[pt] Como se observa na história de Nova Friburgo-RJ, desde o tratado firmado entre Dom João VI e o empresário suíço Nicolau Gachet, em 1818, para a implantação da colônia, o caráter produtivo de alimentos para a metrópole do Rio de Janeiro estava prescrito. Porém, após a chegada dos primeiros imigrantes suíços em 1819, devido a problemas de adaptação cultural, econômicos e ambientais, os objetivos iniciais da colônia foram substituídos pela necessidade de sobrevivência dos colonos, o que favoreceu a miscigenação cultural entre os mesmos e lusos, e ainda, indígenas e afro-brasileiros, favorecendo a formação de uma agricultura de caráter policultural. No decorrer de seus quase dois séculos de existência, o município presenciou a produção de alimentos diversificados no chamado meio rural, quanto no seu centro urbano, onde, ainda encontram-se presentes cultivos com fins de parcial subsistência em quintais produtivos, mesmo que de modo pulverizado na paisagem friburguense. No presente trabalho serão rastreadas as características comuns entre os cultivos dos entrevistados, sendo quatro presentes no distrito-sede e dois em distritos rurais de Nova Friburgo, a fim de analisar sua relação com o processo histórico, documentado, de formação da agricultura policultural de subsistência no município. Todos os manejos possuem caráter biodiverso e policultural na produção de alimentos sem o uso do fogo com fins de fertilização de solo e nenhum tipo de agroquímico. Portanto, este trabalho visa investigar a relação destes espaços produtivos, com as práticas agrícolas historicamente evidenciadas no município, a fim de verificar a potencial existência de vínculo cultural entre os casos do passado e do presente. E é neste contexto entre o atual e o pretérito, o novo e o velho, o interno e o externo que se dá a presente pesquisa. / [en] As noted in the history of Nova Friburgo-RJ since it s creation through the treaty between Dom João VI and the Swiss businessman Nicholas Gachet in 1818 for the implementation of the colony, the food production regarding the supplying Rio de Janeiro city s demand was prescribed. However, after the arrival of the first Swiss immigrants in 1819, due to problems of cultural adaptation, economic and environmental, the initial objectives of the colony were replaced by the need for survival of the settlers, which favored the cultural miscegenation between them and Portuguese s, indigenous and afroamericans, favoring the formation of a polycultural character of agriculture. During nearly two centuries of existence, the city witnessed the production of diversified food types in the so-called rural areas and in its urban center, where there are still present crops with partial subsistence purposes in productive backyards, notwithstanding they are pulverized in Nova Friburgo s landscape. In this work we will seek to analise the common characteristics between the crops of the enquired people, four of those living in the urban district and two in rural districts of Nova Friburgo, in order to analyze its relationship with the documented historical process, of polycultural agriculture subsistence emergence in the city. All managements have biodiverse character and polycultural in food production without the use of fire for fertilizing the soil neither of agrochemicals. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the relationship of these productive areas, with agricultural practices historically evidenced in the municipality in order to verify the potential existence of a cultural link between the cases of the past and present. It is in this context between the present and the past, the new and the old, the internal and the external that the present research is proposed.

<p>Canadian social work education is founded on, and maintained by predominantly Eurocentric ideologies and discourse, which pose problems for social work educators and students because together they strive for social justice within a climate that perpetuates oppressive practices. Colonization is a core component of Education and Child Welfare therefore This research thesis asks how social work education can create an environment where learners receive the most accurate and helpful information to critically analyze their practice to reduce oppression. My question is narrowed down to focus on the practice of child protection as its aims are to protect children but at that same time has been implicated in the Canadian colonial project. Grounded Theory, social work course outlines and professor interviews were utilized to explore ways students are taught to reduce oppressive practices. Three social work courses that were inclusive of aspects of Aboriginal ideology were chosen for analysis and three of the professors that taught these courses were interviewed. The analysis of the course outlines and semi-structured interviews revealed social work education is a complex environment that not only requires a critical assessment of large social systems, but also a critical assessment of personal attitudes, values and beliefs. Further the study reinforces that an educational system reform is necessary if the missions of social work are to be accomplished. Social works academic space needs to be inclusive of diverse knowledges in order to break down discrimination and oppressive ideologies that inform mainstream practice.</p> / Master of Social Work (MSW)

In a field such as social work, where anti-oppressive practice is preached, it is expected that educators and the academy alike work to challenge xenophobic and Islamophobic discourse. However, this may not be the case. Using a Critical Social Science frameworks, this study explores the experience of Muslim women in social work education through a qualitative methodology. A focus group was conducted with current social work students and recent graduates to explore their experience in social work education. What emerged from the data are the signs of an academy that does not embody the values and ethics it purports to teach. Through a thematic analysis of the data, three main themes emerged: the tensions and challenges between and within social work education and Islamic knowledge and Muslim identity; the marginalization and erasure of Muslim women’s voices in social work education; and the ways that Muslim women students navigate these issues. The findings bring light to the challenges Muslim women face as a result of an academy that continuously tells them that they do not belong. Implications for theorists, educators, administrators and students are explored and recommendations are given regarding the importance of the inclusion of Muslim voices in the discourse, creating safe and inclusive spaces for Muslim students, and working collectively to address the tensions and challenges that Muslim women face in social work education. / Thesis / Master of Social Work (MSW)

This thesis deploys world-systems theory to analyze two series of mid-twentieth century wildcat strikes in the Appalachian coalfields: the Eastern Kentucky-based Roving Picket Movement of 1962-1963 and a separate set of unauthorized strikes throughout the region that lasted from 1974-1978, with a particular focus on the Gas Strike of 1974, the strikes surrounding the 1974 Kanawha Country book boycott, and the 1977-1978 contract strike. More specifically, I will examine the New Communist Movement's (NCM) role in these strikes, with special emphasis on the Maoist-inspired Progressive Labor (PL)'s participation in the 1962-1963 strikes and the role of the Miner's Right to Strike Committee (MRSC), a project of the Revolutionary Union/Revolutionary Communist Party in the 1970s wildcats. I argue that PL and the MRSC's divergent experiences demonstrate the shift from the first to the second anti-systemic movement. PL's experience working with the strikers was more typical of the first anti-systemic movement; the MRSC's experience was more typical of the second anti-systemic movement. The two sets of NCM organizers' varying levels of success, different approaches to the New Social Movements, and different interactions with structural forces at play in the world-system all point to the shift in anti-systemic movements. / Master of Arts
