To increase participation of students of color in science graduate programs, research has focused on illuminating student experiences to inform ways to improve them. In biology, Black students are vastly underrepresented, and while religion has been shown to be a particularly important form of cultural wealth for Black students, Christianity is stigmatized in biology. Very few studies have explored the intersection of race/ethnicity and Christianity for Black students in biology where there is high documented tension between religion and science. Since graduate school is important for socialization and Black students are likely to experience stigmatization of their racial and religious identity, it is important to understand their experiences and how we might be able to improve them. Thus, we interviewed 13 Black Christian students enrolled in biology graduate programs and explored their experiences using the theoretical lens of stigmatized identities. Through thematic content analysis, we revealed that students negotiated experiences of cultural isolation, devaluation of intelligence, and acts of bias like other racially minoritized students in science. However, by examining these experiences at the intersection of race/ethnicity and religion, we shed light on interactions students have had with faculty and peers within the biology community that cultivated perceptions of mistrust, conflict, and stigma. Our study also revealed ways in which students' religious/spiritual capital has positively supported their navigation through biology graduate school. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of why Black Christian graduate students are more likely to leave or not pursue advanced degrees in biology with implications for research and practice that help facilitate their success.  相似文献   

奥古斯丁的“信念”     

龙潜 《遵义师范学院学报》2014,(6)

奥古斯丁是一个乌托邦主义者。他把基督教的神秘主义普遍化,他为基督教制定的神学理论体系,成为普通基督教徒的行为指南。个人借助对身体的约束管理可突破平庸,完成升华成就伟大。理解了圣奥古斯丁就理解了之前和之后基督教世界出现的那些极端的禁欲方式。  相似文献

赵厚勰 《湖北大学成人教育学院学报》2014,(5):56-59

早期的基督教大学并未特别重视职业教育。从1920年代开始,基督教大学逐渐调整办学方向,开始更多地重视职业教育。基督教大学的职业课程较为重视教学内容的先进性、实用性及活动性,并重视开展实践教学。基督教大学的职业教育,为中国社会培养了各类实用人才,同时也推动了中国职业教育的发展。  相似文献   

An Analysis of Factors That Cause Jude’s and Sue’s Tragedies     

潘兰兰 《海外英语》2014,(8):201-202,219

Hardy’s novels are dominated with an atmosphere of fatalism,as may be found in his Jude the Obscure.This paper aims to analyze the character of the hero and the heroine,Jude and Sue,by revealing the contradiction and inconsistency concealed in their desires and deeds.As rebellious as they are,Jude and Sue never escape the confines of conventionalities while confronted with conservative forces.It is not only because of overwhelming power of conservatism but also a tragedy out of their seemingly rebellious compromise.  相似文献   

有情的张爱玲——由胡兰成《评张爱玲》谈起之二     

刘锋杰 《珠海城市职业技术学院学报》2005,11(2):77-85

本文主要探讨的是张爱玲的精神境界。认为胡兰成从宗教视角出发深化了对张爱玲精神境界的认识，而傅雷等人受意识形态束缚限制了对张爱玲精神境界的进一步挖掘。为认识张爱玲的博大的基督精神以及消除以往对她的“自私”的误解提供了一个新的视角。  相似文献   

‘A Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven’: His Dark Materials, Inverted Theology, and the End of Philip Pullman’s Authority     

Jonathan Padley  Kenneth Padley 《Children‘s Literature in Education》2006,37(4):325-334

This article argues that Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials may be read as a series which attempts to assault the Christian doctrine of God. We believe that this demonstrably accords with Pullman’s personal views, and that, through his story, he seeks to foster such views in his readership. However, the accuracy of his attack falls short of its intended mark when it is examined alongside classical Christian theology. The Authority which Pullman’s narrative destroys is actually more akin to the Christian view of the devil than he is the divine, and the victories of Will and Lyra—as a new Adam and Eve—have strong resemblances to the victories which Christianity claims for Christ and Mary. Pullman’s narrative, therefore, becomes an inversion of his deicidal intention rather than an inverting and revolutionary destruction of theology.

《瓦尔登湖》的内蕴与基督教的精神向度     

孙霄 《南京师范大学文学院学报》2013,(1):125-128

“死亡”与“救赎”是基督教文化的核心观念,而梭罗的散文代表作《瓦尔登湖》正表现出了强烈的死亡意识和救赎意识,并由此奠定了《瓦尔登湖》的精神结构与话语系统。对死亡的关注和罪恶的反思,是梭罗的基督教文化精神的充分体现,而其深广与执着的救赎意识更是将这种文化精神推向了极致。  相似文献   

华兹华斯的自然观与基督教精神     

杜彬彬 《台州学院学报》2008,30(5):65-68

华兹华斯的自然观是“神性-理性-人性”的统一,从宗教的角度来讲,他的自然观与其所受的基督教精神有着内在联系。华兹华斯对自然所表达的热爱之情,其背后隐藏的是对上帝的崇拜与热爱,而他在接受自然对他精神抚慰和理性智慧启发的过程中则又传递出了他对上帝信仰的思想,以及他所认为的“人性的完美”在于返回“伊甸园式的自然”的观点,这些都体现了华兹华斯自然观与基督教精神的密切联系。  相似文献
