Inside School Administration In Nunavut: Four Women’S Stories, Caroline Joan Thompson
Inside School Administration In Nunavut: Four Women’S Stories, Caroline Joan Thompson
Digitized Theses
Educationaladministrationisadisciplinethatinvitesamultiplicityofperspectives. This study explores the careers of Inuit women who have been educational leaders in Nunavut schools for a number of years. It examines what it is like for them to be school administrators in the Canadian Arctic. The questions investigated include: How do Inuit women principals understand their role? What forces have shaped the way Inuit women see themselves as leaders in educational settings? Are the perceptions of the participants consistent with the paradigm of administration in Nunavut schools expressed by the Nunavut Department of Education and the Educational Leadership Program that is required for principal certification? What changes …
The Failure Of Title Vii As A Rights-Claiming System, Deborah L. Brake, Joanna L. Grossman
The Failure Of Title Vii As A Rights-Claiming System, Deborah L. Brake, Joanna L. Grossman
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
This Article takes a comprehensive look at the failure of Title VII as a system for claiming nondiscrimination rights. The Supreme Court's recent decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, 127 S. Ct. 2162 (2007), requiring an employee to assert a Title VII pay discrimination claim within 180 days of when the discriminatory pay decision was first made, marks the tip of the iceberg in this flawed system. In the past decade, Title VII doctrines at both ends of the rights-claiming process have become increasing hostile to employees. At the front end, Title VII imposes strict requirements …
The Work-Family Conflict: An Essay On Employers, Men And Responsibility, Michael Selmi
The Work-Family Conflict: An Essay On Employers, Men And Responsibility, Michael Selmi
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
This paper, prepared for a symposium held at the University of St. Thomas Law School, explores an issue that has been largely neglected in the work-family debate, namely why the burden should be on employers to change their practices rather than on men to change theirs. Many of the policy proposals designed to facilitate the balancing of work and family demands require employers to alter their practices by creating part-time work, providing paid leave, or devising ways to limit the penalties women face for taking extended leave. At the same time, the reluctance of men to change their behavior, which …
When Obscenity Discriminates, Elizabeth M. Glazer
When Obscenity Discriminates, Elizabeth M. Glazer
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
When public indecency statutes outlaw gender nonconformity, obscenity discriminates; when movie ratings censor representations of sexual minorities, obscenity discriminates, and discriminates on the basis of their status as sexual minorities. This Article addresses obscenity doctrine's infliction of first generation, or status discrimination against sexual minorities by conflating "sex" - and the prurient representation of sex that constitutes obscenity - and "sexual orientation." Civil rights lawyers and scholars have turned their attentions away from "first generation" discrimination," where groups experience discrimination on the basis of their status, and toward "second generation" discrimination, where groups experience discrimination for failing to downplay or …

Thinking The Digital Corporeally: Toward A Haptic Styling Of Embodied Encounter, Adrian Scott Sinclair
Thinking The Digital Corporeally: Toward A Haptic Styling Of Embodied Encounter, Adrian Scott Sinclair
Digitized Theses
This thesis describes the lived-experience of digital embodiment. Writing against representational and semiotic accounts of cyber-bodies, I use Merleau-Ponty’s notion of the phenomenal body to describe the inter-corporeal quality of being digitally embodied. I suggest that the avatar is primarily a haptic image rather than being a visual representation of its user. A haptic image is a reflection of my comportment that forms the basis for my inter-acting senses “touching” each other to form a continuous experience rather than a felt-mixture of different sensations. I conclude that digital embodiment is actually rather fleshy. This conclusion returns me to an investigation …

Fighting Women: The Military, Sex, And Extrajudicial Constitutional Change, Jill Elaine Hasday
Fighting Women: The Military, Sex, And Extrajudicial Constitutional Change, Jill Elaine Hasday
