Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Ontario secondary teacher comfort with sexual violence prevention education(McGill University Library and Archives, 2025-12-10) Almanssori, SalsabelThis study inquires into teachers’ self-identified comfort in teaching about and preventing sexual violence. A Likert-scale survey was used to collect data from 105 secondary teachers from one public school board in Ontario. Findings suggest that participants tend to be more comfortable with teaching about consent and respectful relationships than gender-based and sexual violence, and more comfortable with intervening in more overt and culturally recognizable sexual violence incidents than those that are subtle. Participants overwhelmingly poorly rated the quality of sexual violence education received both pre-service and in-service. Level of comfort, job insecurity, and level of knowledge were all frequently rated as moderate to extreme barriers to teaching about sexual violence. Implications for sexual violence prevention education are discussed.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , The political economy of cryptocurrency in Latin America(Taylor & Francis, 2026-07-30) Rosales, AntulioThis paper explains the political economy of cryptocurrency expansion in Latin America. Based on qualitative research and in-depth interviews, the paper explains the motivations that promote cryptocurrency adoption and the growth of their ecosystems. Building on the cases of Venezuela, Argentina, El Salvador and Puerto Rico, it highlights the importance of bridging material, ideational and infrastructural conditions that facilitate the use of cryptocurrencies. The paper demonstrates that market volatility limits cryptocurrencies’ expansion to specific material conditions where their use can offset other negative structural conditions and where infrastructural deficiencies can be overcome by digital assets. While ideational dimensions of cryptocurrency support are important for some communities of users, ultimately, distortions and constraints in the economy, at the domestic and transnational levels are crucial for adoption.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Yvette MakerCare and Support Rights After Neoliberalism: Balancing Competing Claims Through Policy and Law.
