Gillan, Matthew Alexander. "Multiple identities in Yaeyaman folk music." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2004. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.573492.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the importance of local identity in the performance and transmission of traditional music in the Yaeyama archipelago, Okinawa prefecture, Japan. Several local repertories are considered, and the thesis examines their connection to different cultural and political units: individual villages, individual islands, Yaeyama as a region, Yaeyama as a part of Okinawa prefecture, Japan and the world. Chapter one introduces the issue of identity and regionalism in music and the concept of 'multiple identities' with specific reference to the case of Yaeyama. The use of the concept of 'tradition' is also examined, with reference to both Western and local cultural theories. Chapter two introduces historical and cultural aspects of the region in more detail, and gives an overview of Yaeyaman music, and a review of previous studies on this subject. Chapters three to six examine four different traditional music genres, examining historical elements of their formation, current cultural attitudes affecting their teaching and performance, and aspects of the music itself: chapter three deals with the kayo work song repertory with particular reference to local variant forms; chapter four looks at the fushiuta repertory and the move towards a pan-Yaeyaman singing style; chapter five outlines the role of village festivals in the preservation of local ritual repertories; chapter six examines one song, Tubarama, in depth, with reference to issues of preservation. Chapter seven describes the use of traditional musical elements and local identity in the context of Yaeyaman popular music styles which have blossomed since the early 1990s, and have found an audience both throughout Okinawa prefecture and mainland Japan. This musical genre is examined with reference to the commonly held image of Okinawa as a fundamental part of Japan, while also providing a link to both Asia and the rest of the world.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis 2004, les médias sociaux en ligne ont connu une croissance considérable. Ce développement rapide a eu des effets intéressants pour augmenter la connexionet l'échange d'informations entre les utilisateurs, mais certains effets négatifs sont également apparus, dont le nombre de faux comptes grandissant jour après jour.Les sockpuppets sont les multiples faux comptes créés par un même utilisateur. Ils sont à l'origine de plusieurs types de manipulations comme la création de faux comptes pour louer, défendre ou soutenir une personne ou une organisation, ou pour manipuler l'opinion publique. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons SocksCatch, un processus complet de détection et de groupage des sockpuppets composé de trois phases principales : la première phase a pour objectif la préparation du processus et le pré-traitement des données; la seconde phase a pour objectif la détection des comptes sockpuppets à l'aide d'algorithmes d'apprentissage automatique; la troisième phase a pour objectif le regroupement des comptes sockpuppets créés par un même utilisateur à l'aide d'algorithmes de détection de communautés. Ces phases sont déclinées en trois étapes : une étape "modèle" pour représenter les médias sociaux en ligne, où nous proposons un modèle général de médias sociaux dédié à la détection et au regroupement des sockpuppets ; une étape d'adaptation pour ajuster le processus à un média social spécifique, où nous instancions et évaluons le modèle SocksCatch sur un média social sélectionné ; et une étape en temps réel pour détecter et grouper les sockpuppets en ligne, où SocksCatch est déployé en ligne sur un média social sélectionné. Des expérimentations ont été réalisées sur l'étape d'adaptation en utilisant des données réelles extraites de Wikipédia anglais. Afin de trouver le meilleur algorithme d'apprentissage automatique pour la phase de détection de sockpuppet, les résultats de six algorithmes d'apprentissage automatique sont comparés. En outre, ils sont comparés à la littérature où les résultats de la comparaison montrent que notre proposition améliore la précision de la détection des sockpuppets. De plus, les résultats de cinq algorithmes de détection de communauté sont comparés pour la phase de regroupement de Sockpuppet, afin de trouver le meilleur algorithme de détection de communauté qui sera utilisé en temps réelSince 2004, online social medias have grown hugely. This fast development had interesting effects to increase the connection and information exchange between users, but some negative effects also appeared, including fake accounts number growing day after day. Sockpuppets are multiple fake accounts created