Previous research has explored the affiliation and distancing strategies employed in published memoirs of gender transition. In this article, we are particularly interested in elucidating the ways in which individuals construct identities and characterize their sexualities, and how sociohistorical constraints might influence what is expressed with respect to this in personal narratives of transition. Using the memoirs of Lili Elbe (Hoyer, 1933) and Joy Ladin (2013) as conceptual brackets, this article investigates the complex relationship between the development and articulation of trans* identities and lesbian sexualities within the context of published memoirs of gender transition.

Corporate investment inherently relies on time horizon, as profits result from acquiring assets or developing capabilities that yield future benefits that exceed upfront costs. Despite the importance of time horizon to understanding resource allocation, knowledge about the subject has accumulated slowly. Our review therefore encompasses insights from several research streams that partially address the subject even though time horizon is not the central construct in any of them. We aim to clarify key constructs related to time horizon, organize prior research about the antecedents of time horizon, explain the implications of several theoretical traditions for time horizon, and detail the range of measures that have been used to capture time horizon empirically. By focusing narrowly on this topic but searching broadly for references, we provide integrative summaries of existing research and identify opportunities for new and unique research.

Communicative approaches to language teaching that emphasize the importance of speaking (e.g., task-based language teaching) require innovative and evidence-based means of assessing oral language. Nonetheless, research has yet to produce an adequate assessment model for oral language (Chun 2006; Downey et al. 2008). Limited by automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, which compares non-native speaker discourse to native-like discourse, most tests exclusively focus on accuracy while ignoring how examinees use language to make meaning. In order to offer stakeholders more trustworthy evidence of how examinees might use language in target language domains, a model anchored in systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is put forth. Specific examples are given of how SFL might be used to evaluate test task types, such as the story retell:three examinees' responses are contrasted using genre analysis (Derewianka 1990) and transitivity analysis (Ravelli 2000) in order to demonstrate elements in their linguistic profiles that ASR-based assessment would overlook. In so doing, implications are drawn regarding the potential of SFL models for enhancing automated scoring procedures by focusing on the meaning-form relations in the linguistic construction of narrative.

Research has shown a disjunction between language instruction at the lower and upper levels of foreign language (FL) study. Whereas lower-division courses focus on grammatical patterns, upper-level courses focus on specific content. The third-year writing course is in a unique position to help learners prepare for the types of learning that they will encounter in more advanced language use contexts. Using grounded classroom ethnography, this multiple case study of two classrooms chronicles how a collaborative partnership between an instructor and an applied linguist facilitated the integration of two types of technology into a third-year Spanish writing course at a North American University. Technology was carefully chosen based on pedagogical considerations and teacher goals. Students in these courses included a mixture of heritage and FL Spanish learners with a mean age of 21 years. Findings included four ways that technology played a role in third-year Spanish language learning, including as: (a) a way to alleviate their workloads, (b) a motivator, (c) a way to improve the quality and quantity of feedback students received in the course, and in some cases (d) antagonistic to language learning. Implications of classroom ethnography for research on blended learning are drawn. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Marked inequities or disparities in health care and health outcomes exist for millions in the United States of America. Urban apartheid and increasing social stratification separate social groups making it difficult for them to understand each other. Many U.S. health care professionals, including nurses, hold negative stereotypes toward the urban poor and disenfranchised. Creating vehicles for understanding and respect between health care professionals and the social groups they care for is needed. Cultural humility uses self-reflection, self-critique, openness and transcendence to address power inequities between providers and clients. "Critical service-learning" is a type of "service-learning" that adopts the tenets of critical theory and pedagogy in engaged partnerships to foster social responsibility and a justice-oriented framework. The purpose of this article is to showcase Project Horizon, an innovative university-based health and social advocacy partnership that uses critical service learning with the urban community to foster cultural humility. Project Horizon outcomes show that this long-term engaged partnership is an effective vehicle for developing and enhancing cultural humility among health care professionals participating in the endeavor. Implications: Replication of social and health advocacy projects such as the one conducted through Project Horizon can be made in other settings to increase the capacity for democratically oriented nurses and other health care professionals who have an enhanced sense of cultural humility.

Despite the recent vogue in studies on Futurism, writer and artist Benedetta Cappa Marinetti has received little critical attention. Few scholarly works have focused on her essays regarding woman and the Fascist state, and in particular the role of mother. It has been argued that these texts support not only the position that women futurists - in adhering to a movement remembered for its disprezzo della donna - were victims of their self-accepting inferiority, but also the view that Futurist attitudes towardswomen were a precursor of Fascist-era gender politics. Larkin challenges this position, and discusses crucial new archival research, which reveals how maternity in Benedetta's works is actually linked to her radical new reformulation of Futurism. Far from seconding woman's inferior position within the avant-garde, or indeed the Fascist state, Benedetta uses the issue of maternity subtly to subvert her status - in both the movement and society - from within. © 2013 Taylor & Francis.
