Los “políticos” del destacamento penitenciario de Benagéber (Valencia, 1941-1944)
La presencia de presos trabajando y redimiendo condena en la construcción de embalses al término de la Guerra Civil, me impresionó desde que tuve conocimiento de ello al empezar mi trabajo en la Confederación del Júcar. Siendo algo comentado, no se concretaba en qué obras, número de presos, ni para quien trabajaron. Durante mis estudios de geografía e historia, comencé a investigar sobre el embalse de Alarcón, lo que me llevó a confirmar que fue …
Jornalistas expostos e vulneráveis
O jornalismo é uma atividade de risco, que pode afetar a integridade física, a saúde mental e a convivência social dos seus. Nos últimos anos, acompanhamos a emergência e consolidação de outros perigos relacionados ao ecossistema digital que rondam as redações, comprometem a liberdade comunicacional e a segurança de organizações e jornalistas. Para discutir isso, analisamos 80 relatórios que registram formas de cerceamento, violações a jornalista…

Scale of Agricultural Production, Civic Engagement, and Community Welfare
Using data from the Census of Agriculture and other secondary sources, we examine the relationship between scale of farm operations in a county and the well-being of local residents. Following earlier work by C. Wright Mills and Walter Goldschmidt, we hypothesize that in agriculture dependent counties that are dominated by a small handful of very large farms, the level of community welfare will be significantly lower than in counties in which agr…
