The Italian legal clinics movement: Data and prospects
2015
<p>It is not more than 5 years since legal clinics were founded in Italian Universities: a very recent history indeed and similar to that of other Western European countries. I will try to explain this through some data collected by an inquiry that I ran in order to have a more detailed map of this phenomena and to conjecture its future evolution.</p><p>In the following paragraphs I will present the data inquiry and I will try to explain the process of establishing the Italian movement for legal education, its options and challenges.</p><p>It is worth pointing out why I use the term “movement”. What is going on in Italy, and I think elsewhere, is not simply the…
Intersecciones críticas. Experiencias y estrategias desde la museología y el feminismo gitano, bajo el prisma del covid-19 = Critical Intersections. …
2020
La pandemia de 2020 enfrentó las áreas que tratan la memoria desde los márgenes con la necesidad de transformar sus experiencias en estrategias con potencial de futuro. El artículo busca reflejar la intersección entre dos campos de acción cultural comprometida: el de algunos museos valencianos y el de las asociaciones de mujeres gitanas, vistas también desde el ámbito local. El objeto de nuestro análisis son dos vertientes de la actuación cultural emancipadora: las experiencias, fenómenos a menudo caóticos y coyunturales, y las estrategias razonadas, que unen prácticas del conocimiento crítico hasta ahora no contiguas. El estado de alarma definió estas ramas estratégicas como inclusión digi…
Doing Research for and With Others : A Researcher's Relationship With Research Content
2022
The chapter discusses the question of social justice in social science research by problematizing the researcher-research content relationship and its guiding principle framework Science-Society-Me. With a focus on early career researchers, the author draws on her own PhD research experience to highlight the social justice tension inherent in the normative approaches and methods for selecting research topic, collecting data and relating with research participants, and analyzing and interpreting data especially in empirical research with fellow human beings. Drawing on the theory of affect, the chapter centralizes the position, biography and experience of the researcher, and the relationship…
Relationships among perceived justice, customers' satisfaction, and behavioral intentions: the moderating role of gender.
2001
This article tested the gender differences in the relationships between perceptions of justice, customers' satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. The sample consisted of 334 subjects (205 men and 129 women) surveyed in 38 hotels located in Spain. A questionnaire was used to measure distributive, procedural, and interactional justice as well as customers' responses of satisfaction and intentions. Analysis showed that the correlation between scores for distributive justice and customers' satisfaction as well as that between distributive justice and intentions were greater for men than for women. In contrast, the sex differences in the links of procedural and interactional justice to satisf…
Introduction to Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICTD) Minitrack: Contributing to Human Development and Social Justice
2015
This minitrack explores opportunities to use Information and communication technologies to promote human development and social justice. In the early days this field began with radio and television as tools to help improve the lives of marginalized communities, but this has now become a global movement of people using computers, the internet, and mobile devices to help human development. Information technologies have become more accessible, more used, and more relevant than ever in the lives of people around the world. A growing body of scholars and researchers work to understand, design, evaluate and critique ICTD interventions, which can bring numerous benefits as well as unanticipated ne…
Analysis of gender, age and disability representation in music education textbooks: A research update
2018
According to International and European Law, teachers are encouraged to analyse, challenge and to help to eliminate sexist stereotypes and distortions in curricular materials. We aimed to characterize and compare the efficacy of implementation of the gender equality-based approach in the Spanish educational system, through a content analysis of the illustrations in music education (ME) textbooks following a coding scheme constructed by the research team according to guidelines from previous studies about the depiction of women and girls in ME textbooks during two periods of Spanish democracy: before (1992–2005); and after (2006–2015). Our major findings were: (a) female characters were und…
Historicising Cultural Sport Psychology : Dare we De-centre Methodological Eurocentrism?
2021
In this essay we critically reflect on our respective journeys to and within cultural sport psychology (CSP). Since the inception, CSP scholars have advocated for opening the privileged academic space for marginalised voices and omitted subject themes; as well as cautioned researchers that the CSP project itself needs to be constantly revisited and reworked to keep it in progressive flux. We argue that, despite some notable advances, CSP remains a predominantly white Anglo-American intellec-tual space and that previous calls to engage with issues of power and privilege in the prevailing knowledge production have been largely unanswered. The lack of diverse voices within the CSP community ma…
The discussion on the social justice of the educational system in France
2015
International audience; This text, written for a German book on conceptions of school justice offers a reading of changes the approach to justice school in France since 1990 by the Human Sciences Research. It distinguishes three periods. Until the late 1990s, the issue of school justice was treated by the researchers only through the social inequalities of school careers. In the late 90s, the idea emerged that a renewal was necessary, it was necessary to take into account other items, ask the further question of the responsibility of the school itself in the genesis of inequality, and the injustice of inequality. Today, work on the school's justice takes shelter under three rival and partia…
Mechanisms linking authentic leadership to emotional exhaustion: The role of procedural justice and emotional demands in a moderated mediation approa…
2016
In order to gain more knowledge on how the positive leadership concept of authentic leadership impacts follower strain, this study tries to uncover procedural justice as an underlying mechanism. In contrast to previous work, we exclusively base our theoretical model on justice theories. Specifically, we hypothesize that authentic leadership negatively predicts emotional exhaustion through perceptions of procedural justice. We assume that this indirect effect is conditional on followers’ amount of emotional demands, and that the procedural justice-emotional exhaustion relationship is stronger when emotional demands are high. This finally results in a stronger exhaustion-reducing effect of au…
New Materialist Explorations into Language Education
2023
This open access book analyzes language education through a socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from the main focus of research activities and giving way to the materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter…
