“…We need more robust and varied accounts of how dis/ability affects access to and forms of democratic engagement. 30 Although this issue examines how two different religious affiliations intersect with gender and political identity, we need to think more carefully about how a range of faith practices, including atheism and agnosticism, shape political agency and representation. We need to continue the work of recovering and preserving the stories of political ingenuity and struggle authored by those excluded from democratic practice, and we need innovative research methodologies to discover and reveal those voices.…”

The centennial of (white) woman suffrage: Gender and democratic engagement at the intersections

The centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment offers an opportunity to write a new story about women's democratic engagement. The goal of this issue is to honor women's democratic labor while disturbing the generic features of the typical suffrage story, considering, in particular, how suffrage and citizenship have affected and been engaged by women with diverse identities situated at various intersections. In the pages that follow, leading experts and new voices trouble temporalities, extend the cast of protagonists, and reconsider objectives, creating an expansive, contradictory, and intentionally untidy narrative.

“…This is an especially important issue because representation of people with disabilities in the mass media has lagged behind that of other minorities (Ahmad, 2010). These individuals are frequently constructed in mainstream discourse as not only deviant but as a burden to society (Beasley, 2020).…”

Attention to Problematic Social Group Representation in Guidance for Using Mass Media in English Education

While media studies amply document problematic social group representation in mass media materials, how English language educators are equipped to address these issues when they engage in the common practice of appropriating such artifacts for teaching is unclear. This research responds by collecting 319 prominent Internet sources providing guidance on using mass media materials for language learning and subjecting them to a content analysis. This analysis draws upon ten forms of problematic social group portrayal in the mass media as a conceptual lens. Analysis results indicate little attention to ableism, ageism, Christonormativity, classism, colorism, gender bias, heternormativity, lookism/sizeism, racism, and urbanormativity with articles universally acclaiming the integration of mass media materials into language teaching, primarily on the grounds of “authenticity.” Defined as materials authored by and for native speakers, this is an authenticity insensitive to authentic social group representation. This research is significant because of teacher reliance on the Internet as a source of materials, because of the global reach of English language teaching, the power of mass media, especially for youth socialization, and because there is a lack of previous research concerning how language teachers are trained to consider problematic social group representation in mass media artifacts.

Inclusion and Belonging in Cities of Tomorrow

Fifteen percent of the global population has a disability, which will only increase with aging demographic trends. The elderly population is expected to rise to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. Half of the world’s population already live in cities and cities will play an increasingly crucial role in promoting inclusion and addressing the needs of a rapidly changing demographic. As technology advances and assistive technologies are developed, disability will become increasingly common and cities must be transformed to be inclusive of everyone. The Capability Model argues that disability is not the attribute of the individual; instead, it is created by barriers that exist in the social environment and therefore requires social change. When barriers exist, inclusive communities work to transform the way they are organized to meet the needs of all people by mobilizing social, political, and economic factors to identify and eliminate participation barriers. Radical inclusion is a framework aimed at eliminating the barriers that hinder individuals and communities from reaching their full potential. It goes beyond full participation to create inclusive systems that promote equity and resilience. Inclusive communities aim to remove barriers that perpetuate poverty, inequality, disempowerment, isolation, and exclusion.
