“Mammograms are kind of my pacifier”
Population genetic testing and risk-based screening have the potential to shift how we determine risk and screen for breast cancer. While much attention has been paid to the experiences of individuals who may be at elevated risk for breast cancer, less is known about how those at average risk make decisions about their health. Through qualitative interviews with 30 participants, we explore how those enrolled in a risk-based screening trial who ar…
Diagnosis and the practices of patienthood
Sociologists have a rich history of studying the process of diagnosis and how people experience illness. Yet, the sociology of diagnosis and illness experience literatures have seldom been fully integrated. Instead, these literatures highlight one element of the illness journey, wherein scholars either primarily study diagnostic processes and categories or people's illness experiences. Drawing on empirical studies that examine diagnosis and exper…

Widening the Aperture
The need to “widen the aperture” to consider different types and sources of evidence is paramount to sharpening grantmaking strategies that are in service of those we seek to serve. This article describes an underlying process of identifying and applying equity considerations in the evidence considered for strategy development in the context of a large, national foundation. The aim was to develop a “common evidence base” — the core of which was a…
Learning Circles as a Tool for Participant- Owned Evaluation
Learning circles are an approach where individuals with a common interest meet regularly to learn from each other about a self-identified topic in a format chosen by the group. Honoring a group’s collective wisdom, centering participants’ learning needs, and prioritizing relationships and trust are all features of learning circles. This practice is of increasing interest to funders and evaluators as a tool for practicing learning and evaluation a…
Executive Summaries
Within the last decade there has been an exponential growth of community foundationled giving days; however, scholarship on these efforts is limited.This study found only two giving days led by community foundations in 2009, peaking at 78 in 2020, and plateauing to 71 giving days in 2022.The study found that community foundations located in small towns with smaller populations were able to raise more donations per capita in comparison to larger c…
The Politics of the Hero's Journey
This paper explores introduction to special education textbooks in order to illuminate how they portray the social and political work of special educators, especially in relation to disabled students and adults. This study analyzed five leading special education textbooks used in university teacher education programs using traditional methods of discourse analysis, including line-by-line coding and language-in-use with valuation. The analysis and…

Insights From Deploying a Collaborative Process for Funding Systems Change
Many foundations are seeking to impact root causes of social issues through funding initiatives that are both technically and socially complicated and where past experience is no guarantee of success. These situations exhibit the growing need for more adaptive funding approaches, such as emergent philanthropy. This article looks at an application of emergent strategy at the Colorado Health Foundation. It shares tools used to design the funding ap…
The Art and Science of Place-Based Philanthropy
This article shares insights and implications generated at a convening titled Is This a Better Place? The Art and Science of Place Evaluation. Participants included funders, evaluators, and community partners who came to discuss and share effective learning practices and the role of evaluation in place-based work. Place-based work requires a long-term investment in collaborative partnerships to create, nurture, and sustain local and systemic chan…

Looking
Professor James opens her essay “Looking” with her aging mother's distressed response to the televised images of Ferguson on the evening District Attorney McCulloch announced that Darren Wilson would not be indicted for killing Michael Brown. A St. Louis native, she had left the city as a young woman to flee the twinned violence of sexism and racism and had never resided there again. James juxtaposes her mother's attempt to “not look back” at the…
Parental rights to reasonable chastisement and the European court of human rights
This article examines the implications of the decision of the European Court of Human Rights in A. v. UK in which that court held that the child applicant's rights under article 3 of the ECHR had been breached by the caning he received from his stepfather. The English law on the right of parents to chastise is explored and placed in the wider context of corporal punishment in the UK. The decision of the ECHR is explained and analysed. The compara…

Sex-role differentiation in a female juvenile delinquent population
In a study of 179 prostitutes and other female juvenile delinquents, most subjects were found to be androgynous or undifferentiated in terms of their sex-role orientation. Female subjects with a masculine sex-role orientation were found to have a relatively higher incidence of prostitution. Results raise question about the assumption of a simple and uniformly positive relationship between androgyny and mental health in both adolescent and clinica…

Female sexual deviance
Societal analysis of sex role typing, attribution theory in social psychology, and reaction theory in the sociology of deviance provide theoretical convergences that enable us to focus on career contingencies in the drift toward deviance. In this paper we apply these concepts to a theory of sexual labeling by identifying six early sexual experiences that are empirically shown to shape deviant sexuality in adult women. The responses to a standardi…
Sexuality of deviant females
Research on women has discovered an association between negative sexual experiences in adolescence, low self-image, and subsequent deviant adult life-styles. This article reports on research showing that negative sexual experiences in adolescence occurred significantly more often in a sample of prostitutes than in a corresponding sample of female offenders
Criminal Involvement of Female Offenders
Two theoretical approaches tend to dominate the literature on the manner in which exoffenders reintegrate into society. These are the structural and subcultural models. The structural model (Merton, 1938; Cloward and Ohlin, 1960: Ohlin, 1970) posits that closing of the legitimate opportunity structure leads to secondary deviation and it also traces initial criminality to a discrepancy between means and ends for achieving success goals. The subcul…
Intrafamily Conflict and Delinquency
Using self-report data on delinquency, this article examines two questions. First, is the relationship between family conflict and delinquency stronger for girls than for boys? Second, is conflict in the home directly related to delinquency or is the relationship mediated by one or more of the following variables: (1) parental supervision; (2) identification with parents; (3) beliefs about the law; and (4) social support for delinquency? The effe…

Gender Roles and Delinquency
This paper uses path analytic procedures to compare merits of two different theories of the relationships between traditional sex roles and delinquency involvement. A self-report method was used with 1,002 students in grades eight through twelve of the public schools in a large Southeastern city. Two separate measures of delinquency were used, one for aggressive offenses and one for property offenses. Both the theory of opportunity and social con…

Gender Role Expectations of Juveniles
This paper discusses the development of two five-item Likert scales that classify juveniles' gender role expectations as highly traditional to nontraditional. One is composed of behavioral expectations that juveniles define as traditionally feminine and the other is composed of expectations they define as traditionally masculine. With a sample of junior and senior high school students, correlational and factor analyses of scale items were conduct…
