孝の押売 : 『二十四孝』と大阪の版元による「女訓書」

At some time in the Kyōhō period (1716–1736), but prior to 1729, the Osaka publisher Shibukawa (Kashiwaraya) Seiemon published a box-set anthology of twenty-three otogizōshi—works of short medieval fiction—which he titled Shūgen otogi bunko (The felicitous wedding companion library) and advertised as being “beneficial for women.” Among the twenty-three works is a Japanese translation of Guo Jujing’s early fourteenth-century Quan xiang ershisi xiao shi xuan (Selected verses on all aspects of the twenty-four filial exemplars), which, since the late Muromachi period (1337–1573), has been known in Japan simply as Nijūshikō (The twenty-four filial exemplars). Around the same time, between 1698 and 1729, Shibukawa published at least six major educational texts for women, three of which include illustrated tales from Nijūshikō. The present article considers Shibukawa’s otogizōshi Nijūshikō in light of his Onna-yō bunshō kōmoku (Models of writing for women: An inventory, 1698), Onna dōji ōrai (Models of correspondence for women and children, 1715), and Onna daigaku takarabako (A treasure box of learning for women, 1716). By doing so, it seeks to explore the significance of Nijūshikō for women, both as Shibukawa might have imagined it, and as women themselves may have conceived of it upon reading Nijūshikō in the context of Shibukawa’s didactic works for women

Staffing practices, professional preparation trends, and demographics among student affairs administrators at HBCUs: Implications from a national study

Results from a national demographic study of student affairs administrators at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are presented in this article. Specifically, staffing practices in student affairs divisions and the educational backgrounds and aspirations of directors, senior student affairs administrators, and chief student affairs officers (n=270) were examined. Data from 52 four-year institutions show that HBCU student affairs administrators, especially those at the director level, hold advanced degrees in fields other than student affairs and higher education administration. More than 70% of those without doctoral degrees aspired to pursue them someday. Other findings reveal gender disparities between women and men at the highest levels of administration; racial homogeneity across all levels; and a nearly exclusive reliance on local recruitment methods to fill administrative positions. Implications for student affairs divisions at HBCUs, as well as graduate preparation programs and national student affairs professional associations, are offered at the end of the article
