Murder And Machismo: Behind The Motivations Of Salvadoran Women Asylum Seekers, Victoria Colbert
Murder And Machismo: Behind The Motivations Of Salvadoran Women Asylum Seekers, Victoria Colbert
Master's Theses
This thesis aims to draw connections between a culture of machismo, an ideological gender belief distinct to Latin America with heavy traces of patriarchy and misogyny, and the motivations of Salvadoran women seeking asylum in the United States. I develop these connections by first reviewing the literature on structural violence, the form of violence wherein the structure or social institution prevents certain demographics of people from meeting their basic needs and living their optimal lives (Galtung, 1969). I repeatedly use structural violence and its functions to parallel the operations of patriarchy and machismo to suggest that violence against women (VAW) …
Survival Migration & The Need For Just Policies And Front-Line Leadership In Climate Change And Migration, Nik Evasco
Survival Migration & The Need For Just Policies And Front-Line Leadership In Climate Change And Migration, Nik Evasco
Master's Theses
Abstract:
This paper explores the growing phenomenon of migration due to climate change through an analysis of human rights and a review of international conventions. It argues that current migration, refugee and asylum regimes at the regional and international policy levels are inadequate to serve the needs of individuals, families and communities that are preemptively relocating or are forced to migrate due to climate change and its subsequent effects. This paper shows that environmentally-displaced migrants who are either forcibly displaced or preemptively migrating do not have sufficient recognition or legal or political protections compared to ‘traditional’ refugees or migrants. The …
Shifting Views: How Experiential Learning Shapes University Students’ Sense Of Civic Engagement And Solidarity On Migration, Karen Larke
Master's Theses
Higher education institutions have put more weight on the use of experiential learning to provide students with opportunities to grow intellectually and develop as engaged citizens. Many recent studies have looked at the quality and educational impacts of a variety of experiential and service learning experiences, yet few have explored what other ideological impacts may result from specific non-curricular experiential learning experiences. This study measured the impact of experiential learning, in the form of week-long migration-themed trips, on undergraduate student’s self-reported levels of solidarity, and related measures of civic engagement and political engagement and activism around migration issues. This study …
The Narrowing Road To Asylum: How Limitation And Exclusion Have Shaped The 1951 Convention Refugee In The Modern Age, Nancy Giesel
The Narrowing Road To Asylum: How Limitation And Exclusion Have Shaped The 1951 Convention Refugee In The Modern Age, Nancy Giesel
Master's Projects and Capstones
When the United Nations defined the word “refugee” at the 1951 Convention on Refugees, the concept of asylum was very different then it is in the modern day. Although new technology has made it easier than ever for people to move around the world and refugee numbers have climbed to over 25 million[1]in recent years, the central question remains the same: who receives international protection from persecution? Although many national and international protections have been put in place to help vulnerable migrant groups, the changing and ever-expanding landscape of migration has caused a protection gap between these modern …
Ignatian Banners Of Hope And Support For Recently Detained Immigrant Families, Daniela Domínguez
Ignatian Banners Of Hope And Support For Recently Detained Immigrant Families, Daniela Domínguez
Psychology
University of San Francisco (ASUSF) decided to allocate a portion of its annual budget each year to assist undocumented students with non-tuition dollars, most often used for the growingly expensive cost of living within the Bay Area. One year prior, in 2015, USF’s School of Law launched its Immigration and Deportation Defense Clinic to represent unaccompanied children and migrant women with children in Northern California and the Central Valley.
Altogether, these acts of solidarity demonstrate how Jesuit institutions have strived for greater acceptance and empowerment of migrants and refugees. Contributing to this effort, the collection of essays in this book …
