Causes and Consequences of Migrant Criminalization
The book illustrates how the trend of associating migrants and refugees with criminality is on the rise. In political discourses and popular media alike, migrants and refugees are frequently portrayed as being dangerous, while cultures intent on welcoming newcomers are increasingly seen as being naïve, and providing assistance to migrants is more and more frequently subject to administrative or criminal penalties. At the same time, nondemocratic trends and practices that violate human rights and equality are gaining momentum in Europe, the US and Australia. Racism, xenophobia and anti-Islamism are simultaneously becoming more open and public; they are no longer restricted to clandestine pla...
Me Too, Feminist Theory, and Surviving Sexual Violence in the Academy
Powerfully written and theoretically grounded, Me Too, Feminist Theory, and Surviving Sexual Violence in the Academy collects a range of perspectives from sexual assault survivors with backgrounds in academia. The contributors in this collection connect their experiences of sexual violence to their research and work within the academy as well as their lives outside of it. Contributors analyze the events surrounding their experiences with sexual violence as well as the cultural, social, and political effects. Their analyses are located within discussions of recent cultural events and the larger contexts of race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, sexuality, region, and nation.
Born Innocent
Over seven percent of all children in the United States--more than 5 million children--have experienced a parental incarceration, and an estimated 2.7 million children currently have a parent who is incarcerated. An additional 5 million children under age 18 live with at least one parent who is unauthorized to be in the United States and faces deportation. Children and other dependents suffer the collateral consequences of "preventive justice" measures increasingly used by liberal democratic countries to combat a broad range of suspected crime and anti-state activities. But what does the state owe to the innocent dependents of accused caregivers? In Born Innocent, Michael J. Sullivan explore...
Communicating Science
Modern science communication has emerged in the twentieth century as a field of study, a body of practice and a profession—and it is a practice with deep historical roots. We have seen the birth of interactive science centres, the first university actions in teaching and conducting research, and a sharp growth in employment of science communicators. This collection charts the emergence of modern science communication across the world. This is the first volume to map investment around the globe in science centres, university courses and research, publications and conferences as well as tell the national stories of science communication. How did it all begin? How has development varied from one country to another? What motivated governments, institutions and people to see science communication as an answer to questions of the social place of science? Communicating Science describes the pathways followed by 39 different countries. All continents and many cultures are represented. For some countries, this is the first time that their science communication story has been told.
Defying Displacement
A revolutionary new study of gentrification ... and how to stop it. Cities around the world are in the midst of a profound transformation as the wealthy price out the remnants of the urban working class, especially people of color. Displacement is neither accidental or inevitable. It happens because a whole range of people and institutions profit handsomely. Defying Displacement, focused on the US but informed by global examples, investigates gentrification from the perspective of the people fighting it, members of communities whose survival is threatened by some of the most powerful institutions on the planet. Andrew Lee names the names and identifies the actual state and corporate forces t...
Por el derecho a comprender lenguaje claro
Para un efectivo ejercicio de la democracia, los ciudadanos necesitamos entender las leyes y demás comunicados del Estado. Así, requerimos claridad en los textos que recibimos de las empresas —tanto públicas como privadas— para la adecuada defensa de nuestros derechos y el cumplimiento de los deberes. Contrario a esto, es común en la sociedad sentir que los funcionarios son inaccesibles y que los trámites son innecesariamente complejos. De igual forma, la eficiencia de las entidades se ve afectada por no saber comunicarse con los usuarios. El presente libro cuenta cómo un grupo de personas y organizaciones se han preocupado por la falta de claridad en el lenguaje y han actuado para contribuir a hacer realidad el presupuesto jurídico y político del derecho a comprender, con la consecuente responsabilidad para todas las entidades de hacerse comprensibles. Ante la ya existencia de iniciativas mundiales de lenguaje claro, esas personas y organizaciones provenientes de la sociedad civil, la academia y los sectores público y privado se unieron tras considerar que la cooperación facilita el trabajo y permite lograr mejores y mayores resultados.
Metodologías de investigación jurídica : experiencias y desafíos del oficio de investigar en derecho
A pesar de que existen numerosas publicaciones que estudian la metodología en el campo jurídico, son muchos más los textos de derecho que abordan la discusión directa de los contenidos. Ante el evidente predominio bibliográfico del qué sobre el cómo, varios profesores y profesoras de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de los Andes decidieron escribir Metodologías de investigación jurídica para preguntarse cómo realizan, aprenden y reflexionan acerca de las investigaciones que componen sus propias agendas académicas, incluyendo las dimensiones teóricas, prácticas y éticas allí presentes. Así, esta obra se ubica en el universo de las formas metodológicas que suelen acom...
