Drawing on the poetic work of Audre Lorde on anger and inspired by recent expressions of collective anger against the many regimes of inequality and injustice in the neoliberal business school, this essay aims to delineate the contours of a reinvented minoritarian critique that emerges through the undercommons, a fugitive, non-reformist collective mode of relating to this oppressive institution. I first discuss the concept of Lordean rage, a collective and transformative form of anger at intersecting social injustices, and I reflect on its role as an affective self-defense for those in oppositional presence to the business school. I then discuss how through the undercommons, we can think differently about how we relate to the institution, and how Lordean rage manifests an uncompromising and generative presence-in-anger for those who want to exist in dignity within and against the business school. This essay aspires to reinvigorate spaces of critique in MOS with a stronger poetic, inventive, and oppositional spirit nourished by a capacious collective rage at the neoliberal business school and its multiple regimes of injustice.

The drainage system of a hydrographic basin is formed by integrated functional systems, which provide ideal conditions for studies aimed at conserving and preserving ecosystems. Given the need to protect remnants of native vegetation in the Atlantic Forest, this study identified the terrain systems of Una River Basin (BHRU), Bahia, through the technical application of terrain assessment and multi-criteria methodological approach. In addition, the identified systems were evaluated for their levels of potential and emerging frailty. The results showed that the BHRU is subdivided into 8 (eight) terrain systems. Considering the relationship between the natural dynamics of the environment and the pressures exerted by anthropogenic activities, it was found that alluvial and coastal systems have areas with high degree of emerging fragility (8.20% of the BHRU). This high degree of emerging fragility is due to its natural characteristics, allied to the increase of anthropized environments th...

Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document.*** Article: Mixed Race Hollywood is a collection of essays that could not be timelier. As popular media, journalists, and citizen bloggers actively dispute the impact of President Barack Obama's election on attitudes toward race, editors Mary Beltràn and Camilla Fojas have compiled a series of essays that explore ways popular media and celebrity have presented miscegenation and racial identity for Americans. These historical and critical essays analyze specific films, television programs, Internet sites, and the appearance of celebrity image to help explain the ways popular media presentations of race correspond with the development of social behaviors and attitudes. Though some might credit "liberal Hollywood" for ushering America into the "mulatto millennium," it is obvious from the collection of essays in this book that Hollywood is not always the leader of public opinion but often takes the more conservative approach, lagging behind fairly widespread social attitudes.

Researchers acknowledge the challenge educational doctoral programs face to prepare their candidates for social justice leadership in our increasingly racially diverse society and schools. The problem is that students are often exposed to competing, race-neutral leadership approaches and discourse, professional bureaucratic and colorblind managerialism, that undermine social justice goals. Through critical content analysis, the purpose of this study was to map patterns of social justice discourse as evidenced across two cohorts of doctoral students' dissertation literature reviews (N=19) by examining the degree to which they challenge inequity, embrace social justice, or uphold the status quo. The doctoral students unintentionally intermixed bureaucratic, colorblind, and liberal discourses with social justice. We believe this is a reflection of their racial/ethnic background, their uncritical consumption of the literature, as well as their choice of framework. Limited research exists at the cross-section of how doctoral students' scholarship and their social justice leadership identity emerge within the context of their dissertation development. The mixing terminology finding is symbolic of the process of writing the literature review itself as students begin to develop their identities as social justice scholars before researchers.

According to typical accounts of prejudice, somebody holding a prejudiced belief is epistemically culpable for doing so (Fricker 2007, 36). However, a prejudice is usually also understood as being more than just a prejudgement. A prejudgement only becomes a prejudice if it is retained in the face of “new knowledge… that would unseat it” (Allport 1954, 9; see also Fricker 2007, 33-4). In his recent book, Prejudice, Endre Begby as argued that the standard view of prejudice just outlined is false (Begby 2023a, 5). According to Bebgy the ordinary way of thinking about prejudice equivocates between an extensional characterisation of prejudice (defining it through prototypical exemplars) and an intensional one (defining prejudice in terms of characteristic errors of reasoning) (Begby 2021, 61-2) and these two ways of characterising prejudice are in tension with one another. If we characterise prejudice in extensional terms then we find that somebody can be perfectly justified in holding a prejudiced belief (Begby 2021, 76). Moreover, they might be justified in retaining their prejudiced belief when presented with contrary evidence after they have acquired their belief (Begby 2021, 77-94). In this paper, I will argue that although it is true that classic accounts of prejudice sometimes illuminate the notion by presenting examples of beliefs without saying anything about how they were acquired or maintained, the standard account is nonetheless not committed to any inconsistency and is the correct account of prejudice.

