Building restorative school cultures
In response to the harmful effects of punitive school discipline in the United States, there has been a call for change to move towards non-exclusionary and non-discriminatory interventions, such as peer mediation. In peer mediation programs, a cohort of students at a given school are trained on how to mediate conflicts between peers, working towards mutually beneficial solutions. While this alternative approach to school discipline has been adop…
Navigating history and paradox
This essay assesses Susan Sturm’s What Might Be: Confronting Racism to Transform Our Institutions as a major contribution to Critical Race Theory, socio-legal theory, and the practice of institutional anti-racism. It argues that Sturm’s central achievement is to reframe anti-racism not as a discrete legal remedy or diversity initiative, but as a sustained institutional practice of navigating paradox. Drawing on Sturm’s earlier work on complex dis…

All important legal and policy changes concerning affirmative action have their roots in conflict over the meaning of constitutional equality. It is not surprising, therefore, that the neoliberal account of racial equality would be…

The Devil is a familiar figure in these festivals and shows strong inclination to assume comic, ridiculous and grotesque forms, becoming target of popular mockery, perhaps with the aim of provide a remedy against the terrifying vision that appears at other occasions and genres.

Translating Yonnondio by Precedent and Evidence
A song, a poem of itself-the word itself a dirge, Amid the wilds, the rocks, the storm and wintry night, To me such misty, strange tableaux the syllables calling up
