Revisión de la literatura sobre personas cuidadoras ocultas o invisibilizadas
Authors: Peña Valderrama Sara
Published: February 2025

Existen grupos de personas cuidadoras con
características y circunstancias específicas que
las colocan en situación de vulnerabilidad. Este
colectivo ha sido denominado por la literatura
científica como “personas cuidadoras ocultas o
invisibilizadas”, en la medida en la que no llegan
a acceder a los servicios o recursos disponibles
para personas cuidadoras, o por lo menos, no
acceden en la misma medida en que pueden
hacerlo otras personas. Entre las razones de
esa falta de acceso, están el desconocimiento,
la postergación de la solicitud hasta que la
situación se vuelve insostenible o los sentimientos
de vergüenza y miedo al estigma social. Esta
revisión de la literatura tiene por objetivos, en
primer lugar, identificar aquellos perfiles de
personas cuidadoras ocultas que presentan una
mayor vulnerabilidad y, en segundo, analizar
los principales factores que intervienen en su
invisibilización, así como las necesidades y
problemas que esas personas enfrentan en su
labor de cuidado.
Estatus sozioekonomikoa, bakardadea eta depresioa heldu nagusien artean: zeharkako azterketa Espainian
Authors: Sánchez-Moreno Esteban , Gallardo-Peralta Lorena , Barrón López de Roda Ana , Rivera Álvarez Joaquín M.
Published: February 2025

Este estudio examina la relación entre el
estatus socioeconómico y la depresión y si
esa asociación se ve afectada por la soledad.
Se utilizó un diseño transversal en el que
participaron 887 mayores residentes en sus
hogares o en residencias en España. El riesgo
de sufrir depresión era significativamente
mayor entre quienes no habían completado la
educación primaria, significativamente menor
entre quienes tenían estudios universitarios y
significativamente mayor entre quienes no podían
llegar a fin de mes. Entre quienes experimentaban
soledad, el 57,5% corría riesgo de depresión,
en comparación con el 19% de quienes no
informaban de soledad. Sin embargo, cuando se
incorporaron las puntuaciones de la medida de
soledad, los coeficientes relativos a la educación
y las dificultades económicas dejaron de ser
significativos o se redujeron significativamente.
Los resultados muestran que la soledad puede
contribuir a explicar el papel que desempeñan las
desigualdades socioeconómicas en la depresión
entre las personas adultas mayores.
Las mesas de salud mental, una herramienta para el desarrollo de políticas locales en salud mental en Catalunya
Authors: Ferrer Elisenda
Published: February 2025

Las mesas de salud mental son una herramienta
para el desarrollo de políticas locales en salud
mental. Se definen como espacios de reflexión,
intercambio de recursos y trabajo colaborativo
para promocionar la atención integral de la salud
mental en un territorio determinado. Se apoyan en
el consenso, la horizontalidad y la autonomía para
su funcionamiento. En 2004, se creó la primera en
Catalunya y, tras sus 20 años de vida, son ya
46 las que funcionan en todo el país. A pesar de
sus dificultades y la falta de presupuesto en la
mayoría de los casos, se han consolidado como un
actor que aporta coordinación y cohesión para la
mejora de la salud mental a nivel local. Este texto
repasa su historia, estructura y funcionamiento,
y analiza la situación actual y los retos de futuro,
que no son pocos.

Exploring Medical Gaslighting: Efforts to Enhance Communication and Trust in Healthcare
Authors: Shane Kryss , Sood Nikhil , Slonim Anthony
Published: February 2025

Medical gaslighting, a phenomenon whereby healthcare providers may unintentionally dismiss or minimize patients’ concerns, is an emerging issue that poses a significant risk to patient safety. It can contribute to delayed diagnoses, mismanagement of care, and the exacerbation of health disparities, particularly among marginalized populations. Physician leaders, who play a key role in shaping institutional culture and advancing quality care, must recognize the impact of medical gaslighting and actively work toward solutions that balance the responsibilities of both physicians and patients. This article explores the connection between medical gaslighting, priming, and patient safety, focusing on unconscious biases, diagnostic errors, and communication barriers in clinical decision-making. The authors examine how priming — when prior experiences shape perceptions and decisions — can inadvertently exacerbate medical gaslighting. Addressing medical gaslighting requires systematic interventions, including educating about implicit bias, promoting patient advocacy, implementing evidence-based diagnostic protocols, and potential applications for artificial intelligence.
How Classical Hematology Aims to Meet the Growing Healthcare Needs of an Aging American Population
Authors: Shapiro Amy
Published: February 2025

Americans are both aging and living longer, presenting unique challenges to the field of classical hematology regarding patients served and the workforce treating them. Today, a critical shortage of classical hematologists in the United States is compounded by limited training opportunities for new providers. In response to the growing crisis, a classical hematology education program was developed as the first and only of its kind in the U.S., aiming to close the educational gap with a focus on rare bleeding disorders. The program helps replenish the supply of skilled hematologists and deepens providers’ understanding of classical hematology to help improve care outcomes. This article examines the need for the program, its structure, and offers a model for how other healthcare teams might confront similar shortages in their fields.

