Power in Homeless Shelter Staff-Client Interactions
Providence, Rhode Island (October 2010 - May 2011)
Homelessness
is a social issue of immediate concern during the down economy. The
prevailing problem was that homeless shelter staff and security
personnel subjected clients to abuse, harassment, and intimidation—as
defined in the state’s legal statutes—as a course of conduct. This critical, ethnographic study followed the lived experiences of nine women
experiencing first-time homelessness via covert participant observation.

Increasing the Academic and Occupational Expectations of
African American Male Probationers
 This Action Research Proposal investigates the problem of African American
males being overrepresented
in prison and underrepresented in college. The proposal includes a
profile of the investigator and the
selected community; a description and documentation of the problem; an
extensive literature review of
related research; and an analysis of expected outcomes using theoretical
(not real-world) data. Study outcomes will impact primary and
secondary education; community corrections and supervision departments;
and the community at large. |