by a same user. They are the source of several types of manipulation such as those created to praise, defend or support a person or an organization, or to manipulate public opinion. In this thesis, we present SocksCatch, a complete process to detect and group sockpuppets, which is composed of three main phases: the first phase objective is the process preparation and data pre-processing; the second phase objective is the detection of the sockpuppet accounts using machine learning algorithms; the third phase objective is the grouping of sockpuppet accounts created by a same user using community detection algorithms. These phases are declined in three stages: a model stage to represent online social medias, where we propose a general model of social media dedicated to the detection and grouping of sockpuppets; an adaptation stage to adjust the process to a particular social media, where we instantiate and evaluate the SocksCatch model on a selected social media; and a real-time stage to detect and group the sockpuppets online, where SocksCatch is deployed online on a selected social media. Experiments have been performed on the adaptation stage using real data crawled from English Wikipedia. In order to find the best machine learning algorithm for sockpuppet's detection phase, the results of six machine learning algorithms are compared. In addition, they are compared with the literature, and the results show that our proposition improves the accuracy of the detection of sockpuppets. Furthermore, the results of five community detection algorithms are compared for sockpuppet's grouping phase, in order to find the best community detecton algorithm that will be used in real-time stage

Charlton, Steven Paul. "Identities arising from coproducts on multiple zeta values and multiple polylogarithms." Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11834/.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis we explore identities which can be proven on multiple zeta values using the derivation operators $ D_r $ from Brown's motivic MZV framework. We then explore identities which occur on multiple polylogarithms by way of the symbol map $ \mathcal{S} $, and the multiple polylogarithm coproduct $ \Delta $. On multiple zeta values, we consider Borwein, Bradley, Broadhurst, and Lisoněk's cyclic insertion conjecture about inserting blocks of $ \{2\}^{a_i} $ between the arguments of $ \zeta(\{1,3\}^n) $. We generalise this conjecture to a much broader setting, and give a proof of a symmetrisation of this generalised cyclic insertion conjecture. This proof is by way of the block-decomposition of iterated integrals introduced here, and Brown's motivic MZV framework. This symmetrisation allows us to prove (or to make progress towards) various conjectural identities, including the original cyclic insertion conjecture, and Hoffman's $ 2\zeta(3,3,\{2\}^n) - \zeta(3,\{2\}^n,1,2) $ identity. Moreover, we can then generate unlimited new conjectural identities, and give motivic proofs of their symmetrisations. We then consider the task of relating weight 5 multiple polylogarithms. Using the symbol map, we determine all of the symmetries and functional equations between depth 2 and between depth 3 iterated integrals with 'coupled-cross ratio' arguments $ [\mathrm{cr}(a,b,c,d_1), \ldots, \mathrm{cr}(a,b,c,d_k)] $. We lift the identity for $ I_{4,1}(x,y) + I_{4,1}(\frac{1}{x}, \frac{1}{y}) $ to an identity holding exactly on the level of the symbol and prove a generalisation of this for $ I_{a,b}(x,y) $. Moreover, we further lift the subfamily $ I_{n,1} $ to a candidate numerically testable identity using slices of the coproduct. We review Dan's reduction method for reducing the iterated integral $ I_{1,1,\ldots,1} $ to a sum in $ \leq n-2 $ variables. We provide proofs for Dan's claims, and run the method in the case $ I_{1,1,1,1} $ to correct Dan's original reduction of $ I_{1,1,1,1} $ to $ I_{3,1} $ and $ I_4 $. We can then compare this with another reduction to find $ I_{3,1} $ functional equations, and their nature. We then give a reduction of $ I_{1,1,1,1,1} $ to $ I_{3,1,1} $, $ I_{3,2} $ and $ I_{5} $, and indicate how one might be able to further reduce to $ I_{3,2} $ and $ I_5 $. Lastly, we use and generalise an idea suggested by Goncharov at weight 4 and weight 5. We find $ \mathrm{Li}_n $ terms when certain $ \mathrm{Li}_2 $, $ \mathrm{Li}_3 $ and $ \mathrm{Li}_4 $ functional equations are substituted into the arguments of symmetrisations of $ I_{m,1}(x,y) $. By expanding $ I_{m,1}(\text{$\mathrm{Li}_k$ equation}, \text{$\mathrm{Li}_\ell $ equation}) $ in two different ways we obtain functional equations for $ \mathrm{Li}_5 $ and $ \mathrm{Li}_6 $. We make some suggestions for how this might work at weight 7 and weight 8 giving a potential route to $ \mathrm{Li}_7 $ and $ \mathrm{Li}_8 $ functional equations.

