Disparities exist in the U.S. between the health status of African American and Hispanic individuals and the health status of non-Hispanic Caucasian individuals across all age groups. Those minority individuals age 55 and over are more likely to suffer from specific health disparities in areas such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer than their white majority counterparts. Among the most common chronic disorders experienced within this age group are obesity, type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease, all three of which collectively form what has recently become known as metabolic syndrome. As of 2004, metabolic syndrome is diagnosable once criteria are clinically significant for a variety of different risk factors designated by the World Health Organization. However, like many syndromes these criteria are not stable across individuals, and leaves variability between individuals being diagnosed. It has been seen that each of the above mentioned racial/ethnic groups experience the individual risk factors at disproportionate rates, making it plausible that metabolic syndrome could be experienced in distinctly different ways depending upon racial/ethnic background. Using two nationally representative data sets, it is first largely evident that African American and Hispanic individuals are reaching higher peak rates of diabetes and cardiovascular disease much earlier in age than are non-Hispanic Caucasian individuals. The study goes on to reveals that the metabolic syndrome appears to follow one underlying progressive syndrome that begins with obesity and progresses towards heart disease. Each of the racial/ethnic groups experience significantly different progressions of the syndrome across time. Behavioral analysis found significant differences in health behaviors across the three groups; however a more pervasive lack of initiative in practicing preventive health behaviors is also present. The study achieved a higher understanding of individual differences within metabolic syndrome and insight into how and at what time in the lifespan health services can be most beneficial in providing preventive services to culturally diverse populations.

Sexual violence (SV) is a pressing concern in the United States. SV (i.e., unwanted sexual contact, coercion, and wanted or unwanted penetration of another). Individuals with minoritized sexual, racial/ethnic, and gender identities experience worse psychosocial outcomes than their majority counterparts. People with multiple marginalized identities have been shown to experience traumatic events at greater rates and with significantly different outcomes compared to those with one minoritized identity. Cultural betrayal trauma theory proposes that these differences in mental health outcomes may be explained in part by a shared cultural identity between a SV perpetrator and victim, which is posited to exacerbate mental health symptomology. This study's sample consisted of 276 participants who were over the age of 18 and identified with both minoritized sexual and racial/ethnic identities. Results of this study failed to support most of the study's hypotheses yet confirmed that increase in mental health symptomology is associated with SV experience. This study indicates that research of cultural betrayal trauma may necessitate a more nuanced approach among individuals with multiple marginalized identities.

In the spring of 2024, a new regulation was introduced in Sweden that makes it possible to establish security zones, previously referred to as stop and search zones. This thesis examines the compatibility of security zones with key principles of the rule of law and human rights in light of the prevalence of racial/ethnic profiling. The study sheds light on both the legal and societal consequences that security zones and racial/ethnic profiling may entail. The paper applies a legal method, combined with two theories concerning structural racism and stigma. The interdisciplinary approach has proven crucial to enable a contextual analysis of security zones and racial/ethnic profiling, as well as to achieve a deeper understanding of the legal issues involved. The study identifies a gap in addressing racist actions in Sweden, resulting in weak protection against discrimination, particularly in the context of police law enforcement. Failure to acknowledge and take action against racial/ethnic profiling contravenes Sweden's international human rights obligations. Furthermore, a limited ability to address racism risks legitimizing serious restrictions on human rights and the rule of law, with the regulation of security zones serving as an example. The thesis suggests an increased interdisciplinary approach within the field of law, a well-balanced proportionality assessment, and a more comprehensive focus on the potential consequences of human rights restrictions. It also proposes an extension of the Swedish Discrimination Act to include protection against discriminatory actions by the police, and the establishment of an independent body to oversee the Police Authority.

Compared to their white counterparts, college students of color often have to deal with extra stressors associated with racial/ethnic (R/E) discrimination. R/E discrimination has been shown to be associated with a variety of negative outcomes, including increased psychological distress. This study aimed to better understand the negative impacts of R/E discrimination on college students of color by examining an indirect effect model in which discrimination affected psychological distress through perceived social support. Further, the moderating roles of three novel variables: social dominance orientation, collective coping, and internalized racism were explored. We predicted that social dominance orientation and collective coping would weaken the positive association between R/E discrimination and psychological distress whereas internalized racism would strengthen this relation. Participants of this study included 239 students of color recruited from a university in the southern United States who completed a research questionnaire measuring relevant variables. Results indicated that experienced discrimination was significantly correlated with elevated psychological distress for students of color and that experienced discrimination was related to diminished social support from family, which in turn, led to greater levels of psychological distress. However, none of the hypothesized moderations was found to be significant. Limitations of the current study, future directions, clinical implications and implications for diversity, equity, and inclusion are discussed.

