Autonomy and Adapting to Change
Authors: Nine Cara 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter investigates how displacement threatens an individual’s capacity for autonomous agency. It starts by criticizing a central theory in liberal political philosophy that links one’s capacity for autonomy with place: liberal nationalism. However, while liberal nationalism holds that individual autonomy is hindered when one is removed from their cultural homeland, the view fails to identify psychological or cognitive mechanisms that could explain this phenomenon. The chapter then argues that one key cognitive mechanism involved in autonomous agency is the capacity to cope with change. Displacement involves major life-changes and therefore has the potential to overwhelm our capacity to cope. Consequently, it can leave victims of displacement with the symptoms of undermined autonomous agency. An important implication of this argument is that efforts to address the wrongs of internal displacement must, among other things, target the protection and support of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural skills for coping with change.
Healing Trauma, Seeing Victims, and Making Homes
Authors: Wolf Allison B. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the case of Colombia’s internally displaced population in order to ground the author’s reflections on what justice towards internally displaced persons (IDPs) may entail. The chapter argues that, beyond legal remedies, justice towards IDPs should involve acknowledging and addressing the trauma of their dislocation, where that also involves the state acknowledging the history of displacement in Colombia and its own failures and complicities within this history. Drawing on a range of ethical theories, it highlights the importance of thinking through what rebuilding home involves for the displaced and how central acknowledgement of the harms and wrongs they have suffered—and continue to suffer—is to this process.
The Place Left Behind
Authors: Espejo Paulina Ochoa 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
What is the main harm of forced internal displacement? Some theorists argue that it is the setting back of the displaced person’s interest in their own autonomy. But could the main harm be collective, rather than individual? This chapter uses the case of IDPs and people left behind in the town of Aguililla, Michoacán, Mexico to argue for two claims. The first is that displacement’s chief harm is the collective loss of a network of place-specific obligations that are essential for complex forms of social coordination in a given place. Nor is it only those who leave who suffer this harm: those who remain in spaces abandoned by mass displacement also lose a common world. Second, those left behind may suffer this harm even more than those who go to other places. For mass displacement often leads to the collapse of local material infrastructure, because there are not enough people to sustain it.
Youth Dialogues on Race and Ethnicity
Authors: Checkoway Barry 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This book examines youth dialogues on race and ethnicity in metropolitan areas that are becoming more segregated and more diverse. It includes content on segregation and diversity, youth dialogues as a process, and the anchor institutions without which this work would be limited. The book draws upon the work of young people and adult allies—of African, Asian, White European, Middle Eastern. and Latin , descent—in metropolitan Detroit, but is written for wider audiences concerned about engaging young people in dialogues across the segregated boundaries that separate them.
Segregation and Diversity
Authors: Checkoway Barry 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the causes and consequences of segregation and diversity in metropolitan Detroit. The city is at least 80 percent African-American, while the suburbs are at least 85 percent White. For years, the city has been losing employment opportunities, residential development has been largely suburban, disparities have been widening between the city and its suburbs, and inequalities have been increasing in both. Although it is common to explain segregation in terms of “white flight to suburbs and black neighborhoods left behind,” its causes are more complex. “Detroit divided” has been fueled by investment decisions by big builders and mortgage lenders, private institutions and government programs, federal housing and transportation agencies, and social science and mass media, while race and racism have long confounded the urban-suburban situation.
Youth Dialogues on Race and Ethnicity
Authors: Checkoway Barry 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines Youth Dialogues on Race and Ethnicity in Metropolitan Detroit, a program that involves young people—of African, Asian, White European, Middle Eastern, and Latin American descent—in small-group dialogues, metropolitan tours, residential retreats, community action projects, and public policy leadership. Young people communicate and collaborate in projects, which transcend the segregated boundaries that separate them. Young people are learning about their own social identities and those of others who are different from themselves, about how racism and racial privilege affects them and their society, and about ways for them to take collective action in their schools and communities.
Young People as Community Leaders
Authors: Checkoway Barry 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter features young people who step forward as leaders to plan projects and create change. These leaders participate in the dialogues, form a leadership group, and formulate community-based and statewide strategies for addressing school segregation and diversity learning. Their projects enable them to facilitate community conversations, formulate school curricula, organize civil rights marches and protest demonstrations, and present their ideas to policy makers at local, state, and national levels. Overall, they take collective action in addressing institutional issues that affect their lives. This chapter examines who they are, the issues that concern them, their stages of develop, and the factors that affect their work.
