Census Inclusion Effects

Summary

Census Inclusion Effects explores the implications of incorporating sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) questions into national census forms. Focusing on the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, the book delves into both the statistical and socio-political ramifications of collecting SOGI data. A key insight is that while such data is invaluable for addressing inequalities affecting marginalized communities and allocating resources effectively, it also raises significant concerns about data privacy and the potential for misuse.

 
The book examines the historical context of census taking and the evolution of demographic data collection. It highlights debates surrounding SOGI data collection, weighing the benefits of informed social policy against the risks to individual privacy. For example, while Canada includes SOGI questions, generating data for policy, the US has seen limited inclusion in specific surveys. By comparing these approaches, the book identifies best practices for responsible and effective SOGI data collection.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book first introduces a theoretical framework, then analyzes methodologies, and finally offers policy recommendations. Drawing from government reports, statistical datasets, and interviews, it uniquely combines quantitative analysis with qualitative insights, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and LGBTQ+ advocates alike.

Empowering Black Boys to...

Gordon Braxton

Gordon Braxton was in his second year of college before anybody bothered to speak to him about sexual violence, despite the fact that he already knew friends and family members that had survived sexual assault. Unfortunately, this is a  
common experience as many young men and boys, especially Black boys, do not have an opportunity to discuss their views on sexual violence and what role they might play in preventing it. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture  
supports the training of a rising generation by providing commentary from an experienced educator, an overview of existing research and preventative techniques, and insight into young men’s perspectives on violence. The result is a  
powerful new perspective on violence prevention—the first to focus on Black boys and to be written by a Black male author. 
 
The most critical lesson that boys need to learn is that they have an essential role to play in preventing sexual violence. So many of them accept this violence as beyond their control when they could be valuable agents of change. More and  
more parents and mentors of boys are coming to address sexual violence as a cultural problem rather than the activities of isolated social deviants. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture adds an important voice to our discussions  
about sexual violence education and prevention, showing that a rising generation of boys will play a vital part in realizing a non-violent future.

The Crucible of Desegregation -...

R. Shep Melnick

Examines the patchwork evolution of school desegregation policy. 
 
In 1954, the Supreme Court delivered the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education—establishing the right to attend a desegregated school as a national constitutional right—but the decision contained fundamental ambiguities. The Supreme Court has never offered a clear definition of what desegregation means or laid out a framework for evaluating competing interpretations. In The Crucible of Desegregation, R. Shep Melnick examines the evolution of federal school desegregation policy from 1954 through the termination of desegregation orders in the first decades of the twenty-first century, combining legal analysis with a focus on institutional relations, particularly the interactions between federal judges and administrators. Melnick argues that years of ambiguous, inconsistent, and meandering Court decisions left lower court judges adrift, forced to apply contradictory Supreme Court precedents in a wide variety of highly charged political and educational contexts. As a result, desegregation policy has been a patchwork, with lower court judges playing a crucial role and with little opportunity to analyze what worked and what didn’t. The Crucible of Desegregation reveals persistent patterns and disagreements that continue to roil education policy.

Courageous Women of the Bible -...

Arcelio Hernández Mussio

The Bible often remembers and celebrates the names of great men of God. People like Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, Isaiah, and Elijah are well-known for their important roles in the story of God's people. These men are honored for their faith, leadership, and the key parts they played in God's plan.
However, as we delve into the Scriptures, we often overlook the equally significant contributions of women of God. The Bible, while rich with the stories of these men, also holds accounts of extraordinary women whose strength, wisdom, and faithfulness were crucial to the unfolding of God's narrative. For instance, Sarah's faith in God's promise of a son, Ruth's loyalty to her mother-in-law, and Mary's acceptance of her role in God's plan. Yet, these women often remain in the background, their stories less frequently told, their virtues less regularly celebrated.
This book is a necessary contribution to Christian literature, as it celebrates the strength and wisdom of prominent women in the Bible. In the pages you are about to read, you will get a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women. Their faith and actions were significant and played pivotal roles in shaping the Biblical narrative. The book is organized chronologically, starting with the Old Testament and moving through to the New Testament, to provide a comprehensive view of these women's contributions.
This book celebrates these 30 women, each embodying unique qualities and virtues that can guide and inspire us in our modern lives. Their stories offer timeless lessons on resilience, faith, leadership, and profound love, demonstrating that the challenges and virtues they faced are just as relevant and applicable in our lives today. Whether it is Hannah's unwavering faith, Abigail's strategic wisdom, or Ruth's selfless loyalty, these women provide powerful examples of how to live with purpose and integrity in our contemporary world.
