Selling Canada To Canadians: Collective Memory, National Identity, And Popular Culture, Emily West
Selling Canada To Canadians: Collective Memory, National Identity, And Popular Culture, Emily West
Emily E. West
Two media endeavours, the Heritage Minutes and the CBC documentary Canada: A People’s History, hope to serve as a corrective to Canadians’ lack of interest in their history and to bolster national identity. However, the producers do not want to appear propagandistic in a country where there is conflict about what the shape of the nation should be. They accomplish this by appealing to the “on the spot” authority of journalistic representation and the emotional immediacy of dramatic story-telling. They also emphasize the multi-cultural and multi-perspectival nature of Canada’s past. However, ultimately these efforts exist within a larger narrative about …

Gifts For The Soul: A Guided Journey Of Discovery, Transformation, And Infinite Possibilities (Book Author, Dawn E. Clark; Book Reviewer, Carroy Ferguson)), Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
Dawn E. Clark's Gifts for the Soul is an intriguing self-help book, full of promise and hope for a new way to engage in self-healing and what the author calls soul healing through soul retrieval work. According to the author, the ancient healing tradition of soul retrieval to heal soul loss has been documented by many cultural anthropologists. The tradition apparently has been traced to a belief in the ancient concept of soul loss, embraced by many civilizations and diverse cultures in North America, Australia, Asia, South America and the shaman tradition as far back as 10,000 years ago. Soul …

Active Cultures: Here Come The Hacktivists, Eben English
Eben English
For some, the word "hacker" might conjure visions of a four-eyes, pocket-protected malcontent. But nowadays there's a new breed of hacker, one bent on using his powers for good instead of evil: the hacktivist.

La Satisfacción En El Trabajo De Académicos De Una Universidad Pública Estatal, Jesús F. Galaz-Fontes
La Satisfacción En El Trabajo De Académicos De Una Universidad Pública Estatal, Jesús F. Galaz-Fontes
Jesús Francisco Galaz Fontes
A partir de una encuesta realizada a académicos en una universidad pública estatal, se midieron los niveles de satisfacción global y específica en el trabajo de los de tiempo completo que la contestaron. La satisfacción global en el trabajo fue alta, lo misma que la relativa a la docencia y autonomía individual. En contraste, los niveles de satisfacción fueron inferiores y bajos cuando se consideraron las actividades de investigación, desarrollo profesional, la participación de los académicos en la toma de decisiones académicas y aspectos contextuales al trabajo como evaluación, supervisión y salario. Al desagregar los datos por tipo de unidad …

Mercados De Trabajo En La Ciencia, Manuel Fernández-Esquinas
Manuel Fernández-Esquinas
El mercado de trabajo en las instituciones científicas, además de ser un proceso de compra-venta de fuerza de trabajo, es el ámbito en el que se produce la intersección entre los principios de funcionamiento de la ciencia contemporánea y los procedimientos de trabajo de los grupos y las organizaciones científicas, entre las capacidades y actitudes de los trabajadores y los criterios empleados para adaptarlos a los procesos del trabajo de investigación. Por ello, el mercado de trabajo constituye un elemento privilegiado para observar el funcionamiento de la investigación científica en sus diversos marcos organizativos y es un factor clave en …
Of Information Highways And Toxic Byways: Women And Environmental Protest In A Northern Mexican City, Anna O. Oleary
Of Information Highways And Toxic Byways: Women And Environmental Protest In A Northern Mexican City, Anna O. Oleary
Anna Ochoa OLeary
This case study of community protest in Hermosillo, a Mexican city in the state of Sonora, outlines s a postmodern model of environmental protest as one that primarily carried out by women and social networking. The model of community highlights the use of social networks as a means of politicizing a toxic waste dump eight kilometers outside the city. A feminist perspective reveals a struggle primarily carried out by women and bears out the intersection of gender, environmentalism, and globalization. As familiar spaces of social interaction, social networks provided the cultural platform from which women agitated for the dump’s closure. …

Who Joined The Clandestine Political Organization? Some Preliminary Evidence From The Overseas Taiwan Independence Movement, Weider Shu
Weider Shu
The focus of this paper is the political activism of the activists affiliated with overseas Taiwan Independence Movement (TIM), especially those residing in the United States. Based upon the in-depth interview with fourteen TIM activists and two other published data sets about the demographical characteristics of TIM activists, this essay deals with a very fundamental aspect of activism in the clandestine political organizations: what is the social composition of these activists. Two approaches can be seen as direct approaches of political activism in the social movement literature: marginality thesis and privilege thesis. On the one hand, proponents of marginality thesis …

