Teaching with Feminist Judgments: A Global Conversation

This conversational-style essay is an exchange among fourteen professors—representing thirteen universities across five countries—with experience teaching with feminist judgments. Feminist judgments are ‘shadow’ court decisions rewritten from a feminist perspective, using only the precedent in effect and the facts known at the time of the original decision. Scholars in Canada, England, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland, India, and Mexico have published (or are currently producing) written collections of feminist judgments that demonstrate how feminist perspectives could have changed the legal reasoning or outcome (or both) in important legal cases. This essay begins to explore the vast pedagogical potential of feminist judgments. The contributors to this conversation describe how they use feminist judgments in the classroom; how students have responded to the judgments; how the professors achieve specific learning objectives through teaching with feminist judgments; and how working with feminist judgments—whether studying them, writing them, or both—can help students excavate the multiple social, political, economic, and even personal factors that influence the development of legal rules, structures, and institutions. The primary takeaway of the essay is that feminist judgments are a uniquely enriching pedagogical tool that can broaden the learning experience. Feminist judgments invite future lawyers, and indeed any reader, to re-imagine what the law is, what the law can be, and how to make the law more responsive to the needs of all people

“Por un buen con/vivir. Prácticas comunicativas y producciones sociales emergentes en el espacio público contemporáneo”. 16H377

El proyecto busca poner en foco prácticas comunicativas y producciones sociales emergentes en el espacio público contemporáneo –con anclaje territorial en Posadas y expansión en los medios y en la web- que pueden ser interpretadas como indicios de nuevas y democráticas formas de relacionamiento social y de imaginación política, que sin dejar de estar atravesadas por conflictos de clase, de género, generacionales, étnicos, etc ; juegan a favor de sociedades más pluralistas, equitativas, democráticas y apuestan a un “buen vivir/vivir pleno” no sólo para todos los humanos sino también para “todo lo viviente” (Zafaroni:2012). Dado que el objeto a construir requiere problematizar dimensiones conceptuales claves (lo político, lo comunicativo, lo social y lo público) mediante su articulación en diferentes interfaces de lo público (espacios urbanos, mediáticos y digitales), la investigación requiere de la construcción de un diseño metodológico que integre estrategias multimetódicas y enfoques contrastivos de análisis e interpretación de datos

Selected clinical features of the head and neck in women with Turner syndrome and the 45,X/46,XY karyotype

  Wstęp: Kariotyp 45,X/46,XY u kobiet z zespołem Turnera (TS) występuje bardzo rzadko. Obecność chromosomu Y w kariotypie powoduje różnice fenotypowe i wzrost ryzyka chorób nowotworowych. Celem badania jest ocena różnic fenotypowych, nie związanych z układem rozrodczym, pomiędzy pacjentkami z TS i chromosomem Y w kariotypie, w porównaniu do pozostałych kobiet z TS. Materiał i metody: Występowanie tych wybranych cech w obrębie głowy i szyi, które często występują u kobiet z TS, w oparciu o wyniki badania podmiotowego i przedmiotowego, określono u ośmiu kobiet z TS i kariotypem 45,X/46,XY, a następnie porównano z odpowiednio u 164 kobiet z TS i innymi kariotypami oraz u 30 kobiet grupy kontrolnej. Średnie wysokości ciała obu grup kobiet z TS wynosiły odpowiednio 142,5 ± 7,2 i 144,9 ± 7,2 cm i były znamiennie niższe niż w grupie kontrolnej (165,2 ± 6,6 cm). Badania przeprowadzono w latach 1995–2014. Wyniki: Spośród 28 badanych parametrów, 15 częściej obserwowano u kobiet z TS i kariotypem 45,X/46,XY niż w grupie kontrolnej. Częstość występowania nieprawidłowości w obrębie tkanek miękkich jamy ustnej oraz obrzęku limfatycznego w dzieciństwie różniły istotnie obie grupy kobiet z TS. Wnioski: Różnice pomiędzy wynikami badania podmiotowego i przedmiotowego w odniesieniu do głowy i szyi, kobiet z TS i kariotypem 45,X/46,XY i kobiet z TS i innymi kariotypami a grupą kontrolną są porównywalne. W porównaniu z kobietami z TS i innymi kariotypami, u pacjentek z TS i kariotypem 45,X/46,XY częściej występują nieprawidłowości w obrębie tkanek miękkich jamy ustnej i rzadziej w dzieciństwie obrzęk limfatyczny. (Endokrynol Pol 2017; 68 (1): 47–52)    Introduction: A 45,X/46,XY karyotype in women with Turner syndrome (TS) is very rare. The presence of a Y chromosome in the karyotype causes phenotypic differences and increased risk for neoplastic disease, compared to TS-women with other karyotypes. Our study addresses an issue: non-genital phenotypic differences between TS-patients with a Y-chromosome of their karyotype and TS-women without it. Material and methods: Results from patient history/physical examinations of the head and neck of eight TS-women and the 45,X/46,XY karyotype were compared with those observed in 164 TS-women and 30 controls. The heights of TS-groups: 142.5 ± 7.2 and 144.9 ± 7.2 cm were lower than controls (165.2 ± 6.6 cm). Participants were examined from 1995 to 2014. Results: Among 28 study parameters, 15 were more frequently observed in TS women with the 45,X/46,XY karyotype compared to controls. Only abnormalities in the oral cavity and a history of childhood lymphoedema, differed significantly in the TS groups. Conclusions: With respect to the head and neck, the patient history and physical examination results of TS-women and the 45,X/46,XY karyotype and TS and other karyotypes revealed similar differences compared to controls. Compared to others TS patients, 45,X/46,XY individuals might more frequently have oral cavity soft tissue abnormalities and more rarely a history of childhood lymphoedema.

