Patterns and predictors of father-infant engagement across race/ethnic groups

This study examines whether levels of father engagement (e.g., verbal stimulation, caregiving, and physical play) vary by race/ethnicity using a model that controls for fathers' human capital, mental health, and family relationships. It also tests whether the models work similarly across race/ethnic groups. Its sample of N=5,089 infants and their families is drawn from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study - Birth Cohort (ECLS-B). We found that, after including controls, African American and Latino fathers had higher levels of engagement in caregiving and physical play activities than White fathers. There were no differences in verbal stimulation activities across race/ethnicity. Fathers' education (college level) predicted more verbally stimulating activities whereas fathers' report of couple conflict predicted less caregiving and physical play. Although levels of engagement differed across the groups, the overall models did not differ by race/ethnicity, except for physical play. African American mothers who reported high levels of depressive symptoms had partners who engaged in more physical play than White mothers with high levels of depressive symptoms.     

阿富汗国家认同问题探析

国家认同危机是阿富汗伊斯兰共和国的核心问题之一。从阿富汗的历史地名、民族得名和国家形成入手,探讨阿富汗现代国家的构建过程,认为普什图族大民族主义是国家构建的动力源,普什图族是阿富汗国家的主心骨,同时阿富汗国内的少数民族备受普什图族的压迫和歧视,因此不认同阿富汗人的称谓,并产生严重的国家认同危机。因此。阿富汗国族的形成和巩固是一个艰难而缓慢的过程。     

A need to belong? The prevalence of experiences of belonging and exclusion in school among minority ethnic children living in the ‘White hinterlands’

Based on a survey of 711 children in Northern Ireland, this paper explores a range of aspects of experiences of belonging and exclusion in relation to school among three main minority ethnic groups: Irish Traveller, Chinese/Asian and European Migrant children. The study examines variations between each group and how they compare to the White settled population. The findings indicate that all three groups experience lower levels of belonging and higher levels of exclusion compared to their White, settled Northern Irish peers. The experiences of Irish Traveller children were the most negative. The article adds to the dearth of data on minority ethnic children living in mainly white regions in the UK and Ireland. It argues for the need to move beyond achievement gaps in assessing minority ethnic children's differential experiences in education and highlights the potential of belongingness as a concept for the further study of differential patterns of need and processes of inclusion.     

当代西方“族群”理论探析

当代西方学术界基本同意“ethnicgroup”是指拥有名称的人们群体,它具有真实或假想的共同祖先,享有共同的历史记忆和一种或数种共同文化要素。虽然当代西方学者曾经比较普遍地将“ethnicgroup”定义为大社会中小群体或次群体,但是,目前认为“ethnicgroup”也可以是主流群体或多数群体的观点渐成主流。因此,将目前汉语的“少数民族”和“56个民族”的“民族”英译成为“ethnicgroups”是比较正确的,并且继续使用“TheStateEthnicAffairCommis-sion”来翻译“国家民族事务委员会”应该比较合适。     

‘Row,row, row your boat’: singing,identity and belonging in a nursery

The concept of belonging is widely recognised as a fundamental part of human development and a key element of early childhood curricula. The research presented here explores the role of singing in the development of children's sense of belonging in a day nursery for children aged from six months to two years. The research design incorporated ethnography and portraiture, an approach to narrative inquiry. Data were collected over seven months, with the researcher adopting a participant observer role during regular visits to the nursery. Observation and interpretation of singing focused on relationships between children and adults and between peers. Themes of identity, togetherness, intersubjectivity and communicative musicality were identified in the analysis of data. The portrait shows the intrinsically interactive nature of singing, providing rich evidence of ways in which singing both supports and reflects the children's relationships and hence their sense of identity and belonging. This research contributes to literature on the musical lives of infants and toddlers that supports the value of music, especially singing, in early childhood.

Ya’at’eeh: Race-reimaged belongingness factors,academic outcomes,and goal pursuits among Indigenous community college students

For decades, students’ sense of belonging has been conceptualized through colonial perspectives, assuming students are to assimilate to educational institutions in order to belong. To challenge these perspectives, we race-reimaged belongingness factors in an investigation of Indigenous students (n = 887) from 156 U.S. community colleges in a secondary dataset. We first used measurement invariance testing to examine how Indigenous students interpret belongingness items differently from their non-Indigenous counterparts. Second, we used multilevel modeling to assess the role of Native-specific sense of belonging, operationalized through Indigenous ways of knowing and being, on GPA and goal pursuits. Our findings suggest that both traditional conceptualizations of belongingness factors (i.e., student relationships to teachers and peers) and Native-specific constructions of belongingness factors via relationships to community, family, and cultural identity were salient. Native-specific factors were more consistently associated with Indigenous students’ outcomes. Implications for best practices to foster belongingness and future directions for race-reimaging research will be discussed.     

研究生“认同”困境的破解

近年来,研究生数量不断增多,研究生个体对整个研究生群体的认同程度却不断降低。他们的生活往往被拘囿在专业的界限内,与其他专业或外界的接触非常少,这就导致研究生们在认同上陷入了一种困境,即有“专业归属”,无“群体归属”。破解这一困境的关键在于发挥研究生会的作用,利用这一学生组织所具有的制造认同与归属的力量,搭建交流平台,建构“共同体文化”,进而让研究生在对公共生活的积极参与中,完成自己对群体的认同,走出认同困境。     

“局外人”——论罗伯特·海顿诗歌中迷失的归属感

罗伯特.海顿在他的诗歌中表达了他对自身身份和他所从属的美国黑人民族的身份的困惑,诗人以其强烈的个人色彩表达了他对缺乏归属感的困惑。他还是一个主张从个人和历史文化角度来写作的诗人,因此遭到了提倡和支持黑人美学运动的黑人诗人的排挤。罗伯特.海顿的诗歌构成一个大的象征体系,他的那些极具了个人色彩的诗作也以其象征手法表达了他对民族和社会的担忧和困惑。     

族群建构与国家认同

本文以西方学者安德森(B.Anderson)的民族观为参照平台,通过展示前辈学者对族群概念的丰富多彩的解说,指出了族群建构的学理依据和实践价值,揭示了学术意义上的族群建构与具有政治意义的国家认同这二者之间的内在必然关联,强调了将它们并置关联在一起的现实意义,进而初步彰显了学术研究中固有的政治倾向性,阐明了在学术研究中要树立国家利益高于一切思想的重要性.

有关民族内涵的再思考

民族是一种具有政治与文化双重属性的共同体。一方面，民族的政治属性突出表现在它与国家的关系上，无论古代民族、近代民族，还是现代民族，它们总是与某个事实上存在的、过去曾经存在的、或人们要求其存在的国家密切相关，另一方面，民族与文化的互动，更令民族本身成为特定文化的象征。
