House vs. Home: Two Case Studies of Rural Migrant Workers’ Residences
No full textThis research examines the contrasting living conditions of Chinese migrant workers by comparing container housing in urban construction sites and self-built houses in rural hometowns, alternately referred to as accommodation or living containers. The study utilizes ethnographic methods, especially interviews, to investigate the economic and sociocultural impacts of dwelling experiences. By conducting a comparative analysis of two case studies, the research aims to explore the connection and distinction between a house and a home. While container housing reinforces class division and isolation for workers, self-built houses symbolize resilience and identity amidst urbanization. The findings highlight a more human-centric approach to housing practices and emphasize the actual needs of the unprivileged communities

Hope: A Reflective and Connective Phenomenon
No full textHope has been described as an inherent, non-negotiable aspect of human existence. Hope, however, remains understudied. This paper argues that to study hope is also to study the ways human beings relate to the Earth and to each other. The author’s purpose is to show how hope creates reflection and connection, revealing truths about the world and untapped potential for hope to be part of collective healing in response to existential threats and trauma. Hope is considered alongside the phenomena of fear, grief, compassion, and care
Aloha Pedagogy: Weaving Aho as Ways of Knowing
No full textThis article braids Native Hawaiian ontology, Indigenous approaches to the critical study of education, and the author’s own reflections to advance a decolonizing approach to communication. This entails divesting from the Western assumption of mind-body dualism in favor of privileging a form of embodied knowledge that includes feelings, the senses, and intuition through artistic forms such as hula, oli (chanting), and storytelling

How Can Beauty Heal the Beast: Living with the Impacts of Polycrisis Traumas
No full textThis article is intended to provide an overall map of the current polycrisis and the traumatizing effects of the media, as each crisis is interpreted and reinterpreted in the attention economy. Ultimately, this article is directed at teachers, since they are in a position to help students navigate today’s complex and often disorienting context of growing up. Teachers themselves, however, are functioning under a myriad of (often competing) pressures. An organizing framework is offered, to help teachers analyze their own, and their students’ contexts, in order to realistically answer the question “what can one teacher do?” The response to this question is contemplated with clear-eyed pragmatism, devoid of romantic optimism
Parens Patriae: Addressing Maternal and Child Health Disparities in Indigenous Communities in the Philippines
No full textMaternal and Child Health (MCH) supports a broad array of programs to improve the availability and access to high quality preventive and primary health care for mothers and their children. But despite these policies, IPs/ICCs face a myriad of obstacles when accessing public health systems. The study documents and analyzes the maternal and child health practices of Indigenous Peoples in Sitio Bacao, Palayan City and assesses the impacts of such practices on their health status. This study is anchored on Larker’s Maternal and Child Health Theory (1969), supported by Bowby’s Attachment Theory and Ainsworth’s Child Development Theory (1978). The study used the descriptive and ethnographic methods of research. Primary data was collected through key informant interviews with Aeta mothers, survey questionnaires and field observations. Dietary practices of Aeta mothers and their children’s nutrition were triangulated using secondary data, analysis of Rural Health Unit (RHU) records and survey to the availability and utilization of health services and facilities. Socio-demographic profile of the respondents shows significant relation with their maternal and child health practices such age, education, income and geographical location of the respondents. The study argues that there is much to be desired when it comes to the maternal and child health standard of the Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines
