“…Third, patterns of subgroup marginalization differ in other countries. In postcolonial contexts, systems of oppression may fall along ethnic lines (Anthias & Hoffmann, 2020). In European contexts, economic insecurity may be most concentrated among recent immigrants (Eugster, 2018).…”

Career and technical education (CTE) has become increasingly popular in U.S. secondary schools, but equity has not always been a focus of federal legislation or state and local policies and programs. This literature review of trends in CTE research between 1998 and 2019 uses a novel equity framework to examine whether and how secondary CTE programs affect educational equity. A total of 123 sources were reviewed. Findings revealed that CTE research most commonly addresses access and participation, measured by high school graduation rates and GPA. Few studies disaggregate outcome measures by student subgroups to better assess equity. Furthermore, a dearth of large-scale, comparative, and longitudinal research limits generalizability. Most extant research on secondary CTE programs in the United States examines a single state, district, or school. This article identifies promising policies and practices for enhancing equity in CTE conveyed by extant literature and recommends important directions for future research.

“…The active role of deities in the local political landscape, in fact, well preceded the arrival of the so-called modern political structures of post-Independence India. Their existing sovereignty and presence as governing authorities in a postcolonial context provides a crucial insight into a ‘more geographically sensitive and provincialised understanding of contemporary governmentalities’ (Anthias and Hoffman 2021: 223). With its local conceptions of territorial sovereignty and systems of governmentality the deity institution sets the stage for what Foucault refers to as ‘counter-conduct’ (Foucault 2007; Anthias and Hoffman 2021) when seen in juxtaposition to state governmentality.…”

The Land of Gods: Exploring Converging Agencies in the Deity Institution of Kullu, India

What does it mean to have a deity as a ruler in the contemporary Indian sociopolitical context? How does a divine entity act as a governing authority in modern society while retaining relevance and considerable influence within the everyday lives of its subjects? These are some questions that this article tries to pursue in an attempt to understand the multiple, interconnected channels through which the sovereignty of a deity is exercised and reinforced in the context of the Kullu district in the Indian Himalayas. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Kullu, this article argues that the agency of the deity operates through a network of actors individually invested in protecting the sovereignty of the deity and, by extension, the distributed nature of this sovereignty. The paper discusses how the deity’s sense of agency as an individual sovereign agent is an important factor within the cosmopolitical landscape of Kullu, where the deity institution acts as a form of local governance coexisting with the state.

“…Individual titles are often used as collateral on loans that farmers may struggle to pay back ( [30], see also Bateman, this issue), creating increased commercial pressure on land [31] and allowing for its commodification. Further, multiple critiques of the colonial and post-colonial legacies of property show that modern legal frameworks reinforce discrimination and facilitate the dispossession of Indigenous land by modifying the legal nature of entitlement, such as the spatial extent, alienability or conditionality [19,32,33]. As Nichols lays out, "to speak meaningfully of dispossession appears to presuppose a prior relation of possession" [34].…”

Time as the Enemy? Disjointed Timelines and Uneven Rhythms of Indigenous Collective Land Titling in Paraguay and Cambodia

Indigenous Land law reforms in Paraguay and Cambodia proposed collective land titling to secure land tenure through community ownership. When we look at land formalization through a temporal lens, we see the on-the-ground dynamics of how communal title may or may not be achieved by examining the ethnographic case studies of Guarani and Bunong land titling. We argue that the temporality of land titling processes creates disjointed, shifting timelines mediated by relationships of power and disrupted by fast-tracked private and state concessions. This uneven relationship between time and titling interrupts, undermines and fragments Indigenous land possession with serious ecological and livelihood impacts.
