Regtech And Predictive Lawmaking: Closing The Reglag Between Prospective Regulated Activity And Regulation, John W. Bagby, Nizan G. Packin
Regtech And Predictive Lawmaking: Closing The Reglag Between Prospective Regulated Activity And Regulation, John W. Bagby, Nizan G. Packin
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
Regulation chronically suffers significant delay starting at the detectable initiation of a “regulable activity” and culminating at effective regulatory response. Regulator reaction is impeded by various obstacles: (i) confusion in optimal level, form and choice of regulatory agency, (ii) political resistance to creating new regulatory agencies, (iii) lack of statutory authorization to address particular novel problems, (iv) jurisdictional competition among regulators, (v) Congressional disinclination to regulate given political conditions, and (vi) a lack of expertise, both substantive and procedural, to deploy successful counter-measures. Delay is rooted in several stubborn institutions, including libertarian ideals permeating both the U.S. legal system and …
Making America A Better Place For All: Goal 6 Clean Water And Sanitation, Robert W. Adler
Making America A Better Place For All: Goal 6 Clean Water And Sanitation, Robert W. Adler
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
In 2015, the United Nations Member States, including the United States, unanimously approved 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. The SDGs are nonbinding; each nation is to implement them based on its own priorities and circumstances. This Article argues that the SDGs are a critical normative framework the United States should use to improve human quality of life, freedom, and opportunity by integrating economic and social development with environmental protection. It collects the recommendations of 22 experts on steps that the Biden-Harris Administration should take now to advance each of the SDGs. It is part of …

Beyond The Pandemic: Historical Infrastructure, Funding, And Data Access Challenges In Indian Country, Heather Tanana, Aila Hoss
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted Tribal communities, in part, due to the historical inequities that Tribes have faced for centuries. As sovereign nations, Tribes have the authority to self-govern their people and land. However, the federal government has a special trust responsibility and treaty obligations to Tribes that it often has failed to fulfill. As a result, many Tribal communities live in inferior living conditions as compared to their non-Native counterparts. This Chapter builds on the prior report to explore the historical inequities Tribes experience and how they have been compounded by the pandemic. More specifically, it identifies persistent …

Stakeholder’S Risk Perceptions Ofwild Pigs: Is There A Gender Difference?, Maria Bampasidou, Michael D. Kaller, Shaun M. Tanger
Faculty Publications
Substantial literature indicates that genders differ in terms of risk perception and values regarding wildlife management. Lack of equal stakeholder representation is also documented, which can also impact the effectiveness of human-wildlife conflict resolution interventions and education and outreach efforts. This paper investigates gender differences in perceptions about risks and potential adverse impacts on production, health, environment, safety, and population management posed by wild pigs. A survey was used to collect data from a random sample of adult residents (N = 1221) in Louisiana. We analyzed responses from 226 female and 832 male producers. We observed differences in how these …

Mitigating Climate Change: Understanding How Teachers Integrate Social Justice Themes In Environmental Education, Gregory Simons,
Mitigating Climate Change: Understanding How Teachers Integrate Social Justice Themes In Environmental Education, Gregory Simons,
School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Theses and Dissertations
Climate change is an increasingly severe global issue with devastating repercussions for marginalized, poor, and vulnerable people. As a result, environmental education has evolved over the years to build upon outdoor nature study and ecological concepts to incorporate fundamental principles of social and environmental justices while addressing climate change. This qualitative research study employed both an online survey and semi-structured interviews to address two research questions grounded in the environmental justice movement to determine how social justice intersects with pressing global issues commonly found in environmental science curriculum. First, how do environmental science educators integrate social justice themes in their …

