Translanguaging for Epistemic Access and Inclusion in a Basic Computing Module - A Freirean Reflective Account
This reflective paper examines the transformation of the Basic Computing Fundamentals module for pre-service teachers in South Africa's Eastern Cape, a region marked by linguistic diversity and persistent digital disparities rooted in apartheid's legacy. Moving beyond a technical skills focus, the module embraced a multilingual, critically engaged pedagogy to foster epistemic access and inclusion by integrating translanguaging. We can use isiXhos…
Repatriation in university museum collections
University-based anthropology museums are uniquely positioned to pursue nuanced decisions concerning the disposition of collections in their care, setting best practice for the field. The authors describe a three-staged approach to repatriations that they led during their concurrent service as head of cultural policy and repatriation (Jordan Jacobs) and director (Benjamin Porter) of the University of California, Berkeley's Phoebe A. Hearst Museum…

Religious Pluralism and Organizational Diversity
This study addresses the question as to why there are so many different kinds of organizations. It puts forth the general proposition that organizational diversity in a community is isomorphic to the heterogeneity of the composition of its population. Given that religion is a fundamental category of identity and association, with potentially far-reaching implications for social structure, we focus on religious pluralism. By linking religious plur…
Reconstruction of the Ethical Debate on Naturalness in Discussions About Plant-Biotechnology
This paper argues that in modern (agro)biotechnology, (un)naturalness as an argument contributed to a stalemate in public debate about innovative technologies. Naturalness in this is often placed opposite to human disruption. It also often serves as a label that shapes moral acceptance or rejection of agricultural innovative technologies. The cause of this lies in the use of nature as a closed, static reference to naturalness, while in fact “natu…
Experimental British Television
As Laura Mulvey notes in her introduction, ‘experimental television’ might seem to be an oxymoron but, as the essays in this fascinating collection demonstrate, the aspiration to experiment, innovate and challenge constitutes a significant dimension of television production throughout its history. Whether such aspirations were successfully fulfilled is a matter this book is less concerned with; instead we have essays that explore a range of creat…
Childhood Religious Conservatism and Adult Attainment among Black and White Women
The resurgence of conservative religious groups over the past several decades raises interesting questions about its effects on women's life chances. Conservative religious institutions promote a traditional understanding of gender within families. Women's beliefs about appropriate family roles, in turn, influence their preparation for market work and the timing and extent of their labor force participation. Using retrospective data from the Nati…
Tremendous Satisfaction from Helping People to Pursue Their Research’
Wednesday, April 14, 2004, a rainy afternoon in Providence, the city with quaint old houses, as H.P. Lovecraft put it. Inside the century-old building of The John Carter Brown Library, located on the thoroughly soaked Brown Green, a ceremony is conducted in the MacMillan Reading Room. The Ambassador of Spain to the United States, HE. Javier Ruperéz, has just been presented with the first volume of the Hakluyt Society edition of the Malaspina Expe…
Attitudes of women and men physicians
Attitudinal data obtained from interviewing random samples of women and men physicians in metropolitan Detroit indicated that women were generally more liberal and egalitarian than men. Older women were more liberal/egalitarian than older men while younger men were closer in attitudes to younger women. Within specialities, women and men physicians frequently held similar attitudinal scores; however, controlling for age, sex accounted for more var…
"Symbolic Bureaucracy"
This paper is concerned with certain ideas about bureaucracy presented by Weber and qualified and expanded upon by Blau. Based upon the information gathered in a year-long participant observation study of “The Single Men's Unit” of a public welfare department from February 1959 to February 1960, during which time he was employed as a “social caseworker,” the author has introduced the notion of “symbolic bureaucracy.” The discussion, which is cent…
