You gotta be a man or a girl”: Constructed dialogue and reflexivity in the discourse of violence
At the micro-level, constructed remarks such as "you gotta be a man or a girl" and "you gotta do what you gotta do" position the speaker, his/her interlocutor(s) and now the readers in an interesting Zone of Proximal Development Within the discourse of prisoners such remarks are framed within, and in relation to the central power struggle in prison life: Staying alive.

Assessing achievements in place-based initiatives – developing a tailor-made tool
Assessing achievements of place-based initiatives (PBIs) has become increasingly important in contemporary evaluation practice. While key characteristics of successful PBIs have been described in the literature, the practicalities of assessing implementation progress across multiple PBIs under the umbrella of a single program invoke complex challenges. This article presents the process used to develop a tool for assessing implementation progress …

Neither Veiled Nor Exposed: Lessons in Particularity from Reading Lolita in Tehran
This article suggests that particular narratives of Muslim women can contribute to understanding perceptions of the "other." Our readings of and reactions to Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books can create productive dialogue that reduces the tendency to essentialize Muslim women as oppressed. Through associative thinking and free inquiry, readers can enter into the narratives to expose the dangers that women face
Bodies in and out of place: Embodied transnationalism among invisible immigrants – the contemporary Irish in Australia
Migration involves the physical movement of bodies in and out of place. In a world characterised by increased ease of travel and major advances in telecommunications, some have argued that, in the international arena, this movement now occurs in the context of a borderless world. This paper contests this view by emphasising the embodied nature of this movement. The experiences of 203 contemporary Irish immigrants in Australia provide evidence of …
Using system differences to orchestrate change: A systems‐guides intervention model
Successful community‐based interventions require that change agents give attention to the complexities of interwoven systems, described in the literature as complicated or complex, purposeful or purposive. The author further notes the separate standards, norms, principles and/or goals (here‐named systems‐guides ) of systems. This paper describes the author's experience as a consultant to a multi‐system collaboration where observed tensions among …
Telling bits: Silencing and the narratives behind prison walls
The prison cage as home for African American men
Benchmarking disability
Moves towards inclusive schooling in Queensland, Australia have been and will continue to be influenced by a decision reached in January 1996 by the Anti‐Discrimination Tribunal in the case of a 7‐year‐old child. The Tribunal found that the State Education Department's suspension and subsequent exclusion of the child, described as being severely disabled and disruptive, from regular schooling was not unlawful within the definition of the Anti‐Dis…
Discourse of Violence
Speaking of Crime: `I don't Know what Made Me do it
This paper analyzes the autobiographical narratives of criminal acts as told by inmates in a US maximum security prison. It suggests (1) that narrations about crime involve structures that show a speaker's words can place him in a continuum of personal agency in regards to his own actions; (2) that a prisoner's personal agency shifts in relation to modes of telling throughout his discourse; and (3) that a person's autobiographical speech position…

Determinants of depressive symptoms in the early weeks after miscarriage
OBJECTIVES. We tested whether and under what conditions miscarriage increases depressive symptoms in the early weeks following loss. METHODS. We interviewed 232 women within 4 weeks of miscarriage and 283 pregnant women and 318 community women who had not recently been pregnant. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale. RESULTS. Among women who had miscarried, the proportion who were hig…
Multi-Dimensional Ratings of Adult Occupations
Occupations have traditionally been classified on the basis of sex-type, job description, or educational level and potential income. In this study the question of whether occupations can be grouped on the basis of particular social attributes is addressed. Subjects ( N = 118) rated each of 58 occupations on selected social attributes, specifically, prestige, power, complexity associated with an occupation and strength and gentleness required for …
Long‐Range Goals and Language Use: Results of a Student Survey
In a survey conducted at t h e University of Texas at Austin, more than 2,000 lower‐division students of Spanish and Portuguese (97.2 percent of them non‐language majors) were asked to describe their long‐range professional goals, and to speculate how, if at all, the ability to understand, speak, read, or write Spanish or Portuguese could be an asset in obtaining these goals. While over 80 percent of the students surveyed indicated their belief t…