Authors: Ellema Gil , Alcartado Paterno , Casidsid John , Talledo Gelly Jose , De Leon, Jr. Jose
Published: February 2025

This study explores the values developed by student leaders in Lasallian higher education institutions (LSHEIs) during the shift to virtual learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It contends that the crisis brought on by the pandemic was a formative experience, leading to growth, development, and the acquisition of important leadership values. The study employed semi-structured interviews with nine student leaders from three LSHEIs in Southern Luzon using a qualitative descriptive approach. The participants were selected based on their active engagement in leadership roles during the pandemic, providing in-depth insights into their experiences. Thematic analysis identified key values developed by these leaders which were essential for dealing with the challenges of student leadership in virtual as well as in hybrid learning environments.

The findings emphasize the need to enhance student leadership programs by incorporating mental health support, communication training, ethical decision-making, and fostering open dialogue between student leaders and administration. These insights are crucial for refining educational practices to support the holistic development of student leaders in today’s educational landscape. The study proposes the “3Ps” model—Person, Process, and Principles—as a framework for understanding leadership development in LSHEIs, highlighting personal growth, effective communication and trust-building, and responsibility and ethical leadership.

Affiliate Stigma among Parents of Multiple Children Within Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Tipan Crisha , Clete Mary Jane , Felipe Maria Clarissa , Mataverde Pearl Anne , Dominguez Jemerson
Published: February 2025

Affiliate stigma is a social stigma or negative judgement characterized by being associated with the stigmatized individual. The research objectives sought to examine (1) the scenarios that affiliate stigma has for parents and how parents reacted towards it, and (2) to investigate the lens of the disorder and how the parents perceived and desired for better understanding. The participants were eight parents who have multiple children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) located in Luzon, Philippines. Convenient and snowball sampling were utilized to recruit participants, and a semi-structured, in-depth interview was used to gather the data. The narratives that the researchers collected show six (6) themes: sources of affiliate stigma, setting the scenes associated with affiliate stigma, events interrelates with affiliate stigma, parents’ desire of understanding, inclusivity, internalization, and prejudice directed towards themselves as the primary caregivers. The findings indicate that affiliate stigma comes from family, friends, or strangers and usually happens at home, school, or social occasions. As a result, parents experience harmful consequences, which lead to affiliate stigma and the difficulty of coping with negative judgements because of the negativity and unfairness of society due to the challenges of raising children with ASD.
Determining the Degree of Constructive Alignment for Learning Outcomes of Two Modules in a Course on Management
Authors: Lefera Maraka , Swart Arthur James
Published: February 2025

Constructive alignment entails creating educational activities and learning outcomes in a way that they align with the intended course goals, teaching strategies and assessment methods. Several studies have shown that constructive alignment is important to the teaching and learning process and should not be perceived as a simple tick-box exercise. The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of constructive alignment between the learning outcomes of two modules in a course for human resource management to identify if they are repetitive or progressive in nature. This can help to determine if the educational experience of students is coherent. Study guides of two modules were analysed where quantitative data is gathered. Seven of the outcomes in the two modules were found to be progressive. For example, in the first-level module a learning outcome stated: “Explore various assessment methods and instruments”. In the second-level module, this outcome was extended in the following manner “Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of various assessments methods and instruments.” Two outcomes were found to be repetitive. For example, in the first-level module, a learning outcome stated: “Describe the various types of assessment and evaluations”. It is recommended that constructive alignment should not be a once-off activity for an academic department at the start of a new programme or course. It is important to review the curriculum at regular intervals to determine its relevance to the current society, which would also necessitate a review of the alignment of any new outcomes that are incorporated.

