▼ China is in the process of implementing a learning society through the establishment of
learning cities, learning organizations, and learning communities. Even though the structure of the learning community system is in place, practitioners have found it hard to recruit learners
when learners’ needs were neglected. The traditional knowledge transmission model where the
learners passively accept knowledge from the “authorized” instructor was criticized for not
taking into account learners’ experiences and the
social and cultural context of the knowledge
(Buffington, 2003).
Due to sparse research addressing knowledge construction within a geographical learning community, the purpose of this study was to understand how knowledge is constructed
in the Shanghai Zhabei Learning Community in China. This embedded case study employed the
constant comparative method to analyze data collected from interviews, observations and
document analysis. The community for the case was one of the 18 districts in Shanghai.
Data analysis revealed five patterns of knowledge construction and the factors shaping
knowledge construction. Specifically, the five patterns of knowledge construction are: radiation, circulation, simulation, socialization, and contextualization. Factors that shape knowledge construction include: the socio-cultural factors of the political bureaucracy, economic reform,
and traditional Chinese values of hierarchy and moderation; factors specific to the learning
community also shaped knowledge construction. Those factors are government support, learning
embedded in community development, creation of a harmonious learning environment,
comprehensive learning networks, and lineal and non-lineal learning structures. Four conclusions
have been reached. First, knowledge construction is a socially embedded collective learning
process. Second, tools such as cultural products and discourses promote knowledge construction. Third, multi-layer networks and learning structures shape knowledge construction in the learning community. Fourth, the hierarchical
social system, conservative
social values, and economic reforms shape knowledge construction.
Implications for practitioners and policy makers are discussed and suggestions are
offered for future research.

▼ This thesis is an exploratory study of the Kitchener John School Diversion Program. As a primarily community-based initiative, this program has been developed in response to a particular social problem, street prostitution. The primary focus of the program is to address the problem by targeting the clients of prostitutes. Using a contextual constructionist framework, eight qualitative, semi-structured interviews and three participant observation sessions were conducted to explore and understand how the John School works within the context of its objectives and mandate. Four research questions have been developed to achieve this and focus on (1) how program objectives are implemented within the operation of the diversion program, (2) how stakeholders problematize prostitution and its social actors, (3) what the social conditions and characteristics related to the social construction of prostitution are, as perceived by the social actors, and finally, (4) how the diversion program addresses the problem of prostitution.
Through analysis of the data collected, key findings emerge that help to contextualize the diversion program within a broader understanding of its mandates and operations. Specifically, four objectives are identified as the primary goals of the school, being knowledge dissemination, accountability, diversion and change. There are notable discrepancies, however, in terms of how program staff interpret these objectives within the context of their program lectures and materials. Additionally, while strong themes and typifications emerge with respect to how prostitution and its social actors are problematized by the program staff, these themes and typifications have a tendency to conflict with one another when presented to the participants. For example, where prostitution is understood to be a social problem with a number of victims and perpetrators, the participants are frequently typified simultaneously as both victim and villain. In light of these discrepancies, however, it appears that the intended objectives and the actual operation of the diversion program both work towards the same, ultimate goal: change.

▼ Disability is a core concept in rehabilitation sciences, and specifically in occupational therapy. Critical disability theory challenges the ways that disability is understood, and disability scholars have challenged rehabilitation professionals to reconsider how they conceptualize disability. The way that disability is given meaning is central to the profession of occupational therapy because it can influence client-therapist interactions, treatment plans and interventions, research agendas, services offered, and the development of policy. In my research, I address the need to examine how disability has been given meaning in occupational therapy. I adopt an overarching critical theoretical approach informed by
social constructionism to examine the meaning of disability in the profession of occupational therapy. The objectives of the research include examining: a) how disability is presented in occupational therapy literature; b) what this tells us about the ideological, political, and theoretical underpinnings of disability; and c) what the dominant discourses of disability are in occupational therapy literature. I draw on methods developed by Fairclough to conduct a critical discourse analysis of highly influential Canadian occupational therapy texts (Muriel Driver Memorial Lectureships). The analysis is presented in two parts, discussing: (1) how disability has been broadly defined or described in the texts through written language and visual images; and (2) the existential meaning of disability in the texts. The implications of text and dominant discursive practices related to disability on the professional practices of occupational therapy are discussed. Critical examination of how disability is conceptualized in occupational therapy allows for the consideration of alternative views of disability, which are likely to influence future occupational therapy theory, practice, and knowledge.

▼ In this thesis I argue for anti-realism about race. Simply put, human races do not exist. The debate between biological naturalists, social constructionists, and anti-realists about race takes place against a backdrop of broad agreement about the scientific findings on human biological diversity. For the most part, the debate is not about the facts of human diversity, but about how to interpret those facts. A racial interpretation of human diversity relies on a definition of race which is too weak to revive race as a legitimate category of biological classification. Social constructionists define race socially, which leads to a distorted history of the concept, and limits the ways in which our racial categories might be constructed. Yet human biological diversity (which is not properly described as ‘racial’) and social factors do play important roles in the construction of our racial categories. We should replace racial ontology, I suggest, with the process ontology of racialisation. I argue that racialisation is the product of the ongoing interaction between a number of factors: social, cultural, historical, biological, lingual, religious, geographic, psychological, political, and so on. I call this view ‘interactive constructionism’. The products of this process are racialised groups, not races. Races are not real, racialised groups are. We should be interactive constructionists about racialised groups.

