“To Get A Foot In The Door”: New Host Country Educated Immigrant Teachers’ Perceptions Of Their Employability In Finland, Kaisa Hahl, Heini Paavola Jan 2015

“To Get A Foot In The Door”: New Host Country Educated Immigrant Teachers’ Perceptions Of Their Employability In Finland, Kaisa Hahl, Heini Paavola

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

This article sets out to find factors that promote or hinder employment opportunities for immigrant teachers educated in the host country. The data were collected through online questionnaires and focus group discussions among two student cohorts. After a year of graduating from English-medium teacher education in Finland, the employment situations ranged from full-time permanent teaching posts in Finland to unemployment. Although the majority was successful in securing at least some work, no one was teaching in mainstream classrooms in a Finnish-medium school. The scope of teaching qualifications and references from substitutions were considered factors for employment. Lacking “strong enough” Finnish …


Re-Animating The Thylacine: Narratives Of Extinction In Tasmanian Cinema, Guinevere Narraway, Hannah Stark Jan 2015

Re-Animating The Thylacine: Narratives Of Extinction In Tasmanian Cinema, Guinevere Narraway, Hannah Stark

Animal Studies Journal

The thylacine looms large in Tasmanian culture. The animal’s image is everywhere, present on everything from beer labels to licence plates. The documentary footage of the last thylacine in Hobart Zoo has come to exemplify, among other things, the tragedy of species loss and humanity’s violence against the nonhuman. This footage features at the beginning of both The Hunter and Dying Breed – two of the very small number of films that constitute a notional Tasmanian cinema. In contrast to the meanings suggested by the documentary images of the last thylacine however, the fictional Tasmanian tiger in these films becomes …

Defining A Country's "Fair Share" Of Taxes, Adam H. Rosenzweig Jan 2015

Defining A Country's "Fair Share" Of Taxes, Adam H. Rosenzweig

Florida State University Law Review

The international tax regime is facing a defining moment. As stories of multinational companies expatriating and shifting income around the world with seeming impunity continue to emerge, the question of how to divide the international tax base among the countries of the world increasingly draws attention from policy-makers and academics. To date, however, the debate has tended to devolve into one over the two traditional tools used to divide worldwide tax base—transfer pricing and formulary apportionment. This Article demonstrates that such focus is misplaced on the instruments of dividing the worldwide tax base rather than on first principles. Instead, this …

Identifying Key Elements Of Social Care Practice In Successful Care Settings For Older People In Ireland: Steps Towards 'Wise' Social Care, Carmel M. Gallagher Dr, Ricca Edmondson Prof. Jan 2015

Identifying Key Elements Of Social Care Practice In Successful Care Settings For Older People In Ireland: Steps Towards 'Wise' Social Care, Carmel M. Gallagher Dr, Ricca Edmondson Prof.

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

This article examines wise social care practices in two elder care settings in Ireland, a day centre in Dublin and a nursing home in the West of Ireland. Based on interviews with staff and service-users as well as close observations of interactions in each setting, the paper describes social care practices which have empowering and enabling effects. These practices are explored in the light of understandings of practical wisdom and in the context of connectedness to surrounding communities. The article describes multi-dimensional and authentic relationships which extend beyond the centres themselves and represent a blend of affective, cognitive and ethical …


The Role Of The Humanities In Rural Community Development, Sheila Jans Jan 2015

The Role Of The Humanities In Rural Community Development, Sheila Jans

Maine Policy Review

Maine’s rural communities are facing some serious economic and social challenges. Sheila Jans explores the crucial role that the humanities play in tackling some of these challenges. The humanities provide a powerful and nimble way to generate ideas and solve problems. Examples of humanities-based initiatives and experiences in the St. John Valley at the northernmost point of Maine, bordering Canada, provide insight into the role of the humanities as a tool for development.

