Looking At Participatory Planning In Cuba… Through An Art Deco Window, Marie Kennedy, Lorna Rivera, Chris Tilly Dec 2002

Looking At Participatory Planning In Cuba… Through An Art Deco Window, Marie Kennedy, Lorna Rivera, Chris Tilly

Lorna Rivera

Last January we sat with about thirty Cubans in a community arts center in Boyeros, on the outskirts of Havana, Cuba. The group included artists, teachers, social workers, government officials, architects, engineers and health professionals, all working in Boyeros. We were leading a three-day participatory planning workshop to help this group identify ways that the 1930s Art Deco arts center, currently under renovation, could be used to spark broader community development.

As the first day drew to a close, we felt good about the day’s work. We had turned the Cubans loose in a small group exercise that used art …

A Primer On Agricultural Communications For Student, Librarians And Researchers, Joseph Zumalt Dec 2002

A Primer On Agricultural Communications For Student, Librarians And Researchers, Joseph Zumalt

Joseph R. Zumalt

The article focuses on a primer on agricultural communications for student, librarians and researchers. Universities, libraries and librarians have served as partners to assist working professionals in all fields in agriculture. Universities have helped educate agriculture professionals. Universities have helped to create new knowledge. Libraries, especially at land grant institutions, have played a crucial role in disseminating this new knowledge and, increasingly, are seen as the logical place for archival activities, given the public nature of much of this knowledge. Universities and libraries have specifically played an important part in agricultural communications. While demographic changes in Western society, a switch …

Regulation Of Preventive And Premptive Use Of Force In The United Nations Charter: A Search For Original Intent, Timothy Kearley Dec 2002

Regulation Of Preventive And Premptive Use Of Force In The United Nations Charter: A Search For Original Intent, Timothy Kearley

Timothy G. Kearley

This article investigates whether the drafters of the United Nations Charter intended to permit a state to use force in self defense, either preventatively or preemptively, before that state has been the victim of an armed attack. It makes extensive use of a source not much used previously--the volume in the Foreign Relations of the United States series that includes the minutes of the U.S. delegation to the U.N. Conference on International Organization at which the Charter was drafted, and in which the U.S. delegation played a key role in drafting Article 51, the self defense provision.

Speech, Language, And Hearing Disorders In A University Clinic In Brazil, Joan Payne Dec 2002

Speech, Language, And Hearing Disorders In A University Clinic In Brazil, Joan Payne

Joan Payne

To date, few studies have described speech, language, or hearing disorders or services in South America. This investigation was conducted as an examination of nearly 5,000 clinical records from a 3-year period in a university speech, hearing, and language clinic at the Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná in Curitiba, Brazil. The findings document that hearing loss from middle ear and sensorineural pathologies was the predominant communication disorder (N=4,728). Speech and language disorders from a variety of causes were diagnosed and treated in a small percentage of the client population (n=194). This is in sharp contrast to many of the client populations …

In The Deep Valley With Mountains To Climb: Exploring Identity And Multiple Reacculturation, Chukwuka Onwumechili, Peter Nwosu, Ronald Jackson, Jacqueline James-Hughes Dec 2002

In The Deep Valley With Mountains To Climb: Exploring Identity And Multiple Reacculturation, Chukwuka Onwumechili, Peter Nwosu, Ronald Jackson, Jacqueline James-Hughes

Chukwuka Onwumechili

It is rare to find studies that focus on the multiple reacculturation of travelers who regularly alternate residences between their homeland and a host foreign country. These travelers are best described as intercultural transients. It is difficult to exactly say how many transients exist today because of the lack of accurate data. What is clear, however, is that the number is increasing because of improved global transportation and the large economic gaps between nations (World Telecommunications Development Report, Author, 1994). In an effort to extend general knowledge as well as consequences of intercultural adjustment, this conceptual-theoretic study facilitates understanding of …

Mothering, Crime And Incarceration, Kathleen J. Ferraro, Angela M. Moe Dec 2002

Mothering, Crime And Incarceration, Kathleen J. Ferraro, Angela M. Moe

Angela M. Moe

This article examines the relationships between mothering, crime, and incarceration through the narratives of thirty women incarcerated in a southwestern county jail. The responsibilities of child care, combined with the burdens of economic marginality and domestic violence, led some women to choose economic crimes or drug dealing as an alternative to hunger and homelessness. Other women, arrested for drug- or alcohol-related crimes, related their offenses to the psychological pain and despair resulting from loss of custody of their children. Many women were incarcerated for minor probation violations that often related to the conflict between work, child care, and probation requirements. …

Margins Of Difference: Constructing Critical Political Psychology, Paul W. Nesbitt-Larking Dec 2002

Margins Of Difference: Constructing Critical Political Psychology, Paul W. Nesbitt-Larking

Paul W Nesbitt-Larking

This article sets out elements of discourse and rhetorical analysis in social psychology, followed by an elaboration of three key contributions of these approaches to critical political psychology. The first contribution urges researchers to pay attention to both their own and others’ ideological orientations. The second contribution addresses the artificial dualism of individual and society and how to transcend such oppositions. The third contribution is toward cross-cultural political psychology and the possibilities of political psychology beyond the framework of possessive individualism.