▼ Under the banner of social constructionism, this study examined meaning making around tragedy. This was achieved through investigating the category of tragedy; in particular, how the category is applied and under what conditions it is deployed. Secondly, the study investigated the discursive resources with which we make sense of tragedy. The specific aims of this research were to examine how the category of tragedy is utilised in language; how meaning making around tragedies occurs in the discursive context; and to investigate how these resources are flexibly combined in both diverse and shared patterns understanding of tragedy. The scope of this research entailed (1) an examination of public text about tragedies in order to develop an understanding of the circumstances in which the category is deployed and what is being achieved by this deployment; (2) an identification of the resources available in public text via which we make sense of tragedy, and (3) an application of a representative sample of ways of talking about tragedy in order to investigate the ways in which these are flexibly and meaningfully combined. Two methodologies were employed to address these aims: a discursive psychological analysis and Q method. Social constructionism has provided an overarching framework for much of the unpacking of discursive interaction that occurs in a variety of settings. Social constructionism has highlighted the constructive and performative nature of language use, and under its umbrella, many hitherto taken-for-granted phenomena have been investigated. Within psychology, this has meant a reconceptualisation of the individual and many of the processes presumed by psychology to be intrinsically individual processes, such as memory, attitudes, attribution, motivation, and social categorisation. Following in the relatively new and arguably non-mainstream tradition of the application of social constructionist theorising and methodologies, this study explores tragedy from this fresh perspective, using a mixed method approach to do so. Material for the discursive analysis was gathered from two national newspapers (The Australian and The Sydney Morning Herald) spanning approximately a two-year period. Articles where the word tragedy was used or could reasonably be expected to be used were collected. This material was examined in order gain a sense of ‘characteristics’ of tragedy; what functions its use performed in the public text; and to investigate whether the meaning making themes identified in previous research were apparent in this data. Of interest were the variable ways the category of tragedy was utilised, the characteristics that appeared to make deployment of the category more likely, and the themes deployed in making sense of tragedy. Analysis demonstrated that the category of tragedy is applied flexibly across a range of situations, events, and outcomes and that its application performs different functions in different situations. For example, the descriptor ‘tragedy’ can signal the profound nature of an event and…

▼ This research applied a two-step triangulation approach to the study of mother-daughter communication in arranged marriages among the religious Sunnis of Beirut, Lebanon. Combining the theory of structuration and relational dialectics in one theoretical framework, the study investigated the role of mother-daughter interactions in the socialization of the daughter into the marital experience. The study investigated the process of marital socialization by first surveying 199 mother-daughter dyads, representing 398 individuals. In the second step, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 families (three interviews per dyad), randomly selected out of the 199 surveyed pairs. The dyadic data analysis of the surveys assessed mother-daughter generational difference and the interdependence of their views on marriage, taking into consideration the daughter‟s marital status (single, engaged, and married). Findings revealed that mother-daughter interdependence moved in a curvilinear fashion. The mother and her engaged daughter converged in their marital views, then slightly diverged as the daughter‟s relationship with her husband progressed. The analysis of the 36 interviews examined stancemaking in the reported speeches of past mother-daughter conversations, and dialogues that took place during the third mother-daughter interviews. The stance analysis revealed the flow of socialization (one-way for the mother, and conversational for the daughter), and the three main lines of socialization: Structuration rules related to male-female interactions, criteria for selecting the ideal husband, and guidelines on how to become a good wife and mother. The analysis of stance alignments also exposed four mother-daughter relational dialectics happening during the arranged marriage process: Real versus ideal, powerful versus powerless, individual versus collective, and connection versus separation. Those dialectics corresponded to the fundamental tensions and the power resources that influenced both the daughter‟s marital structuration and her relationship with her mother during the marital process. The main findings were discussed at the end in line with mother-daughter connection, and the cultural schema of gender among the religious Sunnis of Beirut, Lebanon. The socialization involved in arranged marriages constitutes a turning-point in mother-daughter relationship, and a potential source of institutionalizing the perception of women as fragile beings in constant need of protection.

▼ Addiction has been predominantly viewed through the lens of the individual, thereby leaving the family largely out of the scope of treatment or prevention. Csiernik (2002) calls the family the ‘secondary element’ in addiction treatment. The definitions of addiction and research on the prevalence of use are examples of this narrow, individual focus.
This qualitative study sought to widen the lens and explore the family’s experiences of addiction. Families’ voices will be presented and their perspectives captured regarding what would be helpful to them in addiction treatment. This study’s theoretical underpinnings are Family Systems Theory and Social Constructionism. Interviews with the participants were conducted through the use of an open-ended interview process. Interpretive data analysis and phenomenology were used to explore possible themes and meanings to gain a better understanding of the participants’ perspectives regarding addiction.
The main finding of this study, based on the testimony of the participants, was that families perceived there to be a need for more clinical and supportive services to deal with the impact of addictions on the family. This study fills a gap in the literature because, though there is ample research on the consequences of addiction for the family, there is very limited research on the family’s perspective regarding what services they require in order to cope with those consequences. The information supplied by the participants of this study will help social workers and treatment centers provide more holistic, family-centered addiction treatment.

