Labouring for inclusion: debating immigrant contributions to Chile
Get PDFOver the last three decades, Chile has experienced transformative migratory flows, becoming more diverse in the process. As migrants from Latin American and Caribbean countries settle in Chile, they often face stereotypes laminating race, ethnicity, and nationality and shape paths toward inclusion through the job market. Amid the implementation of visa restrictions and the rollout of a new migration law, current debates over migration foreground ideas about which groups productively contribute to the nation’s development – discourses often linked to labour. Government rhetoric and policy debates frame a broader discussion of the role of migration in Chile, with both Chileans and migrants alike employing discourses of hard work and discipline to dialectically define what it takes to be a “contributing migrant”. Drawing on ethnographic data, I illustrate how migrants make claims to inclusion through their labour, thus engaging with a coercive form of neoliberal governance proffering only conditional recognition
LIGHTS OUT! on graph products over the ring of integers modulo k
No full textLIGHTS OUT! is a game played on a finite, simple graph. The vertices of the graph are the lights, which may be on or off, and the edges of the graph determine how neighboring vertices turn on or off when a vertex is pressed. Given an initial configuration of vertices that are on, the object of the game is to turn all the lights out. The traditional game is played over Z2 role= presentation style= box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 0; font-size: 15.26px; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Source Sans Pro , Helvetica Neue , Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative; \u3eZ2Z2, where the vertices are either lit or unlit, but the game can be generalized to Zk role= presentation style= box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 0; font-size: 15.26px; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Source Sans Pro , Helvetica Neue , Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative; \u3eZkZk, where the lights have different colors. Previously, the game was investigated on Cartesian product graphs over Z2 role= presentation style= box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 0; font-size: 15.26px; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Source Sans Pro , Helvetica Neue , Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative; \u3eZ2Z2. We extend this work to Zk role= presentation style= box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 0; font-size: 15.26px; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Source Sans Pro , Helvetica Neue , Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative; \u3eZkZk and investigate two other fundamental graph products, the direct (or tensor) product and the strong product. We provide conditions for which the direct product graph and the strong product graph are solvable based on the factor graphs, and we do so using both open and closed neighborhood switching over Zk role= presentation style= box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 0; font-size: 15.26px; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 1px 0px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Source Sans Pro , Helvetica Neue , Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative; \u3eZkZk
Comunidades organizando el poder y la acción latina / Communities Organizing Latino Power and Action: A Climate Framework
No full textCOPAL (Comunidades organizando el poder y la acción latina) is an organization formed in 2018 that seeks to unite Latinos in Minnesota through community-based democratic practice that builds racial, gender, social, and economic justice. Organizers from COPAL will discuss the unique framework the group has developed for drawing connections between the climate crisis and forced migration from Central America to the United States, and for educating and empowering immigrant communities to advocate for policy change that advances justice for people of color most affected by environmental catastrophe

Imagining Socio-economic and Agro-ecological Alternatives in a Moment of Climate Crisis: Voices from Movements in Latin America and Baltimore
No full textDr. Fabricant examines grassroots activists\u27 envisioning, dreaming and working towards alternative land ownership, agro-ecology, and the building of land trusts in Bolivia and Baltimore. The ideas coming directly from Native and Black communities are systemic and holistic solutions to our economic, public health, and climate crisis. Her presentation incorporates the multiple voices of Black and Brown activists while also proposing some policy recommendations as we move towards a Green New Deal for Housing/Green New Deal for Education

Get PDFAsked to give a reflection at the pandemic-postponed 50-year Saint John\u27s University reunion on Oct. 2, 2021, classmate Thom Woodward turned to the SJU Archives. Headlines and articles from the Record student newspaper 1966-70 provided the crux of a PowerPoint presentation. If it were a book, it would have two chapters: The Old Order and The Times They Are a-Changin’ - - Chaos to Follow