Building Institutional Capacity
Authors: Checkoway Barry 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the anchor institutions that strengthen and sustain the program over the long haul, namely public schools, community agencies, and the University of Michigan. These anchor institutions play powerful roles in their communities; they invest in their communities, and they depend on residents who depend upon them. They are rooted and remain in their local geographical areas even as conditions change around them. They are employers that help “anchor” the local economy. They provide essential services which they sustain over the long haul, not as one-time events. In the program, they are among the community partners that build capacity in the metropolitan area of which they are part.
Making a World That Does Not Exist
Authors: Checkoway Barry 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter concludes the book with the guiding question with which it begins, and includes observations about some of its major themes, such as democratic participation, metropolitan areas as units of solution, public schools, youth empowerment, and the prospects for conversations on race American society. Although general conclusions are difficult to draw from exceptional programs, it is their very exceptionalism that makes them so significant, especially in highly segregated areas which are usually known for their problems rather than their strengthens. When young people can communicate and collaborate across the segregated boundaries which separate them, they demonstrate something exceptional, and contribute to “making a world that does not exist.”
The Intellectual
Authors: Hayes Kelly E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The person most responsible for the Valley’s theology and, arguably, its success as a religious movement was Mário Sassi, nicknamed the “Intellectual.” Sassi’s first meeting with Aunt Neiva convinced him that she was a “superbeing” whose “fundamental mission is to prepare us for the future.” Sassi subsequently left his family and career to “bear witness to the Spirit of the Truth” by synthesizing Aunt Neiva’s visionary experiences and forging a comprehensive doctrinal system from the revelations that she claimed to receive from highly evolved entities. To do so, he drew on his own deep knowledge of Spiritist and esoteric literature. Working together as prophetic visionary and interpreter/theologian, the two institutionalized the Valley’s distinctive beliefs and practices and established a gendered model of spiritual labor that continues to structure the ritual work of the community today.
The Journey of the Jaguars
Authors: Hayes Kelly E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
To make sense out of Aunt Neiva’s visions and forge an explanatory framework capable of integrating the various pieces into a unified conceptual system, Sassi drew freely from his studies of esoteric and popular spiritual literature. At the center of the doctrine he created was a sweeping epic of progress, decline, and redemption centered on Valley members’ spiritual ancestors, the Jaguars. This chapter examines the mythological story of the Jaguars from their extraterrestrial origins to the present day as documented in Sassi’s writings. It examines the appeal of the story for adherents and considers how the narrative functions more broadly within the Valley’s imagined world.
The Work of Healing
Authors: Hayes Kelly E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter describes the Valley’s healing rituals, which are the primary way that the community interacts with the public and gains new members. Patients bring a wide range of ailments to the Valley, from physical and psychological problems to more diffuse experiences of suffering. What unites the diverse conditions patients bring to the Valley for healing is that they are experienced as “unwanted conditions of the self.” After analyzing specific examples, this chapter concludes that the Valley’s work of healing is best understood as a transformation in the meaning of suffering—not necessarily as the elimination of suffering. Healing is successful when the patient’s unwanted condition is redressed or re-signified in such a way that it no longer threatens the self.
Transcendental Heritages
Authors: Hayes Kelly E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Valley doctrine teaches that present-day Jaguars have inherited a “transcendental heritage”: a karmic legacy of deeds and misdeeds derived from their many incarnations in different historical times and places. This shared past is understood to explain the personality dynamics or “transcendental ties” among individual community members, but it also has karmic consequences for the Jaguars as a collective that must be redressed in ritual. This chapter considers how the Jaguars’ transcendental heritage is continually referenced in the built environment, vestments, rituals, songs, images, and other material artifacts, reinforcing a felt sense of connection to the group and helping shape members’ self-understanding and moral conscience.
“The Problem of the Mixed Blood Child”
Authors: Doolan Yuri W. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
By the mid-1950s, thousands of American missionaries and voluntary aid workers were in South Korea responding to the humanitarian crisis following the Korean War. Among the many children orphaned by the war, mixed race children left behind by their GI fathers posed a unique problem for the image of the US intervention. Believing they should be relocated to adoptive homes in the United States, humanitarians exaggerated the conditions in camptowns, cast Korean mothers as unloving prostitutes, and depicted mixed race children as “young ambassadors” cementing “good will between the countries of their birth and their new American families.” These arguments helped to permanently codify international adoption into US immigration law and create a system where mixed race children could be expediently and justifiably passed on from birth mother to adoptive family—a move that caused actual harm to many Korean women and children.
