The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her). Word, Lemma, Part of Speech: Texts are separated by a line with ## and the textID

The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market
Get PDFMany Americans think that “Big Government” is wasteful and inefficient and we should have faith in “The Free Market” to solve our problems. Yet, history shows that government has more often than not been the solution to problems that markets produced, and many large government programs--from Social Security to the invention of the internet--have been very successful. So why do so many of us have so much faith in “The Market” and so little faith in government? In this talk, I recount the story of how American business leaders intervened in politics, popular culture, the educational system, religious life, and academic discourse to promote market fundamentalism.

Hate Studies and Course Contents of Noor-ul-Idha/Hadayah and MPhil Islamic Studies at Fatima Jinnah Women University Rawalpindi
No full textHate and Love are eternal, immortal, unchanged and everlasting emotions from the birth of human beings or any alive one. These emotions can be developed, enhanced and eliminated through teaching, manuscripts, family environment, social circumstances, political or religious events and public policies. Manuscripts or literature are the sources which are more effective and long-lasting than the other sources to create, raise, tempt, and fire hateful attitudes. This study investigated the historic phenomenon of hate development and growth among Muslim intra-faith communities in the sub-continent for the last six centuries through the studies of Madrassas’ books especially related to the Fiqh contents titled ‘Hadayah’ and Noor-ul-Aidha’
A Toolbox for Dialogue-Based Approaches to Contested Problems
No full textThe Business School Learning Laboratory (created 2002), has had a heavy emphasis on developing and refining tools, often arts-based, which promote reflective and dialogic approaches to personal and organisational development, increasingly related to contested problems. In 2020 the School faced a crisis when, at the very height of Black Lives Matter, it was revealed that the school (then named Cass Business School) was in fact named after a leading slaver of the 18th Century. There was significant tension and dissent across the school’s stakeholders. Not only was the name changed to Bayes Business School, but many initiatives were taken in school and university, particularly around equality, diversity and inclusion, and with decolonisation of the curriculum. UK experience in EDI has been mixed with institutions often undertaking performative process activities while paying less attention to day-to-day changes in teaching, research, promotions, behaviour etc. Anxious to avoid performativity, from 2020 the Learning Laboratory has revisited its “toolbox” of dialogic approaches, both analogue and digital, with a view to applying to EDI and decolonisation
The Limits of Using an Anti-Semitism Rhetoric Against the Anti-Zionist Discourse: The Case of Jewish Voice for Peace
Get PDFThis presentation tracks the historical manipulation of the anti-Semitic rhetoric, from the conservative Jewish reactions against the American Council of Judaism during WWII, to contemporary ones against the anti-Zionist activism of JVP. It also provides an insight into the scholarly and structured arguments proposed by JVP’s contributors against the anti-Semitic label and libel, and ultimately seeks to denounce the lexical and ideological manipulation of the anti-Semitism – both as a term and a phenomenon – by conservative parties for conservative prospects
Limitations in the Canadian Social Imaginary: Swaths of Hate Cut by Racism and the Road Beyond
No full textCanada has long had an international reputation as a benign and welcoming country. There are many who have experienced welcome and new opportunity in the embrace of our imaginary of diverse peoples, weaving a variegated social tapestry of inclusion and belonging. However, at critical junctures in the national story, lines of exclusion fuelled by hatred of the Other in the context of an unconscious xenophobia have had dire outcomes for a variety of communities. Indigenous, settler and newcomers have all been included- although not equally so- in the swath of marginalization cut by differing manifestations of legalized, systemic, and personal racism. This paper considers the ideal of multi-culturalism as a defining Canadian motif and, more importantly, how that vision has lived (problematically) on the ground in relation to legalized, systemic and personal racism.
A consideration of racially motivated exclusion and harm necessarily leads us in this paper to the response. How is Canada finding pathways for limiting racially motivated hate? Canada’s nascent response has been two-fold: the legal system and education. With the criminalization of hate added as part of the criminal code in 1970, and the introduction at both the federal and provincial levels of Codes of Human Rights in the latter part of the twentieth century, it is courts and tribunals which have become the last line of defense against hate- a line which social and religious groups have been unable to draw. Plato and Aristotle both decried the need for judicial intervention as reflective of the most poorly evolved societies. While it is not my view that Canada fits that label (our democracy works effectively in many respects), Canada has not been able to contain hate without a structural stick. More recently, companioning the stick, Canada is witnessing grassroots movements, largely led by victims of hate, and supported by increasingly conscious others, which advocate and promote the essential role which education must play in supporting long lasting change. Such change summons all of us toward a society where hate is not tolerated, and all shall live with opportunity, dignity, and respect.
This paper concludes with a consideration of the emerging impact of these movements leading to a new social imaginary: a plurality of voices empowering genuinely plural society, supported by a legal code which does not tolerate hate
Organizing a Community to Reject Hate: A Nuts-and-Bolts Approach
No full textA COMMUNITY GUIDE FOR OPPOSING HATE is, as the name suggests, a new nuts-and-bolts manual for community groups working against hate. Co-published by the Bard Center for the Study of Hate, Western States Center and The Montana Human Rights Network, the 103-page manual details best practices for how to start a local group opposing hate and how to improve the work of organizations already engaged in this effort.
This workshop will be led by two of the authors – Stephen Piggott of Western States Center and Kenneth Stern of the Bard Center for the Study of Hate (joined by Dillon Alexander Methven Cathro, of Western States Center). They will review the manual’s sections on messaging, traditional and social media strategies, and how to work with politicians, schools, and academics. Hate crimes, security, and research, among other topics will also be covered as will the importance of protecting free speech rights while exposing hateful speech and making the hater’s exercise in free speech backfire. They will also review some of the thirteen different hate-related scenarios (with “dos” and “don’ts”), including hate rallies, posters, and threats.
The presentation will be in person, and will require the ability to show the manual on a screen for workshop participants
