Coastal ecosystems are increasingly dominated by humans. Consequently, the human dimensions of sustainability science have become an integral part of emerging coastal governance and management practices. But if we are to avoid the harsh lessons of land management, coastal decision makers must recognize that humans are one of the more coastally dependent species in the biosphere. Management responses must therefore confront both the temporal urgency and the very real compromises and sacrifices that will be necessary to achieve a sustainable coastal ecosystem, one that is economically feasible, socially just, and ecologically sound.

Exploring Women’S Representation In The Parliaments Of Latin America, Elizabeth A. Dennis '07

Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research

The existing literature on women in politics has made it abundantly clear that women around the world are facing structural, cultural, and socioeconomic barriers to power in both the public and private spheres. Yet, despite these common obstacles women in some countries fare better than others. Within Latin America, an otherwise fairly homogenous region, there exists a large variation in the percent women’s representation in the national single or lower houses, from 6.7% (Belize) to 38.6% (Costa Rica). Possible hypotheses for this spread will be tested using data from the Latinobarómetro Survey, UNESCO, the Quota Project, and the Inter-parliamentary Union. …

'For A Few Days We Would Be Residents In Africa": Jessie Redmon Fausct's "Dark Algiers The White'', Claire Garcia

Ethnic Studies Review

American scholarship on the Harlem Renaissance has, until recently, been strongly U.S.-centric, but the work of many of the important writers of the New Negro-era has an international dimension, as writers attempted to place the African American struggle for political and civil rights and cultural authority in larger, often global, contexts. Recent scholarship has revealed that the term, "Harlem Renaissance," used as a rubric to characterize the flowering of black culture-building and political activism in the first years of the 20th century is something of a misnomer.

Petit Apartheid And The ''Tb" Syndrome: Police Racial Profiling Of Chicana/O Youths In San Jose, California, Robert Koehler

Ethnic Studies Review

I like to go out on Friday nights and Saturday nights and join up with my homies and walk around the hot spots and get some food. I like to check out the girls and see if I can get something going with them. But every weekend the cops stop me. What the fuck for? I go to school everyday and get treated like a criminal and then, when I want to step out of my house...I get treated like a criminal again! I have never been arrested for nothing! But I always get stopped for walkin' down the street. …

Affirmative Action In College Admissions: A Compelling Need And A Compelling Warning, Scott Finnie

Ethnic Studies Review

Higher education has been historically recognized as the very door to opportunity and success for our nation's youths and future leaders. Following the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the cry and pressure for access to America's college campuses have intensified, especially along the lines of racial and gender discrimination. The long record of oppression has translated into an intense debate over the feasibility of affirmative action as a viable policy to rectify the past and the present This article will afford a brief overview of the necessity of affirmative action in college admissions as well as an …

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This study aims to understand the antecedents of knowledge sharing behavior amongst tenant firms in Science and Technology Parks (STPs) which has been highlighted as a key factor for the development of an epistemic culture of innovation in STPs. Components of a model of knowledge management leadership with a focus on knowledge sharing and innovative value creation in STPs are developed inspired by the work of Nonaka, Nahapiet and Ghoshal, Guns and others.

Parker Palmer On Servant-Leadership: An Interview, Michael Lieberman Carey, Mike Poutiatine, Shann Ferch

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The following transcript is excerpted from an interview with Parker Palmer conducted for the Gonzaga University online Servant-Leadership Mentor Gallery. Questions have been removed for freedom of content flow. Parker Palmer: What really fascinates me is how visible our brokenness is. A rational person would think nobody needs to be led toward seeing it or understanding it; it's all around us all the time. It's on the nightly news and it's in the morning newspaper and it's in the self-reports that people give of their own lives. So I think we're talking about a network of mythologies or illusions that …

The Network Of Mutual Relations As The Source Of Competitive Advantage Of Small Enterprises On The Market, Svetlana Gudkova