Complexes And Political Complexity: Canadian Contributions To Political Psychology, Paul W. Nesbitt-Larking Dec 2002

Complexes And Political Complexity: Canadian Contributions To Political Psychology, Paul W. Nesbitt-Larking

Paul W Nesbitt-Larking

While it remains a diffuse field of enquiry, political psychology has established itself as an important approach to the analysis of political life. In the United States, political psychology is offered as an optional programme in a number of leading graduate schools and is a recognized subfield of the American Political Science Association. Despite the existence of a number of active political psychologists in Canada, there has been relatively little curiosity about the status of the field. This article offers an account of research in the field. Central to this exploration is an evaluation of the ideological, cultural and substantive …

Mammy, Jezebel, And Sapphire: Developing An "Oppositional Gaze" Toward The Images Of Black Women, Carolyn M. West Dec 2002

Mammy, Jezebel, And Sapphire: Developing An "Oppositional Gaze" Toward The Images Of Black Women, Carolyn M. West

Carolyn M. West

First, I will begin with a brief historical overview, which discusses why these images were created and why they persist. Second, I will explore how these images may influence the psychological functioning of some Black women. Specifically, I will discuss how the Mammy image can contribute to role strain, which is the challenge of balancing multiple roles, concerns about physical features, including skin color, hair texture, and weight. Next, I will discuss how the Jezebel image shapes perceptions of Black women's sexuality and victimization. Finally, I will explore how Black women's expression of anger is shaped by the Sapphire image.

Position-Taking And Cosponsorship In The U.S. House, Gregory Koger Dec 2002

Position-Taking And Cosponsorship In The U.S. House, Gregory Koger

Gregory Koger

Bill cosponsorship has become an important part of the legislative and electoral process in the modern House of Representatives. Using interviews with congressional members and staff, I explain the role of cosponsorship as a signal to agenda setters and a form of position taking for constituents. Regression analysis confirms that cosponsoring varies with a member's electoral circumstances, institutional position, and state size, but generally members have adapted slowly to the introduction of cosponsorship to the rules and practice of the House.

Hiding In Plain Sight: A Practical Guide To Identifying Victims Of Trafficking In The United States, Donna M. Hughes Dr. Dec 2002

Hiding In Plain Sight: A Practical Guide To Identifying Victims Of Trafficking In The United States, Donna M. Hughes Dr.

Donna M. Hughes

This practical guide focuses on identifying victims of sexual trafficking, meaning they have been
trafficked for commercial sex acts, such as prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation, such as
stripping, lap dancing, or production of pornography. Although there are commonalities between
victims of sexual and labor trafficking, there are sufficient differences to require separate focus.
Therefore, this guide does not describe ways to identify victims who have been trafficked for forced
labor, such as domestic servants and sweat shop or migrant farm workers.

Stretching Conceptual Structures In Classifications Across Languages And Cultures., Barbara H. Kwasnik, Victoria L. Rubin Dec 2002

Stretching Conceptual Structures In Classifications Across Languages And Cultures., Barbara H. Kwasnik, Victoria L. Rubin

Victoria Rubin

The authors describe the difficulties of translating classifications from a source language and culture to another language and culture. To demonstrate these problems, kinship terms and concepts from native speakers of fourteen languages were collected and analyzed to find differences between their terms and structures and those used in English. Using the representations of kinship terms in the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) and the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) as examples, the authors identified the source of possible lack of mapping between the domain of kinship in the fourteen languages studied and the LCC and DDC. Finally, some preliminary suggestions …

Malign Neglect Or Benign Respect: Women's Health Care In A Carceral Setting, Angela M. Moe, Kathleen J. Ferraro Dec 2002

Malign Neglect Or Benign Respect: Women's Health Care In A Carceral Setting, Angela M. Moe, Kathleen J. Ferraro

Angela M. Moe

A central tenet of feminist criminological scholarship is the examination of women's experiences with crime and incarceration through their own narratives. Through semi-structured interviews with thirty jailed women, this article examines carceral conditions through the critical lens of the female inmate. Highlighted in this article is the availability and quality of health care in a detention center in Arizona. The findings indicate a contentious duality, exposing both heinous neglect and benign solicitude in the care delivered to jailed women. This duality is situated within the dismal health care system available to indigent women in the region.

Legislative Terrorism: A Primer For The Non-Islamic State; Secularism And Different Believers, Gwendolyn Yvonne Alexis Dec 2002

Legislative Terrorism: A Primer For The Non-Islamic State; Secularism And Different Believers, Gwendolyn Yvonne Alexis

Gwendolyn Yvonne Alexis

In industrial societies where civil law and state institutions have become well-established secular vehicles for governing the populace, it is widely assumed that the state no longer has an interest in fortifying the religious sector as a complementary source of social control. Thus, a distinction is drawn between the Islamic state that is ruled by religious law and the secular state of Western industrial societies in which religion is deemed to have lost its influence in the public sphere. This dissertation argues that civil law is not religiously neutral and thus challenges a central premise of secularization theory. Introducing a …

From Behavior To Culture: An Assessment Of Cultural Evolution And A New Synthesis, Dwight W. Read

Dwight W Read

Three approaches to cultural evolution—sociobiology, dual inheritance, and memes—are reviewed and it is shown that each makes use of an incomplete notion of what constitutes culture.
