  • Alfred Nicol Interviewed by Christine Yurick
    Alfred, there is little information available about your background (family, childhood, etc.). Is there a reason for that or would you be willing to share some with me? I was born in 1956, the second of my parents’ four children, whose births followed a pattern: girl, boy, girl, boy. My parents were working-class French- Canadian people from large families. My mother was the next-to-youngest in a family of twelve children; my father had eight brothers and sisters. Nearly all of the socializing my parents did was with family members. When I was a young boy, my playmates were my cousins. Neither my mother nor my father had much education. She completed her eight years at the Catholic elementary school which I later attended, Sacred Heart School in Amesbury, Massachusetts; after that, she worked at a hat factory and took care of her elderly mother. My father did not even make it through elementary school. He was asked to leave class for misbehavior in the sixth grade and he never returned. He did attend a technical high school later on, where he studied mechanical drafting. He took a job in a sheet metal shop, where he was made foreman and worked until his retirement. His co-workers had great respect for him. When I was old enough to work summers at the shop, they would tell me, whatever I might accomplish, I would never be as intelligent as my father. I liked hearing that. Though my mother claimed to have never read a book all the way through—it hurt her eyes, she said—she was a regular contributor to “Confidential Chat,” a women’s forum printed in The Boston Globe.

  • The Role of Political Parties in Promoting Women in Politics - Upla Women's Network Contribution
    THE ROLE OF POLITICAL PARTIES IN PROMOTING WOMEN IN POLITICS - UPLA WOMEN'S NETWORK CONTRIBUTION INTRODUCTION The Women's Network of the Union of Latin American Parties (UPLA) is a political platform that seeks to promote and strengthen the participation and positioning of women in public decision-making roles in Latin America and the Caribbean. We believe that the practices, policies and values of political parties can have a profound impact on women's political participation and representation. That is why the Network decided to join the iKNOW Politics e-discussion on “The Role of Political Parties in Promoting Women in Politics” to exchange knowledge on the role of political parties in promoting women’s participation and political representation. We prepared our contribution and discussed these important topics more widely during online discussions among members of the UPLA Women’s Network in August and September 2019. COUNTRIES THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE PREPARATION OF THIS DOCUMENT (COUNTRY, NAME OF REPRESENTATIVE(S) AND POLITICAL PARTY): Argentina Congresswoman Sofía Brambilla (PRO) Bolivia Local Assemblywoman Cinthya Mendoza (Demócratas) Chile Former Congresswoman Claudia Nogueira (UDI), Congresswoman Catalina del Real MP (RN) Colombia Senator Nadya Blel (PCC), Gina Segura (PCC) Costa Rica Mariana Fernández (PRSC) Dominican Republic Daysi Sepúlveda (FNP) El Salvador Congresswoman Martha Evelyn Batres (ARENA), Claudia Alas de Ávila, Member of PARLACEN (ARENA) Honduras Congresswoman Johana Bermúdez (PNH) Panama Gina Correa (CD) Peru Nadia Ramos (PPC), Gisela Tipe (AP), Milagros López (AP) 1.

  • “Bringing Militancy to Management”: an Approach to the Relationship
    “Bringing Militancy to Management”: An Approach to the Relationship between Activism 67 “Bringing Militancy to Management”: An Approach to the Relationship between Activism and Government Employment during the Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Administration in Argentina Melina Vázquez* Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET); Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani; Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina Abstract This article explores the relationship between employment in public administration and militant commitment, which is understood as that which the actors themselves define as “militant management.” To this end, an analysis is presented of three groups created within three Argentine ministries that adopted “Kirchnerist” ideology: La graN maKro (The Great Makro), the Juventud de Obras Públicas, and the Corriente de Libertación Nacional. The article explores the conditions of possibility and principal characteristics of this activism as well as the guidelines for admission, continuing membership, and promotion – both within the groups and within government entities – and the way that this type of militancy is articulated with expert, professional and academic capital as well as the capital constituted by the militants themselves. Keywords: Activism, expert knowledge, militant careers, state. * Article received on November 22, 2013; final version approved on March 26, 2014. This article is part of a series of studies that the author is working on as a researcher at CONICET and is part of the project “Activism and the Political Commitment of Youth: A Socio-Historical Study of their Political and Activist Experiences (1969-2011)” sponsored by the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Promotion, Argentine Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (2012-2015), of which the author is the director.

  • REVISTA SAAP V8 N2 D.Pmd
    Unidos y diversificados: la construcción del partido PRO en la CABA GABRIEL VOMMARO Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, Argentina Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina [email protected] SERGIO DANIEL MORRESI Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, Argentina Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina [email protected] El presente trabajo intenta cumplir dos objetivos. El primero es mos- trar y explicar los motivos de las dificultades que los partidos centro-dere- cha han tenido en la política argentina durante las últimas décadas. El segundo es exponer de qué modo el partido Propuesta Republicana (PRO) se ha enfrentado a esas dificultades a través de una estrategia subnacional y un posicionamiento que se presenta como posmaterial y no antiperonista. Se presentan argumentos analíticos y se exponen datos obtenidos mediante un trabajo de campo realizado durante 2011-2012 con cuadros políticos y dirigentes de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Desde que se reinstaló la democracia en 1983, varios partidos políticos de centro-derecha intentaron exorcizar la maldición de su contumaz fracaso electoral acudiendo a diferentes estrategias, tales como utilizar al Congreso Nacional como caja de resonancia, usar de forma sistemática a los medios de comunicación como sustitutos del trabajo territorial y el acercamiento a determinadas fracciones del peronismo. Por distintos motivos, estas estrate- gias resultaron infructuosas o no pudieron ser sostenidas en el tiempo. Sin embargo, con posterioridad a la crisis de 2001, surgió la Alianza Propuesta Republicana (más conocida por su forma abreviada PRO) que, en muy poco tiempo cosechó un éxito destacable a partir de una estrategia subnacional con base en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA).

  • Poetry and Culture Compute for Clarkson University Professor | Clarkson University
    9/25/2019 Poetry and Culture Compute for Clarkson University Professor | Clarkson University CU • News & Events Poetry and Culture Compute for Clarkson University Professor Monday August 1, 2016 Associate Professor of Computer Science Jeanna Matthews puts her own imprint on Clarkson University's motto, "Defy Convention." As she says, “computer scientists don't conventionally write poetry and Amish/German girls from Ohio don't conventionally love Spanish.” Her love of language and culture recently earned her the Rhina P. Espaillat Award and a $500 prize in a contest sponsored by the Poetry Center at West Chester University. The award recognizes poems written in Spanish and translations of English poems to Spanish. Espaillat, born in the Dominican Republic, started writing poetry in Spanish and English after her family was exiled to the United States. She is widely published in both languages. As you may well guess, the girl from Ohio was honored for a poem she wrote in Spanish, “Regalos del Invierno” (Winter's Gifts). It is from her book of poetry Playing Hard to Get and Other Sins/Haciendome la difícil y otros pecados. “It means a lot to me to develop parts of my life that are not necessarily related to computer science," she says. While she has no Spanish genealogy, her heart clearly beats in Latin rhythms. She even teaches Clarkson University Associate Professor of Computer Latin dance. Science Jeanna Matthews recently won the Rhina P. Espaillat Award in a contest sponsored by the Poetry Center at West Chester University. Above, Matthews “Spanish makes me happy.
