"Nos tienen miedo porque no tenemos miedo / Están atrás / van para atrás / piensan atrás / son el atrás están detrás de su armadura militar. Nos ven reír / nos ven luchar / nos ven amar / nos ven jugar nos ven detrás de su armadura militar". Esta canción, de la argentina Liliana Felipe, acompaña muchas de las acciones de la resistencia hondureña. Y refleja el sentir de las mujeres que van en las marchas de la resistencia. (Envío/GIGA)

Asian American Youth, the Dance Scene, and Club Drugs
In: Journal of drug issues: JDI, Band 35, Heft 4, S. 695-731
ISSN: 1945-1369
The available research data on young Asian American drug use is relatively limited compared to the availability of research on other major ethnic groups. Today more published data have highlighted the extent to which drug use is significant and rising in Asian American communities. From our ongoing research on the social context of ecstasy and other club drug use in the San Francisco Bay Area, we analyze data from a total of 56 face-to-face interviews with young Asian American club and rave attendees. We explore the development of a distinctive Asian American experience, in order to understand the attraction of club drugs and the dance scene. We examine the specific social groupings in which they operate, the types of social events they attend, and the nature of their club drug use. We highlight some of the ways in which they construct and express their identities around these social groupings, in terms of ethnic and socio-cultural distinctions as well as other cultural commodities.
The Kāhea to Return Home: Diasporic Kānaka ʻŌiwi and Higher Education
In: Journal committed to social change on race and ethnicity: JCSCORE : the journal of the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education, Band 10, Heft 1, S. 130-140
ISSN: 2642-2387
This paper explores the perspectives of two Kānaka ʻŌiwi wāhine (Native Hawaiian women) born and raised in the diaspora and their journeys in navigating their way back home to Hawaiʻi. The modern usage of the term diaspora, in the context of Kānaka ʻŌiwi, is used to describe Native Hawaiians who were born or who have spent significant time outside of Hawaiʻi. However, from a Hawaiian worldview, our kūpuna (ancestors) made us Kānaka ʻŌiwi. We share our stories of being born and raised in the diaspora and what that meant for us as Kānaka ʻŌiwi. In telling our story, we center our shared experience of utilizing the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UH Mānoa) as a means to make our way home. We share the development of our shared kuleana (responsibility and privileges) to address a need to create a space and form a hui for haumāna with shared experiences of diaspora. With the help of Native Hawaiian Student Services (NHSS), we had the privilege to connect with our fellow diasporic Kānaka ʻŌiwi haumāna (students) to establish the Native Hawaiian Diaspora Association. We hope to bring more awareness to the increasing amount of diasporic Kānaka ʻŌiwi at UH Mānoa and the importance of a space like the Native Hawaiian Diaspora Association in serving the unique needs of our students. For UH Mānoa to become a Native Hawaiian Place of Learning, it must recognize, honor, and support the many diasporic Kānaka ʻŌiwi haumāna who receive the kāhea to return home.
A Letter from the Guest Editors: Meditation on Hawai`i as the Piko
In: Journal committed to social change on race and ethnicity: JCSCORE : the journal of the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education, Band 10, Heft 1, S. 7-13
ISSN: 2642-2387
This special issue is to engage the NCORE community in respectful and joyful dialogues, situating your temporary presence in Hawaiʻi within the broader historical, social, cultural, and political contexts influencing the education and well-being of our people. The articles featured in this special issue are arranged in honor of the piko from which we draw inspiration, radiating from the center of our physical and metaphorical landscape and land-sea continuum outwards into our oceanscapes.
A Framework for Identifying Sequences of Interactions That Cause Usability Problems in Collaborative Systems
Collaborative systems support shared spaces, where groups of users exchange interactions. In order to ensure the usability of these systems, an intuitive interactions´ organization and that each user has awareness information to know the activity of others are necessary. Usability laboratories allow evaluators to verify these requirements. However, laboratory usability evaluations can be problematic for reproducing mobile and ubiquitous contexts, as they restrict the place and time in which the user interacts with the system. This paper presents a framework for building software support that it collects human?machine interactions in mobile and ubiquitous contexts and outputs an assessment of the system´s usability. This framework is constructed through learning that is based on neural networks, identifying sequences of interactions related to usability problems when users carry out collaborative activities. The paper includes a case study that puts the framework into action during the development process of a smartphone application that supports collaborative sport betting. ; This research and the APC was funded by the University of Cantabria and the Government of Cantabria through the industrial doctorate grant DI27, given to Santos Bringas. Alicia Nieto-Reyes was supported by a Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades grant MTM2017-86061-C2-2-P.
