The Path To Eliminating Oppression: Why Anarchist Thinkers And Intersectional Practitioners Should Work Together, Samantha Montgomery
The Path To Eliminating Oppression: Why Anarchist Thinkers And Intersectional Practitioners Should Work Together, Samantha Montgomery
Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal
In this paper, I examine the similarities between the tenets of anarcha-feminism and the practices of those with intersectional viewpoints. During my research, I interviewed 3 women of color who are leaders in the elimination of oppression in Denver, CO, and learned that having an increased experience with interlocking oppression, as those with multi-marginalized identities do, results in having the expertise to recognize where oppression exists, and, in most cases, developing the empathy to fight against it.

The Role Of Government In Cases Of Faith Based Child Medical Neglect, Megan Jacobson
Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal
In the United States, parental rights have been defined by a strong liberal conception of individual rights, giving parents huge leeway in determining how their children are raised. In this paper, I examine one extreme example of parental rights gone wrong: faith based child medical neglect, a phenomenon that occurs when parents turn to faith healing for their children instead of standard medical care, resulting in the child’s death.

New Towns As Laboratories Of Democracy: Early American And British Experience, Robert A. Barrett
New Towns As Laboratories Of Democracy: Early American And British Experience, Robert A. Barrett
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
New Towns have received attention as significant fields for study of urban systems and urban problems. Their early development in Great Britain and more recent development in the United States is a subject of public and private interest, yet little attention has been directed to their potential for improving the urban democratic process as well as dealing with housing, transportation, employment, planning, recreation, and other urban systems. This paper examines the potential of New Towns with reference to British experiences in improving urban democratic systems.
Utopian Communalism: A Comparison Of 19th And 20th Century Phenomena In The United States, Truman David Wood
Utopian Communalism: A Comparison Of 19th And 20th Century Phenomena In The United States, Truman David Wood
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The utopian communal phenomenon has been present in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The longevity of various religious and secular utopian communal experiments is examined in terms of four organizational factors and the twentieth century communes are considered in terms of four ideals. The main stream of American society has assimilated nothing from these utopian communal experiments.
