▼ Agricultural development, in Africa is seen as a vital tool for combating poverty in many households. In this thesis, agricultural development is thus seen as one of the ways in which the Millennium Development Goals 1 & 3 can be achieved. Moreover, the researcher hopes to show the link between transport and the possibilities of socio-economic development in the agricultural sector if and when transportation is facilitated. Furthermore, the need for gender equality and women’s empowerment will be emphasized in agricultural activities, particularly labour.
The study draws from two women-led projects namely, the Lahlapapadi Goat Project and Kwadikwaneng Nursery in the Capricorn District of Limpopo, South Africa. To achieve the objects of this enterprise, the following tasks are undertaken. Firstly, the role of transport in women-led projects is investigated and described, particularly as regards to its possible impact on women lives. Secondly, reasons as to why women despite playing a large role in agricultural production receive very limited recognition. And thirdly, an assessment as to whether women receive adequate support from both the agricultural and transport departments for their agricultural activities is conducted. The broader context of historical ideologies around which gender roles in society are shaped will also be examined with a particular emphasis on transportation so as to show the extent to which such ideologies pose a threat to the development of women-led agricultural projects.
To realize the broader objective and its underlying tasks, the researcher adopted qualitative feminist methodologies. These employ in-depth interviews, focus group discussions in conjunction with visual techniques involving photography and videography. The study’s findings revealed that women are largely not recognized for their labour due to socio-cultural factors, such as patriarchy and subsequent gender stereotyping, that force women to continue in their traditional household roles. Furthermore, transport was found to be an important tool for the improvement of food security and economic status in the lives of women particularly when it complemented the agricultural activities of rural women.

▼ The advent of participatory democracy in South Africa has brought about new forms of
governance and introduced new approaches to development planning. Since 1994, the
functions of local government have expanded to include social and economic
development of communities, sustainable service delivery and the promotion of a safe
and healthy environment. A new culture of local government has had to be nurtured in
order to fulfill this role. Integrated Development Planning was introduced in 1996 as a
form of strategic planning for local government throughout South Africa.
The IDP has met with many challenges and problems in its implementation and this of
course is to be expected of any new system in its implementation stages. Most of the
critics of the IDP have raised concerns as to whether the IDP is a relevant tool to bring
about change in the lives of the people.
This paper has through empirical research explored those challenges and established that
in spite of many challenges and stumbling blocks the IDP has been able to bring about
significant economic and social development in the KZN KwaXimba municipality.
There is however a lot that still needs to be done for the process to be deemed entirely
successful, especially in areas such as transparency of funding and improving community
involvement.

Churches and service delivery in South Africa : the Black Charismatic Church Ministries (BCCMs), as agents for service delivery in the Eastern Cape.

▼ The research presented in this thesis is both a qualitative and quantitative case study of two Black Charismatic Church Ministries (BCCMs) from semi-urban areas in the Eastern Cape Province; one in uMdantsane Township in Buffalo City Municipality, East London and the other in Kwa-Magxaki Township in Nelson Mandela Metropol Municipality, Port Elizabeth. The study examines how these ministries confront the socio-economic challenges of the communities within their areas of operation. It seeks to ascertain whether or not such ministries are current and potential agents for service delivery in the Province. The ministries’ service delivery efforts are examined against the banner of civil society, as agents that can work with destitute communities, local government and other sectors of civil society for better service delivery.
The study was prompted firstly by the prevalence of socio-economic challenges, related to no or poor service delivery in the Province despite government’s efforts and promises. Secondly, it was motivated by government’s call for partnerships with churches and Faith-based Organizations (FBOs) in service delivery (see page 15 Chapter 1). The study is partly ethnographic and used observation, a structured questionnaire and in-depth interviews as data collection methods.
The findings suggest that while the BCCMs are willing to be agents of service delivery, their efforts are clouded by a number of challenges. Whereas a CSO is supposed to serve the society in general, the BCCMs discriminate against non-church members. As beneficiaries of service delivery, communities also are concerned that BCCMs efforts prove to be short-term rather than long term strategies for community development. Furthermore they are uninformed on partnering in service delivery. Local governments also do not have clearly defined operational procedures of this partnership.
This study presents a number of recommendations: the concept of partnership with churches and FBOs in service delivery needs to be revisited with clarity. Secondly, I suggest a Community Indaba, which will be a neutral community desk of equal participation on service delivery directed at community development through combined efforts of BCCMs, Communities, Local Government and Civil Society Organizations/Non-Government Organizations (CSOs/NGOs) in the Province for better realization of BCCMs’ service delivery efforts (see page 179 Chapter 7).

