“I Really Belong Here”: Civic Capacity-Building among Returning Citizens

This article focuses on unlikely movement actors whose civic engagement has been understudied: people with criminal records (“returning citizens”). We present findings from 18 months of ethnographic research with members (leaders) of Fighting to Overcome Records and Create Equality (FORCE), a civic group led by returning citizens. FORCE leaders received institutional support from Community Renewal Society (CRS), a larger faith and community-based organization, to lead a rights reform movement in Chicago. Findings suggest that FORCE leaders constructed notions of kinship, recognition, and power through civic capacity-building efforts—and that social belonging was core to such capacity-building efforts. While bonding social belonging occurred as FORCE leaders formed kinship with people facing similar social and economic marginality, bridging social belonging emerged as leaders felt recognized by CRS staff organizers, affiliates, and elected officials. Bonding and bridging social belonging enabled FORCE leaders, who faced constant social exclusion in society, to experience much needed kinship, recognition, and power. Future studies should continue to uncover how local capacity-building processes have life-changing relational effects on movement participants from socially and economically marginalized groups.     

大学英语教学与学生社会文化意识的培养

海姆斯的交际能力理论认为社会文化意识和修养是交际能力的重要组成部分,大学生社会文化意识的培养与其跨文化交际能力的形成有着紧密的联系。培养大学生的跨文化交际能力是大学英语教学的目标之一,大学英语教学应针对目前大学生社会文化意识相对薄弱的特点,采取相应的教学措施,培养和增强大学生的社会文化意识,促进其跨文化交际能力的形成和提高。     

Beliefs underlying stress reduction and depression help-seeking among college students: An elicitation study

Objective: This study illustrates how a theory-based approach can identify college students’ beliefs about stress reduction activities and help-seeking for depression. These beliefs are the basis for intervention design. Participants: A sample of 53 undergraduate students at a public university in the Midwest participated in this research during March 2016. Methods: An open-ended belief elicitation survey was administered online. Beliefs were identified through qualitative thematic analyses. Results: Exercise was students’ most preferred stress reduction activity. Beliefs about exercise emphasized physical benefits yet also not having time for exercise. Beliefs about help-seeking for depression emphasized treatment efficacy, support from others, stigma, and time constraints. Conclusions: Whereas beliefs about positive outcomes inform educational and motivational messages, beliefs about time constraints underscore the need to also consider structural factors that can help students find time to attend to their well-being.     

抽象行政行为听证程序之适用

目前我国听证制度的适用范围较狭窄 ,特别是在中国加入 WTO后 ,更进一步暴露出其狭窄的听证范围与世贸规则的不协调。因此 ,有必要将听证程序的适用扩展至抽象行政行为 ,并对其适用的原则和范围予以具体规定。文章对抽象行政行为之听证程序的立法原则及其听证范围应包含的内容作出分析与论证 ,试图通过初步的探讨提出有参考价值的建议。     

法律规范的逻辑结构新论

将法律后果界定为法律规范的逻辑构成要素,不仅与法律规则和法律部门的划分理论相矛盾,而且与立法、执法和司法实践相冲突。法律后果中应包含奖励,有肯定性法律后果和否定性后果。规范适用的条件应是法律规范的逻辑构成要素。法律后果要素本身就是一个完整的法律规范,法律规范的逻辑结构只由规范适用的条件(或称为假定)和行为模式(或称为处理)构成。     

法律行为框架中的股东表决权制度探析

表决权在资本多数决的股东大会决议机制下分化为意思表达权和形成权两种性质各异的权利,其原因在于股东大会决议行为的特殊法律行为属性和特殊法律效力,在于股东表决的不同性质——意思通知和单方法律行为,并由此导致对一系列关乎股东表决权的制度的重新评价和审视,如表决权排除、类别股东表决、异议股东股份购买请求权以及资本多数决的决议机制等。     

论大学英语教学中交际能力的培养

一直以来,国内英语界将"英国英语"或者"美国英语"视为标准英语。这种观念也深深植根于大学英语教师之中,并由教师在课堂教学中灌输给了学生。在这种观念影响之下,大学教师及大学学生无一例外,都将"英国英语"或"美国英语"视为正统,低估甚至歧视各种英语变体的存在,"China English"就是一个例子。笔者认为,恰恰就是这种旧观念极大地影响了大学英语教学中学生交际能力的培养。英语实际上是一门国际语言,应当作为跨国及跨文化交流的共通语,随着越来越多的人开始认识并逐步接受这一新观念,大学英语教学对学生交际能力培养效率低下这一尴尬现状有了改观的可能。

集体行动发生的三种解释路径及其简评

运用比较法,对集体行动发生的原因从三个方面进行了探讨：一是社会心理学解释,强调集体心理、怨恨和剥夺感等心理因素;二是社会结构解释,重视阶级结构、社会变迁和国家控制能力等因素;三是理性选择解释,认为行动者的理性判断、制度和组织对集体行动的影响。     

徇私枉法罪行为构造研析

正确界定徇私枉法罪的客观行为对于司法实务中正确理解和把握该罪尤为重要。首先,关于“对明知是无罪的人而使他受追诉”,是指在没有或缺少事实和证据的基础上对无罪的人进行立案侦查、采取刑事强制措施、提起公诉以及进行审判等,以达到追究其刑事责任的目的。其次,关于“对明知是有罪的人而故意包庇不使他受追诉”,是指对“有证据证明有犯罪事实需要追究刑事责任的人,包括犯罪嫌疑人和被告人”,通过对犯罪的证据和事实施加直接影响以达到不使其受追诉这种枉法的目的。再次,除作为外,不作为可以构成徇私枉法罪。
