Modern Day Inquisitions

Like the Inquisitions in the 1600s, the modern day inquisitions are attempts to secure the supremacy of religious hierarchies in matters of gender, sexuality, and reproduction. The modern day inquisitions jeopardize academic freedoms, particularly of scholars who focus on reproductive health law and ethics, and use hostile stereotypes and social condemnation, among other mechanisms, to control sexuality and reproduction, and to privilege male dominance. In this sense, the overarching barriers to achieving gender justice in this hemisphere are the modern day inquisitions. This article based on a keynote speech of the Conference on Gender Justice in the Americas, graciously hosted by the University of Miami School of Law, February 23-25, 2011, attempts: to take stock of some of the past achievements in applying human rights and constitutional provisions to protect the dignity of different sexualities, reduce violence, and promote reproductive and sexual health, to explore some of the lessons learned in applying human rights and constitutional provisions to these issues, and finally, to think about how best to face challenges ahead and to strengthen networks to create better synergies in our research, teaching, and advocacy to improve gender justice in the Americas

Critical Medical Anthropology: Perspectives in and from Latin America

Critical Medical Anthropology presents inspiring work from scholars doing and engaging with ethnographic research in or from Latin America, addressing themes that are central to contemporary Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA). This includes issues of inequality, embodiment of history, indigeneity, non-communicable diseases, gendered violence, migration, substance abuse, reproductive politics and judicialisation, as these relate to health. The collection of ethnographically informed research, including original theoretical contributions, reconsiders the broader relevance of CMA perspectives for addressing current global healthcare challenges from and of Latin America. It includes work spanning four countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Peru) as well as the trans-migratory contexts they connect and are defined by. By drawing on diverse social practices, it addresses challenges of central relevance to medical anthropology and global health, including reproduction and maternal health, sex work, rare and chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry and questions of agency, political economy, identity, ethnicity, and human rights

Propuesta metodológica para la administración del riesgo en las instituciones educativas públicas del departamento del Atlántico soportada en las TIC

Educational Institutions -EI, as any other organization in the world, are exposed to different types of risks that must be treated or handled in a properly way, however this can affect their normal operation of the EI. Some of these risks could be the physical management, corruption, and digital security. For these reason the EI are not exempt to being affected by natural disasters, so they must be able to formulate contingency plans and execute emergency response actions that ensure the continuity of the service and guarantee the education rights to the students. In fact it is very important that the EI would be capable to manage the risks, before than they may to materialize, indistinct of their nature, and establish adequate controls to guarantee a total compliance of the goals and aims of the EI. Consequently, this Dissertation proposes to develop the creation of a methodology based in the risk management guide of the Administrative Department of the Public Function - DAFP and 59th guide of the Ministry of National Education. - MEN, in order to mitigate the impact or the probability of occurrence of the risks that may affect the normal operation of the IE. The proposed methodology will be developed through a technological tool that will systematize and will unify the risk management methodology, the design of the controls and the way to perform the attention to emergencies and disasters.Las Instituciones Educativas -IE, al igual que cualquier organización en general, se encuentran expuestas a diferentes tipos de riesgos que si no se tratan o administran de manera adecuada pueden llegar a afectar su normal operación. Entre los riesgos que pueden encontrarse en las IE están los físicos, los de gestión, los de corrupción, y los de seguridad digital. De igual forma las IE no están exentas de ser afectadas por desastres naturales, por lo que deben estar en capacidad de formular planes de contingencia y ejecutar acciones de respuesta a emergencias con las que aseguren la continuidad de la prestación del servicio y garanticen el derecho a la educación. Por lo anterior, es de suma importancia que las IE estén en la capacidad de administrar los riesgos que se puedan materializar, sea cual sea su naturaleza, y establecer controles que garanticen el cumplimiento de sus objetivos institucionales. Por consiguiente, el presente trabajo de grado, propone la creación de una metodología basada en la guía para la administración del riesgo del Departamento Administrativo de la Función Pública - DAFP y en la guía 59 del Ministerio de Educación Nacional - MEN, con la finalidad de mitigar el impacto u ocurrencia de los riesgos que puedan afectar la normal operatividad de las IE. La metodología propuesta será operacionalizada por medio de una herramienta tecnológica que sistematizará y unificará la metodología de administración del riesgo, el diseño de controles y la atención a emergencias y desastres
