The experience of disabled and non-disabled students on professional practice placements in the United Kingdom
There are limited comparisons between the experience of disabled students in higher education and their non-disabled peers, particularly on practice placements. This article presents the results of such a comparison, across six professional disciplines in one UK university. The results revealed that both disabled and non-disabled students reported positive placement experiences and also similar difficulties. Such difficulties were exacerbated for…

An end of innocence: African-American high school protest in the 1960s and 1970s
This paper considers African-American student protests in secondary schools during the 1960s and early 1970s. Taking a national perspective, it charts a growing sense of independence and militancy among black students as they made the schools a focal point of activism. Activist students challenged established civil rights organisations on a variety of questions. They also engaged in an escalating series of protest activities to make schools chang…

Being a Woman: Perspectives of Low-German-Speaking Mennonite Women
Understanding the beliefs and knowledge related to women's sexuality is important when working with unique religious groups in order to provide culturally appropriate care. An exploratory, descriptive qualitative study generated knowledge, beliefs, and practices related to menstruation, ovulation, and family planning among Low German-speaking (LGS) Mennonite women (n = 38). There is a pervasive silence that surrounds sexuality among this group, w…

Marriage among African American Women: A Gender Perspective
Research on African American families throughout the twentieth century has focused largely on the prevalence of single-mother families. Much debate has focused on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of these families, yet rarely have scholars sought to analyze the marital decision-making process of Black women. In this paper I provide a gender perspective on the roots of a "non-marriage ethos" among African American women that dates back t…

Rational Choice in Medicaid Managed Care: A Critique
Market-based health care policies cast patients as active decision-making consumers who are able to choose among health plans and select the highest quality and lowest priced providers. Embodied in the Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Study (CAHPS), a national policy initiative based on assumptions of rational choice, such a model has recently been extended to low income populations enrolled in the U.S. Medicaid program. This paper describes a…

Class, Race, and Gender Dimensions of Child Rearing in African American Families
African American family scholarship uniformly attests to the immense importance of children in Black families (Anderson, 1991; Billingsley, 1992; Burton, 1990; Nobles, 1985; Staples & Johnson, 1993). More than one third of the 30 to 35 million Black Americans in the United States are children younger than age 18 (Pinkney, 1993) and, as Nobles (1985) has pointed out, they are the very heart of the African American family

Parenting in Black and White Families: The Interaction of Gender with Race and Class
It is widely believed that gendered expectations are communicated to children in the process of socialization. However, there is reason to ask whether and how gender is constructed in Black families. An early perspective that still continues to inform some contemporary research is assimilationism, which assumes that Black people embrace and pass on to their children the gender norms of the dominant white society. The Afrocentric perspective chall…
Managing Sickle Cell Disease in Low-Income Families
As many as 30,000 African Americans have sickle cell disease (SCD). Though the political activism of the 1960s and a major 1970s health campaign spurred demands for testing, treatment, and education programs, little attention has been given to how families cope with SCD. This first study to give SCD a social, economic, and cultural context documents the daily lives of families living with this threatening illness. Specifically, Shirley A. Hill ex…
Valiant Girls and Vulnerable Boys: The Impact of Gender and Race on Mothers' Caregiving for Chronically Ill Children
Notions of gender are embedded in the social structure and often subtly affect our views and expectations in virtually every area of life. It is only gradually, as a consequence of an emerging scholarship primarily focused on women, that social scientists are coming to appreciate the full significance of gender in the organization of social life. As part of this work, the role of gender is in the provision of home care for chronically ill childre…
Motherhood and the Obfuscation of Medical Knowledge: The Case of Sickle Cell Disease
This study examines how low-income African American mothers of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) cope with the reproductive implications of having passed a genetic disease on to their children. Based on in-depth interviews with 29 African American mothers, I found that most mothers knew about SCD prior to having a child with the disease; many knew they were carriers of the sickle cell trait. In explaining why this knowledge did not lead the…
