Mathematics with|in Conocimientos: A Mathematical Embodiment and Conscious-Raising Experience
Mathematics interwoven with Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) EntreMunods is an ontological playground for youth liberation, where mathematical learning helped to create an experience where youth empower themselves by engaging in critical social science research. In this study, seven stages of conocimientos are expanded to help understand how consciousness shifts while engaged in mathematics. Thematic analysis of student reflections on t…
Stories we make: Speculative fiction and rememorative futures in civic learning
This study examines how autobiographical narratives and speculative fiction from a group of teachers shaped the design of an alternate-reality game (ARG). Drawing from educators’ lived experiences as youth during and after Uruguay’s military dictatorship (1973–1984), the project explored how rememorative storytelling informed the speculative worldbuilding that later guided the creation of a critical data literacy game-based curriculum. This paper…

National sovereignty across city networks: Singapore and the diplomacy of a global city-state
Even though the expanding relevance of city diplomacy has unsettled the traditional state-centered conceptualization of international politics, the growing transnational dynamism of city governments is still embedded in, and structurally constrained by, a state-centric international polity. We exemplify this through consideration of Singapore’s exceptionalism as a city-state, and what this means for its capacity for global self-promotion as an ur…
It's Like They Are Using Our Data Against Us.” Counter‐Cartographies of AI Literacy
This study explores how youth engage with literacy practices in the age of AI through the use of counter‐cartographies within the Nayah‐Irú curriculum. By critically examining digital platforms and the underlying algorithms, students embarked on a journey to understand and challenge the pervasive influence of artificial intelligence in their lives. The curriculum encouraged students to create alternative narratives (counter‐maps) that represent t…
The logic of appropriateness of unity in diversity: The institutionalization of a city network in global governance
Conceptualizing city networks as institutionalized organizations allows unveiling the internal dynamics beneath their increasing dynamism in global politics. The article taps into the insightful yet uncharted theoretical framework of sociological institutionalism to analyze United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). The logic of appropriateness of unity in diversity drives the process of institutionalization of UCLG, constructing the common and …
City Governments as Political Actors of Global Governance: The (Winding) Road of UCLG Toward Multilateral Recognition
The transnational rise of city networks is increasingly associated with the emergence of hybrid configurations beyond the public sector that contribute to technocratic decisionmaking processes and the depoliticization of global governance. This article takes issue with this argument. By analyzing the legitimation strategy used by the global city network United Cities and Local Governments ( UCLG ) vis-à-vis the UN system, the article contends tha…
Urban water governance as policy boosterism: Seoul’s legitimation at the local and global scale
While cities gain international momentum, they increasingly connect to innovate and learn from each other. The attraction of attention and resources lies beneath the economic reasons that drive most of the international entrepreneurship of city governments. In parallel to common market-based strategies, cities also harness their key internal policies as value-added elements to share among peers in order to enhance their transnational reputation. …
Framing the Localization of the Global Agendas: Orchestrating the Political Agency of Cities Within the Local-Global Nexus
The article delves into the legitimation strategies enacted by city networks to raise their profile within the state-centric global governance architecture, contributing to the body of literature on the rising transnational dynamism of cities from the unexplored angle of legitimacy. It offers a case study on the largest of these networks, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). Building on interpretive policy analysis, the article identifies …
On the Difficulty of Budget Allocation in Claims Problems with Indivisible Items and Prices
In this paper we study the class of claims problems where the amount to be divided is perfectly divisible and claims are made on indivisible units of several items. Each item has a price, and the available amount falls short to be able to cover all the claims at the given prices. We propose several properties that may be of interest in this particular framework. These properties represent the common principles of fairness, efficiency, and non-man…
Productive tensions? The “city” across geographies of planetary urbanization and the urban age
A shift away from the city as the default unit of analysis in urban studies is one of the widely agreed-upon advances brought about by the planetary urbanization thesis. Yet academic critique of methodological cityism has gained traction during a period when the city is not only globally prominent through the “urban age” discourse but has also been consolidated as a key scale of policy action in multilateral agendas. Rather than focusing on a new…
Population Structure and the Human Development Index
Qualified voting systems
Inequality Decomposition and Human Development
The human development index, which takes into account achievements in health, educa tion, and income, is considered a good measure of the social attainments of a country. The distribution of human development in the world is irnbalanced and the degree of cohesion is low. This inequality ha.s varied during recent years. In this paper we present evidence that improvements in the cohesion of human development are mostly attributed to educa tion, w…
Closed primaries versus top-two primaries
A Newer Human Development Index
The Human Development Index has experienced substantial modifications in the 2010 edition of the Human Development Report (changes in some of the variables, a different aggregation procedure, and the introduction of distributive considerations, among others). Those changes respond to some well-known shortcomings of the traditional design of this index and entail substantial improvements. There are still some inconsistencies in the new constructio…
Diversity in Definition: Integrating History and Student Attitudes in Understanding Heritage Learners of Spanish in New Mexico
Although the definition of heritage language learner (HLLs) has been widely explored, researchers tend to base their definitions on learner proficiency. While such a premise is a safe and conservative way to identify heritage students, it pays little mind to inclusivity. Indeed, it may place the university in the role of cultural gatekeeper, excluding on linguistic grounds learners who might otherwise identify with a given heritage language. This…
Modelado de sistemas complejos mediante simulación basada en agentes y mediante dinámica de sistemas
Este trabajo compara dos técnicas de modelado de sistemas complejos: la simulación basada en agentes y la dinámica de sistemas. Esta comparación se lleva a cabo dentro del marco general del proceso de modelado científico. Los autores concluyen que la principal diferencia entre las dos metodologías se encuentra en el proceso de abstracción que cada una de ellas realiza para construir el modelo formal a partir del sistema complejo observado. Esta d…
Success Versus Decisiveness: Conceptual Discussion and Case Study
In this article, we vindicate the relevance of the notion of success or satisfaction for the normative assessment of voting rules. We provide arguments in support of this view and emphasize the conceptual and analytical differences between this notion and that of decisiveness. The conclusions are illustrated in the case study provided by three different voting rules that have been proposed for the Council of Ministers of the European Union
A Children's Hispanic Background Scale
A 10-minute Children's Hispanic Background Scale, useful in identifving Hispanic acculturation level, is described. The 30-item scale assessed Spanish usage by the subject and significant others (23 items), food preference (2 itemns), and general cultural exposure (5 items). Ss were 92 Chicano fourth-grade children. Test-retest reliability was .92, p < .001; validity rs were .50, p < .01, with a school bilingual scale and .58, p < .001, with SES.…
Effects of Acculturation on Field Independence among Chicano Children
Chicano and Anglo fourth-grade children were categorized into three acculturation levels and contrasted on two tests of field independence. It was predicted that an interaction should occur between level of acculturation and intrinsic versus extrinsic reinforcement on the contention that Chicano socialization, resulting supposedly in field dependence, would produce differential reinforcement effects. No relationship occurred between level of accu…
Social Class and Ethnicity Effects on Clinical Judgments
To resolve conflict between earlier studies finding contradictory recommendations on need for professional help of middle- vs lower-class persons given normal, neurotic, and psychotic behavior descriptions, and to explore ethnicity effects, 92 students (70 Anglo, 22 Chicano) rated fictitious biographical vignettes. A pro-middle-class bias was found consistent with Routh and King's study but inconsistent with that by Schofield and Oakes. Also cont…
