The key practices of the solidarity movement are those associated with the nonviolent politics of habitational resistance: witnessing, documenting, standing with Palestinians in their homes and at checkpoints, assisting with the harvesting of olives under the threat of settler violence, and, perhaps most visibly, working in communities that are most directly affected by the construction of the Wall. Communities such as Qalqilya and Bil’in (http://www.bilin-village.org/english/), sharply victimized by land confiscations, have become internationally-known focal points of Palestinian popular defense. keywords: acceleration; defense; global; israel; issue; justice; occupation; palestine; palestinian; politics; settler; social; studies; violence; volume; war; world cache: ssj-1002.pdf plain text: ssj-1002.txt item: #4 of 352 id: ssj-1003 author: Sandoval García, Carlos title: Review of ¡Marcha!

We see this prioritizing of communicative reason in the marriage debates where many feminist liberals advocate for changes to marriage law because of the necessity of redistributing access to state-administered benefits, whether through a more egalitarian version of legalized marriage or through the dissolution of marriage altogether because of its inherent economic privileging of some relationships over others. keywords: discourse; ethics; example; feminist; issue; justice; liberal; marriage; public; queer; religion; sex; sex marriage; studies; theory; volume cache: ssj-1008.pdf plain text: ssj-1008.txt item: #10 of 352 id: ssj-1009 author: Fischer, Clara title: Consciousness and Conscience: Feminism, Pragmatism, and the Potential for Radical Change date: 2010-03-12 words: 10783 flesch: 52 summary: Growth again, being the movement of ethical development, a process of moral improvement, where our new, dynamic, and now feminist self undergoes continuous adaptation, with actions shaping new ideals, in turn creating new aspects of the self, and so on (1985a, p. 306).

Movement-Building Relays during the Current Epoch of Contention date: 2014-04-02 words: 8725 flesch: 41 summary: Based on these insights, with movement building relays as the connective tissue, the environment or (infra)structure within which various forms of cooperation (such as networks, coalitions, movement organizations) are generated can heuristically be separated into four ideal-types: Clustering relays describe the lowest degree of convergence(s), prioritizing the protection of the participants’ autonomy while seeking to loosely connect them; Networking relays denote more pro-active milieus, encompassing dynamics that advance the institutionalization of more routinized linkages, shared actions and campaigns; Coalitioning relays are based on longer- term strategy and commitment to generating shared ideologies, values and political identities; Organizing relays represent milieus with the highest level of confluence, in which compromises and shared identity production become core concerns. While drawing on selected empirical examples from protests, social forums and other networking attempts, this article has a conceptual focus, exploring possibilities by adoption of such a relay lens to further our understanding of the achievements and challenges of current movement building dynamics and temporalities of social movements, the current movement milieu and social movement theory more generally. keywords: building; cooperation; dynamics; groups; issue; justice; movement; movement building; networking; networks; new; organizing; protest; relay; social; volume; world cache: ssj-1037.pdf plain text: ssj-1037.txt item: #39 of 352 id: ssj-1038 author: Khasnabish, Alex title: Subterranean Currents: Research and the Radical Imagination in the Age of Austerity date: 2014-04-02 words: 10370 flesch: 43 summary: In contradistinction to earlier Studies in Social Justice, Volume 8, Issue 1, 2014 50 Alex Khasnabish generations of sociological work which cast social movements as little more than irrational, unwashed mobs that functioned, at best, as “escape valves” maintaining the equilibrium of the status quo, social movement research since the 1960s has taken social movement action seriously and sought to understand these collective actors not only in terms of the structural factors affecting their lifespan (Tarrow, 1988) but also their capacity to mobilize resources (Zald & McCarthy, 1979), take advantage of openings in the political system (Meyer, 2004), advance claims and frame issues (Benford & Snow, 2000), deploy consciousness, emotion, biography, and culture as social change tools (Goodwin, Jasper, & Polletta, 2001; Jasper, 1999; One vexing question with which we have contended since the earliest stages of this project is whether or not conducting social movement research like this contributes, however unintentionally, to the surveillance, repression, and demobilization of social justice struggles. keywords: halifax; imagination; issue; justice; khasnabish; movements; participants; press; process; project; research; social; space; struggles; studies; university; volume; work cache: ssj-1038.pdf plain text: ssj-1038.txt item: #40 of 352 id: ssj-1039 author: Barnartt, Sharon N. title: The Arab Spring Protests and Concurrent Disability Protests: Social Movement Spillover or Spurious Relationship? date: 2014-04-02 words: 5366 flesch: 62 summary: It shows that, although disability protests did not start at the same time as the pro-Democracy protests, a number happened during and after, and in close physical proximity to, those protests.