In 2012 I started a series of paintings of Marilyn Monroe's white dresses. While painting, it became apparent that they were more about the body inside them than about the dresses themselves. Since her tragic and much speculated-over death, Monroe has been infantilized and cast as a victim by many biographers, while at the same time being used as a figurehead for a multiplicity of ideas around sexuality, whiteness, 'otherness' and feminism by theorists and artists. In the article I look at how Monroe's image, despite, or maybe because of, her efforts to control it during her lifetime, has continued to be influential. I refer to specific examples of her film roles and her costumes to unpick why she is still such a fascinating figure and why my paintings, while not actually featuring Monroe, manage to convey a powerful essence of her through the trace of her body. Working with white paint on a black ground is like projecting light in a shadowy room. As I build up and wipe away layers of oil paint, a tantalizing insubstantial something starts to appear. My aim is to fashion the image of a dress, but strangely it is a body that emerges from the darkness. And this not-reallythere body, defined by its white wrappings, is unmistakably the exaggerated feminine form of Marilyn Monroe.

with questions of world history and with theories of nomadic empires and of differing Chinese, European, and Central Eurasian models of governance. Such considerations, on occasion, go beyond the evidence he has presented. He offers his refutation of some theories and his embrace of others about world and Chinese history, the development of the state system, and other issues, with descriptions of the views of everyone from Charles Tilly to David Landes to Owen Lattimore to Thomas Barfield. However, despite these asides, Perdue's book is a valuable narrative of China's expansion during the Qing dynasty and its ramifications for Chinese and Central Eurasian history. Harvard University Press should be congratulated on the care with which it produced the book.

2025, Critical Storytelling in Uncritical Times

In a fundamental sense, telling stories is the quintessential human activity . Telling stories shapes our existence vis-à-vis the world around us, and helps us sort through all of the complexities that it embodies . Particularly for PK-12 classroom teachers and for college professors, storytelling serves as a means for connecting with colleagues and understanding our experiences in the classroom and on our campuses . Forging these connections and exploring the experiences that stem from them is especially important in the context of current neoliberal reform efforts. These efforts de-emphasize teacher and student autonomy while emphasizing accountability as a central feature of a market driven educational policy (Hursh, 2007). Such policies emphasize the role of teachers as technocrats who work towards the goal of increasing global effectiveness at all cost. Part of this turn towards training teachers as technocrats is a move away from narrative ways of knowing that emphasize love, connectedness, and understanding between teachers and students. But what happens when the love is gone, the connections are lost, and previous understandings begin to fade? With these changes we see the rise of neoliberal educational policies that have emphasized a need for increased surveillance, discipline, and hyperrationality both in PK-12 schools and on university campuses. The telling of stories challenges these hegemonic forces by helping teachers and teacher education candidates claim both agency and humanity through redirecting their gaze away from student surveillance and towards an understanding of the institutional structures that shape education in our society . An important challenge for those who study the Cultural Foundations of Education is the ability to offer sustained critique of educational structures, practices, and policies that are centered on formal schooling while connecting these entities with larger societal structures that influence how knowledge

This research project examined whether African American female students are being targeted with unfair treatment, disciplinary actions, and cultural misunderstandings. We explored the social, cultural, and emotional factors associated with being from an African American background and how it impacts their feelings and thoughts about school. The study involved African American female students in grades 9-12 in an urban Early College high school and a Traditional high school. The results indicated that African American female students believed they were treated as older and sexually more mature than Caucasian female students. The suspension and disciplinary rates of the African American female students were abnormally higher than the Caucasian female students in the Traditional High School as compared to students in the Early College.

