Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Caste-based oppression in India lives today in an environment seemingly hostile to its presence: a nation-state that has long been labeled the “world's largest democracy;” a progressive and protective constitution; a system of laws designed to proscribe and punish acts of discrimination on the basis of caste; broad-based programs of affirmative action that include constitutionally mandated reservations or quotas for Dalits, or so-called “untouchables;” a plethora of caste-conscious measures designed to ensure the economic “upliftment” of Dalits; and an aggressive economic liberalization campaign to fuel India's economic growth.

The New Engineer: Between Employability And Social Responsibility, Eddie Conlon

Articles

The reasons behind the demand for what is sometimes called the New Engineer are critically examined and it is argued that a focus on employability alone is not sufficient to prepare socially responsible engineers. By examining issues around work organisation and sustainability it is proposed that engineers need to understand the wider social context in which they work. It is argued that the focus of ethics education should be broadened to focus on the social structure and the way it both enables and constrains socially responsible conduct. There is a call to refocus engineers’ attitudes towards the systems of regulation …

Although literature and legislation in Denmark reveals this idea of a Lived democracy” in the school, most studies have been designed, carried out, and analyzed by adult researchers, with little opportunity for input from the actual participants– the children …

A Qualitative Comparative Analysis Of Drug Policies In The United States And The Netherlands, Rebecca Rehfeld

Whittier Scholars Program

This paper is a qualitative comparative analysis of drug policies in the Netherlands and the United States through a review of literature. This project examines the individual, social, political, and philosophical implication of each country’s model for dealing with drug use/addiction and compares and contrast them to deduce which is most effective overall. These two countries specifically are compared because of their polar approaches in dealing with issues of drug use, addiction, and sale. This project explains how the Netherlands recognizes drug use/addiction as a public health issue, while the United States has a punishment- based approach. It also examines …
