Neighborhood Disparities in Access to Public Library Resources: A Systematic Synthesis of Funding Inequities, Operational Barriers, and Spatial Exclusion

This systematic synthesis of twenty-one studies reveals that neighborhood disparities in public library access persist due to a mutually reinforcing cycle of socioeconomic-driven funding inequities, operational policies that inadvertently favor well-resourced branches, and spatial barriers, necessitating targeted interventions and advanced methodological approaches to address these structural inequalities.

Drawing on Merleau-Ponty's ontology and ethnographic research with the Guarani people in Palhoça, Brazil, this paper argues that place is not a static container of meaning but a dynamic, sensible field where individual, collective, and emancipatory modes of experience intertwine to sustain identity and interrupt relations of domination.

Precarious Selling: Gender, Disability, and Everyday Platform Work on Shopee and Tokopedia in Indonesia

Drawing on qualitative interviews with 15 women sellers in Indonesia, this article argues that e-commerce platforms like Shopee and Tokopedia reorganize rather than resolve inequality by creating a condition of "precarious inclusion" for women with disabilities, where digital access is granted but participation remains unstable due to intersecting gendered, ableist, and algorithmic structures.