▼ Menstruation is a quintessential phenomenon unique to females which prepares the body for reproductive functioning. Although this phenomenon is a natural biological process of development,
social institutions such as science, socio-cultural factors, religion and the media impact young women’s perceptions of menstruation. Media, in particular advertising has been instrumental in conveying specific versions of reality that mirrors Western capitalist and patriarchal ideologies of women and their bodily processes. Media representations of menstruation portrays it as a ‘hygiene crisis’, rational and in need of symptomatic treatment. Media portrayal of women’s bodies highlights the importance of identifying ways in which advertising contributes to young women’s perceptions of menstruation. The aims of this study are twofold; firstly this study aims to understand how young women’s perceptions of menstruation are constructed. Secondly, this study also aims to explore young women’s perceptions of menstrual product advertising in print media. Literature shows that the media often portrays menstruation as a ‘hygiene crisis’ instead of a maturation process. Improved hygiene seems to be the rationale and modern answer of ‘treating’ symptoms. Literature also identifies advertising as a pervasive form of media, which is often unconsciously acknowledged, and it is thought to convey specific versions of reality in order to mirror Western capitalist and patriarchal ideology. Taking these factors into consideration shows the importance of identifying ways in which advertising contributes to young women’s perceptions of menstruation. Positioned within a
social constructionist framework, specifically on macro
social constructionism the emphasis is on unpacking power relations and how this exercises
social control over women. The use of
social constructionism strengthens the study with focusing on the importance of how perceptions are constructed through interactions with our environments. This study utilized a qualitative approach using focus groups as the data collection method. The sample comprised of 16 participants recruited from the female population aged 18-23 years from a University in the Western Cape. Foucauldian discourse analysis was employed to analyse the data collected. All ethical requirements as stipulated by the University were strictly adhered to. This study will therefore contribute to the dearth of literature in the South African context as literature in this area is very limited and inaccessible. This study in particular contributes to the South African body of knowledge by furthering the understanding of how societal messaging influences and perpetuates power relations and the
social control of women.

▼ The
social work knowledge base is steeped in discourse about oppression in terms of how it is created, sustained, and experienced, but there is less knowledge about privilege and how it is experienced. The purpose of this study is to explore how
social workers in direct practice experience their privilege. To achieve this, the study utilizes the framework of
social constructionism and the phenomenological method to describe, interpret, and understand the experiences of 20
social workers who have face-to-face interactions with their clients. Data analysis of the semi-structured interviews resulted in six themes, which are: (a) moving target, (b) the embeddedness of power, (c) variegated experiences, (d) assorted emotions, (e) reflection is not a priority, and (f) the pyramid will always exist. Findings indicate that privilege is not a uniform sociological phenomenon. By proposing privilege as a moving target, the study recognizes the different but fluid categories of
social identities, professional status, sense of personal agency, and the contexts of
social work practice, as well as the multiplicity of experiences of
social workers. As the demographics of
social workers become increasingly diverse, there is the need to recognize the privilege and vulnerabilities which simultaneously play out in therapeutic encounters.
Social work agencies and organizations should provide space for open dialogue regarding privilege and power, and mitigate against the possibility of oppression of
social workers.

▼ Prison sex research has generally followed an essentialist theoretical approach. Only
Alarid (2000) examined jail sex using a
social constructionist approach to understanding
sexuality behind bars. Using data collected from 142 male inmates in a Southern maximumsecurity
correctional facility, the purpose of the present study was to examine whether engaging
in sexual behavior affects a change in the sexual orientation of male prison inmates, using a
social constructionist theoretical approach. In addition, the influence of several sociodemographic
and situational variables on the change in sexual orientation was examined. The
only statistically significant variable associated with a change in sexual orientation was engaging
in homosexual behavior. Inmates were over 52 times more likely to change their sexual
orientation if they engaged in homosexual activity while incarcerated, supporting the
social
constructionist theoretical approach.

▼ This essay looks to examine how eight religious women within Sunni Islam and Conservative Judaism in Sweden perceive their place in the religious community. The essay in itself rests on the theories of social constructionism and intersectionality, along with a qualitative interview study conducted with the eight different women. The results show that the women have very different opinion in regards to their thoughts about their place in the religious community depending on a variety of pre-consisting social factors which includes (but are not limited by) religious background, ethnicity and culture. Some women feel satisfied with their place in the religious community and in society while others call for a change to be made both in the religious community they belong to and in the society they live in.

