Feminist transnational organizing produces complex & conflictual relationships. In particular, global conferences are often a place for women to discover their differences. Studying the conflicts that arise during women's transnational collaboration & how participants negotiate those conflicts helps to illuminate how women from diverse locations develop the relationships &, thus, the social infrastructures necessary for network building. My qualitative study of a budding women's peace network at the 4th UN World Conference on Women revealed that the NGOs used a dialogic process to address the deep-rooted conflicts triggered by unequal access to network agenda-setting. This dialogic process created a desire for the NGO representatives to work together despite on-going conflicts & facilitated relationships in which future conflicts could be negotiated constructively.

The central role of African women in the struggle for peace in Africa is discussed, with focus on events leading to the establishment of the Federation of African Women's Peace Networks. It is demonstrated that African women have become central promoters of peace through establishing alliances with other women, appealing to warring leaders, participating in peace negotiations, & organizing reconciliation efforts.

AbstractThe history of the Indian residential school system, which began officially in Canada in 1879, is marked by the persistent neglect and abuse of children and, as a result, of Aboriginal communities in general. The residential schools were an attempt to undermine the existence of Aboriginal communities and families. The federal government wanted Aboriginal people to assimilate into Canadian society. According to Duncan Campbell Scott, the principal architect of Indian residential school policy, "Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic, and there is no Indian question and no Indian Department. … I want to get rid of the Indian problem" (Titley, 1986, p. 50). In many communities, every child between the age of five and eighteen was taken from his or her family and put in residential schools.

ABSTRACTThis case uses a goodwill impairment setting to introduce intermediate and advanced accounting students to business valuation (that is, estimating the fair value of a business unit). Tombstone, Inc. previously acquired JH Outfitter's (JHO) and recorded $2.2 million of goodwill. In prior years, management utilized an outside service to provide fair value estimates of JHO for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing. The business valuation is to be done in-house this year. Three common valuation approaches are discussed in the case to provide students with a background that is sufficient to apply these methods to estimate the fair value of JHO for the goodwill impairment tests. Sufficient, yet conflicting, information is also provided to complete the basic requirements. As such, the case provides students an opportunity to apply the goodwill impairment model (as revised in 2017) where the fair value of a business unit is uncertain.