Na pesquisa realizada, mediante análise de documentos oficiais, de atividades acadêmicas e de falas de entrevistados, nas três instituições, ao mesmo tempo em que se constataram alguns importantes indícios da visibilidade da temática e da inclusão dos afrodescendentes, deparou-se também com a real realidade da relação entre brancos e negros, em cada um dos três contextos, expressa em resistências à inclusão desta temática e de seus sujeitos, que se misturam com os avanços havidos. Estas resistências são disseminadas e focadas, com maior ou menor intensidade, e dizem respeito a cada contexto. Trabalhando questões relativas à exclusão/inclusão, à identidade, à visibilidade/invisibilidade, ao controle por reações e olhares, e às oportunidades, o estudo ajuda a constatar (ou desvendar): 1) dificuldades muito específicas vividas pela população afrodescendente, sobretudo, envolvendo processos sutis que excluem ou retardam a participação desta população nas decisões sociais, educacionais, inclusive nas decisões concernentes à sua própria identidade; 2) a percepção repetida de que afrodescendentes organizam trabalhos, criam possibilidades e condições, apresentam metodologias e projetos, mas, no final, a branquitude ou a branquidade acaba se apoderando e assumindo o protagonismo, com ou sem a participação desses; 3) o papel importante exercido pelas pastorais da Igreja Católica, nos três contextos, com destaque também ao forte papel exercido pelo diálogo inter-religioso em uma das instituições. A pesquisa, também, ajuda a verificar 1) a existência de processos históricos muito diferentes, comparando os três contextos, do movimento negro e, consequentemente, das relações étnico-raciais, assim como sua repercussão na maior ou menor sintonia das instituições pesquisadas com a temática em pauta; 2) a existência diferenciada de dinâmicas institucionais internas a cada uma das instituições, considerando a sua história institucional e as decisões oficiais recentes no que concerne às iniciativas em prol da institucionalização da Educação das Relações Étnico- Raciais. A constatação geral é de que existe um bom início de esforço pela inclusão e emancipação, mas há muito a fazer, pois prevalecem resistências e silêncios que às vezes se expressam em reações carregadas de sutileza e frieza. O estudo tem como referência na sua construção teórica aportes de Kwame Anthony Appiah, Florestan Fernandes, Alberto Melucci, Vron Ware, Maria Aparecida Bento, Kabenguele Munanga, Paulo Freire, Petronilha Beatriz Gonçalves da Silva e Silva, Nilma Lino Gomes, Frantz Fanon e outros. Dele resulta, de forma renovada, a partir das três instituições e seus contextos, a convicção de que a inclusão dos afrodescendentes é uma questão de ética e moral no que diz respeito a direitos sociais e de identidade étnico-racial, frente a uma dívida histórica da sociedade brasileira, quese deixou embalar em seu berço esplêndido de branquidade. / This dissertation seeks to determine the visibility of the Education of Racial-Ethnic Relations in the implementation of the concerning legislation in southern Brazil community colleges, being one from Vale do Rio Ivaí, in the State of Paraná, another from Vale do Rio Itajaí, in the State of Santa Catarina, and another one from Vale do Rio dos Sinos, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. In the research conducted by analysis of official documents, academic activities and interviewees speeches in the three institutions, while some important clues of visibility of the issue and of the inclusion of African descent people were found, one faces also the real reality of the relationship between blacks and whites in each of the three contexts, expressed as resistance to the inclusion of this subject and its subject, mixed with advances that has taken place. These resistances are widespread and focused, with more or less intensity, are related to each context. Taking into consideration subjects related to exclusion/inclusion, identity, visibility/invisibility, control by reactions and perceptions, and the opportunities, this paper helps to find or unveil 1) very specific difficulties experienced by people of African descent, especially involving subtle processes that exclude or hinder the participation of these people in social, educational decisions, including in the ones concerning their own identity; 2) the repeated perception that African descent people organize work, create opportunities and conditions, provide methodologies and projects, but in the end the whiteness end up taking hold and taking the leading role, with or without their participation; 3) the important role played by