Objective: Graduate students are more likely to experience mental illness than their peers in the general population. One potential source of support for personal issues and/or mental illness is a graduate student's faculty advisor. Although the relationship between faculty advisors and graduate students can positively influence the success and…

A core component of teaching media literacy involves students analyzing and reflecting on how they use media in their daily lives. In this hands-on activity, college students play social media privacy bingo. Each square represents a different type of private information that they might choose to share on social media.

Background: Engineering has its own unique disciplinary culture that establishes norms and ideals. Many of these norms and ideals are centered on White, masculine, heteronormative constructs, which tend to presuppose able-bodiedness.

Sexual violence on UK university campuses has received research and policy attention. However, little is known about the experiences of and responses to student victim-survivors with minoritized identities and how inequalities linked to race, sexuality and disability may impact the disclosure process.

Qualitative studies have revealed that disabled graduate students (DGS) are unlikely to self-disclose their disabilities and even less likely to register with disability services offices (DSO). The current study analyzed a survey of DGS at a large institution to determine if participants registered for services and if not, what barriers prevented…

The broad purpose of this study was to address gaps in the literature by applying the Relational Humility Model (RHM; Davis et al., 2010, 2011) to clinical supervision by testing the interpersonal variables of relational humility (RH; Davis et al., 2011), the supervisory working alliance (SWA, Bordin, 1983), and relational behavior (RB; Shaffer…

In this paper, we weave in and out of theory and narrative in order to consider the potential of disability and its relationship to knowledge construction. We consider theories to be stories that one can tell about the world. And these theories are enlivened by other stories that we tell about ourselves and the world around us. As disability…

A number of social networking platforms have emerged as a result of the development of information and communication technology which have become increasingly user-friendly and full with valuable features.

We examined doctoral students' experiences of nondisclosure with their dissertation chairs. Using a hermeneutic phenomenology design, we analyzed two individual interviews of 10 doctoral students. We identified the following three themes: (a) the professional dynamics in the relationship, (b) the interpersonal and cultural dynamics in the…

In this article, we propose that using student-centred pedagogical approaches and engaging in the possibly controversial practice of educator self-disclosure may engender spaces in which educators, researchers and students can engage with the pressing question of sexual violence prevention together and, in particular, how can we keep each other…

Coming out of the closet is a psychosocial process that entails the disclosure of one's non- heteronormative sexual orientation to family, peers, and the wider public -- a phenomenon that is necessitated by the prevalence of societal heteronormativity. With the recent legal decriminalization of consensual same-sex sexual relationships in India,…

Growing evidence from multiple countries in Africa documents sexual violence in schools. However, when that violence is committed by teachers it is shrouded in secrecy. This article identifies disconnects between quantitative and qualitative research, policy and practice, which have contributed to these silences. We address some of these silences…