Lloyd, Katherine Elise. "Occupational Therapists: A Study of Managing Multiple Identities." The University of Montana, 2010. http://etd.lib.umt.edu/theses/available/etd-05132010-221502/.
Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study uncovered the identity construction of occupational therapists located in two regions of the United States. In utilizing an organizational communication studies lens, it was discovered that occupational therapists possess multiple, conflicting, and intersecting identities. The four central categories that emerged from the data were: Therapist as catalyst of functional activity, Therapist as envoy of profession, Therapist as navigator of bureaucracy, and Therapist as member of interdisciplinary team. Therapist as catalyst of functional activity proves to be the preferred identity of occupational therapists and the subsequent identities work to support or interfere with occupational therapists ability to see themselves as a catalyst of functional activity for their patients. This study further problematizes the notion that individuals have preferred identities and the effects this has on identity construction. The examination also provides useful insights for the development of Occupational Therapy as a profession.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le monde actuel en pleine mutation, la compréhension de l'identité est plus complexe que jamais. Cette thèse, basée sur une étude ethnographique de deux ans menée auprès d'un groupe de professionnels qui se produisent également en tant que drag queens, explore cette complexité à travers trois études. La première introduit la notion de identité distale, une identité délibérément maintenue à distance des autres identités et de l'idée principale que l'on se fait de soi-même. Elle offre un moyen unique d'expression et d'exploration de soi. La deuxième étude montre comment des professionnels qui sont aussi des drag queens utilisent leurs identités distales comme des « laboratoires d'identité » pour expérimenter de nouveaux aspects d'eux-mêmes. Elle théorise un processus que nous appelons « apprentissage vicariant intrapersonnel », en soulignant le rôle de la compartimentation et de la distanciation dans la facilitation de l'exploration et de l'adaptation de l'identité. Enfin, le troisième article explore la manière dont les identités distales peuvent contribuer à la résilience, même en période de stress extrême. Dans l'ensemble, la thèse met en lumière la dynamique complexe de la formation et de l'expression de l'identité moderne, offrant des indications précieuses pour naviguer dans notre moi en constante évolutionIn today’s rapidly changing world, understanding identity is more complex than ever. This dissertation, based on a two-year ethnographic study of a group of professionals who also perform as drag queens, explores this complexity through three studies. The first introduces the construct of “distal identity”, an identity deliberately kept at a distance from one’s other identities and their core self-concept. This offers a unique way for self-expression and exploration. The second study shows how professionals who are also drag queens use their distal identities as “identity laboratories” to experiment with new identity elements. It theorizes a process we call “intrapersonal vicarious learning”, highlighting the role of compartmentalization and distancing in facilitating identity exploration and adaptation. Lastly, the third paper explores how distal identities can contribute to resilience, even in times of extreme stress. Overall, the dissertation sheds light on the intricate dynamics of modern identity formation and expression, offering valuable insights into navigating our ever-evolving selves

Full textAbstract:
Multicultural theorists argue that foundational theories of identity development fail to capture the experiences of ethnic and sexual minorities. Likewise, models of ethnic and sexual identity, separately, may not capture experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning (LGBTQ) ethnic minorities. Intersectional models have been proposed that consider the interaction of identity statuses in their real-world context. However, more empirical support for such models is needed. This study represents a preliminary investigation into patterns of identification, values, attitudes, behaviors, and sense of belonging of these LGBTQ ethnic minorities. The patterns that emerged were varied and complex. Demographic questions were structured in a way that allowed participants to describe with complexity their identities, and the intersections among them. Four distinct groups were identified using Q-sort methodology. Both commonalities and important group differences emerged.