the Catholic Churchs pastoral organizations, in the three contexts, highlighting also the strong role played by inter-religious dialog institutions. The research also helps determine 1) the existence of very different historical processes, comparing the three contexts, of the black movement and, consequently, of ethnic-racial relations, as well as its impact with more or less consistency of the institutions researched in the issue in question, 2) the differentiated existence of internal institutional dynamics to each college, considering its institutional history and its official recent decisions regarding the initiatives for the institutionalization of the Education of Racial-Ethnic Relations. The general finding is that there is a good start to struggle for inclusion and empowerment, but there is much to do, because it is prevailing resistance and silences that sometimes manifest themselves in reactions loaded with finesse and coolness. The study is referred in its theoretical construction inputs by Kwame Anthony Appiah, Florestan Fernandes, Alberto Melucci, Vron Ware, Maria Aparecida Bento, Kabenguele Munanga, Paulo Freire, Petronilha Beatriz Gonçalves da Silva e Silva, Nilma Lino Gomes, Frantz Fanon and others. It results, from the three institutions and their contexts, the belief that the inclusion of African descent people is a matter of ethics and morality with regard to social rights and ethno-racial identity, compared to a historical debt of the Brazilian society, which left his pack in splendid cradle of whiteness.

O Programa de Reflexões e Debates para a Consciência Negra é um projeto político-pedagógico que desenvolveu uma metodologia de implementação da Lei n. 10.639 de 2003 em todas as disciplinas que compõem o currículo escolar do ensino médio. Esse projeto é realizado em uma unidade escolar de formação de ensino médio, situada no bairro de Quintino Bocaiúva, zona norte, da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, entre os anos de 2004 e 2008, especificamente no turno da noite. A promulgação dessa lei criou a obrigatoriedade de inserção dos conteúdos de História Africana e Cultura Afro-brasileira, nos currículos escolares em âmbito nacional. A partir da metodologia desenvolvida pelo Programa de Reflexões e Debates para a Consciência Negra, investigam-se, no presente trabalho, os sujeitos educativos, as práticas pedagógicas, a cultura escolar e as tensões e negociações cotidianas que ocorreram no processo de realização dessa nova proposta curricular. Para a realização desta análise foram utilizadas como aporte teórico-metodológicos teorias de Análise de Discurso (AD), estudos culturais sobre currículo e estudos etnográficos dos espaços educativos, para se compreender o contexto escolar e suas (re)configurações. As análises revelaram que a implementação da lei provocou a construção e reconstrução interna de estratégias e metodologias de trabalho. E que estas ações institucionalizaram internamente esta prposta curricular como missão institucional escolar, e ao mesmo tempo, a projetou para fora dos muros escolares criando diálogos e parcerias com demais setores da sociedade. / The Reflections Program and Debates for the Black Consciousness is a political-pedagogical project that developed a methodology for implementation of Law No. 10,639 of 2003 in all disciplines that comprise the curriculum of the school. This project is carried out in a school unit training school located in the neighborhood of Quintino Bocaiúva, north of the city of Rio de Janeiro, between the years 2004 and 2008, especially on the night shift. The enactment of this law created the mandatory inclusion of the contents of African History and Afro-Brazilian Culture, in school curricula nationwide. Based on the methodology developed by Reflections and Debate Program for Black Consciousness, can be investigated in this study, subjects educational, teaching practice, school culture and everyday tensions and negotiations that occurred in the process of realization of this new proposal curriculum. To conduct this analysis were used as the theoretical and methodological theories of Discourse Analysis (DA), cultural studies and ethnographic studies on curriculum of educational spaces, to understand the school context and its (re) configuration. The analysis revealed that the implementation of law caused the internal construction and reconstruction strategies and metologias work. And these actions internally institutionalized this curriculum as institutional mission school, and at the same time, the projected outside the school walls creating dialogues and partnerships with other sectors of society.

