Crossing the Racial Divide
In interviews in cities and towns across the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, and from Madison to Dallas, members of 40 black and white pairs of friends reflect on how they became friends, how racial issues are addressed, and how their friendships have influenced their views and, in some cases, their actions. Utilizing a sociological framework to examine the friendships, Korgen offers readers a rare glimpse into an even rarer phenomenon and sheds light on important aspects of race relations in America. How do close friendships between blacks and whites develop? Why are cross-racial friendships so rare? How do these friendships navigate the issue of race? Crossing the Racial Divid...
Encyclopedia of Women and Gender, Two-Volume Set
The study of gender differences began in earnest in the 1970s and has since increased dramatically to infiltrate virtually all fields of study in the social and behavioral sciences. Along the way, it was discovered that while women very often think and behave differently than do men, industrialized societies cater to masculine perspectives. The "Psychology of Women" emerged as a field of study focusing on just those areas in which women most often butted against assumed roles. And similarly, in the 1990s, the "Psychology of Men" emerged to focus on the same issues for men.The Encyclopedia of Gender covers all three areas under one cover, discussing psychological differences in personality, c...
Tellen en vertellen
Narratieve verantwoording geniet in de discussie over kwaliteit van zorg een steeds bredere belangstelling. Verhalen spreken meer tot de verbeelding dan cijfers. Vaak wordt daarom een ‘complementaire’ aanpak bepleit: naast ‘tellen’ ook ‘vertellen’ om een goed zicht te krijgen op de dagelijkse zorgpraktijk. Maar er is ook sprake van verlegenheid met het onderwerp. Verhalen over wat mensen in de zorg ervaren, lopen uiteen. Niet alleen binnen een zorginstelling, zelfs op een afdeling; verhalen van professionals verschillen van verhalen van cliënten en die verschillen weer van verhalen van mantelzorgers. Wat kunnen we in het verantwoorden van zorgkwaliteit met verhalen die niet over...
