  • America's Public Philosopher: Essays on Social Justice, Economics, Education, and the Future of Democracy

    William J MeyerARTICLEAmerican Journal of Theology &…2022

    One would certainly be excused if they did a double take when seeing John Dewey listed as the author of a new book in 2021. But one's initial surprise is rewarded upon further examination of this recent edited collection of some of Dewey's many short public writings. Specifically, this new volume is edited and introduced by Eric Thomas Weber, who is a Dewey scholar and public intellectual at the University of Kentucky. In his Introduction, writte…

  • Might Community be the Key to Unlocking the Social Potential of Bioarchaeology

    Open AccessWilliam J MeyerARTICLEArcheological Papers of the…2017References: 55

    From the perspective of social archaeology, it seems bioarchaeology has been slow to recognize its social-interpretive potential. However, I think that "community" might be the key to unlocking this potential. As an interested outsider, I try here to explain the motivations and priorities of social-interpretive archaeologies, and to place the papers in this volume within the broader network of anthropological and archaeological theory. I also com…

  • Retrospective Study of the Management of Childhood and Adolescent Gender Identity Disorder Using Medroxyprogesterone Acetate

    Mechibelle M Lynch, Mili M Khandheria et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2015References: 1

    GnRH analogues are the standard therapy but expensive therapy for the suppression of pubertal changes in transsexual individuals. In the 1960s, medroxyprogesterone acetate was found to be efficacious in treating central precocious puberty by inhibiting the secretion of gonadotropins and/or interfering with gonadal steroid synthesis. To avoid the adverse effects and prohibitive cost of gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues, this study utilized …

  • We are ordinary men’: MSM identity categories in Tbilisi, Georgia

    William J Meyer, William Meyer et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2010

    Men who have sex with men remain largely absent from the health statistics of many Eastern European countries. This relative dearth compared to other parts of the world may be attributed to the generally hidden nature of this population. The tendency to employ Western sexual identity labels, rather than locally meaningful categories of identity, may also make it difficult to identify men who have sex with other men. In a pilot study of HIV risk i…

    Open AccessWilliam J Hoyer, Margret M Baltes et al.ARTICLEHuman Development2009

    Conceptions of learning have changed considerably during the past decade of psychological research and theorizing. Similarly, conceptions of development, traditionally understood in terms of organismic (active organism) or mechanistic (reactive organism) metaphors, have also changed. Recently, dialectical and ecological approaches to psychological development have appeared. A symposium was presented at the American Psychological Association meeti…

  • Secrecy and risk among MSM in Tbilisi, Georgia

    Elizabeth C Costenbader, David Otiashvili et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    There is concern that the tremendous economic, social, and political upheavals that the Republic of Georgia has undergone in the years since the fall of the Soviet Union may have created an environment fertile for HIV transmission. Notably absent from official statistics and HIV-related research in Georgia is discussion of men who have sex with men (MSM) and, therefore, little is known about the MSM population or its potential to acquire or trans…
