Based on original ethnographic material collected in an upper-middle class Chinese American community, this book aims at exploring the complicated identity production process within the community in relation to the rapidly changing global and local contexts. The book is expected to expand the scope of existing literature on identity production among immigrants of color in both empirical and methodological terms

In this study I will attempt to provide the readers a clear overview of Albanian legislation in the field of penal mediation, further referring to mediation in the framework of juvenile delinquency which is its specific scope. Criminal acts cause serious consequences to both the victims and offenders. Accordingly, there is a need to further explore their deviant behavior for the purpose of rectification and rehabilitation. Thus, mediation becomes an incentive for rehabilitation of the victim and of the accused. A criminal imprisonment sentence against the accused often causes their depersonalization and creates an insurmountable distance between the convict and the social community he/she belongs to. Mediation in criminal matters as provided for in the Albanian legislation in force encompasses the possibility of litigants to resolve conflicts between them through accountable cooperation in order to find an amicable settlement. The mediator gives room to conduct negotiations in criminal matters. Though, the scope of application of penal mediation, not only in Albania but beyond, is unfortunately limited to a restricted number of provisions, mainly referring to criminal contraventions.

Everyone is under stress trying to cope with the novel coronavirus pandemic, but students are especially vulnerable: Theyve lost access to their friends, their campus communities, and the structure and rhythm of the academic year. This report points out ways in which faculty members can help students cope. Professors, after all, are on the front lines, even if that line is now a virtual one. ; The Chronicle of Higher Education

[Resumen] Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) fue una socióloga inglesa fundadora, frecuentemente ausente del canon sociológico histórico estudiado en las facultades de Sociología. Por ser una mujer cultivada y autodidacta del siglo XIX, racionalista disidente y ajena a la Iglesia Anglicana, fue excluida de la historia, cuando la disciplina sociológica tomó forma unas décadas después de su muerte. Este artículo rescata su figura para el mundo hispanohablante. El estudio de su obra permite ensanchar los orígenes de la teoría sociológica y contribuye a ampliar la arqueología intelectual del alumnado universitario. Household Education (1849), analizada en este artículo, es su principal obra dentro del campo la Sociología de la Educación. La Teoría Crítica Feminista, la Etnografía Institucional y elementos del Análisis Sociológico del Discurso constituirán los marcos teóricos y metodológicos de referencia en este artículo de investigación. La escuela doméstica de instrucción mutua, basada en un grupo doméstico ampliado regido por la igualdad, es el gran compromiso de esta autora para democratizar la familia y la sociedad. ; [Abstract] Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) was a founding English sociologist, often absent from the historical sociological canon studied in Sociology faculties.

This article rescues her figure for the Spanish-speaking world. The study of her work allows us to expand the origins of sociological theory, which facilitates the broadening of the intellectual archaeology of university students. Household Education (1849), analyzed in this article, is her main work within the field of Sociology of Education. Feminist Critical Theory, Institutional Ethnography and elements of Sociological Discourse Analysis will constitute the theoretical and methodological frameworks of reference in ...
