a. Bloch, E. The Psychology of Terrorism. Abstract: The events of 9/11/01 have shown us that terrorists may strike again with even greater fury. It is urgent to figure out what kinds of humans do such things. What makes them tick? Initially, I feared it would be impossible to enter into the mentalities of people who grew up in cultures so different from my own. As I proceeded, my overwhelming impression as I compared Timothy McVeigh, Osama bin Laden, and Mohaned Atta became one of interchangeability. Often I found myself forgetting which person or group I was learning about, or from which countries they had come, so alike did they seem in their personalities and in their justifications for violence. It is this apparent sameness that I address in this paper. Psychology of Terrorism Bibliography attached. b. Clark, J. M. Faludi, Fight Club, and Phallic Masculinity: Exploring the Emasculating Economics of Patriarchy. Abstract: While teaching in 1999, Susan Faludi’s Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man was published and the class had to reckon with it. Later students of mine insisted I rent and watch Fight Club, which I was reluctant to do because of its violent content. I was surprised to find myself facing the same socioeconomic connections in the two. Ironically in the interim, my own evolving efforts to do environmental theology and ethics kept sliding toward economic issues as well. The combined effect of all this was that my students compelled me to further explore connections I had been trying to avoid. c. Connor, J. Male Nurses: Men in a World Dominated by Women. Abstract: This paper looks at the phenomenon of the male nurse from a historical, sociological, and personal viewpoint of a male nurse in New Zealand and addresses the question: Male nurses are a minority but are they an oppressed minority? d. Davis, D. A., Barton, E. R., & Sheehan, J. J. Panel on Post-Biological Human Development: The Centrality of Initiation for Human Beings to Mature and Gain Wisdom. e. Migliaccio, T. A. Abused Husbands. Abstract: Husband abuse has been and continues to be a topic of controversy within the field of family violence. This study analyzes the narratives of 12 men who claim to have been abused by their partners and compares their stories to the narratives and findings of past studies of wife abuse…which reinforces the finding of wife abuse research that abusive relationships display certain commonalities and reveals the necessity of future studies of battered males.
