Item Book Review: Brené Brown, B. (2004). Women & shame: Reaching out, speaking truths & building connection. Austin, TX: 3C Press.(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2005) Russell, AmyDr. Brené Brown presents Women & Shame, a painful and universal topic for women and anyone who loves women, in a very enlightening, edifying, and intriguing style. She gracefully makes a gender-specific concern a matter of growth and empowerment. I have not been as excited about a book in some time, evidenced through my purchasing multiple copies for Christmas gifts for female family members. Dr. Brown presents the tenets of shame so honestly that the reader not only cries tears of release and discovery, but also laughs out loud; Dr. Brown’s insights and interpretations originating from the interviews are bittersweet and poignant. This book is critical for women, a must-read, testament to our university and Social Work program. Dr. Brown speaks to those of us who are PhD students by revealing that research can be many things and does not have to be dry and difficult. Women & Shame covers vital issues relevant to the shame continuum in three areas: research methods, content, and impact.Item Counterpoint(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2005) Russell, AmyAmy Russell's counterpoint to Howard Karger's "Reforming the Dissertation Process".Item Doctoral Research Assistants Panel: Discussion and Recommendations(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2005) Russell, Amy; Vohra-Gupta, ShetalThis is a discussion about the experiences of doctoral students at the University of Houston's Graduate School of Social Work.Item Editorial from Perspectives on Social Work Volume 3 (Fall 2005)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2005) Russell, Amy; Kindle, Peter A.Editorial for volume 3 of Perspectives on Social Work, by journal editors Amy Russell (LMSW) & Peter Kindle (MA, MDiv)Item Editorial from Perspectives on Social Work Volume 4 (Fall 2006)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2006) Russell, AmyEditorial for volume 4 of Perspectives on Social Work, by journal editor Amy Russell, LMSWItem EDITORIAL FROM PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL WORK VOLUME 4 (Spring 2006)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2006) Russell, AmyEditorial for volume 4 of Perspectives on Social Work, by journal editor Kenya R.

Such a purpose is evident in Texas’ Bill of Rights: “the general, great and essential principles of liberty and free government may be recognized and established”, the grounding for equality under the law (Texas Constitution, 1876, p.1). With this equality legally founded, many states are scurrying to arrest any chance that this equality extends to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community through defense of marriage acts and constitutional amendments. When did this threatening rash of homosexual marriage occur to warrant such precautionary measures? Even if a separate, lesser form of marriage were provided for under such equality clauses, i.e., civil unions, there would be an insignificant rise in such from the gay community. If every self-identified homosexual sought civil unions to formalize and protect domestic partnerships, only 1.0 to 1.5 percent of the population would be rushing to the courthouse (Hertzog, 1996).