At the same time, dependency on government funding exposes CSOs to three important challenges: to stay true to activist mandates in the face of pressure from state funders to focus on service provision; to maintain accountability to constituents while also satisfying the vertically oriented accountability requirements of the state; and to nurture collaboration among CSOs in a context of competition for state funding. keywords: activism; community; csos; funding; government; ireland; irish; public; sector; social; state cache: ssj-1130.pdf plain text: ssj-1130.txt item: #79 of 352 id: ssj-1137 author: Fobear, Katherine title: “I Thought We Had No Rights” – Challenges in Listening, Storytelling, and Representation of LGBT Refugees date: 2015-12-10 words: 7896 flesch: 61 summary: 2 The significance of LGBT refugee stories continues long after claimants receive a positive decision on their refugee claim, as their stories are powerful tools to bring attention to larger issues around anti-queer violence and provide a counter-narrative to anti-refugee sentiments in mainstream Canada (Murray, 2014).

Her recognition that such teachers would be burdened not only with the public gender expectations of their society and a generalised lack of interest in the education of girls, but also with the additional, private stresses of loss, war trauma, displacement, poor and precarious living conditions, and other micro- traumas, led her directly to the innovative method of the “healing classroom,” still in use today, which is founded on her observation that a well-supported teacher has a greater ability not only to sustain herself in difficult circumstances, but to support and nurture the girls in her care.1 Jackie’s practical social justice impetus also led to her embeddedness in under-resourced classrooms where she formed the intimate bonds that are crucial for anyone working below the radar, especially to amplify the most marginal voices. keywords: girls; issue; jackie; justice; social; studies; women; work cache: ssj-2106.pdf plain text: ssj-2106.txt item: #188 of 352 id: ssj-2142 author: Constantine, Moe title: The Cow with the Ear Tag #1389 date: 2020-02-21 words: 2702 flesch: 52 summary: Gillespie’s book contributes to the growing number of books and films devoted to exposing the cruelty of raising animals for food and how this practice contributes to the normalization of violence.

This article explores these dilemmas, which include how facilitators of youth art workshops can enable the production of digital art in a manner that is attentive to intersectional issues of digital literacy and access; respond to artistic appropriations of sexually explicit, discriminatory or hateful speech and their relation to cultural appropriation; and protect youth participants from liability for contravening defamation, privacy, copyright or trademark laws as part of their artistic appropriations. keywords: appropriation; art; art workshops; copyright; issues; justice; participants; resistance; social; speech; studies; technology; use; volume; workshops; youth cache: ssj-2340.pdf plain text: ssj-2340.txt item: #222 of 352 id: ssj-2348 author: Poyntz, Stuart R. title: Producing Authenticity: Urban Youth Arts, Rogue Archives and Negotiating a Home for Social Justice date: 2021-05-03 words: 10766 flesch: 47 summary: The media archives produced and maintained by youth arts organizations are an especially robust site of such negotiations, and in what follows, I examine how OSF’s and ReelYouth’s media archives produce a language and aesthetics of youth authenticity as part of situating their role as allies of young people and “a gathering force” in the social life of communities (Amin, 2014, p. 138).

Fischer’s aim is to demonstrate that concepts and methods in poverty studies are “fundamentally political and ideological” (p. 22) and that measures and programs designed to identify and address poverty are largely inadequate. keywords: book; development; fischer; poverty cache: ssj-2437.pdf plain text: ssj-2437.txt item: #233 of 352 id: ssj-2440 author: DeGagne, Alexa title: Protecting Cisnormative Private and Public Spheres: The Canadian Conservative Denunciation of Transgender Rights date: 2021-05-06 words: 9518 flesch: 45 summary: Analyzing House of Commons and Senate debates and committee proceedings for Bill C-279 (2015) and Bill C-16 (2016–2017), I examine three conservative arguments that illustrate attempts to maintain private power relations and hierarchal gendered divisions by ensuring that transgender and gender nonconforming people are not allowed to exist, speak or make claims in public: first, the assertion that gender identity and gender expression are not definable identity categories for claims-making because transgender people are deceptive and can change their gender based on their feelings; second, the targeting of public facilities, and particularly public bathrooms, as sites of contention, danger and necessary gender segregation; and third, the attempt to delegitimize rights claims by criminalizing transgender people in relation to cisgender women and children. The severe and constant violence faced by incarcerated transgender people, especially when housed in gender-segregated facilities that do not correspond to their genders (Girshick, 2011), was not questioned in itself; rather, such violence was blamed on transgender people who transitioned in the prison environment. keywords: bill; cisgender; conservatives; cpc; identity; justice; people; private; public; rights; state; studies; transgender; transgender people; transgender rights; women cache: ssj-2440.pdf plain text: ssj-2440.txt item: #234 of 352 id: ssj-2445 author: Stasiulis, Daiva; Jinnah, Zaheera; Rutherford, Blair title: Migration, Intersectionality and Social Justice (Guest Editors’ Introduction) date: 2020-03-26 words: 9996 flesch: 40 summary: Many migrants who enter through irregular migration frequently engage in a variety of risky micro exchange transactions for survival, often with other migrants who live similarly perilous lives within the grey economy (see Rutherford, this issue).

