lines, Income Adequacy and Equality(Social Policy Research Unit, University of Regina, 1985) Ternowetsky, GordonItem Open Access An Examination of comparable worth(Nebraska Library Association--College and University Section, 1985-04-26) Hixson, Carol G.; Ellis, JillThe concept of comparable worth is attracting more attention around the country as diverse groups bring pressure for an evaluation of the methods by which an employer or society as a whole determines the value of a particular job. Because comparable worth addresses the inverse relationship between the percentage of women in an occupation and the compensation of the workers, and because the overwhelming majority of librarians are women, librarians have often been in the forefront of efforts to implement comparable worth studies. With the introduction and subsequent defeat in committee of LB206, a bill which would have instituted a pay equity study of state jobs, comparable worth is an issue of immediate concern to Nebraskans and especially to the Nebraska Library Association. The authors explore the concept of pay equity/comparable worth by examining several cases involving librarians and others and by analysing the arguments on both sides of the issue.Item Open Access Tanzania Revisited(Credit Union Central, 1985-05) MacDonald, Carol; MacDonald, TerryThe progress of the development of credit unions is described in relation to the development assistance provided by Credit Union Central of Saskatchewan and the Canadian International Development Agency who began assistance projects 25 years before.Item Open Access Living Without Power(Social Policy Research Unit, University of Regina, 1986) Jeffery, Bonnie; Shadrack, AndyItem Open Access The Crisis of Social Democracy in Canada(Committee on Canadian Labour History, 1986) Conway, JohnItem Open Access Resistance to online catalogs: a comparative study at Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges(American Library Association, 1986-10) Hixson, Carol G.; Williamson, Susan G.; White, HowardSurveys of student and faculty attitudes toward proposed online public access catalogs were conducted in 1984 with largely identical questionnaires at two colleges. Support for the traditional card catalog was strong among both students and faculty at both colleges; only Swarthmore faculty gave majority support to the online catalog. A minority of perhaps one in six may never use the new technology. Resistance to change was proportionately highest in the humanities and lowest in the sciences, with social sciences in between. Respondents were unused to waiting for access to the card catalog and seemed unlikely to tolerate more than brief waits for the online catalog. While unconcerned about keeping online searches private, they did not like the idea of searching as others waited. Perceptions of the online catalog were sometimes positive; many welcomed the idea of terminals in faculty offices and student dormitories. Differences between the two colleges, while not great, may result from Swarthmore's greater experience with campuswide computing.Item Open Access The Economy of Jars: Kindred Relationships in Bulgaria - An Exploration(Ethnologia Europaea, 1989) Smollett, Eleanor WenkartPeople transform inherited cultural patterns to serve their needs under new circumstances. Networks of kindred relationships exemplify this process. Under socialist conditions in Bulgaria, kindred relationships assist in people's transitions from cooperative farming to the working class, and from rural to urban life. Kin connections also contribute to solving life problems for which social solutlons a re not yet adequately institutionalized. Research should examine kin networks in their contemporary roles, rather than viewing the importance of kinship connections as merely an anachronism.
