Guided by the principle of "leaving no one behind", the world targets to achieve gender equality as part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Through the said SDG, United Nations member-states, like the Philippines, have committed to ensure that the rights and privileges afforded to all citizens are the same regardless of sex. This Policy Note presents current statistics on female representation in key leadership positions in the Philippine government and industry. It reveals a dearth of female representation in senior or lead positions and discusses some recommendations to address this systemic underrepresentation of Filipino women.

Recent waves of global migration have generated significant and unprecedented changes to metropolitan regions of major immigrant settlement. The impacts on these cities are profound, socially, culturally, economically, politically, physically, and environmentally. As the World Migration Report points out, increasing research has been drawn to the relationship between migrants and cities. [1] Cities are playing an important role in the processes of immigrant settlement and integration, because they are not only the reception areas for newcomers to live, work, learn, play, socialize like any other city inhabitants, but also important places for building diverse, inclusive, resilient, and equitable communities in the long run. It has become imperative for municipalities to understand the dynamics and complexity of the global migration phenomenon and tackle the challenges and opportunities it presents locally. This report highlights the key takeaways from Toronto's planning practices as part of the Building Inclusive Cities initiative. [1]. Duncan, H. and Popp, I. 2017.

Vital Subjects: Race and Biopolitics in Italy is an interdisciplinary study of how racial and colonial discourses shaped the "making" of Italians as modern political subjects in the years between its administrative unification (1861-1870) and the end of the First World War (1919) ; Drawing on a range of canonical and non-canonical literary, cinematic and social scientific texts produced in post-Unification Italy, Vital Subjects: Race and Biopolitics in Italy is an interdisciplinary study of how racial and colonial discourses shaped the "making" of Italians as modern political subjects in the years between its administrative unification (1861-1870) and the end of the First World War (1919). The book includes readings of texts by Italian thinkers such as Leopoldo Franchetti and Paolo Mantegazza and it offers new readings of well- and lesser-known texts by a writer who has become Italy's most infamous precursor to Mussolini: poet, novelist, and political provocateur Gabriele D'Annunzio. Vital Subjects concludes with an original analysis of an early film that figures prominently in the history of cinema: Giovanni Pastrone's 1914 silent film Cabiria--produced in the wake of the Italian invasion of Libya (1911-12) and celebrating ancient Roman imperialism. ; Includes bibliographical references and indexes. ; Vital Subjects: Race and Biopolitics in Italy is an interdisciplinary study of how racial and colonial discourses shaped the "making" of Italians as modern political subjects in the years between its administrative unification (1861-1870) and the end of the First World War (1919) ; Drawing on a range of canonical and non-canonical literary, cinematic and social scientific texts produced in post-Unification Italy, Vital Subjects: Race and Biopolitics in Italy is an interdisciplinary study of how racial and colonial discourses shaped the "making" of Italians as modern political subjects in the years between its administrative unification (1861-1870) and the end of the First World War (1919).

The Breslau arts scene during the Weimar period was one of the most vibrant in all of Germany, yet it has disappeared from memory and historiography. Breslau was a key center for innovative artistic production during the Weimar Republic; recovery of its history will shed new light on German cultural dynamics in the 1920s. Such a study has art historical significance because of the incredible extent of innovation that occurred in almost every intellectual field, advances that formed the basis for aesthetic modernism internationally and continue to affect the course of visual art and architecture today. Architecture education, just one example in many, is still largely based on a combination of the Bauhaus model from the 1920s and the model developed at the Breslau Academy of Fine and Applied Art. The exploratory attitude encouraged in Weimar era arts endeavors, as opposed to the conformism of academic art, is still a core value promoted in contemporary art and architecture circles. Given the long-lasting influence of Weimar culture on modernism one would expect to find a spate of studies examining every aspect of its cultural production, but this is not the case. Recent scholarship is almost exclusively focused on Berlin and the Dessau Bauhaus. Although both interests are understandable, the creative explosion was not confined to these cities but was part of a larger cultural ethos that extended into many of the smaller regional centers. The Expressionist associations the Blaue Reiter in Munich and Brücke in Dresden are two well-known examples. Equally, innovation was not confined to a few monumental projects like the Stuttgart Weissenhofsiedlung but part of a broader national cultural ethos. The dispersion of modernism occurred partly because of the political history of Germany as a loosely joined confederation of small city states and principalities that had strong individual cultural identities before unification in 1871 but also because of the German propensity to value and take intense pride in the Heimat, understood both as the hometown and the region. Heimatliebe translated into generous support for cultural institutions in outlying cities. Host to a roster of internationally acclaimed artists and architects, major collectors, arts organizations, museums, presses, galleries, and one of the premier German arts academies of the day, Breslau boasted a thriving modern arts scene until 1933 when the Nazis began their assault on so-called "degenerate" art. This book charts the cultural production of Breslau-based artists, architects, art collectors, urban designers, and arts educators, who were especially interesting because they operated in the space between the margins of Weimar-era cultural debates. Rather than accepting the radical position of the German avant-garde or the reactionary position of German conservatives, many Breslauers sought a middle ground. It is the first book in English to address this history and presents the history in a manner unique to any studies currently on the market. 'Beyond the Bauhaus' explores the polyvalent and contradictory nature of cultural production in Breslau in order to expand the cultural and geographic scope of Weimar history; the book asserts a reciprocal dimension to the relationship between regional culture and national culture, between centers like Breslau and the capital Berlin. With major international figures like the painters Otto Mueller and Oskar Moll, architects Hans Scharoun and Adolf Rading, urban planners Max Berg and Ernst May, collectors Ismar Littmann and Max Silberberg, and an art academy that by 1929 was considered the best in Germany, Breslau clearly had significance to narratives of Weimar cultural production. 'Beyond the Bauhaus' contributes the history of German culture during the Weimar Republic. It belongs alongside histories of art, architecture, urban design, exhibition, collecting, and culture; histories of the Bauhaus; histories of arts education more broadly; and German history. The readership would include those interested in German history; German art, architecture, urban design, planning, collecting, and exhibition history; in the avant-garde; the development of arts academies and arts pedagogy; and the history of Breslau and Silesia. ; The Breslau arts scene during the Weimar period was one of the most vibrant in all of Germany, yet it has disappeared from memory and historiography.