▼ Over the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of criminal charges laid against those who do not disclose their HIV-positive status to their sexual partners. The criminalization of HIV non-disclosure has generated an intense debate which is the object of this analysis. Using a social constructionist framework, particularly the work of Donileen Loseke, a leading social problems theorist, and documentary data drawn primarily from the internet, my goal is to shed light on the debate. More specifically, I am concerned with definitional contests or competing constructions inherent in the debate. The dissertation is organized around three papers. The first paper explores how the condition of HIV itself is socially constructed in the debate. Claims-makers who support criminal sanctions construct the disease as deadly and devastating, while claims-makers who oppose criminalization construct HIV as chronic and manageable. The second paper explores the rhetorical strategies used by those who support criminalization to construct non-disclosers as villains. I coined the term techniques of vilification to capture these strategies. The third paper examines the rhetorical strategies used by those who oppose criminalization to neutralize the label of victim for partners of non-disclosers. As a whole, the dissertation contributes to a better understanding of social problems claims-making processes, particularly around the construction of conditions and people. The dissertation also makes contributions to ongoing discussions in the sociology of health and illness, and victimology.
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This thesis investigates the debate around the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure with an emphasis on the Canadian context. Adopting a social constructionist approach, particularly as it has been used in the sociological study of social problems, and building on the work of social problems theorist Donileen Loseke, the thesis explores three themes: 1) how claims-makers understand HIV as a condition based on whether they support or oppose criminalization, 2) how claims-makers who support criminalization vilify those who do not disclose their HIV-positive status, and 3) how claims-makers who oppose criminalization work to downplay claims to victimhood by partners of non-disclosers. This work contributes to our understanding of the definitional contests underlying the debate. More broadly, it contributes to our understanding of social problems claims-making processes.

▼ Dentro da proposta de estruturação da política nacional de saúde as contribuições da integralidade na produção de serviços e ações de saúde de qualidade, resolutivos e satisfatórios ainda têm gerado grandes desafios. Assim, acreditando que a orientação de novas maneiras de entender e de produzir saúde, norteadas pela integralidade emergem de sentidos produzidos sobre esse termo, em contextos relacionais e dialógicos específicos, esse estudo teve por objetivo descrever os sentidos de integralidade produzidos com os trabalhadores de equipes de Saúde da Família (SF), relativos ao cotidiano de suas práticas de atenção à saúde, em uma cidade mineira. Utilizamos o discurso Construcionismo Social como uma ferramenta metodológica para produzirmos e analisarmos as informações. Essa produção ocorreu por meio de registros de diário de campo e três encontros grupais, áudio graváveis. Seguidamente as informações foram transcritas, editadas e analisadas, produzindo duas tematizações, com dois subtemas cada: 1) Quando os participantes recorrem ao discurso vinculado às práticas dos trabalhadores: Pressupõe em o trabalhador se integrar com a vida, às necessidades do paciente lá fora, que não são somente biológicas, para atendê-lo como um todo... integralmente - integralidade: apreensão ampliada dos trabalhadores em relação às pessoas atendidas, enquanto sujeitos integrados e influenciados por diferentes dimensões, contextualizadas ao longo de suas vidas; Trabalhadores e usuários não devem ter uma visão só curativa, só pontual para a doença que o paciente sofre e achar que é o remédio que faz o milagre - integralidade: capacidade dos trabalhadores de escutar e apreender de forma ampliada as necessidades apresentadas pelos usuários e das melhores maneiras possíveis de respondê-las. 2) Quando os participantes recorrem ao discurso associado à organização dos serviços saúde. Esse desdobrou-se em: Colocar o usuário do lado de dentro do serviço, considerando-o enquanto sujeito de necessidades, para organizar serviços de forma a ver suas necessidades e inseri-las dentro das prioridades de atenção dos trabalhadores - integralidade: capacidade dos trabalhadores, gestores e usuários, conjuntamente apreenderem as necessidades da população, elaborarem e implementarem respostas; Envolver todos os serviços de saúde e outros pontos de serviços na comunidade para dar segmento, continuidade no tratamento - integralidade: caracterizada pela articulação entre os vários serviços em uma rede para garantir o acesso às necessidades demandadas pelo usuário. Essas conversações produzidos foram suficientes ora para gerar autoanálise e reflexões das práticas vigentes, visando desconstruir aspectos de um projeto tradicional, vinculado ao homem fragmentado, ora para gerar primeiras aproximações do sentido da integralidade, enquanto uma postura de articulação de diversos tipos de tecnologias para responder às necessidades de várias naturezas dos usuários.

