Lasten osallisuuden jännitteet varhaiskasvatuksessa
2021
Lasten osallisuus on varhaiskasvatuksessa pedagogisen toiminnan keskeinen tavoite. Osallisuuden toteutuminen voi olla kuitenkin käytännössä vaikeaa. Sitä hankaloittavat lasten osallisuuden epäselvä teoreettinen määrittely, tiedon puute osallisuutta tukevista käytännöistä ja toimintatavoista sekä varhaiskasvatuksen resursoinnin kysymykset. Varhaiskasvatuksen lapsiryhmät ovat yhä monimuotoisempia, ja myös siksi on tärkeää kehittää kasvattajien osaamista lasten osallisuuden huomioon ottamisessa. Jotta lasten osallisuus ja oikeudet osataan tunnistaa, on tunnettava niihin liittyvää tutkimustietoa ja lainsäädäntöä sekä uusia toimintatapoja. Artikkelissa tarkastelemme, millaista oli Oiva – Lasten …

Homeschooling, freedom of conscience, and the school as republican sanctuary: an analysis of arguments representing polar conceptions of the secular …
2016
This paper examines how stances and understandings pertaining to whether home education is civically legitimate within liberal democratic contexts can depend on how one conceives normative roles of the secular state and the religious neutrality that is commonly associated with it. For the purposes of this paper, home education is understood as a manifestation of an educational philosophy ideologically based on a given conception of the good. Two polar conceptions of secularism, republican and liberal-pluralist, are explored. Republican secularists declare that religious expressions do not belong in the public sphere and justify this exclusion by promoting religious neutrality as an end in i…
Tackling racism seriously: Human rights and the underpinnings of ethnic recognition
2017
Ante el persistente reto del racismo, los estados de Europa occidental están buscando maneras de mejorar las actitudes de su población hacia los inmigrantes no blancos procedentes de los países en desarrollo, así como hacia sus descendientes. Sin embargo, dos importantes obstáculos dificultan la puesta en marcha de ambiciosas reformas antirracistas. Por un lado, la enorme brecha entre el número de votantes nativos y de origen extranjero, combinada con la relativa inmunidad de los primeros a la discriminación étnica, hace electoralmente difícil mantener el tema en la agenda política, especialmente con la competencia de partidos de extrema derecha y retórica xenófoba. Por otra parte, los part…
Cultural Heritage and Development: a look at the 2030 Agenda and the role of heritage.
2020
En la Agenda 2030 difícilmente vamos a ubicar referencias a la cultura, y aún menos al patrimonio cultural. En su redacción, los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) dejan poco margen a la cultura y al patrimonio como medio humano para alcanzar esos objetivos. Este artículo analiza la presencia y ausencia del patrimonio en los ODS aprobados en 2015 y nos presenta cómo muchas de sus metas se lograrían más eficazmente si se tiene en consideración esta dimensión intrínsecamente humana de participar, generar y abastecerse de cultura, además de ver cómo, si nos centramos en el patrimonio desde un enfoque en derechos, identificaremos caminos que puedan más fácilmente favorecer la consecución …
“To Own, or not to Own?” A multilevel analysis of intellectual property right policies' on academic entrepreneurship
2017
The political environment around universities has led them to create an infrastructure to manage academic inventions. While some consider that the advantages of a university entrepreneurial structure outweigh any potential negative effects, others question their detrimental effect on academic scientists’ entrepreneurial behavior. However, this debate remains unresolved as none of these two views have been fully empirically supported. Using multilevel models for a population of 2230 professors in 27 universities in Canada (82 individuals per unit on average), we test the effect of three features of institutional intellectual property right policy characteristics, namely, property rights (own…
