Rural China, Paul Marsnik
Rural China, Paul Marsnik
Forum, 2012 Spring
In the past 20 years, about 200 million Chinese have moved from the countryside into large cities. Most of them have done so in order to work in factories. After spendeng 5+ years visiting factories in big cities in China, I began to wonder what kind of life these factory workers were leaving behind. So I went out to the country, in rural China, and spent some time with the people who still live there. I created a 30 minute video/slide show highlighting my adventures. We can watch the video and then discuss issues relating to China.

School Closure Decision-Making Processes: Problems And Prospects, Bill Irwin, Mark Seasons
School Closure Decision-Making Processes: Problems And Prospects, Bill Irwin, Mark Seasons
Faculty Publications
This paper explores the issue of the permanent closures of public schools in Ontario. School closure processes are highly (and bitterly) contested, rife with conflict, and with few exceptions, harshly criticized by school and community stakeholders who see closures as a loss of irreplaceable social infrastructure. There is a need for a more nuanced planning style that acknowledges the realities of politics, unequal power relations and the validity of community residents' needs and values.To better understand the consequences of school closures upon communities, the authors evaluate the historical and current school closure decision-making process in Ontario. This entails a four …
The Ngo Handbook Of Volunteer Management Essentials, Ehsan Abushadi, Taylor Moore, Hedayat Selim, Iain Tutwiler
The Ngo Handbook Of Volunteer Management Essentials, Ehsan Abushadi, Taylor Moore, Hedayat Selim, Iain Tutwiler
Papers, Posters, and Presentations
A short handbook that addresses why NGOs need volunteers, how they can benefit from them, how to effectively manage volunteers, tips on how to ensure that volunteers remain a benefit rather than a burden on NGOs, recruitment methods and tools, sample forms, and a list of recommended publications for further reading. This handbook was created as coursework for the community based learning anthropology and sociology course “Third World Development”, at The American University in Cairo, under the instruction of Pandeli Glavanis, during the Fall 2012 semester. It was created using Plan Egypt as our focus group. The inspiration for this …

A Girl’S Path To Prostitution: Linking Caregiver Adversity To Child Susceptibility, Joan A. Reid
A Girl’S Path To Prostitution: Linking Caregiver Adversity To Child Susceptibility, Joan A. Reid
Faculty Books
Although the Trafficking Victims Protection Act defined girls exploited in prostitution as child sex trafficking victims, these youth are often misidentified and marginalized. Due to victim inaccessibility, emergent research regarding the problem lacks theoretical framing or sufficient data for quantitative analysis. This study assesses an intergenerational path from caregiver adversity to child exploitation in prostitution drawn from Agnew’s general strain theory using structural equation modeling. Findings supported the hypotheses, revealing that highly stressed mothers were more likely to abuse their daughters. Consequently, maltreated girls more commonly attempted escape by running away, used substances earlier, and reported higher sexual denigration toward …

Runx2 Tandem Repeats And The Evolution Of Facial Length In Placental Mammals, Marie Pointer, Jason Kamilar, Vera Warmuth, Stephen Chester, Frédéric Delsuc, Nicholas Mundy, Robert Asher, Brenda Bradley
Jason M. Kamilar
Background When simple sequence repeats are integrated into functional genes, they can potentially act as evolutionary ‘tuning knobs’, supplying abundant genetic variation with minimal risk of pleiotropic deleterious effects. The genetic basis of variation in facial shape and length represents a possible example of this phenomenon. Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), which is involved in osteoblast differentiation, contains a functionally-important tandem repeat of glutamine and alanine amino acids. The ratio of glutamines to alanines (the QA ratio) in this protein seemingly influences the regulation of bone development. Notably, in domestic breeds of dog, and in carnivorans in general, the ratio …

'Street Arabs, Gutter Snipes And Waifs': The Problem Of Wayward, Abandonned And Desitute Children In New York City, 1840-1920, Robert G. Waite
Robert G. Waite
The problem of wayward and destitute youths plagued New York City throughout the later 19th century. During these years an estimated 40,000 children lived much of their lives on the streets. A number of civic reformers launched a number of programs to combat these problem, to aid the children. This article focuses on the problem of the wayward youths. The essay is available on-line at the website newyorkhistoryreview.com (see attached) and it will be published in the annual volume for 2012.
Between “Metaphysics Of The Stone Age” And The “Brave New World”: H.L.A. Hart On The Law’S Assumptions About Human Nature, Péter Cserne
Between “Metaphysics Of The Stone Age” And The “Brave New World”: H.L.A. Hart On The Law’S Assumptions About Human Nature, Péter Cserne
Péter Cserne
This paper analyses H.L.A. Hart’s views on the epistemic character of the law’s assumptions about human behaviour, as articulated in Causation in the Law and Punishment and Responsibility. Hart suggests that the assumptions behind legal doctrines typically combine common sense factual beliefs, moral intuitions, and philosophical theories of earlier ages with sound moral principles, and empirical knowledge. An important task of legal theory is to provide a ‘rational and critical foundation’ for these doctrines. This does not only imply conceptual clarification in light of an epistemic ideal of objectivity but also involves legal theorists in ‘enlightenment’ about empirical facts, ‘demystification’ …