Simulation of the pulse current passage through the neck

Настоящая статья посвящена процессу моделирования прохождения импульсного тока через ткани шейного отдела, главным образом через нервы, методом конечных элементов. Моделирование производилось в среде Ansys Maxwell. Рассмотренный процесс моделирования учитывает физические характеристики тканей, а так же окружающей среды и анатомию шеи. Итогом моделирования являются построенные картины интегральной плотности тока в разрезе шеи для разных частот, а так же графики зависимости максимальной плотности тока в нервных тканях от частоты.This article is devoted to the process of simulation of the pulse current passage through the neck, mainly through the nerves, by finite element method. For modelling was used - Ansys Maxwell environment. The above process of modeling takes into account the physical characteristics of the tissues, environment and the anatomy of the neck. The results of the simulation are figures of the integral current density in the neck section at different frequencies, as well as graphs of the maximum current density in the nerve tissues on frequency

Doing Better for Child Migrants

Professor Ann Laquer Estin’s Child Migrants and Child Welfare: Toward a Best Interests Approach makes several important contributions to our understanding of the complicated legal questions posed by a timely and too often tragic phenomenon: large numbers of unaccompanied child migrants, including many coming into the United States. Estin helpfully disentangles and explores the welter of possibly applicable laws, from U.S. constitutional provisions to international human rights laws, federal immigration laws, and state family laws. Her careful analysis also exposes significant gaps, pointing out how some issues fall between relevant bodies of law. Although each of the sources of law canvassed in the article is animated by its own set of values and assumptions, Estin’s bottom line is that “we can and should do better” for the children in question. As an American family law expert, Estin identifies her principal area of concern as “assur[ing] that the federal agencies who take custody of unaccompanied minors are adequately addressing children’s needs for care and protection as the process unfolds, including their need for legal representation”—responsibilities assigned to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in Department of Health and Human Services. Given her expertise and her central concern, Estin recommends infusing all the different areas of law pertinent to child migrants with due regard for family law’s ubiquitous “best interests principle.” For those of us who lament how harm to children has become acceptable collateral damage in the pursuit of stricter immigration laws and enforcement practices, Estin’s call to focus on children and to do better for them comes none too soon. This response examines whether the best interests principle is up to the job, in light of lessons learned from child custody disputes and controversies about child migrants, past and present

Telling the Story of Justice Sandra Day O\u27Connor

This Article critiques Evan Thomas’s biography First: Sandra Day O’Connor by examining both intimacy and gender. Focusing on the role of gender, which this piece opines to be thin and unsatisfying. By rejecting the label “feminist,” Thomas ignores “feminist practical reasoning” as an explanation of Justice O’Connor’s approach to deciding cases. In addition, Thomas’s lack of focus on Justice O’Connor’s concurring opinion in J.E.B. v. Alabama, and specifically her ideas as they relate to cultural feminism. In conclusion, one must consider stories, including Thomas’s work, in the whole context, including the role of the storytellers themselves
