Practitioner perspectives on informing decisions in One Health sectors with predictive models
The continued emergence of challenges in human, animal, and environmental health (One Health sectors) requires public servants to make management and policy decisions about system-level ecological and sociological processes that are complex, poorly understood, and change over time. Relying on intuition, evidence, and experience for robust decision-making is challenging without a formal assimilation of these elements (a model), especially when the…
Breaking the Silence on How Visitors and Educators Perceive Quiet Spaces in Museums
Tiny witnesses
Preschoolers, accompanied by their families, represent a highly under-researched demographic in dark heritage sites, due to the sensitive and challenging historical topics associated with these venues and exhibitions, as well as the ethical and methodological considerations pertinent to this unique visitor group. Based on a hermeneutic phenomenological methodological approach, this study utilized unobtrusive non-participatory observation and obse…
Museums as the catalysts for a democratic revolution in cultural policy
As culture exists and evolves predominantly in society, democratic principles provide a strong foundation for future cultural development. Through a range of case studies and provocations from Latin America and Europe, this paper delineates the necessary debate on urgent challenges and opportunities for practitioners, researchers and communities in working together with indigenous and marginalised groups to extend democratic cultural practice in …
Adult family members' roles in mediating children's visits at a Chinese science museum
Family groups are among the largest visitor demographics at museums. Insights from the literature of studies conducted in Western contexts, have provided abundant evidence on fostering positive family interactions, but often ignored non-Western cultural nuances which mediate such interaction. From a sociocultural perspective, this instrumental case study helps address this gap by investigating the roles family adults play through unobtrusive obse…
Berlin in English
This article examines the representation of Berlin in a cluster of recent English-language novels by writers including Amit Chaudhuri, Adrian Duncan, Helon Habila, Hari Kunzru, Lauren Oyler, Chris Power, Bea Setton and Matthew Sperling. Showing how the use of English in Berlin has been at the centre of contemporary German debates about migration and cultural identity and explaining how the image of Berlin in English literature has often been bala…
Becoming a Better ME
Museum educators' ( MEs ) visions and desires for career development represent an idealized and aspirational identity of being better museum educational professionals. As part of a larger project that explored museum educators' self‐concept as education professionals in China, this preliminary study explored 23 Chinese science museum educators' thoughts and ideas about their imagined professional identity in terms of describing personal desires f…
An instrument for measuring scientific empathy in students’ disciplinary engagement
A crucial component of disciplinary engagement for learners in science is that of scientific empathy—in other words, the metaphysical connection between the student and the object of study, as scientists embody when deeply engaged in their work. Scientific empathy is the factor that stimulates and maintains students’ desire to inquire and that elicits creative problem-solving in their “doing” science as a distinctive disposition from general empa…
Research trends in international science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education conference series
This paper reports on the results of a descriptive analysis of 675 publications included in the proceedings of five editions of the International Science , Technology , Engineering , and Mathematics in Education Conferences held in Australia, Canada, and China over 9 years between 2012 and 2021. Peer-reviewed academic journals are traditional sources of high quality and established research. Yet these papers might take months and sometimes years …

Chinese Science Museum Educators’ Perspectives on the Contradictions between Their Practice and Visitors’ Expectations
Science museum educators’ perceptions of the relationship between their professional practices and visitors’ expectations affect the formulation of their self-identity and their educational practices as museum education professionals. Situated in the sociocultural context of Chinese science museums this phenomenological study explored the perceived contradictions between museum educators’ and visitors’ expectations from the educators’ standpoint.…
Water Governance, Institutions and Conflicts in the Maasai Rangelands
Water scarcity in Narok county, Kenya may be attributed to demographic pressures, land-use changes, environmental degradation and the effects of climate change. This article combines methodologies from history and political science to investigate how local communities cope with water scarcity. In so doing, we consider how institutions, both indigenous and modern, mitigate conflict over access to and control of water sources. Cases are presented f…

Recollections of Who We Were
Understanding visitors' retrospective perceptions in museums as they connect objects with their personal identities and life stories, as well as their collective social identities, is of considerable interest to the museum field. This study employed a multiple case narrative methodology to understand the common perceptual themes of post‐World War II Japanese society between 1955 and 1970 (Shōwa 30–45) held by older Japanese adults following their…

What Nostalgia Was
Over the last thirty years or so, the study of nostalgia has received increasing critical attention from scholars across disciplinary fields. Once considered a distinctive pathological condition with identifiable symptoms, nostalgia had been largely demedicalized by the late 1800s; our nostalgia of today, by contrast, connotes a felt longing for the past, attending more to temporal lines of distance than spatial displacement or gap. In What Nosta…

