Presumed Incompetent: The Intersections Of Race And Class For Women In Academia, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Presumed Incompetent: The Intersections Of Race And Class For Women In Academia, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
Presumed Incompetent is a pathbreaking account of the intersecting roles of race, gender, and class in the working lives of women faculty of color. Through personal narratives and qualitative empirical studies, more than 40 authors expose the daunting challenges faced by academic women of color as they navigate the often hostile terrain of higher education, including hiring, promotion, tenure, and relations with students, colleagues, and administrators. The narratives are filled with wit, wisdom, and concrete recommendations, and provide a window into the struggles of professional women in a racially stratified but increasingly multicultural America. The downloadable document contains the Introduction …
Debtor’S Prison In The Neoliberal State: “Debtfare” And The Cultural Logics Of The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention And Consumer Protection Act Of 2005, Linda E. Coco
Linda E. Coco
The enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (“BAPCPA”) of 2005, amending the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, marks a transformation in bankruptcy law and policy that is representative of larger shifts in dominant economic and political models from “embedded liberalism” to free market “neoliberalism.” BAPCPA’s provisions are part of the new practices of the emergent neoliberal state as they relate to the American middle class segment of the population. In disciplining the middle class, BAPCPA shifts the risk and the responsibility of the lending relationship onto consumer debtors. BAPCPA does this by keeping financially distressed individuals …

Feminism In The Global Political Economy: Contradiction And Consensus In Cuba, Deborah M. Weissman
Feminism In The Global Political Economy: Contradiction And Consensus In Cuba, Deborah M. Weissman
Deborah M. Weissman
Much has been written about transnational feminist networks and their impacts on the local condition of women. Transborder feminist organizing has reshaped discourses and practice from the local to the international. Global feminist endeavors have influenced the development of international legal standards affecting the circumstances of women and contributed to the gender mainstreaming of human rights initiatives. At the same time, feminist transnationalism has often been identified as the source of tension as efforts have at times resulted in support for a neoliberal agenda propounding empowerment and self-esteem issues, which in turn, has raised questions about who is defining the …

One of the topics addressed is the importance of forging supportive networks to transform the workplace and create a more hospitable environment for traditionally subordinated groups. The narratives are filled with wit, wisdom, and …
Inscripción Automática Y Voto Voluntario, Pablo Marshall
Inscripción Automática Y Voto Voluntario, Pablo Marshall
Pablo Marshall
Este trabajo analiza las implicancias legales y políticas de la reforma del sistema de votación. La primera parte, jurídica, expone los cambios que se siguen de la transformación del voto obligatorio en voluntario y de la inscripción voluntaria en automática, observando algunos problemas que deberán ser abordados en el futuro. La segunda parte, política, presenta una tesis interpretativa de la reforma que sugiere que ella es un avance de la lógica liberal sobre la lógica democrática en nuestra Constitución y, sobre todo, del proyecto político neoliberal, cuyo objetivo es la completa despolitización de nuestra comunidad.
