Schugurensky stresses participative democracy in Sonora talk<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a November seminar organized by Sonora College\u2019s Center for Government Studies and Public Affairs, ASU School of Public Affairs Professor Daniel Schugurensky told attendees that citizen participation is inherent in a democratic system, and that institutions must generate the spaces to promote dialogue and participation. During the seminar titled \u201cCitizens\u2019 Participation in Government Decision,\u201d Schugurensky added that citizenship is not very participative in most countries, but efforts must be made to improve this facet of democracy. Schugurensky also gave a keynote address in December at the Fifth International Congress on Educational Research and Transformation in the 21st Century in Mexico\u2019s Ciudad Victoria in the state of Tamaulipas.<\/p>\n

\nProgram testing to deter substance abuse in Mexican youth continues<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Flavio Marsiglia, director of ASU\u2019s Global Center for Applied Health Research, discussed the \u201ckeepin it REAL\u201d substance abuse program in a video conversation with Baja California\u2019s Colegio de la Frontera. Known as \u201cMantente REAL\u201d in Mexico, Marsiglia and his team at ASU developed the program to help delay and reduce substance abuse among adolescents. The concept is to promote abstinence by providing resistance skills and leveraging the strategies in the \u201cREAL\u201d acronym\u2014refuse<\/em>,\u00a0explain<\/em>,\u00a0avoid<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0leave.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0While the program started in the U.S., it is being tested in other countries. Pilot research has been ongoing in Mexico\u2019s largest cities of Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Monterrey and is now expanding to other regions to gauge its efficacy. GCAHR is part of ASU\u2019s Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions.<\/p>\n

\nTec PhD students conclude energy research stay in Tempe\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five years ago this month Mexico amended its constitution to allow the first reform of its energy sector in 75 years, a move that has opened the country to increased private and international investment. In December, four PhD students from Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey wrapped up six months at ASU conducting research linked to the new reforms, which are technically managed by Tec\u2019s Binational Laboratory in Mexico City. The students researched aspects of long-distance energy transmission, electricity conversion, regional interconnection of electrical systems, renewable energy processes, associated market costs, and other areas.<\/p>\n

ASU research underway to capture impact of anti-immigrant sentiments on border youth<\/strong><\/p>\n

As intense public discourse about immigration in the U.S. continues, investigators from ASU and Mexico\u2019s El Colegio de la Frontera Norte are looking into the impact of anti-immigrant violence and sentiments on youth living in the Nogales border region. The research will explore the youth experiences along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. The goal is to assess how these experiences can make adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems and how coping strategies might provide protection. The project is funded by the Program for Transborder Communities, ASU\u2019s School of Transborder Studies, and the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions Research Support and Advancement Plan.<\/p>\n
