What About Me? Theorizing Power and Pushback in Advancing Marginalized Identities
In 2012, the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) received an NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant to improve the career advancement of women. The National Technical Institute for the Deaf, one of RIT’s colleges, had over 30 Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) female faculty members. The project designated a DHH female faculty team with a budget to conduct a self-directed program of development and networking: the DHH Women’s Connectivity…
Patient‐centred care training needs of health care assistants who provide care for people with dementia
It is well documented that Health care assistants (HCAs) provide the most hands-on care to residents in aged care facilities, and play a critical role in the provision of care to dementia residents. Over the last 25 years, a philosophy of person-centred care has become the preferred approach to care and this has meant that HCAs are encouraged to get to know the resident very well. This paper reports the experiences of HCAs in caring for people at…

What Do Social Workers Think about the Palliative Care Needs of People with Parkinson's Disease
Social workers are key professionals in assessing social care need and providing support. However, needs in the palliative care stage of chronic illness are not always well managed. In this study, we set out to examine the social worker's role in the delivery of palliative care to clients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Two focus groups and one individual interview were undertaken with thirteen social workers with experience of working with client…

Self-enhancement, crash-risk optimism and the impact of safety advertisements on young drivers
In Study 1, young drivers (aged between 16 and 29 years, N=314) rated their driving attributes relative to their peers. They also rated their likelihood of being involved in a crash relative to their peers (crash-risk optimism), their crash history, stereotype of the young driver, and concern over another health issue. A self-enhancement bias was found for all items in which self/other comparisons were made. These items formed two major factors, …
The Role of Mentoring Relationships in the Career Development of Successful Deaf Persons
A qualitative study of deaf graduates of Rochester Institute of Technology in New York State who became supervisors in primarily hearing work settings found that having a mentor was a primary and persistent element in their career success. In the deaf individual's early years, generally it was a family member or teacher who conveyed a belief in that individual's abilities, encouraged effort, and helped instill self-esteem and confidence. Parents …

Decontextualizing disability in the crime mystery genre
The depiction of physical impairments in popular culture reflects as well as shapes public attitudes towards persons with disabilities. Scholars have begun to document images of disabilities (the ‘what’) in venues such as literary fiction, motion pictures, advertisements, and television programming but there has been less attention directed toward exploring the techniques through which images are delivered (the ‘how’). In this paper we explore ho…
Offering Support Group Services for Lesbians Living with HIV
In this paper, the authors describe their clinical experiences offering support group services for lesbians living with HIV. Two different group models were used, allowing for comparison of their effectiveness and relevance for this population. One was a closed membership, time-limited group; the other was an open membership, ongoing group. It is hoped that by communicating about the structure, organization, membership, facilitation, process, and…
Maize production, drought and Aids in Monze District Zambia
The 1992 Southern African drought focused the world's attention on the precarious food security situation of that region. In Monze District, southern Zambia, in addition to the drought there was also a serious epidemic of East Coast fever among the cattle, which resulted in the deaths of a large percentage of the district's herd causing further impoverishment among some of the district's poorer households. At the same time, AIDS and HIV disease a…
An Ecological Model of Social Interaction between Deaf and Hearing Students within a Postsecondary Educational Setting
Deaf students are enrolling in postsecondary educational institutions in the United States in greater numbers than ever before. However, attrition rates remain high. Models for explaining persistence in college link success to student integration within the informal and social fabric of their institution. The research reported in this paper is the result of a study of social integration of deaf and hearing students within a residence hall on the …
Mainstreaming the Deaf Student
In most areas of special education, Public Law 94-142 has been hailed as a breakthrough. By stipulating that children with disabilities be educated within the least restrictive environment, the law promotes schooling of these children with their nondisabled peers. However, interpretation of the impact of this law has taken a different turn in the case of people who are deaf. Instead of welcoming the idea of mainstreaming and corresponding closing…

Reflections of a Group of Deaf Adults on Their Experiences in Mainstream and Residential School Programs in the United States
The purpose of this study was to learn about mainstream and residential school programs for deaf students in the United States from the perspective of the deaf person, and to present the experiences of clients of educational services in their own words. Data for this paper were collected through open-ended, in-depth interviews with 25 graduates from the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology (NTID at RIT). …

Social Alienation and Peer Identification
While almost all scholars of the deaf community acknowledge the role of shared experience in the development of that community, few have made it a focus of study. This paper is about the experiences which lead deaf people to seek interaction with each other, and the difficulties they have encountered with the
The Signifying Body
For Rainer, the significance of Cage's contribution to art has nothing to do with allowing viewers to comprehend the excellence of as Cage himself suggests. Instead, Rainer heralds Cage's work because it undermines the determinate and hierarchical organization of meaning in the world of art and in the world, and thereby provides techniques for assessing the ideological functioning of the message, You are leading an excellent life, as one message …

Experimental Studies of Emotional Stress
On the basis of this study, we believe that we have succeeded in developing a methodology and instruments sensitive enough to establish reliable correlations between a standardized psychological stimulus (movie), the experimental subjects' psychological defenses, and responses in the autonomic nervous system and in thyroid function of treated and untreated thyrotoxic patients and controls. Advanced Research Fellow, Foundations' Fund for Research …