▼ Historically colonizers made several attempts to diminish traditional healers and their practices. This was done despite the fact that before the arrival of colonizers, in many African communities, traditional healers were the sole health care providers. This yielded negative attitudes towards traditional healers that still persist today. However, traditional healers and their practices never ceased. People continued to consult traditional healers for various ailments. Even today, in this era of HIV/AIDS traditional healers continue to play a vital role in health care. Even though there are major advancements in the biomedical health care, traditional healers still provide care to people living with HIV/AIDS.
In chapter two, the study discusses the role of traditional healers in the primary health care in most African communities. Traditional healers are largely involved in the prevention of diseases as well as illnesses. Recently traditional healers are also involved in the prevention and care of HIV/AIDS, despite the fact that they feel that they are largely excluded in most HIV/AIDS activities. Chapter two also highlights International resolutions that have been adopted regarding traditional healers and traditional medicine. This marks the importance of formally recognizing traditional healers as public health care providers at an International level as well as regionally after the Alma Ata International Conference in 1976 on Primary Health Care.
The study was conducted in two areas in Lesotho, Roma and Teyateyaneng. Twenty respondents were interviewed in these areas. The study found out that there are different types of traditional healers in Lesotho who use various methods in diagnosing and treating various illnesses including HIV/AIDS. Diviners use divining bones, herbalists use herbs, faith healers use prayer as well as water. The study found out that traditional healers had different views about HIV/AIDS, particularly the definition of HIV/AIDS and its causes, Witchcraft was strongly recognised as the causal agent of HIV/AIDS. A change in one’s sexual behaviour was reckoned as the major preventative measure. Hence they strongly advocated behavioural change. However they had misconceptions about condoms.
Traditional healers also provide care for people living with HIV/AIDS. In some instances, they provide home-based care, refer patients to hospitals and also encourage their patients to eat healthy.
The study concluded that some of the traditional healers’ practices have positive and negative aspects. Some of the positive features include their advice to reduce sexual partners, sex abstinence particularly among young people. While negative aspects include delay in referring their patients to the hospitals. Traditional healers are not well collaborate, as a result there is no mutual trust amongst them.

▼ This research responds to a body of literature that identifies the epistemological difficulties faced previously disadvantaged University entrants who are insufficiently prepared to successfully master the academic requirements at tertiary institutions in South Africa. The study investigates the impact of the nascent Extended Curriculum Tutorials (ECTs) programme in the Humanities at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg on students‟ academic performance and social integration into the academy. These ECTs were developed and piloted in 2006 and were formally implemented in 2007. the aim of the programme is to articulate access into mainstream study through introducing students to the discursive practices of selected disciplines. They are available as an augmented extension of the existing access programme at the University. The research focuses on the following questions: 1) Are extended curriculum academic access interventions instrumental in the academic success and student development?; 2) What are the students‟ personal and interpersonal experiences within the programme in their social and academic development?; Which pedagogical approach/es are prevalent within the extended curriculum tutorials and 4) What is the role and the use of social capital within the programme? A triangulation of quantitative and qualitative methods was employed for data collection in this study. The findings are based on: 1) A comparative statistical analysis of students‟ assessment marks; 2) A student evaluation of the programme; 3) Participatory classroom observations and 4) in-depth interviews with students and tutors within the programme. The findings reveal that the extended curriculum tutorials are instrumental not only in supporting academic success but also in facilitating personal development.

▼ There is a growing body of knowledge in the field of
sociology of sports and education which speaks to the
positive relationship between youth engagement in organised sports and school performance. These sources
of knowledge are largely confined to the developed countries in Europe and North America addressing the
impact of organised sports on Positive Youth Development (PYD). In a developing context such as South
Africa, which is undergoing rapid transformation from the previous legacy of apartheid, youth are defined as
being at risk especially in light of the vast levels of social and economic inequalities which threatens its
newly found democracy. It is in this context, the study located in a historically disadvantaged high school in
the township of Chesterville in the Metropolitan Area of Durban, examines the role of school sports
engagement as an element of PYD in enhancing school performance.
The study seeks to assess the applicability of PYD principles in a developing and historically disadvantaged
context within a school setting with the purpose of making contribution towards intervention programmes for
the vast majority of South African youth who are considered to be at risk. Using a sample of 100 male and
female learners in Grades 11 and 12 with an equal distribution of sports engaged and non-engaged, the study
tests the principles of two PYD elements in respect of school Competence and Contribution to community.
The study is of an exploratory nature on the applicability of PYD programmes in a context such as South
Africa and does not purport to be conclusive, but instead the merit of a study of this nature is to set the
foundation for future research studies in the fields of
sociology of sports and education in order to intervene
on the different social, political and economic volatility that South African youth are challenged within a
democratic era.

