"This book brings together social semiotics, cultural studies, multiliteracies, and other approaches in order to theorize very different learning environments, giving visibility to the modal effect in a range of disciplines. It highlights the ideological nature of discursive practices, examines questions of access, and argues for transformation of these practices, with a constant eye on issues of social justice and equity. Contributors argue that we can harness learners' representational resources through making these resources visible, and creating less regulated spaces in the curriculum in which they can be used. Examples from primary education through to adult continuing education are used throughout the text"--
In response to van Waarden's paper, which denied the possibility of horizontal tolerance between citizens, I argue that tolerance is both possible and often desirable between citizens. I also argue that a more substantive set of constraints are required for justice to be served than mere deference to whatever existing constitutions and laws happen to demand. Furthermore, where van Waarden suggested that politics consists of "a process of negotiating, bargaining, and compromising among groups with conflicting interests," it is hard to see how this vision could motivate any educational intervention to promote people's abilities to speak up for themselves. Put starkly: it is not at all clear why anyone has reason to educate others to potentially outlaw their own way of life on their understanding. I urge instead that the attitude of tolerance be promoted on both Rawlsian and Millian grounds.
Paralleling the growth of the U.S. criminal justice system in recent decades, American families have increasingly experienced a social disaster of parents, and subsequently their children, undergoing imprisonment. Adopting a life course perspective to examine the likely drivers of the intergenerational transmission of offending and incarceration, we contextualize the development of antisocial behavior in an era of mass imprisonment. In doing so, we draw from the literature on the sociology of disasters to examine how traumas related to intergenerational incarceration may be both understood and ameliorated through appropriate policies and interventions. We argue that it is possible to better frame how risk factors for antisocial behavior, such as prenatal maternal stress, exposure to trauma, and deviant peer groups, may be integrated with factors that promote resilience and recovery. This includes improving safety, self-efficacy, and connectedness to prevent intergenerational offending and incarceration and facilitate desistance. By framing mass incarceration as a social disaster, a multifaceted, comprehensive approach takes on new urgency so as to reduce the prevalence of intergenerational offending and incarceration among millions of families in the United States.
Las injusticias originadas por la inequidad en el acceso a bienes ambientales y la desproporción en las consecuencias de la contaminación y destrucción del ambiente que impacta negativamente a la humanidad, especialmente a los excluidos de los 'beneficios' del sistema de producción imperante, han sumergido a la sociedad en un escenario de crisis ambiental. La preocupación por superar ese estado de crisis, ha motivado la necesidad de buscar soluciones a dichas injusticias. A finales del siglo XX, desde distintos ámbitos sociales y culturales, se ha venido consolidando la idea de la justicia ambiental como instrumento para contrarrestar y corregir las situaciones de desequilibrio ambiental, tanto desde la lucha de los movimientos sociales contra el racismo ambiental, como a partir de los esfuerzos teóricos por integrar los contenidos ambientales a la teoría liberal de la justicia. En diferentes lugares del mundo, teóricos de la filosofía política, la sociología, la ecología política, la ética y el derecho, así como representantes de movimientos sociales de diferentes corrientes, han buscado en la expresión 'Justicia Ambiental' un sustento para sus reflexiones y reivindicaciones. Esta investigación procura agrupar todos aquellos significados que se han otorgado a la justicia ambiental, desde su nacimiento hasta los tiempos actuales, en los que su incorporación como guía de acción de las actividades humanas, constituye la única esperanza ética de sostenibilidad digna de la especie. En esa perspectiva, transita desde las elaboraciones más sencillas hasta las construcciones teóricas que la abordan en toda su complejidad, para determinar las formas más adecuadas de su aplicación en el contexto colombiano y concretar la conjunción de todos sus elementos en un lugar, momento y situación específicos, representado por las decisiones judiciales que en materia ambiental ha proferido la Corte Constitucional colombiana durante los últimos años, análisis mediante el cual se evidencia la dimensión de la justicia ambiental como de proyecto de ejecución humana. / Abstract. The injustices caused by inequality in access to environmental goods and the disproportion of the consequences of pollution and environmental destruction that impacts negatively on humanity, especially those excluded from the 'benefits' of the predominant production system, have plunged society in a context of environmental crisis The concern to overcome this state of crisis has prompted the need to seek solutions to these injustices. In the final of twentieth century, from different social and cultural spaces, has been consolidating the idea of environmental justice as a means to counteract and correct situations of environmental imbalance, in the struggle of social movements against environmental racism, and too in the theoretical efforts to integrate environmental content to liberal theory of justice From different parts of the world, theorists of political philosophy, sociology, political ecology, ethics and law, and representatives of social movements from different streams, have searched