Going in the back door: rural African American women's experiences with reproductive healthcare, 2010

The purpose of this research was to investigate salient factors that contributed to the deficient levels of maternity care received by African-American women in Leake County, Mississippi. Utilizing Three Levels of Racism and Structural and Non-Structural Barriers to Care as the conceptual framework, this study examined rural African American womens experiences with reproductive healthcare, revealing patterns and concerns related to the levels of care received by this community. Narrative Analysis and Grounded Theory were utilized in exposing the development of belief systems unique to this population of rural African-American women. The results of this study reveal several ideas and cultural patterns that respondents demonstrated during this study. Using Cultural Environmental Conditioning as part of theory development also exposed culturally specific themes. One such idiosyncratic theme is the Black Bottle Syndrome. This syndrome is prevalent as a means of explaining the level of care and suspicion that rural African-American women experienced in Leake County, Mississippi. This study provides a foundational background emphasizing the need for further research and model development relevant to specific minority populations. idiosyncratic theme is the Black Bottle Syndrome.

Cal Poly Activism: The Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant

The use of nuclear power is a complicated issue which brings forth concerns for the environment and local populations. The Diablo Canyon Power Plant, which began construction in 1968, was part of this clash between ideas of progress and safety. Environmental concerns arose as locals who cared about the beautiful coastline and archeological area, dating back thousands of years, where the plant was being built wanted to see the site left alone.4 Nuclear power at this time was also a relatively new source of energy which the public had little understanding of, bringing a high concern for safety among locals. With the rise of student activism throughout the country in this era, how did Cal Poly students and faculty react to the construction of this plant? Cal Poly activism in the 1970s was first initiated by passionate Cal Poly faculty, which led to student activism, despite opposition by the administration. This causation for growth in activism is particularly evident in the activism against the nuclear power plant which will be the focus of this paper
