5. LGBT FAMILIES IN POVERTY.

Abstract

Over the past decade there has been a growing interest in LGBT family poverty. In general, research finds that LGBT families experience poverty at higher rates than their heterosexual counterparts. The problem is all of what we know thus far about LGBT families in poverty is through statistical analyses. There has yet to be any qualitative analyses on the experiences of LGBT families living in poverty. However, there are several bodies of literature that can offer insights on the subject, including quantitative studies on LGBT family poverty, studies on LGBT families, and studies on family poverty. Yet, all three areas are limited. Quantitative studies on LGBT poverty reduce it to numbers on its prevalence and correlation, studies on LGBT families do not address issues of poverty, and poverty studies on families do not address LGBT families. Using a number of theoretical concepts to frame the analysis - including, intersectionality, heteronormativity, neoliberalism, exploitation and precarity - this paper will review these literatures as a means to develop research questions and analyses to assist scholars in developing future qualitative literature on LGBT families in poverty.

Abstract

What are the experiences of black professors at predominately white universities (PWUs) in the United States? Historically, black Americans were denied access to formal education, which prevented them from working in professional fields. The Civil Rights Movement made significant changes in blacks’ access to education and the job market. In consideration of these changes, what can the experiences of black professors at PWUs tell us about present day racism? Using a snowball sample, this study explores the experiences of eight full-time tenured and tenured track black professors at one PWU in the southwestern U.S. Semi-structured interviews were taken during the University’s fall 2002 semester. Three main themes emerged out of the interviews: the presence of black professors in a PWU, the expectations toward black professors in a PWU, and the evaluation of black professors in a PWU. Results support the existence of institutionalized racism amidst changes made by the Civil Rights Movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8. Prisoner Reentry Research From 2000 to 2010: Results of a Narrative Review.

Author

Wright, Benjamin J., Zhang, Sheldon X., Farabee, David, and Braatz, Rick

Subjects
REHABILITATION of criminals, RECIDIVISM, PUBLICATION bias, PERT (Network analysis)
Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of 35 evaluations on community-based prisoner reentry programs that have been published in the past decade, between 2000 and 2010, evaluating 29 different programs. We were surprised by the small number of studies available in the literature considering the magnitude of the problem and its implications for correctional budgets, community safety, and prisoner rehabilitation. The most commonly found reentry program features were life skills and substance abuse treatment. Programs with aftercare and housing assistance were most likely to produce favorable outcomes. Most studies located in this narrative analysis used quasi-experimental designs; few employed random assignment. The vast majority of studies found in peer-reviewed journals reported favorable outcomes. Quasi-experimental studies were also far more likely to find positive outcomes than studies using random assignment. We conclude by offering some suggestions for future research.
