Those in higher education stand on the cusp of an opportunity—an opportunity to fulfill the promise that higher education will provide access to liberty, freedom, resources, respect, ownership, and the ability to pursue happiness. The dominance of Eurocentric and Western knowledge, practices, beliefs, and perspectives in organizational leadership programs has yet to be disrupted. Consequently, many doctoral programs reinforce colonialism and White superiority instead of affirming and preparing students to work in a diverse and pluralistic society. This chapter presents some practical ways structural racism in higher education can be interrupted through a program overhaul and redesign to center justice and equity in all aspects of the program.

The problem of multiculturalism is the problem of our civilization. Indonesia with all its differences and cultural richness is one of the countries that has the potential for horizontal conflict. The efforts to unite and maintain unity must be three steps ahead of the threat of disintegration. The disruption era that is completely unpredictable and hoaxes and hate speech on social media makes it difficult to maintain security and maintain a conducive, harmonious and peaceful situation. Hostile with the others is not tradition of Nusantara people. Our tradition is a dialogue as well as strengthening the harmony of every difference. In this case, the Prophet Muhammad and the Walisongo have set a good example of living side by side with different communities. This article will discuss the strategies of the Walisongo in dialogue between religion and culture, as well as the strategy of the Prophet Mohammed in managing differences and building harmony in a pluralistic society. The results of the study conclude that to build a nation that is baldatun thayyibah wa Rabbun ghafur, it is necessary to have a society that is not only saleh ritual, but also saleh sosial and saleh kultural.

Political theorists have long argued that enlarging the political sphere to include a greater diversity of interests would cure the ills of factions in a pluralistic society. While the scope of politics has expanded dramatically over the past 75 y, polarization is markedly worse. Motivated by this paradox, we take a bottom–up approach to explore how partisan individual-level dynamics in a diverse (multidimensional) issue space can shape collective-level factionalization via an emergent dimensionality reduction. We extend a model of cultural evolution grounded in evolutionary game theory, in which individuals accumulate benefits through pairwise interactions and imitate (or learn) the strategies of successful others. The degree of partisanship determines the likelihood of learning from individuals of the opposite party. This approach captures the coupling between individual behavior, partisan-mediated opinion dynamics, and an interaction network that changes endogenously according to the evolving interests of individuals. We find that while expanding the diversity of interests can indeed improve both individual and collective outcomes, increasingly high partisan bias promotes a reduction in issue dimensionality via party-based assortment that leads to increasing polarization. When party bias becomes extreme, it also boosts interindividual cooperation, thereby further entrenching extreme polarization and creating a tug-of-war between individual cooperation and societal cohesion. These dangers of extreme partisanship are highest when individuals’ interests and opinions are heavily shaped by peers and there is little independent exploration. Overall, our findings highlight the urgency to study polarization in a coupled, multilevel context.

The choice of a unitary state based on Article 1 Section 1 of the 1945 Constitution theoretically always relates to the factor of equality within the state. However, the choice of the Republic of Indonesia as a unitary state is based on the consideration of the pluralism aspects in terms of culture, language, customs, and ethnicity, which brings consequences for the recognition of applicable legal pluralism (Article 18B Section 2 of the 1945 Constitution). This study examines legal pluralism in a unitary state based on the prismatic theory approach to find out its legal recognition model. This study aims at finding an ideal legal pluralism recognition model in a unitary state which has tended to be centralized, such as the implementation of the Basic Agrarian Law that ignores the customary laws. The results of the legal prismatic theory approach are expected to able to fulfill justice in a pluralistic society. In this study, the researcher employed a normative juridical method through a political-law approach to various laws and regulations. Furthermore, the researcher also used a qualitative analysis. The results of this study showed as follows. (1) Politics of law as a guideline for legal development is inconsistent with Pancasila and legal systems that accommodate legal pluralism. As a result, customary law must comply with national law, which indicates the recognition of weak legal pluralism. (2) The recognition model of national legal pluralism through the prismatic theory approach by considering the plurality of the prevailing legal order may create certainty and benefit on the value of justice in society according to national ideology and Pancasila as the soul of the nation. The recommendations of this study are as follows. (1) Legal development should use the recognition model of national legal pluralism through the prismatic theory approach so that certainty and benefit on the value of justice in society can be established according to national ideology and Pancasila as the soul of the nation. (2) The prismatic theory approach can be an alternative solution to the recognition model of legal pluralism in realizing Indonesian national law based on Pancasila as the ideology and spirit of the nation.

A key challenge for educational provision in the Republic of Ireland has been the need to develop appropriate approaches to religious education that are effective in terms of meeting the needs and rights of students in a democratic pluralistic society. At the centre of such discussions, although rarely explicitly recognised, is an attempt to grapple with the question of truth in the context of religious education. This paper argues that religious education, in attempting to engage with this evolving context, is challenged in two trajectories: (a) by approaches that operate from the presumption that objective truth exists and (b) by approaches that are sceptical of any claim to objective truth. It will be argued that proposals, such as those offered by active pluralists, to deal with religious truth claims in religious education are limited in terms of their capacity to adequately treat such claims and the demands that these carry for adherents. This paper argues for a hermeneutical treatment of the context for Catholic religious education in the Republic of Ireland, which is considered under the following headings: (1) irruptions from the periphery, (2) the theological matrix, (3) the status of religion, and (4) the position of students and teachers in religious education classes. From this it will be suggested that promoting religious education as a hermeneutic activity allows for a respectful engagement with competing truth claims.

