North Korean Illicit Activities And Sanctions: A National Security Dilemma, Bruce E. Bechtol Jr. Dec 2017

North Korean Illicit Activities And Sanctions: A National Security Dilemma, Bruce E. Bechtol Jr.

Cornell International Law Journal

North Korea is a nation-state that for many years (including the years following the Cold War) has been off of the main radar for American foreign policy.

The Intersection Of Cisgenderism And Hate Crime: Learning From Trans People's Narratives, Michaela M. Rogers

Journal of Family Strengths

Whilst trans people are gaining recognition and positive attention in some respects, many continue to experience discrimination and social exclusion in everyday life. This paper will illuminate violence outside the home – in the form of hate crime – and the interplay with transphobia (the irrational dislike of trans people) and cisgenderism (a prejudicial ideology based on notions of gender normativity). To-date, there is a rather limited body of work detailing trans people’s experiences of hate crime, with the tendency to subsume trans people’s narratives under the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) umbrella. This invisibility results in problems with …