Becoming American
Authors: Doolan Yuri W. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter follows the lives of the first generation of mixed race Koreans who were placed into US families in the 1950s and 1960s. As adoptive parents set out to create the American children US humanitarians promised them to be, assimilation—viewed by domestic social work and child welfare professionals as evidence of a proper adjustment—was endorsed as official policy. The figure of the happy and well-adjusted adoptee helped to further a narrative of the United States as an anti-racist nation and bolster the US military’s interventions abroad. Despite this, mixed race children’s entry into American families was fraught. They struggled deeply with their adjustment and with the loss of their Korean mothers; racism and segregation remained a very real and salient part of their lives; and intimate knowledge about their camptown origins persisted.
The Emergence of the Los Angeles Beach Lobby
Authors: Devienne Elsa 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3 chronicles the emergence of the beach protection movement and the rise of coastal engineering in reaction to the perception of a beach crisis. Erosion, rampant beach privatization, oil drilling, and sewage pollution were the principal causes for concern. During the 1930s, self-proclaimed beach experts produced reports and studies lamenting the sad state of the shores and planning the ideal urban beach. Inspired by Robert Moses’s Jones Beach in Long Island, they envisioned large, pristine beaches equipped with modern amenities. Yet in contrast to East Coast beach experts, who timidly approached the issue of coastal access, the LA beach lobby championed the eventual acquisition of the entire California shoreline for the public. Moreover, this lobby advocated for a development program devised at the state level in order to take into account the inner workings of the coastal ecosystem. The beach lobby’s plans reflected a modern vision of the coastline, where wide-open spaces and parking lots would replace the dark corners of the old-fashioned amusement zones.
Work
Authors: Rubio Julie Hanlon 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The Catholic feminist divide is often construed as a debate about where women belong: work or home. But though second-wave feminists focused on breaking glass ceilings, they also fought for women’s right to rear their own children. Catholics, too, have a complex history responding to work and family. Chapter 3 problematizes the iconic images of a feminist career woman with a baby and a briefcase on one hand and a home-schooling Catholic mom of many on the other, finding more overlap than tension between today’s Catholics and feminists and their approaches to work and family. Looking closely at the lives of knowledge and gig workers in today’s economy, and the antiwork movement, the chapter suggests that Catholic and feminist sensibilities about work-life balance provides a viable and necessary alternative vision.
Power
Authors: Rubio Julie Hanlon 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapter 7 grapples with the difficult issue of power. Women’s lack of access to ordained ministry often lies at the center of discussions about feminism and Catholicism. It is a source of pain for many. The previous two chapters employed listening to stories and identifying common claims as strategies to deal with difficult issues. This chapter leans in to the question of ordination and then pulls back to ask about the broader landscape of power in the church. This chapter brings together analysis of a question that is among the most troubling for Catholic feminists, a deeper probing of the Catholic Church’s power problem, and an account of its power assets and potential. The chapter claims that authenticity for Catholic feminists means seeing power as problem and possibility, rather than giving into complacency or despair.
Belonging
Authors: Rubio Julie Hanlon 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapter 9 approaches the dilemma of being a Catholic feminist as a question of identity and belonging. Catholic feminists, like Black Catholics and queer Catholics, have to wrestle with the dilemma of being a part of an imperfect church even as its richness compels them to stay. Catholic thinking on conscience is offered as helpful framework for feminists who experience the tension of dual identity and seek an authentic way to belong to a holy, yet broken, church. Conscious belonging is contrasted with a “pure” belonging with no room for imperfection or questioning.