Creadores De Democracia Radical. Movimientos Sociales Y Redes De Políticas Públicas., Salvador Marti I Puig, Pedro Ibarra, Ricard Goma
Salvador Marti i Puig
Este libro pretende reflexionar sobre el impacto de cuatro movimientos sociales y sus respectivos campos de políticas públicas. Los movimientos considerados son el de solidaridad internacional, el antimilitarista, el antirracista y el de okupación. Sus impactos se analizan sobre las políticas de cooperación al desarrollo, el servicio militar, las políticas de extranjería e inmigración, y las políticas de vivienda y de juventud. Los ámbitos territoriales considerados son Cataluña el País Vasco, aunque las referencias al conjunto del Estado español son a menudo ineludibles. Creadores de democracia radical es una apuesta por perspectivas de trabajo innovadoras. Por un lado, poner en …
Beat Patrol Deployment In Hong Kong, Kam C. Wong
Beat Patrol Deployment In Hong Kong, Kam C. Wong
Kam C. Wong
On March 14, 2001 a young Hong Kong Police (HKP) Constable (PC) Leung Shing-yan was shot and killed in the line of duty. The incident aroused a fierce public debate as to whether HKP should adopt a one-officer (single beat or SB) vs. two-officers (double beat or DB) patrol deployment policy. This article addresses critical policy issues raised in the SB vs. DB debate. How should such a policy debate be resolved? What are the pros and cons of both patrol deployment measures？More importantly, what immediate and effective remedial steps can be taken to secure the front line police officers’ …

Welfare Reform: What About The Children?, Brenda J. Lohman, P. Lindsay Chase-Lansdale, Rebekah Levine Coley, Laura D. Pittman
Brenda J Lohman
Within a sample of 1,885 low-income children and their families, preschoolers and adolescents show patterns of cognitive achievement and problem behavior that should be of concern to policy-makers. The preschoolers and adolescents in our sample are more developmentally at risk compared to middleclass children in national samples. In addition, adolescents whose mothers were on welfare in 1999 have lower levels of cognitive achievement and higher levels of behavioral and emotional problems than do adolescents whose mothers had left welfare, or whose mothers had never been on welfare. For preschoolers, mothers’ current or recent welfare participation is linked with poor cognitive …

The Place Of The Oromo Diaspora In The Oromo National Movement: Lessons From The Agency Of The "Old" African Diaspora In The United States, Asafa Jalata
Asafa Jalata
Just as European and African slave traders merchandised Africans and created the old African diaspora, successive colonial and authoritarian regimes2 of Ethiopia forced some Oromos out of their homeland, Oromia, and caused them to settle in the West. The displaced Oromo entered the United States as one of the "new" African diaspora groups four centuries after the old African diaspora began to be created. In the process, the Oromo diaspora emerged on the world stage. Whereas the old African diaspora lived under racial slavery and segregation for almost three centuries, the new African diaspora communities such as the Oromo came …
Learning And Living Difference That Makes A Difference: Postmodern Theory & Multicultural Education, Walter R. Jacobs
Learning And Living Difference That Makes A Difference: Postmodern Theory & Multicultural Education, Walter R. Jacobs
Walter R. Jacobs
The application of postmodern theory to a transformative understanding of multiculturalism can make a difference. Multicentered culture, antiessentialist race consciousness, and political equity—aspects of a transformative multiculturalism put forward in 1996 by Newfield and Gordon—can be juxtaposed with elements of a postmodern theorization of society as a consumer-driven economy saturated with multiple mediated unstable, fragmented, and evolving discourses and cultural interaction. This theoretical construct can be illustrated with research data from college classrooms and specifically an analysis of the television show The X-Files. This analysis shows how a discussion of whiteness creates larger discussion of transformative multiculturalism in which difference …
Using Lower-Division Developmental Education Students As Teaching Assistants, Walter R. Jacobs
Using Lower-Division Developmental Education Students As Teaching Assistants, Walter R. Jacobs
Walter R. Jacobs
There has been little research on the experiences of undergraduate teaching assistants, and this small body of information is usually tightly focused on traditional disciplinary concerns like sociology, psychology, and communications. Additionally, undergraduate teaching assistant research tends to focus on upper-division students. This article explores the benefits and drawbacks of using lower-division developmental education students as teaching assistants in developmental social science courses. Included are comments from students enrolled in a course staffed by a sophomore as the teaching assistant. Employing developmental education students as teaching assistants can be beneficial to instructors, students, and the teaching assistants themselves.
