The Argentinean data showed that men gave higher overall estimates than women (M = 110.4 vs. 105.1) as well as higher estimates on mathematical and spatial intelligence. Participants thought themselves slightly less bright than their fathers (2 IQ points) but brighter than their mothers (6 points), their grandfathers (8 points), but especially their grandmothers (11 points). Regressions showed that participants thought verbal and mathematical IQ to be the best predictors of overall IQ. Results were broadly in agreement with other studies in the area.

    Lavender Notes Improving the lives of LGBT older adults through community building, education, and advocacy. Celebrating 22+ years of service and positive change April 2017 Volume 24, Issue 4 Stories of Our Lives Donald Silva and William Baillie Don and Bill met each other 50+ years ago and have been together since November of 1966. They bought their current house in East Oakland back in 1972. Not what many people would consider your "typical" couple, this long-term pair - finally married in 2008 before Prop. 8 was passed and subsequently thrown out by the Supreme Court - have spent many happy hours with Don dressed as a stunning woman and Bill his handsome male escort. Their lives started out in much more traditional ways, however. Don was born at Providence Hospital in Oakland on May 2nd, 1935, the youngest of three sons, to a working-class mechanic and his homemaker wife. Even as an infant, Don was frequently mistaken for a girl. "My Dad came from a very large family of 13 kids," Don explains, "so I was surrounded by family throughout my childhood. My grandfather had a ranch in DeCoto - which is now Union City - with a creek running through it. My brothers, cousins and I spent many happy days there working in the huge vegetable fields and playing at 'bare-ass beach'!" A member of the first class to graduate from San Lorenzo High School in 1953, Don half-heartedly dated a few girls, but knew at an early age that he was really more into boys. "I was mostly trying to cover my ass in high school, so people wouldn't know I was gay," Don recalls.

Jones 2021 Published by the Graduate School ABSTRACT International Relations suffers from underspecified treatments of culture that risk reifying, essentializing, or ignoring the effects of cultural differences in the conduct of relationships between states. Following a review of the development of the culture concept, this interpretivist, epistemologically critical realist, dissertation introduces intercultural adaptive frameshifting from the intercultural communication literature. To assess whether culture has effect within an epistemic community, four frameworks are evaluated within a non-IR field (global Christian reasoning).

Meanwhile, scholars in the growing field of working- class studies attempt to define what working-class literature is by formulating criteria for what kinds of people count as working-class, based on moral values supposedly held by working-class people. Usually, working-class people are envisioned as white, heteronormative, and dignified legitimate workers. Working-class studies seldom engages with queer theory or conventional forms of identity politics. Conversely, queer theorists often reference class, but abandon it in favor of other topics.

  • The Desired Unsung: Black Middle-Class Men and Intimate Relationships
    The Desired Unsung: Black Middle-Class Men and Intimate Relationships by Joy L. Hightower A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Victoria Bonnell Professor Sandra Smith Professor Ula Taylor Summer 2017 © Copyright by Joy L. Hightower, 2017. All rights reserved. Abstract The Desired Unsung: Black Middle-Class Men and Intimate Relationships by Joy L. Hightower Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Popular discourses about the crises of Black family, marriage, and economic stability are refracted through the failure of low-income Black men. But, the academic discussion is also tinged by the “taint of the ghetto,” in which sociologists have tended to analyze the diverse experiences of Black relationships through a reductionist frame based on poverty and family disorganization. Black middle-class (BMC) men also carry the weight of these class-specific narratives (e.g., the absentee father, philanderer, drug dealer, or gang member)—not just because there is a dearth of knowledge about BMC heterosexual relationships but because everyone else—from single mothers, never married women, social commentators, and pundits—are speaking for Black men, except themselves. Based on in-depth interviews, this dissertation seeks to enrich the debate surrounding Black relationships by including the