▼ Diversion is one of the programmes instituted within the Child Justice System. Its aim is to make punishment more rehabilitative and restorative. Prior to the Child Justice Bill, juvenile offenders were prosecuted under the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA). In the absence of any provision and consideration for children and their context, the CPA proved to be too harsh when prosecuting juvenile offenders. It is within this context that the need for reform of the CPA was sought, a search for procedure which would solely deal with child offenders and which would be more suited to child offenders. In an attempt to explore this process, the present study investigates diversion as a programme designed for dealing with child offenders within the Child Justice System and perspectives of deviance which underlie diversion. Broadly, the focus of the research has been on the following issues: how the probation officers interpret the different criteria from the Child Justice Bill 70 of 2003 and subsequently the Child Justice Bill 70 of 2007 in order to select the most appropriate form of diversion, understanding of the Child Justice System, how this justice system works and what the justice personnel look for when deciding on an appropriate sentence for the juvenile offender. The research was carried out in South Africa, in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, in a small town known as Port Shepstone, which is an hour s drive from Durban. It gives an in - depth analysis of diversion by explaining the perceptions and opinions of justice personnel on diversion. The thesis further explored the criteria that are used by the probation officers in assessing the juvenile offender for diversion and the nature of the diversion programme selected. Using a qualitative approach I sought to explore different discursive practices, opinions and perspectives within the Child Justice System and particularly within the diversion programme. In an attempt to gain understanding on the above issues, I conducted open - ended interviews with Child Justice System personnel, probation officers and prosecutors.

▼ Domestic workers in South Africa have historically endured a great deal of
inequalities, as a direct result of their role as woman within the traditional patriarchal
family structure and as a result of their socialisation process. This dissertation sets out
to understand the socialisation process that young girls undergo within a traditional
African family that leads them to domestic employment. The aim is to conduct a
sociological analysis of domestic workers. This study seeks to understand the impact
of the socialisation process on the African female in society.

▼ South Africa and Russia achieved two of the most remarkable political transformations in
modern history, yet significant numbers of their citizens feel a longing for aspects of the old
regimes. While there have been some studies of nostalgia among older Russians and South
Africans, the following is the first comparative qualitative examination of the phenomenon
among young members of the countries’ inaugural “born free” generations: those who came
into the world just before or after the fall of Apartheid and Communism, and have had little
or no experience of life prior to regime change. Its purpose is to examine how and why young
people growing up in post-authoritarian transition societies experience, and long for, the past.
I conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with seven South African and five Russian
youths, recruited through purposive sampling, who reflected on the ways in which the recent
past impacts their lives, self-perceptions and socio-political identities. While they differed in
some areas, respondents from both countries identified several broadly shared areas of
nostalgia, clustering around a perceived loss of community, moral values, personal safety and
social trust; and a concomitant rise in individualism, materialism and anomie. Employing a
Marxian engagement with symbolic interactionism and interpretative phenomenological
analysis, I analyse their transcribed testimonies in light of the relevant scholarship on
nostalgia, social memory and transition studies, alongside theories of post-modernity and
critical
sociology. I conclude that their nostalgia may be the product of Russia and South
Africa’s belated and compressed transition from “modern” to “post-modern” societies; a
rebellion against the harsh transition to a Baumanian “liquid” life characterised by economic
precariousness and the fraying of social bonds; and/or an expression of profound ambivalence
that struggles to reconcile nostalgic regrets about the risks and human costs of globalised
capitalist polyarchy, with a hunger to exploit the freedom and opportunities it offers.

▼ With South Africa attaining democratic status in 1994 and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People‟s Republic of China a “new wave” of Chinese migration into the country began (Park, 2009). Although the Chinese migrants and their business enterprises are visible on the streets of Durban's city centre and surrounding towns, their lives seem shrouded with secrecy. This study was therefore conducted with the aim of understanding the social and economic lives of the Chinese traders living and working in the city of Durban. Interviews and participant observation methods were utilised in order to obtain qualitative data. The analysis of the data indicates that the main priority of traders is to grow their business in order to prosper; therefore their social and economic activities revolve round the activity of trading. Although crime and language barriers deter Chinese migrants from being more active within South African society, their "Chinese shops‟ serve as spaces where they negotiate relationships with diverse people, including their workers and customers. Social, distribution and supply networks are also found to be imperative in order for migrants to effectively conduct their business. It was also noted that social networks, knowledge of the English language, positive experiences in the host country and length of time spent in the country contributes to traders adapting to South Africa. This study also indicates that the future of Chinese migrants in South Africa hinges on the micro and macro conditions of the host country, traders overcoming language barriers as well as maintenance of social networks that provide support to the migrant trader.

