▼ The United States healthcare system is looking to reduce healthcare costs and improve healthcare outcomes by traversing traditional healthcare boundaries to address not only the clinical but also the social needs of patients. Coalitions between healthcare systems, social service organizations, and government entities are one way to address gaps in the healthcare and social service systems. The Washtenaw Health Initiative (WHI) is a multi-stakeholder collaborative in Michigan working to integrate healthcare and social services through use of the Collective Impact model. Using participant observation and in-depth interviews, this dissertation aims to 1) evaluate the implications of WHI’s alignment with and departures from the Collective Impact model and other coalition theories and 2) to explore opportunities and challenges for all coalitions working to integrate healthcare and social services.
The WHI is partially aligned with the Collective Impact model, in that it has a common agenda of promoting community connections and a strong backbone organization. It does not strongly align with the other pillars of Collective Impact: shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, and continuous communication. Drawing on other coalition theories, the WHI may benefit from more clearly defined roles and structure, explicit meeting norms, and a process for embarking on new activities—including an emphasis on community engagement. Through these changes, the WHI may become more effective by aligning its approach to creating change and its activities with its mission.
Coalitions have an opportunity to help providers navigate the tricky interface between healthcare and social services by sharing and collaborating on different approaches to addressing patients’ social needs. Yet, to effectively address the root causes of social conditions, coalitions face the challenges of engaging their diverse members, equalizing power dynamics, and building trust. Overcoming these challenges requires strengthening relationships amongst coalition members through active facilitation to create an environment to hold difficult conversations about power, resource distribution, and problems in the coalition’s local healthcare system. By using coalition models to refine processes and structures, multi-stakeholder coalitions can build an environment which uncovers and addresses the underlying issues that cause gaps in the U.S. healthcare and social service systems.

▼ This study examines how Augmented Reality (AR) visualizations can impact the collective interaction of users. This research will focus on a multiphase experience with a buildup of different levels of Virtual Reality through the use of panoramas and 3D models. The experience was created using a participatory method with multiple tests and iterations to better create an evaluable product. The result if this experiment shows that the impact AR has on users is extensive. A properly framed character can even change a pair of two users into a group of three.

▼ Program evaluation is an important topic for nonprofit organizations since a range of nonprofit stakeholders expect to see organizations progress in achieving their mission and social purpose. Nonprofits experience a variety of challenges evaluating the
impact of their programs, including lack of evaluation knowledge, resources, time, personnel, and evaluation training. The purpose of this study is to determine what challenges and barriers nonprofit organizations experience when evaluating their programs within a collaborative context. Specifically, this study aims to gather experiences from the growing number of nonprofit organizations that belong to nonprofit collectives and that are engaged in collaborative work and
collective impact initiatives.
In this exploratory case study, I conducted in-depth interviews with nonprofit practitioners whose organizations belong to a Northern California nonprofit
collective. The interviews provided rich and grounded detail on the array of challenges that nonprofits experience evaluating the performance of both individual and collaborative programs. These challenges include limitations in organizational capacity to conduct program evaluation, limitations in evaluation skill, funding barriers, and coordination challenges. The findings also indicate that all stakeholders, including nonprofit practitioners, funders, and
collective leaders, may benefit from engaging in dialogue to collaboratively reduce program evaluation challenges, barriers, redundancies, and inefficiencies.

▼ Educational attainment in the United States is at the highest levels since recording started, yet large numbers of students are not completing education at the secondary and postsecondary levels. This lack of education impacts their long-term prospects for living wage careers, stable housing and the ability to support both themselves and their families. A growing response to this crisis is the development of cross-sector collaborative partnerships to address educational attainment resulting in an educated and skilled workforce that will ultimately improve prosperity in a community or region. This collaborative work has expanded as a result of growing recognition that all sectors of the economy have a stake in education as a way to create strong communities and regional prosperity. While evidence of the challenges in educating all students abounds, evidence of success in collaborative partnership efforts to improve education is sparse.
This constructivist grounded theory research study was developed to explore the collaborative behaviors leading to success in improving educational outcomes for all students. Leaders at the executive and operational levels of collaborative partnerships participated in this study through a three-phase process of semi-structured interviews. Data collection and analysis for this study used a process of constant comparison and occurred simultaneously with a comprehensive literature review. Participants in this research study represented collaborative partnerships from across the United States that are focused on improving educational attainment at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Four findings from this research study support an overarching substantive grounded theory that explicates the importance of moral purpose as the underpinning for achievement of collaborative outcomes. The findings further describe the behaviors necessary for success in crafting strong relationships, building trust, and communicating for
impact. These interpersonal behaviors can be supported by the presence of psychological safety at the group level to maximize the efficacy of collaborative partnerships to achieve systems improvements in education. This study also encourages all collaborative partnerships to consider using a continuous improvement approach to their work grounded in intellectual humility. The study concludes with recommendations for future research to further explore the implications of psychological safety in the context of collaborative partnerships, noting that both intellectual humility and curiosity are aligned with the concepts of psychological safety and continuous improvement or improvement science.

▼ In recent years, museums have made a commitment to address social issues that
impact their communities. One of the essential tools to do this is for museums to form collaborations with other community organizations. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of these collaborations. To do so, this study analyzed eight IMLS funded grant narratives using a framework based on
collective impact.
Collective impact is a particular type of collaboration that has not only found success addressing many of the same problems, but fostered research that defines its characteristics clearly. These are characteristics shared by most collaborations. Through this analysis, it was found that, these collaborations addressed a variety of issues, tended to be data-driven with a strong common agenda. However, they lacked internal logistics and had limited collaborative leadership.

