This document discusses George Lipsitz's book "The Possessive Investment in Whiteness" and some of the key concepts and arguments it puts forth. Lipsitz uses the concept of "possessive investment in whiteness" to explain how whiteness generates advantages that are often invisible, such as preferential access to housing and job opportunities. He argues that systemic racism in areas like housing, education, employment, and environmental policy have created social and economic inequalities between white people and people of color in the U.S. The document asks questions about how Lipsitz characterizes white and minority experiences of race in America and how this relates to narratives of meritocracy and progress.

LiisBeth Presents: What is Feminism? A Primer for Modern Times
Feminism is a worldwide movement that advocates for social, political, and economic gender justice, equity, and equality. It acknowledges that while biology determines sex, gender identity and roles are socially constructed. Applying a gender lens has helped reveal inequities in power structures and how to create fairer societies. Feminism benefits all of humanity by advocating for the rights of all people to live freely regardless of sex, gender, or sexuality.

Rhetoric of the disability rights movement
The document summarizes the rhetoric of the disability rights movement in the United States. It began in the 1800s but gained momentum in the mid-1900s as disabilities became more of a social issue. A key achievement was the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against the disabled. The movement aimed to promote equal political and social rights and break down barriers facing the disabled community. Several rhetorical artifacts are described, including personal stories, articles celebrating the ADA's anniversary and promoting inclusion, and a speech by a prominent disability rights leader calling for equal treatment.

Christensen and Haas argue that political movies both reinforce and dissent from public opinions on issues of the day. Regardless, they constantly reiterate messages that cynicism and apathy towards politics is inevitable. They praise films that condemn intolerance and corruption but criticize those that depict politics as evil, ignore collective action, and disparage alternative opinions. The authors admire films like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Reds that portray a more positive vision of democracy.

Democracy and diversity
The document discusses social divisions and their relationship to politics in democracies. It makes three key points:

The French Revolution helped establish the modern nation-state by connecting three elements: the state (government), the nation (citizenry), and the territory (land), within a constitutional framework.
Britain was the center of the industrial revolution for several reasons: its naval power allowed it to dominate global trade and extract raw materials from colonies through slavery; the cotton industry was well-suited to industrialization and attracted investment; and its colonial economic structure generated profits from slave labor that could be reinvested.
Thomas Jefferson introduced several innovations that impacted the development of slavery and capitalism in the US, including industrializing and dividing slave labor, recognizing the reproductive value of slaves, and using slaves as collateral to monetize

The document discusses four stages of social movements: emergence, coalescence, bureaucratization, and decline. Social movements are organized yet informal entities that engage in extra-institutional conflict to create policy changes or cultural changes. They emerge due to persistent social problems, consensus that problems are unjust, and failure to create change through normal mechanisms. The stages are emergence, popular stage, formalization, and decline which can occur through repression, co-optation, success, failure, or alignment with mainstream. Social movements are relevant to a class on globalization and culture because they create cultural change.
Copy of 320week6
This document discusses three academic articles related to culture and globalization. The Aizura and Cabezas articles examine gender, tourism, and transnationalism. Espiritu's article details her research on how consumption and labor are linked between the articles, with Espiritu conducting interviews and finding connections to broader course themes.
320sp15week3
1) The document discusses chapters from a book about the origins of modern globalization. It analyzes the world pre-1800 as polycentric with many centers of power, which changed due to 18th century European imperialism that resulted in colonization.
2) It examines the spread of Islam and its significance in creating common culture and cutting Europe off from trade routes, contributing to Europe's "dark ages." Warfare in Europe from 1000-1500 drove the development of territorial-based nation-states with populations large enough to sustain armies.
3) The slave trade allowed the sugar economy to develop and spread, fueling the growth of European empires and the nation-state system in the 1500-1800 period
320f16 week1
The document provides an overview of the first class of a college course on globalization and culture. It introduces the syllabus and course website. It then discusses key concepts like defining globalization and examining its political, economic, and cultural dimensions. It also defines culture and explores how to map and understand the spread of globalization using different types of maps showing aspects like populations, economies, indigenous peoples, and time zones over history.
U.s. global interventions
The document discusses US interventions overseas that often begin as humanitarian efforts but end up lasting much longer and costing more than initially estimated. It provides examples of interventions in Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya that were presented as limited humanitarian or counterterrorism missions but evolved into prolonged wars. The document also examines why the US continues these interventions, arguing it is largely due to fears of terrorist attacks on American soil and a view that perpetual warfare overseas prevents attacks at home. It notes rising anti-Western sentiment and terrorism as unintended consequences of US interventionism.
Intro robinsonand connell
This document summarizes key points from lectures by Cedric Robinson and Raewyn Connell on the origins and development of sociology in relation to imperialism. Robinson argues that Marxism fails to account for racial capitalism and the role of racial hierarchies in the development of European bourgeoisies and imperial nations. Connell shows how early sociology emerged from imperial metropoles to rationalize colonial domination through concepts of progress and primitive cultures. Both critiqued how sociology universalized the particular experiences of European societies and elided the central role of imperialism.

