The Ecological Life: Discovering Citizenship And A Sense Of Humanity, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer

Faculty Scholarship

Written as a series of lectures, The Ecological Life offers a humanistic perspective on environmental philosophy that challenges some of the dogmas of deep ecology and radical environmentalism while speaking for their best desires. The book argues that being human-centered leaves us open to ecological identifications, rather than the opposite. Bendik-Keymer draws on analytic and continental traditions of philosophy as well as literature and visual media. He argues for a sense of ecological justice consonant with human rights, and shows how humanistic thinking is committed to deepening respect for life and our ecological orientation. In a clear, jargon-free and conversational …

Strategies For Bridging The Gender Gap In Technology Use : From Education To The Workplace, Martha Frazier

The implementation of diversity training, mentoring, and role modeling are just …

Religious Participation And Children's Education : A Social Capital Approach, Chengze, Simon Fan

Centre for Public Policy Studies : CPPS Working Paper Series

Based on the argument in both economic and sociological literature that religion is conducive to their children's human capital formation, this paper provides a model of religious participation and explores a mechanism that “social capital" affects children's education, a la Coleman (1988). The model generates several interesting implications, which help explain some important stylized facts about education and religion. Further, in a dynamic setting, the model shows that there exists a steady state, in which individuals allocate a positive amount of time and resources to religious activities. Thus, it complements the existing literature 'to explain why seemingly unproductive religions can …

Traducción Y Herencia, Jose M. Davila-Montes

Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

Salvo que la ensefianza de lenguas extranjeras en el sistema escolar estadounidense cambie de forma radical ( cosa que no parece previsible en los pr6ximos afios ), es razonable pensar que el estudiante prototipico de traducci6n entre las lenguas inglesa y espafiola en este pais sea, por abrumadora superioridad estadistica, el denominado heritage student. Nos referimos con esto a las segundas generaciones de inmigrantes hispanohablantes que, segun adquieren acceso a la educaci6n universitaria, proporcionan una de las pocas oportunidades para que la ensefianza de la traducci6n tenga lugar en un estadio anterior al ciclo de postgrado ( que es donde …

Free To Be: Supporting Lesbian, Gay, And Bisexual Students On Catholic Campuses, Jessica B. Buckley

Faculty Scholarship

There is a long history of tension between the authority of the Vatican and the relative autonomy of Roman Catholic institutions of higher education, particularly in the United States of America. These tensions currently arise on Catholic campuses where student affairs practitioners seek to support lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) students while at the same time operating within Vatican teaching that homosexuality is objectively disordered (Ratzinger, 1986). This paper will review those Catholic teachings on homosexuality and explore policies and practices of student affairs practitioners seeking to serve LGB students at Catholic higher education institutions.
