Gardner-Webb University School Of Divinity Students Minister To Hundreds Of People In Latin America, Office Of University Communications Jul 2016

Gardner-Webb University School Of Divinity Students Minister To Hundreds Of People In Latin America, Office Of University Communications

Gardner-Webb NewsCenter Archive

Through food ministries for the impoverished, worship music with children and discipleship to adults, Gardner-Webb University students extended God’s love to the people of Latin America during a recent cultural immersion trip. Dr. Terry Casino, professor of missiology in the GWU School of Divinity, led the group experience through Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico, as part of the school’s Missiology and Intercultural Studies Concentration curriculum. “A missiologist once said that missions work is caught rather than taught. By going overseas this summer, divinity students had the opportunity to see for themselves what God is doing outside their comfort zone in …


Spatial Transitions And The Political Economy In Latin America's Memorial Museums: The Ex-Esma And The Memorial Da Resistência, Julia Youngs Jul 2016

Spatial Transitions And The Political Economy In Latin America's Memorial Museums: The Ex-Esma And The Memorial Da Resistência, Julia Youngs

Latin American Studies ETDs

I say “contentiously” because the historical dialogues that framed the creation, use, and definition of the Memorial …

Making Space For Women: Explaining Citizen Support For Legislative Gender Quotas In Latin America, Tiffany D. Barnes, Abby Córdova Jul 2016

Making Space For Women: Explaining Citizen Support For Legislative Gender Quotas In Latin America, Tiffany D. Barnes, Abby Córdova

Political Science Faculty Publications

Gender quotas have been adopted in over a hundred countries in an effort to address gender disparities in national legislatures. Yet the determinants of citizen support for gender quota policies remain largely understudied. We develop a theory that emphasizes the impact of institutional performance and political values to explain citizen support for gender quotas and how these two factors differentially influence men’s and women’s quota support. Based on data for 24 Latin American countries, we find that citizens in countries with relatively good governance quality who express a strong preference for government involvement to improve citizens’ well-being show the highest …