▼ This thesis explores the relationship between out of school suspensions and court-involvement for youth in Mecklenburg County. Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the concept of implicit bias serve to inform this examination, interpretation, and analysis of the school to prison pipeline. The research study includes the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools’ suspension records from 2006-2013 for 21,690 youth and Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office data from those same years and same youth plus for 7,349/21,690 youth, their delinquency records. This sample was thus, divided into two groups: Non-Court-Involved (14,341) and Court Involved (n=7,349). Descriptive statistics indicate that African-American students are 3-8 times more likely to be disciplined by the use of out of school suspensions than their fellow White students. The results show that African-Americans miss 11 days more of school because of OSS than their White counterpart. In addition, the results indicate that approximately every 25 days of out of school suspensions accumulates to 1 arrest. The African-Americans in the Court-Involved group average 22 days of suspension. One specific contribution of this study is the unique collaboration and data sharing between the schools and sheriff’s office to examine and address this issue. The study results are consistent with similar research about school discipline and juvenile justice. Moreover, these findings can be used to increase awareness of the racial and ethnic disparities in educational disciplinary practices and policies in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System and potentially, beyond.

▼ In the United States, racial disparities in infant
health remain grim even in the face ofmedical advancements and
expanding healthcare coverage. Compared to White women,Black women
are more than twice as likely to give birth to a low birthweight
baby.Racial inequalities in perinatal outcomes among Black
immigrant women are not aspronounced, however, they tend to widen
the longer mothers reside in the United States.Despite considerable
research on this topic, little is known about the distal social
factorsthat contribute to these somber racial inequalities in
perinatal outcomes. One aspect ofthe social landscape that has been
shown to significantly impact health, particularlyamong
marginalized populations, is the neighborhood environment. In
particular,residential segregation and immigrant enclaves are two
key neighborhood conditions thathave divergent effects on birth
outcomes. Using 8 years of birth certificate data inconjunction
with information from the American Community Survey, I examine
theassociation between two key neighborhood characteristics –
residential segregation andimmigrant enclaves – and the likelihood
of giving birth to a low birthweight baby amongboth native and
foreign-born Black women in the three largest cities in Ohio.
First, I findthat when living in neighborhoods with low
concentrations of Black residents, foreign-bornBlack women face
significantly lower odds of low birth weight compared to
nativeborn-Black women. However, in neighborhoods with high
concentrations of Black residents, foreign and native-born Black
women face similar odds of low birth weight.Second, the association
between neighborhood immigrant concentration and risk of lowbirth
weight appears to significantly differ for native and foreign-born
Black women. Asthe proportion of immigrants within a neighborhood
increases, the odds of low birthweight decrease for foreign-born
Black women but remain unaffected for native-bornBlack women. These
findings suggest that neighborhood characteristics are likely
toinfluence perinatal outcomes among immigrant and non-immigrant
Black populations indistinct ways.

▼ The availability of the Internet has become increasingly easier to adolescents due to technological advancements. Children are not only susceptible to predators in parks, shopping malls, and playgrounds but cyberspace as well. An increasing number of adolescents have access to smartphones and tablets allowing their susceptibility to become a cyber victim to increase as parental control may not be present. The purpose of this research was to examine the role of the Internet in the sexual exploitation of children. What are the methods predators use to prey on children? How does the child’s behavior play in their susceptibility to being seduced? What is the role of the education system to protect children? The Internet provides unlimited opportunities for educators to expand on their teaching methods and provide additional knowledge to students. However, security measures are lacking as well as knowledge on the potential dangers of the Internet. Education systems are not mandated to implement Internet safety courses into their curriculum as many educators themselves have a lack of knowledge on the subject. Many parents also have a lack of knowledge on Internet safety and feel that their children may be more tech-savvy, making Internet safety conversations more difficult. This allows a child the opportunity to utilize the Internet unsupervised, as many parental controls can be bypassed. A lack of Internet safety knowledge by authority figures, leaves many children susceptible to predator’s manipulation skills. The manipulative behavior a predator has on a child may even go unnoticed by educators and parents unless steps are taken to communicate with the child and the role of the education system to protect children should be to keep children safe while online. Implementing parental controls, mandatory policies and guidelines in school system’s and taking a lead role in the child’s life is imperative on whether a child is preyed upon by predators: Keywords: Education system, Professor Chris Riddell, Educators, Predators, Online, Internet Safety.

▼ This dissertation is about the relationship between sport and community in South Boston. It focuses on forms of community. First, it will show how communal relations are constructed within the arena of youth sport. Then, it will show how those communal relations within sport relate to community dynamics within the neighborhood as a whole. In this sense, more specifically, the dissertation asks the question: what is the relationship between community within the rink and community within the neighborhood? Therefore, this dissertation is about the various, layered connections between sport and community in an urban neighborhood. It accomplishes this through qualitative methodology, specifically: two seasons of fieldwork and observations; as well as 20 tape-recorded, semi-structured interviews, and numerous informal, ongoing conversations with residents.

