Num contexto global de polarização populista sobre questões ambientais e culturais, uma combinação das abordagens da Ecologia Política, da História Ambiental e da Ontologia Relacional é utilizada para explorar uma terceira via de transformação socioambiental situada entre os extremos da conservação biocêntrica e do desenvolvimento predatório: a conservação socioecológica. A Ecologia Política e a História Ambiental do século XXI mostram como a conservação biocêntica somente zela pela preservação natural e o desenvolvimento predatório favorece apenas alguns interesses econômicos específicos, de forma que ambos promovem ampla exclusão social. Em reação à injustiça ambiental e social, populações rurais históricas buscam formas de resistir ao cerceamento ambiental resultante da conservação biocêntrica global. A perspectiva relacional, por sua vez, permite entender melhor a complexidade e as contradições das estratégias de permanência no lugar que no país são baseadas em reservas de desenvolvimento sustentável e de territórios étnicos. A visão híbrida mesclando as três abordagens é ilustrada em dois casos empíricos, um na Amazônia no qual existe conflito por território entre indígenas e ribeirinhos e outro no Pantanal envolvendo cooperação entre os dois grupos étnicos.

Historian James Laver described the cyclical nature of fashion as taking almost 50 years for a particular style or decade to be remembered as romantic. The 1980s are often overlooked by fashion historians as garish or vulgar, best left to the confines of history. During the global financial crisis of 2007–08, direct quotations from the 1980s and television show Dynasty (1981–89) appeared on the catwalks of major designers. An interest in the decade of greed and excess was revived in a time of economic austerity: were we dressing up to cover up our financial shortcomings? Fashion is yet again in the midst of a 1980s renaissance; however, in this time of sociopolitical uncertainty, the perspective has shifted as designers immerse themselves in the creativity and showmanship of the decade. One designer at the apex of this resurgence was Marc Jacobs in his Autumn/Winter 2018 catwalk presentation. Although not the first designer to hone in on the trend, Jacobs' collection was a homage to 1980s popular culture and the showmanship of haute couture. One notable visual influence was the work of fashion illustrator Tony Viramontes (1956–88), whose genius captured the essence of the decade. Through analysis of the recent vogue for 1980s revivalism, alongside the ingenuity of the decade's most energic fashion illustrator, Tony Viramontes, this article will attempt to decode Marc Jacobs' collection for his eponymous label and consider the vocabulary of 1980s fashion as truly worthy of genuine artistic examination by fashion scholars and contemporary fashion designers.

"Legal decisions continue to mystify: Why was this person convicted and that person acquitted of the same crime? Why did she sue for breach of contract and he did not? Legal rules are supposed to provide answers to these questions, but their answers are radically incomplete. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a theory that explained legal decisions, which predicted how legal cases are likely to be brought and decided? Drawing on Donald Black's theory of the behavior of law, Geometrical Justice: The Death Penalty in America aims to offer some answers, looking specifically at who receives the death penalty in the US. Drawing on large datasets, including the Baldus study which demonstrated racial bias in sentencing decisions, this book considers the ways in which social characteristics such as race, class, moral reputation, organizational status affect legal decision making, and the wide discrepancies in the use of capital punishment. Geometrical Justice will be of interest to those engaged in criminal justice, criminology and socio-legal studies, as well as students taking courses on sentencing, corrections and capital punishment"--

Community-engaged scholarship is at a transitional moment, seeking to effect cultural change in academic and research institutions, which will expand the concept of scholarship to encompass the methodologies and definitions of scholarship embodied in community-university research and engagement. Open scholarship is similarly employed in transforming scholarship to broaden its scope, influence and impact beyond traditional modes of academic practice. Written from the perspective of practitioners of open access publishing, this article explores the development and current state of the open movement and considers intersections and opportunities for collaboration with community-engaged scholarship.
