Screaming For Change An Analysis Of Cross-Movement Participation In Florida Straight Edge, Kotu Bajaj
Screaming For Change An Analysis Of Cross-Movement Participation In Florida Straight Edge, Kotu Bajaj
Theses & ETDs
This study explores patterns of cross-movement participation among Straight Edge activists. Straight Edge is a youth culture that emerged out of the hardcore punk scene in Washington DC in the early 1980s and rejects drugs, alcohol and tobacco. But Straight Edge is also an alterative movement that attempts to change society by altering particular behaviors in individuals. This thesis is concerned with how and why Straight Edge kids participate in movements other than Straight Edge, and considers how alterative movements might affect cross-movement participation differently than reformative movements, which dominate the literature on cross-movement participation.

Mitigating Climate Change At The Municipal Scale: American Urban Planning At A Crossroads, Kent L. Hurst
Mitigating Climate Change At The Municipal Scale: American Urban Planning At A Crossroads, Kent L. Hurst
Planning Dissertations - Archive
The failure of international negotiations toward a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol to limit global greenhouse gas emissions has highlighted not only the problematic associated with a global agreement on such a scientifically and politically complex issue, but also the importance of sub-national action in lieu of such an agreement. This is especially true in the United States where any national climate protection framework seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. In the absence of any such policy leadership from Washington, it is increasingly falling to states, regional organizations, and municipalities to craft emissions reduction strategies that will contribute meaningfully …
Climate Change And Small Island States: Adr Ift In A Raising Sea Of Legal Uncertainty, Jeremy Kelley
Climate Change And Small Island States: Adr Ift In A Raising Sea Of Legal Uncertainty, Jeremy Kelley
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
In 1999, the rising sea level swallowed two islands of the nation Kiribati. Rising sea level is one of the effects of climate change to which small island nations are particularly susceptible. Considering that the average elevation of this nation of ninety thousand people on thirty-three islands and atolls is only about two meters above sea level, it is no surprise that Kiribati’s President Anote Tong considers the rising sea a threat to the very existence of his nation.6 Taking a cue from a policy first announced by the Maldives, President Tong has suggested that the solution to his nation’s …
A Failure Of Conscience: How Pakistan’S Devastating Floods Compare To America’S Experience During Katrina, Oded Cedar
A Failure Of Conscience: How Pakistan’S Devastating Floods Compare To America’S Experience During Katrina, Oded Cedar
PEEL Alumni Scholarship
Americans, seeing the destruction this summer from floods in Pakistan, cannot help but draw comparisons to the devastation in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Both raised serious questions about governmental response to natural disasters, although the failings of both governments do not permit easy comparisons. Despite the differences between the two, Pakistan can learn from the U.S. response to Katrina: that with overcrowding in urban areas and limited resources, Pakistan will likely be unable to overcome the geographic challenges of evacuation. Instead, Pakistan must rely on flood prevention techniques, primarily in its cities, as its central line of defense.
Reconceptualizing The Law Of Nuisance Through A Theory Of Economic Captivity, George P. Smith Ii, Matthew Saunig
Reconceptualizing The Law Of Nuisance Through A Theory Of Economic Captivity, George P. Smith Ii, Matthew Saunig
Scholarly Articles
Generally, the fact that a plaintiff comes to a nuisance is not a per se defense to a nuisance action. This defense is viewed in many jurisdictions as but a factor in determining whether a defendant’s conduct is an unreasonable interference with use and enjoyment of a neighbor’s property. In principle, two other affirmative defenses are — although not often allowed in practice by the courts — found in contributory negligence and assumption of the risk.
This Article seeks to develop a theory of economic captivity which embraces the notion that a plaintiff may be constrained, socio-economically, in making choices …

Balancing The "Zoning Budget", Roderick M. Hills Jr., David N. Schleicher
Faculty Articles
The politics of urban land use frustrate even the best intentions. A number of cities have made strong political commitments to increasing their local housing supply in the face of a crisis of affordability and availability in urban housing. However decisions to engage in “up-zoning,” or increasing the areas in which new housing can be built, are often offset by even more “down-zoning,” laws that decrease the ability of residents in a designated area to build new housing as-of-right. The result is that housing availability does not increase by anywhere near the amount that elected officials promised. In this Article, …

Capturing Individual Harms, Katrina Fischer Kuh
Capturing Individual Harms, Katrina Fischer Kuh
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The aggregated lifestyles and behaviors of individuals impose significant environmental harms yet remain largely unregulated. A growing literature recognizes the environmental significance of individual behaviors, critiques the failure of environmental law and policy to capture harms traceable to individual behaviors, and suggests and evaluates strategies for capturing individual harms going forward. This Article contributes to the existing literature by approaching the problem of environmentally significant individual harms through the lens of environmental federalism. Using climate change and individual greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions as an exemplar, the Article illustrates how local information, local governments, and local implementation can enhance policies designed …