in the term 'environmental justice' an income for their thoughts and claims. This research seeks to bring together all those meanings which have been given to environmental justice, from birth to current times in which its incorporation as a guide to action of human activities, is the only one "ethic hope" for worthy sustainability of the specie. In this perspective, the working goes from simple to the theoretical constructs that address the environmental justice in all her complexity, to determine the most suitable forms for application in the Colombian context and specify the conjunction of all elements in one place, moment and specific situation, represented in the court decisions which on environmental matters has issued the Colombian Constitutional Court in recent years, this analysis by which can evidence the dimension of the proposed implementation of environmental justice as human project. ; Maestría
Based on a reading of contemporary philosophical arguments, this book accounts for how punishment has provided audiences with pleasure in different historical contexts. Watching tragedies, contemplating hell, attending executions, or imagining prisons have generated pleasure, according to contemporary observers, in ancient Greece, in medieval Catholic Europe, in the early-modern absolutist states, and in the post-1968 Western world. The pleasure was often judged morally problematic, and raised questions about which desires were satisfied, and what the enjoyment was like. This book offers a research synthesis that ties together existing work on the pleasure of punishment. It considers how the shared joys of punishment gradually disappeared from the public view at a precise historic conjuncture, and explores whether arguments about the carnivalesque character of cruelty can provide support for the continued existence of penal pleasure. Towards the end of this book, the reader will discover, if willing to go along and follow desire to places which are full of pain and suffering, that deeply entwined with the desire for punishment, there is also the desire for social justice. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, philosophy and all those interested in the pleasures of punishment.
McArthur and Smith trace the history of Texas women through four eras. They discuss how women entered the public sphere to work for social reforms and the right to vote during the Progressive era (1900-1920); how they continued working for reform and social justice and for greater opportunities in education and the workforce during the Great Depression and World War II (1920-1945); how African American and Mexican American women fought for labor and civil rights while Anglo women laid the foundation for two-party politics during the postwar years (1945-1965); and how second-wave feminists (1965-2000) promoted diverse and sometimes competing goals, including passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, reproductive freedom, gender equity in sports, and the rise of the New Right and the Republican party

AbstractIn 2020, after George Floyd's murder and with the mobilisation of Black Lives Matter activism, many UK institutions announced social media pledges to tackle racism. The cultural sector promised honest conversations about race, racism and whiteness and offered hope for social justice. However, not long after claims of imminent change on the part of cultural organisations, it went quiet. Conversations about race, racism and whiteness, once again, were not a priority. Rightly, young activists question the performative nature of cultural institutions expressing anti‐racist commitment and social justice values. Drawing upon the experiences of museum education, engagement and activism, the key question addressed in this paper by the author and members of the Our Shared Cultural Heritage Young Collective is: How do young people understand and experience the processes of engaging in education and activism in what they perceive to be overwhelmingly white middle‐class cultural institutions? The authors argue that museums can be useful, relevant and interesting to young people if museum staff actively seek to learn from them through participatory action research. The authors share some highlights, challenges and complexities of our 'youth‐led' work in the heritage sector, in the hope that museums and galleries, as well as other arts and cultural organisations, might learn and benefit from our experiences and knowledge of young people's activism in the heritage sector.

The article is devoted to clarifying the conceptual basis for the development of the consumer market, taking into account the specifics of the current stage of social relations. The authors claim that the interconnections of participants in this market should be built on the principles of efficiency and social justice and be intended on improving the performance of the national economy. The essence of understanding these principles from the point of view of target priorities of activity of suppliers of consumer goods, subjects of trade, the enterprises of real sector of economy which are not directly involved in manufacture of consumer goods, and also activity of financial and credit institutions, the state and interests of the end buyer is opened. The purpose and objectives of the consumer market and the tools for their implementation are outlined. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of price regulation measures and the need for them to comply with the principles of efficiency and social justice. The most important factors of personal consumption goods pricing are considered: supply and demand balance, production and sales costs, consumer value, availability of warehouse stocks, state of the monetary sphere, growth of the global economic integration, application of economic sanctions and competition level. The conclusion was drawn that it is advisable to take a comprehensive approach to studying the stated topics.