▼ This research project focuses on helping Hispanic students in the East Tennessee region excel in higher education with existing resources from various organizations. Hispanic high school students were identified to complete a survey. Findings showed that these students are facing legal, financial and social challenges when thinking about higher education. Even though these students are facing these challenges, they still want to pursue higher education in order to make a positive impact in their communities. The collective impact idea is proposed as part of the solution for this social complex problem. Since it is impossible for an individual to solve this alone, the goal is for these organizations to work together to help this population and their families. The conclusion of this project reminds us that data shows that the Hispanic population is growing in this region of Tennessee and that helping and educating this population is extremely important.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of university and university-system mid-level leaders’ experiences in complex partnerships in which they have been involved. A complex partnership was defined as a codified ongoing collaborative effort that involves at least three different organizational entities. These complex partnerships are designed to leverage resources and personnel through developing shared capacity to fulfill a specific agreed-upon educational mandate.
Two major areas comprise the focus of this inquiry: (a) the leaders’ description about their practice in facilitating complex partnerships, and (b) factors that shaped the leaders’ practices in relation to these partnerships. The leaders in this study were mid-level university-system or university managers who were involved in or had recent experience in facilitating complex partnerships.
The study participants’ experiences in complex partnerships were experienced from a qualitative perspective and through extensive open-ended individual interviews and document review. Ten mid-level leaders from university systems and universities in the United States were purposefully selected. The constant comparative analysis method was employed for data analysis and result interpretations.
Five themes and three subthemes directly related to these leaders’ participation in complex partnerships emerged from the data. The five themes were: (a) emerging needs; (b) relationships; (c) leadership; (d) accountability; and (e) staffing and infrastructure. The three subthemes were: (a) communication; (b) collaboration; and (c) driving force leadership.
A model for organization development in a complex partnership was proposed to understand how these multi-organization partnerships function. Implications for HRD theory and practice were drawn and specific future research directions were discussed. This study provides insight that may inform HRD professionals when designing organization development interventions in a complex partnership.

▼ This thesis is about defining participation in the context of fostering research cohesion in the field of Participatory Design. The systematic and incremental building of new knowledge is the process by which science and research is advanced. This process requires a certain type of cohesion in the way research is undertaken for new knowledge to be built from the knowledge provided by previous projects and research. To support this process and to foster research cohesion three conditions are necessary. These conditions are: common ground between practitioners, problem-space positioning, and adherence to clear research criteria. The challenge of fostering research cohesion in Participatory Design is apparent in at least four themes raised in the literature: the role of politics within Participatory Design epistemology, the role of participation, design with users, and the ability to translate theory into practice. These four thematic challenges frame the context which the research gap is situated. These themes are also further investigated and the research gap – a general lack of research cohesion – along with one avenue for addressing this gap – a clear and operationalizable definition for participation – are identified. The intended contribution of this thesis is to develop a framework and visual tool to address this research gap. In particular, an initial approximation for a clear and operationalizable definition for participation will be proposed such that it can be used within the field of Participatory Design to run projects and foster research cohesion. In pursuit of this contribution, a critical lens is developed and used to analyse some of the principles and practices of Participatory Design that are regarded as foundational. This lens addresses how to define participation in a way that adheres to basic principles of scientific rigour – namely, ensuring that the elements of a theory are operationalizable, falsifiable, generalizable, and useful, and it also treats participation as a construct rather than treating the notion of participation as a variable. A systematic analysis is performed using this lens on the principles and practices that are considered foundational within the field. From this analysis, three components of the participation construct – impact, influence, and agency – are identified. These components are then broken down into two constituent variables each (six in all) and represented visually. Impact is described as the relationship between the quality and use of information. Influence is described as the relationship between the amount and scope of decision making. Agency is described as the relationship between the motivation of the participant and the solidarity of the group. Thus, as a construct, participation is described as the relationship between a participant’s impact, influence, and agency. In the concluding section, the value of this participation construct is explored for its utility in enhancing project work and fostering research cohesion. Three items of potential value that…

▼ Modelling pedestrian crowd movement and behaviour has emerged in the recent years in the literature as a new research topic. This topic has become important to an increasing extent due to the growth of populations of urban areas and mass events as well as an increase in the frequency of crowd-related incidents in venues that host a large number of people. Emergency incidents are considered as infrequent occurrences with safety-related ramifications and probable high effect. Although some attempts of modelling and simulating pedestrian movement have been around for decades, this field of research has recently received an apparent boost in attention in a variety of disciplines, notably in transport.
The research on this subject eventually intends to develop forecasts tools that could assist in planning and optimisation for evacuation situations by providing measures including total evacuation times for each given circumstance. This would facilitate planners and authorities with the useful information required for evaluating the efficiency of their evacuation strategies in terms of time takes to vacate venues, placing potentially problematic locations and identifying weaknesses in their venues and recommend measures that can expedite the discharge of individuals should normal or emergency evacuation arise. Applications of these prediction tools could range vastly from merely guiding occupants as to in what way they should behave and manage themselves in case of occurrence of an incident, to assessing the safe density rate of venues especially in large special events and mass gatherings, too complicated optimising the design of the environments in ways that best increase the efficiency with which individuals move.
The interdisciplinary problem has drawn the attention of researchers in numerous fields such as applied physics, fire safety, mathematics, ergonomics and transport engineering. The most critical element of this practice is potentially the accurateness of modelling that is inextricably linked with the behaviour of humans and extent to which their behaviour can be replicated by the proposed models. Considering implications of evacuation prediction tools and models in terms of safety, it is of major importance to reduce the possibility of imprecise estimates that could possibly culminate in inaccurate designs or misguided management policies.
In order to address the challenges involved in reproducing pedestrian crowd motion, broad research has been undertaken. As stated by literature, however, most of studies has centred on understanding a class of models which we refer to as “walking-behaviour” or “next-step” models. In contrast, there has been very little knowledge as to the understanding of a higher scale of pedestrian decision making which we refer to as “route/exit” choice. Implementation of some plausible criteria which can reproduce peoples’ exit decision in an egress situation while taking into account the dynamic changes of the exit characteristics would be part and parcel of any simulated evacuation…