Women, Decision Making And Sustainability: Exploring The Experience Of The Badi Foundation In Rural China, Lori Noguchi, Shahla Ali
Women, Decision Making And Sustainability: Exploring The Experience Of The Badi Foundation In Rural China, Lori Noguchi, Shahla Ali
UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice
This Report follows the experience of the Badi Foundation, a nonprofit organization operating in rural China, in its efforts to release women's potential to effect change in their communities. Numerous international conferences and treaties have recognized that female decision making is essential to achieve global environmental change and sustainable development. Recent scholarship recognizes that women are oftoverlooked sources for knowledge, skills, and leadership. Project-based efforts to empower and encourage women to participate in problem solving and other decision making in their communities have produced positive results. Through the Badi Foundation's Environmental Action Program (EAP), rural women gain the skills they …

Negotiating The Wind: A Framework To Engage Citizens In Siting Wind Turbines, Sean F. Nolon
Negotiating The Wind: A Framework To Engage Citizens In Siting Wind Turbines, Sean F. Nolon
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
In Section I, this Article explores the promotion of wind energy by looking at the current system of incentives and regulations, including the authority to mitigate adverse impacts. In Section II, the Article looks at the role of citizens in siting generally, how involvement can turn into opposition, and how that opposition can be managed productively. Section III explores three approaches to citizen engagement that have been used for decades-participatory planning, negotiated rulemaking and facility siting. Finally, Section IV provides a framework for the federal government to work cooperatively with state and local governments to create comprehensive wind energy plans …

Diagonal Federalism And Climate Change: Implications For The Obama Administration, Hari M. Osofsky
Diagonal Federalism And Climate Change: Implications For The Obama Administration, Hari M. Osofsky
Articles
The Obama Administration’s efforts on climate change continue to face daunting challenges domestically and internationally. This Article makes a novel contribution by exploring how the Obama Administration can meet these challenges more effectively though systematically addressing the multiscalar character of climate change in the areas where it has greater regulatory control. Mitigating and adapting to climate change pose complex choices at individual, community, local, state, national, and international levels. The Article argues that these choices lead to many diagonal regulatory interactions: that is, dynamics among a wide range of public and private actors which simultaneously cut across levels of government …
Monsanto Co. V. Geertson Seed Farms: Irreparable Injury To The National Environmental Policy Act?, Madeline Gwyn
Monsanto Co. V. Geertson Seed Farms: Irreparable Injury To The National Environmental Policy Act?, Madeline Gwyn
Emory Law Journal
The Supreme Court recently embarked on a path toward removing the only teeth the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has--its procedural mandates. In Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. and, more recently, in the controversial case Monsanto Co. v. Geertson Seed Farms, the Court declined to issue an injunction against federal agency action despite the agency's failure to complete an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) regarding the action, as required by NEPA.

State Leadership For Safer Chemicals Policy Reform: Lessons From California, Maine, Minnesota And Washington, Michelle A. Russell
State Leadership For Safer Chemicals Policy Reform: Lessons From California, Maine, Minnesota And Washington, Michelle A. Russell
Honors Theses
Chemicals regulation under the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 fails to protect human health. In the absence of federal protection, safer chemicals legislation and implementation is moving forward in four states: Maine, Minnesota, California and Washington. Working in response to a loud public cry of concern and persistent grassroots organizing, these four states have enacted laws that regulate chemicals in consumer products. Maine, Minnesota and Washington chose to focus on regulating the chemicals used in children’s products, taking into consideration greater vulnerability in early development and the compelling public priority to protect children’s health. The most important factors …

Stories Of Transformation : Place-Based Education And The Developing Place-Consciousness Of Educators Along The Hudson River, Jennifer Karen Rosenthal
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This phenomenological case study investigates the lived experiences of five educators who engage in on-board educational programs, offered by the non-profit environmental organization Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc., and follows their stories of place-conscious development leading to place-based educational engagement. By analyzing surveys, participant-generated photographs, in-depth interviews, field observations, educator generated curricula, field notes, and member checking, this study examines each participants' recalled life story which provides a basis for understanding their present educational practices. Using a conceptual framework based upon Gruenewald's (2003) critical pedagogy of place supported by the constructs of conscientizacao (Freire, 1970) and the development of an …

Women And Peace Talks In Africa, Akin Iwilade
Women And Peace Talks In Africa, Akin Iwilade
Journal of International Women's Studies
This paper interrogates the role of women in peace talks in Africa. It addresses the exclusion of women and their peculiar interests from deliberations aimed at constructing a post conflict state framework that resolves the contradictions that incite violent conflict and provides safeguards against recurrence. The paper argues that the failure of peace talks to deliberately incorporate women interests detracts from their potential to effectively confront the questions of post conflict rebuilding. It notes the increasing inclusion of women but argues that this does not amount to gender representation. This is because at the heart of the inclusion is the …
