  • Derogatory Discourses of Veganism and the Reproduction of Speciesism in UK 1 National Newspapers Bjos 1348 134..152
    The British Journal of Sociology 2011 Volume 62 Issue 1 Vegaphobia: derogatory discourses of veganism and the reproduction of speciesism in UK 1 national newspapers bjos_1348 134..152 Matthew Cole and Karen Morgan Abstract This paper critically examines discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers in 2007. In setting parameters for what can and cannot easily be discussed, domi- nant discourses also help frame understanding. Discourses relating to veganism are therefore presented as contravening commonsense, because they fall outside readily understood meat-eating discourses. Newspapers tend to discredit veganism through ridicule, or as being difficult or impossible to maintain in practice. Vegans are variously stereotyped as ascetics, faddists, sentimentalists, or in some cases, hostile extremists. The overall effect is of a derogatory portrayal of vegans and veganism that we interpret as ‘vegaphobia’. We interpret derogatory discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers as evidence of the cultural reproduction of speciesism, through which veganism is dissociated from its connection with debates concerning nonhuman animals’ rights or liberation. This is problematic in three, interrelated, respects. First, it empirically misrepresents the experience of veganism, and thereby marginalizes vegans. Second, it perpetuates a moral injury to omnivorous readers who are not presented with the opportunity to understand veganism and the challenge to speciesism that it contains. Third, and most seri- ously, it obscures and thereby reproduces

  • Providing Social Support for Immigrants and Refugees in Canada: Challenges and Directions
    Journal of Immigrant Health, Vol. 7, No. 4, October 2005 (C 2005) DOI: 10.1007/s10903-005-5123-1 Providing Social Support for Immigrants and Refugees in Canada: Challenges and Directions Laura Simich,1,5 Morton Beiser,2 Miriam Stewart,3 and Edward Mwakarimba4 In this article we report research findings from a qualitative study of social support for immi- grants and refugees in Canada. We focus on challenges from the perspectives of 137 service providers and policymakers in health and immigrant settlement who participated in in-depth interviews and focus groups in three Canadian cities. Results show that social support is perceived to play an important role in immigrant settlement and to have a positive impact on immigrant health, although immigrants face many systemic challenges. Systemic issues— limited resources, lack of integration of policies and programs and narrow service mandates— also limit service providers’ abilities to meet newcomer’s needs. This research suggests that changes in public discourse about immigrants’ contributions, improved governance and ser- vice coordination, and a holistic, long-term perspective are important to more effectively support immigrant settlement and to promote immigrant health and well being. KEY WORDS: social support; immigrants; Canada; policy and services; barriers. INTRODUCTION family members, friends, peers and ...professionals that communicate information, esteem, practical, or Social support is a basic determinant of health, emotional help,” (3) plays a particularly important as vital to maintaining well being as food, shelter, role during major transition periods by enhancing income, and access to health care and social opportu- coping, moderating the impact of stressors and nities (1).

  • Children's Attitudes Towards Old
    Children’s attitudes towards old age: findings from the Kids’ Life and Times Survey 2014 Paula Devine and Gemma M. Carney 14 December 2016 The fact that the world’s population is ageing tends is seen as the result of people living longer. In fact decreasing child mortality and falling birth rates are also major contributors to the increase in average life expectancy. Northern Ireland is part of this global trend. The 2015 mid-year population estimates indicate that 21% of Northern Ireland’s population is aged under 16 years, whilst 16% of the population is aged 65 years or over. By 2027 there will be the same number of people in each of these age groups. In other words, 20% will be aged 0-15, equivalent numbers will be aged 65 or over. These age groups have been called the ‘bookend generations’ (Hagestad and Ulhenberg, 2006). Despite this, the impact of an ageing population on the lives of children is rarely investigated. This Policy Brief presents results which challenge policy-makers to think about how population ageing affects all age groups, particularly when societies are segregated along age lines. Policy context The policy environment in Northern Ireland has changed in 2016, with the reduction in the number of government departments from twelve to nine. In general, Northern Ireland has developed parallel government policies and strategies focusing on different age groups, including: Active Ageing Strategy 2016-2021 (Northern Ireland Executive, 2016) Our Children and Young People – Our Pledge: a Ten Year Strategy for Children and Young People 2006-2016 (OFMDFM, 2006) Knowledge Exchange Seminar Series 2016-17 In addition, each age group has a relevant commissioner.

    Jan Lievens (Leiden 1607 – 1674 Amsterdam) © 2017 The Leiden Collection Jan Lievens Page 2 of 11 How To Cite Bakker, Piet. "Jan Lievens." In The Leiden Collection Catalogue. Edited by Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. New York, 2017. https://www.theleidencollection.com/archive/. This page is available on the site's Archive. PDF of every version of this page is available on the Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. Archival copies will never be deleted. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. Jan Lievens was born in Leiden on 24 October 1607. His parents were Lieven Hendricxsz, “a skillful embroiderer,” and Machtelt Jansdr van Noortsant. 1 The couple would have eight children, of whom Jan and Dirck (1612–50/51) would become painters, and Joost (Justus), the eldest son, a bookseller. 2 In 1632 Joost married an aunt of the painter Jan Steen (1625/26–79). 3 At the age of eight, Lievens was apprenticed to Joris van Schooten (ca. 1587–ca. 1653), “who painted well [and] from whom he learned the rudiments of both drawing and painting.” 4 According to Orlers, Lievens left for Amsterdam two years later in 1617 to further his education with the celebrated history painter Pieter Lastman (1583–1633), “with whom he stayed for about two years making great progress in art.” 5 What impelled his parents to send him to Amsterdam at such a young age is not known. When he returned to Leiden in 1619, barely twelve years old, “he established himself thereafter, without any other master, in his father’s house.” 6 In the years that followed, Lievens painted large, mostly religious and allegorical scenes.
