O invisível midiático-social : interfaces folkcomunicativas de personagens populares bauruenses excluídos da mídia hegemônica /Aquino, Henrique Perazzi de. January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Cristina Gobbi / Banca: Juarez Tadeu de Paula Xavier / Banca: Marli dos Santos / Resumo: A população marginalizada produz comunicação interativa em um próprio meio de atuação. Esse fato ocorre com técnicas e procedimentos singulares e facilitadores no sentido do exercício dessa ação. A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar os reflexos nas motivações dos procedimentos comunicativos de grupos específicos, considerando resultados relevantes a partir de observações e análises de resultados midiáticos, à luz de possibilidades externas a padrões previamente estabelecidos. O cenário é o da cidade de Bauru, interior de São Paulo, onde foi realizada pesquisa de campo com recorte em três personagens produtores de ações comunicacionais à margem da mídia massiva. A intenção foi a de compreender formas de transformação em notícia midiática, embora, em alguns casos, sem ser esta a intenção inicial. Agregam-se referenciais teóricos no campo da Comunicação, em especial da Folkcomunicação, no sentido de reiterar as possibilidades e estratégias de conquistas de espaços e afirmação de identidades. À guisa de conclusão, coloca-se em pauta questões relacionadas a preconceitos e estereótipos afirmados e reafirmados em práticas midiáticas. / Abstract: It is assumed that the marginalized population produces interactive communication in its own way. It is verified that this fact occurs with singular techniques, procedures and facilitators in the sense of the exercise of this action. The present research aims to investigate the reflexes in the motivations of the procedures of specific groups, considering relevant results from observations and analysis of mediatic results, in light of possibilities outside the previously established standards. The scenario is the city of Bauru, in the interior of São Paulo, where a field research was carried out with a cut in three characters that produce communication actions on the margins of the mass media. The intention was to understand forms of transformation in news media, although in some cases, this is not the initial intention. Theoretical references are added in the field of Communication, especially Folkcommunication, in order to reiterate the possibilities and strategies of space conquests and affirmation of identities. As a conclusion, issues related to prejudices and stereotypes affirmed and reaffirmed in media practices are put forward. / Mestre

The Role of Social Integration in the Persistence of African American Men in CollegeGarrett-Spencer, Jacqueline 05 1900 (has links)
This qualitative study addressed the experiences of African American males attending a predominantly White university as undergirded by the social integration aspects of Tinto's model of academic and social integration. The methodology was case study. Sixteen semi-structured interviews were held with currently enrolled seniors to capture the lived experiences of their reasons for attending college as well as major influences that contributed to their persistence decisions. The results revealed emerging themes of positive and negative family influence, religious beliefs, and a sense of self-efficacy as instrumental factors for the students' persistence. The level of social integration tended to differ by the age classification (traditional college-going versus non-traditional college student) and by the level of parental education. The components of the social integration model, as developed by Tinto contributed little to the sample's persistence decisions when compared to the themes presented during the interviews. Three observations emerged from the data: (1) The experiences of the non-traditional aged participants were different from the traditional aged college student experiences; (2) Although the participants experienced varying levels of social integration, for most of the 16 students, their persistence decisions were influenced more by their positive and negative relationships with family, religious beliefs, and sense of self-efficacy than by their interactions with peers and faculty and involvement in extracurricular activities; (3) the responses of the participants enriched and broadened the scope of Tinto's model as well as the current literature pertaining to persistence.

