Occupational Segregation Of Women On The Great Plains, Ann Mari May, Robert Watrel

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Despite large increases in the participation of women in the paid labor force, occupational segregation by sex continues to be a significant characteristic of the labor market in the US. To better understand occupational segregation, we developed a new measure of occupational segregation that allows us to identify "female-dominated," "male-dominated," and "integrated" occupations. We use the new measure to examine differences in occupational segregation in the Great Plains states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas, compared with the US as a whole. Our results indicate that more women on the Great Plains are employed than expected, given male …

Production Agriculture Versus The Environment: The Role Of Statistics, Linda J. Young

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Corn production in the United States provides an example of the agricultural changes that have occurred in recent times. Because all such agricultural activity potentially can affect the environment to some degree, the challenge is now to quantify and understand those effects. Although monitoring of the environment for such effects is not new, the procedures often fall short of providing reliable quantitative data. One example is the inconsistent, incomplete, and unreliable information currently available to assess US surface water quality and trends in that quality. The utilization of probability-based sampling designs could playa vital role in the improvement of information …

Southwest historian and prominent civic and religious leader Cleofás Calleros (1896-1973) was born in Río Florido, Chihuahua, Mexico to Ismael Calleros and Refugio Perales de Calleros.

After graduating from school Calleros worked as a freight clerk for the Santa Fe Railway and as an accountant and private businessman. He was drafted into the United States Army and served in France during World War I.

Constituting Civil Society: School Vouchers, Religious Nonprofit Organizations, And Liberal Public Values, Stephen Macedo

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The renewed interest in civil society has given rise to a number of constitutional, political, and moral concerns. Critics of "civil society revivalism" worry that relying on local communities and institutions could come at the expense of overarching constitutional ideals of liberal justice. While some argue, for example, that channeling public monies to religious and other private schools would help invigorate the educational influence of families, churches and other communities in civil society, others argue that the flow of public funds to sectarian schools will undermine the public institutions that support citizenship and children's freedom. While acknowledging that there are …

The New Establishmentarianism, Michael W. Mcconnell

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article responds to the notion that government should identify and enforce a set of common beliefs and values, which McConnell calls "establishmentarianism." McConnell argues that establishmentarianism is inferior to the view that the values of society must emerge from the free institutions of civil society (liberalism). In doing so, McConnell explores the irony that modern insistence on diversity can go beyond mere tolerance of dissenting viewpoints and undermine the diversity and pluralism of society as a whole. Pluralism consists of a variety of different groups; an insistence on pluralism within groups has a homogenizing effect. Specifically, the Article addresses …

No Time Is The Right Time: The Supreme Court's Use Of Ripeness To Block Judicial Review Of Forrest Plans For Environmental Plaintiff's In Ohio Forestry Ass'n V. Sierra Club, Eacata Desiree Gregory

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Comment examines the Supreme Court decision that resolved the split in the circuits over the justiciability of Land and Resource Management Plans, or Forest Plans, which the Forest Service prepares. In Ohio Forestry Ass'n v. Sierra Club, the Court denied the Sierra Club's challenge to the Forest Plan for Wayne National Forest, holding that the issues were not ripe for review absent site-specific, on-the-ground activities. Gregory argues that the Court's decision reflects the continuing use of justiciability doctrines, such as ripeness, to restrict environmental plaintiffs' access to the courts. She maintains that Forest Plans are final agency actions …

The Paradox Of Silence: Some Questions About Silence As Resistance, Dorothy E. Roberts

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In Part I, I note the difficulty in distinguishing between silencing and silence as resistance. This difficulty has often led people in power to misinterpret the silence of people of color. Part II further explores the complications of incorporating the study of silence into resistance scholarship. I illustrate this complexity by discussing the silencing of welfare mothers and the use of language by women of color to challenge dominant medical discourse. Part III considers Professor Montoya's proposal to use silence as a pedagogical tool. Continuing my examination of silence as both liberating and accommodating, I distinguish between silence in the …

Fear Of Law: Thoughts On Fear Of Judging And The State Of The Federal Sentencing Guidelines (Sentencing Symposium), Frank O. Bowman Iii

Faculty Publications

To understand Fear of Judging and the debate over the Federal Sentencing Guidelines requires some familiarity with the sentencing reform movement that led to the adoption of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines in 1987, as well as at least a rudimentary grasp of the structure of the Guidelines themselves. For those readers who require an introduction to both subjects, the next section of this Article attempts to provide one. Those already familiar with the Guidelines and their history can skip to Section III, where the discussion of Fear of Judging begins in earnest.

A New Era In American Agriculture, Peter Hosch

Major Themes in Economics

The implications of the 1996 Freedom to Farm Bill go far beyond free market agriculture. By moving away from past farm policy and lifting subsidy payments, America's small farmers will be forced out of business. This should have happened gradually over the years. With current agricultural technology and the unique structure of the agriculture industry, the phasing out of the small farmer will be rapid. Current trends in agribusiness consolidation also threaten the rural businesses that have traditionally supported the small farmers and consumer choice in the marketplace.

Trade Adjustment Assistance: Past Issues, Current Concerns, And A Possible Solution, Mike Hanson

Major Themes in Economics

Compensating workers who are displaced by trade provides a key political tool for advancing the cause of free trade. Since 1962 the United States has provided such compensation through Trade Adjustment Assistance. Throughout much of the program's relatively short life, there has been much criticism of its effectiveness. However, converting the program to one that provides earnings insurance rather than income replacement would greatly improve the program by providing strong incentives to find work.

The Role Of Foreign Direct Investment In Transition Economies, With Special Emphasis On The Republic Of Croatia, Marko Svetina

Major Themes in Economics

This paper examines the process of transition in Central Europe. It examines the development of international trade theories as a basis for the emergence of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), along with a brief history of FDI. Special consideration is given to FDI as a determinate of economic growth in transitional Croatia. It is argued that Croatia has reached a level of economic development where it can make use of substantial amounts of FDI.

Donald Schön, The Reflective Practitioner, And The Comparative Failures Of Legal Education, Richard K. Neumann Jr.

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

In the clinical literature, one of the most oft-quoted of non-lawyers has been Donald A. Sch6n, a professor at MIT's School of Architecture and Planning who did a highly original investigation into how professionals of all kinds think and educate. In this journal' and in others and even overseas, he has been cited almost routinely. Most of these are passing references, although sometimes a significant part of an article's direction appears to have been influenced by Sch6n's thinking. So many law school teachers have been Sch6n fans for so long that for the 1992 annual meeting of the Association of …

Primus Inter Pares: Political Parties And Civil Society, Nancy L. Rosenblum

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Primus Inter Pares observes that civil society theorists have left political parties out of their accounts of intermediate associations, and explores the reasons for this omission. Rosenblum argues that the distinctive characteristics of American political parties as membership groups and the internal nomos of parties are keys to their capacity to cultivate the dispositions and practices required by representative democracy.

Civil Society, Civic Virtue, And Liberal Democracy, William A. Galston

Chicago-Kent Law Review

While the contemporary "civil society revival" is not without flaw, many of the criticisms leveled against it are exaggerated and rest on misunderstandings of the claims being advanced. Contrary to critics' charges, a renewed focus on civil society is compatible with appropriate attention to the significance of economic trends and the public sector. In turn, however, we cannot fully understand the changes in the economy and the public sector without considering the independent causal role of trends in the family, culture, and public opinion. In assessing these trends, qualitative historicocultural analysis is not enough; quantitative social science data play an …