AI is a human enterprise. People believe it is a machine, therefore, it must be logical. This is a misconception. AI is only repeating what its creator taught it. AI depends on the questions we ask, and these questions can vary depending on culture, traditions, or emotions. Western cultures seem to prefer reason because it is supposed to be objective and precise; however, this is not the case. There is no such thing as separating reason and emotion. Both are equally valid and are mixed in how humans express themselves.

Scholarly and industry discourses of racial reckoning increasingly invoke reparative justice as a critical facet of a renewed media reform movement. In this paper, we explore how four media reparative initiatives – The 1619 Project, the Media 2070 initiative, the Cotton Capital Project and the Stuff newspaper apologia – describe their organisations’ visions, objectives, activities or practices of repair as an entry point into illuminating the intersections between reparative justice and media reforms. The paper shows that the four reparative projects aim for transformative action through advocacy strategies against corporate organisational structures of oppression, journalistic practices of racial misrepresentation, or media systems that enable and perpetuate societal harms. The projects augment the social justice imaginary of the media reform movement, which revitalises activism and struggles against historical injustices related to colonisation, indigeneity, and race.

The purpose of this 3-phase transformative mixed-methods study was to use intersectionality theoretical framework to explore the science identities and relevant science learning experiences of male students of color (MSOCs) in STEM and their decisions to pursue science professions after college. Phase 1 utilized a researcher-developed survey to analyze differences in science identity scores (SIS), science relevancy scores (SRS), and decisions to pursue science professions of 702 diverse college students enrolled in STEM-related courses at a state college in Southeast United States. While there were no statistically significant differences in SIS and SRS scores regarding race/ethnicity or socioeconomic factors, statistical differences in SRS were present regarding gender. Female students had higher SRS than male students. When considering gender and socioeconomic level, a statistically significant interaction occurred across racial/ethnicity groups in SIS and SRS. Black and Hispanic males had higher SIS and SRS when at least one parent had a bachelor's degree. Phase 2 and 3 utilized interviews of five (MSOCs) from which these themes surfaced as largely shaping their decisions to pursue STEM fields: a) future-focus mindsets, b) connectedness to technology, engineering, and math, and c) science experiences and ideas. Students described the teacher's personality, the classroom environment, and the foundational characteristics of science as being critical components of relevant formal science learning experiences. Implications regarding what social justice looks like in the science classroom include1) the need to confirm SIS and SRS construct reliability from this survey instrument with a different population of diverse college students, 2) the important role science teachers and other educational stakeholders play in developing purposeful interactive instruction that adequately connects and prepares male learners for science I am first very thankful to God for all of His grace and help. The Lord has been my source of inspiration to get up every day, to read a little more, reflect a little deeper, and write a little longer to successfully get to the end in this process. I hope in some way this dissertation and work that will follow will be a glimpse of His love that others may need to see in the science classrooms and beyond. My Committee Chairs: Dr. Malcolm Butler has become a part of my family in many ways. Mentoring me, sharing his wealth of knowledge and wisdom from his professional experience and faith, challenging me to think critically, asking me about my family, and making sure that I was taking time to relax and be mindful of what should go into which buckets. He always makes sure to hold me accountable to the work I aim to do, because he knows how many lives and futures will be positively affected by it. Dr. Gao took me in as a colleague-in-training. I learned much from her about science inquiry, practices, and learning objectives. Yet, though she was my professor, she opened herself up to learn from me and my experiences as well. Both Dr. Butler and Dr. Gao have been intentional in my formation as a scholar and researcher; they have also been friends and confidantes which has been the most meaningful contributions they have made to me. Dr. Sarah Bush has been a strong encourager from the first time we met. Her vision, drive, and care are traits of hers that I deeply admire. I am so glad she was a part of my dissertation process. I am so grateful for Dr. Bai's patience with me over the last year and a half. Branching out into statistical analysis for my study was a huge leap. However, Dr. Bai helped me make sense of it, reassuring me that I was on the right track. vi Dr. Freeman welcoming me as a learner, colleague, friend, and a good example of a Black woman in science education.