On the “Ideological Origins” of the Revolutions of Independence
Authors: Palti Elías J. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The anecdote is probably fake; nevertheless, it illustrates the thinkers’ normative pretension regarding reality, their anxiety, behind their interest of comprehending historical reality, to dictate how it should have been. In his criticism of God’s realization, Alphonse would be probably thinking of the “epicycles”; that is, the series of weird movements that, according to the Ptolemaic astronomy on which he based, planets have to do to match the observational data regarding their trajectory in their revolution around the Earth (which in that astronomical system was supposed to be in the center of the universe). In the astronomer-king’s mind, there was no room to suspect that perhaps what was wrong was not the design of the universe, or that incongruence was not in it but in his own theory, which was inadequate to the kind of phenomena he intended to observe. And, again, the same can be said of the historians of ideas, including the revisionists. They could not consider the possibility that the kind of pathologies they observed in Latin American history were not really in it, but were in their own approaches to it, which were inadequate to the kind of phenomena they intended to analyze. More precisely, in the conceptual tools with which they constructed their objects, the binary grid (tradition–modernity, or, eventually, a correlate of it) according to which they intended to render these objects meaningful and within which they were thus forced to make them fit, no matter how forcefully they had to push to get them there. This suspicion will lead us, again, to shift our sight from the sky they contemplated to the ground on which their views stood, to reconstruct the kind of intellectual operations behind the ways they created their objects and made sense of them. And, eventually, to explore alternative perspectives that depart from these teleological frameworks. Chapter 5 is an analysis of the historiographical debates around a crucial event in Latin American history: the revolutions of independence, and, more specifically, the topic of their “ideological foundations.” In the analysis of the early work of Tulio Halperin Donghi provides an alternative model for an approach to the period from the decline of the Spanish imperial system and independence that departs from the topic of “influences” and focus on the ways in which ideas become re-articulated in the function of the changing contexts. As the chapter shows, Halperin Donghi’s perspective is much more sensitive to the crucial challenge that the comprehension of complex ideological processes, like that here at stake, poses; more particularly, the paradox that the issue of the “ideological origins” of independence raises: how the very intellectual formations that originally served as an ideological sustentation of the absolutist régime and the imperial system successively twisted finally to serve as the intellectual foundation for a revolutionary discourse.
Roles of Different Professionals Within a Multitiered System of Supports Framework
Authors: Kelly Michael S. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
School-based prevention and intervention research has influenced models to guide academic and behavior support services in schools. The multitiered system of supports (MTSS) framework and its related response to intervention (RTI) and positive behavior supports (PBS) models are particularly relevant to understanding the changing landscape in delivering academic and behavioral support to students, teachers, and families in American schools today. The expansion of MTSS across American schools has also created opportunities for school social workers and other related service professionals to become social-emotional learning (SEL) leaders in their buildings, and to begin to use the tools of MTSS to create more equitable and trauma-informed school communities. This chapter details some of what the authors know about MTSS, what different educator roles look like within MTSS, and how effective teamwork between MTSS team members is essential to build MTSS frameworks that work to make schools more trauma informed and equitable for all students.
Social-Emotional Learning
Authors: Thompson Aaron M. , Kim Anna M. , Weigand Tanya 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Many schoolchildren experience social, emotional, and behavioral health challenges in the United States. These challenges affect their academic success, peer and teacher relationships, and overall normal daily life. Suicide rates among teens and youth are also rising, and increased by 57% between 2007 and 2017. The increasing suicide rates have been highly related to increased anxiety and depression among youth. However, 80% of youth in need of mental health supports will never get access to those services. The purpose of this chapter is to examine social-emotional learning and what school support personnel can do to provide youth with the knowledge and skills to be successful in their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. Evidence-supported universal and targeted social-emotional learning programs at the elementary and secondary levels will be discussed to offer guidance when implementing social-emotional learning programs in school settings. Next, evidence-supported universal and targeted social-emotional Learning programs at the elementary and secondary levels will briefly be described. And lastly, some guidance for student service personnel to consider when implementing social-emotional learning programs in school settings will be offered.
Promoting Mental Health and Well-Being
Authors: Hu Maria , Hydon Stephen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Wellness is a term that usually evokes a medical connotation, but in reality, wellness is a holistic approach to a satisfying way of life. It is always important to care for oneself, especially now, given that people continue to live in times of uncertainty. It is now seen that individuals with some serious mental health conditions are dying at earlier ages than the general population. This chapter focuses on a wellness approach that is multifaceted, which consists of an eight-dimension intervention. Specifically, this particular wellness approach helps close the health gap and improve people’s overall quality of life. This intervention was developed by the researcher Margaret Swarbrick in 2006. The wellness approach integrates our minds, bodies, and spirits as it supports engaging in behaviors that feel rejuvenated and replenish that intrinsic motivation to grow holistically as a person.