Intersectionality theory can provide a useful research tool for social psychologists studying multiple social identities and social categorization. The overarching goal of this set of studies was to test the theory of intersectionality by investigating the perception of multiple social identities and category activation using quantitative methods traditionally employed in social psychological research. Study 1's major finding was that intersecting social identities accounted for nearly twice the amount of variance in overall impression ratings than did singular identities. Specifically, Study 1 examined how different combinations of three social identities based on race, gender, and sexual orientation differentially affected evaluation of overall impression and personality ratings. Different combinations of target race, target gender, and target sexual orientation affected overall impression ratings and personality ratings of honesty, emotionality, and openness. Notably, the combination of these social identities did not differentially affect personality ratings of extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The goal of Study 2 was to investigate the possibility of simultaneous category activation, but did not yield significant results and therefore did not provide support for intersectionality theory. In Study 2, participants were primed with race, gender, or race and gender combined, and they subsequently completed a lexical decision task to measure category accessibility. There were no significant differences in mean lexical decision latencies by condition, indicating that the priming technique employed in this study was not effective. Implications and future directions for using intersectionality theory in psychological research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
For decades´ researchers as well as business managers have deliberated on the matter of what constitutes an organization´s core and identity. This paper investigates the management of multiple identities in a dependent partner organization, defined as an organization with products or services dependent on, and/or with a business derived from, a mother organization´s products or services. For managers, managing organizational identity on organizations with an increasing part of their business value dependent on partnering with another organization, this becomes a question of managing multiple identities. As an aid for managers in determining the relevant managerial response, Pratt and Foreman developed a framework classifying four different responses, presented in an article in the year 2000. However, in limmiting the scope of their research to not include an organization´s perception of the identity of the external network in which it resides, the framework is not sufficient for managers of a dependent partner organization. The current research has analyzed and further developed how the managerial response framework for multiple identities could be used in such a dependent partner organizational setting. The perception of how a mother organization is reflected in a dependent partner organization identity is investigated through interviews ina single case study at a specigic type of dependent partner organization, namely a dealer organization. The analysis of the data was deductive, based on the theoretical construct of organizational identity, and followed a theoretical thematic analysis methodology. The findings from the research reveal how different perceptions of the mother organization is reflected in every criterion of the dependent partner´s organizational identities. Also, results show how these organizations are high in synegry, as the mother organization creates a standard frame of reference for all units of the dependent partner. The results further develop the managerial framework by Pratt and Foreman for such an organizational setting by syggesting two responses from the framework as particularly suitable. For managers of a dependent partner organization the risk of the high presence of the mother organization in the own organizational identity is also coupled with decreased member identification. To manage this, it is suggested to engage in internal employee education and activities. Furthermore, an increased focus on fostering a strong leadership, capable of consciously managing the constant construction of organizational identity in the blurred lines between the partner and the mother organization, is needed. Due to the positioning of organizational identity as a constructed in the interaction between two parts, social constructionism is further suggested to be an appropriate epistemological view when studying the dependent partner organization.I årtionden har akademiker och chefer brottats med nfrågan om vad som är en organisations kärna och identitet. Denna uppsats undersöker hanteringen av multipla identiteter i en beroende partnerorganisation, här definierad som en organisation vars produkter eller tjänster är beroende av, och/eller sprunget från, en moderorganisations produkter eller tjänster. Hanteringen