European Management Studies

The paper is devoted to the network of relations developed by entrepreneurs. Based on her empirical research, the author analyzes the role of personal contacts for the development of small enterprises. The paper starts with an analysis of the theoretical concepts developed in the fields of management and enterprise as well as sociology and psychology. The literature on the networks of relations has been developing in two primary directions, the structural and the relational one, within which the researchers have been focusing on a variety of characteristics and other types of links embedded in them. The second section of the …

Corruption Improves Efficiency: An Erroneous Belief, Naved Ahmad

Business Review

Corruption plays a destructive role in the progress and development of any society. Countries around the globe are facing the problem of corruption, albeit in different degrees. The topic of corruption received immense attention during the late 1990s when a stream of systematic empirical studies emerged to examine its causes and effects. Moreover, the debate on the beneficial and detrimental effects of corruption gets central position in the empirical literature.

Frequent Use Of Psychiatric Emergency Services: A Multilevel Approach, Andrew William White

Open Access Dissertations

There is limited information available regarding individuals who make frequent use of psychiatric emergency services. In particular, there is little agreement in the research literature around individual predictors of frequent use, and no existing literature on neighborhood level characteristics that influences frequent use. The current study combines individual level data from an urban psychiatric emergency room with census tract data to examine group and individual predictors of frequent use. Results suggest the presence of several individual level risk factors, such as the existence of a psychotic disorder, presence of dual diagnosis, and lack of health insurance. Tract level predictors are …

Counting Outsiders: A Critical Exploration Of Outsider Course Enrollment In Canadian Legal Education, Natasha Bakht, Kim Brooks, Gillian Calder, Jennifer Koshan, Sonia Lawrence, Carissima Mathen, Debra Parkes

All Faculty Publications

In response to anecdotal concerns that student enrollment in "outsider" courses, and in particular feminist courses, is on the decline in Canadian law schools, the authors explore patterns of course enrollment at seven Canadian law schools. Articulating a definition of "outsider" that describes those who are members of groups historically lacking power in society, or traditionally outside the realms of fashioning, teaching, and adjudicating the law, the authors document the results of quantitative and qualitative surveys conducted at their respective schools to argue that outsider pedagogy remains a critical component of legal education. The article situates the numerical survey results …

Police Powers, Trespass And Expressive Rights Under The Canadian Constitution, W. Wesley Pue

All Faculty Publications

This paper traces the history of the ancillary police powers doctrine in Canadian police law/ constitutional law over the past 40 years. It identifies a doctrine creep wherein a heading of police power which had modest origins has expanded massively. The expansion is spatial and conceptual and reached its reductio ad absurdum when the entire central area of Quebec city was zoned into no-go areas by police acting without legislative authority, claiming the right to erect barricades in public streets, to issue passes (or not) as necessarily ancillary to police powers. The paper includes the only English translation of the …

Reaching Out To The Faculty: Providing Subject-Specific Academic Resources, John Jaeger

The Christian Librarian

Library journals frequently have articles emphasizing the large gulf that seems to exist between academic librarians and teaching faculty members.1 Librarians view this divide as a serious problem and have suggested different strategies to overcome it. Ideas that have received particular prominence include establishing library liaison relationships, providing course-integrated instruction, and encouraging library/faculty research collaboration.

This article focuses primarily on a different method of engaging the faculty. Regularly sending teaching faculty helpful articles and web sites related to their academic disciplines is an easy and effective way to do outreach.

Exposing Sex Stereotypes In Recent Same-Sex Marriage Jurisprudence, Deborah A. Widiss, Elizabeth Rosenblatt, Douglas Nejaime

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This article examines sex discrimination arguments in recent same-sex marriage cases. Since 1993, when the Hawaii Supreme Court held in Baehr v. Lewin that denying same-sex couples the right to marry could state a claim of sex discrimination, every state high court to consider the issue has rejected the claim. But many recent decisions have in fact relied upon sex-based stereotypes to justify marriage restrictions. These include claims that men and women, simply by virtue of their gender, provide distinct role models for children; that men and women play "opposite" or "complementary" roles within marriage; and that marriage is essential …
