The Human Factor
Objective This article measures Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers’ punitive biases in immigration enforcement, comparing rates of dissent with low‐ and high‐risk classification scores.

Immigration Detention, Risk and Human Rights
Spiderman’s Web and the Governmentality of Electronic Immigrant Detention
The article examines the governmentality of noncustodial forms of immigration control over immigrant bodies. It uses the Spiderman cartoon character Venom (Black Spiderman) as a metaphor for expansive and shape-shifting state sovereign power. This plenary power is a machination of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the courts. Like the venom symbiote it takes form from the state having contact with immigrants. Specifically, the article…

Attitudes towards Roma Minority Rights in Hungary
In 1994, after the enactment of Hungary's Minority Rights legislation (herein the Act), representatives from India rather than Roma themselves were invited to represent the Roma at the signing ceremony, against the request of Roma leaders. During an interview in August 2000, former member of Parliament and Roma leader Aladar Horvath describes the events this way: [t]hey invited all the representatives of the nationalities, and the representative …
Opportunity lost? The social (dis)integration of Roma minority rights in post‐transition Hungary
In 1993 the Hungarian National Assembly enacted minority rights legislation that permitted minority self government (MSG) for Roma. The MSG mission is to take steps that assure social integration for Roma in the Hungarian society. This article introduces a mixed methodology of survey research and open‐ended interviews, to examine the effectiveness of Roma minority self‐government. It argues that social integration correlates to local MSG effectiv…

Joining Academy and Community in an Educational Venture
THIS NOTE DESCRIBES a teaching-learning center designed to enhance students' agency in their own education and in learning social responsibility (Wright 1989). Scholars since John Dewey have experimented with forms of pedagogy designed to ameliorate the adverse and pacifying effects of the traditional classroom (Argyris and Schon 1974; Dewey 1916; Friere 1970; Kolb 1984). Excellent education, they assert, is based on active and engaged learning. …
