Measuring Merit: The Shultz-Zedeck Research on Law School Admissions
No full textLaw schools profess a commitment to racial diversity both for the educational benefits diversity confers and for its contribution to the profession. But they admit students based on standards that, while not discriminatory in a legal sense, undeniably favor white applicants. Today the question of who belongs in any given law school, or law school at all, turns almost exclusively on an applicant’s score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Law schools are not blind to the racial impact that accompanies this narrow measure of merit. But rather than taking a hard look at whether legal educators have adequately, or accurately, identified what qualities best qualify students for law school, the admissions process largely relies on affirmative action to ameliorate the current process\u27s negative effects. That approach is imperfect for a whole host of reasons, not least of which is that affirmative action’s legal use in higher education may be about to end. Should race-conscious admissions practices be banned, every law school that truly values diversity will have to explore race-neutral means of achieving it. The good news is that research conducted by Marjorie Shultz and Sheldon Zedeck suggests that this is possible - that qualities relevant to effective lawyering can be defined and predicted without recreating the LSAT\u27s disparate impact. This essay describes that research and the promise that it holds for improved, race-neutral, admissions processes

No full textA Social Network Analysis of Global Citizenship Education in Europe and North America
No full textIn the last decade GCED has developed in Europe and North America (EUNA) through conceptual, political and pedagogical negotiations among policymakers, educators, and community members. Working from the geographic area understood as “the global north”, EUNA actors are positioned within complex global relations. Drawing on the results of a Social Network Analysis, this chapter is a contribution towards understanding patterns of relationships among key GCED actors across the region. Adopting a whole network approach, the study discusses the structural characteristics of the system following the investigation of three one-mode networks, based on direct ties: collaboration, information exchange, and meetings
Reframing Agribusiness: Moving from Farm to Market Centric
No full textAgribusiness is moving from farm to market centric, where effective activities anticipate and respond to customers, markets, and the systems in which they function. This evolution requires a broader conceptualization and more accurate definition, to convey a more dynamic, systemic, and integrative discipline, which increasingly is committed to value creation and the sustainable orchestration of food, fiber, and renewable resources. We discuss the forces driving this shift to the market, offer a new and more representative definition of agribusiness, provide models to illustrate some of the most compelling trends, and articulate key elements and implications of those models.agribusiness definition, conceptual models, market centric, market systems, Agribusiness, Marketing, Production Economics,

A solidarity–care ethics and human flourishing approach to the COVID-19 pandemic: a UK perspective
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic illustrates that standard assessments of human well-being fail in the face of substantial social disruptions. To overcome this problem, we focused on two human flourishing frameworks: the Shultz et al. (Handbook of community well-being research (pp. 403–421). Springer, 2017) macromarketing framework and the Shabbir et al. (Journal of Macromarketing, 41(2), 181–193, 2021) solidarity–care framework. As these frameworks share commensurable theoretical assumptions, we fused them. We then used the fused framework to evaluate how the United Kingdom’s COVID-19 responses affected community flourishing. Specifically, we examined the effect of two competing social forces—Brexit and the Black Lives Matter movement—on pulling Britons toward a flourishing or distressed community
