The Mangrove Restoration Tracker Tool: Meeting local practitioner needs and tracking progress toward global targets
Restoration is a key component of global and national efforts to combat ecosystem degradation, reduce biodiversity loss, and adapt to climate change, and there is currently an impetus to scale up restoration efforts. However, our ability to track progress toward restoration targets is limited by the lack of consistent and standardized data on objectives, interventions, and outcomes. To address this, a collaboration of conservation practitioners a…

Deficit Lay or Deficit Expert: How Do “Experts” in Environmental Projects Perceive Lay People and Lay Knowledge
This research reveals expert perceptions of lay people and lay knowledge in environmental projects, such as information giving activities, research projects, and environmental planning projects. A semistructured interview method was employed with six researchers from a university in Sweden. Although the expert–lay relationship has traditionally been discussed within a “deficit model,” many experts in this research expressed a more positive view o…

Living together with seawalls: Risks and reflexive modernization in Japan
Seawall structures have played a role in protecting the coastal areas of Japan from severe weather events since the 1950s. However, these concrete structures provoke controversy, seen by some in coastal villages as burdensome legacies. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake devastated coastal villages in March 2011, extending and increasing the height and strengths of these seawalls has suddenly become high on the government’s agenda. This article…

The problems with a ‘fact’-focused approach in environmental communication: The case of environmental risk information about tidal flat developments in Japan
One of the main approaches used in communicating environmental issues to citizens is conveying ‘factual’ information about a particular environment. However, despite previous research and recommendations made by critical environmental educators, there still seems to be a belief that the more ‘factual’ information one can convey, the more citizens will become aware of the issue, and this will prompt them to change their behaviours. In this article…
Shared minds: Effects of a mother's imitation of her child on the mother–child interaction
Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have impaired social interaction right from early development. Previous studies (Dawson & Adams, 1984; Tiegerman & Primavera, 1981, 1984) have suggested that imitating children with ASD is effective in facilitating their social behaviors. The present case report, through a 6‐month intervention, investigated how a home‐based intervention of helping a mother imitate her 21‐month‐old child with ASD imp…
Switched off? A study of disengagement among computing students at two universities
We explore the conditions under which students engage with, or disengage from, learning at university within the context of increased student diversity. We discuss the concept and use of academic engagement and disengagement but focus on the dynamics of disengagement in two comparable first year computing modules at a pre‐ and a post‐1992 university. The findings from this study suggest that there are many periods in which the learning and teachi…

Theorising Inner-city Masculinities: Race', class, gender and education
Inner-city boys continue to be stereotypically associated with a range of social and educational 'problems', despite feminist calls for more nuanced and complex analyses to be undertaken of the racialised and classed aspects of masculinities. This article engages with the question of how to theorise diverse, working-class male pupils' masculinities within an inner-city, multicultural context. Data drawn from discussions with boys at one inner-cit…
Knowing their limits'? Identities, inequalities and inner city school leavers' post-16 aspirations
This paper draws upon data collected from 20 working class, inner city pupils in a British (London) school (in Year 11, aged 15/16 years) as part of a research study exploring the ways in which young people understand their options and identities. Pilot study data is used to develop an analysis of the processes through which inner city, working class young people come to leave school at the age of 16. Attention is drawn to issues of identity and …
A Vote for Consensus: Democracy and difference in Japan
How evident is democracy within education in Japan, and is current practice different from elsewhere? This paper assesses the perception that Japanese political and educational practices are not fully 'democratic'. The first part examines the Japanese perspective on democracy, and then considers democracy and education in Japan. From a school-based study, the second part discusses examples of class practice concerning decision-making. The paper c…
Somatometric Measurements of University Students from 1980 to 1993
The Department of Anatomy (1), Jikei University School of Medicine, had been accumulating somatometric data from the somatometrics practical classes for 14 years from 1980 to 1993. One-thousand and ninety-three university male students (third year) who were born from 1955 to 1973 were examined. We present the data as basic statistical measurements
