ABSTRACT Access to improved toilets can enhance physical and mental security among women. Therefore, it becomes critical to incorporate and understand their decisions on household toilet construction. Using survey data from 2528 households across urban slums, peri-urban and rural areas from the state of Bihar in India, we study two particularly relevant aspects surrounding women's decision making in sanitation. First, we examine if exclusive usage of toilets is systematically higher when the decision of its construction is taken solely by a woman. Secondly, we assess the potential household-level factors associated with women-led decision making. The findings, after accounting for the unobserved heterogeneity surrounding the selection of households with toilets, indicate a statistically insignificant increase in the likelihood of its exclusive usage in households where decision of its construction had been solely led by women. When we look at the settlement types individually, this relationship is found to be significant in the peri-urban areas. Additionally, among households with toilets, poorer women are more likely to take sole decisions about its construction. This, we argue is potentially because of sanitation interventions over the years that have been relatively successful in motivating poor women to influence toilet construction.
使用改进的厕所可以提高妇女的身心安全。因此,纳入并理解他们关于家庭厕所建设的决定变得至关重要。利用来自印度比哈尔邦城市贫民窟、城郊和农村地区2528户家庭的调查数据,我们研究了围绕妇女在卫生方面的决策的两个特别相关的方面。首先,我们研究了当厕所的建造完全由女性决定时,厕所的专用性是否会系统性地更高。其次,我们评估了与妇女主导决策相关的潜在家庭层面因素。在考虑到围绕选择有厕所的家庭的未观察到的异质性后,研究结果表明,在完全由女性主导建造厕所的家庭中,厕所专用的可能性在统计上略有增加。当我们单独观察定居点类型时,发现这种关系在城市周边地区非常重要。此外,在有厕所的家庭中,贫穷的女性更有可能对厕所的建设做出唯一决定。我们认为,这可能是因为多年来的卫生干预措施在激励贫困妇女影响厕所建设方面相对成功。

ABSTRACT The capabilities approach and participatory research are effective means to promote epistemic justice in higher education. Both have important roles, given the current commoditisation of University knowledge and professional practice, which do not promote inclusive epistemes that take into account the social problems of disadvantaged groups. Facilitating educational experiences that generate epistemological breaks and promote epistemic justice is a necessary task. Contributing to it was one purpose of the teaching innovation project carried out by the University of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain). The project aimed to stimulate collective reflection and dialogic encounters between complementary knowledge fields. It had three focal points: developing capabilities in students; fomenting participation and collective reflection in the community; heightening the visibility of people living in disadvantaged areas and conveying these realities, and people’s knowledge and concerns, to policymakers. The results show that co-production of knowledge by universities and local communities favours learning and practical reasoning; increases recognition and respect for diversity; foments participation and the environment necessary for citizens to exercise their political capabilities. This paper presents only the project’s first focal point; specifically, it shows how horizontal knowledge production using Photovoice can enhance in students certain capabilities of great relevance in their future profession.
能力方法和参与式研究是促进高等教育认识公正的有效手段。鉴于当前大学知识和专业实践的商品化,两者都发挥着重要作用,而这些知识和实践并不能促进考虑弱势群体社会问题的包容性认识。促进产生认识论突破和促进认识正义的教育体验是一项必要的任务。Jaén大学(西班牙安达卢西亚)开展的教学创新项目的目的之一就是为之做出贡献。该项目旨在激发互补知识领域之间的集体反思和对话。它有三个重点:培养学生的能力;促进社区的参与和集体反思;提高生活在贫困地区的人们的知名度,并向决策者传达这些现实以及人们的知识和关切。研究结果表明,大学和当地社区共同生产知识有利于学习和实践推理;加强对多样性的承认和尊重;促进公民行使政治能力所必需的参与和环境。本文仅介绍了该项目的第一个焦点;具体来说,它展示了使用Photovoice进行横向知识生产如何提高学生在未来职业中的某些重要能力。

Leaving no Country Behind: A Fuzzy Approach for Human Development 不让任何国家掉队:人类发展的模糊方法

ABSTRACT “Leaving no one behind” (LNOB) constitutes one of the core principles underpinning the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We propose a complementary fuzzy logic approach to identify countries left behind in human development and each of its dimensions. We find that the countries left furthest behind at the beginning of the century were those that most reduced gaps with respect to better performing countries after two decades. Nevertheless, we cannot clearly speak of convergence in human development. There are notable exceptions, such as the Central African Republic, Liberia, Yemen, Haiti or Venezuela, which despite the improvement in their Human Development Index worryingly increased their gaps in human development dimensions relative to the rest of the world. Our analysis highlights significant advantages of using the proposed fuzzy-based LNOB approach to incorporate the moral imperative of leaving no country behind in the measurement of human development.
摘要“不让任何人掉队”是《2030年可持续发展议程》的核心原则之一。我们提出了一种互补的模糊逻辑方法来识别在人类发展及其各个方面落后的国家。我们发现,在本世纪初落后最远的国家是那些在20年后与表现更好的国家差距最大的国家。然而,我们不能清楚地谈论人类发展的趋同。也有明显的例外,如中非共和国、利比里亚、也门、海地或委内瑞拉,尽管它们的人类发展指数有所改善,但令人担忧的是,它们在人类发展方面与世界其他地区的差距却越来越大。我们的分析强调了使用所提出的基于模糊的LNOB方法的显著优势,该方法将不让任何国家掉队的道德义务纳入人类发展的衡量中。

