  • Volunteer roles and the benefits of volunteering

    Catherine Leviten-Reid, Catherine Leviten‐reid et al.ARTICLECommunity Development2016Citada por: 7Referencias: 28

    This article explores if, and to what degree, being involved in different kinds of volunteer tasks in nonprofit housing cooperatives affects the development of one’s capabilities, social ties, and ability to influence the housing in which one lives. A unique data-set based on an evaluation of cooperative housing programs was used, and data were analyzed using logistic regression. Serving on the board of directors, organizing social events, and as…

  • Exploring Organizational Form in the Affordable Rental Housing Sector

    Open AccessCatherine Leviten-Reid, Catherine Leviten‐reid et al.ARTICLEVoluntas Revista Internacional de…2015Citada por: 3Referencias: 5

    The nature and benefits of different kinds of affordable rental housing providers, and particularly for-profit housing developers, have been contested by practitioners and scholars. We contribute to this debate by exploring whether the missions, the resources harnessed to build housing, the human resources, and the involvement of residents in decision-making differ based on organizational form. Using case study design, we examine two third sector…

  • The Merchant Triangle in Transition

    Robert A Campbell, Robert CampbellARTICLEHistoire sociale2015Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    À partir de la fin du XVIII e siècle, la gestion de la pêche à la morue au Cap-Breton a été dominée par la Charles Robin and Company, une entreprise commerciale de Jersey. Dans les dernières décennies du XIX e siècle, un certain nombre de changements se sont produits, tant en ce qui concerne la propriété de l’entreprise qu’en ce qui a trait aux progrès économiques au Cap-Breton. La période se caractérise à la fois par la persistance de traditions…

    Open AccessRobert A CampbellARTICLECanadian Review of Sociology/Revue…2008Citada por: 4Referencias: 5

    Deux enquêtes ont été effectuées auprès d'étudiants de deux universitiés canadiennes sur leurs perceptions des relations entre la religion, la science et le sens de la vie. Les données démontrent que, tandis que les étudiants pensent régulièrement à la signification de la vie, leurs opinions sur la religion par rapport à la science ne laissent voir que de bas niveaux de corrélation. Les étudiants ont indiqué que leur plus grande préoccupation par…

  • Winning Women's Votes? The Incremental Track to Equality

    R Campbell, Robert A CampbellARTICLEParliamentary Affairs2005Citada por: 20

    IN the incremental track to equality for women, small and gradual improvements to their position in politics, at work, and in their pay and benefits may lead, eventually, to parity between women and men. In this conceptualisation women are content to wait for equality through decades of gradual change until a new equilibrium between the sexes is achieved. The alternative fast track strategy uses affirmative action to jump-start the equality proce…

  • Preparing the Next Generation of Scientists

    Open AccessRobert A CampbellARTICLESocial Studies of Science2003Citada por: 19Referencias: 5

    The present paper examines aspects of how students are trained to be scientists during their years in graduate school. The data were collected through open-ended interviews with academic research scientists, and the framework for analysis is provided by a generic social process scheme. My objective is to demonstrate how the social process of managing students is integral to our understanding of the day-to-day activities of scientists. Among the f…

  • A Narrative Analysis of Success and Failure in Environmental Remediation

    Open AccessRobert A CampbellARTICLEOrganization & Environment2002

    In this article, the author constructs a sociological narrative as a means of describing and analyzing a project to incinerate an estimated 700,000 tonnes of toxic sludge created as a byproduct of a century of steel making in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. On one level, the author’s objective here is to document some of the events that have taken place at what is considered one of the worst toxic sites in Canada. On another level, though, the autho…

  • The Truth Will Set You Free

    Robert A CampbellARTICLEJournal of Contemporary Religion2001Citada por: 5Referencias: 9

    This article explores the notion that science can be viewed as a religion and that our understanding of science will be enhanced, if we study it in the same manner that we use to study any other religion. More specifically, it builds on concepts developed by Max Weber in his analysis of salvation religions to describe some ways in which science promises liberation and the institutional conditions under which that liberation will take place. While…

  • Georges Bataille's Surrealistic Theory of Religion

    Robert A CampbellARTICLEMethod & Theory in the Study of…1999Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    Georges Bataille offers a perspective on religion that emphasizes what might be considered the most corrupt and undesirable elements of human existence. In a previous issue of this journal, Carl Olson (1994) presents an analysis of Bataille's theory of religion that distorts its significance by solely drawing attention to what Olson identifies as its postmodern and immoral nature. The purpose of this article is to balance some of the excesses exp…

  • Postmodern Iconography and Perspective in Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula

    Carol Corbin, Robert A CampbellARTICLEJournal of Popular Film and…1999Referencias: 5

    Texts are always embedded in context and thus reflect the culture and societal norms of their historic period. Likewise, the representation of a historical text reflects the current collective consciousness as much as it does the original text. As Norman Denzin indicates, echoing Jameson, Barthes, and others, the dominant art form of the twentieth century is not literature but film. Thus, to understand what is going on around us, we would do well…

  • Managing the Marginal

    Robert A CampbellARTICLELabour / Le Travail1999Citada por: 2

    Little historical work has been done in Canada on public drinking in general and public drinking after prohibition in particular. For British Columbia this neglect is a real oversight because hotel saloons were transformed into hotel beer parlours after prohibition. The first parlours opened in Vancouver in 1925, and, like saloons, they catered to a working-class clientele. Parlours held sway until 1954 when a new Government Liquor Act provided f…

    Robert A Campbell, Robert CampbellREVIEWThe Russian Review1977

    In the nineteenth century, skeptics wondered whether socialism could succeed at all. After the Bolshevick Revolution launched a first great experiment in building socialism, it was conceded that a socialist economy could indeed allocate the nation's resources with reasonable effectiveness and could promote a high rate of growth. But in the 1970s technological change emerged as the chief topic of interest in economic circles, and socialism's poten…
