Racial Capitalism, Neocolonial Wealth Transfer, And Canadian International Student Policy, Vincent Wong, Arman Sohi

Dalhousie Law Journal

This paper examines historical and contemporary trends in Canadian international student policy through the lens of racial capitalism, arguing that current policy facilitates a significant neocolonial wealth transfer from Global South families to Canada through processes of expropriation, exploitation, and expulsion. It argues that discriminatory tuition fees effectively function as “education head taxes”, which extract billions of dollars annually from international students. Meanwhile, “gauntlets” to permanent residency have emerged in an immigration landscape where working class migrants have narrower options to regularize, creating a system of labour exploitation where student-labourers face precarious conditions and structural indebtedness. Finally, the constant threat …

Re-Reading Power Inside The Aml-Ctf Regime, Sanaa Ahmed

Dalhousie Law Journal

Money laundering and money laundering controls are having a global moment. Many jurisdictions around the world—some more than others—feature regularly in news cycles for either offences to do with money laundering or sanctions avoidance or the laxity of controls that enable such activities. The mainstream media has reported on stories about banks in Canada and football clubs in Italy, about charities in the UK and the real estate industry in the US. Each revelation prompts mea culpas from offenders—TD Bank in Canada is one such example—and often, a raft of new or enhanced regulatory measures.

Critically, the point that remains …

Evaluating The Impact Of The Occupation-Centered Intervention Assessment On Client-Centered Care In Inpatient Brain Injury Rehabilitation: A Pilot Study, Vanessa D. Jewell, Katherine Lally, Melinda Schultze, Yongyue Qi, Kendra Schnack, Madeline Mcgill, Rachel Vaughn

Translational Science in Occupation

Background: Occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) recognize the value of evidence-based practice, however, incorporation of client-centered practice as a component of evidence-based practice is challenging, despite the known advantages. This pilot study evaluated the use of the Occupation Centered Intervention Assessment (OCIA) in increasing practitioner ability to provide client-centered care in inpatient rehabilitation facilities with adults with an acquired brain injury (ABI).

Method: A mixed methods design was employed, using four forms of data collection (OCIA, The Measure of Processes of Care for Service Providers [MPOC], MPOC- Service Providers [MPOC-SP], and interviews) to determine changes in observed and perceived …

Developing A Curriculum Audit Tool For Justice, Equity, Diversity, And Inclusion In Occupational Therapy Education, Whitney M. Cranna, Sarah Mckinnon

Translational Science in Occupation

Background: The OT profession is calling for intentional pedagogy that builds future practitioners’ capacity for embodying justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (JEDI) values; however, the interpretation and application of this mission remain subjective and nebulous. Developing a theory-driven audit tool may help standardize and clarify JEDI pedagogy needs to enhance OT preparation and practice.

Objective: Using a culturally responsive, justice-based theoretical lens, this paper describes the development of a JEDI Curriculum Audit Tool for a Post-Professional Doctor of Occupational Therapy (PP-OTD) program.

Design: Quantitative systematic evaluation of curricular alignment with JEDI principles, including a 3-prong retroactive self-evaluation approach.

Setting: Curriculum …

Enhancing Diversity In Occupational Therapy Through A High School Internship Program, Alexis M. F. Morin, Brittany Adams, Vianni Gomez

Translational Science in Occupation

Abstract

The United States (US) is projected to become an increasingly diverse nation over the decades ahead, but there is a lack of racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in occupational therapy (OT). While the job outlook for occupational therapy practitioners continues to be strong and is expected to rise, OT education programs are facing enrollment crises nationally. It is crucial for academic programs to develop and implement innovative and methodical strategies to recruit and retain a diverse student body to promote diversity, inclusion, and equity within the profession. To promote diversity, inclusion, and equity in occupational therapy, a university partnership …

Occupancy Sampling To Examine Spatial Distribution Of Oklahoma Salamanders (Eurycea Tynerensis) Among Headwater Streams In The Ozark Highlands, Sophia Anreder

Biological Sciences Undergraduate Honors Theses

Water conditions are changing globally due to climate change (Gleick, 1989). Headwater streams specifically are vulnerable to changes in hydrology, water quality, and physical characteristics from anthropogenic practices due to their small watersheds with shallow soils, yet they are often not a priority in conservation (Campbell et al., 2011; Abell et al., 2017). Within streams, plethodontid (i.e., lungless) salamanders, which are also sensitive to environmental changes, may be restricted in their distribution due to undefined stream characteristics and predation by fish (Welsh and Droege, 2002; Kuhajda et al., 2015). To better understand the pressures that influence stream salamander occupancy, I …

Ai And The Narrative Of The Everyday Life: Machine Learning Applied To The Social Mapping Of Rural Music Festivals., Enrique Villamuelas García, Eva Hurtado Torán, Eduardo Roig Segovia

Artículos científicos

Given the growing ubiquity of AI and the consequent valorization of data in territorial representation, it becomes crucial to analyze how multimodal algorithms interpret spatial narratives and community dynamics. This research studies the effects of algorithmic automation on social mappings. Using "Balboa Observa" project, a collaborative web mapping initiative that documents Observatorio Music Festival in Spain, the study explores the interaction between collective cartography, ethnographic analysis, and AIdriven data processing. Unlike conventional AI practices, the prioritizes analyses that avoid imposing structured categories on everyday narratives, allowing inclusion of sensitive information for deeper festival impact understanding. Through multimodal algorithms like CLIP …