Africans and Agricultural Production in Colonial Kenya
This article examines the economic effects of the Second World War on African peasant producers in Kenya, and places the war years within the context of the colony's economic difficulties during the Depression. In the mid-1930s the Kenya government sought to encourage African production, particularly among the Kikuyu and Abaluhya, in order to bolster the fiscal base of the colonial state and to subsidize the survival of the settler farming commun…
A database and synthesis of northern peatland soil properties and Holocene carbon and nitrogen accumulation
Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands. Our database consists of 268 peat cores from 215 sites located north of 45°N. It encompasses regions within which peat carbon data have only recently become available, such as the West Siberia Lowlands, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Kamchatka in Far East Russia, and the Tibetan…
Edutainment heritage tourist attractions
Edutainment heritage tourist attractions (EHTAs) are a hybrid form of attraction that seek to create a synergy between the educational value and the entertainment value of their heritage contents by using multimedia technologies. The edutainment nature of this relatively new form of tourist attraction obscures the differences between other forms of heritage attractions, such as museums of history and culture, heritage theme parks and living histo…

Khat in Colonial Kenya
Efforts to institute a system for the control and prohibition of khat in Kenya are examined in this article. Prohibition was introduced in the 1940s after an advocacy campaign led by prominent colonial officials. The legislation imposed a racialized view of the effect of khat, seeking to protect an allegedly ‘vulnerable’ community in the north of the country while allowing khat to be consumed and traded in other areas, including Meru where ‘tradi…
Young children's Perspectives of Museum Settings and Experiences
Overview Research into the museum experiences of young children is extremely limited and hence there is currently limited understanding and appreciation of children's perspectives of such settings. This is quite surprising given that children constitute a significant part of museum visitorship by virtue of their inclusion as part of the family visitor demographic, yet accounts of their experiences are largely ignored. This article reports on chil…

Time, dreams and museology
Sometimes I have this nightmare. I am in a world where certain people (museologistst have taken to themselves the right and power to identify and attribute meaning to objects on behalf of society. Also, the people with this power believe that their task is to tell people what they should know rather than to encourage them to think and learn for themselves about their past, present and future. Also, that museology is defined by museologists as wha…
The conservation of wildlife under the Antarctic Treaty
The Antarctic Treaty, which entered into force on 23 June 1961, has been widely welcomed. It marked the beginning of a new era in Antarctic politics and provided a basis for the further development of scientific co-operation. Article IX provides for the holding of meetings (generally known as “Consultative Meetings”) for the purposes of exchanging information, of consultation and of formulating measures in furtherance of the principles and object…
The Spiral as concept and as metaphor
Professor Patrick Geddes, perhaps the greatest of the early city planners and museologists in the United Kingdom, was commissioned by the Carnegie Trust in 1903 to put forward proposals to develop Carnegie’s home town, the City of Dunfermline. The report was inspired by a determination to infuse the whole city with the museum spirit, and museums with an awareness of the needs and interests of the ordinary inhabitants of the city. Geddes’ proposal…
Our enlightenment
The opening of the Enlightenment Gallery at the British Museum in 2003 is doubly welcome: first, because it opens up to visitors the debates about the history and purpose of museums; and, secondly, because it puts philosophy and political theory back at the centre of our work. The British Museum has made a major statement about the place of museums in society and should be warmly congratulated for this
The Spiral as a museum for the future
There is a plethora of new museums which declare themselves institutions for the new century. The Getty Museum in Los Angeles – which could (perhaps unkindly) be described as an ace tea garden with quite a nice museum attached – is one. Another is the Guggenheim in Bilbao. When the new museum in Bilbao opened in1997, the Director of the Guggenheim, Thomas Krems, said, ”That the Museum of the future will no longer resemble the familiar institution…

The cultural significance of the Spiral
Such is its creative force, the Spiral exists in ways that are more real than many contemporary buildings that have already been built and stand unnoticed. The Victoria and Albert Museum’s thinking and its programmes are being drawn forward by the Spiral’s gravitational pull. The Spiral cannot now be unthought, and the Museum moves in response to the momentum it has generated

Managing the forest
In colonial Africa, as elsewhere, conservation has invariably been linked to the dynamics of political life. The colonial state in Africa set down the parameters within which conservation policies were defined. Attitudes to the African environment evolved as the colonial period progressed, and conservation accordingly took on new forms and new roles. Although historians have been able to mark out ‘conservation eras’, to monitor the rise of public…
