That’s a Wrap: Unveiling the Politicization and Sexualization of the Hijab
No full textThis paper investigates the pervasive influence of Orientalist narratives on the perception of the Arab world, focusing on the hijab as a symbol. The argument posits that imperialism and subsequent Orientalist thought symbolically transformed the hijab, leading to its politicization and sexualization. The research investigates two significant consequences of imperialism and Orientalism. The first focus examines how Orientalism influences Western perspectives of Arab societies, resulting in laws like hijab bans. The second focus delves into Arab states\u27 reactions to imperialism, culminating in a rejection of Western values and subsequent policies, including hijab enforcement. This research explores the epistemology of Orientalism and the effects of Imperialism and subsequent de-colonization movements on the hijab in a social and legal context, addressing the rationale of hijab bans and enforcement. This research examines the way the hijab has transformed and gained new meaning, going beyond a discussion of personal choice and multi-culturalism, instead situating the veil within the context of a political climate that often exploits women’s bodies for personal gains
The Power, Potential and Value of Corporations in the Mitigation of Climate Change
No full textThe urgent nature of climate change has intensified scrutiny of the roles and responsibilities of various actors in addressing this global crisis. While governments struggle with enforcement and coordination, corporations have emerged as key players in climate action, leveraging their resources, innovation, and policy influence. This paper examines the corporate sector’s role in shaping clean energy policies, driving renewable infrastructure, and fostering sustainable consumer behaviour. Through case studies and business model analysis, it explores how businesses implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and use market influence to normalize eco-friendly practices. The analysis also evaluates corporate accountability, distinguishing between genuine commitment and performative sustainability efforts. By assessing these dynamics, the discussion highlights the power and limitations of corporate-led climate action and argues for a strategic focus on private-sector investment to accelerate meaningful change

Mochulsky wrote about a variety of topics, ranging from the workers and prisoners he met to the harsh climate and its effects on his work.
