Book excerpt: On December 11, 1984, the Manpower R & D Program of the Office of Naval Research sponsored a workshop on increasing the numbers of Hispanics in the naval services. The objective of the meeting was to bring together researchers and personnel managers and policy makers who were concerned about the topic. Briefings by the researchers dealt with the following subjects vis-a-vis Hispanic subpopulations: demographics, psychocultural patterns, training and education, recruitment strategies for high-skill jobs, and history of military service. Participants drew implications for naval manpower policy from the presentations; questions for further research were also framed. It was concluded that: (a) there are distinctive and significantly different subpopulations of Hispanic Americans; (b) command of English is of great importance in the modern military; (c) Hispanics have been exemplary in the U.S. military; and (d) the Hispanic sector of the population is growing rapidly and is therefore an attractive source of manpower. Questions posed were: (a) to what extent should the Navy give special training in English and in the navy culture in order to enhance the adjustment of Hispanic recruits? (b) what are the implications of differences in values (between groups of Hispanics and between them and mainstream Americans) for recruitment, training, and career management?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative work critically studies the contemporary problems of one segment of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. The lack of a diverse U.S.-based pool of talent entering the field of engineering education has been termed a crisis by academic and political leaders. Engineering remains one of the most sex segregated academic arenas; the intersection of gendered and racialized exclusion results in very few Latina engineers. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship in gender and Latino/a studies, the book provides an analytically incisive view of the experiences of Latina engineers. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation through a Gender in Science and Engineering grant, the authors bridge interdisciplinary perspectives to illuminate the nuanced and multiple exclusionary forces that shape the culture of engineering. A large, multi-institution, longitudinal dataset permits disaggregation by race and gender. The authors rely on primary and secondary sources and incorporate an integrated mixed-methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative data. Together, this analysis of the voices of Latina engineering majors breaks new ground in the literature on STEM education and provides an exemplar for future research on subpopulations in these fields. This book is aimed at researchers who study underrepresented groups in engineering and are interested in broadening participation and ameliorating problems of exclusion. It will be attractive to scholars in the fields of multicultural and higher education, sociology, cultural anthropology, cultural studies, and feminist technology studies, and all researchers interested in the intersections of STEM, race, and gender. This resource will be useful for policy-makers and educational leaders looking to revitalize and re-envision the culture within engineering.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