Introduction: The study aims to evaluate the use of high-fidelity clinical simulation in teaching mechanical ventilation to students in the master’s program in Nursing with a specialization in Critical Care. The simulation seeks to replicate complex clinical scenarios to improve students' competencies in a controlled and safe environment. Methodology: Simulations based on the HAMILTON-C6 ventilator were used, with students facing mechanical ventilation situations. The High-Fidelity Clinical Simulation Satisfaction Scale (ESSAF) was the instrument employed to measure students' perceptions of the effectiveness of this methodology. Simulation sessions were followed by debriefing to promote critical reflection and practical learning. Results: Students reported high satisfaction with the simulation, highlighting its usefulness in improving clinical assessment and decision-making in critical situations, with an average score of 3.57 for its utility in assessing clinical situations. Additionally, the simulation facilitated self-reflection on performance and the development of technical skills. However, the time allocated to the simulations received a lower rating (average score of 3.13), suggesting the need to extend the sessions for more complete learning. Discussion: The standard deviation showed consistency in the responses regarding the utility of the simulation and its ability to integrate theory and practice. However, there was more variability in perceptions of the difficulty of the cases and simulation time, indicating areas for improvement. Conclusion: Clinical simulation is a valuable tool for teaching mechanical ventilation in critical care, but it is recommended to increase the complexity of the scenarios and adjust the duration of the simulations to optimize learning.

ARBITRATION LAW AND PRACTICE IN ALBANIA: FEATURES, CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Gjuzi Jola
Published: February 2025

Arbitration, as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, has gained significant traction worldwide. This is primarily due to its consensual nature, the involvement of non-governmental adjudicators, as well as its efficiency, flexibility and confidentiality. In Albania, international arbitration remains a promising avenue for resolving commercial and investor-state disputes, especially considering the country’s efforts towards a consolidated market and deeper integration into the regional and global economy. However, the arbitration landscape, particularly the domestic one, is not without challenges as Albania pursues to attain an effective rule of law. This paper provides an overview of the rules of arbitration under the Albanian domestic law, as well as the applicable international law. It then explores the current state of arbitration practice in Albania, the various perceptions among the pertinent political, business and legal communities, the challenges this practice encounters, and perspectives for its progress.
CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF ARBITRATION IN SOUTH EAST AND CENTRAL EUROPE – SERBIA
Authors: Vukadinović Marković Jelena R.
Published: February 2025

With the adoption of the Law on Arbitration in 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the LA), Serbia has joined the ranks of the countries that have provided for the issue of arbitration in a modern and comprehensive manner. However, over the course of almost two decades of application of this Law, certain ambiguities and lack of clarity have come to surface. This paper aims to addresses only a number of those, focusing on the arbitration agreement, arbitrability, and the appointment of the arbitral tribunal. The author starts from the assumption that fundamental solutions and dilemmas of arbitral decision-making are centred around the issue of arbitrability, and therefore attaches central importance in this paper to the said issue. The author acknowledges the flexibility of the solutions adopted in the Law, nevertheless advocating for an even broader interpretation and extension of the concept of arbitrability to include the so-called grey area disputes.
THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL OF ARBITRATION IN HUNGARY
Authors: Dózsa Dániel , Fehér Lili Hanna , Muraközy Balázs
Published: February 2025

Arbitration in Hungary, despite its modern legal framework and strategic location in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), remains underutilised compared to neighbouring countries such as Austria. This paper explores the reasons behind this trend, examining Hungary’s arbitration landscape, strengths, and challenges. Key factors include legislative interferences, deviations from the UNCITRAL Model Law, and cost concerns. The authors argue that Hungary has a significant untapped potential in arbitration, which could be realised by addressing these challenges and leveraging its rich arbitration culture and favourable legal framework to attract more domestic and international arbitration cases.
INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT ARBITRATION – AN OUTLOOK FROM CROATIA
Authors: Poretti Paula , Župan Mirela
Published: February 2025

Since Croatia’s establishment as a sovereign country in the early 1990s, foreign investments have been identified as a strategic priority of its economic policy. Croatia seeks to provide a stable legal environment for foreign investors through its domestic rules, EU law or bilateral investment treaties. Providing legal protection in international investment disputes is a challenging task, and requires careful balancing between protecting private investor interests and the public interest in the State of investment. Entrusting this task to ad hoc arbitration tribunals, which adjudicate based on a specific body of investment law, and its open concepts, has been under increasing criticism, leading to a conclusion that the characteristics that distinguish arbitration from court proceedings are, at the same time, its greatest shortcomings. On the trail of this reflection, and following the Achmea case, there is increasing advocacy for establishing a special EU court for international investment disputes. This paper focuses, however, on the investment dispute resolution before ICSID involving Croatia either as the respondent or the home state in the last half decade.

