3. Image Is Everything: Educator Awareness of Perceived Barriers for Students with Physical Disabilities in Geoscience Degree Programs

Author

Mol, Lisa and Atchison, Chris

Abstract

This exploratory pilot study builds on the image issues associated with geoscience degrees (namely physical geography and geology) and the potential obstacles this creates for prospective applicants with physical disabilities; departmental faculty may not be aware of the exclusive image projected that is thought to attract more students. While the industry has moved from field-based data collection to more office-based observation and interpretation of those data, universities still heavily rely on "adventurous geoscience" in their marketing, depicting students tackling challenging environments. The context of perception issues within the geoscience discipline is illustrated through selected program promotional materials, and student registration data. These issues were used for the basis of our study survey, sent out to higher education geoscience educators, which asked questions reading fieldwork and accessibility of the curriculum. These surveys were followed up with semi-structured interviews, investigating educator awareness of the perceived importance of fieldwork within the curriculum. The awareness of accessibility issues were connected with opportunities to lower perceived barriers sufficiently to encourage students with disabilities to apply for geoscience degrees. Outcomes of this exploratory investigation are hoped to provide the springboard for further conversations amongst the geoscience community.

Abstract

This paper reviews the Canadian literature on men who purchase sexual services and presents the results of a self-administered survey conducted in Greater Vancouver of 80 such men. The paper describes the general demographic characteristics of the sample and selected aspects of their sex-buying behaviour. Because of heightened concern about the large number of street-level sex workers who have gone missing or been murdered, and in order to offer some reflections on the prohibitionist argument that violence in prostitution is ubiquitous, the paper examines the self-reported commission of violence against sex workers and other people. We also examine their experiences of being victimized by sex workers. Les auteurs de cet article passent en revue la documentation canadienne sur les hommes qui achetent des services sexuels et presentent les resultats d'une enquete autoadministree aupres de 80 de ces hommes, enquete qui a ete realisee dans le Grand Vancouver. L'article decrit les caracteristiques demographiques generales de l'echantillon et certains aspects de leur comportement d'achat sexuel. En raison de l'inquietude accrue concernant le grand nombre de travailleurs du sexe sur la rue qui ont disparu ou qui ont ete tues, et de facon a apporter quelques reflexions au debat sur le prohibitionnisme qui allegue que la violence est omnipresente dans la prostitution, les auteurs examinent les actes de violence commis sur les travailleurs du sexe et autres personnes, et declares par eux. Ils se penchent egalement sur les experiences des hommes qui ont ete victimes de violence de la part de travailleurs du sexe., IN ALMOST EVERY ENGLISH-LANGUAGE RESEARCH ARTICLE on the clients of prostitutes published over the past 20 years, one of the first things the reader encounters is a lament about how [...]

Abstract

In this paper we illustrate how a mixed methods research design can be adapted to serve as a way of addressing specific challenges posed by conducting research with stigmatized and hard-to-reach populations. Specifically, we show how employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods in a sequential and nested mixed methods design - accompanied by compatible and innovative sampling and solicitation approaches - facilitated securing the participation of the largest non-coerced sample of adults who have purchased sexual services recorded to date. We argue that using a mixed methods design not only allowed us to access some of the most stigmatized and hidden members of the population involved in sex for money exchanges, but it facilitated the acquisition a the breadth and depth of information (data) that would not have been possible with conventional mono-method designs. As a result we are able to answer complex research questions that transcend divides of micromacro and structure-agency. We conclude that the acquisition of knowledge from mixed methods studies can be particularly important when existing research is scarce and the need for the development of evidence-based procedure and policy is pressing.

Abstract

Men, transgender people, and those working in off-street locales have historically been underrepresented in sex work health research. Failure to include all sections of sex worker populations precludes comprehensive understandings about a range of population health issues, including potential variations in the manifestation of such issues within and between population subgroups, which in turn can impede the development of effective services and interventions. In this article, we describe our attempts to define, determine, and recruit a purposeful sample for a qualitative study examining the interrelationships between sex workers’ health and the working conditions in the Vancouver off-street sex industry. Detailed is our application of ethnographic mapping approaches to generate information about population diversity and work settings within distinct geographical boundaries. Bearing in mind the challenges and the overwhelming discrimination sex workers experience, we scope recommendations for safe and effective purposeful sampling inclusive of sex workers’ heterogeneity.
