move shift

My research investigates choreography that uses the kinesthetic experience of making visual art to inform the way I move, assemble movements, and create atmospheres. One practice that I engage with when intersecting a curiosity for visual art making and dance is to blind contour draw movement that I see. From there, I spend time embellishing what is on the paper to understand the priorities that came to light when transposing an ephemeral movement onto a flat picture plane. I aim to not capture exactly what I saw and instead depict a phenomenological experience of witnessing dance, which feels closer to the totality of what live dance spaces contain. This practice is a rich way for me to research my own aesthetic observations, a unique way of looking at the moving body, and a way of beginning a process of making dance phrases for choreographic research.Ope

Introduction to New Governance and the Business Organization Special Issue of Law and Policy

The point of departure for this exciting collection of articles is to advance the scholarly treatment of “new governance” by shifting its focus away from what regulators do or how they do it, and towards examining the encounter between new governance and business organizations, within those organizations themselves. As is evident from this issue, this shift still provides a broad canvas on which to work, as the types of business activity examined here through the lens of new governance encompass railways, food safety, corporate privacy, and bank lending, as well as securities and derivatives trading. A particular strength of the articles in this issue is the presentation of original empirical research, ranging from surveys of business in the UK food sector (Hutter) and a case study of corporate restructuring (Sarra) to interviews with privacy officers (Bamberger and Mulligan), bankers (Conley and Williams), and corporate monitors (Ford and Hess). While most of the papers focus on specific domestic contexts for business activity, Conley and Williams’ paper is pitched at the global take up of the Equator Principles for project lending, and Ford and Hess comment on comparisons between Canada and the United States in the implementation of corporate monitorship programmes

Introduction to \u27New Governance and the Business Organization\u27

In the fall of 2010, the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law welcomed a group of scholars from around the world to consider the state, and evolution, of responsive regulation, in both theory and practice. The occasion was the presence of Dr. John Braithwaite as UBC Law’s inaugural Fasken Martineau Senior Visiting Scholar. This paper is an introductory essay to the special edition of the UBC Law Review devoted to the workshop’s resulting work products. The volume begins with John Braithwaite’s own reflections on the responsive regulation project. On one level, the set of essays that follows his can be read as an attempt to advance our understanding of responsive regulation in three substantive areas: tax (see the essays of Judith Freedman and Dennis Ventry), financial regulation (the contributions of Edward Balleisen, Cristie Ford, Janis Sarra, and Dimity Kingsford Smith), and environmental regulation (with essays by Natasha Affolder and Oren Perez). But to segregate this body of work into discrete areas of substantive subject interest is to miss the provocative cross-currents that run between the contributions to this volume. A clear objective of the organizers of this conference was to consciously erode the barriers that prevent learning across subject areas, and across disciplines. This introductory essay identifies broad conversations emerging from comparisons between diverse regulatory contexts that continue to renew, enrich, and add nuance to theories of responsive regulation today, nearly two decades later. Along with reviewing the significance of John Braithwaite’s contribution in this volume, this introduction highlights three of these cross-cutting themes in particular: the civic republican potential (or the lack thereof) inherent in regulatory interactions; contemporary nodal, networked, or multi-layered conceptions of regulation and governance; and the influence of meta-regulatory or new governance notions of ongoing regulatory learning, and their relationship to the responsive regulatory pyramid

The Treaty Problem: Understanding the Framers\u27 Approach to International Legal Commitments

In 2014, when the Supreme Court decided Bond v. United States, it confrontedan issue of structural federalism that had long vexed advocates of big and smallgovernment alike. The issue stemmed from the tension between the broad, exclusive power the Constitution grants to the federal government to conclude international treaties and the limitations that the Constitution places on Congress’s domestic authority vis-à-vis the states. When these powers andlimitations conflict, which should win out? How expansive should the federalgovernment’s treaty power be? For both champions and critics of internationallaw, the Court’s response in Bond left much to be desired

Eliminating Waste Caused By Household Pests

Much loss and inconvenience is experienced by homemakers each year through insects which have become pests in the home. Few homes in South Dakota have not experienced some damage from clothes moths. Much food has been destroyed or rendered unfit for use by other insects. It has been definitely established that flies and other household pests play an important part in the spread of typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera and other diseases which destroy health and deflate family savings

Renewing Congregations: The Contribution of Faith-Based Community Organizing

Congregations of faith seek to live out the call of their faith traditions in a culture experiencing enormous change. One of the key shifts continuing to occur is the pressure experienced by families and communities in a culture of rising individualism and global economics.The emerging market-driven economy is expanding to influence more than just the acquisition of things. Relationships and communities are now being seen as commodities that are bought and sold

Faith and Public Life: Faith-Based Community Organizing and the Development of Congregations

The Congregational Development Research Study (CDRS) examines the impact of faith-based community organizing on organizational development in its primary institutional sponsors— religious congregations. That is, we study whether and how congregational development results from the particular form of civic engagement sometimes known as congregation-based, institutional, or broad-based organizing, and termed here faith-based community organizing.\u2