During recent decades, social scientists, particularly anthropologists, sociologists and medical historians, have looked increasingly at how social and cultural factors inform a society's medical community and vice-versa. As Roger Cooter recently stated, " ... medicine is a social phenomenon capable of being properly studied only when treated as a part of its social, political, economic and cultural totality." l In America, a steady flow of medical sociologists-most notably Henry E. Sigerist in the 1940s, Talcott Parsons in the 1950s, David Mechanic in the 1960s and 1970s, and Vern and Bonnie Bullough in the 1980s-contributed numerous empirical 'studies that revealed that the development of American medicine was shaped moreso by its social and cultural context than clinical discoveries. 2 These studies have demonstrated conclusively that the American health profession's approaches to disease (etiology and therapy), the institutional structure of medical research and care, and public health care policy all have been deeply influenced by socio economic and cultural factors specific to historical epochs of evolving American society.

In congressional hearings on the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2005, Leisa B. testified about her experiences as a "victim of domestic [sex] trafficking." 1 Leisa is a U.S. citizen who was trafficked at the age of seventeen, when a boyfriend she met through a chat service persuaded her to move to Washington D.C. 2 Instead of the promised cars, clothes, and freedom, her boyfriend introduced her to a violent world of street prostitution. 3 Over the next few years, Leisa experienced rape and beatings at the hands of her customers and pimps. 4 She was arrested and detained several times before ending up at a social service agency that offered her shelter and counseling. 5 As presented to the members of Congress, Leisa B. is a "victim" of sex trafficking. 6 However, to state and local law enforcement officials across The U.S., Leisa is simply a prostitute, more deserving of jail time than social services.

This multi-year study which took place in 2019-2021 aims to design a literacy e-coaching model for EFL Junior High School teachers in Indonesia in support of the government-initiated school-based literacy movement program. The study involved 150 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers from 16 provinces in Indonesia in the need analysis part, 12 teachers in the module development part and 41 teachers in the implementation part. Two kinds of modules were developed during the study, namely: (1) a literacy enrichment module to reinforce the participants’ literacy content knowledge; and (2) a literacy learning module to enhance the participants’ competence in teaching literacy. Afterwards, two coaching cycles using the modules were implemented. The coaching cycles were designed by adapting the coaching models from Rogers and Rogers (2007) and Trinh et al.

Tudo o que você toca, você muda. A única verdade perene é a mudança. A constatação das práticas racistas que ocorrem todos os dias de modo normalizado, cultural, social e recreativamente, corresponde a um conjunto de preconceitos e discriminações práticos no dia a dia. Trata-se do que podemos identificar como racismo cotidiano. Contudo, é fundamental que se entenda que o racismo é um conceito multidimensional e complexo. Logo, à sua plena compreensão é relevante perceber que ele estabelece uma sistemática de domínio de uma raça em detrimento de outras em diversos campos, importando em exclusividade sobre o acesso a bens e serviços e a renda (dimensão econômica), a gestão e a dinâmica nas relações e espaços de poder (dimensão política), a construção de narrativas e a reprodução de subjetividades na sociedade (dimensão psicológica) e a regulação de mecanismos normativos e a garantia de direitos (dimensão jurídica). Pode-se, ainda, identificar o racismo como uma tecnologia, haja vista que se refere a um conjunto de técnicas, métodos e processos utilizados na produção e na realização de práticas discriminatórias que se aperfeiçoam no cumprimento de objetivos excludentes.

Comparative studies of crime have persistently challenged and daunted criminology scholars. For criminologists studying Japan, interest has traditionally been focused on the country's much-heralded low crime rate. The current study examines whitecollar lawbreaking in both the United States and Japan, focusing on similarities and differences in culture, law, criminal justice system response, corporate governance, and regulation. The study concludes that if Japan's low crime rate is an enigma to criminologists, then its ample amounts of white-collar and corporate crime appear that much more puzzling. Given that the depth of the problem of white-collar crime goes far beyond adjudicated cases, Japan's remarkably low rate of common crime is likely eclipsed by its rate of white-collar and corporate crime. The study concludes that the different legal and cultural contexts of the "law in inaction" go far in explaining the official nonrecognition of white-collar and corporate crime in both the United States and Japan. Keywords Crime . Culture . Japan . Comparative . Economic crime . White-collar crime . Comparative studies of crime have persistently challenged and daunted criminology scholars. Such work can effectively refute or extend findings and theories constructed on the basis of more parochial information, besides providing a much richer portrait of relationships between cultural conditions and illegal actions.