▼ This dissertation explores the incorporation
of Nicaraguan migrants employed temporarily under the Costa Rica -
Nicaraguan Bi-national Agreement (BNA) into the Costa Rican
healthcare system. Its draws on insights from the literature on
citizenship and migration, particularly Linda Bosniak's notion of
alienage and Lydia Morris' concept of `civic stratification.'
Exploring the social construction of alienage for different
categories of migrants in three institutional domains (namely, the
migration law, social security protections, and the healthcare
provisions), the analysis presented in the dissertation reveals
complexities depending on both the type of migrants and the
institution in question. Non-citizens, such as legally employed
temporary workers are granted some membership entitlements in each
of these institutional domains; yet, they are excluded from others.
Overall, this partial membership tends to reproduce vulnerabilities
and dynamics of exclusion. Furthermore, even though legally
employed temporary workers in host societies are granted certain
benefits, at times policy makers and service providers tend to
ignore the differences between these migrant workers and other
migratory categories (such as `illegal' migrants) and consequently
deny benefits to all migrants regardless of their status . This
dissertation makes a contribution to the literature on citizenship
and migration by illustrating how policy making, particularly with
respect to certain categories of migrants, is a `messy' process,
based on incomplete knowledge, mistaken perceptions, and unclear
assumptions. The analysis reveals how the extension of benefits
granted to these aliens is based on a precarious migratory status
configured around their market price and a non-permanent
affiliation to the host society. As a result, they are slipping
through a crack between old public healthcare arrangements designed
to protect national citizens, and the promotion of flexible
practices for employers requiring a foreign workforce. Beyond the
official government rhetoric, the BNA reaffirms traditional notions
of citizenship, based on national membership not suited to protect
temporary migrants. As a result, migrants get only partial coverage
under the public social security and healthcare systems. In
addition, the special needs of these migrants are largely ignored.
These exclusions leave legal temporary migrant workers unprotected
and vulnerable.

▼ Although Canada is premised on values of
cultural mΘlange, equality and social justice and despite its
official commitment to multiculturalism, a large proportion of
racial minorities live alternate realities. Literature suggests
that Canadian society is stratified along racial and ethnic lines.
The consensus within Canadian academia is that racial minorities
are socially and economically disadvantaged in Canada. Evidence
illustrates that socioeconomic inequalities often translate into
health disparities. The relationship between ethno-racial group
membership and inequality as well as that between inequality and
health are widely studied. However, there is a dearth of Canadian
research focusing on the relationship between ethno-racial origins
and health and how this is mediated by inequality. Using public
microdata from the cross-sectional household component of the
1996/97 National Population Health Survey (NPHS), this thesis
investigates whether racial disparities in health exist in Canada
and to what extent these disparities are a function of
socioeconomic differences.

by overcoming the body, heroic narratives depict subjects
renouncing their fat bodies in order to produce themselves anew.
Drawing on Michel Foucault's late work on Christian technologies of
the self, this paper asserts the continuity of ascetic ethical
practices in the representation of modern fitness. This analysis
draws on Julia Kristeva's figure of the abject in order to provide
a missing gender component to Foucault's articulation of
self-renunciation. Expanding Foucault's panoptic metaphor to a
contemporary culture characterized by self-revelation, this paper
depicts the continuities of ascetic transformation discourse as
represented in I Used to Be Fat.

▼ The purpose of the qualitative study was to use phenomenology to explore and describe the friendships between people with and without disabilities. Eight camp participants answered questions about their friendships at Zeno Mountain Farm, an inclusive camp in Bristol, Vermont. All participants agreed the definition of friendship is the same for all people; this did not change at camp. The major themes that arose were reciprocity, belonging and opportunity. Creating space for these friendships to grow was imperative. Overall this study can add to the body of knowledge concerning friendship formation with people with disabilities.

▼ In this study I approach the contradictory, contentious, and competing notions of resistance as a conceptual problem, with empirical discursive realities, limiting social researchers’ ability to understand relations of power and culture. Using a grounded methodological, I conduct meta-analyses of theoretical, conceptual, and empirical literatures on and/or employing the concepts resistance, culture, and power. From this data, I present a series of emergent epistemic themes as epistemorphs, or knowledge forms, that order a “structure for knowing” characteristic of each term's constitution. I then develop a series of deconstructive analyses aimed at the external validity/reliability and intensional logics of each discursively identified conceptualization structure. I identify in these analyses a series problematics for the intensional logics ordering these concepts. In light of these findings and analyses, I introduce a number of new concepts as an alternative structure for knowing. I conceptualize power in terms of: power (an agent’s properties with capacities to apply force and accomplish things), fortepovon (the praxis of agentic powers), and efikepotenco (the efficacy of powers realized). I introduce a conceptual distinction between ‘the cultural’ (the Discursive mediation of culture) and ‘culture’ (a process of knowledge formation in which experience is made intelligible and comprehensible). In relation the distinction for culture, I introduce a dialectic elaboration of Foucault’s concept of power/knowledge: povonscio (powers in knowledge) and superfortiscio (power determinate knowledge). Returning to the conceptual questions concerning resistance, I articulate a dialectic conceptual formation for resistance and domination as dimensions of fortepovon, rather than being separate and independent phenomena. As an alternative, I propose conceptualizing the praxis of powers as either "oppressive" or "liberating."

