International Relations or International Sanitations? Exploring Student Perceptions of Intro to IR Course ContentSundback, Nick 01 January 2014 (has links)
This thesis draws on student testimony, curriculum analysis, and statistical tests to explore 1) the degree to which gender, financial aid status, and race/ethnicity correlate with student perceptions of Intro to IR course content and 2) the degree to which students conceptualize IR as interrelated with social identities, as opposed to an abstracted state-centric discipline.

[en] WORK-LIFE BALANCE: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN PERCEPTION BETWEEN WORKERS FROM DIFFERENT SOCIOECONOMIC STRATA? / [pt] EQUILÍBRIO ENTRE VIDA PESSOAL E VIDA PROFISSIONAL: EXISTE DIFERENÇA DE PERCEPÇÃO ENTRE TRABALHADORES DE DIFERENTES ESTRATOS SOCIOECONÔMICOS?MARCOS VINICIUS SOARES SERRA FREIRE 27 July 2017 (has links)
[pt] Já há algum tempo as organizações estão atentas à questão de work-life balance, tendo criado diversos programas e benefícios para promover um melhor equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e vida profissional dos funcionários, visando uma melhoria da produtividade. O tema também é de interesse do mundo acadêmico
que pesquisa os impactos nocivos do desequilíbrio para as organizações e para o bem-estar dos funcionários, bem como suas causas e consequências. Todavia, essas pesquisas são, em sua maioria, voltadas para a elite trabalhadora, os whitecollar, dando pouca atenção aos segmentos profissionais menos qualificados. Esta constatação motivou o presente estudo que teve por objetivo compreender como o tema é percebido por indivíduos de diferentes origens socioeconômicas. Ancorado nos postulados de Bourdieu (2007), de que a percepção dos indivíduos é afetada pela classe ou fração de classe social, partiu-se da pressuposição de que a questão do equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e vida profissional não seria percebida,
da mesma forma, por indivíduos de diferentes segmentos profissionais. Através de uma pesquisa qualitativa, trabalhadores de diferentes estratos socioeconômicos foram entrevistados visando um entendimento da percepção de cada um em relação ao equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e vida profissional. Os resultados dessa pesquisa indicaram que o tema é mais bem compreendido por trabalhadores de
nível socioeconômico superior, sugerindo que work-life balance é um conceito definido pela elite, os pesquisadores da Academia, membros da elite cultural da sociedade (Bourdieu, 2007), para as elites. / [en] Organisations have been concerned for some time with work-life balance. Several programmes and benefits have been created to promote a better employees work-life balance, aiming to improve the productivity. It is also in the interest of academics to study the impact of the imbalance on organisations and on employees well-being, as wells as its causes and consequences. However, the majority of these studies are focused on upper class workers, who are also known as white-collars, while little attention is paid to the less qualified professionals. This fact has motivated this study, which has the objective to comprehend how work-life balance is perceived by individuals from different socioeconomic strata.
Anchored in Bourdieu s (2007) assumptions that individual perceptions are impacted by social class or fraction of class, it is presumed that the work-life balance is perceived differently by individuals from different professional segments. Through qualitative research, workers from different socioeconomic
strata were interviewed aiming to understand the perception of each one in relation to work-life balance. The results indicated that work-life balance is better comprehended by workers with higher socioeconomic status, suggesting that this concept was defined by the elite, the academic researchers, members of the intelectual elite of the society (Bourdieu, 2007), for the elite.

The Kent Trilogy RevisitedTedesco, Marie 01 January 2014 (has links)
In 1948 and 1949, three doctoral students in sociology and anthropology conducted ethnographic fieldwork in York, SC (called Kent), a mill town. Through interviews, white town elites, black mill workers, and white mill workers revealed their lives to the scholars. What resulted were three remarkable studies on southern town life in the immediate post World War II period. Although segregation had begun to weaken in the face of postwar socioecomic change, it still held whites and blacks in its grip. The “thick description” of community life provided by the ethnographic interviews, as well as the authors’ analysis of life in York, makes these three books invaluable still to scholars of the history and sociology of the South.

"Her Power is Her Own": Classed Confines, Gendered Expectations, and Questions of Social Movement in The House on Mango StreetPetkovich, Anna L 01 January 2014 (has links)
This dual thesis seeks to explore the implications of socioeconomic class position for the formation of gender and sexual identities. Utilizing social theories of class and gender, I suggest that because a disadvantageous class location frames social relations in terms of privilege and movement, gender and sexual identities are thus similarly conceptualized; effectively, gender performance and sexual behaviors become attached to notions of value and movement. I turn to Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street to think through the nuances of such an argument, highlighting the experiences of foiled characters Sally and Esperanza to realize how classed confines and gendered expectations literally and figuratively shape their understandings of social relations and movement.
