Economic Growth And Human Development In South Asia: Experiences Of Selected Countries, Ranjit Singh Ghuman, Amarjit S. Bhullar
Economic Growth And Human Development In South Asia: Experiences Of Selected Countries, Ranjit Singh Ghuman, Amarjit S. Bhullar
Himalayan Policy Research Conference
The very quality and sustainability of growth, eventually, depends on the human development and vice-versa. There is, no doubt, that the causal relationship between growth and human development needs to be viewed in this spectrum. The daunting challenge of poverty and inequality and the human development may not be addressed only with growth, though growth is a pre-requisite to it. The two-pronged policy recommendation would then be to strengthen the redistributive mechanism and empower the people with quality education and health.
Postmodernism In Development Studies: The Last Bastion Of The Noble Savage, Ravi Bhandari
Postmodernism In Development Studies: The Last Bastion Of The Noble Savage, Ravi Bhandari
Himalayan Policy Research Conference
This paper argues that the ideology of neoliberal globalization is the ideology of PM itself, despite its self-proclamations of being critical to the processes of continuing imperialism, expanding capitalism, and neocolonialism. This extended abstract only outlines the argument drawing on a review of current scholarship on Nepal in gender studies and social capital.
Coping Mechanism Among Tribes In India: A Case Study Of Melghat, Nilratan Shende
Coping Mechanism Among Tribes In India: A Case Study Of Melghat, Nilratan Shende
Himalayan Policy Research Conference
This research identifies a series of coping mechanism on which people of Melghat in the state of Maharashtra rely throughout the year. Variation in each of the coping mechanisms is analyzed in light of ownership of resources, access to natural resources, and gender discrimination. The paper takes a sociological approach to relate problems of food security to the prevailing structural social disparities and consequent discrimination.

Conjugal Disputes At The Jewish Court Of 18th Century Altona, Noa Shashar
Conjugal Disputes At The Jewish Court Of 18th Century Altona, Noa Shashar
Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History
Disputes between married couples in 18th century were sometimes brought before the Jewish court ( the Beit-Din). Analysis of protocols of session which dealt with such disputes reveals facts about tensions caused by contemporary family structure and marriage customs as well as about the means which the court applied to enforce policy. The texts presented here are excerpts from one of the protocol books of the Jewish court of Altona. Altona, at the time subject to the Danish King, shared institutions with the neighboring Jewish communities in Hamburg and Wandsbeck, a union which produced several kinds of documents covering a …

Communities Developing In Association With Place: Testament Of Ginebra Blanis, 1574, Stefanie Siegmund
Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History
Recent attention to Jewish demography and to the spatial characteristics of Jewish residential patterns has demonstrated that in more than one region, Early Modern Jews were associated with each other more loosely, and less locally, than has previously been imagined. The "communities" to which Jews may have felt they belonged are difficult to know as they are likely to have varied with economic or social status, gender, age, and ethnic origin. The testament translated below is that of a merchant woman in the first years of the existence of the Florentine ghetto (founded 1571). The study of early modern bequests …

Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
For several years, SIT Graduate Institute worked with the Ford International Fellows Program (IFP) to provide IFP fellows worldwide with training and reflection on their engagement as leaders for social justice. Out of this effort grew a conceptual framework on “leadership for social justice” and a capacity-building resource manual derived from the Leadership for Social Justice (LSJ) Institutes we carried out. Since that time, a few members of the LSJ project team have been undertaking further research on social justice leadership from varied perspectives. In addition, SIT Study Abroad Academic Director Azim Khan is an IFP and LSJ Institute alumnus, …

Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
Though the global situation is complex and daunting, education for sustainable development attempts to empower students with the knowledge, values, and ability not only to understand but also to act upon that understanding so that they might create a world in harmony with the environment. In summer 2009, 19 university students from North America came to Iceland to study renewable energy on the SIT Study Abroad (a program of World Learning) program ―Iceland: Renewable Energy, Technology, and Resource Economics.‖ The students traveled around the country, stayed with host families, underwent intensive coursework, visited power plants and policy firms, and conducted …
The Feminization Of Hiv: Patriarchy As A Threat To Public Health In Ecuador – A Trans-Feminist Perspective, Fabián Espinosa Ma, Academic Director
The Feminization Of Hiv: Patriarchy As A Threat To Public Health In Ecuador – A Trans-Feminist Perspective, Fabián Espinosa Ma, Academic Director
Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
This article attempts to analyze male sexual conduct in Ecuador and its determining role in the feminization of HIV. Male promiscuity, not only tolerated but celebrated by sexist discourse, severely impairs public health initiatives and remains one of the critical issues for both individuals and collectives struggling for structural changes in sexual politics. The exercise of citizenships, sustained by a new constitutional framework, embraces the principle of “subversion from within”, the only significant way of challenging heterosexist imaginaries and practices. This type of activism focuses on the formal and normative political dimension of sex and gender, but also and most …

Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
In 2005, the International Honors Program, a longstanding organization that runs comparative study abroad programs, launched its “Health and Community” (HC) Program. The program is offered to upper-level undergraduates from across the US and from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds. It travels to four countries in one semester and uses lectures, site visits, case study research and homestay experiences to engage students in critical and comparative thinking about health and illness at both the global and community levels. The interdisciplinary curriculum combines the perspectives of political economy, medical anthropology, and public health and each country program focuses learning around …
Social Identity Development: Africans To United States, Claire Halverson Phd, Professor
Social Identity Development: Africans To United States, Claire Halverson Phd, Professor
Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
There are a plethora of racial identity development models based on experiences of racial minorities in the United States which Halverson and Ken Williams use in their Social Identity class. None of these models describe the experience of immigrants and long-term residents of color from Asia, So America, and Africa. Halverson and Williams interviewed 25 Black and Arab Africans who have lived in the United States in order to understand if there is a pattern of identity development for this population that could be replicated in a model. Based on these interviews, they developed a model which they named the …

The Anatomy Of Conflict, Lahcen Haddad Phd, Academic Director
Fostering Multicultural Competence and Global Justice: an SIT Symposium
The need for peace in today’s world has become an existential issue for humanity. Without a sense of shared earth and its resources and a shared humanity governed by universal and local values, the human race seems to be more threatened with a crippling propensity for self-destruction than ever before. Some theories, systems of thought even religious currents like Marxism, fascism, jihadi Islam, crusading Christianity, expansionist Zionism think that conflict is fundamental to History inasmuch as it allows for justification of the self through the use of power. For Marxism, struggle as conflict between classes is the engine that drives …

Expanding Design Space: Design-In-Use Activities And Strategies, Andrea Botero, Kari-Hans Kommonen, Sanna Marttila
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper introduces an analytical framework for understanding the collaborative nature and distributed structure of what is often referred to as design space. We propose that the design space should be conceptualized as the space of possibilities for realizing a design, which extends beyond the concept design stage into the design-in-use activities of people. By locating different activities and mapping participants’ possibilities in a continuum from consumption to active creation, we develop a framework for understanding and locating design research interventions and a tool for mapping design activities. We argue that: 1) a design space is always actively co-constructed and …
Everyday People: Enabling User Expertise In Socially Responsible Design, Christine Caruso, Lois Frankel
Everyday People: Enabling User Expertise In Socially Responsible Design, Christine Caruso, Lois Frankel
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper examines the contemporary relevance of interdisciplinary research practice specifically within the field of design for social need. Examining the complexity of current social problems using the concepts of Rittel & Webber’s wicked problems, this paper looks at the potential for the application of co-design methods within an interdisciplinary framework. By proposing the use of a social model of design, it is argued that it is through co-design methods and the use of generative toolkits such as Liz Sanders’ MakeTools and IDEO’s Human-Centered Design Toolkit that the design process can be enhanced in the early stages. This paper argues …

Influential Elements Of Creativity In Art, Architecture, And Design Creative Processes: A Grounded Theory Analysis, Ahmad Fakhra, Judith Gregory
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Creativity in art, architecture, and design was investigated in this analytical study through the qualitative research methodology of grounded theory. A data set comprising published interviews with eighteen eminent creative artists, architects, designers, and leaders of creative organizations was analyzed to generate an initial grounded theory model for the creative process phenomenon of generating creative insights. Five influential elements to the creative process were identified from the analysis: sources of creativity that yield creative insights; strategies that instigate creativity; influential factors that drive creativity; individual and collaborative modes of working; and characteristic qualities of creative results. The analysis presented is …
Findability Of Commodities By Consumers: Distinguishing Different Packaging Designs, Regina W.Y. Wang, Mu-Chien Chou
Findability Of Commodities By Consumers: Distinguishing Different Packaging Designs, Regina W.Y. Wang, Mu-Chien Chou
DRS Biennial Conference Series
What package design features can help consumers find commodities faster? This study assumes that the factors in distinguishing different packaging designs of commodities differ due to consumers’ different personal experiences. Thus, this paper studies the findability of commodities by consumers through distinct packaging designs. It consists mainly of two stages: (a) the first stage reviews the existing literature to determine the application of different package designs; (b) the second stage is a focus group interview designed to investigate the factors influencing consumers in distinguishing different package designs. In the investigation process, (i) samples of package bottles for testing were collected …
The Success Of Designer-Producers In Québec, André Desrosiers
The Success Of Designer-Producers In Québec, André Desrosiers
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The author identified more than 120 designer owned manufacturing companies in Québec. He interviewed 50 designers who owned such companies, and obtained detailed information on more than 75 companies. He examined these companies for: area of activity, size, longevity and economic impact. The companies are highly concentrated in the area of lifestyle products and are of comparable size to other manufacturing companies, show similar revenue per employee and have similar economic impact. They are also much more successful than other Québec manufacturers as far as longevity is concerned. These designer-owned companies create more direct employment than do industrial design consulting …