On the Right Side of History: How Lesbian and Gay Activists
Galvanized Culture and Politics to make Massachusetts the First

▼ In November 2003 the Massachusetts Supreme
Judicial Court sent issued a controversial ruling in favour of
same-sex marriage in Goodridge v. Massachusetts Department of
Public Health. In the decade preceding the Goodridge decision, the
majority of US states had passed Defense of Marriage Act statutes,
barring recognition of same sex marriage, and in the years
following Goodridge many states passed constitutional amendments to
define marriage between one man and one woman. What sets
Massachusetts apart from the rest of the United States on this
issue? Through the analysis of Massachusetts newspaper reports,
archival material, and interviews with lesbian and gay movement
leaders, this dissertation explores the social and political
factors in Massachusetts that enabled this state to emerge without
a Defense of Marriage Act in place, to win a legal battle to
establish legal same-sex marriage, and to fight off attempts to
establish an amendment that would have overturned the Goodridge
decision. Evidence indicates that 1) cultural and demographic
factors facilitated the early emergence of a lesbian and gay rights
movement in Massachusetts, 2) throughout the 1970's and 1980's
activists gained strategic capacity and cultivated elite and
grassroots allies, 3) by the 1990's the victories of the lesbian
and gay movement established policy legacies and contributed to
cultural change in favour of lesbian and gay people and families,
and 4) during the struggle for same-sex marriage in the 2000's
activists successfully drew on the accumulated strategic skills,
allies, and resources amassed over decades of movement activity to
not only win same-sex marriage rights but to defeat several
attempts by opponents to overturn legal recognition of same-sex
marriage. This study illuminates the interaction between culture,
structure, and agency and underscores the critical importance of
engaging political structures, employing broad-based cultural
tropes, and making informed strategic decisions to advance movement
success.

ABSTRACT Casino Development and the Right to the City: Conflict and Community Place-Making in Philadelphia John E. Balzarini Temple University, 2013 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Anne Shlay This dissertation focuses on the right to the city and community conflict over casino development in Philadelphia. Community outrage erupted in 2006 following the selection of two casinos to be built in Philadelphia. Sugarhouse Casino was planned for construction in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood and Foxwoods Casino was planned for South Philadelphia neighboring the Society Hill, Queen Village and Pennsport communities. For a brief time between 2008 and 2009, plans to develop the Foxwoods Casino moved downtown to Philadelphia's Chinatown community. This dissertation explores the framing of community needs, vulnerabilities and conflict over casino development in each of these three communities and how these framing strategies were used as a foundation for expressing community power. I use a variety of data in this dissertation including in-depth content analysis of the local Philadelphia media, sight observations of casinos, anti-casino actions and town hall meetings. The most important data for this research comes from twenty-nine, one-on-one, semi-structured interviews with a variety of people involved with or knowledgeable about casino development in Philadelphia including anti-casino activists and community members, pro-casino community members, local political officials and their aides, and casino advisors and representatives. A number of ideas and themes are explored in this dissertation dealing with casino development, neighborhood power and the different ways in which community members framed casino development. In chapter three I analyze the debate between casino supporters and casino opponents over the outcomes of casino development for urban regions and residents. If, as many casino supporters claim, casinos attract people from outside a region to spend their money, then I argue the casino has succeeded in attracting revenue to the region in a pattern of neoliberal revitalization. If, on the other hand, casino development fails to attract many visitors from outside a region and relies primarily on local consumers, I argue the casino operates as a form of accumulation by dispossession where wealth is diverted from the locality to the casino and the state. I argue that as more casinos are developed in Pennsylvania, and indeed across the country, the likelihood that a casino is reliant on a localized population increases. If casinos fail to attract consumers from outside a region then no new economic stimulation is achieved. Instead, consumer spending is diverted from other local businesses and directed to the casino. This coupled with increases in gambling addiction have the net effect of harming a regional economy. These new problems created by development of convenience casinos will create new social and economic crises that states and municipalities will need to deal with in the future.…