While analyses such as those from the aforementioned writers help in understanding the conditions of working-class communities, the poor in general, and the state of democracy, the challenge is that there is a dearth in the literature providing a summative evaluation of various components of social justice organisations in post-apartheid South Africa.1 There have been sector-specific evaluations of trade unions, NGOs, and social movements in urban and rural areas, but these do not provide an overview of the role of specific social justice organisations in a democratic South Africa (Bezuidenhout et al., 2017; Brown, 2021; Hlatshwayo, 2021; Kenny, 2020; Sisaye, 2021). keywords: africa; apartheid; black; democracy; issue; justice; justice organisations; organisations; rights; social; social justice; south; south africa; state; struggles; victories; women; workers; years cache: ssj-2755.pdf plain text: ssj-2755.txt item: #283 of 352 id: ssj-3379 author: Dodman, Elsbeth title: An Autistic Letter to a Neurotypical Friend (Creative Intervention) date: 2022-03-11 words: 2281 flesch: 83 summary: Autistic people are optional in autism issues and in autism stories.

This feminist contribution to discuss the multiple dimensions of inequalities originally called attention to the specific situation of Black women within feminist and antiracist struggles in the United States (Crenshaw, 1991) and is now deployed to critically consider how inequalities are entangled – and thus what other dimensions should be also taken into account in new feminist materialism. keywords: agency; bodies; feminist; issue; justice; struggles; studies; violence; women cache: ssj-4263.pdf plain text: ssj-4263.txt item: #317 of 352 id: ssj-964 author: Torres, M.

In conceptualizing the state, I draw on O‟Donnell„s (2004a) idea of the state as more than a set of bureaucracies, but also a “legal system that is enacted and normally backed by the supremacy of coercion held by state institutions…This legal system embraces and constitutes qua legal persons the individuals in the state‟s territory” (O‟Donnell, 2004a, pp. 31-32). keywords: conaprevi; guatemala; institutions; international; issue; justice; law; organizations; press; society; state; studies; university; violence; women; women‟s cache: ssj-967.pdf plain text: ssj-967.txt item: #321 of 352 id: ssj-968 author: Toews, David title: A Socially-Just Internet: The Digital Divide, Cybercultural Agency, and Human Capabilities date: 2009-01-27 words: 7705 flesch: 50 summary: The most well-developed approaches to online social justice to date have been those dealing with the problem of the digital divide. 5 The condition of online social justice would have to be a universal perspective, and not primarily in the sense of the theorist‟s perspective of looking down upon a great digital divide. keywords: communities; development; digital; group; human; internet; justice; life; new; online; play; social; world cache: ssj-968.pdf plain text: ssj-968.txt item: #322 of 352 id: ssj-969 author: Travers, Ann title: The Sport Nexus and Gender Injustice date: 2009-01-27 words: 12084 flesch: 51 summary: We Should: Entirely Eliminate Sex as an Organizational Category in Sport Queer postmodern feminism‟s deconstruction of the two sex system as ideological rather than natural (Fausto-Sterling, 2000, 1992; Haraway, 1997, 1991; Butler, 2004) supports an argument for the elimination of sex segregated sport.

If we take social criticism, generally, to mean critical insight directed towards cultural affirmation, elaboration and betterment, its interpretive form can be understood as a matter of developing such insight based on the moral sensibilities and practices which have already gained a foothold in a specific time and place, in a specific country or ―community of experience‖. In the second part of the paper, I argue that instead of singularly focused, one-dimensional theorizations of social justice, we need to develop an historical, pluralistic view that starts from the premise that any one society will encompass a diversity of moral dispositions—what Walzer (1983) calls multiple ―spheres of justice‖. This fits nicely with the complex formulation that Honneth gives to the notion of social justice. keywords: cambridge; collective; criticism; habermas; honneth; ideal; issn; issue; justice; life; new; press; social; spheres; university; volume cache: ssj-970.pdf plain text: ssj-970.txt item: #324 of 352 id: ssj-971 author: Reitan, Ruth title: Review of La Via Campesina: Globalization and the Power of Peasants date: 2009-01-27 words: 928 flesch: 30 summary: The rest of the book answers the question of which way forward by descriptively analyzing the Via Campesina and their challenge to the TINA’s hegemony.
