When Misfortune Becomes Injustice surveys the progress and challenges in deploying human rights to advance health and social equality over recent decades. Alicia Ely Yamin weaves together theory and firsthand experience in a compelling narrative of how evolving legal norms, empirical knowledge, and development paradigms have interacted in the realization of health rights, and challenges us to consider why these advances have failed to produce greater equality within and between nations. In this revised and expanded second edition, Yamin incorporates crucial lessons learned about the state of global health equity and public health systems during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating just how incompatible the current institutionalized world order—based on neoliberal, financialized capitalism—is with one in which the rights of diverse people around the globe can be realized. COVID-19 struck a world that had been shaped by decades of disinvestment in public health, health systems, and social protection, as well as privatization of wealth and gaping social inequalities within and between countries, and the evident crisis of confidence in the capacity of democratic political institutions and global governance was deepened by the pandemic. Yamin argues that transformative human rights praxis in health calls for addressing issues of structural inequality and political economy, and working across disciplinary silos through networks and social movements.
Описание: Organismos internacionales como la Organizaci n para la Cooperaci n y el Desarrollo Econ mico (OCDE) han se alado que la regi n de Latinoam rica experiment en los ltimos a os los niveles m s bajos de competitividad en actividades basadas en el conocimiento, as como en los rubros de formaci n en recursos humanos, inversi n en ciencia y tecnolog a y en solicitudes de patentes. Este problema se ve acrecentado por el desinter s de los estudiantes para cursar carreras relacionadas con la ingenier a, la ciencia y la tecnolog a. En un primer trabajo de investigaci n, la Dra. G. Yam n G mez, periodista y mercad loga, concluy que los factores que m s afectan el inter s por estudiar carreras del rea cient fico-tecnol gicas son: las percepciones negativas que se tienen hacia el estudio de las matem ticas, la poca motivaci n de los padres, los materiales did cticos que se utilizan en su ense anza en el nivel medio superior y la falta de motivaci n y seguimiento por parte de los profesores. Con esta informaci n se dise un modelo de marketing relacional para atraer estudiantes hacia esta rea, as como para disminuir los niveles de abandono en aquellos alumnos que ya se encuentran curs ndolas. No obstante, una situaci n de tal complejidad requiere una participaci n multidisciplinaria. "Aproximaciones te rico-pr cticas para motivar la elecci n de reas cient fico-tecnol gicas en M xico" re ne las aportaciones de acad micos e investigadores de instituciones como la Universidad Polit cnica de Tulancingo en el estado de Hidalgo, la Universidad Aut noma de Chiapas, la Universidad Veracruzana y la Universidad Aut noma de M xico, que desde distintas perspectivas proponen mecanismos para incentivar el ingreso en reas relacionadas con las ciencias exactas.

Описание:
As states across the country battle internally over same-sex marriage in the courts, in legislatures, and at the ballot box, activists and scholars grapple with its implications for the status of gays and lesbians and for the institution of marriage itself. Yet, the struggle over same-sex marriage is only the most recent political and public debate over marriage in the United States. What is at stake for those who want to restrict marriage and for those who seek to extend it? Why has the issue become such a national debate? These questions can be answered only by viewing marriage as a political institution as well as a religious and cultural one. In its political dimension, marriage circumscribes both the meaning and the concrete terms of citizenship. Marriage represents communal duty, moral education, and social and civic status. Yet, at the same time, it represents individual choice, contract, liberty, and independence from the state. According to Priscilla Yamin, these opposing but interrelated sets of characteristics generate a tension between a politics of obligations on the one hand and a politics of rights on the other. To analyze this interplay, American Marriage examines the status of ex-slaves at the close of the Civil War, immigrants at the turn of the twentieth century, civil rights and women's rights in the 1960s, and welfare recipients and gays and lesbians in the contemporary period. Yamin argues that at moments when extant political and social hierarchies become unstable, political actors turn to marriage either to stave off or to promote political and social changes. Some marriages are pushed as obligatory and necessary for the good of society, while others are contested or presented as dangerous and harmful. Thus political struggles over race, gender, economic inequality, and sexuality have been articulated at key moments through the language of marital obligations and rights. Seen this way, marriage is not outside the political realm but interlocked with it in mutual evolution.