ARBITRATION IN ROMANIA: LOOKING GOOD, HOPING FOR MORE
Authors: Alexe Cristina , Șoimulescu Oana
Published: February 2025

This paper provides a current overview of the arbitration legal framework in Romania, analysing the historic development of an arbitration friendly jurisdiction. The paper goes on to describe the implementation of the expected international arbitration pillars, and illustrate some novel and progressive legal provisions on arbitration relating, inter alia, to, applicable law, parallel proceedings and arbitrators’ liability. It provides a critical commentary on certain persistent ‘arbitration unfriendly’ terms in the Romanian national arbitration law and take on two very recent legislative developments involving investment arbitration and regulation of institutional arbitration. It also pinpoints the need for construction disputes to be settled by appropriate fora such as specialist construction courts or in arbitration, and the need for the current expert practice with respect to the evaluation of time extensions and additional payment (which are, at present, reflecting the common law approach) to be adapted to the civil liability principles enshrined in the Romanian Civil Code.
INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION LAW AND PRACTICE IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: LESSONS FROM INVESTOR-STATE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT (ISDS) REFORM
Authors: Brodlija Fahira
Published: February 2025

International arbitration, both commercial and investment, is generating increasing interest and practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), as well as more generally in the Western Balkans region. The past decade has seen an increased number of international business transactions and investments, but also related disputes involving parties or claims connected to BiH. However, the desired progress and growth of commercial arbitration are hampered by the outdated legislative and institutional framework, and the lingering lack of capacity of the local courts, which are expected to act as domestic legal anchors of arbitration agreements and awards. The sluggish development of the commercial arbitration framework lies in stark contrast to the dynamics in investment arbitration, which is undergoing intensive reforms in BiH and in the world. In this space, BiH has been at the forefront of innovative legal and institutional reforms, revitalizing its investment protection standards and creating mechanisms for their effective application. This paper explores the distinct features of the two legal systems in BiH, looking into the underlying issues faced, their common denominators, and the investment arbitration reform success factors that can be emulated to enhance the commercial arbitration framework. As such, it aims to reverse engineer the adopted reforms and lessons learnt from the investment arbitration sphere that could help unlock the potential of commercial arbitration in BiH. The article will unfold as follows: it will first provide a primer on the existing legal and institutional framework for commercial arbitration in BiH, highlighting their special features, distinct from the prevailing international standards. Then the analysis turns to investment arbitration, outlining the motivations, policy background, and concrete reform measures implemented in this field. Finally, the paper arrives at the potential intersections between the two fields and provides recommendations for their mutual reinforcement.

Holy Writ As Oral Lit
Authors: Dundes Alan
Published: February 2025

This book helps us resolve some of the mysteries and contradictions that evolved during the Bible's pre-written legacy and that persist in the Great Book today. Most biblical scholars acknowledge that both the Old and New Testaments were orally transmitted for decades before appearing in written form. With great reverence for the Bible, Dundes offers a new and exciting way to understand its variant texts. He uses the analytical framework of folklore to unearth and contrast the multiple versions of nearly every major biblical event, including the creation of woman, the flood, the ten commandments (there were once as many as eleven or twelve), the names of the twelve tribes, the naming of the disciples, the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord's Prayer, and the words inscribed on the Cross, among many others.

Nietzsche's Mirror
Authors: Williams Linda L.
Published: February 2025

Nietzsche's Mirror introduces the reader to one of the most central and pervasive themes in Friedrich Nietzsche's works—will to power. The book traces Nietzsche's use of the terms 'power,' 'will,' and 'will to power' as they are presented in both the works he authorized for publication and his literary remains, called the Nachlass. The author demonstrates that will to power as it is presented in the Nachlass differs from the way it is presented in the works Nietzsche authorized for publication before his collapse in 1889. Then it is argued that the problems that the Nachlass poses for scholars suggests that the Nachlass material should not be held in the same regard as the works Nietzsche authorized for publication. Because of the discrepancy between the published and unpublished writings, will to power should not be interpreted as a metaphysical principle operating behind the world, since the metaphysical-sounding passages are located in the Nachlass, but rather as a tool for interpreting relations, especially human relations, within the world. The final chapter examines Nietzsche's unique style of writing, which the author calls 'mirror writing.' Mirror writing is a technique Nietzsche deliberately employs in order to have such visionary themes as will to power, master morality, and eternal recurrence reflect the reader's values back to himself. Since this book is meant to be an introduction to will to power, at the end of each chapter is a list of additional books, so that the reader can delve further into the themes presented in the chapter, such as Nietzsche's biography, ethics, writings on truth, and eternal recurrence.
Toward a Phenomenology of Sexual Difference
Authors: Heinämaa Sara
Published: February 2025