▼ Throughout history people have joined together to improve their individual lives. In the modern era, organizations often work cooperatively to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness. Collaborating organizations in the nonprofit sector are increasingly expected to produce system-level change as well. This collective impact approach is under-theorized and therefore not consistently actionable. A central puzzle is how formal nonprofit collaborations acquire resource inputs and transform them into outputs, outcomes, and impact while producing financial returns to sustain the backbone organization. Resource dependence theory is sometimes proposed as an explanatory framework, yet it does not explain the generation of a double bottom line (simultaneous production of social and financial returns).
To address this gap in the literature, this study examined the role that resources play in a 501(c)3 collaboration of 29 arts and culture organizations in California. Using an informed grounded theory design with mixed methods of data collection and analysis, the investigation researched the anomaly of how a formal collaboration established in 2001 has been able to survive and grow when many similar organizations struggle financially. Through process tracing, the study identified resource inputs and documented their flow and transformation to discern the mechanisms of their mobilization and conversion. Process tracing was also used to assess seven rival hypotheses to explain the successful anomaly.
Findings indicate the collaboration deploys multiple forms of capital (financial, physical, human, relational, symbolic, and structural) and generates some of these forms itself. The mechanisms for this endogenous genesis are catalytic processes (especially communicating, leading, connecting, learning, and investing) that activate and transform the latent potential of tangible and intangible resources into productive forms to help sustain the collaboration. Six of the rival hypotheses were found to be only partially or not supported. The seventh, termed resource interdependence theory, was supported. Six affiliated propositions are presented. Beyond these theoretical contributions, the study systematically maps the currency of civil society, creating an actionable typology to serve as a framework to guide the design of collective impact strategies and philanthropic decision-making. The study suggests that the construct of capacity building may be more usefully thought of as capital building.

▼ A privação relativa grupal tem sido estudada como preditora de atitudes intergrupais negativas e ainda da adesão a protestos e políticas nacionalistas e anti-imigração. Neste trabalho procurámos analisar a relação entre privação relativa grupal dos portugueses e as suas atitudes face aos refugiados. Concretamente, e alargando a literatura existente sobre os efeitos negativos da privação relativa, explorámos novos mecanismos (i.e., crenças de impacto negativo, desumanização, e angústia coletiva) através dos quais a privação relativa grupal está associada a relações intergrupais negativas. Através da aplicação de um questionário a cidadãos portugueses (N=363) verificou-se, tal como esperado, que os portugueses que se sentiam privados face a outros cidadãos europeus apresentavam atitudes mais negativas face a refugiados (e.g., racismo moderno, distância social, e apoio a politicas restritivas de acolhimento). Especificamente, níveis elevados de privação grupal estiveram associados a uma maior adesão a crenças de impacto negativo dos refugiados e à desumanização (i.e., negação da natureza humana), que por sua vez se associaram a um maior desejo de distância social face aos refugiados, maior racismo moderno e apoio a políticas que restringem o seu acesso a benefícios sociais. Estes resultados alargam a investigação existente, em particular ao demonstrarem que perceção de privação face a um exogrupo pode ter um efeito generalizado nas relações intergrupais, originando atitudes negativas face a outro grupo que não está diretamente relacionado com o sentimento de privação. Contrariamente ao esperado, esta relação não foi particularmente forte para os indivíduos que se identificam narcisicamente com Portugal.
Relative group deprivation has been studied as a predictor of negative intergroup attitudes, as well as, of supporting nationalist and anti-immigration protests and policies. The current work examines the relation between relative group deprivation of Portuguese and their attitudes toward refugees. Specifically, extending the existent literature on the negative effects of relative deprivation, we explored new underlying mechanisms (i.e., negative impact beliefs, dehumanization, and collective angst) through which relative group deprivation is associated with negative intergroup attitudes. Participants (N = 363) completed a survey. Results showed that, as expected, Portuguese who felt deprived relative to other European citizens revealed more negative attitudes toward refugees (i.e., modern racism, social distance, and support for restrictive hosting policies). Specifically, higher levels of group deprivation were associated with higher endorsement of beliefs about the negative impact of refugees and higher dehumanization (i.e., denial of human nature), which were then associated to a higher desire of social distance toward refugees, higher modern racism, and support for policies that constrain their access to social benefits. These results extend the existent research, namely by demonstrating that feeling deprived…

▼ Sexual exploitation and human sex trafficking are a multi-billion-dollar international industry in which many Canadian women and children are trafficked and exploited, hurt and sometimes murdered by predators. Previous studies have often overlooked significant voices including police, political leaders and prosecutors who also work to protect sex industry survivors. This research widens the net and includes interviews with 61 experts across Manitoba, including police, First Nations and other political leaders, government and non-government service providers and sex trafficking survivors, who collectively represent over 1,000 years of experience combatting victimization in the sex industry.
Through a grounded approach, this study gathers the stories and experiences of survivors, relevant practitioners and community leaders in Manitoba, and contributes to theory and practice around reducing sex trafficking and exploitation. The findings include the following: (1) Early risk factors for youth may be identified and addressed to reduce vulnerability to being trafficked and exploited; (2) More flexible ongoing supports can empower sex industry survivors and assist them to escape sex slavery; (3) Greater coordination and collaboration are needed between the broad spectrum of enforcement and support agencies; (4) New resources, such as more and better equipped safe houses and local and regional coordination hubs can provide a safety net for people who are being exploited in the sex industry; (5) Increased counter-exploitation education can potentially improve youth resilience and affect the public discourse around the issue.

