Testing the Limits of the Practical
After the Virus
The 2020 COVID-19 disaster triggered an educational crisis in the United States, deeply exacerbating the inequities present in education as schools went online. This primary impact may not be the only one, however: literature describes a secondary impact of such disasters through “disaster capitalism,” in which the private sector captures the public resources of disaster-struck communities for profit. In response to these warnings, we ask how sch…
Critical thinking for transformative praxis in teacher education
The notion and practice of critical thinking (CT) has moved from its speculative formation by John Dewey to a standard element in teacher education curricula and standards. In the process, CT has narrowed its focus to the analysis and articulation of logical thought, and lost transformative value. In this paper, we examine the conception and implementation of CT in three teacher education domains primarily in the United States–music, media and in…
Critical Counter-Narrative as Transformative Methodology for Educational Equity
Counter-narrative has recently emerged in education research as a promising tool to stimulate educational equity in our increasingly diverse schools and communities. Grounded in critical race theory and approaches to discourse study including narrative inquiry, life history, and autoethnography, counter-narratives have found a home in multicultural education, culturally sensitive pedagogy, and other approaches to teaching for diversity. This chap…
Building New York State Centers of Excellence in Children’s Environmental Health
Public health programs may be seriously affected in periods of federal retrenchment. During these times, state-based strategies provide an alternate pathway for advancing public health. A 12-year campaign to secure state support for a network of Centers of Excellence in Children’s Environmental Health (CEH) promoting health of children across New York State is described. It was driven by rising rates of asthma, birth defects, developmental disord…
Capturing Sound or History? Understanding the 1928 Minzoku Geijutsu Transcription Debate
Debate over the procedures of ethnographic transcription have ranged from the technical to the philosophical, and, in more recent years, the goals of transcription have been considered against the backdrop of other debates over authenticity and representation. The debate in the pages of the 1928 Japanese folklore journal Minzoku geijutsu between composer Fujii Kiyomi (1889–1944) and shakuhachi historian Nakazuka Chikuzen (1887–1944) provides an e…
Using an Adversary Hearing to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Military Program
This study describes the design and implementation of an adversary hearing used to evaluate professional development initiatives in a military environment. The adversary hearing model used in the evaluation was developed to meet the requirements of an environment that differs from other environments in which adversary hearings have been used. The evaluation was conducted to determine whether a professional development program of the U. S. Army, E…
Compelling Family Processes
This article introduces the idea of family process research and asserts that the study of family processes is an indispensable component of any effort to conceptualize and measure family life. Within this article the family process approach is defined through the use of several domains that categorize core constructs. Further, several key assumptions are identified that form the foundation this family process approach. A related objective of this…

Application of a poster exercise in an advanced undergraduate geography course
This paper discusses the nature and application of a research poster exercise in senior (e.g., final year undergraduate) university classes. The exercise consists of three components. First, students are involved in a piece of supervised research in which they set their own research question; design, execute and evaluate research strategies; and communicate the synthesised results of their activities to an audience. Second, the exercise is struct…
A Critique of the New Natural Law Theory. Russell Hittinger
Evaluating Faculty for Promotion and Tenure

A Festival of Plays
Recourse to the Letter
Marcel Broodthaers's work documents, in every respect, the singular circumstances of its production. In a letter of 1973, Broodthaers noted: As for the notion of establishing some direct relationship between literature and the visual arts, I'm afraid I've begun by choosing Mallarme's Le Coup de Des as a subject!!!' An open letter written in 1969, at the same time as the presentation of Broodthaers's book Un coup de des jamais n'abolira le hasard.…
Jeremy Bentham's Panoptic Device
To begin with, a description of the basic elements of the apparatus. The apparatus is a building. It is circular. There are cells around the circumference, on each floor. In the center, a tower. Between the center and the circumference is a neutral, intermediate zone. Each cell has a window to the outside, so constructed that air and light can enter, but the view outside is blocked; each cell also has a grilled door that opens toward the inside s…
The Freudian Subject, from Politics to Ethics
When one has a sense of guilt after having committed a misdeed, and because of it, the feeling should more properly be called It relates only to a deed that has been done, and of course, it presupposes that a conscience the readiness to feel guilty was already in existence before the deed took place. . . . But if the human sense of guilt goes back to the killing of the primal father, that was after all a case of remorse. Are we to assume that at …

Hitchcock
Bataille's Tomb
Even the best-intentioned of posthumous tributes cannot avoid obeisance to the rituals of necrophilia. Thus I shall use the date and place of our present meeting, as well as its pious motive, as a pretext for introducing my subject: at a barely respectful distance from Vezelay, where Georges Bataille was buried twenty years ago today, I shall speak of Bataille's grave.' Not of the grave in which he has since been resting, beneath a stone I do not…
Uncertainty
To Situate Sublimation
Everything in Leonardo da Vinci's childhood denotes a symbolic figure of seduction (what better parable could there be?), of the implantation of the maternal desire that is destined to mark the child and, ultimately, the adult. This is what Leonardo means when he says that his preoccupation with the flight of birds had been preordained by destiny. And how is it possible, as we witness the beating of the kite's (to give it its true name) tail, to …
The Poetic Debussy. A Collection of His Song Texts and Selected Letters
This completely revised second edition of The Poetic Debussy contains the most recent discoveries in the composer's oeuvre, including a number of hitherto unknown songs. The texts of all Debussy's songs, both in the original French and with revised English translations on the facing page, are collected in chronological order, with notes and location of sources. In addition, Margaret Cobb has brought together a fascinating selection of Debussy's l…

"Reading Delacroix's "Journal
To someone reading Delacroix's Journal, whether for the first time or returning to it after twenty years, as I have just done, I suggest the following experiment: read it not by dipping into it casually, but as it should be read, from start to finish (perhaps this pertains even more to second reading, as we shall see). Allow the text to unfold, page by page, not seeking out the high points, even though this may mean that, accustomed as we may thi…

The Role of the United Nations in an Emerging Africa South of the Sahara
Only four states on the African continent were among the original 51 members of the United Nations-Egypt, Ethiopia, Liberia, and the Union of South Africa. In contrast, 22 African countries have gained independence in the last five years, and several others will follow suit in 1961 and 1962.* Already the African nations hold a majority (25 to 21) in the Afro-Asian group in the United Nations, and virtually one-half of the items on the agenda of t…

Use of Analysis of Variance to Assess Individual Differences in Learning
Historically statistical tests of significance have not permitted determination of whether the trials effect (learning) differs reliably across learners. A common statistical test, analysis of variance, can ordinarily only be used to assess whether the trials effect varies across experimental treatments. However, the learning situation can be so rearranged that reliable individual differences in learning can be statistically evaluated. The propos…