av en organisations identitet är en del av chefens huvudsakliga syfte och i organisationer där grundaffären alltmer beror av en partnerorganisation blir detta en fråga om att hantera multipla identiteter. Pratt och Foreman presenterade i en artikel år 2000 ett ramverk för chefer som klassificerar fyra olika responser i hanteringen av multipla identiteter. Studien är dock avgränsad till att inte innefatta organisationers uppfattning om identiteten av det externa nätverk inom vilken organisation är en del, i den egna organisatoriska identiteten. Denna avgränsning gör ramverket otillräckligt för chefers bedömning av hanteringen av multipla identiteter i beroende partnerorganisatoriska. Den nuvarande studien har analyserat och vidareutvecklat ramverket för hantering av multipla identiteter utifrån den beroende partnerorganisationens position. Hur moderorganisationen uppfattas och reflekteras i den beroende partnerorganisationens i dentitet har undersökts genom intervjuer i en enfallsstudie hos en specifik typ av beroende!partnerorganisation, nämligen en återförsäljare. Analysen av data har varit!deduktiv, baserad på teorin om vad!som utgör en organisatorisk identitet, och har följt en teoretisk tematisk analysmetod. Resultaten från studien visar hur uppfattningar om moderorganisationen reflekteras i varje kriterium av den beroende partnerorganisationens identitet och hur dessa typer av organisationer har möjlighet till höga synergieffekter, som en följd av att moderorganisationen skapar en gemensam gruns att stå på. Resultaten leder till en vidareutveckling av Pratt och Foremans ramverk för hanteringen av multipla identiteter genom att föreslå två av responserna som mer anpassade för den specifika organisationstypen. För chefer i en beroende partnerorganisation är risken med den starka närvaron av moderorganisationen i den egna identiteten att medlemsidentifieringen misnkar. För att hantera detta föreslås att bygga upp en intern utbildning samt uppmuntra interna aktiviteter. Det föreslås också att fokusera på att fostra ett starkt ledarskap som är kapabelt atill att medvetet hantera den konstanta konstruktionen av den egna organisatoriska identiteten i gråzonen mellan moderorganisationen och den beroende partnerorganisationen. Vidare är också scocialkonstruktionismen identifierad att vara en lämplig epistemologisk ståndpunkt vid studien av en beroende partnerorganisation, givet att den organisatoriska identiteten konstrueras i relation till en annan part.

Full textAbstract:
The contemporary view of identity in entrepreneurship accepts its dynamic nature and its multidimensional structure. Some scholars have illustrated how identity tensions may stimulate identity work in different settings, but they do not offer a satisfactory understanding of how multiple identities of an entrepreneur interact to promote identity work. One setting where identity work is prolific is in the initial stages of the venture when individuals have recently transitioned into entrepreneurship. However, detailed accounts of the identity struggles of the entrepreneur in this stage has not found favour in the entrepreneurship literature. More specifically, studies investigating identity conflict and coherence of entrepreneurs do not provide a satisfactory understanding of identity work derived from the complexity of the existence of multiple identities. The question therefore arises - How do entrepreneurs engage in identity work in response to identity demands caused by multiple identities? To address this research gap I study entrepreneurs that have recently started a venture in the creative industries. The founding stage is chosen to facilitate the observation of intense identity work, while the creative industries as an extreme setting facilitates our observation of multiple sub-identities of the entrepreneur. Though a two-year qualitative longitudinal study of 15 creative entrepreneurs, I provide new insight into identity work of entrepreneurs in light of multiple identities. Drawing on my analysis of the data, I present three articles. In the first, I examine the process of identity work through a staged model, and propose identity routes and tactics of entrepreneurs as they journey through identity disruption and equilibrium. Here, I recognise the impact of the entrepreneurs’ affects in this process. In the second article, I analyse how conflicts between specific identities of the entrepreneur are normalised by investigating dirty work in the context of entrepreneurship. And finally in article three I offer a more rounded discussion to types of trigger for identity work by examining the impact of self-defined critical incidents on identity work of entrepreneurs. Here I discuss the role of sensemaking in internalising the impacts from these critical incidents and find that a single incident can have multiple impacts. The examination of identity work in light of multiple identities is concluded with a discussion of the contributions of the thesis towards the current gaps in identity work literature as identified by scholars.

