Sabin Center Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism Plan
Get PDFThe climate crisis is a crisis of unprecedented scope and scale. It arises from everywhere, and impacts everyone. But some – some countries, some companies, some communities, some individuals – are more responsible than others; and some are more impacted, and more vulnerable, than others. Climate change has made clear that diversity increases the power of potential solutions and the resilience to adverse impacts – for ecosystems, social systems, economic systems and their various hybrids and combinations. At the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law we believe that by creating and fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism, we will improve the strength and resilience of the Center, as well as the students, researchers and scholars, law and policy practitioners, and maybe even the planet we seek to teach, inform, collaborate with and protect.
The Sabin Center Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism (DEIA) Plan arose from within a larger assessment and planning effort at the Earth Institute that was initiated in 2019, and the imperative to consider and address DEIA issues at the Center intensified in the midst of the national reckoning with racial injustice brought about by police killings and the growth of white nationalism in Spring 2020. The Plan that follows articulates our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism among our staff, and the people, groups and partners with whom we work, as well as in the issues with which we engage. Through it, we state in the clearest of terms that we welcome, value and respect people’s differences and that we know that by inspiring, developing and accessing a broad array of perspectives, skills and ideas we can be even more effective in achieving our mission

Climate Change Laws of the World
No full textClimate Change Laws of the World and Climate Change Litigation Databases compile several years of data collection by both the Grantham Research Institute and the Sabin Center, including the collaboration of Grantham Institute with GLOBE International on a series of Climate Legislation Studies. Climate Change Laws of the World includes national-level climate change legislation and policies globally. The database covers climate and climate-related laws, as well as laws and policies promoting low carbon transitions, which reflects the relevance of climate policy in areas including energy, transport, land use, and climate resilience

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