Bangsa Indonesia ditakdirkan sebagal sebuah bangsa dengan corak masyarakat yang plural (pluralistic society). Pluralltas masyarakat Indonesia ditandal dengan cirl yang berslfat horisontal dan vertlkal. Cirl horisontal terllhat pada kenyataan adanya kesatuan-kesatuan soslal yang, berd.asarkan perbedaanperbedaan suku bangsa, agama, adatserta kedaerahan. Kemajemukan inidisebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, seperti keadaan geografis, dimana wilayah Indonesia yang terbagi menjadi 13.767 pulau merupakan faktor yang sangat besar pengaruhnya kepada terciptanya pluralistik suku bangsa Indonesia. Penerapan nilai-nilai Pancasila dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat sangatlah baik, dan penerapannya bagus, dikarenakan Sila-sila Pancasila sebagai sistem fulsafat pada hakikatnya merupakan suatu kesatuan organik. Antara sila-sila Pancasila itu saling berhubungan, berkaitan, dan mengkualifikasi. Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa Pancasila. pada hakikatnya merupakan.suatu sistem, dalam pengertian bagian-bagian atau sila- silanya saling berhubungan seearaerat, sehingga membentuk suatu struktur·yang menyelurub. Kesatuan sila-8ila Pancasila merupakan kesatuan yang memiliki hubungan yang bertingkat dan berbentuk piramidal (kesatuan .yang bersifat hierarkhis dan berbentuk piramidal), dan sebagai konsekuensinya merupakan kesatuanyang saling mengkualifikasi.

Abstract This article demonstrates that Lutheran teaching on the two regiments can be drawn in different directions and how it was drawn in a particular direction for centuries so that it could provide a theoretical framework for mono-confessional Lutheran societies. It argues that the Lutheran two regiments theory can be developed along a different path, regaining some emphases in Luther’s early reflections: it can thereby contribute to an improved understanding of the role not only of the church but also of the state. While a number of Lutheran theologians believe that Lutheran teaching on the two regiments is particularly difficult to apply today, with some even contending that it should simply be abandoned, this article argues that Lutheran teaching on the two regiments could present a potential for a relevant understanding of the relationship between church, state, and society, and its ethical implications in a contemporary pluralistic society.

This study explain the application of sharia transactions in a pluralistic society to find out the understanding and interest of the community become a customer of a village bank based on sharia principles. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with secondary and primary data. Supporting data collection was carried out by field studies through interviews, observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the contract on BUMDes transactions is not in accordance with the Fatwa of the MUI and SAK Syariah DSN, so the researchers provide results in the form of a sharia contract implementation model in accordance with the various types of financing products applied by village banks to BUMDes Pengalangan Sejahtera. In general, the non-conformity of SAK Syariah lies in the preparation of BUMDes financial statements where there is no difference between recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. Meanwhile, according to the MUI DSN Fatwa, the non-conformity lies in several applicable provisions.</span></p></div></div></div>

AbstractThrough the analysis of faunal remains from refuse features associated with the Native Californian living quarters at Mission Santa Clara de Asìs, the article examines Indigenous diet within this colonial mission settlement. In Alta California, Native Californians from differing sociolinguistic groups were relocated to Spanish missions, creating an ever shifting pluralistic society. Within these mission settlements, Native Californians were tasked with maintaining the vast agricultural fields for which they received ingredients for two Spanish-style meals, atole and pozole. This study examines the diet of Native Californian families living within Mission Santa Clara, specifically focusing on the breakage patterns of cattle bones and the communal preparation, cooking, and consumption of these daily meals. These results illustrate change and continuity of foodway practices, expanding our understanding of mission political economies and Native Californian persistence within this colonial system.

Reality of pluralism in the contexs of Indonesia on the one hand, is a challenge towards the implementation of Christian Religious Education. However, on the other hand, Christian Religious Education is becoming very essential for Christians to demonstrate the love of God in the midst of society. Christians are always in touch with adherents of other religions, even that kind of relation feels so strong in various areas of life. This problem triggers how the idea of implementing the Christian Education is relevant in the pluralistic context in Indonesia. This study was analyzed using qualitative research methods through library research techniques. Findings showed that, in the pluralistic context, the implementation of Christian Religious Education in Indonesia as an integral part of the mission can be carried out through three aspects, namely: revitalizing the thinking paradigm about pluralism; interpreting the implementation strategy of Christian Religious Education in a pluralistic society; and mainstreaming and buliding the vision and mission of multicultural based Christian Religious Education.
