Resisting Immigration Detention
2016
The aim of this article is to provide a normative analysis of the ways in which immigrants resist immigration detention. After having outlined (in Section 2) some general features that make immigration detention a rather abnormal condition for human beings to be kept in, I distinguish three main forms of resistance to it: institutionalized, non-institutionalized, and anti-institutional. I first spell out, in Section 3, some individual characteristics of these forms of resistance. Then (in Sections 4 and 5), using Italy as my test case, I suggest, for each of these forms, an interpretation of their normative meaning (that is, their meaning according to both the relevant legal rules and their…
The Understanding of Human Rights and Rule of Law from the Perspective of Kohlberg’s Theory
2015
Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are considered to be the foundations of the normative order of modern societies (Habermas, 1996). Even though the universal validity of human rights is often criticized, they represent an ethical minimum consensus of the global society as conventions on human rights have been ratified by more than 150 states.

Transforming adult education from neo-liberal to holistically inclusive adult education in Baltic States
2021
In this chapter, we explore the data of nation-wide adult education programmes in three Baltic states. These programmes incorporate informal learning elements from the perspective of active participatory citizenship (APC) and, therefore, this provision aims to enhance opportunities for young adults in vulnerable positions. We posit that the concept of active participatory citizenship (EduMAP Concept Note 2017) that aims at developing young adults’ politico-legal, socio-cultural and socio-economic proactiveness could be used for illustrating these educational programmes from the holistic education aspects (Jarvis and Parker 2005). Holistic approach to adult education (AE) denotes that knowle…

La investigación sociológica ha acompañado el proceso de diseño, real…
Professional development for teachers: a world of change
2009
As the industrialised world shifted to an interdependent and global society, formal schooling was quickly recognised as a major factor in achieving a knowledge society of lifelong learners capable of transforming and revitalising organisations. Teachers were encouraged to engage in learning together to improve teaching and, by extension, improve learning for the children in their care. This article identifies three emerging trends intended to broaden teachers' learning and enhance their practices through continuous professional development: glocalisation, mentoring, and re‐thinking teacher evaluation. The body of the article indicates how these three trends are unfolding in Australia, Engla…
Conditions of cultural citizenship: intersections of gender, race and age in public debates on family migration
2015
This article analyses problem framings in public debates on family migration in Finland. The study focuses on the less-examined category of age and how it intersects with gender, race and religion. We examine the discursive context within which parliamentarians and the media negotiate questions of migration policies, belonging and citizenship. Our analysis identifies problem framings by combining frame analysis with the ‘What is the problem represented to be?’ approach, which understands policies as problematizations. We found that the debates held up the rather common notion of vulnerable women and children as groups that tighter family migration policies protect. The debates excluded cert…
The Faces of Civil Justice in the Global Society of the 21st Century
2015
Over time the consecration of political and democratic social models have allowed to convert the process into a category of an instrument or alternative in exercising the fundamental right to Access Justice; it is an Instrument, certainly, but it is an indispensable instrument in achieving this and it became a guarantor of citizens, with the right to claim protection and to do so from parameters that responded from a formal structure to the achievements that modern constitutionalism has achieved. We might think the world has changed. And with this change society and Justice has also undergone transformations. The panorama that we live offers us a desperate search for a model of Justice in w…
Infoética y derechos humanos.
2009
En los últimos años, se ha popularizado el término “Infoética”, empleado para analizar los problemas éticos que está generando la sociedad de la información, de ahí que en este texto se realice una aproximación a este concepto, describiendo algunos de sus usos más habituales. Este análisis se completa con un repaso de las razones que han llevado a algunos autores a revisar el planteamiento de los derechos humanos como consecuencia de las transformaciones que provoca la sociedad del conocimiento. Finalmente, se abordan las posibilidades que presenta la Infoética para construir una nueva dimensión de la ciudadanía: la ciudadanía digital, que surge por la aparición del ciberespacio, la socieda…
