Defining a canon to achieve learning outcomes: Las Casas Apology as a case example

2023 , Gómez Ruiz, María José , Orejel Orejel, Lourdes Giannina , Montserrat Salomón Ferrer

The Humanities Institute of Universidad Panamericana, Guadalajara (Mexico), has carefully crafted its own reading canon by incorporating in to its course design a learning outcomes framework that mirrors its Christian institutional mission. The paper presents an overview of this framework and of its implementation within the University’s Gen Ed reading canon selection. It uses an excerpt of Bartolomé de las Casas’ Apology as a case example of the practice. This text is used within a course of introductory Ethics delivered to 30 different student groups per year. The criteria used in its selection and suggested practices are detailed. Overall, the text shows the value of a learning outcomes approach to text selection in a core-text-based course.

Two Sides of the Same Coin: Political Equality and Electoral Rights, a Study of Formal Qualifications on the Right to Candidacy

2023 , Gómez Ruiz, María José

In popular democratic conceptions, the right to candidacy and the right to vote are two sides of the same coin. Nonetheless, as the legislative analysis in this paper shows, their sets of right holders are not symmetrical in the ex-tant practice of otherwise paradigmatically democratic countries. This fact is problematic as democratic legitimacy is, first and foremost, predicated upon the formal equality of citizens. As such, this stark asymmetry between the two most fundamental electoral rights demands a sound normative account, one which has been seriously neglected by electoral scholars. After outlining what the most plausible account would look like, the paper argues that, all other things being equal, countries currently have no way to comply with it. It normatively follows that the qualification bars for candidacy, which formally demarcate its set of rightsholders, should be lowered and expanded to match those currently in place for the right to vote.