Constructing clinical judgments about preschool pragmatic

▼ The literature suggests that children who struggle
with communication during social interactions, called pragmatic
language in the field of speech language pathology, have fewer
opportunities to engage in social practices that promote learning
because of inadequate skills in interacting with others. Children
with even subtle difficulties in pragmatic language tend to have
fewer friends, and more difficulties with aspects of behavior,
mental health and learning. The American Speech-Language and
Hearing Association recommends that pragmatic language assessment
be part of complete communication assessment; however, research
indicates this area is not assessed in a majority of children.
Furthermore, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) do not always
share the same definition of pragmatic language nor consistent ways
to assess it. There are at least three distinctly different
theoretical frameworks available to inform speech-language
pathologists (SLPs) about the nature of pragmatic language, each
suggesting different units of analysis and assessment tools. This,
in turn, can result in an educational problem as, depending on the
theoretical framework of the SLP evaluating them, children with the
same pragmatic language problems may or may not be appropriately
identified and, thus, served. Assuming a socio-constructivist
framework and an action research paradigm, this study was designed
with the ultimate goal of improving the pragmatic language
assessment practices of the SLPs working in my clinic, as well as
to contribute local knowledge about SLPs’ understanding and
practices with respect to pragmatic language. At the core of the
study is an intervention that engaged a group of SLPs from my
clinic in a study group around pragmatic language. This led to two
concrete products for the clinic: 1) a co-constructed operational
definition of pragmatic language that melded five theoretical
frameworks from the fields of cognitive psychology, education,
sociology and linguistics and 2) a statement of best practices for
assessment of pragmatic language. This statement included a
critique of assessment methodologies and additional factors to
consider in assessment. Participants in the study group were active
collaborators and engaged in a plan-act-observe-reflect research
spiral. Analysis of individual’s responses through the course of
the study revealed a transformation in how participants defined and
assessed pragmatic language because of the action research
process.
As a practitioner, this study deepened my personal
knowledge of the practices of local speech language pathologists in
understanding and assessing pragmatic language. It reinforced the
importance of a community of learners in continuing professional
education programs and highlighted the value of reflective
practices. Contributions to the agency included (a) development of
a collective understanding of pragmatic language by the
participating SLPs, (b) creation of an operational definition to
guide clinical judgment in assessing and describing children with

▼ Social entrepreneurs play the role of the "change maker" in society by adopting business practices to create and sustain
social value within the
social sector. These individuals engage in processes that explore innovation and new opportunities to serve their missions.
Social entrepreneurs are continually being described as visionaries, suggesting a defining characteristic of
social entrepreneurs that they are relentless in their pursuit of fulfilling their vision. As
social entrepreneurs continue to receive international attention for their goals for
social change and innovation, it is important to further analyze
social entrepreneurs from a communication perspective because it is believed that it is the entrepreneurs' personal mission, internal values and motivation that is likely to drive their ventures. Drawing on
social constructionist perspective and organizational identity research to provide a theoretical lens, this research explores
social entrepreneurs through in-depth interviews to explore the impact visionary leaders have on their
social enterprises.

▼ In November 2006 and July 2007, changes were made to the Social Services Law and the Criminal Injuries Law, defining children who have witnessed domestic violence as crime victims. The objective of our study is to examine if these changes have affected how social workers responsible for child protection inquiries interact with children who have witnessed domestic violence, and to what extent these children’s need of support are taken into account. Qualitative interviews have been carried out with five social workers, with the aim to evaluate how they meet and become aware of these children. Our problem-formulation is based upon the question how social services implement the recent changes to the law. The framework for analysis combines a social constructionist approach with a critical perspective. The study identifies shortcomings when it comes to the ways in which these children are encountered and the extent to which they are allowed to participate in the investigation process. The social workers interviewed have little knowledge about how children are affected by domestic violence, and also about these children’s need of help and support. The study further shows that children are not perceived as actors that have a right to participation and to be involved in the process. However, even if parents tend to be the focal point of child protection inquiries, there are also social workers who try to bring children’s rights to the fore and find ways to support these. The study thus supports the notion that it is important to see children as actors and individuals in their respective situation rather than as passive victims whose needs are overshadowed by those of the adults.

▼ Heroin usage is on the increase in the Western Cape province of South Africa owing to
globalization and to increased access to the drug in this province. The goal of this study is to
explore the experiences of coloured heroin users in the Metro South area of Cape Town, which
stretches from Simons Town and Muizenberg to Retreat, Lavender Hill, Grassy Park, Parkwood
and Wynberg. These individuals have been found to congregate in the Wynberg CBD. The
overarching theoretical framework for the purpose of this research is
social constructionism and
symbolic interactionism, using a qualitative means of inquiry. Snowball sampling was used to
recruit prospective participants and data was collected by means of in-depth interviews, with a
semi structures interviewing schedule. The questions informed the subsequent themes and
categories that arise from the data collection process.
Snowball sampling was employed in this case, a non-probability sample, in which participants
were recruited via key informants. The sample distribution included 13 participants, 10 of which
were heroin users (5 female, 5 male) and the remaining 3 were key informants which contributed
to triangulation of the data.