Race and Class
Race and class are mutually constitutive social constructs that shape American institutions and policies, as evidenced by the racial disparities exacerbated by programs like the New Deal and GI Bill that were formally race-neutral but implemented in a discriminatory manner. A universal and "targeting within universalism" approach is proposed that rejects both blanket universalism indifferent to different group experiences and particularism, seeking instead to transform structures to lift all people together through collective solutions and coalition building across racial and class lines.
Capitalism, Race, and the Struggle for Equality
This document discusses critical race theory and the intersection of race and class. It makes three key points:
1) Race and class are co-constitutive and intersect at individual, group, and societal levels, shaping identity and inequality over time. The exclusion of non-whites from New Deal programs entrenched structural racial inequality.
2) Opportunity structures in domains like housing, employment, education sort individuals and groups in racialized ways. A shift is needed to examine how institutions collectively racialize opportunities.
3) Corporate power increasingly shapes key areas of life and diminishes public and private spaces, with implications for civil rights that are debated in issues like Citizens United.
The Path to Transformation: Building a Multiracial Movement
The Path to Transformation: Building a Multiracial Movement Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
1. The document discusses building a multiracial movement through transformation, not just transactions, by recognizing our interconnectedness and linked fate across racial groups.
2. It emphasizes the need to have honest discussions about race, understand how implicit biases and framing shape perceptions, and work towards arrangements where all groups benefit through targeted universalism.
3. True transformation requires changing individual mindsets and rearranging institutions to be more equitable and mutually supportive of diversity, rather than just negotiating the current unequal systems.White Privilege
In this presentation you will learn what white privilege is, how it affects politics and the economics, explore if it is specifically an American problem, and ways to combat it.

Somewhere between Jim Crow &
Post-Racialism: Reflections on the
Racial Divide in America Today
Lawrence D. Bobo
© 2011 by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences
LAWRENCED. BOBO, a Fellow
of the American Academy since
2006, is the W.E.B. Du Bois Pro-
fessor of the Social Sciences at
Harvard University and a found-
ing editor of the Du Bois Review.
His publications include Racialized
Politics: The Debate about Racism in
America (with David O. Sears and

