Viewing The Wreckage: Eco-Disaster Tourism In The Wake Of Katrina, Gould, Tammy L. Lewis
Viewing The Wreckage: Eco-Disaster Tourism In The Wake Of Katrina, Gould, Tammy L. Lewis
Societies Without Borders
Before hurricane Katrina, "cultural tourism" was Louisiana's second largest industry. Tourism agencies are now imploring potential tourists to visit New Orleans for "An eyewitness account of the events surrounding the worst natural disaster on American soil!" Economic need is driving tour agencies to construct 'eco-disaster tourism,' and the construction includes explicit causes of blame. Who is defining the new tourism? How is the controversy surrounding causation being negotiated in eco-disaster tour narratives? e main finding is that the big players in the tourism industry, namely Gray Line Tours, have maneuvered into a powerful position to rewrite the tourism narrative by …

Who Is Afraid Of T. H. Marshall? Or, What Are The Limits Of The Liberal Vision Of Rights?, Murray
Societies Without Borders
The liberal construction of the citizen is a man (sic) empowered with reciprocal rights to the nation state, which will maintain his dignity by providing work and welfare if he can prove need. The challenge for the new century is to find out whether we still can live in a finely balanced world of citizen/civil society state and capital from which these rights will flow. We need to understand why many of the rights died and subsequently to be able to redefine what it means to be a citizen; by taking into account the unequally weighted power relations that favor …
Principles For Organic Public Sociology: Reflections On Publicly Engaged Research In The San Francisco Homeless Policy Field, Noy
Societies Without Borders
Interest in "public sociology" in the United States is a positive sign for researchers who seek to span the borders between academia and social change. However, it is important not to assume that just because sociological research is publicly oriented it will automatically advance human rights, justice, and ecological sustainability. Sociologists must critically consider principles for conducting public sociology if their work is to have a libratory outcome. This is particularly crucial when academic researchers attempt to directly work with marginalized social groups. In this article, I draw upon my experiences conducting a project of public sociology on local homeless …
Without Borders: Just One Border For Human Rights, Tayefi
Without Borders: Just One Border For Human Rights, Tayefi
Societies Without Borders
The author talks about the role of sociologists in defending human rights and promoting social security around the world. He said that those transnational forces such as lawyers, artists, librarians and writers are reflective movements to crash or break the monopolistic invasion of the masters of globalization. He claims that sociologists are hand in hand with other social activists to defend academic freedom and freedom of all people.

Reducing Disparities Beginning In Early Childhood: Short Takes No. 4, Kay Johnson, Suzanne Theberge, Copyright © 2007 By The National Center For Children In Poverty; Columbia University Mailman School Of Public Health Ny
Mickey Leland Center Information Portal
Research shows that many disparities in health and well-being are rooted in early childhood. These disparities reflect gaps in access to services, unequal treatment, adverse congenital health conditions, and exposures in the early years linked to elevated community and family risks.1 Early health risks and conditions can have long-range implications for physical, emotional, and intellectual development as well as health. Their contribution to disparities in health status, disabilities, and educational achievement is well documented.2 But many risks can be addressed in the early years, starting with quality prenatal care and interventions in the earliest stages of life. Thus, literally, reducing …

Human Trafficking: Monitoring And Evaluation Of International Projects Are Limited, But Experts Suggest Improvements, United States Government Accountability Office
Human Trafficking: Data and Documents
While governments, international organizations, and nongovernmental organizations have recognized the importance of collaborating and have established some coordination mechanisms and practices, they will need to overcome challenges that have impeded collaboration in the past for their efforts to be successful. In two of the three countries GAO visited, it found that host governments—which bear ultimate responsibility for combating trafficking within their borders—have passed national anti-trafficking laws and enacted national action plans. However, organizations continue to face numerous challenges when collaborating to combat human trafficking, including varying levels of government commitment and capacity. For example, some governments treat foreign trafficking victims …
International Trafficking In Persons: Taking Action To Eliminate Modern-Day Slavery, U.S. House Of Representatives Committee On International Relations
International Trafficking In Persons: Taking Action To Eliminate Modern-Day Slavery, U.S. House Of Representatives Committee On International Relations
Human Trafficking: Data and Documents
According to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, human trafficking, the subject of our hearing today, is the world’s fastest growing international organized crime. It is also one of the most profitable, generating between $12 billion and $17 billion per year. There are only two other illicit businesses, the trade in drugs and the trade in weapons, which are more lucrative. The European Union has designated this day, October 18, as Anti-Trafficking Day, and I commend our friends in the European Union for their exemplary efforts to advance the cause of human rights. This step reflects the international …

Human Trafficking: Data and Documents
Today our subcommittee will consider House Resolution 121, introduced by my good friend and colleague, Congressman Honda, which urges, basically, the Government of Japan to formally acknowledge, apologize, and accept historical responsibility for its Imperial Armed Force’s coercion of young women into sexual slavery— or forced prostitution if you want to put it in other terms— during its occupation of Asia and the Pacific Islands before and during World War II.
I want to note for the record that former Congressman Lane Evans from the State of Illinois originally spearheaded this effort to defend the human rights of those who …

2007 Trafficking In Persons Report, U.S. Department Of State
Human Trafficking: Data and Documents
The Department of State is required by law to submit a Report each year to the U.S. Congress on foreign governments’ efforts to eliminate severe forms of trafficking in persons. This Report is the seventh annual TIP Report. It is intended to raise global awareness, to highlight efforts of the international community, and to encourage foreign governments to take effective actions to counter all forms of trafficking in persons.
The U.S. law that guides anti-human trafficking efforts, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended (TVPA), states that the purpose of combating human trafficking is to punish traffickers, to …

Instructor Efficacy And Student Consumerism, Bethany Burge
Instructor Efficacy And Student Consumerism, Bethany Burge
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
Students who endorse the culture of student consumerism do not presume higher education to involve effort, challenge or negative evaluation, but rather expect to be given high grades for being tuition-payers and class attendees. I hypothesize that the interplay between students’ perceptions of teacher effectiveness and their individual pupil performance is influenced by student consumerism and reinforced to promote or dissuade student achievement. Depending on the degree to which the student endorses student consumerism, this interplay can also impact the actual grades the students earn.

The Reconstruction Of New Orleans: Post Hurricane Katrina, December S. Venson
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
A synopsis of Hurricane Katrina and the catastrophic damage it caused for the city of New Orleans. The number concern for the city of New Orleans is “reconstruction.” This paper is an examination of the reconstruction efforts and the government’s priorities after the devastating damage created from the cities levee system that was inadequate in function to sustain a storm of Hurricane Katrina’s magnitude. Research, reports, interviews and first-hand accounts create an interesting analysis of the reconstruction efforts. This report will challenge the ideas of bureaucracy, oligarchy, and the theories of ethnic cleansing practices, resulting in the current status of …
