Even though she grew up in Portland's ethnically rich East End, Linda Dinsmore never gave a lot of thought to her French-Italian heritage. But at a city-sponsored workshop this month, she found herself drawing on images of her childhood on Newbury Street to complete a project with paper, cardboard and other media. The artwork focused on her cultural identity and how it relates to her choice of work as a city employee.
Our study supports other analyses which suggest the psychological and physiological processes associated with the experience of racism and oppression, the cumulative impact of the psychological stress and strain of racism, the way racial categories and boundaries are constructed and policed, and the pathology of interracial relationships. Thus, the overall results provide strong evidence for the irrational mental processes that uphold social and political structures, the impacts of long-term exposure to racism and oppression, the relationship between individuals and their communities and societies, and the construction of mixed race subjectivity.

There is an idealizing function of representation that is intrinsically and deeply democratic and somehow present in all modern democratic constitutions. This paper discloses this function in John Rawls' theory of political founding and argues that is determinant of his idea of a constitutional agreement. Representation in the constitutional moment entails quite clearly a detachment from social, cultural or religious identity. The representational act of idealizing entails extricating political judgment from the positions people effectively occupy in society. This is the process of idealization or fictional judgment that occurs in Rawls' Original Position.
This article questions the role of public administration in facilitating the process of social inclusion of the culturally marginalized Other. It argues that government organizations could facilitate social inclusion of marginalized voices by providing symbolic public recognition of cultural differences. Government's role in the politics of social inclusion and public recognition is examined in the case of two highly marginalized cultural groups, Roma and Egyptians, in one deeply divided multicultural society, Macedonia. The paper focuses on four main issues relevant to public recognition of these groups: public recognition of their cultural identity, recognition of symbols of cultural identity, public use of languages, and enhancement of cultural autonomy. Based on the case study, the ...

This study of the afternoon Honolulu Star-Bulletin after an announcement to shut it down in 1999 hypothesizes that the strong cultural connections between the paper and its Hawai`i community helped prevent its closure. A cultural approach to the study of this organization reveals the shared meaning and group identity of newsroom employees that were a product of the paper's history and community ties, and were illuminated during the crisis. Other scholars could use this approach to examine cultural connections between newspapers and diverse communities, particularly during times of change.
The new digital media are a frontier that is rich with opportunities and risks, particularly for young people. Through digital technologies, young people are participating in a range of activities, including social networking, blogging, vlogging, gaming, instant messaging, downloading music and other content, uploading and sharing their own creations, and collaborating with others in various ways. In late 2006, our research team at Harvard Project Zero launched a three-year project funded by the MacArthur Foundation. The goals of the GoodPlay Project are twofold - (1) to investigate the ethical contours of the new digital media and (2) to create interventions to promote ethical thinking and, ideally, conduct. In the first year of the project, we conducted background research to determin...

Many immigrants and their children ask themselves the question of identity. Often we allow others to identify us and colonize our consciousness. Once we are "given" our identities, we are then stereotyped because of them. We then reap the benefit, or the disadvantages of our stereotypes. In turn social stereotypes that surround us, further shape our self-identity and consequently, the decisions we make. If we have no other outlet or if we feel as though there are no other options, we live those stereotypes. Some are harmful to us and leave us in the disadvantages places even to oppression of ourselves. In this paper, I discuss some harms of stereotyping, how it leads to voluntary oppression, and make some suggestion for ending racial oppression.