Two of the world's greatest boxers-Muhammad Ali of Louisville, KY and George Foreman of Houston, TX-met for the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" in Kinshasa in 1974. With concerts by the African American "Godfather of Soul" James Brown and South African singer-songwriter Miriam Makeba, nicknamed "Mama Africa," entwined tones of the U.S. civil rights era and anti-Apartheid movement. However, when George Foreman arrived, he was accompanied by his very large German shepherd. This and similar breeds of dog were once deployed against the local population by Belgian forces the recent imperial era, leading to scrutiny across the country for traveling with this symbol of the recent and violent Belgian past. Ali, who had already gained support for embracing his African heritage, cemented his own popularity after Foreman's faux pas.

2025, Rhetoric, Politics, and Culture

The ongoing movement to stop the construction of Cop City, a proposed police training center and movie studio in the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, Georgia, evokes imagination of coalitional solidarities and ecologically attuned worlds characterized by mutual aid and collective love that lay just beyond the horizon. This essay examines how the Stop Cop City movement's coalition-forming rhetoric and worldbuilding practices gesture towards this mode of politics, which I call abolition ecology. Inhabiting the tensions evoked by the movement's coalitions of abolitionist, decolonial, and radical environmental groups, I examine three of the movement's gestures towards new modes of global solidarity and emplaced worldmaking that exceeds the logic of place guiding the study of abolition ecology among geographers. I argue, then, for the importance of studying abolitionist projects for environmental communication as well as the potential for coalitional

2025, Social Semiotics

Almost everyone in the United States experiences some form of
schooling and thus forms opinions of what schools are, falls
victim to folk theory about curriculum, and lives their lives by the
myths about American education. Truth and reality have become
debatable concepts in public language. The semiological concept
of myth plays an influential role in these debates. However, just
as myths can be used to confuse and convince, if remythified
they also can be used to clarify and conjure up a new language
of reality. In this article, I critique the myth of Critical Race Theory
(CRT) in US schools. I then extend the work of Barthes ([1957]
1972. Mythologies. Translated by Annette Lavers. New York: Hill
and Wang) in applying a third semiological chain that acts to
remythify this myth with a new, more positive meaning and
reality, with hopes that this process could be extended to other
American education mythologies.

2025, Global Discourse

This article explores how race in international development currently operates globally. It is not simply a discursive legacy of colonialism but also inextricably embedded in contemporary processes of imperialist extraction and accumulation, which the architecture of development both legitimises and extends. The article argues for deeper engagement with Marxist thinkers located in the Global South in contemporary theorisations of race in development. In the context of multiple anti-racist and decolonial movements globally, many mainstream development actors are claiming to engage with questions of racism within their organisations. This is explored through an analysis of several texts produced by the British Overseas Network for Development (Bond), a large network of organisations working on international development in Britain, in response to the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement since 2020. While contradictions within these texts evidently reflect internal contestations over understandings of racism and anti-racism, they ultimately propose the adoption of diversity-based 'solutions' to racism and coloniality in development. These are analysed in the context of a long line of initiatives to relegitimise colonialism and development in order to sustain racialised structures of global capital accumulation. The essentialisation inherent in these approaches facilitates the appropriation of notions of decoloniality by forces of Brahmanical Hindu supremacism in India, which are closely tied to racialised and racialising global corporate capital. The second part of the article explores these processes, highlights the synergies between anti-caste and anti-racist thinking about capital and labour, and argues that Hindu supremacism incorporates, is sustained and strengthened by, and in turn feeds global supremacist ideologies.

2025, Handbook for Educating Students with Disabilities

Critical storytelling is a methodology that has been used to disrupt and transform deficit-oriented, Western colonial master narratives about marginalized peoples. This chapter expands upon critical storytelling as conceptualized by Dr. Nicholas D. Hartlep and colleagues to explicitly include intersectional disabled youth (IDY), a term used to refer to disabled youth at the intersections of race, language, class, and other identity markers of difference in middle school through higher educational settings. To include IDY, I draw from other critical methodologies that highlight storytelling as a tool to not only disrupt White bodymind normativity but also to honor and center marginalized IDY lived experiences within schools and educational environments. These include Indigenous storywork, testimonio, critical race theory's counter-stories, and cripistemologies. I synthesize key components from each of these methodological approaches that center one's embodied story as linked to critical storytelling and apply these to questions informed by the literature about youth with intersectional identities. From these questions and concepts connected to critical storytelling, an understanding of intersectional disability futures emerges to include key pedagogical considerations within teaching and learning that embrace IDY's stories as knowledge-making in current and future educational contexts. Accordingly, considerations of time, space, people, content, context, and form are analyzed for their importance in supporting IDY in co-creating and informing desired intersectional disability futures.

