Poetic Portraiture as Critical Arts-Based Pedagogy and Methodology
We conducted life history interviews with 18 older women about their lives and used poetic portraiture as a form of a poetic inquiry to present women’s stories. Poetic portraits are a representation of an interviewee in verse that focus on embodied aspects of their life story. Graduate students in a relational communication seminar created poetic transcriptions of the interviews as a form of qualitative thematic analysis and used the transcripts …
“Treat me like a person, rather than another number”
Using Feminist Participatory Action Research, graduate and undergraduate students at a midsized, midwestern public university collaborated with investigators on welcoming and inclusive practices in the classroom through focus-group discussions.

Love in Cyberspace
This qualitative content analysis of a systematically selected sample of 200 heterosexual adults aged 60+ years examined older adults' self-presentation in online dating ads and what they sought in a partner.

A comparison of the Health Star Rating system when used for restaurant fast foods and packaged foods

Dating for Older Women
Research over the last 20 years has provided an increased understanding of intimate relationships in later life; however, dating in later life remains largely unexplored. The purpose of this study was to examine the meanings of dating for women in later life. In this study, dating was examined through semistructured, in-depth interviews with 14 women ages 64 to 77 who had all dated in later life. Themes that emerged from an interpretative phenome…

Women narrate later life remarriage
Narrative Processes of Identity Construction
Research strategies are needed that enable investigators to examine linkages between real-time, micro identity processes and longer term, ontogenetic processes. We address this topic in analyses of semistructured interviews with 10 entering university students, continued over a 2-year period. Our ontogenetic narrative analysis was based on Freeman and Robinson's (1990) Freeman, M. and Robinson, R. 1990. The development within: An alternative appr…
Reflections From the Trenches
In this article, we share our challenges and positive experiences of using feminist pedagogy to teach an undergraduate course on gender development. We use a developmental contextual, feminist perspective to address issues related to (a) internalized sexism, (b) contrasts in student's religious beliefs and sexism, (c) students' developmental level, and (d) teaching intersectionality. In response to the challenges, we offer practical applications …
