Whose media freedom is being defended? Norm contestation in international media freedom campaigns
This article analyses how international advocacy campaigns approach and define media freedom, and what influences this process. It does this through a two-year case study of the Media Freedom Coalition—an intergovernmental partnership of over 50 countries—that included 55 interviews with key stakeholders, observations, and document analysis. This revelatory case sheds light on how norms of media freedom are constructed and contested on the intern…
Examining the Effects of Drug-Related Killings on Philippine Conditional Cash Transfer Beneficiaries in Metro Manila, 2016-2017
Is the Philippine War on Drugs a ‘War on the Poor’? Focusing on beneficiaries of the Philippine Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) or Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program as the most legible cohort of poor, we examine the effects of the anti-narcotics campaign on impoverished families in Metro Manila from April 2016 to December 2017. From field validation and interviews with families affected by drug-related killings (DRKs), we find that at least 333…
Misplaced Priorities, Unnecessary Effects
Despite one of the world's strictest and longest lockdown policies, the Philippines' securitized approach to containing the COVID-19 pandemic has led to unnecessary suffering, especially in poor communities. This article explores how the Philippine government's prioritizing of punitive policies such as detaining quarantine violators or attempting to decongest Manila by sending poor families to neighbouring provinces, magnifies existing socio-spat…
Disruptive Behaviors and Maternal Responsibility
Feelings of stigma and self-blame were studied among 62 Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican mothers of 4- to 10-year-old children with disruptive behaviors. Data were collected and analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Results indicated that 42% blamed themselves for their children’s behaviors, and 39% felt stigmatized by others. Feelings of stigma and self-blame were not significantly associated. Mothers who blamed themselves had a lowe…
Modes of Entry Into Services for Young Children With Disruptive Behaviors
The authors undertook this study to describe Latina mothers' professional help seeking for their young children's disruptive behaviors. They interviewed 62 Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican first-time help seekers and found four modes of entry: (a) coercion, (b) acceptance of offered referral, (c) responsive and resourceful help seeking subsequent to school reports of behavior problems, and (d) a laborious and convoluted path that was characteri…
Maternal Cognitions about Distress and Anxiety in Young Latino Children with Disruptive Behaviors
This study was undertaken to describe how Caribbean Latina mothers understand distress in children, the behaviors that they attribute to it, and the labels that they use to express their cognitions. Findings from 62 mothers of young children with disruptive behaviors indicated that mothers made attributions about anxiety in 40% of the children with a high likeli-hood of clinical anxiety. Hyperactive and restless behavior, but not children's fears…
Measuring Bilingual Children's Receptive Vocabularies
Bilingual Receptive Vocabulary in Hispanic Preschool Children
Hispanic preschoolers in Miami, who are economically and culturally similar to the generalpopulation, were tested on receptive vocabulary in English and Spanish. English scores, even for children from homes where some English is spoken, were more than one and a haif standard deviations below the mean. The Spanish mean, by contrast was 95, a small, though significant difference from the Spanish norm. Factors other than vocabulary knowledge that mi…
