  • Ambiguous loss after shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma

    K Powell, Kimberly A Powell et al.ARTICLECommunication Quarterly2020

    Shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT) is the number one cause of child abuse related deaths in the United States. This study, based on qualitative interviews with 35 birth parents of SBS/AHT survivors, employs grief management and dialectical theory to explore the ambiguous loss experienced by parents. Because their child is still alive, and the loss is the experience of raising a formerly healthy child, the ambiguous loss experience…

  • Framing Islam/Creating Fear

    Open AccessK Powell, Kimberly A PowellARTICLEReligions2018

    Powell’s 2011 study of media coverage of 11 post-9/11 terrorist events argued that a thematic framing exists which results in a model of media coverage of terrorism that is different for acts of terror committed by Muslims than by non-Muslims. This pattern connects terrorism to Islam, thus creating a fear of the “other” and aids terrorists in achieving their goal of creating a climate of fear. This study examines the 11 terrorist events since the…

  • Composing Sound Identity in Taiko Drumming

    Open AccessK Powell, Kimberly A PowellARTICLEAnthropology & Education Quarterly2012Referências: 26

    Although sociocultural theories emphasize the mutually constitutive nature of persons, activity, and environment, little attention has been paid to environmental features organized across sensory dimensions. I examine sound as a dimension of learning and practice, an organizing presence that connects the sonic with the social. This ethnographic study of taiko drumming underscores an acoustemological sense of knowing that configures the practice a…

  • Framing Islam

    Open AccessK Powell, Kimberly A PowellARTICLECommunication Studies2011

    Since 9/11 there have been 11 terrorist events on U.S. soil that occurred or were stopped on the planned day of attack. This study of news coverage of those terrorist events revealed a thematic pattern of terrorism coverage in which fear of international terrorism is dominant, particularly as Muslims/Arabs/Islam working together in organized terrorist cells against a “Christian America,” while domestic terrorism is cast as a minor threat that occ…

  • Uncertainty management and adoptees' ambiguous loss of their birth parents

    Open AccessK Powell, Kimberly A Powell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2005Citada por: 35Referências: 37

    According to the National Adoption Information Clearing House (2000; http://www.calib.com/naic/statistics.htm) 120,000 children each year are adopted in or into the US. Much has been written about the attachment and adjustment issues adoptees experience, yet there has been no comprehensive study on the loss felt by adoptees as they reach adulthood. This study of 54 adult adoptees extends the literature on uncertainty management and ambiguous loss…

  • Ambiguous Loss

    Open AccessTamara D Golish, K Powell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2003Citada por: 21Referências: 27

    This study used a dialectical framework to examine the communication of family members who experienced the ambiguous loss of a premature birth. The parents' uncertainty about their baby's prematurity was exacerbated by contradictory feelings of joy and grief, and efforts to communicate the complicated experience to family members. The parents of premature babies underwent various grief emotions as they mourned the loss of a full-term pregnancy an…