ABSTRACT This article considers how useful measurement and indicators are in developing insight into a problem as complex as gender injustice and education. It poses the question about what we ought to evaluate with regard to individuals, institutions, discourses and countries when we make assertions about gender inequality in education and how to address this. The paper provides a way of thinking about gender and education that highlights how inadequate existing measures are. It sets an agenda for future work outlining the AGEE (Accountability for Gender Equality and Education) Framework. This draws on the capability approach and identifies domains where indicators can be deployed. The discussion highlights how multiple sources of information can be used in a well-organised yet adaptable combination, taking account of the complexity of the processes in play, to develop guidance on practice for transformational and sustainable change that can support work on women’s rights and gender equality in education.
本文考虑了测量和指标在深入了解像性别不公正和教育这样复杂的问题方面是多么有用。它提出了一个问题:当我们断言教育中的性别不平等时,我们应该对个人、机构、话语和国家进行什么评估,以及如何解决这个问题。本文提供了一种思考性别和教育的方式,强调了现有措施的不足之处。它为今后的工作制定了议程,概述了性别平等和教育问责框架。这借鉴了能力方法,并确定了可以部署指标的领域。讨论强调了如何在考虑到过程的复杂性的情况下,组织良好且适应性强的组合中使用多种信息来源,以制定可支持妇女权利和教育中的性别平等工作的转型和可持续变革的实践指南。

ABSTRACT Juxtaposed against literature that views mothers’ role for their daughters’ education as a human capital this paper reimagines their role by foregrounding Pakistani mothers’ agency in contexts with limited opportunities. This is achieved by theorising negative capability (NC) as an analytical framework drawing on available theorisations of the concept and define it as an agentive passive refusal to be intellectually paralysed by disadvantage. We demonstrate how the concept can be applied for empirical analysis. The paper takes an ethical stance that researchers should acknowledge that regardless of contextual difficulties people’s agentive and intellectual faculties remain intact. Structural inequalities need to be challenged but their agentive potential also recognised. With a firm commitment that opportunities need to be made equal this paper builds on the second point to argue that even in the face of extreme disadvantage mothers’ intellectual capacities to progress towards goals remain functional. We challenge the objectification of the marginalised and propose an analytical approach to understand difficulties faced as well as agency exercised by mothers facing socio-economic constraints. This work has implications for the capability approach that falls short of addressing issues of power, and policy that fails to understand the context.
摘要针对将母亲在女儿教育中的角色视为人力资本的文献,本文通过突出巴基斯坦母亲在机会有限的背景下的能动性,重新构想了母亲的角色。这是通过将消极能力(NC)理论化为一个分析框架来实现的,该框架借鉴了该概念的现有理论,并将其定义为一种拒绝因劣势而智力瘫痪的能动被动拒绝。我们展示了如何将这一概念应用于实证分析。这篇论文采取了一种伦理立场,研究人员应该承认,无论上下文困难如何,人们的代理能力和智力都保持不变。结构性不平等需要受到挑战,但其能动性潜力也得到了承认。在坚定承诺机会必须平等的基础上,本文以第二点为基础,认为即使在极端不利的情况下,母亲实现目标的智力能力仍然有效。我们对边缘化人群的客观化提出了质疑,并提出了一种分析方法来理解面临社会经济约束的母亲所面临的困难以及所行使的代理权。这项工作对未能解决权力问题的能力方法和未能理解背景的政策有影响。