Simone de Beauvoir's Le Deuxi_me Sexe has been studied extensively since its appearance in 1949. Through the years, certain passages have taken on prestige; others are seen as unimportant to understanding Beauvoir's argument. In Toward a Phenomenology of Sexual Difference, Sara HeinSmaa rediscovers those neglected passages in her quest to follow Beauvoir's line of thinking. HeinSmaa, like some other recent philosophers, finds that Le Duexi_me Sexe is a philosophical inquiry, not the empirical study it is commonly thought to be. Others who view Beauvoir's masterpiece as a work of philosophy argue it is a criticism not only of Sartrean phenomenology, but of phenomenology as a whole. HeinSmaa thinks differently. She finds that Beauvoir's starting point is the Husserlian idea of the living body that she found developed in Merleau-Ponty's PhZnomZnologie de la perception. So when Beavoir wrote Le Duexi_me Sexe, she was writing not as Sartre's pupil, but as a scholar in the tradition of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty.
Democracy
Authors: Nun José
Published: February 2025

One hundred and fifty years ago, Abraham Lincoln stressed the pressing need for a new definition of 'freedom.' Today, with 85 of some 190 countries claiming to be representative democracies, JosZ Nun makes an equally compelling case for 'democracy.' In emerging democracies throughout much of the developing world, the need is especially urgent, as nascent debates about democracy are modified by such descriptions as delegative, transitional, incomplete, low-intensity, relative, uncertain, or even authoritarian. In accessible and engaging style, Nun provides a comprehensive analysis of the theory and practice of democracy from ancient Greece to contemporary Latin America. The author's authoritative historical and comparative discussion of democracy is combined with his own evaluation of the conditions and possibilities for the development of genuinely democratic societies in our time, in Latin America and throughout the world. The author identifies the preconditions of a democratic regime, the links between citizenship construction and social rights, the centrality of work for the promotion of equality and freedom, and the current democratic deficits both in core and peripheral countries. All readers will benefit from Nun's insightful distinction between two visions of democracy—government of the people or government of the politicians—and its profound consequences.
Social Theory for Old and New Modernities
Authors:   Ferrarotti
Published: February 2025

Franco Ferrarotti is widely regarded as the founder of postwar Italian sociology. Along with such figures as Leo Strauss, Edward Shils, David Riesman, Robert Merton, and Ralf Dahrendorf, he established the terms and texts of contemporary sociology after the Second World War.Social Theory for Old and New Modernities is a collection of Ferrarotti's essays that brings his work back into the forefront of sociology. His writings, on theory and ethnographic research, on immigration and multiculturalism, on religion and secularization, speak directly to today's social and political dilemmas and crises and offer sociologists a critical and enlivened vision of their discipline.

Maria Macioti's Introduction locates Franco Ferrarotti's work within his remarkable life, that of a politician, intellectual, and social scientist living amidst the social and political changes of the last half of the twentieth century, anticipating the changes and challenges of the twenty-first.

E. Doyle McCarthy is the editor of this collection.
Mabel Agnes Elliott
Authors: McGonigal Kathryn , Galliher John
Published: February 2025

Mabel Agnes Elliott: Pioneering Feminist, Pacifist Sociologist provides a history of the life and career of the late Mabel Agnes Elliott (1898-1990), a pioneering female sociologist largely forgotten despite her achievements and contributions. A native of Iowa, Elliott earned three degrees in Sociology from Northwestern University. In addition to her career as a sociologist, she was a feminist and a pacifist whose occasional criticism of criminal policies in the United States led to the creation of an FBI file. Despite being largely disregarded by her male colleagues, Elliott wrote a wildly successful textbook, Social Disorganization, that published four editions over thirty years. After starting her career at the University of Kansas and working there for twenty years, she moved to Chatham College in Pennsylvania in 1949 where she was appreciated for her singular abilities. Among her many achievements, she was the first nwoman to be elected Presidet of the Society for the Study of Social Problems in 1957.
Global Perspectives on Prostitution and Sex Trafficking
Authors:   Dalla,   Defrain,   Baker
Published: February 2025

This book is part of a two-volume set that examines prostitution and sex trafficking on a global scale, with each chapter devoted to a particular country in one of seven geo-cultural areas of the world. The 16 chapters in this volume (Volume II) are devoted to examination of the commercial sex industry (CSI) in countries within Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Oceania, while the 18 chapters comprising Volume I focus exclusively on Europe, Latin America, and North America. This volume also includes a "global" section, which includes chapters that are globally relevant — rather than those devoted to a particular country or geographic location. The content of each Volume, as well as each chapter, reflects great diversity — diversity in focus, writing style, and personal position regarding the commercial sex industry. Diversity extends to the contributors, who are comprised of international scholars, service providers, and policy advocates representing a variety of fields and disciplines, with distinct and varied frames of reference and theoretical underpinnings with regard to the commercial sex industry.

