Where there is widespread agreement is that there is currently a lack of civil discourse around political, scientific, social, and religious ideas in our country. The level of vitriol has grown, and name-calling is the norm in the public space, whether real or virtual. College campuses are not immune to the political climate and tone of the country. Concerns about free expression and responses to unpopular ideas at universities point to the larger failure to develop the skills of civil discourse in our students and citizens. The inability to engage in civil discourse is a dangerous threat to advancing knowledge and for assuring a robust deliberative democracy. Colleges and universities should be places where controversial ideas, even noxious ideas, can expressed and challenged, and students need to be p...

This means that society needs to stop treating food choices as merely private ones and not open to democratic governance. We need to stop acting as passive consumers assuming that the system puts out safe, culturally appropriate, and quality products with proper protections for actors in the system and the environment. Instead, we should take responsibility to understand and control the food system through the democratic process and our consumer habits to ensure that the food system is just, supports environmental integrity, is humane to animals, and provides nutritious and delicious food for society.

In an attempt to increase the number of organ donations, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in its 1997 and 2000 reports and United States Department of Health and Human Services, recommended the promotion of programs for Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD). DCD involves the withdrawal of life support from the patient/donor. After cardiac arrest the patient is declared dead and in 2 to 5 minutes the surgeons begin to remove the organs for transplantation. In this paper, we explore the question whether the protocols for DCD violate states' criminal homicide statutes since the patient is not dead at the time of procurement. After investigating of the homicide rules, the Uniform Determination of Death Act, and the protocols for DCD, we conclude by arguing that the DCD likely violates criminal homicide rules.

They occur in different societal sectors and traverse multiple scales, from the constrained choices of the industrialized food system to legal and corporate structures that replicate entrenched racial and gender inequalities, to cultural expectations around food preparation and consumption. Such injustices further harm already dis- advantaged groups, especially women and racial minorities, while also exacerbating environmental deterioration. This article consists of five sections that employ complementary approaches in the humanities, design studies, and science and technology studies. The authors explore cases that rep- resent structural injustices in the current American food system, including: the racialized and gen- dered effects of food systems and cultures on both men and women; the misguided and de-territo- rialized global branding of the Mediterranean Diet as a universal ideal; the role of food safety reg- ulations around microbes in reinforcing racialized food injustices; and the benefits of considering the American food system and all of its parts as designed artifacts that can be redesigned. The article concludes by discussing how achieving food justice can simultaneously promote sustainable food production and consumption practices—A process that, like the article itself, invites scholars and practitioners to actively design our food system in ways that empower different stakeholders and emphasize the importance of collaboration and interconnection.