Artículos científicos

Este texto explora la construcción del espacio del hogar y sus objetos cotidianos en la ficción cinematográfica como un elemento fuertemente generizado, cuyas distorsiones en nombre de lo terrorífico, fantástico o insólito pueden reforzar o subvertir las categorías de género. Se toman como materiales de análisis las películas Pesadilla diabólica(Burnt Offerings, Curtis, 1976) y Soy la bonita criatura que vive en esta casa (I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, Perkins, 2016), seleccionadas por sus temáticas y tratamientos formales. Dichos productos culturales traslucen tanto los cambios en roles y relaciones de género impulsados por los planteamientos feministas …

Artículos científicos

El horror como movimiento artístico-literario ha expandido sus fronteras para dar cabida a nuevas narrativas interactivas Los videojuegos de supervivencia han asimilado tropos comunes (otredad, muerte, villanos) que se solapan con los mundos postapocalípticos poblados de zombis, como en el escenario distópico de The Last of Us (TLOU).

Lo Vegetal Y Lo Monstruoso A Través De Los Trífidos De John Wyndham, Carlos Fernández-Rodríguez, Luis M. Romero-Rodríguez

Artículos científicos

La unión de los monstruos y lo vegetal en el género fantástico ha sido una forma de trasladar la presencia de lo primitivo, lo antiguo y lo siniestro. Desde la mandrágora hasta los trífidos, la representación de las plantas como figuras monstruosas ha resultado un reflejo de los sentimientos más negativos del ser humano y de la falacia que supone la sensación de control o poder sobre la naturaleza. En esta línea, el objetivo de este artículo ha sido examinar cómo John Wyndham representó la monstruosidad vegetal en El día de los trífidos. Para tal fin se ha empleado un …

Casting Spells On The Economy: The Economic Impact Of A Wizarding School On A National Economy, Kristen A. Blazek

All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications

The Wizarding World is cloaked in mystery, a secret society of dragons, spells, and broomsticks. Living beyond the ordinary in the back alleys and behind the veil, what are the economic impacts of having one of the few wizarding schools, and how does that compare to the economic impact of the traditional American college? Unlike traditional American Colleges, Wizarding schools do not need to pay for electricity or offer WIFI; however, they still need to purchase food, books, and supplies. The recent increase in liberal arts colleges and universities closing in the United States has significantly impacted the economy. Nortre …

Heat Camps: Juvenile Curfews, Extreme Heat & The Eighth Amendment, Norrinda Brown

Washington and Lee Law Review

For decades, in the summertime, America has confined certain of its youth in what are essentially open-air heat camps. In city after city, camp-form is established through the enactment of warm-weather juvenile curfews which keep the youth at home or in state-sponsored centers during summer nights and, increasingly, during days as well. Local governments justify these curfews with general notions of “public safety,” including to protect the youth they confine. But the laws are not benevolent. Reducing youth mobility by curfew results in exclusion, oversurveillance, and potentially lethal heat punishment of the youth, possibly in violation of the Eighth Amendment. …

The Children’S Lawsuits: Building A Global Movement In Law And Society, Mary Christina Wood

Washington and Lee Law Review

This essay describes the Atmospheric Trust Litigation (ATL) campaign, spearheaded by Our Children’s Trust, consisting of climate cases brought by youth premised on the public trust principle and, later, on express constitutional rights. The essay characterizes the cases as (1) accomplishing a “rights turn” in environmental law by invoking constitutional claims rather than statutory claims that previously marked almost all environmental litigation; (2) establishing a unified global framework of climate responsibility by depicting the planet’s atmosphere as a global public trust asset which all governments have an obligation to protect; and (3) galvanizing a youth climate movement centered on the …

Child/Youth Climate Litigation: Tracking Children’S Rights And Children’S Impact, Aoife Daly, Liesl Muller

Washington and Lee Law Review

Children and youth have been engaging extensively in climate action around the world. They have been doing this by protesting in the streets, talking with governments, and most recently by taking climate litigation against governments and companies. In this Article, these climate cases are considered from a children’s rights perspective. Using the Youth Climate Justice database, fifty cases are analyzed to consider two aspects of climate litigation—the children’s rights involved in the case, and the significance of the outcomes of the cases. It is concluded that climate cases are a new form of child participation in society, and that child …

Alabama’S Ivf Immunity Law: A Constitutional License To Kill?, Dani Wasshausen

Washington and Lee Law Review

In today’s post-Dobbs world, states may freely define fetal “persons” and those fundamental rights afforded to them, but not without consequence. The Supreme Court of Alabama’s groundbreaking decision in LePage v. Center for Reproductive Medicine, P.C., holding that frozen embryos are “children” under the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act, led fertility clinics and services across the state to close. These in vitro fertilization (IVF) providers feared liability exposure because their standard practices—including embryonic fertilization, testing, cryopreservation, and transfer—inevitably result in damage or death to embryos. The Alabama Legislature swiftly responded by enacting a law granting broad civil and criminal …