PrattIn spite of an undeniably vast and multidisciplinary body of research on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) spanning more than 50 years, extant scholarship provides little insight into how two organizations that have struggled to integrate rebound from failure in their relationship. This dissertation examines two organizations—AMC Hospital and Community Hospital—that achieved this outcome nearly 16 years after they legally merged. To understand this phenomenon, I conducted an inductive, longitudinal qualitative study of these two organizations and their members using interviews, archival data, and observations as my data sources and grounded theory techniques to analyze the data and build theory. Extending prior research on M&As, multiple organizational identity management, and identities as resources in organizations, I advance the notion of multiple identity resourcing by examining how the negotiation of multiple organizational identities fostered greater resource sharing and generation during post-merger integration. Additionally, I elaborate prior research on meaning construction during strategic change by examining how managers’ interpretations of the power and intimacy dynamics in the merger relationship influenced their strategizing, which affected organizational-level episodes of success and failure during the integration process. More broadly, I demonstrate how practices at both the level of the merger relationship and the level of strategy implementation enable successful performance during post-merger integration

Full textAbstract:
It is well documented that some populations experience higher rates of certain diseases. While researchers have explored factors contributing to health disparities, attention has turned to the influence of social factors. For instance, stereotype threat has recently been applied to the health care setting in order to explain growing health disparities (e.g., Aronson et al., 2013). Health care stereotype threat (HCST) may arise when patients become aware that a negative health stereotype exists about a group or groups with which they identify, thus negatively impacting their utilization of health care services. Furthermore, patients with multiple marginalized identities have unique experiences of stereotyping and discrimination within the health care system. The purpose of the current study is to address Abdou et al.’s (2016) recommendation that researchers examine health care stereotype threat among individuals with multiple marginalized identities. The present study identified patients with a chronic illness and multiple marginalized identities including: (a) identifying as Black, (b) being considered overweight by medical community, and/or (c) identifying as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT). These identities were chosen based on research indicating that physicians hold implicit bias attitudes towards and stereotypes about these groups (e.g., Blair et al., 2013; Chapman et al., 2001; Sabin et al., 2009). I utilized qualitative research methodology to contextualize patients’ experiences of stereotyping in a health setting. In person, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight patients. During the interview process, four major categories and 22 sub-level categories emerged. Grounded theory methodology (Corbin & Strauss, 2008) was used to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed a complex relationship between negative experiences with a provider (i.e., dismissive communication and perceived stereotyping) and health care utilization. Patients’ negative experiences with providers made it more difficult for patients to continue engaging in care. Systemic barriers as well as level of coping and social support influenced patients’ perception of stereotyping and discrimination. Level of support from other providers and use of coping skills also determined the extent to which patients continued to utilize available health care in the face of discrimination. Implications for future research and clinical practice are delineated.

Fairbairn, Craig. "Juggling multiple identities in elite level rugby league : a neophyte performance analyst's perspective." Thesis, University of Hull, 2017. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:15807.
Full textAbstract:
‘While performance analysts have been increasingly employed in many elite level sporting organisations, this development has arguably not been matched with a comparable level of critical scholarship addressing how performance analysts experience, understand and practice within a variety of organisational cultures’ (Huggan, Nelson & Potrac, 2015, p. 505). Specifically, the micro-political, emotional and identity experiences faced by neopphyte performance analysts as they transition into an elite rugby league coaching environment have not yet been considered. To partially address this situation, the current thesis provides a novel insight into my emotional, identity and micro-political experiences, as I endeavoured to transition into the coaching team for the first time. Data for this investigation was gathered in the form of a daily journal, based on my experiences at the Club, the University and in my home life. These journals were also discussed during monthy supervisory meetings, in order to further understand my experiences. Several interrelated themes emerged from the resulting narrative and were principally understood in relation to the work of Kelchtermans (e.g. Kelchtermans, 2009; Kelchtermans & Ballett, 2002a, 2002b), Goffman (1959, 1963, 1969), Hochschild (1979, 1983), Burke and Stets (2009) and Stryker (1980). I contend that the inherent structural vulnerability of my neophyte performance analyst position, as well as my determination to protect and advance my career meant that I had to learn to act micro-politically. I also assert that the multiple identities I possessed during this time acted cooperatively and conflictingly at different times, ultimately resulting in me not wanting to remain within my professional identity. It is hoped that through presenting the ambiguity, pathos and dynamic nature of practicing performance analysis in elite rugby league, a more grounded understanding of this topic area can be obtained.