Baby Jails
“I worked in a trailer that ICE had set aside for conversations between the women and the attorneys. While we talked, their children, most of whom seemed to be between three and eight years old, played with a few toys on the floor. It was hard for me to get my head around the idea of a jail full of toddlers, but there they were.” For decades, advocates for refugee children and families have fought to end the U.S. government’s practice of jailing children and families for months, or even years, until overburdened immigration courts could rule on their claims for asylum. Baby Jails is the history of that legal and political struggle. Philip G. Schrag, the director of Georgetown Universit...
Breasts Across Motherhood: Lived Experiences and Critcal Examinations
Breasts are integral to mothers' bodies; over the life course, they can swell, droop, be judged, be aroused, lactate, be altered, be removed. A woman's own breasts may be foremost in her mind during some life events, only to recede into the background at other times. Breasts are complex; they are enveloped by larger cultural meanings that go far beyond their mammary gland function, and we cannot fully understand breasts without examining the myriad discourses surrounding them. Social policies, cultural norms, and interpersonal interactions all help construct localized breast discourses which, in turn, shape mothers' breast experiences. Through examining commonalities and differences over the lifespan, we can see that women's breast experiences inform us about the social conditions in which women live their lives.

Amèrica Central i del Sud
La proximitat històrica amb els països d'Amèrica Central i del Sud ens fa tenir molts contactes, experiències, i concepcions sobre la seva realitat. A partir d'aquest coneixement previ que tots i totes tenim intentarem aclarir i aprofundir en alguns conceptes i procediments, acostar-nos a la vivència de la història i del desenvolupament actual des de les persones d'aquests països, així com posar en comú les nostres opinions sobre els processos que afecten els països i les persones centre i sud-americans. Intentarem compartir tot el que sabem i visualitzar els estereotips existents en el nostre entorn sobre "Llatinoamèrica" i els "llatinoamericans/es", o, com ho anomenarem a partir d'ara, sobre Amèrica Central i del Sud i les persones centre i sud-americanes.
Transborder Media Spaces
Transborder Media Spaces offers a new perspective on how media forms like photography, video, radio, television, and the Internet have been appropriated by Mexican indigenous people in the light of transnational migration and ethnopolitical movements. In producing and consuming self-determined media genres, actors in Tamazulapam Mixe and its diaspora community in Los Angeles open up media spaces and seek to forge more equal relations both within Mexico and beyond its borders. It is within these spaces that Ayuujk people carve out their own, at times conflicting, visions of development, modernity, gender, and what it means to be indigenous in the twenty-first century.
