The League of Women Voters of Texas is a non-partisan organization that works to promote political responsibility through active informed participation of all citizens in their government. In 1919, the Texas Equal Suffrage Association evolved into the Texas League of Women Voters, and today is recognized as the League of Women Voters of Texas. Their hallmark activity is the circulation of Voters' Guides through newspapers prior to elections; locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The League's intent is dissemination of information on political candidates, and the objective promotion of "political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government." The organization's efforts, however, are by no means limited to politics, but also address issues on water, health care, hazardous wastes, education, energy, and such international concerns as the United Nations. ; The records of the League of Women Voters of Texas also reflect socio-economic changes in the United States with the active organizational membership drives of the mid to late 1970s in response to American society's evolution into a two income family. Collectively, the materials provide researchers with invaluable insight into politics and political concerns on an international, national, statewide, and local basis. ; The collection consists of materials from national, state, and local files, financial materials, photographs, and publications of the National, Texas, and local leagues, as well as other state leagues. Also included are a study of the national league, scrapbooks, memorabilia, vice-presidential program files, and printed materials. The focus of the collection is on state committees and local units. ; Highlights from the donation include the original 1919 minutes from the Texas Equal Suffrage Association authorizing the organizational conversion to the Texas League of Women Voters, films produced by the group on legislative processes, the 104th Congressional recognition given and signed by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on the 75th anniversary of the League of Women Voters of Texas, and the flag that flew over the Texas capitol on that day. ; Box 5, Folder 22

Schutz durch Benachteiligung?Mit Einführung des Mindestlohngesetzes zum 1. Januar 2015 sollten u.a. die Arbeitnehmerrechte gestärkt werden. Gleichzeitig nimmt das Gesetz in § 22 Abs. 2 MiLoG allerdings eine besonders schwache und schutzbedürftige Gruppe – minderjährige Arbeitnehmer ohne Berufsausbildung – vom Anwendungsbereich aus. Die Arbeit wirft daher einen – auch rechtsvergleichenden – Blick auf Lohnbestimmungen für Jugendliche und stellt sich die Frage, ob die Ausnahme jugendlicher Arbeitnehmer insbesondere im Blick auf eine mögliche Altersdiskriminierung mit höherrangigem Recht vereinbar sein kann. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei unter anderem auf der Vereinbarkeit mit der Gleichbehandlungsrichtlinie 2000/78/EG sowie nationalem Verfassungsrecht.

Dr. Sherman P. Vinograd fulfilled the roles of Chief of Medical Science and Technology and Director of Biomedical Research at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from the fall of 1961 until the spring of 1979. In this role he shaped, organized, and directed NASA's program of medical research as a funded program of studies, which was carried out in not only NASA Center laboratories, but also in university, industry, and other government laboratories and hospitals all over the country. It produced a large substrate of information through its bed rest studies, vestibular, bone, neuromuscular, hematology, and cardiovascular researches. It also produced valuable fall-out, such as an accurate bone density measurement technique which is now in common clinical use. ; His major activities during this career were conceptualizing, establishing, and chairing the Space Medicine Advisory Group (SPAMAG) charged with defining the earth-based and space-based research and life-support requirements for a manned orbiting research laboratory. This group designed a carefully planned study utilizing highly qualified, specialized members of the scientific community. They postulated a non-existent orbiting laboratory to be designed according to the needs of future human flight crews and requirements for human spaceflight information. This would result in the creation of Skylab. ; He was also responsible for establishing the In-flight Medical Experiments Program in preparation for the Apollo series of manned space flights. This program was a series of carefully designed flight crew studies derived from proposals by qualified scientists both from within and outside NASA to evaluate human responses to spaceflight. ; In addition, Dr. Vinograd developed a supportive Research and Development Program necessary to provide pertinent ground-based data and to advance state-of-the-art medical measurement technology, a major development of which was the Integrated Medical and Behavioral Laboratory Measurement System (IMBLMS). This consisted of medical experiments and accompanying equipment necessary to perform them that was used from the Gemini through the Skylab manned space flight programs. Carried aboard virtually any post-Apollo space vehicle by virtue of its rack and module design, these designs were used well into the future. He also fostered the continuing ground-based medical research program sponsored and/or conducted by NASA. ; The Dr. Sherman P. Vinograd Aerospace Exploration collection consists of artifacts, books, correspondence, financial materials, newspapers, photographs, plaques, printed materials, and reports relating to Dr. Vinograd's early life, his career as an M. D. prior to joining NASA, his years as a physician and researcher at NASA, and the other professional organizations and projects in which he was involved both during and after these periods. ; Box 5, Folder 22

In 2017, I participated in a walking fieldtrip organized by First Story Toronto. It was an eye-opening experience. We explored various sites with significant Indigenous connections in downtown Toronto, Canada's primary immigrant-receiving city. Canada is both a nation of immigrants and a land belonging to Indigenous people, and the field trip addressed these diverging perspectives in a novel and hands-on way. As an academic, I'm used to dealing with issues through rigorous scholarship and conceptual theories, and to see this complex relationship presented in an experiential way was both humbling and inspiring. ; Bauder, H.