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the complex interplay between colonial modernity and Sakta (goddess-centered) devotion in the context of an elite family of zamindars (landholders) in Bengal. One consequence of colonialism in Bengal was the efflorescence of overt Sakta religiosity among Bengal's elite. Religious practice, supposedly "protected" by the colonial order, became the site where indigenous elites expressed political will and, to an extent, resisted foreign domination. I argue that the zamindars of Bansberia in the Hugli district of Bengal were creative agents, engaging and resisting the various cultural ruptures represented by colonial rule in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Employing analyses of archival material, contemporary ethnography, and architectural style, this thesis is an ethnohistory of a modern zamindari-kingdom that locates its political voice in an emblematic Sakta-Tantric temple. It demonstrates the powerful relationship between religion and politics in colonial Bengal and discusses the implications of this strong association in the contemporary context.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on multiple identity constructions and symbolic uses of language among Mexican-Americans in Arizona. The concept of a homogeneous "Mexican-American community" is shown to be a construct--an imagined community. Building on anthropological conceptualizations of identity, and studies in language and identity, a framework of the simultaneity of experience focuses the analysis in terms of ethnicity, class, and gender, framing a discussion of the emotional dimension of minority status and the symbolic function of language in identity. Rather than offer a comprehensive analysis of a bounded Mexican-American identity, this paper offers insight into the construction of multiple identities, through the analysis of discourse from a small group of people; individual voices are highlighted through the use of case studies. Conceptualizations of identity construction are problematized, including the common expectation of heterogeneity in ethnic groups such as those of Mexican heritage.

Full textAbstract:
Team projects in engineering are critical sites for professional and personal development as students interact with peers and faculty on projects designed to simulate engineering work. These projects allow students to try on professional roles and establish a sense of identity within their field, which in turn influences their retention through college and into engineering careers. However, team projects can present challenges specific to students from underrepresented populations. While research on women's team experiences is strong, few researchers have studied African-Americans. To fill this gap, the current study explores the experiences of African-American males on multiracial student teams and the impact of those teams on these students' identities.
This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach, using a three-interview sequence with eight African-American male engineering students as they worked on team projects at a predominantly white institution (PWI). The interviews gathered background information about each participant, explored the team functionality during the project, and enabled participants to reflect on the team experience. Two theoretical frameworks were considered during the study design: 1) intergroup contact theory provided a lens to explore interracial interactions, and 2) multiple identities provided a lens to analyze the impact of team dynamics on students' intersecting identities.
The findings provide a rich understanding of the team experiences of African-American male students that can enhance project-based teaching within engineering to more explicitly attend to team dynamics, including interracial interactions for students of color. Both positive and negative impacts on African-American males in engineering emerged from the intergroup contact within the team environment. Specifically, the results indicate that these participants enjoyed their multiracial student teaming experiences, supported by informal social interactions among team members and generally positive professional interactions. However, the study participants also entered their team experiences fully aware of the negative stereotypes about African-Americans in engineering and proactively worked to dispel those stereotypes.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the literate identities of college students who engage in various school and non-school writing practices simultaneously. In case studies of three student writers, the researcher seeks to explore how the discourse community roles, self-perceptions, negotiation of multiple writing processes and development of authority impacted the students' identities as writers. Triangulated research methods included weekly interviews with the student participants, observation of the students in their writing classrooms and analysis of the students' school and non-school texts over one semester. Students experienced several conflicts and synergies between contexts. Main findings indicated that writing across many academic and extra-academic settings during a short time period may alter self-perceptions, encourage or discourage the repurposing of writing processes, and limit the development of authority. Implications for teachers and researchers of college-level writing center on awareness of the literate lives of students beyond classroom walls. Future research questions are raised regarding the transfer of writing-related knowledge as it may occur in students with strong literate identities.ID: 030646207; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 150-155).

