I Care for You, Who Cares for Me? Transitio nal Services of Filipino Live-in Caregivers in Canada
Filipino women dominate the Live-in Caregiver Program in Canada since the 1990s. Although their entry is facilitated by a temporary work visa with stringent conditions under this program, there is an evident desire to move through the next immigration route as landed immigrants. The transition from temporary workers to permanent residents appears crucial especially in the lives of Filipino women who pave the way for the sponsorship, settlement, a…
The Heritage-scape: Unesco, World Heritage, and Tourism
Tourism today is recognized as the largest and fastest-growing industry in the world, capable of producing positive social and economic transformations especially in developing countries. Yet for UNESCO, it works in conjunction with World Heritage sites for a far more ambitious goal: to produce "peace in the minds of men" by creating a new, global identity." "Anthropologist and former tour operator Michael Di Giovine draws on ethnographic fieldwo…

Standardisation of the Kannada Version of the Crown-Crisp Experiential Index (Ccei)
The Crown-Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI), formerly called the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire (MHQ) was standardised in Kannada. The Kannada version showed adequate reliability and yielded normative data comparable to the original version. The CCEI scores distinguished the normal group from another group of neurotic patients
Dynamic Functionalism: Strategy and Tactics
Over the last several decades, functional theory in the social sciences has fallen into disfavour. Alleged to be a static form of theory incapable of explaining social change, methodologically impotent and ideologically tainted, functionalism stands accused of being socially and politically reactionary. In this book, Michael Faia challenges the view that functionalism should be rejected. He claims that because functional theories are causal, mult…
Three Sociological Traditions
Selection by Certification: A Neglected Variable in Stratification Research
Recent studies of status attainment have relied heavily in the general linear model. In the relationship between status and education, important departures from linearity may occur as a result of certification screening (of preference) by employers; yet many researchers have virtually ignored this process and the possibility that it may serve several functions. Data from the 1977 NORC General Social Survey show that academic certification has a s…
Teaching, Research, and Role Theory
The issue of publish-or-perish is essentially a matter of the complementarity (or lack thereof) of teaching and research roles. Role complementarity is a traditional concern of social psychology, and theories of role complementarity are applicable to the teaching-research relationship. While available evidence shows little objective incompatibility of teaching and research roles, it is possible that misperceptions of incompatibility may act as a …

Discrimination and Exchange: The Double Burden of the Female Academic
The Myth of the Liberal Professor
Although social science professors are substantially further left politically than members of other professions, the popular stereotype of the professor has many exceptions. Physical and biological scientists, particularly those living outside the South, often identify with the Republican party and support Republican presidential candidates. A majority of professors describe themselves as being to the right of liberalism-a tendency that seems to …
