On The Limits Of Sexual Health Literacy: Insights From Ugandan Schoolgirls, Shelley Jones, Bonny Norton

Institute for Educational Development, East Africa

This article makes the case that current conceptions of sexual health literacy have limited relevance to the Ugandan context because they assume that knowledge of unsafe sexual practices will lead to changes in behavior and lifestyle. Drawing on a longitudinal case study with 15 Ugandan schoolgirls in rural Uganda from August 2004 to September 2006, this study argues that despite being well-informed about the risks and responsibilities of sexual activity, poverty and sexual abuse severely constrained options for these young women. Although many believed in the value of abstaining from sexual activity until marriage, they engaged in transactional sex to …

“The Problem Of Science” In Nietzsche And Heidegger, Babette Babich

Research Resources

Nietzsche and Heidegger pose important philosophical questions to science and its technological projects. The resultant contributes to what may be called a continental philosophy of science and I argue that only such a rigorously critical approach to the question of science permits a genuinely philosophical reflection on science. The resultant contributes to what may be called a continental philosophy of science and I argue that only such a rigorously critical approach to the question of science permits a genuinely philosophical reflection on science. More than a thoughtful reflection on science, however, the heart of philosophy is also at stake in …

Restorative Justice In Post-Disaster Situations: Untapped Potential, Maria R. Volpe

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Post-disaster situations can provide a wide range of opportunities for restorative justice. Depending on the nature of the disaster, man-made or natural, the potential of using restorative justice practices to assist in rescue, recovery, and rebuilding efforts can be significant. The challenges, however, can be even more significant.

My interest in examining restorative justice efforts in post-disaster situations grew out of my earlier research on dispute resolution responses to 9/11. In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, countless questions arose about the role and relevance of dispute resolvers. 9/11 also triggered a wide range of hate crimes, which seemed …

Exploring The Limits Of The Restorative Justice Paradigm: Restorative Justice And White-Collar Crime, Zvi D. Gabbay

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Part I of this article introduces the restorative justice paradigm. It defines restorative justice and its basic values and principles and presents two theories which illustrate the goals of restorative interventions and the basic requirements for their commencement. Part II introduces white-collar crime and focuses on high-profile white-collar crime committed by corporate executives. This part discusses the centrality of white-collar crime within the criminal justice system and society in general and reviews the latest developments in legislation and sentencing policies on white-collar crime. Part III argues that the restorative justice paradigm should be applied to high-profile white-collar crime as a …

Research Publications (2006 to 2010)

In undertaking my research on the classification of Thai-Kedah dialects, Umaiyah (2003) under a study leave grant from the University of Malaya, I came across Thai Buddhists who regard themselves as Malaysians, a minority group living in small communities in Kedah, Malaysia. These small communities are scattered in the state of Kedah, centred on Buddhist temples living peacefully with the predominantly majority Malay community. of interest in this paper is the community living in Naka, Kedah.

The Rise Of Paradigmatic Monism And Its Cultural Implications, M.H.S. Abdul Murad

Research Publications (2006 to 2010)

In this paper I shall be looking at the state of science before and after the 17th century especially with regard to the question of the nature of scientific knowledge, specifically scientific paradigms. I will argue that some of the major differences between modern science and pre-modern science are due to (i) methodological changes, (ii) the rise of paradigmatic monism in modern science as opposed to paradigmatic pluralism in pre-modern science, (iii) the integration of science with technology after the 17th century. These changes, I maintain, also redefine the role of scientific knowledge in society and culture, and bring in …

Pound, Roscoe (1870-1964), Michael R. Hill

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Roscoe Pound, sociologist, ecologist, and noted jurist, originated and promulgated the legal movement known as the American school of sociological jurisprudence. This revolutionary perspective remains the single most consequential application of sociological thinking in American society. Pound's sociological theories and empirical methodologies fundamentally transformed the prosecution and administration of US law for a full half-century.

Dissonant Harmonization: Limitations On "Cash N' Carry" Creativity, 70 Alb. L. Rev. 1163 (2007), Doris E. Long

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Even though creativity lies at the heart of present copyright laws, the impulse to create-or more precisely what triggers such creativity-remains largely unexamined. Coinciding with the digital demand for access to information, new standards for "cash 'n' carry" creativity are being urged with little regard to what level of authorial3 control may be required to ensure continued enrichment of the public domain through the creation of vibrant new works. Scientific, psychological, and sociological studies indicate that "cash 'n' carry" creativity fails to implement the critical triggering mechanisms for the creative impulse. Moreover, such "cash 'n' carry" attitudes toward authors' rights …

Secrecy And Separated Powers: Executive Privilege Revisited, Heidi Kitrosser

Articles

This Article considers the constitutional validity of executive privilege claims made by the President against statutorily authorized information requests. The Article concludes that such claims are constitutionally illegitimate and that courts, when turned to, should order compliance with statutorily authorized demands for information in the face of executive privilege claims. This conclusion is reached in two steps. First, perusal of Article I's list of legislative powers and Article II's list of presidential powers does not clearly resolve the issue. Rather, such perusal alone offers fair ground to deem control of executive branch information both within Congress' "sweeping clause" power and …

The Emergence Of Central Florida's Puerto Rican Community, Cynthia Melendez

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As with many cities in Florida, Orlando is becoming a melting pot of various ethnic groups. In particular, the Hispanic population in Orlando and throughout Central Florida is steadily increasing in numbers and influence. Groups such as Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and Colombians are enriching the area with their culture, language, and diversity. Puerto Ricans, the largest of the Hispanic groups in Central Florida, are also emerging as the dominant group in the region as evidenced by their common language, historical and cultural heritage, shared common interests, and in some cases, residence within clear geographical areas. Between 1980 and 1990, …

Brazilian Immigration: A New View Of Latinization, Patricia Martins Buzato

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Immigration and ethnic issues are currently present in political discussions in the U.S. It is important to understand how immigration as a whole helps historians understand U.S. history. An issue that involves immigration debates in the South is the idea of Latinization introduced by Raymond Mohl in his article "Globalization, Latinization, and the Nuevo New South". He defines Latinization as a low-wage and low-skill labor market emphasizing Spanish speaking Latin American workers in manufacturing, construction and agriculture. He focuses primarily on Mexican-born immigrants and their influence on the labor force of Alabama's rural and urban economy. By extending this idea, …

Russian Cultural Factors Related To Perceived Criminal Procedure Fairness: The Juxtaposition Of Policy And Practice, Olga B. Semukhina

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the Russian culture and citizens' perceived fairness of the new Criminal Procedural Code of Russia of 2001 (CPC of 2001). The CPC of 2001 is a key policy in the Russian criminal law reform with the purpose of implementing adversarial procedure elements in Russia. The existing literature has documented the lack of public support along with observed violations of the CPC's major provisions which as made this an important area for study. It is theorized that the apparent contradiction between the underlying values of the Russian culture, and CPC's …