In addition to addressing aspects of the CSI across the globe, as impacted by geography and culture, authors have also provided a spectrum of implications of their work — implications ranging from continued scholarship and research, to legislative maneuvers and policy change, to suggestions for collaboration across NGOS, fieldworkers, clinicians, and service providers. Together, the 34 expertly-crafted chapters provide a wealth of knowledge from which to more deeply appreciate and contemplate the global commercial sex industry. By uniting contributors from around the world, this book aims to build a relatively common knowledge base on global prostitution and sex trafficking. Viewed from a unified, global perspective, it is hoped that this common understanding will lead to a grounded theory and integrated view with applicable suggestions for international efforts aimed at intervention.

Authors: Mule Lucy W.
Published: February 2025

Teacher Education, Diversity, and Community Engagement in Liberal Arts Colleges examines the promise of and issues related to preparing teachers for cultural diversity through community engagement in the liberal arts colleges. This book emphasizes the transformational power of community engagement to both teacher education and the small liberal arts college.

Mule underscores the community-engaged approach to teacher education, emphasizing deep relationships with culturally diverse communities, community-based pedagogy, and a consideration of institutional contexts. Building on recent conversations in the areas of teacher education, diversity, and community engagement in liberal arts colleges, she cogently examines a range of issues, from how teacher education's vision, curriculum, and pedagogy can be modified to be more consistent with the goal of educating for cultural diversity through community engagement to some of the program, institutional, and external challenges to community engagement in teacher education. The field of teacher education and small liberal arts colleges will find in Teacher Education, Diversity, and Community Engagement in Liberal Arts Colleges an excellent reason to enact purposeful change and transformation.
Stepping Stones
Authors: Lynd Staughton , Lynd Alice
Published: February 2025

Stepping Stones is a joint memoir by two longtime participants in movements for social change in the United States. Staughton and Alice Lynd have worked for racial equality, against war, with workers and prisoners, and against the death penalty. Coming from similar ethical backgrounds but with very different personalities, the Lynds spent three years in an intentional community in Northeast Georgia during the 1950s. There they experienced a way of living that they later sought to carry into the larger society. Both were educated to be teachers—Staughton as a professor of history and Alice as a teacher of preschool children. But both sought to address the social problems of their times through more than their professions.

After being involved in the Southern civil rights movement and the movement against the war in Vietnam in the 1960s, both Staughton and Alice became lawyers. In the Youngstown, Ohio, area they helped workers to create a variety of rank-and-file organizations. After retirement, they became advocates for prisoners who were sentenced to death or confined under supermaximum security conditions. Through trips to Central America in the 1980s, Staughton and Alice became familiar with the concept of “accompaniment.” To them, accompaniment means placing themselves at the side of the poor and oppressed, not as dispensers of charity or as guilty fugitives from the middle class, but as equals in a joint process to which each person brings an essential kind of expertise. Throughout, the Lynds, who became Quakers in the early 1960s, have been committed to nonviolence. Their story will encourage young people seeking lives of public service in the cause of creating a better world.
Mexico's Unrule of Law
Authors: Uildriks Niels
Published: February 2025

Mexico's crisis of security is unrelenting. Why is it so hard to establish the rule of law, and why does the country's justice system continue to struggle to deliver both security and adherence to democratic values and human rights? To answer these questions, Mexico Unrule of Law: Implementing Human Rights in Police and Judicial Reform under Democratization looks at recent Mexican criminal justice reforms, placing this Mexico City case study of the social and institutional realities of the evolving police and justice system within the county's long-term transition from authoritarian to democratic governance. In spite of the democratization on the electoral front, profound distrust has continued to characterize not only the relationship between citizens and state institutions but also social, inter-state, and intra-state relations. Against this background, the book analyses extensive and penetrating police surveys and interviews to offer innovative ideas on how to simultaneously achieve greater community security, democratic policing, and adherence to human rights.