“Home Away from Home”: Affirmative Care Practices Among Leading LGBTQ+ Organizations Serving YouthBochicchio, Lauren January 2020 (has links)
LGBTQ+ youth suffer from a greater burden of adverse mental health outcomes, including higher rates of depression, substance use, and suicidal behavior, compared to the general population (Liu & Mustanski, 2012; Day et al., 2017; Scannapieco, Painter, & Blau, 2018). Community-based services, such as LGBTQ+ specific organizations, are integral to supporting the well-being of LGBTQ+ youth and are often viewed as the frontline for service provision and support for community members, providing client-centered and affirming services (Allen et al., 2012). However, access to these organizations is contingent on one’s proximity to and comfort in entering LGBTQ+ spaces, leaving the majority of care provision to general practitioners. Unlike LGBTQ+ organizations, general practitioners frequently do not meet the same standard of cultural awareness and competency, creating undue burden on LGBTQ+ clients navigating the healthcare system (Shelton & Delgado-Romero, 2013). While training exists on affirmative language and the application of minority stress theory, truly inclusive cultural competency requires more than awareness of terminology and extends to both organizational policy and practitioner behavior (Boroughs et al., 2015; O’Grady, 2017). Thus, this study sought to identify aspects of affirmative care that extend beyond current practice guidelines through a qualitative evaluation of service provision (e.g. types of services offered, staff background, approach to service delivery, participant experiences) and the service environment (e.g. agency policies, geographic location, interior décor) at four LGBTQ+ youth-focused agencies located in two large urban centers in the Northeast. In-depth qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with both service providers (staff) and service recipients (youth) at each organization. A template analysis approach was used to analyze data whereby an existing (a priori) theory was used to guide and organize qualitative data (Brooks et al., 2014). The affirmative practice guidelines developed by Hadland, Yehia, and Makadon (2016) were used as an overarching template to organize data. A total of (n=30) youth and (n=12) staff participated in focus groups and interviews across four agencies. Results from the study found that all aspects of Hadland et al. (2016)’s affirmative practice guidelines were present in both agency and staff practices, however, there were differences in how agencies described the systems-level principles and practitioner behaviors in their practices. At the organizational level, staff and youth emphasized the importance of organizations offering “queer centric” programming that responded to youths’ intersectional identities and providing youth with referrals to meet their diverse needs (e.g., referrals to primary care, mental health services). At the practitioner level, youth and staff emphasized the importance of using trans+ inclusive language, collaborating with youth around decision making, using a non-judgmental stance, providing space for youth to explore their identities, and having “just for fun” activities. In addition to the findings from the template analysis, several other concepts were found to be integral to affirmative care including the development of community guidelines. From the qualitative findings, affirmative care practice recommendations were identified, and a case example is provided to describe how one agency might consider aspects of implementation theory to evaluate readiness for and implement such guidelines in their practice. Findings from this study will increase knowledge of best practices in affirmative care for LGBTQ+ youth. These findings may be disseminated across practice settings to improve cultural competency among general practitioners.

How First-Generation Students Spend Their Time: Clues to Academic and Social IntegrationRudd, Heather Renee 24 May 2006 (has links)
This study explored the activities in which first-generation students engage that might promote academic and social integration. Additionally, differences in activities by race were examined. Participants included fifteen Caucasian and fifteen Multicultural first-generation, first-year students. Respondents maintained logs of their daily academic and social activities for a two-week period during their first semester on campus. The logs yielded both quantitative and qualitative data.
The results revealed several interesting findings. First, first-generation students engaged in a number of academic behaviors that often contribute to academic integration and success. Although they were not always confident in their abilities as a student, first-generation participants attended most of their classes, completed assignments, participated in class discussions, and visited their professors to seek assistance. Second, although informants seemed to devote more time to academic pursuits, they did take time to enjoy conversations and activities with peers and attend meetings and events on campus. Third, Caucasian and Multicultural first-generation students were nearly equally involved in academic pursuits. However, Caucasian students focused on developing personal relationships with those who support their success, while Multicultural students focused more on results and achievement. Fourth, both Caucasian and Multicultural students found ways to be involved socially on campus, but Caucasian students were more comfortable describing their time spent out of the classroom.
In general, the students in this study were not as much at risk as results from prior research on first generation students has suggested they might be. In their first semester, they found ways to participate successfully in the academic and social environments of college. / Master of Arts