▼ Objective: Developmental screening of infants and young children increases early identification of developmental delay and disability and creates an opportunity to connect families with needed services. Ensuring screening for all children requires collaboration across the medical, educational, childcare and family resource sectors. This study examines the approach and activities of a collaborative community work group in Yakima County, WA, to create a system to improve access to developmental screening and related resources to all children in the county. Methods: An array of child health and early learning professionals gathered in January 2010 to discuss developmental screening in the county. From this large group, a smaller work group, the Yakima County Developmental Screening Work Group, was formed in January 2011 and met regularly to formulate a county-wide plan for a universal developmental screening system. This case study examined the work of the Work Group through key informant interviews, review of meeting minutes and grant-related documents, and direct observation. The degree to which the group collaborated across sectors was evaluated using the framework of
Collective Impact, a model for cross-sector collaboration. Results: Within-group collaboration was marked by Work Group members' strong personal commitment to the goal of developmental screening, their ability to think at a systems level, and their belief in the "whole child" approach to child wellness. Collaboration between the Work Group and partner agencies involved four strategies: 1) visiting the partner's site, 2) customizing presentations about child development, 3) listening to concerns, and 4) supporting partners' knowledge of their service population and their decisions regarding screening implementation activities. The
Collective Impact framework indicated the Work Group's strengths in the areas of continuous communication and mutually-reinforcing activities. Backbone support and a shared measurement system were the most challenging components of the
Collective Impact framework to fulfill. Conclusions: Systems level thinking and a flexible approach towards supporting community partners as they implement screening in their settings were key strategies of the Yakima County Developmental Screening Work Group. Efforts to develop systems of universal developmental screening in other communities should prioritize funding for backbone support staff and shared measurement to ensure effective coordination and accountability among collaborating agencies.

▼ According to a 2017 independent living services report, approximately 35% of foster care alumni (FCA) in a southeastern US state are utilizing the postsecondary tuition and fee waiver guaranteed to them by the state. Of those utilizing the waiver, however, less than 2% graduate . In an effort to increase the graduation rate of FCA, a statute was passed in 2013 requiring institutions within the state university and college systems to integrate into their general support services structure campus coaches who specifically serve students from foster care. Additionally, the Promoting the College Journey (PCJ) program (pseudonym), which can be described as a collaborative support network, was established in 2017 as a means of support for these campus coaches. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the challenges campus coaches in this state face and how participation in the PCJ program has impacted their efficacy beliefs with regards to their capacity to effectively serve FCA. Data revealed that campus coaches in this state have trouble engaging with students, garnering collaborative on-campus support, accessing critical data, navigating the tuition waiver process, assisting students at technical colleges, and ensuring that FCA are aware of all the resources available to them. Most of those interviewed approached the role with a lack of confidence, but expressed that the support of the PCJ program has increased their confidence. Recommendations for practice based on the key findings include establishing a uniform criterion for assigning campus coaches, enhancing campus coach engagement in the program, and strengthening the collective impact framework.

▼ Policymakers make many demands of our schools to produce academic success. At the same time, community organizations, government agencies, faith-based institutions, and other groups often are providing support to students and their families, especially those from high-poverty backgrounds, that are meant to
impact education but are often insufficient, uncoordinated, or redundant. In many cases, these institutions lack access to schools and school leaders. What’s missing from the dominant education reform discourse is a coordinated education-focused approach that mobilizes community assets to effectively improve academic and developmental outcomes for students. This study explores how education-focused comprehensive community change initiatives (CCIs) that utilize a partnership approach are organized and sustained.
In this study, I examine three research questions:
1. Why and how do school system-level community change initiative (CCI) partnerships form?
2. What are the organizational, financial, and political structures that support sustainable CCIs? What, in particular, are their connections to the school systems they seek to
impact?
3. What are the leadership functions and structures found within CCIs? How are leadership functions distributed across schools and agencies within communities?
To answer these questions, I used a cross-case study approach that employed a secondary data analysis of data that were collected as part of a larger research study sponsored by a national organization. The original study design included site visits and extended interviews with educators, community leaders and practitioners about community school initiatives, one type of CCI.
This study demonstrates that characteristics of sustained education-focused CCIs include leaders that are critical to starting the CCIs and are willing to collaborate across institutions, a focus on community problems, building on previous efforts, strategies to improve service delivery, a focus on education and schools in particular, organizational arrangements that create shared leadership and ownership for the CCI, an intermediary to support the initial vision and collaborative leadership groups, diversified funding approaches, and political support. These findings add to the literature about the growing number of education-focused CCIs. The study’s primary recommendation—that institutions need to work across boundaries in order to sustain CCIs organizationally, financially, and politically—can help policymakers as they develop new collaborative approaches to achieving educational goals.

▼ Social entrepreneurs are change agents that seek to
maximize their use of limited financial resources to create
long-term, lasting solutions to complex issues such as youth
unemployment, recidivism, lack of home ownership, and a high rate
of health disparities. Philanthropists,
impact investors, and
intermediaries play an imperative role in creating systems and
influencing the strategies, choices, and intentions of these social
entrepreneurs. The
impact investing industry experiences
inadequacies that limit its
impact. These inadequacies include the
lack of efficient intermediation, which indicates high search and
transaction expenses, fragmented demand and supply, multifaceted
deals, and underdeveloped networks (Kickul & Lyons, 2012).
There is a need to study the interpersonal relationships among all
of the key stakeholders in the ecosystem.This dissertation
implements an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach in a
3-strand study to reveal the perspectives of a wide range of
stakeholders in the social innovation ecosystem, such as social and
commercial entrepreneurs, social enterprise staff and management,
beneficiary groups, philanthropic and investment intermediaries,
and funding bodies. The behaviors and practices of actors within
the social
impact investment ecosystem range from simple, informal
responses for use in “everyday interactions” to more complex,
formal structures. In the first qualitative study, I focus on the
individual and organizational processes used to spark social
enterprise in communities of economic distress. In the second
quantitative study, I analyze the role of social enterprise
financing and their social mission, geographic proximity, and risk
absorption. Based on findings from the initial qualitative study
and the quantitative study, I articulate a research model to study
the tensions, issues, and challenges of philanthropic dyads in the
social innovation ecosystem. The final strand of the three-part
study examines the
impact of investor relationships with
intermediaries and investees. This research uses a qualitative,
multi-case comparative research design. Examining stakeholder
relationships in multiple social
impact investments enables the
identification of patterned behaviors that have endured across
investments, across different settings, and diffused beyond the
initial occurrence, indicating the emergence of new logics,
structures, and processes. I develop a theoretical model that
offers testable propositions for further exploration.Key findings
include the following leverage points for practitioners and
academics alike: social entrepreneurs engaging in continuous,
experiential learning to point out barriers in the system;
philanthropic intermediaries and
impact investors explicitly
addressing the challenge of mission drift when expanding the
resource pool; and social entrepreneurs using co-creative
strategies based on localized knowledge to scale best practices.
Specifically, our findings highlight the journey of
impact
investors to be more strategic in using
impact…