O tema gerador da pesquisa é consciência corporal e ancestralidade africana. Noto que, apesar dos terreiros de candomblé, em principio estarem mais conectados com a cultura de matriz africana, nem sempre se encontra uma prática de consciência corporal associada à ancestralidade africana e às vezes, há uma dificuldade de conexão entre as práticas religiosas e as dimensões corporais da cosmovisão africana. Diante deste contexto, neste estudo procuro responder a seguinte pergunta: Quais os conceitos que as pessoas de santo produzem a respeito da consciência corporal e da ancestralidade africana e a relação entre os mesmos? Outra pergunta é: até que ponto as pessoas de santo produzem conceitos que escapam dos valores eurocêntricos racionalistas? O método utilizado foi o sociopoético, onde o grupo alvo da pesquisa se transforma em co-pesquisadores/as do tema, participando com o pesquisador oficial de todo o processo da investigação, objetivando produzir confetos (conceitos perpassados de afetos, sentimentos e emoções que apresentam sentidos desterritorializados). Nesta pesquisa, o grupo foi formado por dez pessoas entre iaôs, (iniciados) abiãs (pré-iniciados) e ogans (auxiliares da Mãe de Santo). Um dos princípios da sociopoética é o corpo enquanto fonte de conhecimento, por isso recorre-se a vivências e técnicas artísticas, visando aguçar os cinco sentidos e a imaginação. Nesta pesquisa realizei três vivências com o grupo. A primeira foi a vivência lunar, efetuada à noite, na Abreulândia, numa região agreste, com mar, dunas, lagoas, mangues e matas. Foi um ritual. Fizemos caminhadas, acessamos bases ancestrais (cócoras, movimentos dos animais, rastejamentos, descidas invertidas em dunas, reverências aos elementos da natureza, etc.). A segunda vivência foi a dança africana onde, após o momento de relaxamento, o grupo realizou movimentos individuais e coletivos de auto-percepção e danças de várias partes da África e sua diáspora. A terceira vivência foi com argila. Com os olhos vendados, os co-pesquisadores produziram esculturas. A partir dessas vivências, eles construíram confetos relativos ao tema gerador, tais como: ancestralidade raiz (saberes da tradição oral), homem terra (aquele que senta seu ânus no chão ao contrário do homem moderno que senta na cadeira), rasgar a natureza (destruição da natureza), exu impulso (energia que joga para frente e faz as coisas se movimentarem), corpo sinuosidade (movimento estático, porém circular), água-fogo (sensação de fogo dentro da água gelada). Concluo que esta pesquisa produziu conceitos surpreendentes, desterritorializados dos valores eurocêntricos e dos chavões, gerando na minha pessoa um sentimento de felicidade e prazer, por ter me apropriado, junto com o grupo, das energias vivas da nossa ancestralidade.

Legalised desegregation through the implementation of the South African Schools law (Law no. 84 of 1996) sparked the hope of an opportunity to promote integration between learners and more than that, that the former would also extend to the larger community. The media has however indicated that racial-integration in schools is not necessarily experienced as positive by all the role players and that the process does not present itself as being problem-free. The goal of this study was to investigate the experiences of racial minority groups within majority school contexts; the challenges that are posed to them within the contexts; the factors that may play a role in their adjustment and functioning within the context; the negotiation of racial-ethnicity and social identity that accompanies it, and the possible relationship that exists between the former and their emotional intelligence (EI). These goals were realised through the launch of a theoretical, as well as an empirical investigation of aforementioned aspects related to the life worlds of racial minority groups in a majority school context. The empirical investigation was conducted from an INTERPRETIVISTIC-positivistic paradigm. Two schools where white and black learners are respectively in the minority were involved in the study. All the learners (grade 9-12) that were regarded as part of the racial minority group in the involved schools, were asked to complete an EI-questionnaire, the EQ-i:YV, after which six participants (three males and three females) from each school were selected on the basis of their scores achieved on the previously mentioned questionnaire. Afterwards qualitative techniques (focus groups, semi-structured interviews, observations and reflection) were implemented to investigate the (racial and social) identity negotiation, adjustment