vulnerable women. There is another aspect of inequality, however, which does not receive as much attention in the book as it deserves. It is the inequality between the rich and the poor. Even if it is assumed that the rich and the poor are equally endowed with innate artistic talents, it does not follow that the institutions and incentives that promote arts in general will enable the poor to benefit as much as the rich. Kabanda seems confident that if the opportunity for using arts as a saleable commodity is created, even the poorest children with musical talents will find a way out of poverty in their adult lives. His own personal life is a glowing testimony to this possibility. The problem, however, lies in generalising from the life of one person or of a few. Lessons from experience from around the world shows that in the context of many different services – such as access to healthcare, education and finance – generalised institutions and incentives do not always help the poor as the rich tend to corner most of the benefits. For the poor to benefit from them, such services need to be specially designed so that the poor can overcome the specific disadvantages they face vis-à-vis the rich in accessing them. There is no reason to suppose that access to arts will be an exception to this pattern. The challenge, therefore, lies not just in creating institutions for popularising arts as a generalised instrument for development, but also in designing the institutions in such a way that the poor can benefit from them at least as much as the rich. This book goes a long way towards enlightening us on the first part of the challenge; the second part needs more attention.
脆弱的女人。然而,不平等还有另一个方面,在这本书中没有得到应有的关注。是贫富之间的不平等。即使假设富人和穷人都具有同样的天生艺术天赋,也不能由此得出,促进艺术发展的制度和激励措施一般会使穷人和富人一样受益。卡班达似乎很有信心,如果创造了将艺术作为一种可销售商品的机会,即使是最贫穷的有音乐天赋的孩子也会在成年后找到摆脱贫困的方法。他自己的个人生活就是这种可能性的生动证明。然而,问题在于从一个人或几个人的生活中进行概括。世界各地的经验教训表明,在许多不同的服务——例如获得医疗保健、教育和金融——的背景下,普遍的制度和激励措施并不总能帮助穷人,因为富人往往攫取了大部分利益。为了使穷人受益,必须特别设计这种服务,使穷人能够克服他们在获得这些服务方面与-à-vis富人相比所面临的具体不利条件。没有理由认为接触艺术会是这种模式的例外。因此,我们面临的挑战不仅在于建立将艺术作为一种普遍的发展工具来普及的制度,还在于如何设计这些制度,使穷人至少能像富人一样从中受益。这本书在很大程度上启发了我们应对挑战的第一部分;第二部分需要更多的关注。

beauty, its baseness and nobility, its boredom and excitement, its devastation and creativity” (281). Reflecting on my own (limited) experience of war, drawn from analysing contemporary civil wars, particularly in Africa, and following recent wars in Libya, Syria and Ukraine so graphically presented to us through television reporting, I find plenty of horror. But where is the beauty? Plenty of baseness, and perhaps some nobility; certainly, boredom and excitement and massive devastation – and undoubtedly some creativity emerging in poetry, plays and novels, as well as music, from more distant wars. Yet while there are positives, for me, they in no way balance the negatives. How does war fit into the capability approach? It is there, of course, in terms of its (largely negative) impact on human capabilities. But what does the approach have to say about individuals who choose to use their capabilities to oppress, fight and kill? Are these capabilities people “have reason to value”? Most of us adopting the capability approach would say they were not. But those who attack – not in self-defence, but because they wish to dominate – appear to believe they do have reason to value these activities. Can we rule them out, nonetheless, because they damage the capabilities of others? If so, we need to apply the same restriction to all capabilities – my building a house may restrict your view, negatively affecting your capabilities. Many capabilities have similar external effects. Or should we follow the “perfectionist” approach, as suggested by Khader and Kosko in 2019, predetermining some high-level capabilities necessary for a flourishing life and rejecting those that run counter as lacking a “reason to value”? This is one of many avenues for future work suggested by MacMillan’s excellent, provocative book.
美,它的卑贱和高贵,它的无聊和兴奋,它的破坏和创造力”(281)。回顾我自己(有限的)战争经历,我从分析当代内战(尤其是非洲内战),以及最近在利比亚、叙利亚和乌克兰的战争中通过电视报道生动地呈现在我们面前,我发现了很多恐怖。但是美在哪里呢?大量的卑贱,也许还有一些高贵;当然,无聊、兴奋和巨大的破坏——毫无疑问,一些创造力出现在诗歌、戏剧、小说和音乐中,来自更遥远的战争。然而,虽然有积极的一面,但对我来说,它们无法平衡消极的一面。战争如何适应能力方法?当然,就其对人类能力的(主要是负面的)影响而言,它是存在的。但是,对于那些选择利用自己的能力进行压迫、战斗和杀戮的个人,这种方法有什么要说的呢?人们“有理由重视”这些能力吗?我们大多数采用能力方法的人会说他们不是。但是那些攻击的人——不是出于自卫,而是因为他们想要主宰——似乎相信他们有理由重视这些活动。然而,我们能因为它们损害了他人的能力就把它们排除在外吗?如果是这样,我们需要对所有的能力施加同样的限制——我建房子可能会限制你的视野,对你的能力产生负面影响。许多功能具有类似的外部效果。或者我们应该遵循“完美主义”的方法,就像卡德尔和科斯科在2019年建议的那样,预先确定一些繁荣生活所必需的高级能力,并拒绝那些与之相反的能力,因为缺乏“价值的理由”?这是麦克米伦这本极具煽动性的书为未来工作提出的众多途径之一。
