Born of War in Colombia
Born of War in Colombia addresses why people born of conflict-related sexual violence remain unseen within transitional justice agendas. In Colombia, there are generations of children born of conflict-related sexual violence across the country. Whispers of their presence have traveled outside their communities. They also exist within the country’s domestic reparations program, which entitles them to reparations. Drawing on an immersive feminist ethnography with a community that endured a paramilitary confinement, the book reveals how a past-oriented and harm-centered model of transitional justice has converged with a restricted notion of gendered victimhood and the patriarchal politics of reproduction to render the bodies and experiences of people born of conflict-related sexual violence unintelligible to those seeking to understand and address the consequences of war in Colombia.
The Racialized Nature of Academic Language
"This book explores the marginalisation that EAL learners, immigrant or language-minoritized children and adults confront in various schooling and non-schooling contexts when learning to use the language of schooling. The contributions examine how the notion and practice of academic language has become racialized. In doing so, the authors are not being dismissive of it completely; rather, they scrutinize its presence and impact on individuals' lives as their reality. This book is relevant for teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers who not only refuse the deficiency orientations placed on non-standardized use of language, but also want to deconstruct the perpetuated power standardized academic language holds in the lives of language-minoritized students"--
Governance Feminism
An interdisciplinary, multifaceted look at feminist engagements with governance across the global North and global South Governance Feminism: Notes from the Field brings together nineteen chapters from leading feminist scholars and activists to critically describe and assess contemporary feminist engagements with state and state-like power. Gathering examples from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, it complements and expands on the companion volume Governance Feminism: An Introduction. Its chapters argue that governance feminism (GF) is institutionally diverse and globally distributed—emerging from traditional sites of state power as well as from various forms...
Gender Discrimination in Football. Building a Toolbox Toward Gender Equity in the Beautiful Game
The importance of gender and gender-based categorizations cling to the world of sport like no other realm of culture or society in the twenty-first century. While presented as natural, logical, and innate, the differential treatment of men and women and boys and girls in the world of sport is largely the product of over a century of global socialization intent on preserving sport as a male-dominated pastime, lifestyle, and avenue of opportunity. As the most popular sport worldwide, football (or soccer) may be the poster child for lingering gender disparities in sport. Despite women’s presence on the pitch since the turn of the twentieth century, governments and football associations have p...

La imaginación moral en el tránsito hacia la paz
El documento pretende contribuir al debate sobre la paz territorial a través de la clarificación conceptual de la categoría de imaginación moral desarrollada por Jhon Paul Lederach. Esta categoría se pondrá en diálogo con dos ejercicios de convivencia pacífica que se vienen desarrollando en la subregión de los Montes de María: la Mesa de Interlocución y Concertación, y el Espacio Regional de Construcción de Paz, a fin de conocer los alcances que puede llegar a tener la imaginación moral como herramienta de construcción de paz en el posacuerdo.
¿A quiénes sancionar?
El deber estatal de investigar, juzgar y sancionar graves violaciones a los Derechos Humanos e infracciones al Derecho Internacional Humanitario enfrenta importantes retos en contextos de justicia transicional. La priorización de algunos casos y la selección de los más serios responsables no riñe con el cumplimiento de dicho deber estatal, siempre y cuando el Estado preserve la posibilidad de imponer una sanción efectiva. Las reformas que elevaron a rango constitucional parte del Acuerdo Final de Paz (AFP) facultaron a la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP) para priorizar algunos casos y concentrar el ejercicio de la acción penal en los máximos responsables de los crímenes más ...

Además, busca promover herramientas y reflexiones para actuar en contextos territoriales concretos, pon...
