Innovation or education? Creating spaces for appearance in initial teacher education
Education and innovation have always had a tension-filled relationship, with the latter historically associated with technological and economic novelties. It is small wonder that in these late capitalist times innovation has been claimed and captured by market forces, a process which has also undermined Initial Teacher Education's fundamental role in supporting plurality and educational action. By bringing Hannah Arendt's vita activa in conversat…
Rethinking teacher education in an AI world: Perceptions, readiness and institutional support for generative AI integration
The increasing prevalence of Generative AI (GenAI) in education offers significant opportunities for advancements in instructional design and educational innovation. GenAI tools, like ChatGPT, are poised to transform teacher education by reshaping instructional techniques, learning strategies, and assessment methods. However, there is limited research on educational institutions’ responses to GenAI and teacher educators’ readiness to adopt these …
Introduction: Erasures in the history of science
For more than three decades, historians have been attentive to the field's Eurocentrism and to its tendency to marginalize histories from colonized, formerly colonized, or Global South regions. From Nancy Leys Stepan, Marcos Cueto, and Warwick Anderson in the 1990s to a rich roster of scholars today, historians of Latin American science have challenged longstanding assumptions in a range of themes, including core and periphery, the transfer of kn…
Towards a European framework for community engagement in higher education – a case study analysis of European universities
Purpose This paper aims to examine the development and piloting of a novel European framework for community engagement (CE) in higher education, which has been purposefully designed to progress the CE agenda in a European context. Design/methodology/approach The proposed framework was co-created through the European Union (EU)-funded project towards a European framework for community engagement in higher education (TEFCE). The TEFCE Toolbox is an…

The many meanings of aborto: Pregnancy Termination and the Instability of a Medical Category Over Time
This article sheds light on an important facet of the history of abortion in Mexico: that is, moments in which doctors and priests reconciled the termination of pregnancy with religious ideologies, thus refracting the concept of abortion through a Catholic lens at different points in time. By underscoring ambivalences in the definition, implementation, and criminalization of abortive procedures, the research demonstrates that Mexican physicians p…
Revolutionary Ideology and Political Destiny in Mexico, 1928-1934: Lázaro Cárdenas and Adalberto Tejeda
Following the Mexican Revolution, agrarian reformists sought to create an ejidal system that would transform the oligarchic economy and incorporate peasants into the political life of the state. By the late 1920s, reformists were increasingly at odds with many veterans of the revolution, especially Plutarco Elías Calles and his cabinet. For radical peasants and politicians, a weak federal dedication to land redistribution represented a frustrated…
If they are useful, why expel them?” Las Hermanas de la Caridad and Religious Medical Authority in Mexico City Hospitals, 1861–1874
The expulsion of las Hermanas de la Caridad was a highly contentious battle in Mexico’s nineteenth-century war between Church and State. Las Hermanas—who staffed and administrated Mexico City’s hospitals for three decades (1844–1874)—are generally portrayed as the adventitious victims of President Lerdo de Tejada’s attacks on religion. Using records from Mexico City’s Secretary of Health archive, this article argues that public health officials w…

Genetic structure of the Utah Mormons: A comparison of kinship estimates from DNA blood groups, genealogies, and ancestral arrays
Kinship estimates based on shared proportions of European ancestry are constructed for 284 Utah males born in eight geographic subdivisions. These "ancestral kinship" estimates are compared with kinship coefficients based on DNA polymorphisms, blood groups, genealogies, isonymy, and migration matrices. At the subdivision level, a high correlation is observed between ancestral kinship and kinship based on isonymy. Comparing individuals, a signific…

Consanguinity avoidance and mate choice in Sottunga, Finland
Potential mates analysis is used to determine some of the social and demographic characteristics that influence mate choice in a small island population. Potential mate pools are defined for males in this population; characteristics such as population size and composition with respect to consanguinity are specified. Determinants of mate choice are examined in light of mate availability and potential mate pool characteristics for endogamous maters…
