Community Decision

In the fall of 2016, the Kahnawà:ke Community Decision Making Process revised the Kahnawà:ke Law on Membership regarding adoption. It was decided that any non-Indigenous child adopted by a Kahnawà:ke family after 2003 would not be recognized as a Kanien’kehá:ka of Kahnawà:ke or an approved resident. Parents were committing an offense in adopting non-Indigenous children and would no longer be eligible to reside in Kahnawà:ke. This decision drew national and international attention, with some questioning the logic of targeting a practice so integral to many Indigenous legal orders. This article frames Rotinonhsiónni adoption, belonging, and identity formation beyond the confines of colonial thought. This might seem like a tall order given colonialism’s all-encompassing grasp on Indigenous minds and communities; indeed, we are all entangled in the colonial order. But there is a way to challenge this by moving beyond frameworks reliant on colonial control.

The Road

This paper analyses the experience of the Spanish Republican refugees who left Catalonia in the Retirada of January and February 1939. The first section – “the Road to Bourg-Madame” – considers issues of interpretation raised by the refugees' texts: it discusses historiography, the politics of memory, and political culture. In “Bourg-Madame”, the second section, the essay considers the refugees' experiences. It discusses previous patterns of Spanish migration, the decision-making process that preceded the refugees' journey, group identity formation during the Retirada, the gendered dimension of their experiences, the despair felt by many on arrival in France and the reception that the refugees met. The paper ends by discussing the surprising resilience of the refugees.

AbstractThis project involved the collection of stories about the aspirations, goals and strategies from a sample of mothers of Indigenous children living in Perth, Western Australia. Analysis of the semi-structured interviews indicated that the education of their children was important for many of the mothers. Whilst some of the mothers preferred their children to learn about their Indigenous history, culture and identity, others valued the type of education that emanates from a mainstream-style school system. A major theme was a need for schools to partner with Indigenous parents in the decision-making process to engage the families in a positive education experience.

RESUMOA dinâmica identitária de gênero atrelada ao desenvolvimento crescente dos empreendimentos geridos por mulheres orienta a compreensão das mudanças comportamentais da contemporaneidade. Este trabalho, portanto, tem como objetivo analisar de que modo a formação identitária de empreendedoras que atuam no segmento de educação infantil, em Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, interfere no processo de tomada de decisões dessas mulheres. Considerou-se, portanto, as socializações que ocorreram ao longo da vida das gestoras. A partir de uma análise qualitativa, analisou-se o caso de dez empreendedoras através da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas. O estudo demonstrou que a percepção das entrevistadas em torno da construção de suas identidades como mulheres foi marcada pela influência das socializações que tiveram, principalmente no âmbito familiar. Ademais, foi identificado um perfil de gestão feminino marcado por características como intuição, sensibilidade e flexibilidade de relacionamento. Desse modo, concluiu-se que as representações sociais de gênero definem padrões comportamentais para mulheres que influenciam a escolha do segmento de atuação e o processo decisório.Palavras-chave: Gênero. Identidade. Decisão. ABSTRACTThe gender identity dynamics linked to the growing development of enterprises managed by women guides the understanding of contemporary behavioral changes. This work, therefore, aims to analyze how the identity formation of female entrepreneurs working in the early childhood education segment, in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, interferes in the decision-making process of these women. Therefore, the socializations that occurred throughout the life of the managers were considered. From a qualitative analysis, the case of ten women entrepreneurs was analyzed through semi-structured interviews. The study showed that the interviewees' perception of the construction of their identities as women was marked by the influence of the socializations they had, especially in the family context. In addition, a female management profile was identified, marked by characteristics such as intuition, sensitivity and relationship flexibility. Thus, it was concluded that social representations of gender define behavioral patterns for women that influence the choice of the segment of activity and the decision-making process.Keywords: Genre.

Feature Match

The purpose of this article is to outline a decision-making process and highlight which portions of the augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluation process deserve special attention when deciding which features are required for a communication system in order to provide optimal benefit for the user. The clinician then will be able to use a feature-match approach as part of the decision-making process to determine whether mobile technology or a dedicated device is the best choice for communication. The term mobile technology will be used to describe off-the-shelf, commercially available, tablet-style devices like an iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad®, and Android® or Windows® tablet.

Slow Progress

Women today are considered to be outside the political and administrative power structures and their participation in the decision-making process is non-existent. As far as their participation in the political life is concerned they are still on the margins. The existence of patriarchal society in Lebanon as well as the absence of governmental policies and procedures that aim at helping women and enhancing their political participation has made it very difficult for women to be accepted as leaders and to be granted votes in elections (UNIFEM, 2002).This above quote is taken from a report that was prepared to assess the progress made regarding the status of Lebanese women both on the social and governmental levels in light of the Beijing Platform for Action – the name given to the provisions of the Fourth Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995. The above quote describes the slow progress achieved by Lebanese women in view of the ambitious goal that requires that the proportion of women occupying administrative or political positions in Lebanon should reach 30 percent of thetotal by the year 2005!