In the contemporary United States, matters of life and health have become key political concerns. Important to this politics of life is the desire to overcome racial inequalities in health; from heart disease to diabetes, the populations most afflicted by a range of illnesses are racialized minorities. The solutions generally proposed to the problem of racial health disparities have been social and environmental in nature, but in the wake of the mapping of the human genome, genetic thinking has come to have considerable influence on how such inequalities are problematized. Racial Prescriptions explores the politics of dealing with health inequities through targeting pharmaceuticals at specific racial groups based on the idea that they are genetically different. Drawing on the introduction of BiDil to treat heart failure among African Americans, this book contends that while racialized pharmaceuticals are ostensibly about fostering life, they also raise thorny questions concerning the biologization of race, the reproduction of inequality, and the economic exploitation of the racial body. Engaging the concept of biopower in an examination of race, genetics and pharmaceuticals, Racial Prescriptions will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists and scholars of science and technology studies with interests in medicine, health, bioscience, inequality and racial politics.

2025, Journalism

Following a wave of racial reckoning that set in after the global protests of the Black Lives Matter Movement, news organisations responded through a series of unambiguous public apologies, newsroom diversity policies, and even the payment of reparations. Attendant public and metajournalistic discourses have described these developments as operationalising ‘reparative journalism’, a reform agenda whose goal is to dismantle journalistic power structures that have promoted or enabled historical injustices in relation to colonisation, indigeneity, gender or race. While reparative journalism holds the promise of reconfiguring contemporary press accountability, there is a risk that its conceptualisation may conjure up a reductive view of the harms of journalism. This article ventilates on the reparative turn in journalism by exploring the intersections between journalistic harms/historical injustices, accountability and repair. The paper delineates ways to describe the press when implicated in harm in the age of reckoning.

Se dice tanto de Albert Einstein, como de Sigmund Freud, que ambos participaron, de un modo u otro, en algún momento de sus vidas, de sociedades que respondían a algún modelo de "fraternalismo" o directamente de la especie de la francmasonería universal. Para el caso de Einstein, ya sea su pertenencia temprana a la edad de 24 años, a una logia austríaca, o su membresía honoraria más tardía, por sus contribuciones a la ciencia, en la logia Theodore Von Neuhoff Nº111 de Berlín, que dejaremos como no comprobada, antes que como un trascendido más del deseo de honorar a la institución masónica. Para el caso de Sigmund Freud, es ampliamente reconocida la afiliación a la organización paramasónica, o que por lo menos lo fue en su origen, "B'nai B'rith", con su significado de "Hijos de la Alianza". El mismo Freud, se refiere a su experiencia al respecto, en una carta del año 1926, que está incluida en las Obras Completas de la Standard Edition de Stracey, donde el Psicoanalista agradece su estancia en esa institución, donde le fue posible expresar el precedente de sus primeras teorías, que fueran tan resistidas en distintos ambientes intelectuales de su época. Por supuesto, sentimos un cierto respeto y empatía, por quienes se empeñan en hacer listas de masones honorables, para prestigiar la consideración de la institución tricentenaria ante el público general, o también, y muy comprensiblemente, para producir un diálogo con sectores de la sociedad profana, que puedan beneficiar al trabajo de las distintas órdenes fraternales. Así y todo, sin embargo, tenemos que decir también, que en lo particular a nosotros, no nos interesa tanto directamente la mera afiliación a una cualquiera sociedad masónica, o menos, por el solo mérito de la afiliación misma, que por otro lado, nunca fue tan imposible de conseguir, por cualquiera sea miembro, sino que lo que también nos importa realmente, es el resultado y el mérito de una persona,