Uefa Financial Fairplay Regulations And European Union Antitrust Law Complications, Valerie Kaplan Jan 2015

Uefa Financial Fairplay Regulations And European Union Antitrust Law Complications, Valerie Kaplan

Emory International Law Review

Financial struggles among European football clubs were far too common in the last decade. Mismanagement and overspending in the Rangers FC forced the club to go into administration and ultimately liquidate in 2012. The Rangers consistently spent more on players than the club's payroll could afford. The Union of European Football Associations observed the problem and approved Financial Fair Play Regulations (FFP) to fix these financial issues. FFP intends to introduce rationality and stabilize the financial environment of European club football. The structure of FFP makes the regulation illegal under the European Union's competition law. The predicted effect of FFP …


The Microtonal Guitars Of Harry Partch, John Schneider Jan 2015

The Microtonal Guitars Of Harry Partch, John Schneider

Soundboard Scholar

Known as an "American Maverick," Harry Partch (1901–1974) was surely one of the United States's most colorful composers. His dissatisfaction with the scales and instruments of Western music inspired him to design and build an orchestra of over two dozen handcrafted "microtonal" instruments that were tuned to his notorious "monophonic" scale of forty-three tones per octave. Between 1934 and 1952, Partch created four different adapted guitars, using them in fifteen compositions ranging from solo song cycles (Barstow, December 1942, U.S. Highball, Three Intrusions) to chamber music, dances, and four of his five major …


Torpedoing A Transaction: Economic Substance Versus Other Tax Doctrines And The Application Of The Strict Liability Penalty, Thomas C. Vanik Jr. Jan 2015

Torpedoing A Transaction: Economic Substance Versus Other Tax Doctrines And The Application Of The Strict Liability Penalty, Thomas C. Vanik Jr.

Cleveland State Law Review

Transactions designed to intentionally reduce one’s taxes often attract suspicion and become the subject of judicial review. To evaluate suspicious transactions, courts have developed special common-law doctrines that impose additional requirements beyond those in the Internal Revenue Code. These doctrines could be considered standard methods of fact finding or legal interpretation, yet they have taken on their own identity within court analyses with varying interpretations and applications. An examination of cases demonstrates significant overlap in the doctrines and exemplifies how the application of the doctrines adds confusion and uncertainty to tax law. Compounding on this uncertainty is the codification of …

Vulnerability In The City: Reading Healing Narratives In East Asian Animal Films, Fiona Y.W. Law Jan 2015

Vulnerability In The City: Reading Healing Narratives In East Asian Animal Films, Fiona Y.W. Law

Animal Studies Journal

Narratives of mourning and healing have become a popular discourse in films about animalhuman relationships set in the contemporary East Asian urban milieu. From the mainstream to the arthouse, from micro films to personal documentaries, images of the dying pet have triggered poignant revelations about human existence. While most of these films focus on the process of how the human protagonists come to the enlightening moment of self-understanding through the grieving experience, the deaths of their animal companions are often the imperative origins of such self-making. Interestingly, the cause of these animals’ loss is either evaded by or mirrored through …

Ties That Bind? The Questionable Consent Justification For Hosanna-Tabor, Jessie Hill Jan 2015

Ties That Bind? The Questionable Consent Justification For Hosanna-Tabor, Jessie Hill

Northwestern University Law Review

Arguments in favor of religious sovereignty often emphasize the benefits of autonomy for religious institutions while ignoring the civil rights of individuals who belong to or work for those institutions. To justify intrusions on individual civil rights, proponents of strong religious autonomy generally rely on the concept of implied consent. According to this rationale, individuals willingly give up the protection of civil rights laws when they voluntarily join religious organizations. This Essay responds to one scholar’s account of the consent rationale as undergirding the Supreme Court’s recognition of the ministerial exception: Christopher Lund’s excellent article, Free Exercise Reconceived: The Logic …


Playing Cowboys And Iranians: Selective Colorblindness And The Legal Construction Of White Geographies, John Tehranian Jan 2015

Playing Cowboys And Iranians: Selective Colorblindness And The Legal Construction Of White Geographies, John Tehranian

University of Colorado Law Review

This Article examines the selective invocation of colorblindness in legal and political discourse and argues that the trope has served as a powerful vehicle for the creation, perpetuation, and patrolling of white geographiesspaces characterized by an implicit hierarchy privileging white racial identity. After assessing the new rhetoric of race in the Age of Obama, the Article focuses on identifying and deconstructing the modern paradox of colorblindness jurisprudence. On the one hand, the courts have increasingly hewed to a colorblind vision of the Constitution when weighing the permissibility of race-based admissions and hiring programs for traditionally disadvantaged minorities. And, yet, on …
