Abstract:

This qualitative, interpretive research sought to elicit explanations for certain contradictions and choices in the lives of four married women who were autonomous and assertive in their careers, yet non-assertive and compliant in their married lives. Such contradictions appeared both in their projected stories and semi-structured interviews. It had been expected that these projected stories would reveal autonomy and assertiveness, in line with the white, middle-class, feminist values of the subjects, but they had not. Explanations for these apparent contradictions were attributed to the effec

Abstract:

The role of fatherhood in communities that experience marginalization is not well understood in academic literature. Further, there is little known about the implementation and evaluation of physical activity programs that are accessible and suitable for fathers who experience income instability, racial discrimination, precarious housing, gender discrimination, and domestic and/or sexualized violence. In this thesis, which is presented in the publishable paper format and is comprised of two papers, I sought to address these gaps. Informed by a constructionist epistemology and an intersectiona

Abstract:

There is a disproportionate number of African American fathers in the State of Tennessee that experience parenting and child support disparities when compared to single parents of other ethnicities. The purpose of this general qualitative study was to examine the experiences of African American noncustodial fathers and to examine the impact of the codification of Tennessee family laws. The theoretical frameworks for this study were critical race theory, and social construction and policy design. The key research questions examined the lived experiences of African American noncustodial fathers

Abstract:

The rise in American pediatric death led to a shift in pediatric end-of-life care from focusing care only on the dying pediatric patient to include focus on the family.

Fathers’ experiences at their child’s end of life, as an individual phenomenon, is overlooked and ignored. Hence, significant knowledge gaps exist related to the repeated exclusion of fathers’ individual experiences. This study aimed to begin to fill this gap.

Abstract:

Historically, there has been a gendered imbalance within neonatal research, with a focus on mothers' experiences of having a preterm infant. However, this focus is slowly shifting and there is now an emerging body of international evidence that has focused on fathers' experiences in neonatal intensive care (NIC). Nevertheless, in the UK, there is still a paucity of father focused research that lends insight into fathers' experiences in NIC. This gap in knowledge has meant that assumptions have been made about the needs of fathers in NIC and informed the research question: what does it mean to

The foster care of ‘looked after’ children in Britain has undergone considerable organisational change over the last few decades.

However, as research and practice have tended to focus on how women look after fostered children, these new ways of looking at gender roles and family relations have not been appl

As traditional family roles change and circumstances at home become increasingly varied in contemporary society, the experiences of children also undergo change.

Through the use of qualitative research design, this research focuses on how the experiences of children within the home may be impacted when fathers are the primary caregiver.

Abstract:

Evidence of Lives is a novel that deals with themes of childhood abuse, mental illness, and alienated families. The book opens with the main character, forty-two-year-old Mark Barr, who has returned home from New York to West Virginia after eleven years for his older brother Steve's funeral. Steve, having died of a heart attack at forty-six, was mentally ill most of his adult life, though Mark has always questioned what was "mentally ill" and what was the result of their father's verbal and physical abuse during their childhood.
