ISBN 0-89-292-284-2 In Fond Remembrance Margery Hemsing Rankin (1951-1997) Margery and I were colleagues at Education Development Center, Inc., during which time we worked together on numerous projects and trainings. Margery had a passion to make education a vehicle for eradicating social injustice and violence in the Americas. Through this project her passion, in some measure, was realized. As a Cuban immigrant, Margery knew firsthand the twin realities of prejudice and discrimination. She never became embittered by such experiences—only more resolved to eliminate the poisonous violence often wrought by prejudice. To address the epidemic of hate crimes in our country, Margery took the initiative to facilitate a pilot test of this curriculum in the middle schools in her own community in Miami, Florida. After the pilot test of this curriculum, Margery was instrumental in creating a multi-disciplinary training for professionals on hate crime prevention across the nation. Through the process of working together, we saw our collective vision for this project become a reality in our goal to have a positive impact on the minds and hearts of young people. Margery died suddenly and unexpectedly on February 20, 1997, just as this curriculum was going to print. She was an endearing, gracious, and loving colleague and friend. Most of all, she was determined to make a difference. She has. Dear friend, may the love and peace you brought to so many others embrace you now. Querida Amiga, que el amor y la paz que les trajiste a los demás te abrace ahora. Karen A. McLaughlin ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Education Development Center, Inc.

  • Crime Prevention Guide
    CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE MURDER & ASSAULT Most murder and assault victims know their attackers. Many times, the people involved in the incident are drunk or on drugs. Murder or assault can also be the result of another crime such as burglary or robbery. The victim is killed when he or she resists. Other murders or assaults happen because of some seemingly trivial confrontation that turns violent because of anger, irrational thinking, alcohol or drugs. • If you think you are in danger, go to a safe place, then call police. • Do not touch anything. • While waiting for police, you should write down the license plate numbers of any vehicles leaving the crime scene. • Make a note of any suspicious people you see in the area. • When police arrive, they will search for evidence and ask you to provide any information you may have. • If you have additional information after the officers leave, call the Criminal Investigation Division at (972) 625-1887. Investigating officers will ask victims and witnesses for details of the incident. Correct information is extremely important because it can help in making a speedy arrest and determine what charges should be filed. When the initial investigation is completed, the officer will write a report and send it to the Criminal Investigation Division. The Division will review the case, contact the victim and witnesses, file charges if possible and do everything within reason to arrest the suspect. PREVENTION • Avoid high-crime areas when possible. • If you have to travel in dangerous areas, remain alert to your surroundings. Watch for strangers who may approach you without apparent reason.

  • 1 Kenneth Burke and the Theory of Scapegoating Charles K. Bellinger Words Sometimes Play Important Roles in Human History. I
    Kenneth Burke and the Theory of Scapegoating Charles K. Bellinger Words sometimes play important roles in human history. I think, for example, of Martin Luther’s use of the word grace to shatter Medieval Catholicism, or the use of democracy as a rallying cry for the American colonists in their split with England, or Karl Marx’s vision of the proletariat as a class that would end all classes. More recently, freedom has been used as a mantra by those on the political left and the political right. If a president decides to go war, with the argument that freedom will be spread in the Middle East, then we are reminded once again of the power of words in shaping human actions. This is a notion upon which Kenneth Burke placed great stress as he painted a picture of human beings as word-intoxicated, symbol-using agents whose motives ought to be understood logologically, that is, from the perspective of our use and abuse of words. In the following pages, I will argue that there is a key word that has the potential to make a large impact on human life in the future, the word scapegoat. This word is already in common use, of course, but I suggest that it is something akin to a ticking bomb in that it has untapped potential to change the way human beings think and act. This potential has two main aspects: 1) the ambiguity of the word as it is used in various contexts, and 2) the sense in which the word lies on the boundary between human self-consciousness and unself-consciousness.

  • Williams, Hipness, Hybridity, and Neo-Bohemian Hip-Hop
    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

The plan relates to existing and future discoveries. In accordance with the preparation guidelines, the plan is enabling and flexible, including the possibility of using a variety of natural gas treatment methods, combining a range of mixes for offshore and onshore treatment, in view of the fact that the plan is being promoted as an outline plan to accommodate all future offshore gas discoveries, such that they will be able to supply gas to the transmission system. This policy has been promoted and adopted by the National Board, and is expressed in its decisions. The final decision with regard to the method of developing and treating the gas will be based on the developers' development approach, and in accordance with the decision of the governing institutions by means of the Gas Authority. In the framework of this policy, and in accordance with the decisions of the National Board, the survey relates to a number of sites that differ in character and nature, divided into three parts: 1.

  • God's Good Creation VBS
    GOD’S o s d od worl G the CREATIONGOOD For loved Vacation Bible School Dear Leaders and Friends, Welcome to “God’s Good Creation,” ELCA World Hunger’s vacation Bible school! Helping children learn about hunger, hope and the work to which God calls us in the world is key to ending hunger for good. This program celebrates the gifts that God has created – gifts that can help build a world where all are fed. Working together with all of creation, we can look forward to the future God has promised. The themes for each of the five days of vacation Bible school in this program are drawn from projects supported by gifts to ELCA World Hunger. As you run the program in your congregation, we encourage you to support this work by collecting gifts for ELCA World Hunger. The craft suggestion for the first day – a goat bank – can be a great way to do this! The days are divided into four main sections: a large group opening, “family” time with small groups, rotations of activities and a large group closing. Please feel free to adapt this anyway that you like! In the first pages, you will find a daily overview and a sample schedule, with customizable schedules that you can copy and hand out to group leaders for quick reference. When a large, hungry crowd gathered to hear Jesus, he fed all of them with loaves of bread and fish. Many of us remember how the story ends – with a miraculous banquet – but where it began is important, too: with a small child and the gifts of God’s creation.

  • Getting Beneath the Surface: Scapegoating and the Systems Approach in a Post-Munro World Introduction the Publication of The
    Getting beneath the surface: Scapegoating and the Systems Approach in a post-Munro world Introduction The publication of the Munro Review of Child Protection: Final Report (2011) was the culmination of an extensive and expansive consultation process into the current state of child protection practice across the UK. The report focused on the recurrence of serious shortcomings in social work practice and proposed an alternative system-wide shift in perspective to address these entrenched difficulties. Inter-woven throughout the report is concern about the adverse consequences of a pervasive culture of individual blame on professional practice. The report concentrates on the need to address this by reconfiguring the organisational responses to professional errors and shortcomings through the adoption of a ‘systems approach’. Despite the pre-occupation with ‘blame’ within the report there is, surprisingly, at no point an explicit reference to the dynamics and practices of ‘scapegoating’ that are so closely associated with organisational blame cultures. Equally notable is the absence of any recognition of the reasons why the dynamics of individual blame and scapegoating are so difficult to overcome or to ‘resist’. Yet this paper argues that the persistence of scapegoating is a significant impediment to the effective implementation of a systems approach as it risks distorting understanding of what has gone wrong and therefore of how to prevent it in the future. It is hard not to agree wholeheartedly with the good intentions of the developments proposed by Munro, but equally it is imperative that a realistic perspective is retained in relation to the challenges that would be faced in rolling out this new organisational agenda.
