Women in American society experience high levels of stress and the resultant physical and psychological challenges. While leisure is often seen as a context for stress relief, a variety of leisure constraints make it difficult for many women to have this experience. A focus group was conducted with five women who are mothers of young children to explore the division of labor in family travel. This paper reports on the experience of participant empowerment, which occurred through the dialogue that took place. Findings from this study have implications for those seeking to empower people who experience discrimination and marginalization in a variety of settings. We explore the value of creating safe spaces and facilitating dialogue as a means of mitigating against alienation, enhancing community building, and creating solidarity.Collections

The Hegelian Family: An Analysis of the Nuclear Family Structure under the Capitalist GazeMy senior project is an analysis of Hegel's work in The Philosophy of Right particularly his family section that details familial roles, gender roles, and expectations of each individual within civil society. I argue that the Hegelian family structure is not ubiquitous under the political and economic schema of civil society. Through Marx's "Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right" and "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts", I challenge Hegel's idealism and lack of reality in his formation of the role of the family in society. Hegel neglects to acknowledge his ideal family structure is designed for the benefit of the bourgeoise family and neglects the other groups of people in society. This family structure aids in the distinction of class disparities when only the bourgeoise class will be the only participants within civil society that can contribute financially to the growth and expansion of the state.

Mutations in the CYLD gene in Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, familial cylindromatosis, and multiple familial trichoepithelioma: lack of genotype-phenotype correlation.Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS), familial cylindromatosis (FC), and multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT), originally described as distinct entities, share overlapping clinical findings. Patients with BSS are predisposed to multiple skin appendage tumors such as cylindroma, trichoepithelioma, and spiradenoma. FC, however, is characterized by cylindromas and MFT by trichoepitheliomas as the only tumor type. These disorders have recently been associated with mutations in the CYLD gene. In this report, we describe three families with BSS, one with FC, and two with MFT phenotypes associated with novel and recurrent mutations in CYLD. We provide evidence that these disorders represent phenotypic variation of a single entity and lack genotype-phenotype correlation.
