Finding Freedom and Connection in Arts-Based Collaborative Autoethnography
Drawing upon embodied and feminist knowledge, arts-based research (ABR) is a methodological approach aimed at advancing work that is liberatory both in its findings and its processes. To examine this phenomenon, three social work scholars engaged in a reflective research process to study the meaning of arts-based research through a methodology blending arts, collaborative autoethnography (CAE) and phenomenology. The team explored our own experien…
You Can’t Touch Me, You Can’t Touch Me”: Inter-gender violence and aggression in the PG era of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) programming

Graduate Social Work Faculty’s Support for Educational Content on Women and on Sexism
Social work faculty play an important role in preparing students to address sexism and engage in culturally competent practice with women. This study examines the nature of U.S. and Anglo-Canadian graduate social work faculty's support for content on women and on sexism. Although support appears high for both content areas, results suggest that faculty endorsement for content on women is significantly greater than that for sexism. Further, bivari…

The current study aimed to expand existing approaches by assessing which socialization discourses communicated by parents and peers contribute to sexu…

Contributions of Divergent Peer and Parent Sexual Messages to Asian American College Students' Sexual Behaviors
Receiving more parent sexual communication is generally linked to a later age of first sexual intercourse and less sexual risk taking. However, Asian American youth report minimal parent sexual communication, later sexual initiation, and fewer sexual risks than their counterparts. What contributes to this unexpected pattern of sexual communication and sexual behaviors? To answer this question, we surveyed 312 Asian American college students ages …
Formative Sexual Communications, Sexual Agency and Coercion, and Youth Sexual Health
This article argues that formative sexual communications, and sexual attitudes and behaviors, are important foci in the exploration of the sexual health of young people. The study examines links among sexual messages received from parents and friends, the sexual attitudes of young men and women, and the sexual experiences of those youth. Analyses of data collected from 332 undergraduates suggest that sexual socialization messages are linked with …
You’re Always First a Girl”: Emerging Adult Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Israeli Army
The Israeli army drafts both men and women, and most Israelis complete their military service during their emerging adulthood years. This study examined Israeli women’s experiences as soldiers in the army. Twenty-three women (18 emerging adults, 5 young adults) were recruited using purposive sampling and interviewed about how they experienced their gender and sexuality during their army service. Interviews were analyzed using open and focused cod…
