A Meso-Level Analysis of the Revitalization of the Wusc Student Refugee Program at St. Francis Xavier University
Although millions of community members have come together in various ways to sponsor and resettle refugees for decades, scholars are just now beginning to study why people get involved and how they organize themselves to accomplish the practical, organizational, and emotional tasks community sponsorship requires. This article contributes to this emerging literature with a meso-level analysis of actions taken by one student-led local committee (LC…
Counter-Memory Activism in the Aftermath of Tragedy
Narratives are critical to how people understand themselves and the significant events of their lives. Drawing upon social memory theory and the social constructionist approach to social problems, this study provides a narrative analysis of the counter-memory activism of the Westray Families Group (WFG), which formed after 26 men died in the 1992 Westray mine explosion (Plymouth, NS). Against alternative explanations promoted by more powerful sta…
Profiles of Posttraumatic Growth Following an Unjust Loss
The dominant model of posttraumatic growth (PTG) suggests that growth is precipitated by significant challenges to one's identity or to core assumptions that give one's life meaning, and develops as one goes through meaning-making or schema reconstruction processes. Other perspectives suggest, however, that such growth occurs by other means. We use a numerically aided phenomenological approach to elucidate common profiles of growth in a sample of…

Homeownership and Politics
Marxists and other sociologists alike have suggested that homeowners will be more involved in politics and hold more conservative attitudes than will tenants. However, there has been only limited research done on these topics, with very little of it having to do with Canadians. Underlying this hypothesis is an assumption that homeowners are more socially and economically integrated than are tenants, and that, therefore, homeowners act more conser…
Predicting Coercive Sexual Behavior Across the Lifespan in a Random Sample of Canadian Men
In order to end or at least reduce the amount of sexual violence in our society, it is necessary to identify the factors that play a part in men's sexual aggression against women they know. One hundred and ninety-five men ranging in age from 19 to 82 were randomly sampled from enumeration records of a small Canadian city and completed questionnaires. Overall, 73 percent of men reported never having been sexually coercive. Logistic regression anal…