▼ O ambiente universitário é um espaço estratégico para a promoção da alimentação saudável e da segurança alimentar e nutricional, pois muitos hábitos alimentares adquiridos pelos estudantes se mantêm na idade adulta. No Brasil, nos últimos anos, esse ambiente passou a ser ainda mais estratégico, uma vez que incorporou medidas de ação afirmativa (sistema de cotas) e de permanência dos estudantes. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o impacto da implementação do Restaurante Universitário (RU) na alimentação de estudantes de uma universidade pública brasileira. Seus resultados estão apresentados na forma de dois artigos. O primeiro objetivou descrever as práticas alimentares de estudantes do campus Maracanã da UERJ antes da implementação do RU e examiná-las segundo sua forma de ingresso na universidade (cotistas e não cotistas). No segundo semestre de 2011, foi realizado um estudo seccional com o universo de estudantes ingressantes no primeiro semestre daquele ano. Utilizou-se questionário autopreenchido e identificado que abarcou os hábitos de realizar desjejum e de substituir o almoço e/ou o jantar por lanche regularmente (≥ 5 dias/semana) e o consumo regular (≥ 5 dias/semana) de alimentos marcadores de alimentação saudável e não saudável. Participaram do estudo 1336 estudantes. Foram descritas e comparadas a distribuição da frequência semanal dessas práticas e, também, a proporção de estudantes que realizaram essas práticas em pelo menos cinco dias na semana que antecedeu o estudo. Foram observadas proporções expressivas de: não realização do desjejum, substituição do jantar por lanche, baixo consumo de frutas, hortaliças e feijão e consumo frequente de bebidas açucaradas, guloseimas e biscoitos e/ou salgadinhos de pacote. Entre cotistas, foi mais frequente o consumo de feijão, de biscoitos e/ou salgadinhos de pacote e de biscoitos doces e menos frequentes a substituição de jantar por lanche e o consumo de hortaliças e de frutas. Cotistas e não cotistas apresentaram práticas alimentares com algumas semelhanças e desfavoráveis para a saúde. As diferenças observadas entre os dois grupos foram, em sua maioria, na direção de um quadro mais desfavorável para os cotistas, exceto para o feijão. O segundo artigo objetivou avaliar o impacto da implementação do RU sobre as práticas alimentares dos estudantes segundo forma de ingresso na universidade. Para isso, entre os meses de dezembro de 2012 e março de 2013, os estudantes responderam outra vez o questionário autopreenchido no baseline complementado com questões sobre utilização do RU (n= 1131). A variação das práticas alimentares foi examinada pela diferença entre proporções obtidas antes e depois da implementação do RU e pela trajetória individual de cada estudante em relação às práticas estudadas. Foi observada associação entre maior assiduidade ao RU e maior frequência de consumo regular de feijão, hortaliças, hortaliças cruas, hortaliças cozidas e frutas e, também, menor frequência de consumo regular de batata frita e/ou salgados fritos e de biscoitos e/ou…

▼ During the past two decades, community-based hazard mitigation (CBHM) has been newly proposed and implemented as an alternative conceptual model for emergency management to deal with disasters comprehensively in order to curtail skyrocketing disaster losses. Local community members have been growingly required to share information and responsibilities for reducing community vulnerabilities to natural and technological hazards and building a safer community. Consequently they are encouraged to join local mitigation programs and volunteer for
collective mitigation action, but their contributions vary. This research examined factors associated with Tulsa Project
Impact partners?? contributions to
collective mitigation action. In the literature review, self-interest and social norms were identified and briefly discussed as two determinants to guide partners?? behavior by reviewing game theoretic frameworks and individual decision-making models. Partners??
collective interest in building a safer community and feelings of obligation to participate in
collective mitigation action were also considered for this study. Thus, the major factors considered are: (1)
collective interests, (2) selective benefits, (3) participation costs, (4) norms of cooperation, and (5) internalized norms of participation. Research findings showed that selective benefits and internalized norms of participation were the two best predictors for partners?? contributions to
collective mitigation action. However,
collective interests, participation costs, and norms of cooperation did not significantly influence partners?? contributions.

▼ From July 2, 2018 to April 30, 2019, I served the City of Somerville (Massachusetts) Health and Human Services Department (HHS) as a doctoral resident. The mission of HHS is to promote the health and well-being of all Somerville residents from birth to death—a monumental task, even for a city with only 4.2 square miles. With limited resources, barriers to services and supports, and other challenges, the HHS department cannot, on its own, meet all the residents’ needs. The same is true for the education and community sectors, both of which have limitations that prevent them from removing complex social challenges placed on children and families, such as housing instability, food insecurity, and childhood trauma.
My Strategic Project focused on developing a city-wide “wraparound system” that integrates the services and supports of Somerville’s public-school district, city government, and community-based organizations. To do this, I employed a collaborative action framework as a guide to developing cross-sector capacity to build a city-wide wraparound system. I was able to advance this city-wide wraparound system because cross-sector stakeholders understood the value of their connection and the impact the system would have on their agency, as well as the expanded capacity that advanced the system and the deliberate planning that steered the work. Leading and learning at the intersection of education, government, and community furthered my knowledge of what needs to be done in Somerville and in the education sector to advance cross-sector collaboration that benefits all children and families. This capstone writing chronicles my journey, and highlights the strategies I used to develop and advance the city-wide wraparound system in Somerville.

▼ Education improves the opportunities and life-chance outcomes of our children, and is a key factory in both economic and community development. Although high school graduation rates have shown improvement nationwide in recent years, public education is suffering from increasing inequality between different school districts and within the same school districts. Such inequalities widen academic outcome gaps and can result in entire school districts being branded as academic failures. However, there is also encouraging evidence of struggling schools and school districts moving toward improvement. Innovative leaders who are committed to inclusive and rigorous academics, shared leadership, and an in-depth understanding of the diversity of their student population are moving their schools toward improved academic performance. Initiatives that involve broad-based community leadership are also producing positive changes in student outcomes, consistent with
Collective Impact theory. Using Grounded Theory methodology and mixed research methods, this research has identified two struggling Mississippi school districts that saw F ratings become C ratings, and leadership as the critical key to this change. There is hope for struggling school districts. Although adequate funding and change in the education system is needed, inclusive leaders committed to the whole student can lead a struggling school district into academic success. Ability is inherent in every child; it is the job of administrators, educators, parents, politicians and community members to create a school environment for it to blossom and grow.

Cross Sector Collaboration Champions: How Collective Impact Network Directors Lead for Educational Equity.

▼ Collective impact, as a term and as a framework, has risen in popularity over the past six years as a set of guiding principles, processes, and measurement indicators aimed at addressing complex social issues. It has been employed perhaps the most by regional or city-wide efforts that aim to increase educational attainment, especially postsecondary attainment and education-to-workforce outcomes. Until very recently, little to no empirical evidence existed regarding the efficacy of the
collective impact model nor the challenges or successes experienced by the practitioners attempting to implement the model with fidelity. A few recent empirical studies began to identify practical and theoretical gaps in the
collective impact framework, including unrealistic preconditions and differences in practitioner experiences during implementation. The most common challenges to the
collective impact framework identified by researchers have been its limitations for addressing systemic change (rather than more limited programmatic adjustments) and its failure to clearly identify and address basic causes of social inequality, such as racism and poverty. These limitations are an even bigger issue when considering the number of social issues to which the
collective impact model has been applied, both within and outside of the field of education. This dissertation first synthesizes the myriad conceptual and theoretical frameworks for understanding social issue based collaboration efforts generated by researchers before the recent popularity of the
collective impact framework. I then locate education-focused efforts within the boundaries of cross-sector collaborations. I next synthesize the various empirical and prescriptive models for measuring the outcomes of collaborative efforts, especially those that attempt to explain the earliest years of those efforts. The earliest years of collaborative efforts can be the most difficult to study because of a lack of formalized accountability and hit-or-miss administrative processes. Such an ambiguous context can mean that early indicators of success are amorphous and are rarely clearly defined ahead of time. This makes the work of champions (network leaders in this case) extremely difficult and fraught with key decisions for which there is little guidance or research. Given the ambiguous nature of these early efforts as well as the importance of network leaders in establishing collaborative norms during the first few years, this dissertation uses organizational learning theory and the integrative leadership framework to understand the practices and approaches network leaders apply to their work during those earliest years. Using information gained from a pilot study that followed the implementation of 14
collective impact networks in field during their earliest years, this qualitative, multiple case study examines the strategies and behaviors of
collective impact network champions. This study explores the extent to which those champions—specifically the network directors—of cross-sector,…

▼ Background: Tobacco use is one of the most ubiquitous causes of death and disability worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, despite the rising trend the use of tobacco in generally low among adults - less than 10% in men and around 2% in women. As a result the region is viewed as being in the early stages of the four stage tobacco epidemic model. Projections suggest that the tobacco epidemic, if unchecked, can peak in Sub-Saharan Africa in the middle of this century. This offers the public health community an extraordinary opportunity – not only is the epidemic predicted so far in the future, there is knowledge on how to prevent it. The purpose of this study is to (a) research and assess case studies and theoretical frameworks used to guide global collaborative efforts in public health and development; (b) develop, administer, and summarize feedback collected from key stakeholders representing organizations critical in SSA tobacco control efforts; (c) analyze findings and identify gaps in the
collective action; recommend opportunities to improve the systematic operations/capacity of all collaborating partners within SSA so that progress and
collective impacts are maximized in the future.
Methods: Secondary data was first sorted using a comparative, thematic approach to detect themes related to M&E practices at individual (organizational) level and at the group (
collective) level. The sorted data was then analyzed using hypothesized content analysis for alignment of individual and group perceptions across the five components necessary for a collaborative effort to achieve a
collective impact - shared agenda, shared measurements, mutually reinforcing activities, on-going communications, and support organization.
Results: Current practices of M&E are perceived as sub-optimal both at individual and group levels. Even though the secondary data was focused primarily on
shared measurements, the mapping of individual and group level perceptions against the five components of
collective impact indicates that attributes of the other four components were organically included in the discussion in varied depths. Analysis of perception indicates general willingness to adopt a common monitoring and evaluation framework.
Conclusions: A common M&E framework remains a missing component of the collaborative effort striving to prevent the tobacco epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. It is needed to learn from past successes and challenges and to inform strategy of current and future initiatives so that collaborating organizations are better able seize the unprecedented opportunity of preventing death and suffering from tobacco related illnesses in sub-Saharan Africa. It is important that such an M&E framework be thoughtfully conceptualized within the context of a common agenda, and supported by processes that facilitate mutually reinforcing activities and continuous communication among collaborators.

