Improving Networking Supports for Women in the Workplace

This report describes findings from research on networking activities and strategies among women in executive and leadership positions in Canadian organizations. The project was carried out by graduate student researchers in collaboration with the Women\u27s Executive Network. Networking is defined as the creation and maintenance of a community of diverse interests, through in-person and online engagements, that can be mobilized for the benefit of oneself or other members of one’s network. We found that the shift to primarily online networking activities due to COVID-19 removed some existing barriers related to age, gender and location, while introducing others related to family status and technology. Participants indicated that they engaged more frequently in online networking activities but found in-person networking to be more effective. We offer nine recommendations for supporting women\u27s professional success through networking based on analysis of 6 interviews, 85 survey responses and observation of online networking activities and events

DOMINATED LANGUAGES IDEOLOGY AND LINGUISTIC VIOLENCE IN MAPUDUNGUN

This article proposes elements for the development of a sociology of minority languages. It raises the need for a dialogue between the social sciences and linguistics for the characterization and the situation of linguistic dominance. For this, he proposes the complementarity between the perspectives of ideologies and linguistic violence. In methodological terms, the article systematizes the literature on linguistic ideologies developed by Krotskity and Silverstein and the works of Pierre Bourdieu on violence and linguistic habitus. Both conceptualizations are reviewed in the light of primary and secondary evidence on the situation of the Mapuche language, Mapudungun, in Chile. The article concludes with a discussion on the sociological possibilities of a linguistic liberation of the indigenous and Mapuche peoples.Este artículo propone elementos para el desarrollo de una sociología de las lenguas minoritarias.

Notes for genera – Ascomycota

Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10--15 years, and continues to accelerate. Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic, and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended. New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera. The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same species in 2011, has also caused changes in fungal generic names. In order to facilitate access to all important changes, it was desirable to compile these in a single document. The present article provides a list of generic names of Ascomycota (approximately 6500 accepted names published to the end of 2016), including those which are lichen-forming. Notes and summaries of the changes since the last edition of `Ainsworth Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi' in 2008 are provided. The notes include the number of accepted species, classification, type species (with location of the type material), culture availability, life-styles, distribution, and selected publications that have appeared since 2008. This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the ``Without prejudice list of generic names of Fungi'' published in 2013, which will be developed into a list of protected generic names. This will be subjected to the XIXth International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen in July 2017 agreeing to a modification in the rules relating to protected lists, and scrutiny by procedures determined by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). The previously invalidly published generic names Barriopsis, Collophora (as Collophorina), Cryomyces, Dematiopleospora, Heterospora (as Heterosporicola), Lithophila, Palmomyces (as Palmaria) and Saxomyces are validated, as are two previously invalid family names, Bartaliniaceae and Wiesneriomycetaceae. Four species of Lalaria, which were invalidly published are transferred to Taphrina and validated as new combinations. Catenomycopsis Tibell Constant. is reduced under Chaenothecopsis Vain., while Dichomera Cooke is reduced under Botryosphaeria Ces. De Not. (Art. 59)
