Study Notes on Empowerment Theory & Models of Empowerment (Part I)
My personal notes on "Empowerment Theory," (Critical Social Work), focusing on the scholarly work of Elisheva Sadan, "Empowerment and Community Planning." Please cite Sadan's work using full citation, see http://www.mpow.org/ ....this literature was instrumental in my latest published work on youth empowerment and the empowerment of "institutional agents."
Study Notes on Empowerment Theory & Models of Empowerment (Part II)
My conceptual and analytical notes I developed while I was explored the various literatures on “individual empowerment,” and gradually constructed a framework that would permit me to articulate how youth and student advocates, as “institutional agents,” must themselves become “empowered” along various dimensions. Such self-empowerment enables and facilitates the “empowerment” of those young people they are devoted to. These notes, and the framework I crafted, eventually led to my published piece on empowerment agents, ….”A Social Capital Framework for the Study of Institutional Agents and Their Role in the Empowerment of Low-Status Students and Youth.” 2011. Youth & Society.

Dissertation Description: “The purpose of this study is to empirically ground Stanton-Salazar’s (2010) theoretical trope of the empowerment agent through a life history study of subjects identified as empowerment agents. “Empowerment agents" leverage their social capital network to offer institutional support to low-status students while helping the students clarify and construct an action-oriented, social justice-centered, critically conscious worldview.”
Stanton-Salazar THEMATIC DISSERTATION RESEARCH PROJECT
