  • 1.  Help With Recruiting Research Subjects

    **Apologies for cross-posting**

    Dear Colleagues,

     

    I am presently recruiting expectant fathers for a qualitative study entitled, The Transition to Fatherhood: Men's Narrative Identity Work on the Path to Working Father. The purpose of this study is to investigate how men craft and enact their fatherhood identities, how they approach combining career and family, and what social and organizational constraints they face in the process.

     

    Participation in this study involves being interviewed on two separate occasions, once before the birth of a first child and once within 6-12 months of the birth of this child.   Each interview is expected to last approximately 60 minutes.  Sample criteria are as follows: 

    • First-time expectant father
    • Partnered/married
    • Bachelor's degree or above
    • Minimum 3-5 years full-time work experience in a professional/managerial role

    If you know anyone who might be interested in participating in this study, please contact me at cbataille@ithaca.edu.  All participants will receive a copy of the Executive Feedback Report at the conclusion of the study.

     

    Thanks!
    Christine

    A Harvard University study suggests that in colleges and universities, racism was prevalent in both overt and 'micro-aggression' forms, which includes subtle digs and biases (Caplan & Ford, 2014). Other studies have also suggested that racism in higher educational establishments can be covert (Brief, Dietz, Cohen, Pugh, & Vaslow, 2000; Dovidio & Gaertner, 2000). Some scholars also point out that decision-makers use social identity information to 'justify' their decisions as being seemingly objective ones (Norton, Vandello, & Darley, 2004). The purpose of this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is to explore the more subtle forms of racism in higher educational establishments around the world (which are becoming more diverse in terms of students and faculty). 


    Using case study presentations as a format, followed by in-depth discussions, the issues to be raised in this PDW range from racism in personnel decisions to faculty behavior in the classroom, to racist jibes by students.
