Friday, November 2, 2012
Today is All Souls Day. I am not sure what that means, but my calendar thought it was relevant. I have been away at meetings almost all week, and the Good News in HDFS has been accumulating almost more rapidly than we can share it. What a great problem to have!

Diversity Activities
HDFS is very active in terms of studying and teaching about the diversity of individuals, relationships, and families. The department faculty and graduate students engage in diversity-related research, teach classes, and host talks on diversity-related issues. Over the next few weeks we will share recent (2011-2012) faculty and graduate student publications and other efforts relevant to a variety of diversity topics.
Last week we shared our diversity work related to national origins, race and ethnicity, and the week before that, we covered our diversity work on, “Age.” This week we focus on HDFS Diversity emphases on religion, sex, sexual orientation, and sexual identity. In our final week we will cover diversity of socioeconomic status and family structure.
Religion:
HDFS doctoral student (now alumnus), Anthony James, conducted research on adolescent religiosity and spirituality. His dissertation title was “Relations between Youths’ Conceptions of Spirituality and their Developmental Outcomes.”(Dissertation defended in July, 2012)
Sex:
