Language, Culture, and Indigeneity
Language encultures the speaker as subject and provides access to an identity that is grounded in frames of knowing and being. This paper gives an overview of Indigeneity in relation to language and culture from four different pathways: 1) language and self-preservation, 2) nonviolent means to communal well-being, 3) student narratives and agency, and 4) the forward gaze of conceptions of “abode” and “sojourn.” A reflection on the value of Indige…
‘Look on my works ye mighty…’
In pursuit of an alternative perspective on the so-called ‘statues controversy’, this essay brings recent interpretations of the enduring ‘power’, ‘gaze’ and ‘magic’ of statues into alignment with critical histories of iconoclasm, sacred and secular, and New Materialist accounts of our multiple entanglements with the object histories of inherited monuments. Opening with a close reading of Percy Bysshe Shelley's renowned 1818 sonnet, ‘Ozymandias’,…

Schools as Factories
This essay examines a longstanding and recurrent metaphor in the representation of schools in modern society: the school as factory. Tracing this figure to the rise of philanthropic schools provided by factory owners from the early stages of the British industrial revolution, the essay surveys its uses both in the historical sources and in later critical‐theoretical analyses commonly informed by the work of Michel Foucault. While acknowledging th…

Geology of the Baraboo, Wisconsin, Area
With its wide variety of geological features and phenomena packed into a small area, the Baraboo of south-central Wisconsin is among the most visited parts of the Midwest by geology students. This guidebook, the first comprehensive look at the area in decades, covers the spectrum of geological features present in the area, and it is useful as a teaching tool. An exceptional outdoor classroom, the Baraboo area contains a spectrum of geology, inclu…
Postliberal education
The 2014 INPE McLaughlin Lecture explores the emergent concept of the ‘postliberal’ and the increasing frequency of its formal and informal uses in the languages of educational theory and practice. It traces the origins of the term ‘postliberal’ to certain strains of modern Christian theology, maps its migration into liberal democratic theory and examines its important role in the discussion of religious schooling as led for a time by Terry McLau…

Modeling utilitarian‐hedonic dual mediation (UHDM) in the purchase and use of games
Purpose It is assumed that consumers consume games to experience hedonic and utilitarian value. However, there is no conceptual model or empirical evidence that supports this hypothesis in the game context or clarifies whether these consumption values have dual mediated or individual effects. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to model the relationship between hedonic and utilitarian consumption and game purchase and usage. Design/methodo…
Religion, education and the post-secular child
This essay endeavours to reframe current discussion of the relationship of religion to education by highlighting an often seriously neglected element of contemporary educational thought: the changing, post-secular understanding of childhood in the globalised age. Drawing upon recent ethnographies of childhood, and an older anthropological scholarship, the essay seeks to illuminate the place of religion and religious experience in the education of…

Estimation for Non-Negative Lévy-Driven Carma Processes
Continuous-time autoregressive moving average (CARMA) processes with a nonnegative kernel and driven by a nondecreasing Lévy process constitute a useful and very general class of stationary, nonnegative continuous-time processes that have been used, in particular, for the modeling of stochastic volatility. Brockwell, Davis, and Yang (2007) derived efficient estimates of the parameters of a nonnegative Lévy-driven CAR(1) process and showed how the…
Mother–child relations and the discourse of maternity
In the critical assessment of the rise of what Jameson has termed the modern centred subject ... the lived experience of individual consciousness as a monadic and autonomous centre of activity, significant attention has been devoted to the impact of the institutions of the late eighteenth century ‘bourgeois cultural revolution’ such as the family and the school. Less consideration has been given in this history of regulated subjectivity to the em…

Brilliance of a Fire
This essay offers an extensive rehabilitation and reappraisal of the concept of childhood innocence as a means of testing the boundaries of some prevailing constructions of childhood. It excavates in detail some of the lost histories of innocence in order to show that these are more diverse and more complex than established and pejorative assessments of them conventionally suggest. Recovering, in particular, the forgotten pedigree of the Romantic…
Philosophy as a Basis for Policy and Practice
The purpose of this article is to suggest how philosophy might play a key, if precisely delineated, role in the shaping of policy that leads educational development. The argument begins with a reflection on the nature of confidence in the relationship between philosophy and policy. We note the widespread resistance to abstract theorising in the policy community, disguising the enormous potential of a philosophical approach. Defending a philosophi…
The Lure of Evil
The moral potential of works of art, for good or ill, has been recognised from philosophical antiquity: on the assumption that the moral effects of art are invariably negative, Plato advised the exclusion of artists from any rationally ordered state. Arguably, however, the problem of the moral status of art has become yet more acute in contexts of post-Romantic and other modern artistic exploration of moral ambiguity, and even of some apparent co…
Music Education and Cultural Identity
Renewed interest in the relationship between music education and cultural identity draws its vigor from strongly divergent sources. Globalized education and globalized musical culture supply new paradigms for understanding the central tasks of music education and their responsibility to a multicultural ethic of diversity, hybridity and difference. Yet recent anthropological studies of musical cognition and development emphasise both the centralit…
Validation of a New Scale for Measuring Problematic Internet Use
The current study introduced a theory-driven, multidimensional measure of problematic Internet use: the Online Cognition Scale (OCS). Undergraduate students (n = 211) in an industrial/organizational psychology course completed the OCS, along with measures of procrastination, rejection sensitivity, loneliness, depression, and impulsivity. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated that problematic Internet use consists of four dimensions: diminished…

Using ethnographic evidence from a variety of sources, the authors seek to explore the range of activities which constitute the modern Halloween, particularly as it is mediated to children through the forms of consumer culture. The paper analyses the changing social…

Personality Traits and Conduct of Institutionalized Delinquents
This study attempts to determine the relationship between certain personality traits and conduct of institutionalized delinquents. The Bernreuter Personality Inventory was administered to 152 State Industrial School and 181 State Reformatory inmates in Colorado.2 Although industrial school inmates range from 10 to 18 years of age, only those 15 years and over at the time of testing are used since these are fairly comparable with the high school p…
Guidance of Graduate Students
T OGETHER with many other institutions the University of Colorado in recent years has faced the problem of providing adequate graduate-study programs and guidance for an increasingly large number of candidates for the Master's degree in education. The situation, which has arisen in almost all American universities, has strained almost to the breaking point the limited facilities for graduate instruction and has led in nearly all instances to some…

Writing a thesis in education
W RITING A THESIS in education includes not only preparation of a comprehensive report of one's investigation of a worthwhile problem but all activities beginning with the initial selection of such a problem. One's ability to make a constructive contribution begins to increase at the moment when he first explores his interest in search of a problem which has not been completely solved. When that state of developing a thesis arrives at which defin…
Short answer and essay examinations
Short answer and essay examinations are deeply rooted in teaching practice. During their long history their values as measures of learning have been frequently questioned, especially during the second quarter of this century, when the objective test reached its height in popularity. But they have persisted and are still the principal means of measuring achievement in the high schools and colleges. What kinds of learning do shortanswer and essay e…

These other elements relate to subject matter, kinds of learning, and learning activities. Do the test items cover subject matter the student has had reasonable opportunity to learn? Do the items measure the kinds of learning expectd? Are the learning activities appropriate for cultivating the expected kinds of learning? Building tes…

From Poverty of Philosophy
Big industry brings together in one place a crowd of people who are unknown to one another. Competition divides them in regard to their interests. But maintaining their wages, this common interest which they have against their master, unites them in a single thought of resistance – coalition . Thus, the coalition always has a double purpose, that of bringing the competition among them to an end, in order to be able to mount a general competition …