▼ Sociology
Studying social movements is one way to understand social change. The historical timing of their appearance and the ways they are similar and different from previous social movements is an excellent method for capturing localized salient concerns and the course of societal responses to systems of inequality over time. Another social arena, often undervalued in traditional sociological studies on systems of inequality and their related societal responses, also exists built for the emergence of social confrontations with the status quo. Whether as a psychological release valve, as a method to strengthen positions of dominance, or as a social position to voice criticisms too hot for everyday interaction, the mutability of comedy serves to encourage the emergence of relegated perspectives. There is a great deal of truth to saying a joke is never just a joke. Of course not without consequences, the significance of comedic instances is tempered by its temporal nature and the inherent ambiguity of interpretation. Incidentally, both of these qualities are also what gives comedy freedom from operating social norms of decorum and also allows for opportunities to confront these social norms. It should not be surprising that totalitarian regimes outlaw any practice of comedy, while the most democratic of nations, still riddled with racism, can claim a rich history of comedic challenges to race ideology. It is most likely for this reason that recurring characters like Luther, President Obama¡¦s ¡§anger translator¡¨ on Key and Peele even exist. Luther is the President¡¦s alter ego who performs and personifies all of the emotions the first non-white president must presumably feel, but is prevented from expressing, especially in relation to the trappings of contemporary racial logic. The main point here is to take a closer look at these seemingly strange bedfellows ¡V comedy and race ¡V and to consider these humorous proclamations against race and racism as types of momentary, but constant, social protest. Using popular commentary as a measure of controversy that is widely known, the most controversial sketch comedy shows in each decade from the 1960s to the 2000s were selected and analyzed. Additionally, all other sketch comedy shows that aired at the same time for each show were analyzed, leading to a more complex depiction of racial politics in the U.S. over five decades. Examining race through comedy lends itself to seeing racial dynamics from the edge and through the lens of social critics who possess wider degrees of discursive and performative acceptability. The story they tell confirms their critical social importance and their unique encounter with prevailing issues of race and racism. This study examines contemporary "fools" and how they resist, challenge, and transform race ideology. In order to capture the landscape of each show and to identify variations across the show, basic demographic characteristics will be collected through pre-established categorical determinations. As the primary level of…

▼ The purpose of this study is to examine how the intersections of race, class, gender and place impact identity negotiation among first generation female graduate students and how these identities are influenced and shaped by the structures and role expectations of both home and academic environments. This research addresses the scarcity of literature on first generation graduate level students, as well as the lack of intersectional research in identity and student development studies. Additionally, there has been a dearth of literature focusing on class, race, and place, and how these identities influence women’s feelings of being academic imposters. Thus, the extensive and more profound experience of graduate education has the potential to shed light on whether identity struggles related to the imposter phenomenon persist throughout the life span. An intersectional analysis revealed that female first generation student experiences were characterized by a lack of knowledge both prior to and during college. This sense of ‘not knowing’ across the intersections of race, class, gender and place strongly impacted respondents’ identity, as well as their entire college experience. Repercussions included barriers to personal and academic progress, as well as systemic isolation, resulting in increased self-sufficiency and lack of belonging. Qualitative findings revealed a strong connection between female first generation graduate students lack of knowledge and the imposter phenomenon. The intersection of gender, class and race created a situation of double and triple disadvantage for students, which increased feelings of fraudulence and fear of being unmasked. Thus, first generation poor to working class female students of racial/ethnic minority are at higher risk for developing characteristics of the imposter phenomenon that can more profoundly affect their identity, and in a larger sense, their overall well-being. Quantitative findings indicate that higher family income, higher community population, and higher maternal educational status are significantly associated with lower scores on a measure of imposter feelings, Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale (CIPS, Clance 1985). Conversely, Native American racial identity was associated with higher CIPS scores, indicating intense imposter feelings. Native American respondents also reported experiencing a heightened sense of isolation and “token” status throughout their educational experiences, as well as greater difficulty negotiating identity in both home and academic cultures.

▼ The study fills a gap in the literature by comparing two types of Jamaican households and how these households differed in their food consumption patterns. This study collected data from two focus groups and 102 survey respondents from the cities of Pembroke Pines, Miramar and Lauderdale Lakes in South Florida. The two types of households were those with Jamaicans married to Jamaicans and those with Jamaicans married to individuals from other ethnic groups. An integrated theoretical framework was developed combining ideas from Bourdieu, Barth’s ethnic boundary theory, Yosso’s cultural capital and Strauss’s negotiated order. There was a significant relationship between the two household types and ethnic food purchases, and frequency of consuming Jamaican dishes at home; and between the importance of preparing authentic Jamaican foods and the belief that it will influence children when they become adults. The relationships between household type and distance willing to go to purchase ethnic foods, restaurant preference, importance of authentic food preparation and meal preparer were not significant. Support for Bourdieu’s habitus was found in the focus group data in terms of the consumption and preparation on native meals. Overall the study showed that there are food consumption disagreements in families whether a person marries within or outside their ethnic culture and most couples negotiate to resolve these disagreements.

