Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents data from a representative survey of 1,765 full time American college students from 4-year colleges in the United States about their experiences with romance at college. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: What percentage of college students are married? What percentage are in a serious relationship? What percentage are in a casual or exploratory relationship? What percentage are not seeking romance at the current time? What percentage are not in a romantic relationship at the moment? The report also presents data on how easy or difficult students feel it is to find a romantic partner on campus, and whether or not their college experience met their expectations in this sphere of life.Students also comment on how aggressive or not they find their peers in their search for romantic partners and whether they would like them to be more or less assertive in this quest. Data is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of college, tuition level of college, and many other variables. Just a few of this 96-page report's many findings are that: ?Close to 40% of those from rural areas were either married or in a serious relationship versus only a little more than 28% of those who grew up in cities with more than 350,000 people.?Approximately 18.65% of students found it easy or very easy to find a romantic partner on campus.?More than 20% of straight students but only about 10.6% of gay students found it easy or very easy to find a romantic partner on campus.?First year students and sophomores were more likely than juniors or seniors to believe that a romantic relationship would hurt their academic performance.

This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Profoundly eye-opening.… Hirsch and Khan present a novel model for explaining and responding to campus sexual assault.” —Claire M. Renzetti, Science Research has shown that by the time they graduate, as many as one in three women and almost one in six men will have been sexually assaulted. But why is sexual assault such a common feature of college life, and what can be done to prevent it? Drawing on the Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation (SHIFT) at Columbia University, the most comprehensive study to date of sexual assault on a campus, Jennifer S. Hirsch and Shamus Khan present an entirely new framework that emphasizes sexual assault’s social roots, based on the powerful concepts of “sexual projects,” “sexual citizenship,” and “sexual geographies.” Empathic, insightful, and far-ranging, Sexual Citizens transforms our understanding of sexual assault and offers a roadmap for how to address it.

Download or read book Try to Love the Questions written by Lara Schwartz and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Among the most common challenges from faculty in higher education today is how to navigate our politically charged culture. Most books on campus discussion address rights (e.g., free speech) or the failures of one side to engage with opposing arguments and in reasonable debate (e.g., due to political silos and social bubbles or extreme polarization), but there is no real guidance that teaches students - and instructors - how to actually engage in productive, civil, dialogue and inquiry. Try to Love the Questions is a guide to civil discourse that offers a framework for understanding and practicing dialogue across difference in and out of the classroom. It explores the challenges facing college students as they prepare to listen, speak, and learn in a college community. It maps a path through the intersection of free speech and inclusion, viewing free inquiry and expression as engines of social progress and scholarship, while demonstrating how inclusive, respectful communication is a skill - not a limitation on freedom. Schwartz articulates a vision for civil discourse in the classroom, on campus, and beyond, that centers on productive conversations and a mindset of inquiry that embraces uncertainty and "explores the beauty of questions, which form the core of the college experience." Schwartz develops 5 key ideas to serve this purpose, which are (1) learning to love questions while seeking answers with integrity; (2) understanding the rules and norms that apply to conversations; (3) listening and reading with a mindset of generosity and grace; (4) communicating to be understood; and (5) engaging in self-reflection. This book is structured as a handbook for helping students, teachers, and scholars to understand that their role in college is to actively engage both appealing and not-so-appealing ideas , to learn how to "love the questions" raised by other students and faculty, and to participate in an exchange that is respectful and productive. Each chapter includes discussion questions and writing exercises"--

Download or read book School University Community Collaboration for Civic Education and Engagement in the Democratic Project written by R. Martin Reardon and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools (2011) lamented the “lack of high-quality civic education in America’s schools [that] leaves millions of citizens without the wherewithal to make sense of our system of government” (p. 4). Preus et al. (2016) cited literature to support their observation of “a decline in high-quality civic education and a low rate of civic engagement of young people” (p. 67). Shapiro and Brown (2018) asserted that “civic knowledge and public engagement is at an all-time low” (p. 1). Writing as a college senior, Flaherty (2020) urged educators to “bravely interpret ... national, local, and even school-level incidents as chances for enhanced civic education and to discuss them with students in both formal and casual settings” (p. 6). In this eighth volume in the Current Perspectives on School/University/Community Research series, we feature the work of brave educators who are engaged in schooluniversity-community collaborative educational endeavors. Authors focus on a wide range of projects oriented to civic education writ large—some that have been completed and some that are still in progress—but all authors evince the passion for civic education that underpins engagement in the democratic project.

