    The Management of Privacy Boundaries for People with Visible Disabilities
    (2014) McAloon, Erin P.; Bute, Jennifer; Parrish-Sprowl, John; Goering, Elizabeth M.
    People who have disabilities that are visible often manage the boundaries around private information regarding their disability (Braithwaite, 1991) because the choice becomes how much should be revealed. The purpose of this study is to use Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory to explore the way people who have a visible disability manage privacy boundaries in communicative interactions and also the way the boundaries around private information are managed over time. The study was conducted through in-depth interviews with seven individuals who have a visible disability about their experiences in managing private information. The individuals described experiences both among other people with a visible disability and with people do not have a disability. Results from a thematic analysis revealed the presence of five main themes and several sub-themes.

    (Springer, 2021-11) McCarthy, Katherine M.; School of Social Work
    This chapter explores the intentional use of transparency while teaching an online Master of Social Work (MSW) course during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. First the author recognizes how the unfolding crisis necessitated altered boundaries between herself and her students. Then the author presents four ways she used transparency to help students stay engaged and involved in the course, including changing expectations, expressing feelings, prioritizing safety and well-being, and requesting help. Finally, the author reflects upon how these Spring 2020 adjustments will inform her future pedagogy.
