Mary I. Ingraham, Joseph K. So, and Roy Moodley, eds. 2016. Opera in a Multicultural World: Coloniality, Culture, Performance. New York: Routledge by Jane Forner

“…The fundamental premise of the volume is enmeshed with the fraught position of multiculturalism in today’s global political landscape: there is a great deal at stake in a concept that fundamentally deals with competing notions of how to co-exist within increasingly diverse societies. Philosophical, historical, and sociological understandings of approaches to society which are often rooted in colonial history are hotly contested in the public media and political spheres as much as within academic walls. …”

Should the United States Sign Off on Presumed Consent? by Sebastian Agredo

“…What presumed consent could provide, however, is a framework for expanding the availability of potential donors.[11] With a national survey finding a disparity between the number of Americans willing to donate organs and the number who are currently registered as donors,[12] the discussion concerning the adoption of presumed consent takes on a more significant role and scholars have urged for this change.[13],[14],[15] In the United States, the donation rate is 26.1 pmp,[16],[17] placing it fourth worldwide.9 Yet, the waiting list for organ transplants has exceeded 122,000 and is anticipated to grow roughly 10 percent each year, which results in thousands of people dying while waiting for an organ.[18]This is all despite the fact that more than 28,000 transplants are performed each year in the United States, more than any other country.16 These facts are what drive the debate in the direction of presumed consent, for if the country is to save as many people as possible who are currently waiting on the transplant list, then legislators believe that presumed consent holds the key to reforming the decades-old “opt-in,” explicit consent model. Philosophical Arguments Promoters shape their arguments around the need to fundamentally change the American assumption that “absent specific notification to the contrary, decedents are best protected if we act as though they had autonomously willed that their organs not be donated for transplantation.”14 This is precisely the principle governing explicit consent for organ donation, in which a person during their lifetime, or a family member after their death, must clearly express the will to donate the organs. …”