▼ Participation in social and educational environments is crucial for young people’s development, well-being and opportunities for leading a fulfilling and successful life. Many South African youngsters – and particularly street children – are often excluded from meaningful participation in their communities. This involves participation in social, educational, cultural, political and economic life. The family and the school are two important arenas where such participation can take place. In addition, these youngsters are confronted with unpredictable future life chances. Thus, they often find themselves in a disadvantaged position within society. In light of this observation, the theme of youth at risk has been much discussed in South Africa for the past three decades. This study focuses on a group of especially disadvantaged adolescents, who do not live in safe and nurturing family environments and who are excluded from formal education. I investigate whether ‘theories and practices of education’, featured in non-formal educational interventions, have an impact on the reproduction of disadvantage and risk among its students. My research focuses on the case of Learn to Live, a non-formal educational intervention that tries to counteract the disadvantages that especially disadvantaged youth in Cape Town face.My findings show that educators and students try to find a balance between, on the one hand, emphasising the uniqueness of students’ extremely disadvantaged situation and the need for a particular kind of education that results from it, and on the other hand, the desire to conform to mainstream ideas and mainstream adolescent life. In their attempts to find this balance, nearly all participants acknowledge that Learn to Live is a necessary stepping stone in students’ lives towards success and happiness. The educators believe that the school itself can contribute a lot to the students’ situation and emphasise their role of victims of their circumstances. The students, however, state that Learn to Live is merely there to give them a second chance. They do consider their own role in the schooling process and the path to success to be paramount. This is also reflected quite clearly in the students’ aspirations, their feelings of hope, and their looking to the future. The implications of these findings for Learn to Live include: building on students’ strengths, talents and resiliency by offering them an empowerment-based intervention, creating more opportunities where students can experience feelings of success and pride, and making use of testimonies of successful students.

▼ My dissertation addresses to what extent and how independent hip-hop challenges or reproduces U.S. mainstream hip-hop culture and U.S. culture more generally. I contend that independent hip-hop remains a complex contemporary subculture. My research design utilizes a mixed methods approach. First, I analyze the lyrics of independent hip-hop albums through a content analysis of twenty-five independent albums from 2000-2013. I uncover the dominant ideologies of independent hip-hop artists regarding race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and calls for social change. By systemically analyzing the content of the lyrics in these albums, I uncover the salient grievances of the independent hip-hop community and how they vary across artists. Second, I utilize interviews with forty-six members of the independent hip-hop community who are self-defined listeners and fans active in the hip-hop community. I explore the meanings that they associate with hip-hop culture, and whether and how this shapes their engagement with oppositional consciousness. More specifically, I further examine the complex and contradictory cultural politics of independent hip-hop music, and how it challenges or reinforces dominant ideologies about race, class, gender, and sexuality. Ultimately, while artists and listeners consistently express grievances related to both race and class inequality, its gender and sexual politics are contradictory. Nonetheless, independent hip-hop expresses the oppositional consciousness of its artists and listeners as well as the limits of that consciousness.

▼ The primary purpose of this study was to examine how women who are considering tattoos understand the action in relation to the Generalized Other. Data was derived from qualitative interviews conducted with women of various ages; some with and without tattoos. Understood stereotypes and perceptions of tattooed individuals were discussed, in addition to various reasons for obtaining a tattoo. How these beliefs and expectations were manifested within the interview participants’ lives was also discussed, as it was important to know what reference groups helped to form their Generalized Others and therefore, aided in influencing their personal decisions regarding the act of tattooing.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.
The context of this mixed-methods study is South Rome, is a community within the city of Rome, Georgia in the northwest portion of the state that is currently undergoing a large-scale community revitalization process. With the goal of informing this initiative, the current study explored individual-and community-level assets and aspirations using the Community Capitals Framework (CCF), a conceptual framework from sociology used to better understand how communities work and thrive, through analyzing the skills, resources, and networks present in specific contexts. Participants completed community activity books and participated in community workshops. Results include perceived community strengths in natural and built capital, needs in political and human capital, and include a detailed account of participants' dreams and suggestions for the future of their community.
Latent Class Analysis of indicators from the community activity books also uncovered four latent classes of community residents: New Minority Residents, Active Long-Term Residents, Less Active Long-Term Residents, and New Residents with Action Potential. These classes reveal the diversity of the community, highlighting the shared characteristics and experiences of certain residents. Specifically, findings demonstrate that community assets are not uniformly distributed or perceived in communities; location, perception, accessibility, and demographic characteristics influence the way that residents view the strengths and assets of their communities. Therefore, the results not only suggest that the CCF is a useful conceptual tool for determining the presence, location, and organization of community resources, but also for uncovering ways in which individual-level factors relate to the identification and accessibility of community-level resources and services.

▼ The unique institutional setting and structure of elite colleges provide equally unique opportunities and pathways to elite degrees. While the multi-faceted benefits of elite college attendance have been well documented in the literature, (Brand and Halaby 2006; Reardon et al. 2012; Hout 2012) there is also evidence to suggest that elite colleges serve as institutional sorting grounds for the reproduction and the perpetuation of social inequalities (Espenshade and Radford 2009; Massey et al. 2003). This dissertation examines the factors that impact and serve as protective sources against likelihoods of dropping out among students in selective and elite institutions in the U.S.
