Method Tutorial

A lack of ethnic and racial diversity in studies is often cited as a limitation of sexual behavior research and psychological research broadly. There is a need for more resources that outline how to effectively recruit diverse samples, including undervoiced, non-college-attending emerging adults. The purpose of this study was to examine effective sampling methods for a sample at the intersection of multiple demographic groups—Black and Latinx/Hispanic non-college-attending emerging adults. A total of 161 participants were recruited using web-based sampling and venue-based sampling. Participants completed an online survey that asked about ecological contexts related to sexual behavior and their life experiences. This tutorial presents a brief description of each sampling approach and key steps that supported the success of each approach. A comparison of sample characteristics across sampling methods revealed that web-based sampling is a cost-effective method for examining sexual attitudes and behaviors among an ethnically diverse sample of non-college-attending emerging adults.

Ethnic federalism: an encyclopedic illustrated dictionary

The proposed dictionary is devoted to ethno-confessional factors that have influenced the development of Federal and regionalist States. Special attention is paid to immigration processes that contribute to the cultural, ethnic and racial diversity of modern state-building in the context of globalization. The publication is intended for students and teachers of legal, political science and historical fields of study, as well as for practical politicians and anyone interested in the problems of state studies.

All Americans are Not Perceived as “True” Americans: Implications for Policy

The United States is a nation of immigrants with significant ethnic and racial diversity. Yet, American identity is associated with European-Americans and their cultural values, defining ethnic minorities as less American. Experiences of identity denial are associated with negative mental and physical health outcomes, as well as lower political and civic engagement. Perceptions of prototypical American-ness link to a wide range of social policy about language, affirmative action, and redistribution. A cultural psychological perspective analyzes the contexts that promote exclusive conceptions of American identity, and it focuses on individual people who make up these contexts. Policies that recognize minority-group cultures and acknowledge the historical injustices against them can promote inclusive conceptions of American identity.

Holy Cross on West Forty-Second and the Transformation of New York City’s Irish American Catholicism

Archbishop John Hughes created Manhattan’s Holy Cross Parish in 1852 to serve the thousands of Irish Catholics moving north of Lower Manhattan into what became known as Longacre Square (later Times Square) and the developing neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen. Holy Cross maintained a strong Irish American identity into the mid-twentieth century, and its path charted the transformation of the disciplined folk piety created by the “devotional revolution” in Ireland in the nineteenth century into an American Catholicism dominated by Irish American clergy who sought to defend communalistic Catholic distinctiveness amid the rapid urban growth and burgeoning individualistic capitalism of a historically Protestant nation. In the early twentieth century, clergy and laity at Holy Cross converted Irish Catholic longing for an independent Irish nation and ambivalence about American society into a powerful synthesis of Irish American culture and American patriotism. In subsequent decades, Irish American Catholics at Holy Cross also participated in an emergent reactionary critique of the changing sexual mores and increasing ethnic and racial diversity of urban America. The white ethnic Catholic stance on American social change would become a key rhetorical and ideological element of resurgent American conservatism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Contributions of Brazilian educational policies: possibilities for dialogue and valuing ethnic and racial diversity in the school context

The diversity of cultures, of ways of being and existing in the world is increasingly seen as a process present in the context of schools and especially in classrooms. Immigration, internal and external displacements, different cultures, ethnicities present in the school imply reflections of an emancipatory, dialogical education that demands from teachers, male and female students, a positioning and a dialogue in favor of unity in diversity and in favor of equality of differences. In this perspective, we dedicate ourselves to dual and emancipatory theories that can contribute to the reflection of the events that took place in the educational context. Based on the communicative methodology, the analysis of educational practices, based on a section of the field research already completed, brings to the dialogue the possibilities that the school has in working with Brazilian legislation within the scope of black, Afro-Brazilian and African culture. From the results, we present the possibilities of an anti-racist education that favors dialogue and respect among the different.
