Translating Land Justice Through Comparison: A Us-French Dialogue And Research Agenda., Megan Horst, Nathan Mcclintock, Adrien Baysse-Lainé, Ségolène Darly, Flaminia Paddeu, Coline Perrin, Kristin Reynolds, Christophe-Toussaint Soulard

Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this discussion piece, eight scholars in geography, urban planning, and agri-food studies from the United States (US) and France engage in a bi-national comparison to deepen our collective understanding of food and land justice. We specifically contextualize land justice as a critical component of food justice in both the US and France in three key areas: access to land for cultivation, urban agriculture, and non-agricultural forms of food provisioning. The US and France are interesting cases to compare, considering the differences and similarities in their colonial and agricultural histories, persistent and systemic race and class-based inequities in land access, …

Dr. Willa Beatrice Player: A Quiet But Resolute Force For Social Justice, Kelsey Bogard

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Dr. Willa Beatrice Player survived the college presidency during one of America's most tumultuous times, the 1950s and 1960s. Unfortunately, like the many other Black women's contributions, there is very little known about Dr. Player's work in education. Very little is also being done in scholarship and research to correct this problem. This historical research study seeks to depict accurately Dr. Willa Beatrice Player's role as an educator, college administrator, civil rights activist, federal appointee, and Bennett College's first woman president. She was an advocate for social justice and equity. Her work to further the academic and political agendas that …

Palestine—And Empire—Are Central To Arab American/Swana Studies, Louise Cainkar

Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Taking the small number of ethnographic studies of Palestinian communities in North America as its problematic, this article situates that predicament in the larger context of decades of academic silencing of Arab American and SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) studies, efforts that represent but one component of a larger political project to quash pro-Palestinian activism. Abetted by the absence of a racial category, scholars continue to face substantial hurdles at the institutional level, inhibiting the robust growth of the field and boding poorly for an expansion in community studies. Yet recent scholarship on Palestinians in North America—exemplified by the …

And What Of The “Black” In Black Letter Law?: A Blaqueer Reflection, T. Anansi Wilson

Faculty Scholarship

This is a reflective, analytical essay remarking on the role that Blackness has and continues to play in the construction, understanding and application of "black letter law." This essay is written from a Black and BlaQueer perspective and displays how a shift in standpoint--moving from the invisible, standard white "reasonable person"--underscores and illuminates the current legal and sociopolitical crisis we find ourselves in. It is continuation of the discussion began in my earlier articles "Furtive Blackness: On Blackness & Being," "The Strict Scrutiny of Black and BlaQueer Life" and the working paper "Sexual Profiling & BlaQueer Furtivity: BlaQueers On The …

Opening The American University: African American, Latino/A, And Women's Activism In Higher Education And Postwar Politics, 1964-1985, Jillian Elizabeth Mcclure

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

After the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, student and faculty activists at public, flagship universities used existing civil rights organizations and founded new activist groups to bring attention to barriers that hindered their equal power and participation within higher education. African Americans, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and women created grassroots campaigns and worked within institutional structures to reform universities between 1964 and 1985. Activists worked separately and across gender, racial, and ethnic lines in attempts to gain authority, power, and self-determination within the university system. Students and faculty asserted that flagship universities needed to serve the needs …

Diasporic Longings, Bakirathi Mani

English Literature Faculty Works

Using diaspora as a framework for reading Asian American literature expands the geographical and temporal contours of what it means to be Asian American. Although late-twentieth-century US popular culture was marked by multicultural ideologies of American citizenship, “diaspora” captures another way of thinking about Asian Americans: as immigrants who are subject to multiple projects of nationalism, and who embody diverse forms of citizenship. Whereas writers like Bharati Mukherjee reproduce dominant ideologies of US exceptionalism and multicultural citizenship, for writers such as Meena Alexander, the production of diasporic locality ripples across generations, as she ties together South Asia with North America, …

Hmong In The Twin Cities: Diaspora Experiences And Personal Identities, Anisha Rajbhandary

Geography Honors Projects

Asian Americans as a whole have been portrayed as “model minorities” due to their higher degree of socioeconomic success compared to the average population. However, this “model minority” stereotype primarily based upon the voluntary immigration experiences of East and South Asians with greater socio-economic resources, hardly accounts for the immigration experiences of other Asian groups such as Hmong Americans. Utilizing extensive literature review, first person interviews and collected survey data, this paper explores Hmong diaspora and identity in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, analyzing how Hmong Americans reconcile with the stereotypes set for Asian “model minorities” and construct their own …

The Karen Diaspora : Transnational Sense Of Belonging And Practices After The 2021 Myanmar Coup, Thinh Mai Phuc

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research examines the Karen diaspora’s transnational sense of belonging, ideological transition and tactics embodied in transnational activities after the 2021 Myanmar military coup. Looking at young Karen people in 5 host countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, Norway and Thailand, it is evident that those people in the diaspora still perceive the notion of homeland and maintain an emotional sense of belonging to their homeland after a long period of resettlement in host countries. In the context of the 2021 coup, those young people have engaged actively in transnational activities with various tactics used both on-site and online. …

Processing The Processes Of Migration: Insights From Book Of Daniel, M. Daniel Carroll R. Phd

Apuntes: Reflexiones teológicas desde el margen hispano

Hay muchas dimensiones de los procesos de migrar y de acomodarse a otro país que se pueden tratar. Una de las más fundamentales es la religiosa. Después de recalcar su importancia, este ensayo explica cómo la Biblia puede ser un recurso de orientación para el inmigrante: allí encuentra historias que hacen eco de sus experiencias y le animan a perseverar, confiando en la soberanía de Dios. Aún, los inmigrantes pueden aportar nuevas apreciaciones a la lectura bíblica. El ensayo presenta el primer capítulo de Daniel como un caso de prueba.
