Otra historia ignaciana: incluyendo a las mujeres en la historia de la misión jesuita
Get PDFLos programas de orientación de las universidades jesuitas suelen incluir un repaso de la vida de Ignacio. Lo que falta en la historia oficial de Ignacio son las historias de las mujeres con las que vivió y trabajó y que contribuyeron económica, política y emocionalmente a su formación y a la de los primeros jesuitas. También falta un análisis desde la crítica feminista del contexto histórico en el que nacieron Ignacio, los Ejercicios Espirituales y la Compañía de Jesús. En este artículo sostengo que las mujeres proporcionaron un andamiaje esencial para afianzar la identidad y vocación de Ignacio, y para contribuir igualmente al establecimiento y trabajo pastoral de la Compañía, y que los Ejercicios Espirituales fueron un medio a través del cual se produjo esta colaboración. Analizo tres momentos de la vida de la Compañía que ilustran la relación entre mujeres y jesuitas que podrían ser compartidos en las instituciones educativas jesuitas como parte de los programas de formación para la misión que pretenden llevar a las universidades jesuitas a un compromiso más profundo con la justicia social, la diversidad y la inclusión
El eslabón perdido de la pedagogía Jesuita
No full textLa pedagogía jesuita ha experimentado una renovación importante en los últimos cincuenta años. En este periodo, se han elaborado diversas formulaciones inspiradoras de su visión educativa. A pesar de mantener un lenguaje y espiritualidad comunes, reconocibles a lo largo de los años, existe el riesgo de que sólo sea vivida por una minoría de personas en las instituciones educativas. Este artículo propone una relectura de la Ratio Studiorum (RS) que ofrece una comprensión más precisa y completa de la pedagogía jesuita. Esta incluye tres elementos clave: el gobierno y administración de la institución, el enfoque en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y la importancia de su impacto concreto en el entorno en el que se ubica la institución educativa. Estos tres componentes no son periféricos a la pedagogía jesuita, sino que son una parte intrínseca de ella. Recuperar esta rica visión tiene un gran potencial para afrontar con éxito los cambios que el futuro exigirá la educación superior jesuita
A Strategic Vision for Jesuit Higher Education Networks
Get PDFThis article provides a strategic analysis of networking in Jesuit higher education, grounded in the operational realities of Jesuit universities. It examines the formation, challenges, and best practices for fostering sustainable collaboration within these networks. The article contends that Jesuit networks are essential tools for advancing the mission of Jesuit higher education, offering insights that contribute to broader discussions on the strategic role of academic networks in promoting mission-driven education and global cooperation. The paper is divided into three sections: an overview of the rationale for establishing these networks, an exploration of the risks and critical challenges they face—including resource limitations and governance complexities—and practical strategies for enhancing effective collaboration
Key Elements of a Holistic Approach to Communal Discernment that Promotes Synodality in Church and Society
Get PDFCommunal discernment is a relatively new topic in the academic and pastoral discourses of the Catholic Church. A variety of conceptions, approaches, and experiences exist to-date. Although this is to be expected and even welcomed, it has resulted in some doubt and even criticism about communal discernment. This article takes stock of the diversity of viewpoints and proposes an approach to communal discernment that would not only be consonant with a synodal church but also promote holistic flourishing in society. It elaborates four key elements which are crucial in this approach, highlighting their theological bases and offering suggestions on how they might be implemented in ecclesial discernment and adapted to organizations that are operating in the secular space
The cooperation-infrastructure nexus: Translating the ‘China Model’ into Laos
Get PDFThe Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is frequently described as a ‘hard’ infrastructure programme of roads, railways, and ports. But a variety of ‘soft’ development cooperation activities—including trainings, dialogues, research, and development projects—have also been established under the banner of the BRI. We examine how this ‘soft’ cooperation works hand-in-hand with ‘hard’ infrastructure in what we call the cooperation-infrastructure nexus. This nexus works in two parallel ways: cooperation activities establish discursive frames of Chinese development as a model to follow, while also creating channels of exchange and support that validate and facilitate infrastructure investments. These investments, in turn, legitimize and often provide direct channels for further cooperation. To make this argument, we present empirical research conducted in China and Laos in two sectors: hydropower and rubber. Both expanded rapidly in China over the past three decades and are held up as models to follow; both are also the basis for cooperation and infrastructure interventions across Southeast Asia. We show that Chinese rubber and hydropower cooperation activities serve both to frame existing projects positively and facilitate future investments in those sectors in Laos. The infrastructure established on the ground, however, rarely resembles the ‘China model’ upon which it is discursively based. Instead, we find that important obstacles and contradictions arise in translating China\u27s domestic achievements into other country contexts. Our findings show the need to consider cooperation as intertwined with infrastructure, while acknowledging the disconnect between discourses of a China model and experiences on the ground
Empowering LA in the Fight Against Climate Change
Get PDFABOUT THIS STUDY
The 2024 Angeleno Poll conducted by StudyLA involved telephone sessions, online, and face-to-face surveys with 2,011 adults living in Los Angeles County. The survey was conducted in English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Korean. Respondents were asked a range of questions on various issues like policing, housing, climate change, and so on to gauge what Angelenos think about these crucial issues facing our society at present.

Does affective empathy capacity condition individual variation in support for military escalation? Evidence from a survey vignette
No full textDoes individual variation in affective empathetic capacity systemically condition a person\u27s willingness to support pre-emptive military action? In this note, I theorize that individuals who are more prone to feeling affective empathy are less likely to support conflict escalation. To evidence this theory, I conduct a survey asking individuals about their willingness to support a military attack against a non-specific rogue state that is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons. The results demonstrate that the probability of an individual supporting such a strike is strongly conditioned on their affective empathetic capacity. This finding holds regardless of model specification and controlling for rational beliefs about material outcomes. Affective empathy may, therefore, have a powerful palliating effect upon the processes that contribute to conflict escalation