Das breite Spektrum an unterschiedlichen Religionen in Österreich hat dafür gesorgt, dass der Schrei nach einem konfessionslosen Ethikunterricht an Schulen immer lauter wurde. Mit dem Schuljahr 2021/22 wird dieser Forderung Rechnung getragen und ein verpflichtender Ethikunterricht für all jene eingeführt, die sich aus den verschiedensten Gründen vom Religionsunterricht abmelden. Die Frage mit der sich diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt lautet daher, ob Ethik gleichsam, wie der Religionsunterricht unter die Religionsfreiheit von Kindern subsumiert werden kann und ob konfessionslosen SchülerInnen der gleiche Schutz garantiert wird. Der Anfang dieser Arbeit fokussiert auf die gesetzlichen Ausgestaltungen des Grundrechts der Religionsfreiheit und klärt, ob dessen Anwendungsbereich ebenso für Kindern eröffnet ist. Zusätzlich wird herausgearbeitet, ob und wann das Kind selbst über seine Religiosität und andere religiöse Fragen entscheiden kann/darf bzw. wann dem elterlichen Erziehungsrecht Vorrang eingeräumt wird. Zur Untermauerung dieser Ausführungen wurden ausgewählte Urteile des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte (EGMR) in die Arbeit eingebunden. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt weiters auf dem Bildungsbegriff und den Werten und Zielen die von österreichischen Schulen gefordert werden. Ferner wird beurteilt, ob der neue Ethikunterricht, der bis dato bereits als Schulversuch existiert, einen Ersatz oder eine Alternative zum klassischen konfessionsgebunden Religionsunterricht darstellt. Anschließend folgt ein Interview mit einer pensionierten Ethiklehrerin. Aufbauend auf den bereits gewonnen Erkenntnissen wird der Implementierung des neuen Gesetzes zum verpflichtenden Ethikunterricht anhand der Regierungsvorlage und den Erläuterungen nachgegangen. ; The broad range of different religions in Austria has ensured that the call for non-denominational ethics classes in schools has become louder and louder. For the start of the school year 2021/22 this requirement will be taken into account and compulsory ethics classes will be introduced for all those who withdraw from religion classes for various reasons. The matter this diploma thesis deals with therefore is whether ethics, as well as religion classes, can be subsumed under the religious freedom of children and whether non-denominational students are guaranteed the same level of protection. The beginning of the thesis focuses on the legal formulations of the fundamental right to religious freedom and clarifies whether its scope is established for children as well. In addition it will be carved out whether and when a child can/may decide for themself concerning its religion and other religious issues or when the parental education is given priority. To support these positions selected judgements of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) were incorporated into the thesis. Furthermore a specific focus is set on the educational concept and values and aims that are required of Austrian schools. An evaluation is also made of whether the new ethics classes, which have already existed as school pilots, are a substitute or an alternative to the classical denominational religion classes. This is followed by an interview with a retired ethics teacher. On the basis of the knowledge already gained, the attention will be given to the implementation of the recent law to the compulsory ethics classes with the aid of the government bill and its clarifications. ; Arbeit an der Bibliothek noch nicht eingelangt - Daten nicht geprüft ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der Verfasserin ; Diplomarbeit Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 2021
