The Human Rights Enterprise And Women’S Rights Organizing, Barret Katuna

Societies Without Borders

The highly-contested discourse of human rights figures prominently in the pronouncements of the United Nations, nation-states, and civil society entities. As a result, the human rights label may be applied to activist networks that do not necessarily characterize themselves as human rights networks. Yet, the principles of these networks clearly align with rights-based human dignity claims. How does human rights terminology impact analyses of activist organizations? How might organizations respond to this labeling? Furthermore, what are the methodological lessons to be learned from this process? In this article, I examine one case that highlights my application of a human rights …


An American Sociologist In Iran, John L. Hammond 2012 Hunter College and Graduate Center—City University of New York

An American Sociologist In Iran, John L. Hammond

Societies Without Borders

I was invited to a conference in Tehran on Occupy Wall Street. I was hesitant to accept because I feared that my criticisms of US policy through the lens of OWS might lend support to the oppressive Iranian regime, but I thought it might be an opportunity to express solidarity with the Iranian people against possible US or Israeli aggression. In the end I decided to go and found it an eye-opening experience. On my return I was attacked as a terrorist by apologists for Israel and censored by Tehran University because, in a paper I submitted at the conference …

What Does A Sociology Without Borders Look Like?, Tanya Golash-Boza

Societies Without Borders

In this essay, I consider what a sociology without borders would look like through an exploration of two questions: 1) How can sociology be mobilized to make the world a better place? and 2) What does a sociology of human rights look like? To answer these questions, I take the reader through a discussion of the history of Sociologists without Borders, the influence of Professor Judith Blau, and my own excursions into the sociology of human rights in the United States and abroad.


Exchange As A Cornerstone Of Families, Martha M. Ertman 2012 University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law

Exchange As A Cornerstone Of Families, Martha M. Ertman

Faculty Scholarship

This essay up-ends critical theorist Ivan Illich’s critique of economic thinking as replacing households defined by vernacular gender with married pairs in “inhumane” sex-neutral economic partnerships. It challenges Illich’s view of exchange as a destroyer that has meddled in families for only a few hundred years, citing sociobiological literature to counter his case against exchange with one valorizing two exchanges that I call “primal deals” that played crucial roles in the evolution of humans, families, and day-to-day life. These primal deals—especially the primal pair-bonding deal between men and women—continue to play a central role in families and family law today. …

Saving Their Own Souls: How Rluipa Failed To Deliver On Its Promises, Sarah Gerwig-Moore 2012 Mercer University School of Law

Saving Their Own Souls: How Rluipa Failed To Deliver On Its Promises, Sarah Gerwig-Moore

Articles

In the summer of 2001, as a graduate student in law and theology, I began work on a master’s thesis that examined the predicament of men of faith on San Quentin’s Condemned Row. I was working in the California Appellate Project—mostly assisting with direct appeals and state habeas petitions on behalf of men under a death sentence—when a colleague guided me into theological conversations with some of our clients. On Condemned Row, they waited—up to five years to be assigned a court-appointed appellate attorney, on judges’ rulings, and to find whether the legal system would ultimately exact the penalty it …
