Multi-layered encounters between Reclaim the City and the Cape Town municipality

ABSTRACT Processes of gentrification challenge the right to adequate housing in Cape Town. Citizens cannot afford the rising cost of living, and once again the most vulnerable groups in society are affected by evictions. The social movement Reclaim the City (RTC) emerged in 2017 to demand social and affordable housing in the inner circle of Cape Town. RTC is supported by the non-governmental organization Ndifuna Ukwazi. Using an actor-centred approach, the article analyses interactions between RTC and the municipality. By focusing on multi-layered encounters, it unpacks the complexity and ambivalence of these relations between resistance and cooperation. While approaches from social movement studies are used to show the complexity of the relationship between a movement and the state, the article highlights the role of learning processes and political subjectivation among RTC activists in creating encounters to interact with the municipality.

Factors to Improve School Management and Social Science Student Learning Outcomes Through Cooperation with Parents

The curriculum expects parental involvement in their children's education. Actively involving parents in the learning process can improve student learning outcomes. But the fact is that many schools do not involve parents because of social gaps. It is urgent to study the gap between the expectation that parents are involved in schools and the fact that many schools do not involve parents. This study aims to determine the background of the parents studied and to provide a descriptive analysis of the school's cooperation with parents in stimulating them to be involved in their children's education. The research sample consisted of 285 parents of junior high school social studies students who were selected randomly. The study used quantitative data, collected through a questionnaire that was compiled and developed based on indicators. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics with the help of SPSS version 25.0 by calculating the mean, percentage, and standard deviation for each indicator and interpreting them. The results found a significant relationship between school and parent collaboration in improving their children's education. The more the parents feel that their presence is appreciated by the school, the greater their involvement in their children's education. The conclusion reached was that a sound relationship established by the school can encourage parents to be directly involved in various educational activities and important activities organized by the school.

The Relevancy of Religious Literacy in Social Studies Curricula: Quebec’s CCQ as a Case Study

This article explores Quebec’s recent transition from the “Ethics and Religious Culture” (ERC) program to the “Culture and Citizenship in Quebec” (CCQ) program, emphasizing the role of religious literacy in secular societies. We investigate the rationale behind the shift, and examine the ERC’s focus on fostering understanding of diverse religious and ethical perspectives as well as CCQ’s broader mandate to integrate cultural and civic education and its aim at the development of a shared and common public Quebecois culture. The case study highlights the pedagogical and societal implications of this change, discussing how the CCQ program aims to enhance civic engagement, cultural awareness, and social cohesion. Furthermore, the article identifies opportunities for educators to address pressing global challenges, such as polarization, reconciliation, and the climate crisis, within the new curriculum framework. By promoting critical thinking, inclusivity, and active citizenship, fostering religious literacy in such programs presents a unique opportunity for educators and youth to contribute to a more resilient and harmonious society.

BUILDING HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL AWARENESS THROUGH SOCIAL STUDIES LEARNING BASED ON CULTURAL EXHIBITION PROJECTS

Abstract The aim of this study is to enhance the historical and cultural awareness of students in the Social Studies Education program by creatively incorporating local wisdom values through a cultural exhibition project. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, which involved observation, interviews, and documentation of Social Studies Education students at IPI Garut.

Challenging Identity Conflict: How Queer, Trans, and Nonbinary Muslim Organizations Incite Activism

Abstract This article synthesizes new directions taken in the sociology of religion and social movement studies and examines Queer, Trans, and Nonbinary (QTN) Muslim activism in Toronto, Canada. The author argues that Queer Trans and Nonbinary Muslim Organizations (QTNMOs) do more than help reconcile their members’ conflicting identities. Instead, QTNMOs use intersectional frameworks to help QTN Muslims resist intracommunity marginalization in mainstream queer and religious organizations. Findings show that QTNMOs can be considered Social Movement Organizations in three ways: these groups defy culturally embedded institutional norms that are harmful to QTN Muslims, they aim to foster oppositional consciousness, and they incite collective action from their constituents. The article provides a case study of multi-institutional LGBTQ religious activism. The intersectional perspectives of QTN Muslims allow interested sociology of religion and social movements scholars to strengthen the insights gained from each of these fields.

A conceptual typology of energy citizenship

Energy citizenship is viewed as playing an essential role in the transition towards sustainable energy systems on a national and global scale. However, as a social science concept it is rather fuzzy and insufficiently elaborated. This paper proposes a conceptual typology of energy citizenship that aims for a balance between various competing understandings, in full awareness of ontological and disciplinary differences. The identification of conceptual dimensions and categories for the typology is based on a thorough literature research in the fields of energy social sciences and political sciences, resulting in the formulation of ten ideal types. In a next step, the conceptual typology was empirically tested and substantiated by mapping 596 cases of energy citizenship across Europe. This article presents the conceptual background of the typology and describes the ten ideal-types, highlighting conceptual characteristics, and illustrating them with salient examples. The conceptual typology captures the breadth of energy citizenship, encompassing both existing and possible types. It can be used by practitioners in the design of initiatives and/or policies acknowledging the various possible contributions of energy citizenship to a more sustainable, just and democratic energy system, and in social science studies on transformative social innovations, (dis)empowerment and “knowings of governance”.