▼ Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
In the realm of BDSM there are a few different roles. There is a dominant, which is a person who controls a BDSM scene. There is a submissive, which is a person who gives up control to the dominant during a scene. In a BDSM scene, there must always be a person who is playing the role of a dominant and a person who is in the role of the submissive. This study looks at two different identities associated with the dominate role, lifestyle and professional. This study aims to compare and contrast the two identities on their backgrounds, how they identify themselves, and their views on tribute. Tribute is receiving either gifts or money in exchange for BDSM services. Two theories, social constructionism and exchange theory, were used to create the interview questions for this survey. For this study I interviewed four lifestyle dominatrices and three professional dominatrices. Data from six blogs, three lifestyle dominatrices’ blogs and three professional dominatrices’ blogs, were used as well. My findings suggest that in discovery of, and in BDSM play, the dominatrices are similar and that the defining difference between lifestyles and professionals is the acceptance of money. My findings also conflict a little with Viviana Zelizer’s theory that the receiver of a gift is necessarily submissive to the giver.

▼ According to Ulrich Beck's theory of reflexive modernisation people today suffer from insecurity and constant risks in all aspects of their life. A major factor dictating their individual biographies is their work. Work in today's world has become an essential ingredient in defining personal identities and relationships. For Beck as a consequence of the modern work environment new insecurities and inequalities in comparison to the industrial epoch have emerged; a development of risk biographies. This thesis examines how international professionals in the Greater Helsinki Region construct and negotiate the meaning of their work and the organisation of their work. Specifically, through the critical discourse analytic method of Norman Fairclough the focus of the research is on the impact of power and ideology of new capitalism on individual discourses. This is studied by exploring whether a shift emerges in the participants' discourses of their work during interviews pertaining to the new financial crises of the late 2000s as well as the impact of the effects of the information age. The data is supported by the method of reflexive social processes of participant observation. The analysis of the interviews shows that the individuals, in contrast to the theory of reflexive modernity, did not present themselves as insecure nor facing constant risk in their individual discourse of work; even during discussions of the new financial crisis. Instead, it was discovered that the participants constructed themselves as in control of their biographies, both disciplined and self-managed, in contrast to the volatility of the market forces. The observed feelings of self-management are in accordance with Fairclough's original thesis and demonstrate that the participants have internalised new capitalism's ideology of neo-liberalism, further propelling the cause of the capitalist market forces in their work places. By internalising this ideology the participants were found to be experiencing alienation, predicted by Karl Marx, struggling with the loss of meaning towards their work, as described by Max Weber and at risk of anomie discussed by Emile Durkheim.

▼ Change directed at
social justice has been partial at best because it leaves the larger unequal context and structures in place.
Social work generally takes place in the context of unequal power relation on individual/cultural/structural levels. The inquiry’s aim is to broaden the perspective on change to facilitate
social justice. A qualitative approach that is exploratory and descriptive with a flare of phenomenology was used. Anti-oppressive constructionist research is the point of departure. As such the research attempts to be consistent with values of equality where participants are partners and share in the creation of the inquiry. So in the beginning only preliminary questions designed to provide context and stimulate thought about change are explored. The goals and objectives of the inquiry are to discover and describe the perceptions of activists and literature thus expanding meanings of
social justice and how it can be facilitated. In the
inquiry, motivation to work for change, what is needed to facilitate
social justice, what blocks change for
social justice and the values and principles that underlie change for
social justice are explored. The inquiry asks the question: How can
social workers and the profession of
social work facilitate change for
social justice?

▼ Intentional communities are formed by a group of people who have voluntarily chosen to live together for a range of reasons in the creation of a shared lifestyle. They concern practical forms of living that may reflect diverse structures and distinct philosophies. The intentional community literature is both broad and unique in its representation of intentional community living. Intentional communities may also be considered sites that form the basis for resisting mainstream forms of living and representations of subjectivity. Through an active process of self-constitution, participants engaged in communal forms of living may construct different identities and styles of life.
Although the term ‘intentional community’ is fairly recent, notions of utopian living have a long history. Forms of utopian living can be found in early biblical times, while Foucault’s domain of ‘ethics’ is also derived from what the intentional community literature considers to be early utopian communities. Despite an extensive literature, very little research explicitly focuses on communal living as a form of ethics as praxis. This may be due to the characterisation of ethics as a form of rules, duties and consequences, rather than ethics as a relationship that a person cultivates with their ‘self’. Foucault’s domain of ethics provides a valuable context to explore whether intentional community living can be theorised as a Foucauldian form of ethics.
Although there is contemporary interest in Foucault’s domain of ethics, relatively few texts have sought to use Foucault’s ethical conceptualisation as a qualitative methodology in the context of empirical research. Even fewer studies have drawn on Foucault’s theoretical framework in the context of empirical research on intentional communities. This is despite a number of themes that the literature shares concerning notions of resistance, identity as a form of selfconstitution and the potentially transformative effect of communal living. This research therefore seeks to make a significant contribution to a relatively underresearched and under-theorised area of the literature.
Drawing on Foucault’s ethics as a theoretical framework, this thesis explores twenty-eight narratives of participants who live on five rural communities in northern NSW, Australia. Fieldwork was conducted over a nine-month period between 2004 and 2005, with periods of time spent on each community. One community was revisited for the purpose of collecting further empirical data. Foucault’s ethical analysis and Foucauldian constructionism are used in the analysis and interpretation of the interviews that resulted from this fieldwork. Where individual interviews were not undertaken, a document analysis of former empirical research serves to affirm participant observations. Ethical issues concerning confidentiality and representation were addressed through the
attendance at communal or ‘tribal’ meetings where required.
The findings suggest that intentional community living may be theorised as a Foucauldian form of ethics, with…