In a globalised world, the wealthy elite and the rough sleeper negotiate the same streets, jostling for space in the doorways of shops selling luxury goods, thus the winners and losers of global capitalism meet in the same urban spaces. While the visibility of rough sleepers has become a shorthand to frame poverty and inequality, homelessness is not confined to the doorways of cities. It is experienced in a multitude of different ways: as single homeless people living in hostels, shelters and temporary supported accommodation, as those 'sofa-surfing' and living in overcrowded accommodation and as those who are termed 'statutory homeless', waiting for a house from a social housing provider. Homelessness is recognised as a multi-dimensional phenomenon. The issue of homelessness and social exclusion has received increasing attention in the wider arena of health and social care policy and practice, the issue of homelessness and health has been the focus of recent Public Health attention in Scotland. Positioned within a health inequalities framework, homelessness is understood to be 'both a consequence and a cause of poverty, social and health inequality'. Homeless people experience poorer physical and mental health than the general population and present a higher prevalence of physical, mental and substance misuse issues. The main aim of this book is to support readers wishing to understand issues of homelessness, social exclusion and health at a local level but to do so by framing these issues in a global context. It expands notions of health by drawing on disciplines outside the fields of housing and health to better comprehend the ways that stigma, identity and urban geographies shape, frame and present homelessness, especially for those who are rough sleeping. -- Provided by publisher

The purpose of the article is to investigate the system of functioning of the Ukrainian auteur cinematography in the 1960-80s, in the difficult Soviet times of the individuality and spirit oppression of the Ukrainian people as a nation in general and it is based on a comprehensive analysis and available scientific datas and sources.

The works of art history of the achievements in the Ukrainian and world cinema are being studied. The creative works of outstanding Ukrainian directors, screenwriters, cameramens and actors have been analyzed. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the features and manifestations of the author's cinema of Ukraine in the 1960–1980s, completely unexplored materials, scientific works have a lot of evidence about the existence of authorship in Ukrainian cinema, therefore the specificity of the art of this period, as well as external factors affecting the directors during the creation of copyright works. The legal system of the period, and the peculiarities of copyright in Soviet times, are analyzed, the influence of political and juridical factors on the manifestation of the author's theory in Ukrainian cinema as a whole has been clarified. Conclsions. In the course of the study, the prerequisites and reasons for the emergence of the author's concept of its ethnic and national peculiarity, among the Soviet times traditional canons have been revealed. During the period of poetic cinema, a large number of Ukrainian literature works saw the light. ...

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) recognizes aboriginal and treaty rights (section 25), official bilingualism (sections 16-20), and multiculturalism (section 27). The Charter also protects citizens from discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, or disability (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 1982). The spirit and values instilled by the Charter are significant to the field of education mission statements and policies endorsing diversity, inclusion and equity. Combined with different communities' advocacy for social change, teachers are increasingly called to impart equal opportunities for all children in increasingly diverse classrooms with equitable curricular and pedagogical practices. In that context, Educators on Diversity, Social Justice and Schooling: A Reader provides insight for practitioners. This book is edited by Sonya E. Singer and Mary Jane Harkins, with each chapter's authors representing various theoretical and methodological approaches. The book is organized in three thematic sections: diversity, social justice, and schooling. ; Jean-Pierre, J. (2019).

The current Liberal government has publicly endorsed a feminist agenda which has led to initiatives such as Canada's feminist international assistance policy (FIAP), initiated in 2017. At the same time, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Report (TRC) of 2015 reiterates how the histories of colonialism are still persistent and need to be addressed in our curriculum, research, and policy. This essay argues that a fully feminist agenda must be anti-colonial in nature, rejecting Eurocentric, stereotypical and universalizing explanations and leaving space for cultural interpretations, local solutions and listening to the voices of marginalized groups as experts. In short, FIAP and the TRC must be brought together in practical and policy-orientated ways to promote women's empowerment and gender equity through a decolonizing framework. In support of Canada's leading role in the advancement of refugee issues and the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR), and informed by its feminist approach to foreign policy and FIAP which "comes with "aggressive" funding targets for gender equality and women's empowerment" (CCIC, 2017), it is important to scrutinize the notion of gender empowerment and related notions, such as forced marriage and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Drawing on doctoral fieldwork conducted in Egypt summer of 2017, this paper uses the case of Syrian refugee women who marry 'for refuge' to explore how certain groups of refugee women and their stories challenge international humanitarian perceptions that often stigmatize similar arrangements as exploitation, sex trafficking and/or forced marriages. I use what I refer to as marriage for refuge and marriage immobility to demonstrate how humanitarian notions such as empowerment and related notions such as SGBV and forced marriage can be reimagined. The study aims to offer insights for a gender-responsive refugee policy that is feminist, decolonizing and sensitive to culture, context and diversity. ; Taha, D. (2019).
