Constructing College-Level Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Minors—Moving from Performative to Transformative DEI
Authors: Gibbs Carole , Achebe Nwando , Johnson Brian , Nwaiche Chioma , Velez Ortiz Daniel 
Published: December 2023

In a period of growing support as well as hostility toward, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the United States, we developed two college-level DEI minors. We grounded each minor in critical pedagogy, a broad theoretical and philosophical perspective on the purpose and process of education that encapsulates a variety of practices and methods. The goal was to move beyond performative DEI by collaborating with students to develop the necessary tools to become engaged and self-managed citizens both nationally and globally. As such, we embedded dialogue, self-reflection, diverse knowledge networks and sources, and critical frameworks into the minors, as we sought to balance developing critical awareness with working toward change. In the following paper, we describe these basic elements of critical pedagogy to transformative DEI and link them to the processes of constructing and ultimately delivering the minors. Key examples are provided to demonstrate the implementation of these elements in our work. We conclude with our reflections on how this experience may inform similar efforts.

Establishing Relations with My Ideological Enemy: Polish People’s Republic and the Kingdom of Greece (1948–1974)
Authors: Vlasidis Vlasis 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present and explain the very complex and quite enigmatic economic relations between the Polish People’s Republic and the Kingdom of Greece, which belonged to different political and military blocks during the Cold War. The relationship between the two countries developed as a matter of priority, in contrast to what was happening in Europe at the time, and was not influenced by internal political developments. Although Greece was in a civil war and Poland was supporting the Greek Communists, both countries sought to reestablish diplomatic and commercial relations. In the 1950s, relations between them began to develop, and in the 1960s, they had reached an ultimate level. Poland initially exported capital goods to Greece and then also expanded trade relations by exporting consumer goods too. Poland also imported agricultural products and minerals mainly from Greece and made significant investments in Greece by building many factories there. Even the compensation issue, which was considered intractable, came to an end after brief negotiations for the benefit of both parties. Economic relations remained stable even during the dictatorship in Greece. At the same time, athletic and cultural relations were developed, with Poland taking most of the initiative.

Published: December 2023

In the secret agreements made during the World War I, the South-West Anatolia region was promised to the Italians. After the Armistice of Mudros, Italian occupations began in line with this promise. The Italians, who landed in Antalya on March 28, 1919, set out on a series of expeditions to expand their occupation zone towards Burdur without delay. The Italian officers who came to Burdur for this purpose claimed that they had come here to "make investments", "develop the people" and so on. In fact, as a requirement of the Italian occupation method, they wanted to prevent the national reaction of the people and hide their occupation intentions behind the so-called concepts of "love", "help". They wanted to hide their invasion intentions behind the concepts. While Vasfi and the Mayor of Burdur were under the influence of these propagandas, Burdur Recruitment Region President Miralay İsmail Hakkı, Burdur Mufti, 68th Regiment Commander and some notables from the nobles knew that the real intention of the Italians was “invasion”. However, despite all the opposition, the Italians could not be prevented from officially occupying Burdur on 28 March 1919. After the replacement of the Mutasarrıf (Governor) and the Mayor against the National Struggle, there were very important developments in Burdur in resisting the occupations and in the national organization. In a short time, the Burdur National Committee, which would later be called as one of the Association for Defence of National Rights, was established. Burdur women also showed national sensitivity and established the Burdur Defense of Rights Women’s Association. While there were political organizations in this way in Burdur, aid was given to the front in the west of Denizli, which was struggling against the Greek occupation. Many Burdur volunteers from the center, districts and villages of Burdur rushed to the front and bought a significant amount of food, clothing, etc. in-kind donations. Meanwhile, the Red Crescent Hospital opened in Burdur provided very important services in meeting the health services of the front. All these efforts for the success of the National Struggle were not easy. As in all sides, the opponents of the National Struggle in Burdur were not idle. In addition, banditry activities in the region had a negative impact on the National Struggle. Despite all these difficulties, the people of Burdur did their best to defend the homeland.

Authors: Silva Leonídia Aparecida Pereira da , Carneiro Virginia Teles 
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo objetiva identificar a atuação e as práticas desenvolvidas por psicólogos na assistência estudantil universitária brasileira, considerando a promoção à permanência dos universitários beneficiados por políticas de ações afirmativas. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura em teses e dissertações publicadas no período de 2010 a 2019. Quatro trabalhos foram incluídos e outros 637 excluídos após análise. Utilizou-se a Análise de Conteúdo para a interpretação dos dados. As categorias formadas foram: ações em psicologia clínica e ações em psicologia escolar e educacional. Destaca-se a baixa quantidade de estudos que focalizaram este tema e a prevalência de práticas individualizantes, em especial, voltadas para a Psicologia Clínica e a Psicologia Escolar e Educacional focando nomeadamente nos estudantes, de modo a isentar outros atores sociais envolvidos. A partir de tais resultados, defende-se que o profissional de psicologia que atua na assistência estudantil universitária brasileira, contemple abordagens não apenas individuais aos estudantes, mas também coletivas, entre elas, grupos de apoio, ações em âmbitos institucionais e políticos.

Published: December 2023

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar a relação entre autoestima e satisfação sexual feminina, e outras variáveis relacionadas ao comportamento sexual. Participaram 105 mulheres, com idades entre 18 e 61 anos (M=24,5; DP=6,06), de diferentes orientações sexuais. Os instrumentos utilizados foram Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, Escala de Satisfação Sexual Feminina e Questionário de Sexualidade Feminina. Os resultados indicaram correlações positivas e moderadas entre a autoestima e satisfação sexual. A preocupação pessoal com o sexo foi o principal fator predito pela autoestima. Concluiu-se que quanto maior a autoestima, maior a satisfação sexual feminina. Foi encontrado também que ter relações sexuais com uma mesma pessoa, ainda que sem o status de um relacionamento formal, assim como ter relações sexuais com frequência, estão associados com a satisfação sexual de mulheres. Espera-se fomentar a discussão acerca da sexualidade feminina, indicando a importância da autoestima feminina para experiências sexuais prazerosas.