postsecondary degree or credential, there are additional career
options and more income is earned over a lifetime (American
Psychological Association, 2017; United Nations Educational, 2011).
In the United States, policymakers have established a postsecondary
education goal, because by 2020, 65% of all jobs will require some
level of postsecondary education (Bergeron & Martin, 2015).
Thus, individuals should prepare for the demands future careers
will require. However, because of factors such as low socioeconomic
status, parental attitudes, as well as their education levels, and
deficient academic readiness, access to, and persistence in higher
education, there is an inherent correlation that negatively affects
postsecondary educational attainment with individuals from urban
centers. This poses a crisis for the economic sustainability, and
citizens' viability in urban communities. While this problem
exists, there is an intentional process by which community
stakeholders can convene with a common agenda, relative to a social
cause. Yet, according to the literature, this purposeful convening
is not successful in urban settings. Furthermore, there is a gap in
the literature where it does not outline the reasons why (Henig,
Riehl, Houston, Rebell, & Wolff, 2016). The proposed research
study employed a phenomenological case study to explore the process
by which an eclectic group of
collective leaders and stakeholders
in an urban community can coalesce, mobilize, build public will,
have a shared agenda, implement common measures, exercise mutual
activities, and communicate collaboratively via a
collective impact
approach. The efforts could affect positive change, address, and
lead to reform of an urban community’s social crisis, problem, and
cause to remove barriers, increase postsecondary readiness, access,
persistence, and educational attainment (Kania & Kramer, 2011).
The themes garnered included vision and common agenda,
collaboration, support and student services, communication, and
barriers. It is essential for the leaders in the local school
district and community to create supportive environments for
students that foster their academic abilities and provide resources
for postsecondary opportunities. Thus, an education coalition, a
core group of individuals, who rally and unite regarding a common
cause and agenda, created programs and provided support services.
To further ascertain if what they have established was effective,
the education coalition created indicators to measure the
objectives, ensured common and consistent communication and
activities, and formed a backbone organization, to execute and
continue the efforts relative to the goals in an effort to serve
students and their families (Kania & Kramer, 2011). While this

intentionality and a common agenda, to prepare…

▼ This study explored collaboration at a teacher-developed and implemented small high school that was a product of a district's comprehensive school reform initiative. This initiative was aimed at improving outcomes for youth in communities where chronic school failure had become entrenched. Specifically, this study investigated how the phenomenon of teacher collaboration both catalyzes and fosters teachers' sense of shared responsibility for student success and well being, their perceptions of collective efficacy, and their trust in colleagues to both internalize and implement the school's mission. I used a single-case study as the mode of inquiry in order to create a detailed portrait of teacher collaboration based on how teachers both talk about and implement their work. I drew from five principle information sources: (a) all 19 faculty members completed three surveys aimed at understanding teachers' perceptions of collective efficacy, faculty trust, and shared responsibility; (b) I conducted 16, hour-long interviews to understand collaborative practices relative to trust, collective efficacy, and shared responsibility; (c) I conducted one focus group that focused on the nature of collaboration at the site; (d) I observed four collaborative teacher meetings; and (e) five teachers wrote twice-weekly reflections on their collaborative practices. I conclude this study with recommendations for teacher-led school transformation as one approach to turning around failing schools.

Le rôle de la presse dans la constitution du littéraire au Bas-Canada et au Brésil au cours du premier XIXe siècle : vers la formation d'une culture nationale dans les collectivités neuves des Amériques.

▼ Cette thèse envisage la formation des cultures nationales au sein de deux collectivités neuves des Amériques, alors que s'enclenche, au toumant du XIXe siècle, un mouvement d'émancipation politique dans la majorité des sociétés coloniales. Constatant que l'émergence d'un espace public s'effectue à la même époque au Québec et au Brésil, parallèlement à la diffusion des Lumières et à l'implantation d'une presse politique, j'ai voulu comparer le processus de formation du champ intellectuel au sein de ces deux collectivités. En étudiant plus particulièrement les procédés littéraires mis en oeuvre dans le discours des joumaux bas-canadiens et brésiliens du premier XIXe siècle, j'ai tenté de mieux comprendre le rôle des périodiques dans la constitution du littéraire. De par sa position hégémonique au sein du champ intellectuel, la presse apparaît alors comme une véritable locomotive de la vie intellectuelle bas-canadienne et brésilienne. Le corpus est constitué principalement de journaux d'opinion mais aussi de revues encyclopédiques. Pour le Québec, je me suis attardée principalement aux années 1817-1819 afin de proposer un portrait du milieu éditorial au début du XIXe siècle et de cerner plus spécifiquement le fonctionnement de la presse à cette époque. Du côté brésilien, je me suis intéressée plus largement aux périodiques publiés entre 1808 et 1840 afin de présenter un plus vaste éventail de pratiques littéraires déployées dans la presse des premières décennies du XIXe siècle.
L'introduction s'attarde aux répercussions de l'implantation de l'imprimerie dans les sociétés coloniales et décrit l'impact occasionné par les changements politiques sur le sentiment identitaire des collectivités québécoise et brésilienne. Les trois premiers chapitres se penchent sur la mise en place des institutions de la vie littéraire au sein des collectivités bas-canadienne et brésilienne et prennent en compte les enjeux politiques propres à chacune des sociétés. Ces chapitres permettent de cerner dans quel contexte se fait l'apparition de la presse et ainsi de mieux saisir son rôle à la fois politique et culturel. Les chapitres 4 et 5, qui analysent plus directement les joumaux bas-canadiens et brésiliens, permettent précisément de voir la presse à l'oeuvre dans la constitution du littéraire et d'une culture nationale. L'analyse du discours joumalistique bas-canadien et brésilien montre ainsi que c'est au sein du milieu intellectuel, et avec le politique, qu'émerge progressivement le littéraire; il s'illustre dans une écriture qui commence à se reconnaître comme telle à travers les polémiques, les débats sur la culture, la critique et le recours à la fiction. Proposant une analyse pragmatique du littéraire en contexte américain, ma thèse entend contribuer à une relecture de l'histoire littéraire québécoise du premier XIXe siècle grâce à l'apport d'une démarche comparée intercontinentale. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Québec, Brésil, Presse, Littérature, Culture…