and functioning of the participants in their respective school contexts. The former was also related to their EI. Triangulation and crystallisation were implemented to verify the findings. Racism was identified as the biggest stumbling block to successful integration in the white school context, whereas language appeared to be the biggest stumbling block of the white participants’ adjustment and functioning within their black school context. Social categorisation emerged as a reality in both school contexts and white learners appeared to be evaluated as the higher-status group in both schools. From the results it appears that no relationship worth mentioning exists between the white participants’ EI and their identity negotiation within a black school context, whilst it appears as if a small relationship exists between the black participants’ EI and their identity-negotiation within a white school context. It appears however that a strong relationship exists between participants’ EI and their adjustment and functioning within their majority school context. The following additional factors (that are not applicable to EI) that can play a possible role in the adjustment and functioning of racial minority groups in majority school contexts have also been identified: home circumstances, faith, recognition of sport and/or cultural achievement and the support of one or more parents. AFRIKAANS : Daar is met die wettiging van desegregasie deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Skolewet (Wet no. 84 van 1996) gehoop dat die geleentheid geskep sou word om integrasie tussen leerders te bevorder en dat voorgenoemde na die breër gemeenskap sou uitkring. Uit die media blyk dit egter dat rasse-integrasie in skole allermins positief deur al die rolspelers beleef word en dat die proses nie sonder probleme verloop nie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om ondersoek in te stel na rasseminderheidsgroepe se belewenis van meerderheidskoolkontekste; die uitdagings wat binne hierdie kontekste aan hulle gestel word; die faktore wat moontlik ‘n rol in hulle aanpassing en funksionering in hierdie kontekste speel; die onderhandeling van ras-etniese en sosiale identiteit wat daarmee gepaard gaan, en die moontlike verband wat tussen voorgenoemde en hul emosionele intelligensie (EI) bestaan. Hierdie doelstellings is gerealiseer deur ‘n teoretiese, sowel as ‘n empiriese ondersoek na voorgenoemde aspekte van die leefwêrelde van rasseminderheidsgroepe in meerderheidskoolkontekste te loods. Die empiriese ondersoek is vanuit ‘n INTERPRETIVISTIES-positivistiese paradigma onderneem. Twee skole waar wit en swart leerders onderskeidelik in die minderheid is, is by die studie betrek. Al die leerders (graad 9-12) wat as deel van die rasseminderheidsgroep in die betrokke skole beskou kon word, is gevra om ‘n EI-vraelys, die EQ-i:YV, te voltooi, waarna ses deelnemers (drie seuns en drie dogters) op grond van die tellings wat hulle op voorgenoemde vraelys behaal het, geselekteer is. Kwalitatiewe tegnieke (fokusgroepe, semi-gestruktureerde onderhoudvoering, observasie en refleksie) is daarna geïmplementeer om die (ras-etniese en sosiale) identiteitsonderhandeling, aanpassing en funksionering van die deelnemers in hul onderskeie skoolkontekste te ondersoek. Voorgenoemde is ook met hul EI in verband gebring. Triangulasie en kristallisasie is geïmplementeer om bevindinge te verifieer. Rassisme is as die grootste struikelblok tot suksesvolle integrasie in die wit skoolkonteks geïdentifiseer, terwyl taalprobleme die grootste struikelblok in die wit deelnemers se aanpassing en funksionering in hul swart skoolkonteks blyk te wees. Sosiale kategorisering blyk in albei skoolkontekste ’n realiteit te wees en wit leerders blyk in albei skole as die hoëstatusgroep geëvalueer te word. Uit die resultate blyk dit dat daar geen noemenswaardige verband tussen die wit deelnemers se EI en hulle identiteitsonderhandeling binne ’n swart skoolkonteks bestaan nie, terwyl dit blyk of daar ’n geringe verband tussen die swart deelnemers se EI en hulle identiteitsonderhandeling binne ’n wit skoolkonteks bestaan. Daar blyk egter ’n sterk verband tussen deelnemers se EI en hulle aanpassing en funksionering binne hul meerderheidskoolkontekste te bestaan. Die volgende addisionele faktore (wat nie op EI betrekking het nie) wat moontlik ’n rol in die aanpassing en funksionering van rasseminderheidsgroepe in meerderheidskoolkontekste kan speel, is ook geïdentifiseer: huislike omstandighede, geloof, prestasie op sport en/of kulturele gebied en die ondersteuning van een of meer ouers.