Full textAbstract:
The idea of finding a useful tool for bringing peace to the earth, understanding the true nature of conflict between human groups and creating harmony amongst living species seems an almost magical and unrealistic aim for science. Yet,like many other scientific disciplines, the field of political psychology has been accumulating scientific observations and knowledge about individuals and human groups around this magical aim to achieve a better future for all. This thesis, then, contributes to this goal through interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and systematic research, particularly focusing on the relationship between the dynamics in multiple identity processes, inter-group trust, and constructions of various forms of citizenship amongst adolescents in post-conflict societies. In order to provide theoretical, and methodological, contributions that may be relevant for policy and practice, four empirical enquiries were conceived to assess the dynamics of national identities, the role of citizenship and political trust in the identification process, and inter-group relations among young individuals during the peace process in Northern Ireland; and they revealed that even after decades of the peace process, 1) identification with classic national identities is strongly associated with out-group distrust. The newly-emerging superordinate national identity, Northern Irish, has become popular among youths in the social climate of the post Good Friday Agreement; 2) endorsement of this new identity leads to increasing out-group political trust, which turns into positive inter-group trust; these relationships however depended on the degree of civic citizenship acquired. 3) In the context of post-conflict transformation, the everyday life of individuals in mixed environments, where relative group status is balanced, impacts on the development of civic citizenship and positive inter-group relations. In this transformation process, 4) the formation of a superordinate social identity (in this case Northern Irish) is not necessarily based on the similarity of group members; but could be formed by perceptions of diversity of in-group membership instead. Overall, I contended that the future of intergroup relations in this complex socio-political context of post-conflict Northern Ireland, intergroup attitudes should be better understood within a theoretical framework embodying issues of multiple identities. citizenship orientation and political socialisation of young generations.

Full textAbstract:
Public sector reforms of recent decades in Europe have promoted managerialism and aimed at introducing private sector thinking and practices. However, with regard to public sector executives' self-understanding, managerial role identities have not replaced bureaucratic ones; rather, components from both paradigms have combined. In this article, we introduce a bi-dimensional approach (attitudes and practices) that allows for different combinations and forms of hybridity. Empirically, we explore the role identities of public sector executives across Europe, building on survey data from over 7,000 top public officials in 19 countries (COCOPS survey). We identify country-level profiles, as well as patterns across countries, and find that administrative traditions can account for these profiles and patterns only to a limited extent. Rather, they have to be complemented by factors such as stability of the institutional environment (indicating lower shares of hybrid combinations) or extent of reform pressures (indicating higher shares of hybrid combinations).

Full textAbstract:
The increasing number of immigrants in North America has made Generation 1.5 students--foreign-born children who immigrated to their host country with their first- generation immigrant parents (Rumbaut & Ima, 1988)--a significant population in Canadian and American schools (Fix & Passel, 2003; Gunderson, 2007). Of these students, many enter universities while still in the process of learning English as a second language (ESL). This often presents them with unique educational needs and challenges, which sometimes results in a “deficiency-oriented” view of Generation 1.5 university students (Harklau, 2000). However, much of the immigrant education research has thus far been limited to K-12 students, and the applied linguistics literature on Generation 1.5 university students has mostly examined their experiences within college and university ESL, writing, or composition program settings in the U.S. Therefore, this study addresses the gap in the literature through a qualitative multiple case study exploring the language socialization of seven Generation 1.5 Korean-Canadian university students. Triangulated data were collected over ten months through individual and group interviews with students and three English course instructors, questionnaires, students’ personal writings, and field notes. Drawing on the perspectives of language socialization (Duff & Hornberger, 2008) and language and identity (Norton, 2000), this study examined the contextual factors involved in the students’ language socialization processes and further investigated how these factors affected the students’ investments in languages and identities, as manifested in their everyday practices. The findings suggest that 1) in an ever-changing globalized world, the characteristics, including the educational goals and needs, of today’s Generation 1.5 Korean-Canadian students were considerably different from those of their predecessors; 2) through the complex interplay between their past, present, and future “imagined” experiences, the students were socialized into various beliefs and ideologies about language learning and use, often necessitating negotiations of investments in their identities and in their first, second, and sometimes third languages; and 3) given the diverse backgrounds and linguistic goals of these students, Generation 1.5 language learners should be seen from a “bi/multilingual and bicultural abilities” perspective rather than from a “deficiency-oriented” perspective. The study concludes with implications for policy, research, and pedagogy.