To compete or cooperate? three essays on the relationship

▼ In their highly influential work on the labour market
impact of unions termed the collective voice/institutional response
model (CVIR), Freeman & Medoff (1984) proposed that whether
the union’s monopoly or voice face would prevail greatly depended
on the union’s and management’s willingness to compete or
cooperate, respectively. However, these authors and the researchers
that tested their ideas afterwards neither theorized about nor
tested this key moderating condition of a union’s impact. The
result has been a confusing, mixed and generally inconclusive
litany of research findings about the impact of unions at both the
individual and organizational levels of analysis. I attempt to
resolve this gap in CVIR by using the appropriateness framework
(March 1994) to identify when and under what conditions management
and unions, along with their members, will respond cooperatively or
competitively toward each other. My empirical results are
consistent with the idea that management response is a key
moderating mechanism of a union’s power and thus impact,
contributing to zero or negative sum outcomes when management
chooses to compete (i.e., union power is exerted in the direction
of harmful monopoly effects) and positive sum outcomes when
management chooses cooperation (i.e., union power is exerted in the
direction of beneficial voice effects). In particular, when
environmental cues lead the union and/or unionized employees to
believe that management values voice, they will consider
“cooperation” an appropriate response under the circumstances and
reciprocate in-kind with other-regarding behaviors. On the other
hand, when environmental cues lead the union or unionized employees
to believe that management may potentially behave
opportunistically, they will consider “competition” appropriate
under the circumstances, and respond in-kind with self-serving,
competitive behaviours. Drawing upon the resource-based view of the
firm, I argue how a cooperative union-management relationship can
be a source of sustainable competitive advantage for the
organization (Barney, 1991).

▼ Prior research on memories provides evidence for a curvilinear relationship of memories to age, where events occurring during the critical years of adolescence and early adulthood are more likely to be remembered than events occurring either earlier or later in the lifecourse. The primacy of experiences from the critical years, and their role in development of identity, may be responsible for this relationship. Are such patterns of memories affected by significant life transitions that initiate a new set of novel experiences, even when the adolescent/early adult years are long past? This research examines emigration from one country to another as an example of such a transition, focusing on the memories of Jewish emigrants from the (former) Soviet Union to the United States. A mail survey was administered to a sample drawn from the records of refugee assistance agencies; 1,013 respondents provided data on their memories of national/world and personal events and their social background characteristics. The usual curvilinear association of memories with the critical years was identified, indicating that the destabilizing experience of emigration does not disrupt established patterns of memories. Indeed, the percentages of emigrants mentioning specific events corresponded closely to percentages of respondents in Russia and Ukraine mentioning the same events in a survey ten years earlier. Implications of the lasting nature of memories are considered. I hypothesized that the emigration period itself would serve as a source of significant memories, increasing mentions of events from the time of emigration. This hypothesis was not supported for mentions of national or world events, but memories of personal events showed associations with both the time of adolescence/early adulthood and the time of emigration. Moreover, the nature of the emigration experience itself affected memories: respondents who experienced emigration against the background of social and political turmoil (1989-91) or as an irrevocable breach in their lives (before 1989) were more likely to have memories of emigration than later emigrants, an association opposite in direction to any possible effect of recency. These results are consistent with explanations identifying novel experiences and the (re)shaping of identity as factors responsible for observed patterns of memories.

▼ This dissertation provides a quantitative impact evaluation of a community-based development project, the Mahila Samakhya programme in India. This is a women’s empowerment programme that mobilizes
women from the lowest castes and poorest families to set up women groups in their village. With support from the programme, they are encouraged to identify their most urgent needs and find solutions to jointly address them.
Community-based development projects have become increasingly popular in development cooperation. So far, their popularity has not been matched with an equal attention for quantitative evidence on their effectiveness. This study investigates the impact
of the Mahila Samakhya programme, based on a unique dataset that the author collected in 2003.
The results show that Mahila Samakhya has significantly improved trust and cooperation among participants, as well as immunization rates, schooling and access to informal credit. Moreover, the evaluation finds evidence of substantial externalities on
households who do not participate in the programme themselves but who live in a village where the programme is active. Not taking into account such spillover effects would seriously underestimate the impact of the programme. However, the study does
not find evidence of the hypothesized self-reinforcing mechanism between social capital and collective action.

▼ The Social Work Grand Challenges have drawn attention to the fact that problems facing people across the world are typically complex and need collaborative practices to be addressed. Cross-sector social partnerships are being used across the globe to engage multiple sectors to improve communities. The field of social work needs to be innovative in the ways that it equips students and those in the practice to work with multiple sectors and community efforts to see social change. In particular, the business sector has an increasing presence in social change efforts. As businesses have not been traditional partners, social workers need to have a better understanding of the potential value and downsides of working with the business sector.
This research brings together three different studies to understand how social work leaders perceive potential partnership with the business sector, explore ways that emerging ecosystem change models can be helpful in creating social change, and investigate how nonprofit leaders of ecosystem change partnerships want to collaborate with businesses. Findings of the studies are presented in three manuscripts to be submitted to identified target scholarly journals. References are accumulated at the end of this document, and conclusions are drawn across both studies.
The importance of interdisciplinary work and cross-sector partnerships is also seen throughout the two studies and three articles. Together, the research has implications for those addressing social change through collaboration. All three articles identify leadership needs within the social service sector and a potential for cross-sector partnership frameworks, particularly
collective impact, to drive large-scale social change. Further, a case could be made that articles one and three tie together a specific need for social work to be not only engaged, but leaders within community collaborations.
