Endangered Heritage And Emergent Ogogo: A Case Study Of The “Ulwazi Programme”, Emily Kwong
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Kwesukesukela, or “a long time ago,” there was a beautiful woman who lived by the ocean with her husband and two small children. The woman’s name was Mazanendaba. Although she lived a life full of happiness, Mazanendaba came to realize with time that something important was missing: there were no stories. No stories for mothers and grandmothers to tell their children. No stories to inspire joy and ease sorrow. No stories to enrich the mind and nurture the soul. Determined to find stories in a world without any, Mazanendaba left her beloved home in search of a new story to …
Zenga Zenga, Tente Tente: Can Tunisian Humanitarian Efforts Save And Preserve The Ideals Of The Revolution?, Ava Hess
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
“We are a part of the revolution, even if we are five or six hundred kilometers from Tunis, ” though the muggy tent I am sitting in feels like it could be much further than several hundred kilometers from the country’s capital or indeed from any city of today’s world. In fact, my mind wanders in a heat haze, it feels like it could even be on a different planet… “We are a part of it,” he repeats. Outside, I can hear the determined desert winds raise sand high up and into the clouds, covering the landscape in a filmy, …
Duality In Bouazizi: Appraising The Contradiction, Alec Jacobson
Duality In Bouazizi: Appraising The Contradiction, Alec Jacobson
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
We know that Mohammed Bouazizi lived in Sidi Bouzid and that he was often the sole income for a poor family. We know that he sold fruit from a cart and that, while vending on December 17th, 2010, he had an altercation with the police, and later doused himself in flammable liquid in front of the municipal offices and struck a match. There are some who know more – childhood friends, neighbors, customers, cousins – who knew the man and interacted with him over the course of his relatively short life. But for us, the general public of …
Sostenibilidad Y Autogestión En Programas De Seguridad Alimentaria En Nicaragua, Katherine Finnegan
Sostenibilidad Y Autogestión En Programas De Seguridad Alimentaria En Nicaragua, Katherine Finnegan
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) estimó que en 2010 había novecientos veintidós millones de personas subnutridas en el mundo.[1] Ya tenemos bastante viviendo subtnutridas mientras el porcentaje más pequeña está viviendo en exceso y con doscientos diecinueve mil personas añadidas a “la mesa de cena mundial”, es imperativo que buscamos la clave al acceso alimentario para todos.[2]
Yo decidí investigar la seguridad alimentaria en Nicaragua porque no creo en estas injusticias. Además no creo en la injusticia de alimentos, especialmente en un país como Nicaragua que tiene bastantes recursos. Yo …
¡El Machismo Mata! Promoviendo Una Masculinidad Libre De Violencia, Olivia Bergman
¡El Machismo Mata! Promoviendo Una Masculinidad Libre De Violencia, Olivia Bergman
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Al escuchar la declaración ‘¡el machismo mata!’, es muy probable que uno inmediatamente piense en las miles de mujeres que anualmente son asesinadas por el elemental hecho de haber nacido mujer. El pueblo nicaragüense está muy familiarizado con esta violencia contra las mujeres, porque “en Nicaragua, las muertes violentas de éstas han crecido en número y crueldad durante los últimos años.”[1] Solamente durante el primer trimestre de 2011 hubo 28 femicidios en Nicaragua - el número más alto nunca registrado, más del doble del número de mujeres asesinadas en la misma temporada de 2010.[2]
Sin embargo, cuando decidí titular este …
