The Charter And Anglophone Legal Theory, Part I, Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has generated not only new terrain over which discursive positions are mobilized, but it has catalysed theoretical reflection about law, society, state, and the self. Examining the implications of the Charter for Anglophone legal theory, the author conducts both a qualitative and quantitative survey of jurisprudential work on the Charter and concludes that the Charter's impact on legal theory has been significant. The Charter has prompted expansion of the range of interdisciplinary influences, contextualized theoretical reflection, and made jurisprudence more engaged with and relevant to Canadian social life. The Charter also has facilitated …

Political Science Faculty Publications

This essay illustrates how undergraduate students can use survey design techniques to help community service organizations collect data on program effectiveness and program development.

The "Baby Aids" Bill, Nettie Mayersohn

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Assemblywoman Mayersohn first explains the reasons behind her support for the so-called “Baby AIDS” bill; namely, that over one thousand babies in New York State tested positive for AIDS or HIV antibodies every year but medical professions were not allowed to reveal the results to anyone, including the mother. After the introduction of the bill, the author details how she received criticism and opposition from activist organizations that she had previously supported. In conclusion, the “Baby AIDS” bill is a success because it no longer treated infected infants as some sort of statistical tool and ensures the infants receive the …

Mandatory Testing Of Pregnant Women And Newborns: Hiv, Drug Use, And Welfare Policy, Wendy Chavkin, Deborah Elman, Paul H. Wise

Fordham Urban Law Journal

An emerging strand of thought portrays pregnant women with drug addiction and HIV infection as having a willful hostility towards their fetus. As a result, pregnant mothers with HIV or addictions are confronted with decreased funding for services and increased sanctions for positive toxicology tests. The rhetoric of blame towards “deviant” mothers has escalated to embrace poor mothers in general. However, in order to support the babies, their mothers must be supported as well.

Is There A Right To Physician-Assisted Suicide?, J. David Bleich

In Part II, author makes the case against suicide, noting that liberty is not absolute and the state retains powers of sovereignty to curtail an individual’s liberty in the face of a countervailing state interest. In Part III, the author discusses the relevant case law relating to the withdrawal of medical treatment. Part IV concludes with a …

Physician-Assisted Suicide: An Anthropological Perspective, Cheryl Mwaria

Fordham Urban Law Journal

In considering physician-assisted suicide, the real challenge lies in understanding the nature of culture itself. Missing from the debate is a discussion of the social consequences of hidden expectations and obligations with respect to access to health care, allocation of resources, terminal and chronic illness, disability, difference, suffering, and the nature of death itself. Part I explores the hidden dimensions of culture that operate at the level of the unconscious. In order to examine the ways in which our cultural expectations are likely to change with the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and active euthanasia it is imperative that we consider …

Supporting Student Teachers In An Urban, Multicultural Setting, Brian White

Peer Reviewed Articles

There is nothing unusual or startling about Grand Rapids Central High School, an urban school like hundreds of others across the country. But like most preservice teachers, the students in our teacher education program at Grand Valley State University have had very little experience in urban schools, and many find the prospect of student teaching at Central frightening indeed.

Learning, Working, Managing, Sharing: The New Paradigm Of The Learning Organization, Barry Sugarman

Journal of Pedagogy, Pluralism, and Practice

This essay examines the idea of the "Learning Organization" and some implications of its challenge to the long-dominant "Bureaucratic" paradigm. The central thesis of the L.O. paradigm holds (1) that a key success factor for any organization in the age of global competition is its ability to innovate continuously, appropriately, and faster than its rivals., and (2) that that can only happen through releasing the untapped capabilities of all its employees. Hence the key to successful organizations lies not in the areas of better control by managers but in the areas of better learning by all workers (including managers) -- …

“Mechanical Arts And Merchandise” Canadian Public Administration In The New Economy, Harry W. Arthurs

Articles & Book Chapters

The "New Economy", with its attendant trends and consequences, presents a number of distinct chal- lenges to Canadian public administration. The key features of the New Economy - changes in technol- ogy and the social organization of work, globalization and regional economic integration, and shifts in the boundary between the state and civil society - de- mand a reconsideration of the ways in which we have previously thought about bureaucracy, government, and the role of the interventionist state. These changes in our political economy have profoundly destabilized Canadian public administration and require us to find new ways to cope with …

The Invisible Barbecue, Eben Moglen

Faculty Scholarship

Past legislation subsidizing the development of infrastructural technology has borne the mark of political corruption. The subject matter of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 falls within the same category of legislation that has fallen prey to this process in the past. In an effort to discern whether such forces are at work today, Professor Moglen undertakes a critical examination of the metaphors that pervade the current scholarly discourse on the subject of telecommunications law. Terms such as "Superhighway," "Broadcasting," and "Market for Eyeballs" reveal a great deal about the implicit assumptions at work behind the current scholarship and legislation, and …

The International City Hypothesis: An Approach To The Recent History Of U.S. Cities, Carl Abbott

Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations

Differentiates between the concepts of world cities and international cities, asserting that study of international cities offers greater opportunities for research and analysis of major urban regions of the latter 20th century. The world city model emphasizes hierarchy and status based on influence and power. The international city model emphasizes numerous indicators that demonstrate a broader range of international connections, including foreign tourists, new immigration, sister-city affiliations, and multinational corporation offices. They may function as production centers, gateway cities, or transactional cities. At present, statistical data are thin, and the topic invites research by urban historians.
