Learning separately, learning together
Pedagogical approaches to student racial conflict in the classroom
The majority of higher education faculty value diversity in the classroom; however, the majority of faculty also report making no or few changes in their classroom practices to deal with diversity issues. Faculty are in a position to facilitate classroom diversity in such a way that pedagogically avoids, supports, or challenges students’ learning about race and dealing with overt or covert racial conflict. Some faculty take on this challenge vigo…
Psychometric evaluation of the impact of cancer (IOC-CS) scale for young adult survivors of childhood cancer
Peer Facilitators as Border Crossers in Community Service Learning
Community service learning offers students the opportunity to cross socially constructed and epistemological borders of power and privilege, allowing them to come into contact with groups of people who are different from themselves and to learn in different ways. Peer facilitators, undergraduate student instructional leaders who guide others through these encounters, often experience especially powerful border crossing experiences, both by virtue…
Thematic Evidence of Psychosocial Thriving in Childhood Cancer Survivors
Advances in medical treatment for childhood cancer have resulted in dramatically increased survival rates and a growing population of long-term survivors. Until recently, researchers reported primarily negative psychosocial sequelae of childhood cancer. Emergent conceptual frameworks propose that the assumption of pathology or long-term deficits in functioning might obscure an understanding of the full range of outcomes. Using qualitative intervi…
A psychometric analysis of the Quality of Life-Cancer Survivors (QOL-CS) in survivors of childhood cancer
Gender Roles and/or Styles in Crisis
Despite a proliferation of research with families of children with cancer and gender differences in parental coping, few studies have explicitly explored the experiences of fathers of children with cancer. Using several different data collection efforts, including semistructured in-depth interviews and open workshops, this integrative analysis views fathers’ experiences through the lens of gender. Findings suggest that fathers’ experiences can be…
Cancer and Self-Help
Written for and about the special population of parents of children with cancer, this book explores the remarkable effectiveness of self-help groups and profiles their rapid rise as a resource complementing traditional health care. Mark A. Chesler and Barbara K. Chesney draw on their own experience as members of such groups and on a combined 30 years of research on self-help. They provide essential information for families of children with cancer…
Dealing with Prejudice and Conflict in the Classroom
A classroom exercise designed to explore students' attitudes and encounters with homophobia and discrimination against gay males and lesbians asked students to wear a pink triangle for one day. Students reported their internal conflicts-fears and anxieties--about identifying with gay and lesbian people, their external conflicts-encounters with peer pressure and prejudice--and their own efforts to assert a progressive and anti-discriminatory stanc…

Participatory action research with self‐help groups
Conclusion I have not sought here to make a case for participatory action research as the only mode for inquiry and action with self‐help groups, but to raise issues that may help counter the dominance of the conventional model and encourage a more pluralistic scientific enterprise. Researchers must be competent in and free to use (or try to use) whatever paradigms and techniques best fit their own epistemological preferences, the phenomena they …
Social Science in Court
The 1954 landmark school desegregation decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, v. Board of Education, was part of one of the most extensive and tumultuous social/legal movements in the nation s history. The authors of this study employ the school desegregation movement to examine the role of social scientists, and social science, in the litigation process. Covering seventeen desegregation cases in litigation after 1970, they bring together the perspe…

The medical context of parental coping with childhood cancer
This research assessed the extent to which contextual factors, especially the medical context, are related to the use of specific coping strategies by 74 parents of surviving children with cancer. Parents reported that they coped reasonably well by using information-seeking, problem-solving, help-seeking, maintaining emotional balance, relying on religion, being optimistic, denying, and accepting. More highly educated parents tended to use proble…
Stress, Coping, and Marital Functioning among Parents of Children with Cancer
In individual interviews and questionnaires, 32 married couples provide information regarding their experiences and strategies for coping with their children's cancer. This report examines the association between medical stress, personal coping strategies, coping strategies of spouses, congruence of the couple's coping patterns, and their assessments of marital functioning. Most informants report that family cohesion is strengthened by their expe…
Difficulties of Providing Help in a Crisis
Parents of children with cancer experience substantial stress over a long period of time. One way that parents cope with such stress is to seek social support from various sources, especially from close friends. Interviews with a sample of these parents, as well as with some of their close friends or informal “helpers,” illustrate the difficulties involved in both seeking and providing help in the midst of a crisis. Among the major difficulties p…
Methods of Presenting Scientific Evidence in Court
This article presents and analyzes lawyers' and scientists' views of the advisability of using alternatives to the party witness format (e.g., scientific panels) in school desegregation cases. Scientists' and attorneys' desires to control the presentation of evidence and courtroom interaction is one factor explaining their preference for panels or party witness formats. In addition, control is seen as a means of influencing several other issues: …

The Relevance of "Irrelevant" Testimony
Why do attorneys utilize social science experts in school desegregation cases? Although experts often testify for both parties in these cases, plaintiff lawyers are more likely than defense lawyers to call upon them. Plaintiff lawyers appear to have easier access to a network of scholars willing to testify. Moreover, plaintiff lawyers have a set of social theories and legal strategies that often requires the use of social science expertise. Altho…
Political Conflict in Applied Scholarship
Social scientists recognize that applied scholarship often generates political conflict, yet these conflicts have not been systematically studied. This paper investigates two types of political conflict experienced by social and educational scientists who testified as expert witnesses in school desegregation cases in the United States. Personal political conflict results from the perception of expert witnesses that their political stance is at od…
