Advocacy in the Youth Justice System as a Speech-Language Pathologist

In this work, an overview is given of the prevalence of language disorders within the youth offender population along with its implication for you g individuals in the criminal justice system. An evidence-based argument is made for the need for speech-language pathologists to advocate for youth offenders with language disorders by educating relevant personnel and providing language therapy services to youth offenders who qualify

What's the story? Sociological explorations of the life course narratives of adults with care experience

This thesis extends understandings of people who experienced care by making use of sociological approaches and concepts. This approach highlights how previous research and cultural representations of young people in care produce individualised understandings and psychological explanations of difference. This is compounded by a lack of research on care leavers over the age of 25 and the omission of the voices of people with care experience within what little research there is. These absences may contribute to the depiction of the deficit, ascribed identity of being a child in care. To address these absences, the methodological design was exploratory, qualitative and interpretive and included 11 adults with care experience aged between 30 and 80. Data was collected by using a biographical narrative interpretive method of interviewing. Participants’ stories were analysed inductively, drawing on sociological approaches and concepts, which included the sociology of youth, childhood and family and the social theories of Bourdieu and Honneth. The results demonstrate how participants’ narratives show that their identities are negotiated across the life course. Crucially, participants’ identities are not reducible to their care experiences but emerge and are negotiated from diverse events across their life course. Participants are differently equipped to negotiate the deficit identity of being a child in care, depending on their life experiences and their access to material, social and emotional resources. In this research, the realisations of negative expectations of care leavers within the told stories are in part produced culturally, relationally and systematically. It is concluded that this sociological approach to the exploration of the identity of adults with care experience is of value as it situates participants’ experiences within a broader framework that discusses social, cultural and political forces. Furthermore, this finding may support others researching other groups with problematised identities. Recommendations are made for future research, highlighting in particular the ways in which the evidence base about care leavers’ life courses can be further developed

Public affairs, private lives : a study on the effect of Combat exposure on public affairs soldiers

This research probes into the attitudes and experiences of Army public affairs soldiers as they relate to combat exposure, looking at whether a spiral of silence inhibits them from reporting and seeking help for combat trauma. The research included interviews with both officers and enlisted soldiers serving in public affairs positions in the U.S. Army, both on active duty and on reserve status. Soldiers shared their personal experiences and opinions about deployment in support of combat and humanitarian missions and shared their perceptions about both the preparedness for their combat support roles and the stigma associated with post-traumatic stress disorder within the career field

Maximizing Influence and Sensesight: A Grounded Theory Study of How Executives Make Sense and Lead in Complexity

U.S. health care reform is a significant driver of complexity in healthcare organizations. The highly regulated directive began with the Affordable Care Act of 2008 and seeks to improve value of patient care by reducing costs and improving quality. However, to implement the required changes, executives must continue daily operations while they dismantle and reassemble core clinical and financial processes of the organization. The shift toward value exacerbates complexity in the already complicated and high stakes healthcare field. Complexity challenges improvement efforts and negatively impacts quality of care. Complexity also affects how executives make sense and lead. For success, executive leaders must understand the environment and maximize their influence as they balance operational logistics and cultural aspects of change. Cognitive and social-cognitive processes, such as sensemaking and sensegiving, play a pivotal role in how the leader calibrates a direction and influences the organization. This qualitative constructivist grounded theory study of 17 executive leaders explains the processes executives used to make sense and maximize influence in complex circumstances. The major finding in this study theorizes how sensesight, or insight emerging from sensemaking about sensegiving, maximizes influence during situational demands. The findings provide a theoretical model illustrating the processes and could benefit executives attempting to lead in complexity
