But it also posits concrete suggestions for changing the way we view the sexes, from stepped-up affirmative action programs, to timetables for rectifying gender-based valuations. Accessible and lively, Why So Slow? is a breakthrough in the discourse on gender and has great potential to move the women's movement to a new, more productive phase." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Virginia Valian has made distinguished contributions to the science of language acquisition, and here she turns her analytical eye to another challenging problem — how the human capacity for categorization affects the perception and status of women. Why So Slow? is comprehensive, skillful, and well-written. It is an important advance and an indispensable resource." — Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology, MIT, and author of The Language Instinct and How the Mind Works "This is a very valuable book, as a resource, as a source of insight and understanding, and as a good read. It stands on the solid ground of social science research, yet opens that research up to the critical questions of gender and society." — Claude M. Steele, Stanford University "Valian provides insights and remedies that, over time, may help us all to achieve the equality for which we have been striving for so long." • — Julia S.

Launched in 2003 by Domino’s Pizza magnate and philanthropist Thomas S. Monaghan, AMU offers a first-rate liberal arts curriculum and over 30 challenging undergraduate majors, as well as graduate degrees in theology. In addition to vibrant programs in the humanities, sciences, and music, the University features pre-professional and professional specializations in disciplines as diverse as nursing, accounting, and biochemistry. The University’s Core Curriculum numbers among the strongest in America and provides graduates with the tools they need to become critical thinkers, competent writers, and lovers of learning. Beginning in the Fall of 2018, the University also began to offer degrees, including a Master in Business Administration, through online learning. An Ave Maria education has been a spring board for many to promising careers and vocations. Recent alumni pursuing graduate studies have been admitted to prominent law and medical schools and other graduate programs of distinction. Those seeking employment have secured favorable placements in the marketplace. A number of AMU’s graduates have entered the seminary or religious life, while others have been called to married life – often with a fellow Ave classmate! Vocational discernment is at the heart of the Ave Maria educative experience.

  • Pro-Woman Framing in the Pro-Life Movement
    Fighting for Life: Pro-Woman Framing in the Pro-life Movement Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alexa J. Trumpy Graduate Program in Sociology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Andrew Martin, Advisor Vincent Roscigno Liana Sayer Copyrighted by Alexa J. Trumpy 2011 Abstract How do marginal actors change hearts and minds? Social movement scholars have long recognized that institutional outsiders target a range of potential allies to press their agenda. While much of the movement research historically privileged formal political activities in explaining social change, understanding the way actors draw upon culture and identity to garner wider support for a variety of social, political, and economic causes has become increasingly important. Ultimately, research that incorporates political process theories with the seemingly dichotomous notions of cultural and collective identity is especially valuable. To better understand how movement actors achieve broad change, I draw on recent attempts to examine how change occurs in fields. I argue it is necessary to examine how a field’s structural and cultural components, as well as the more individual actions, resources, rhetoric, and ideologies of relevant actors, interact to affect field change or maintain stasis. This research does so through an analysis of the current debate over abortion in America, arguably the most viciously divisive religious, moral, political, and legal issue since slavery. Over the past four decades, the American abortion debate has been glibly characterized as fight between the rights of two groups: women and fetuses, with pro-choice groups championing the rights of the former and pro-life groups the latter.

  • Faith and Secularisation in Religious Colleges and Universities
    Faith and Secularisation in Religious Colleges and Universities There are almost 2,000 religious higher education institutions worldwide, 250 of which are in Europe. Faith and Secularisation in Religious Colleges and Universities is the first book to offer a comparative study of these institutions across many religions and countries including Christian, Islamic and Jewish universities in areas including the US, Europe and the Middle East. Considering the current tensions and debates surrounding academic free- dom, institutional governance, educational policy, mission and identity, this innovative and challenging book explores: • institutions’ relations with the state and their wider communities • whether such institutions can be both religious and ‘universities’ • the appropriate role of religious faith within colleges and universities • academic autonomy and the role of religion in education Faith and Secularisation in Religious Colleges and Universities offers some important ideas on how such institutions can be part of diversity and plural- ism yet remain committed in a holistic and coherent way to their religious traditions. It will appeal to readers involved in higher education studies, religious study and the history of education, as well as individuals within religious institutions. James Arthur is Professor of Education at Canterbury Christ Church Uni- versity. He completed his doctorate at Oriel College in the University of Oxford and has written widely on the relationship between theory and practice in education. Faith and Secularisation
