Theories Social Construction and Islamic Feminism

At first glance the case of Sahur appears as if it is easy to analyze but as I read the linked article in depth I realized how complicated the case has become as knowledge of the events gained worldwide coverage. There are various patters of rights violations and domestic abuse that opened the door internationally in a call for social change in Afghanistan; though only time will tell if changes…

Lessons from Horizon Zero Dawn

Over the last week I have been watching a great deal of Horizon Zero Dawn gameplay on Twitch. The game itself is beautifully created with a variety of vast and dangerous environments. The story is one that provides a deep series of lessons that we need to be paying attention to today.

Lessons from Saint Francis of Assisi

I have been wanting to write this post for several days now but have been struggling with the words I want to use. Donald Trump and his administration terrify me. They have managed to bring fascism and hate to the forefront of American politics and it is unacceptable. As a professional in the realm of history with an emphasis on how conflict is passed down from generation to generation, I…

Refugees - Part 3

Refugees – Part 3

Practice

Hate and anger are deeply held and very personal feelings that each participant will likely define and describe differently. It will be essential to Syrian refugee populations to acknowledge these emotions and find ways to cooperate within their society in order to ensure that retributive violence does not occur because of hatred. I believe that the practice of facilitation will be…

Refugees – Part 2

Theory

First, we must address the nature of human rights and forced migration and the theoretical standards of human rights. On January 6, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt delivered his Four Freedom’s Speech in which he declared that everyone, everywhere had the right to freedom of speech and expression, freedom to worship God, freedom from want and freedom from fear (Roosevelt, 1941). Refugees are…

Refugees – Part One

Introduction

War destroys more than just physical landscapes and buildings. War destroys lives in a myriad of heartbreaking courses of action; one is the creation of refugees.

Call to Action: Dakota Access Pipeline

If you’re deeply concerned about Trump’s executive order to renegotiate the Dakota Access Pipeline (and you should be), here is a very simple call to action. He likely has financial ties to this project so it is more important than ever that he opens his tax returns so we can all see his conflicts of interest front and center. Please send an email of support for Senator Warren’s request to audit…