In assessing the results of the Negro revolution so
far, it can be concluded that Negroes have estab-
lished a foothold, no more. We have written a Dec-
laration of Independence, itself an accomplishment,
but the effort to transform the words into a life ex-
perience still lies ahead.
–Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go
From Here? (1968)
By the middle of the twentieth century, the color
line was as well de½ned and as ½rmly entrenched
as any institution in the land. After all, it was older
than most institutions, including the federal govern-
ment itself. More important, it informed the con-
tent and shaped the lives of those institutions and
the people who lived under them.
–John Hope Franklin, The Color Line (1993)
This is where we are right now. It’s a racial stale-
mate we’ve been stuck in for years. Contrary to
the claims of some of my critics, black and white,
I have never been so naive as to believe that we can
get beyond our racial divisions in a single election
cycle, or with a single candidacy–particularly a
candidacy as imperfect as my own.
–Barack H. Obama, “A More Perfect Union”
(May 18, 2008)1
The year 1965 marked an important inflection
point in the struggle for racial justice in the Unit-
ed States, underscoring two fundamental points
11
about race in America.2 First, that racial
inequality and division were not only
Southern problems attached to Jim Crow
segregation. Second, that the nature of
those inequalities and divisions was a
matter not merely of formal civil status
and law, but also of deeply etched eco-
nomic arrangements, social and politi-
cal conditions, and cultural outlooks
and practices. Viewed in full, the racial
divide was a challenge of truly national
reach, multilayered in its complexity
and depth. Therefore, the achievement
of basic citizenship rights in the South
was a pivotal but far from exhaustive
stage of the struggle.
The positive trend of the times revolved
around the achievement of voting rights.
March 7, 1965, now known as Bloody Sun-
day, saw police and state troopers attack
several hundred peaceful civil rights pro-
testors at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in
Selma, Alabama. The subsequent march
from Selma to Montgomery, participat-
ed in by tens of thousands, along with
other protest act.

A recap of two types of statuses: achieved and ascribed
· Achieved status-a social position that a person attains largely through his or her own efforts.
· Ascribed status-a social position assigned to a person by society without regard for the person’s unique talents and characteristics.
Stratification
· Can be based on race, class, gender, or sexuality
Why do we have stratification? Functionalists maintain that a differential system of rewards and punishments is necessary for the efficient operation of society.

· Between 1973-2000, the top 5% of American families saw their share of income go up almost 30% while the bottom 40% saw their share drop 17%
· The way our system is set up is not an accident
What happened to trickle down? Reagan said if taxes were cut at the top, the wealth will trickle down. THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN; No real trickle down

Discrimination in society1Discrimination in society6.docx
Racial discrimination has caused significant harm in American society in recent years, especially with police shootings of black people. While laws have sought to prohibit discrimination based on attributes like race, discrimination persists and negatively impacts people's social and economic development. The document discusses various ways discrimination can be measured and occurs, and how it can accumulate over time to limit opportunities. While efforts have been made to address discrimination, more work is still needed to promote equality and overcome its harmful impacts.

As you complete this assignment, think about the following:
How is race socially constructed?
How do we socialize children to recognize race and ethnicity?
How do we define racism, prejudice and discrimination and how do they relate to privilege?
After viewing the various segments of the “Blues Eyes, Brown Eyes” videos, answer one (1) of the following sets of questions.
Option 1: Racism
Some people argue that racism is primarily a belief or attitude and that anyone who unfairly judges another based on race is racist. Others argue that racism is about action and systemic discrimination, so only those with the power to act, and not those who are the targets of discrimination, can be racist. Based on the quotes listed below and in an essay format, answer the following: which argument do you find more convincing and why? Is there a difference between racism and prejudice? If so, what is the difference?
"Racism couples the false assumption that race determines psychological and cultural traits with the belief that one race is superior to another."
--A World of Difference project of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith
.
"Racism is any attitude, action, or institutional structure which subordinates a person or group because of skin color."
--U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, 1970
"We define racism as an institutionalized system of economic, political, social, and cultural relations that ensures that one racial group has and maintains power and privilege over all others in all aspects of life. Individual participation in racism occurs when the objective outcome of behavior reinforces these relations, regardless of the subjective intent."
--Carol Brunson Phillips and Louise Derman-Sparks in
Teaching/Learning Anti-Racism: A Developmental Approach
, (Teachers College Press, 1997)
Option 2: Privilege
One of the goals of the civil rights movement was to ensure equal opportunity for every US citizen, irrespective of race. When the civil rights movement began, the legal system did not grant the same rights to blacks and other minorities as it did to whites. Today, those laws have been changed, leading some to argue that the US has achieved a level playing field.

1. A study found that racial attitudes, as measured by racial resentment and racial stereotypes, became more strongly associated with white Americans' health care opinions after Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 compared to before his election.
2. This increase in the effect of racial attitudes was independent of partisanship, ideology, views on limited government, and concerns about medical costs.
3. A survey experiment also showed that racial attitudes had a stronger influence on white Americans' support for health care policy when Obama was mentioned compared to when either "some people" or "President Bill Clinton" were mentioned instead.

