“…Depending on one's situation, one's standpoint may vary from that of another individual with a similar status or background (Rolin, 2007). ST is especially important to the epistemology of feminist work (Rolin, 2007;West & Turner, 2004). ST alone does not suffice for the current study because of criticisms it has received for excluding underrepresented groups of women such as women of colour, disabled women, and lesbians (West & Turner, 2004 diverse populations of women said to have been left out of Sandra Harding's Feminist ST (West & Turner, 2004).…”

Social networking sites: a support system for African-American women wearing natural hair

Hair texture has been a factor in the unspoken cultural divide amongst African-American (AA) women. US society's White beauty ideology enhanced the desire for chemically straight hair; however, some AAs reject this standard. Natural hair is not fully accepted among AA sub-cultures or in mainstream society [Byrd, A. D., & Tharps, L. L. (2001). Hair story: Untangling the roots of Black hair in America. New York, NY: St. Martin's Press]. Consequently, AA women lack knowledge of their natural hair texture. Social networking sites (SNS) present support for the movement towards acceptance and appreciation of natural hair because they communicate information concerning natural hair care and styling. This research revealed the level of support SNS provided for women with natural hair. A purposeful sample of 17 natural hair women participated in focus groups and shared their experiences with SNS. A few participants revealed that they were 'addicted' to using YouTube for hair advice. Participants talked about having no family or friends who wore natural hair, therefore support had to be offered and obtained elsewhere. Findings inform the AA culture and mainstream society on the importance of acceptance of natural hair.

“…On the one hand, measurable targets and multi-professional teamwork are considered to achieve desired outcomes (Clark, 2005); on the other, that the formulaic nature of policy inhibits individual incentive-taking, thus The definition of professional culture refers to the collective values and viewpoints which express the quality and character of people's actions within an occupation (Hargreaves & Goodson, 1996) and are considered a key feature of professionalism (Johnson, 1972). Opponents of this view (Allen, 1995;Rolin, 2009) argue that such a classification suggests professional culture signifies a uniformity in which all exist in the same way, regardless of social power or minority representatives; a situation exemplified by some ethnic minorities who underplayed their cultural heritage so as to assimilate into existing culture (Allen, 1995), and homogenise with the values of the dominant workforce (Rolin, 2009). Importantly, the marginalised are not monolithic; hence professional culture may not be experienced identically because of inequality.…”

In this article, the author discusses findings from an interpretative phenomenological study which explores challenging issues in relation to professionalism for counselling, and illuminates features in need of consideration in relation to organisational contexts. These features include the rapid reconfiguration of professionalism in response to contemporary organisational structures such as policy and managerial driven incentives. Using two individual semi-structured interviews, the meaning of professionalism for counsellors is explored. The author proposes that the rapidly growing disparity between old or occupational professionalism, as opposed to new or organizational professionalism, causes uncertainty for counsellors who may struggle to maintain their professional identity. The counsellor's sense of professionalism is further disempowered if they feel themselves unheard, causing the counsellor to either resist or disengage from organizational obligations. Findings suggest that a counsellor's sense of professionalism is more ably communicated if their place in an organisation is enacted rather than imposed. The author discusses the experiences of two counsellors in relation to the literature on professionalism, with focus upon the emotional reactions which were expressed as to organisational changes.

“…Postmodern anthropological theory and standpoint theory (Baudrillard, 1995;Derrida, 1997Derrida, [1967; Foucault, 1970;Lyotard, 1984;Rolin, 2009) have highlighted subjectivity, the individual's perspective, and inter-subjective discourses. This emphasis corresponds well with the observer effect in quantum mechanics.…”

Free download of e-book: https://www.academia.edu/28881906/Quantum_Anthropology_Man_Cultures_and_Groups_in_a_Quantum_PerspectiveThe book offers a fresh look on man, cultures, and societies built on the current advances in the fields of quantum mechanics, quantum philosophy, and quantum consciousness. The authors have developed an inspiring theoretical framework transcending the boundaries of particular disciplines in social sciences and the humanities. Quantum anthropology is a perspective, studying man, culture, and humanity while taking into account the quantum nature of our reality. This framework redefines current anthropological theory in a new light, and provides an interdisciplinary overlap reaching to psychology, sociology, and consciousness studies.Contents:1.