Governments and institutions across the globe are conducting vulnerability assessments and developing adaptation plans to confront rapidly changing climatic conditions. Interrelated priorities, including the conservation of biodiversity, ecological restoration, sustainable development, and social justice often underlie these efforts. We collaborated with colleagues in an effort to help guide vulnerability assessment and adaptation (VAA) generally in Southeast Asia and specifically in the watershed of the Sirindhorn International Environmental Park (SIEP) in Phetchaburi Province, Thailand. Reflecting upon our experiences and a review of recent VAA literature, we examine a series of seven questions that help to frame the socio-ecological context for VAAs. We then propose a three-dimensional framework for understanding common orientations of VAAs and how they appear to be shifting and broadening over time, particularly in the USA. For example, key leaders in the SIEP project emphasized social development and community-based approaches over more ecology-centric approaches ; this orientation was consistent with other examples from SE Asia. In contrast, many efforts for US national forests have evaluated vulnerability based on projected shifts in vegetation and have promoted adaptation options based upon ecological restoration. Illustrating a third, highly integrated approach, many VAAs prepared by indigenous tribes in the USA have emphasized restoring historical ecological conditions within a broader context of promoting cultural traditions, social justice, and adaptive capacity. We conclude with lessons learned and suggestions for advancing integrated approaches.
BackgroundThe disparities and inequalities that exists in the education system are perpetuated through behavioral alternative schools (BASs). It is suggested that assignment to a BAS does not significantly improve students' grades but rather leads primarily Black impoverished students through the school-to-prison pipeline.ObjectiveAlthough BASs have existed for more than four decades and continue to enroll annually large populations of America's students, implications for policy, practice, and future research remain relevant.MethodsThis review offers a brief history of BASs and zero tolerance policy (ZTP) in public schools.FindingsThe review offers ZTP recommendations for policy restoration and provides an outline of a four-step process for implementing ZTP fairly and equally.ConclusionsMoving current alternative schools into self-directed learning with social and community supports, not only promotes social justice, but also allows for restoration of ZTP to focus on the undeniable need to keep children of all races safe in school.
Many offenders (both individual and collective) are not subject to legalsanctions. There are rules but rarely enforced it tends to favoritism, nocourts but often a nest of mafia-sale decision, and there is often adifficult decision but the judge executed. Consequently, there is nocertainty that the law is truly objective norms that apply to all. There isno assurance that the process through the courts produce truth andjustice. That is why, difficult to ascertain that the person who is foundguilty, should always be punished. In fact there is a tendency todiscriminatory treatment between the perpetrators of the crime ofordinary citizens and the economically weak with perpetrators of crimescategorized as a strong economy, government officials, and even theperpetrators of environmental law enforcement officers themselves. Asa result of further emerging collective disappointment against legalinstitutions. People lose motivation to obey the law. Society tends tonot believe in the legal process, are not sure to get justice through thelaw, and appeared permissiveness of violations (Tanya, 2011: 5-6).Over the past few years, poverty has widened, many public serviceshave been fraudulently cheating. Not only have people stopped soeasily breaking the law and vigilante without hesitation, corruptiontakes place in every space, the abuse of power continues, scandals arise,reproductive violence everywhere including within the academiccommunity, and people increasingly poor again suffer Without theempathy of the elite and the possessed. This is where the necessity ofCLE is done in the framework of student vision in reality, so thatstudents do not study empty space but more on real observations inthe community, which then conducted the assessment in searching forthe right solution .Such circumstances must necessarily be terminated.All components of the nation must work together to build a communityof love. The republican community inhabited by the children of theemphatic nation is encouraged to give the best for the nation, able topraise the virtues, always live honorably, abstain from harming others,not to hold back what others deserve, and the generosity and love ofothers
"Nicknamed both "Mobtown" and "Charm City" and located on the border of the North and South, Baltimore is a city of contradictions. From media depictions in The Wire to the real-life trial of police officers for the murder of Freddie Gray, Baltimore has become a quintessential example of a struggling American city. Yet the truth about Baltimore is far more complicated--and more fascinating. To help untangle these apparent paradoxes, the editors of Baltimore Revisited have assembled a collection of over thirty experts from inside and outside academia. Together, they reveal that Baltimore has been ground zero for a slew of neoliberal policies, a place where inequality has increased as corporate interests have eagerly privatized public goods and services to maximize profits. But they also uncover how community members resist and reveal a long tradition of Baltimoreans who have fought for social justice. The essays in this collection take readers on a tour through the city's diverse neighborhoods, from the Lumbee Indian community in East Baltimore to the crusade for environmental justice in South Baltimore. Baltimore Revisited examines the city's past, reflects upon the city's present, and envisions the city's future"--
