Telic prioritarianism and disability discrimination
I argue against John, Millum and Wasserman’s position that telic prioritarianism justifies morally acceptable discrimination against persons with disabilities. I propose alternative considerations that explain why disability discrimination in the lifesaving cases JMW discuss is morally problematic
Competing claims egalitarianism, hybrid egalitarianism, or neither
Michael Otsuka, Alex Voorhoeve and Marc Fleurbaey have proposed competing claims egalitarianism and hybrid egalitarianism in their attempts to justify giving priority to the worse off, especially in cases involving risk. However, neither view adequately explains why it matters that some are worse off than others. And combining these accounts within a broader egalitarian theory or modular principle is problematic. I sketch an alternative version o…
Three Kinds of Prioritarianism
In the philosophical literature, prioritarianism is generally given either a teleological or contractualist rendering. Both forms of prioritarianism, I argue, are unsatisfactory, which creates a need for an alternative conception of prioritarianism. I develop a noncontractualist version of deontic prioritarianism that is superior to both teleological and contractualist prioritarianism with respect to grounding the normativity of absolute levels o…
Armonización iberoamericana de los instrumentos PCAT para la evaluación del primer nivel de atención
El objetivo fue armonizar las ediciones de PCAT (PE-proveedores o equipos de Salud, FE-gestores, AE-usuarios adultos y CE-usuarios niños y adolescentes). Entre sí y, adicionalmente, adecuar aún más el contenido de los instrumentos al contexto cultural, sanitario y epidemiológico latinoamericano, en función de la evidencia científica publicada y el desarrollo tecnológico en los procesos de atención, manteniendo los principios teóricos y operativos…
Language, neoliberalism, and the commodification of pedagogy
Although it has revealed the material conditions under which language education programmes are implemented worldwide, research on neoliberalism and language commodification has not yet adequately centred pedagogy. Thus, processes commodifying ‘objects’ other than language as product go unnoticed in educational settings. Drawing on a four-year ethnography in Hong Kong, this article details the processes whereby social actors formulated pedagogy as…
Reflexive language and ethnic minority activism in Hong Kong
This article engages with Archer’s call to further research on reflexivity and social change under conditions of late modernity (2007, 2010, 2012) from the perspective of existing work on reflexive discourse in the language disciplines (Silverstein 1976, Lucy 1993). Drawing from a linguistic ethnography of the networked trajectories of a group of working-class South Asian youth in Hong Kong (Pérez-Milans & Soto 2014), we analyze the trajectory of…
Carbon and Nitrogen Export from Semiarid Uplands to Perennial Rivers
Investigations of biogeochemical processes in semiarid environments have largely focused on either plot studies in the uplands or on in-stream and near stream reaction or transport studies. Recent research permits us to synthesize a conceptual model of how uplands and riparian systems are linked in semiarid climates specific to the San Pedro River basin in Arizona. These studies have demonstrated significant export of both dissolved and sediment …