Download or read book Well Being and Success For University Students written by Jana Koci and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-Being and Success for University Students: Applying PERMA+4 is grounded in the science of well-being and positive psychology and teaches students how to strengthen their health and well-being, as well as to make their study journey more enjoyable and successful. Higher education has changed dramatically during the last few years, and given the massive growth of mental health challenges among students, universities and faculty have recognized the need to help students to strive, not only survive. Universities have a great potential and responsibility to promote the well-being of their students. This book provides students with information, motivation, and skills to build their own unique well-being and helps colleges to produce more well-being in the university culture. Students and faculty will be introduced to PERMA+4, an evidence-based framework for enhancing well-being and positive functioning, including academic performance. This book emphasizes practical applications of findings from the best available research to have students learn several steps they can take to strengthen their well-being and academic performance. Individual chapters talk about popular topics of positive psychology such as positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement, physical health, mindset, environment, and economic security. Each chapter summarizes the knowledge on specific topics, invites students to assess their well-being in the particular life domain, and encourages them to explore and try activities and evidence-based interventions to learn how to care for their own mental and overall health. This book not only serves as a guide for students but also as a useful tool for professors seeking to enhance their courses and programs with well-being promotion and student wellness centers across the world.

Download or read book Individual and Society written by Lizabeth A. Crawford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other texts for undergraduate sociological social psychology courses, Individual and Society covers each of the three research traditions in sociological social psychology—symbolic interactionism, social structure and personality, and group processes and structures. With this approach, the authors make clear the link between sociological social psychology, theory, and methodology. Students will gain a better understanding of how and why social psychologists trained in sociology ask particular kinds of questions; the types of research they are involved in; and how their findings have been, or can be, applied to contemporary societal patterns and problems. This new, third edition makes the emphasis on social inequality within sociological social psychology, a key theme in earlier versions of the book, more salient throughout the text by including new or expanded discussions of intersectionality, positionality, the experiences of gender and sexual minorities, racial microaggression, contemporary social movements, and the complexities of allyship. Other additions to the text address the ubiquity of the Internet and social media, where the authors consider how these phenomena have shaped the experiences of Generation Z, the first “digital natives,” and altered individuals’ self-concepts and social relationships. Engaging exercises and group activities are also embedded within each chapter to enhance students’ readiness to reflect and think critically about the social world around them and to improve their understanding of the different dimensions of sociological social psychology and how they relate to everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racist and xenophobic hate against Asian Americans in the midst of the COVID pandemic has been a significant threat to Asian Americans’ health – stemming from a deeply rooted Yellow Peril ideology, which racializes Asians as a threat to United States and Western culture including re-imagining Asians as a diseased public health threat. Studies have documented that Asian Americans who have experienced anti-Asian racism during the pandemic report that they are more concerned about the racism than the pandemic itself, and nearly one in five Asian Americans who experienced racism display racial trauma – the psychological and emotional harm caused by racism.

Download or read book Campus Crime written by Bonnie S. Fisher and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2022-09-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Campus Crime shares with readers the advancements that have been made in understanding campus crime. Across the three sections of the book, chapters review changes while also addressing current – and even future – crime and security issues confronting institutions of higher education. Some of these chapters address long-standing topics such as the sexual victimization of college women and the role of campus police departments in securing IHEs. Other chapters address new issues in campus crime such as drugging victimization, concealed carrying of firearms on campus, and “technology-based” security issues such as the challenges posed by cybercriminals, as well as activities like cyberstalking and identity theft that involve campus community members both as victims and offenders. Although there are new topics and contributors to this edition, the previously covered chapters have been updated as well. The authors have brought together contributors who could provide both a current picture and critical analysis of issues concerning the legal, social, security, and policy contexts of campus crime. The chapters review topics at hand, offer substantive, critical analyses, thought-provoking discussion, and raise relevant policy issues, questions, and answers. This fourth edition combines seasoned campus crime experts with those relatively new to the study of campus crime who represent the next generation of scholars and practitioners in the field and bring with them the passion that comes with beginning to address what they see as the issues, explanations, solutions for, and responses to campus crime.