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The Supreme Court in Rostker v. Goldberg (1981) upheld male-only military registration, and endorsed male-only conscription and combat positions. Few cases have challenged restrictions on women's military service since Rostker, and none have reached the Supreme Court. Federal statutes continue to exclude women from military registration and draft eligibility, and military regulations still ban women from some combat positions. Yet many aspects of women's legal status in the military have changed in striking respects over the past quarter century while academic attention has focused elsewhere. Congress has eliminated statutory combat exclusions, the military has opened many combat positions to women, …
Rural Families And Work-Family Issues, Lisa Pruitt
Rural Families And Work-Family Issues, Lisa Pruitt
Lisa R Pruitt
This essay, an entry for the on-line Sloan Work and Family Encyclopedia, provides an overview of work-family challenges in the context of rural America. Among the issues addressed are lack of economic diversification and opportunity; deficits in human capital; the dearth of childcare, transportation and other services that facilitate employment; and the deeply entrenched character of gender roles in rural societies. The entry discusses not only concerns related to rural socioeconomic disadvantage, but also those arising from the distances that separate rural residents from work, educational opportunities, and services. The essay notes that rural families are sometimes disserved by policies …
Justice Kennedy's Gendered World, David S. Cohen
Justice Kennedy's Gendered World, David S. Cohen
David S Cohen
As part of the South Carolina Law Review's symposium on the Roberts Court and Equal Protection, this essay looks at Justice Kennedy's sex discrimination jurisprudence. With the new Court, it's natural to be concerned with how the two new Justices might vote in upcoming sex discrimination cases. However, in this essay, I assume what has been the case so far from Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito - that they are reliable votes joining Justices Scalia and Thomas on the Court's more conservative wing. The Justice most people should focus on now is Justice Kennedy, the new median Justice now …
A Community Of Sentiment: Indo-Fijian Music And Identity Discourse In Fiji And Its Diaspora, Kevin C. Miller
A Community Of Sentiment: Indo-Fijian Music And Identity Discourse In Fiji And Its Diaspora, Kevin C. Miller
Kevin C. Miller
Through an historical and ethnographic account of Indo-Fijian music and related cultural practices, this dissertation examines the co-implicative relationship between music making and collective identity formation. Indo-Fijians, who compose about 37 percent of Fiji’s current population, descend primarily from colonial-era Indian laborers. Specifically, I interpret discourses about music and discourses of music to query three broad intersections of musical performance and “community”: 1) the “subethnic,” in which the heterogeneous “Indo-Fijian community” negotiates internal difference; 2) the national, in which fraught social and political relationships between Indo-Fijians and indigenous Fijians—the majority population—inhibit their co-authoring of the nationstate; and 3) the transnational, …
Not Just A Business Transaction: The Logic And Limits Of Grandparental Childcare Assistance In Taiwan, Shirley Hsiao-Li Sun
Not Just A Business Transaction: The Logic And Limits Of Grandparental Childcare Assistance In Taiwan, Shirley Hsiao-Li Sun
Shirley SUN
How does the presence of grandparents in the household impact the gendered division of childcare responsibilities between spouses? How does it compare with market-based care? Drawing on in-depth interview data, this study finds that Taiwanese grandparents treat childcare assistance as their moral responsibility. Mothers express more appreciation for assistance from their own mothers than their mothers-in-law. Fathers appreciate the role of both their parents and their in-laws. The analysis suggests that the character of intergenerational relations is one of the factors mediating the degree to which married women's entrnace into the paid labour force results in the perceived childcare deficit.
Widow's Pension And Gender Equality: Runkee V. United Kingdom, Mel Cousins
Widow's Pension And Gender Equality: Runkee V. United Kingdom, Mel Cousins
Mel Cousins
The long litigation saga involving the compatibility of UK legislation on survivors’ benefits appears to have come to a (not particularly glorious) end with the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) decision in Runkee and White v United Kingdom. This case involved a challenge to the compatibility of national law on the payment of widows’ pensions solely to women, similar to that considered by the House of Lords in Hooper and the ECtHR came to a similar conclusion holding that UK law was not incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.
