Linden A. Mander writing for the Seattle Civic Unity Committee regarding the hostile atmosphere and issues of racism during the conflict with Japan in Seattle, 1944
No full textLinden A. Mander was a Professor of Political Science at the University of Washington. He wrote several papers on global issues and was the co-director of the Institute of International Affairs. This document, titled The Seattle Civic Unity Committee, does not directly discuss the issues of Gordon Hirabayashi, but it does provide information regarding the atmosphere of Seattle in 1944 and contextual history during the time of Gordon's trial. The document begins, "For many months prior to the appointment of the Civic Unity Committee the Mayor of Seattle had been receiving letters and petitions which showed evidence of widespread anxiety over the increasing racial tensions which, if unchecked, might well embroil the city in the type of disorder which occurred in Detroit and later Philadelphia." Professor Mander died in 1968.Gordon Kiyoshi Hirabayashi (1918-2012) was an American sociologist and conscientious objector to the Japanese American internment during WWII. Born in the Sand Point area of Seattle, he grew up on the farmland surrounding Kent. In Japan, both of Hirabayashi's parents had become members of Mukyokai, or the "non-church" movement. Teaching Christian principles free from denominational issues, Mukyokai stressed an uncompromising stand against social injustice. When he was a student at the University of Washington, Hirabayashi became a Quaker and involved in social services. Hirabayashi refused to comply with the curfew imposed on Japanese Americans in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and later refused to report for relocation to the internment camps on the grounds that the directives were based solely on race and therefore were unconstitutional.
After the last Japanese were forcibly removed from Seattle, Hirabayashi turned himself in to the FBI and was tried and convicted in the Federal District Court of Seattle. The case ultimately went to the Supreme Court, which ruled that the curfew was constitutional. Hirabayashi was sentenced to serve three months in a minimum security prison in Arizona. No funds were available to transport him, so Hirabayashi spent two weeks hitchhiking to get there. Later, he was tried and convicted of draft resistance and served nine months in the federal penitentiary on McNeil Island. When released, Hirabayashi returned to the University of Washington and received BA, MA and PhD degrees in sociology. Upon completeion of his education, he taught overseas at the American University in Beirut and the American University at Cairo. He retired from the University of Alberta in 1983. In the 1980s Hirabayashi and his legal team brought new evidence about the exclusion order's prejudice to the courts of government misconduct which then overturned his 1943 convictions based on the rarely used argument of coram nobis. In May 2012, four months after his death, Hirabayashi was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom

How does fair trade, as practised by Trade Aid and MINKA, contribute to the aspirations of Quechua producers in Peru?
No full textAs part of a Master of Indigenous Studies from the University of Otago, Trade Aid staff member, Michelia Ward, conducted research throughout 2011 and 2012 on whether fair trade is able to contribute to the aspirations of indigenous producers. The research focused on fair trade as practiced by Trade Aid, New Zealand and one of its Peruvian partners, MINKA.Fair trade is a development mechanism that aims to support food and craft producers around the world to improve their lives through trade. Many indigenous communities are producers of craft or food products such as woven textiles and coffee, and have engaged in fair trade relationships selling mainly to Western consumers. Fair trade organisations have universal principles that provide guarantees to consumers about working conditions, fair payment and trading relations with producer groups. This research project focuses on whether a universal framework designed to bring development to disadvantaged and marginalized producers can work for unique indigenous cultures across multiple continents. This research focuses on Trade Aid in New Zealand and their partnership with a Peruvian fair trade organisation, MINKA, who works with Quechua producers in the Andes. Indigenous theorists place large value on local epistemes (knowledge systems) and local solutions to local problems. Is fair trade one of these local solutions, or just another solution imposed from the outside upon indigenous producers
2002 Australian Teacher Education Association Conference (2002 ATEA)
No full textHigher education communities are not immune from the demands of the knowledge. New technologies, rapidly evolving knowledge and policies promoting standards, outcomes and graduate attributes exhort pedagogical revision and renewal. Facilities are pressured by downsizing, global market competition and increased accountability to the public (Pierce, 1998). Consumer demands exhort educational institutions to renew their programs and processes to develop unique identities and approaches to educational provision.
This paper aims to describe the procedures, processes and protocols exercised by staff engaged in a strategic review of their Faculty of Education. It commences with an exploration of education reform and the reconceptualising of pedagogy in one learning organisation. The paper is written from the perspective of the author-participants. Outcomes to date are sharing in the context of discussing about organisation learning