Introduction
This last section of the book will compare racial and ethnic relations in the United States
with racial and ethnic relations in other countries. While certainly the lessons and con-
cepts learned in studying race and ethnicity in the United States can be applied to other
parts of the world, racial and ethnic relations are by no means uniform around the globe.
For example, in different countries racial and ethnic groups coexist and experience plu-
ralism in markedly different ways. Some societies strive for pluralistic equality, many
marginalize minority racial groups, and still others fracture into violence and bloodshed
on the basis of rac.

This document contains discussion questions about two readings:
1) "Cabezas: Between Love and Money" which examines how Cabezas challenges categories of sex work and romance through ethnographic research methods.
2) "Sudbury: A World Without Prisons" which analyzes the prison industrial complex and its connections to militarism, neoliberalism, and prison expansion. Sudbury argues that truly tackling prison issues requires intersectional, multi-issue organizing rather than identity-based movements. The document also discusses how September 11th was used to justify increased militarism and privatization.

The document discusses the concept of "Yellow Peril" and how it connects to international trade debates. It provides quotes from the 2012 US presidential debates between Obama and Romney where they accuse China of unfair trade practices like currency manipulation and intellectual property theft. The document asks what Ross argues the "fear of a Chinese threat" obscures. It discusses Ross' analysis of worker protests in China and the common cultural explanations versus Ross' Marxist perspective. It covers concepts like social reproduction through mass consumption and different types of workers like in factories, gold farming, and Apple stores. Finally, it lists several Marxist political economy concepts seen in these issues.

It defines colonialism as direct political control and economic extraction, while neocolonialism uses indirect political means for economic extraction.
320f18 week5
- David Harvey argues that neoliberalism involves "creative destruction", destroying existing social and economic systems to drive innovation and competition.
- Key premises of neoliberal theory include that free markets maximize well-being, and the state's role is to enforce private property rights, individual liberty, free markets, and free trade.
- Harvey argues that in practice, neoliberal policies have mainly resulted in wealth redistribution to a smaller elite class, rather than generating broader prosperity.
320sp18 week4
The document discusses several topics related to globalization and capitalism including:
1) Why Britain was the center of industrialization - due to its naval power, cotton industry, and use of colonialism to extract raw materials like cotton through slave labor.
2) How cotton fueled industrialization - it was profitable, attracted investment, and machinery for processing it was cheap and promised quick returns.
3) Thomas Jefferson's innovations that impacted slavery and capitalism - including industrializing and dividing slave labor, recognizing the reproductive value of slaves, and using slaves as collateral.
320sp18 week3
The document discusses key concepts and events from Steven Marks' book "Origins of the Modern World: A Global and Ecological Narrative". It summarizes Marks' argument that the current globalized world system emerged from historical forces in the 15th-18th centuries, challenging a Eurocentric view. It also outlines Marks' analysis of the transition from a polycentric pre-modern world to European imperialism establishing core-periphery relations. Specific historical topics covered include Chinese and Islamic trade networks, the rise of European nation-states linked to warfare, and the impacts of European colonization in the Americas.

Kwame Nkrumah was born in 1909 in the British colony of Gold Coast, Africa. He lived and studied in the United States and United Kingdom from 1935 to 1947 before returning to help lead Ghana's independence movement. Ghana became independent in 1957 with Nkrumah as its first president. However, he was overthrown in a 1966 CIA-backed coup that realigned Ghana with Western powers. Nkrumah was primarily concerned with the concept of neocolonialism, in which former colonial powers extract resources through indirect political means rather than direct control after independence.
320f17 week5
The document discusses topics related to globalization, neoliberalism, Marxism, and postcolonial theory. It provides information on research groups for various topics, defines key concepts from Marx such as commodity and surplus value, and outlines David Harvey's perspective on neoliberalism including his view of "creative destruction" and the premises of neoliberalism. It also discusses Keynesianism, the naturalization of neoliberalism in the US, Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" theory, the military-industrial complex and disaster capitalism complex, and Kwame Nkrumah's views on neocolonialism.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