The Solution To Plastic Pollution: A Dissection Of The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act, Nadine M. Snyder
The Solution To Plastic Pollution: A Dissection Of The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act, Nadine M. Snyder
Student Publications
Ever since the development of plastic in the 1900s, it has become one of the most commonly used materials in the world. Its flexibility and durability allow it to be used in a wide variety of materials from clothing to packaging to toothbrushes. However, plastic’s durability has caused environmental damage as well, as plastic particles have been found in everything from waterways to human bodies. This paper explains the history and science of plastic production and examines studies on the environmental and public health impacts of plastics. It then examines various policies that have been enacted to control plastic pollution …
Place Me In Gettysburg: Relating Sexuality To Environment, Kylie R. Mandeville
Place Me In Gettysburg: Relating Sexuality To Environment, Kylie R. Mandeville
Student Publications
This project links sexuality and environmental issues in the context of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It considers how I, a queer student at Gettysburg College, can be in “right relations” with this environment. While queer ecological scholarship defines “right relations” as relationships where all beings—people of all identities, as well as animals, plants, and the land—can flourish through their interactions, I inquire whether such flourishing is possible for me, and others like me, here in this place. To answer this question, the project links queer ecological scholarship with environmental history scholarship specific to the Gettysburg battlefield and civil war. It also involves …
Looking Beyond Binaries: How Native Activists Create Decolonized Futures, Sam Guido
Looking Beyond Binaries: How Native Activists Create Decolonized Futures, Sam Guido
Honors Program: Senior Projects (Public)
Native people in the United States and Canada have been resisting settler colonialism for as long as settlers have tried to impose it upon them. That activism has been continuous across centuries; however, sometimes that overall narrative has been lost due to the imposition of settler perspectives that constrain Native activism. Recent Native activist movements in the United States and Canada such as the anti-Keystone Pipeline protests and Idle No More received a lot of attention from both the public and the media, but there was an impulse to define these movements within binary categories like “male or female” or …
A Future Beyond Multinational Corporatism: A Decolonial Analysis Of Oil Corporations In Nigeria, Rachel Coyle
A Future Beyond Multinational Corporatism: A Decolonial Analysis Of Oil Corporations In Nigeria, Rachel Coyle
Gabelli School of Business Honors Thesis Collection
Engaging multiple perspectives and local histories, this paper seeks to examine the presence of multinational oil corporations in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. This study investigates the consequences of the oil industry’s corporatism in Nigeria beyond politics and economics by evaluating community perspectives on indigenous language, traditional industries, popular music, spirituality, and other aspects of life. Due to a lack of corporate engagement with the epistemology, ethno-racial differences, and grassroots economies of the region, this study concludes that oil extracting corporations have fallen short of decolonial economic options. Thus, multinational oil corporations in the Niger Delta perpetuate the nation’s …

Awareness Of And Value Placed On School Social Work: A Study Of Pennsylvania’S Public School Administrators, Jen Marshall
Social Work Doctoral Dissertations
Social workers have been a part of the school community for over 100 years and, although they have proven integral in the lives of students and families, their roles and functions are not clearly understood by their chief school administrators. Administrators’ awareness of the role and function of school social workers holds implications for the delivery of these services. This study explored administrators’ level of awareness and the level of value placed on the role and function of school social workers based on the three components of the School Social Work Practice Model developed by the School Social Workers Association …

Unprecedented Migratory Bird Die-Off: A Citizen-Based Analysis On The Spatiotemporal Patterns Of Mass Mortality Events In The Western United States, Di Yang, Anni Yang, Jue Yang, Rongting Xu, Han Qiu
United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications
Extensive, severe wildfires, and wildfire-induced smoke occurred across the western and central United States since August 2020. Wildfires resulting in the loss of habitats and emission of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds pose serious threatens to wildlife and human populations, especially for avian species, the respiratory system of which are sensitive to air pollutions. At the same time, the extreme weather (e.g., snowstorms) in late summer may also impact bird migration by cutting off their food supply and promoting their migration before they were physiologically ready. In this study, we investigated the environmental drivers of massive bird die-offs by …

Amazon Hq2 & The Nimby Movement: An Opportunity To Incorporate Deliberative Democracy Into New York's Land Use System, Jennifer Russnow
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note examines the failure of Amazon's HQ2 deal in Long Island City, attributing it to inadequate community engagement and the top-down approach by government officials. It argues that incorporating deliberative democratic methods into New York's land use system could mitigate such issues by fostering better dialogue between stakeholders, thus leading to more inclusive and equitable development projects.

Military Communities And Natural Hazards In The United States, Logan Lee
Military Communities And Natural Hazards In The United States, Logan Lee
Theses and Dissertations
The vulnerability and resilience of communities to hazards is a concept that has gained traction in the research community in recent decades. Climate change, combined with increasing damages from natural hazards, has energized researchers and practitioners alike to identify the risks to people and places from future losses. Military communities support large military bases and are composed of service members, their families, and civilian populations alike. Due to the presence of military installations and military populations, the characteristics of the population and influences in military communities are unique. However, there is a gap in current research to assess whether the …
The Recent Federal Withdrawal Of Limitations On Supplemental Environmental Projects And Importance To Environmental Justice Initiatives, Christina Giordanella
The Recent Federal Withdrawal Of Limitations On Supplemental Environmental Projects And Importance To Environmental Justice Initiatives, Christina Giordanella
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note discusses the significance of Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) in advancing environmental justice, particularly benefiting low-income and minority communities. It highlights the Biden administration's reversal of Trump-era restrictions on SEPs, which previously limited their use. The article argues that SEPs are legally valid tools supported by Congress through various environmental statutes and court rulings, despite challenges from the Trump administration. It emphasizes the need for explicit Congressional authorization to secure the future of SEPs and expand their use in settlements.
