¿Qué hace un líder ignaciano? Reflexiones en las prácticas y sabiduría jesuita
No full textExisten suficientes recursos con respecto a la historia de la sociedad de Jesús (los jesuitas) la espiritualidad ignaciana y la educación jesuita. Sin embargo, muchos colegas se preguntan, cómo aplicarían mejor los principios ignacianos en su trabajo diario y su liderazgo, especialmente cuando se trata de desafíos adaptativos y desacuerdos. En ese sentido, este artículo busca edificar un puente entre la sabiduría ignaciana y estrategias concretamente personales, interpersonales y organizacionales, particularmente al traer recursos fundamentales jesuitas a la conversación de teorías y prácticas de liderazgo. Con cuatro áreas emergentes del estudio, relaciones, rezar y un deseo de ser una ayuda, estas reflexiones exploran las formas prácticas al contestar la pregunta, ¿qué hace el líder ignaciano
Bringing the Margins to the Center A New Model for Synodal Discernment in Parishes
Get PDFThis article proposes a transformative approach to synodal discernment within parish communities by emphasizing the inclusion of marginalized voices. Traditional models often overlook these perspectives, resulting in a partial and sometimes skewed understanding of parish needs and aspirations. By bringing the margins to the center, this new model ensures a more comprehensive and authentic process of communal discernment. It outlines practical steps for implementing this inclusive approach, highlights the theological foundations supporting the participation of all community members, and shares case studies demonstrating the positive impact of this model. The article argues that true synodality can only be achieved when every voice is heard and valued, thus fostering a richer and more vibrant church community
Talk Story Prompt Cards
Get PDFThese prompt cards were inspired by the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) and American Indigenous Library Association (AILA) presentation on “Talk Story: Centering Oral Traditions to Advance Literacy Justice and Transform Community Relationships” at the ALA Annual Conference 2023. One representative from APALA and one from AILA shared an oral storytelling experience. Afterward, a panel discussion was held discussing “Talk Story as a community of practice to recenter youth literacy programs as intergenerational literacy opportunities with an emphasis on oral histories and traditions, intersectional community building, and cultural sensitivities.”1 The APALA Family Literacy Focus Committee decided it would be helpful to create prompt cards that inspire families, educators, and librarians to start meaningful conversations and oral storytelling practices while implementing Talk Story values.
To expand access to this resource, the prompt cards have been translated into Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Hindi, Marathi, Tagalog, and Spanish.
This initiative was made possible thanks to the dedication of volunteer translators, Joanna M. Arteaga La Spina, Ingrid Li, Wei Ling, Mrunal Ranade, and Kristine Segura, who generously contributed their time and language expertise to translate the Talk Story Prompt Cards.

Who’s Afraid of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statements in Faculty Hiring and Promotion at California Universities?
Get PDFIn 1996, California banned affirmative action in both state employment and state education. This ban extends to California’s universities, which are therefore prohibited from using race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in faculty hiring and promotion as well as student admissions. As a result, California’s universities have had to think of alternative ways to improve the diversity of their faculty and students. One solution many California universities have adopted is to ask applicants for faculty positions or promotions to submit a statement describing their approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion. However, the use of diversity, equity, and inclusion statements in faculty hiring and promotion has come under significant criticism. Critics argue that basing faculty hiring and promotion on how an applicant approaches diversity, equity, and inclusion violates academic freedom and the First Amendment.
This Note addresses these criticisms and proposes a way forward. It argues that the criticisms levelled against diversity, equity, and inclusion statements only affect some of the ways these statements are implemented and used; other implementations and uses escape unscathed. In order to avoid the criticisms—and potential legal challenges—this Note makes two proposals. First, California universities should only use diversity, equity, and inclusion statements to evaluate applicants’ contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and not applicants’ beliefs about these matters. Second, applicants’ contributions should be evaluated primarily in terms of their impacts on student post-graduation outcomes and research and scholarship
Implied Malice Aiding and Abetting: A Doctrinal Maze
Get PDFIn the wake of the California Legislature’s elimination of the natural and probable consequences theory of second-degree murder, a new doctrine has emerged for assigning murder liability to accomplices in fatal assaults: implied malice aiding and abetting. This theory, which preserves murder liability for assailants who neither kill nor intend to kill, combines the doctrines of aiding and abetting and implied malice. The difficulty of navigating the resulting thicket of interlocking requirements raises a serious risk that the doctrine will be applied too broadly. After outlining the history of accomplice liability for murder in California and analyzing several cases where implied malice aiding and abetting has already been employed to sustain murder liability, this Note attempts to identify the potential pitfalls that face courts and legal practitioners in the application of this complex new theory
Moving Away From ‘Bothsideism’ in Journalism
No full textThe historical understanding for what objectivity looks like in journalism takes the form in a practice now dubbed bothsideism. The practice of bothsideism arises from a journalist’s goal to be and appear unbiased, so in efforts to not appear biased, journalists who partake in bothsideism provide equal coverage to both arguments of a debate. The weight-of-evidence approach offers an alternative way to cover various debates. It instructs journalists to provide an amount of space to an opinion that is proportionate to its prevalence among the general public. This strategy can help more accurately paint the number of people who align on certain issues
Thomas Aquinas on Non-Theological Faith
Get PDFThe majority of studies on ‘faith’ (fides) in the thought of Thomas Aquinas consider it in a religious or theological context: fides as the theological virtue by which one assents to the truths of divine revelation. The focus on theological faith is appropriate, given its central importance as a theological virtue, but this is not the only sense of fides that Thomas identifies. The present study investigates two non-theological senses formulated in his commentary on the De Trinitate of Boethius: first, fides as the proximate cause of assenting to principles within a given science (‘epistemic faith’) and, second, fides as an indispensable element of society (‘societal faith’). These senses have been largely overlooked in secondary literature but, I argue, might help to dispel mischaracterizations of faith as fundamentally unreasonable
Youth Dignity Takings: How Book and Trans Bans Take Youth Property and Dignity
Get PDFThis article practices Participatory Law Scholarship and Movement Law to engage Marginalized and Mobilized Youth in legal scholarship and to elevate their resistance against book bans and trans bans. Together, we—a legal scholar-practitioner, frontline movement lawyer, Youth community legal worker, and law student-activist—make the positive claim that book bans and trans bans constitute a dignity taking—a state action that takes property from a marginalized group and dehumanizes and infantilizes that group in the process. Further, we make the normative claim that legal advocates committed to repairing the deprivations of these bans and bills must attend to both the material loss and the immaterial loss of Youth dignity. The article concludes with movement lawyering and prefigurative strategies that legal scholars and practitioners can use to win material change, redistribute power and property, and reimagine law in solidarity with targeted Youth. As the first piece of legal scholarship to join frontline practitioners and Youth legal workers as co-authors, this article provides new insights on the material failure of constitutional law to protect Mobilized and Marginalized Youth from the legislative and administrative violence of book bans and trans bans