▼ This PhD takes a social constructionist approach (see Burr, 2003) to explore how professional women in Sri Lanka make sense of and enact their careers. By explaining career through the recursive relationship between social context and individual agency, this study adds new insights into existing understandings of women s careers which are dominated by psychological models of women s development over their lifespans (see Maneiro and Sullivan, 2005; O Neil and Bilimoria, 2005; Pringle and Dixon, 2003). Most importantly this study which addresses women s experiences in Sri Lanka fulfils a significant gap in the extant literature which has paid only little attention to careers in South Asian nations. This study is based on qualitative interviews (see King, 2004) conducted with 24 professional Sri Lankan women: eight in early career, eight in mid-career and eight in late career (see O Neil and Bilimoria, 2005). All respondents aspired to reach the highest possible level in their organisations hierarchies and therefore continuously engaged with work organisations, home and family and wider contextual structures in Sri Lanka in pursuit of achieving their career goals, contributing towards maintaining and/or transforming these social structures in the process. Based on these findings I developed a theoretical framework to understand women s careers in a dynamic and contextually significant manner. This framework highlights eight different strategies women use to develop their careers which has four possible social outcomes. In illuminating specifically what women do to advance their careers within their social contexts and with what implications this framework makes a significant contribution to the careers literature which gives only little attention to individuals career strategies. Moreover by appreciating both social context and individual agency as explanations of women s careers this model refrains from taking an overly deterministic (see McRae, 2003; Crompton, 2011) or voluntaristic (see Maneiro and Sullivan, 2005; O Neil and Bilimoria, 2005) stance to conceptualising women s career development. Second, I outline a South Asian model of women s career development highlighting family, moral notions, religious philosophies and wider belief systems such as astrology and horoscopes as central constituents of women s careers. I highlight how these understandings could be used to identify blind spots in existing literature and further develop prevailing ideas of women s careers in the West. Specifically I argue that traditional notions do not altogether disappear as societies develop (see Gerth and Mills, 1991), but rather individuals use these notions to walk towards modernity. Finally I conclude the thesis by outlining how scholars could develop my work further, calling upon authors to bring moral character, traditional notions and enchantment back to the careers field. Key words: Gender, Career development, Social constructionism, Sri Lanka.

group of people who gather together to achieve certain aims and
objectives in serving God within the Church. The iimanyano are
normally identified by means of a specific uniform, even though the
UPCSA (as with the reformed Church tradition) does not generally
wear a uniform. The uniform of the iimanyano therefore does not
have any specific origin. However, Chapter One of this study traces
the purpose of the iimanyano in that it was formed to evangelise
and reach out to black people within a cultural ethos. The research
embarks on narrative, qualitative interviews and follows a
participatory approach in discovering the problems that led to the
iimanyano deviating from their original focus. In Chapter Two, the
amalgamation of The Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa with the
Reformed Presbyterian Church of South Africa in 1999 is discussed.
(The emerging of these two Churches formed the Uniting Presbyterian
Church in Southern Africa.) The process of joining the iimanyano of
the two former (PCSA and RPCSA) Churches resulted in
dissatisfaction and caused several grievances. These tensions of
the iiimanyano are a threat to the union of the UPCSA. The study
investigates through narrative research why the problems still
persist. In Chapter Three, the narratives of the co-researchers in
the context of the Presbytery of Tshwane are presented. These
helped to identify certain experiences that the remaining iimanyano
in the UPCSA denomination still encounter. It is further indicated
that some underlining issues may have been rushed or underestimated
by the Special Commission on Union. An interesting observation is
that the tension is mostly referred to by the black members of the
former two churches. Furthermore, some members are suspicious of
any outside influence perpetuating the problem. In Chapter Four the
struggles within the body of Christ whereby the uniform issue among
the women is discussed. In Chapter Five, a narrative reflection on
the research findings and recommendations to the associations of
the UPCSA are given.

▼ Nodding syndrome, a so called new and mysterious illness, is affecting children in parts of South-Sudan, Uganda, and Tanzania. During the past decade more and more attention went out to this unknown illness from international media and scientists. Despite the growing amount of literature on nodding syndrome, little is known about how nodding syndrome is affecting Tanzania.
This anthropological study into nodding syndrome therefore focused on nodding syndrome in Tanzania, using a
social constructionist approach.
The construction of nodding syndrome in Tanzania is a complex process in which many different actors, discourses, and practices interact. This thesis shows how nodding syndrome in Tanzania is constructed through the friction that arises in the encounters between these different actors, discourses, and practices. Friction leads to continuous shifts in meaning of nodding syndrome in Tanzania, particularly visible in the encounters between actors constructing nodding syndrome internationally and the specific context of nodding syndrome in Tanzania.

▼ The object of this work is the concepts of
mental disorders as a social constructs and the role of the mass
media in the process of their construction. The main aim of the
dissertation is to analyze the representations of people with
mental disorders in the Lithuanian newspapers and news websites and
to examine manifestations of these depictions in the public
opinion. The dissertation consists of an introduction, four main
parts, conclusions and the list of references. In the first part of
the dissertation the theoretical methodological presumptions of P.
L. Berger’s and T. Luckmann’s theory of social constructionism are
presented and the phenomenon of the social construction of mental
disorders is analyzed using this theoretical framework. In the
second part the influence and importance of the mass media in the
process of constructing representations of social phenomena,
including mental disorders is presented. The methods of the
empirical research are presented in the third part of the work.
Analysis and interpretations of the empirical research data are
presented in the fourth part of the dissertation. At the end of the
work conclusions are stated. The main aim of the dissertation was
reached by conducting a three staged empirical research combining
qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research methods
were: the analysis of the mass media publications using methods of

▼ Senatvės dažniausiai siejama su neigiamais

▼ This thesis focuses on how masculinity and femininity are
constructed in alcohol advertisements in the print form,
specifically in For Him Magazine (FHM) and Gentlemen’s Quarterly
(GQ) . Alcohol advertisements address the reader in a way that
sells the lifestyle that is associated with the product. Within the
lifestyle depicted in the advertisement, there may also be an
identity and a specific gender identity that the reader may be
encouraged to incorporate in order to achieve the lifestyle
associated with the advertised product. Advertising in general has
often been implicated in constructing masculinity, and in
particular, femininity in narrow or restricted ways. South African
advertising has been found to depict women as passive sex objects
and men as strong, intelligent and as the dominant gender. The mass
media and advertising use and extend upon existing societal ‘norms’
and discourses regarding the construction of masculinity and
femininity by sending these discourses or constructions back into
society in the form of advertising. A discourse analysis was
employed to investigate to what extent advertising has used gender
based societal discourses as well as what dominant structures or
portrayals of gender appear in South African alcohol advertising.
By using the qualitative method of discourse analysis as well as a
social constructionist paradigm, several discourses were
identified. These included the discourses of patriarchy, violence
as a masculine quality, men being unemotional and independent,
women’s bodies as sexual objects, male companionship, a
heterosexual norm, an anti-hegemonic masculinity and a discourse of
glamorous heterosexuality. The results of the analysis discussed
how in alcohol advertising, women are still constructed in a
limiting and sometimes sexual manner whereas men are constructed in
a more variable way.

▼ Stories about HIV are everywhere. They are told (i.e.
constructed), heard (i.e. taken in) and then re-told (i.e. shared).
It is when we start asking questions about such stories, that new
story "versions" become available; to be told, heard and possibly
retold. Given the methodological boundaries connected to HIV
research, few research studies are able to utilize the research
context to venture beyond the mere collection (i.e. hearing) and
re-telling (i.e. sharing) of story experiences. As a result, the
hidden, alternative story "versions" which are "awakened" during
the research process, may remain untold. Over the course of 4
months, the researcher utilized the existing dialogical space of
the therapy context, as a practical platform for researching the
dominant, as well as the "absent but implicit" meaning of HIV.
Through ongoing dialogical interaction, this research journey set
out, to not only hear the dominant stories told about HIV, but also
to explore the hidden, preferred alternative story "versions". An
adolescent girl living with HIV acquired through mother-to-child
transmission, collaborated with the researcher to engage in this
journey of therapeutic co-research. With this narrative report, I
invite you to become an audience member to this unfolding journey.
Throughout this report, I used the word "journey" as a guiding
metaphor, situating the act of meaning making as a collaborative
ongoing process of co-research, rather than a collection of facts.
This research report is a narrative in itself and is subdivided
into three parts. Part I includes all chapters written before my
journey with the adolescent as co-researcher; part II includes all
aspects related to our journey as co-researchers; and part III
involves the time period after our journey as co-researchers. In
part I, chapter 1, I introduce you to my way of speaking (i.e.
narrative language), grounded in my way of seeing (i.e.
social
constructionist paradigm). In chapter 2, I shared with you my own
narrative in making sense of HIV through personal reflective
journal entries. By doing so, I acknowledge that I, researcher and
therapist also tell stories about HIV through my statements,
questions and everyday actions and interactions. In chapter 3, I
reviewed academic literature in an attempt to research how
adolescent HIV is "authored" (narrated) to the public by various
academic discourses. In chapter 4, I reviewed narrative research
studies of illness stories, relevant to adolescent HIV. Hereafter I
stated my research question, justification, aim, and objectives. In
chapter 5, I provide an overview of the research process, as was
undertaken for the purpose this journey. In part II, I introduce
you to "Gabby" (pseudonym), my co-researcher and co-author of this
narrative report. Gabby regularly received ART at the paediatric
out-patient unit at Kalafong Tertiary Provincial Hospital at the
time of our interaction. In chapter 6, I describe the project phase
(chapter6), alongside Gabby's participation. The project phase was
situated within a narrative…
