  • Networked Learning in 2021: A Community Definition

    Open AccessNetworked Learning Editorial Collective, Lesley Gourlay et al.ARTICLEPostdigital Science and Education2021

    Introduction (Networked Learning Editorial Collective): Since the turn of this century, much of the world has undergone a tectonic socio-technological change. Computers have left the isolated basements of research institutes and entered people's homes. Network connectivity has advanced from slow and unreliable modems to high-speed broadband. Devices have evolved: from stationary desktop computers to ever-present, always-connected smartphones. The…

  • Networked learning in a networked world

    Susan B Hansen, Stig Børsen HansenCHAPTERDesigning for Learning in a…2018

    This chapter explores how the conception of a networked world has shaped networked learning as an emerging academic field. The strands share a variety of interests in learning and networks, yet are each shaped by their different histories and theoretical hinterland. Firmly located in what people may call the British tradition, C. Jones offers a definition and further description of networked learning, based on his own work and that of Goodyear an…

  • On the Concept of Context

    Open AccessNina Bonderup Dohn, Susan B Hansen et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2018References: 19

    This article aims to clarify the concept of context. Our motivation is the lack of consensus on what context is, despite common accept of the claim that learning is context-dependent to some degree, and despite a widespread interest in researching learning in specific contexts such as museums, classrooms, or workplace settings. We provide a minimal concept which is applicable to all references to context, properly construed. We point out that mor…

  • Women’s Equality, Candidate Difference, and the Vote

    Susan B HansenARTICLEWomen & Politics2016Cited by: 1References: 33

    This article argues that the status of women continues to be a major issue in the ongoing culture wars over morality politics. While more scholarly and media attention has focused on abortion and gay marriage, since the 1970s the Democratic and Republican Parties have also taken divergent positions on the status of women. Data from the American National Election Studies show that while the general public has become more supportive of equal roles …

  • The Politics of Sex: Public Opinion, Parties, and Presidential Elections

    Susan B HansenBOOKPolitics of Sex2014

    The American cultural landscape has shifted considerably since the 1990s. As church attendance has declined, seculars have increased in number and in political involvement. The economy was supposed to be the most important issue in the 2008 and 2012 elections, but social issues such as gay rights and the status of women actually had a greater impact on vote choice. Moral issues and perceptions of candidate morality had less effect on voters in 20…

  • Religion and Reaction: The Secular Political Challenge to the Religious Right

    Susan B HansenBOOKReligion and reaction2011

    While the Religious Right has received considerable scholarly attention and media coverage in recent years, the story of the growing number of Secular Americans—those who identify themselves as atheists, agnostics, or as not having any religious ties—has yet to be told. In the first book devoted exclusively to Seculars, Susan B. Hansen argues that they are not only increasing in number and political involvement, but have devised strategies and al…

  • Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Religion

    Open AccessSusan B Hansen, Stig Børsen HansenARTICLEPhilosophy Compass2011References: 10

    This paper explores the relevance of Wittgenstein's early work for treatments of religion. The first section briefly outlines some different interpretive possibilities with respect to early Wittgenstein's thinking. The following section explores the idea that what is important about early Wittgenstein's work resides not in the meaning of the text as such, but in elements of his Jewish heritage. The third section outlines the immediate task that i…

  • The Later Wittgenstein and the Philosophy of Religion: Wittgenstein and Philosophy of Religion

    Open AccessSusan B Hansen, Stig Børsen HansenARTICLEPhilosophy Compass2010Cited by: 1References: 9

    This article sets out by distinguishing Wittgenstein’s own views in the philosophy of religion from a school of thought in the philosophy of religion that relies on later Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language. After a survey of distinguishing features of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy, the third section explores Wittgenstein’s treatment of Frazer’s account of magic among primitive peoples. The following section offers an account of Wittgensteini…

  • A Woman for U.S. President? Gender and Leadership Traits Before and After 9/11

    Susan B Hansen, Laura Wills-OteroARTICLEWomen & Politics2006Cited by: 6References: 15

    A public agenda focused on terrorism and war may have added to voters' doubts about women's leadership, but popular support for electing a woman has rebounded since 2001–2003. An analysis of candidates' traits using American National Election Studies (ANES) surveys found that the "strong leader" cue actually became less rather than more important as a predictor of the presidential vote in 2004 than in 2000. The trait "candidate cares about you" w…

  • All Things Considered: Systematic Cognitive Processing and Electoral Decision-making

    David C Barker, Susan B HansenARTICLEThe Journal of Politics2005Cited by: 27References: 34

    This paper seeks to understand what difference it makes if voters systematically consider a representative range of salient criteria before choosing a candidate, and whether the effects of such systematic processing are conditioned by political knowledge. To this end, we executed experiments during the 2000 electoral season that randomly exposed some subjects to an Analytic Hierarchy Processing (AHP) tool, which encourages systematic processing o…

  • The Impact of a Low-Wage Strategy on State Economic Development

    Open AccessSusan B HansenARTICLEState Politics & Policy Quarterly2001Cited by: 5References: 25

    The American states have pursued several different approaches to create jobs and foster economic development, including reducing the social cost of labor. I show that state labor costs are markedly lower in 1995 than in 1970, based on a factor analysis of wages and state regulations affecting unions and the cost of labor. Corporate low-wage strategies, international and interstate competition for business, and the growing weakness of labor unions…

  • Life Is Not Fair: Governors' Job Performance Ratings and State Economies

    Susan B HansenARTICLEPolitical Research Quarterly1999Cited by: 66References: 33

    Presidential popularity has been shown to respond to economic trends. This article uses survey data from California and seven other states, 196797, to test whether govemors are likewise vulnerable to trends in state economies. Multiple regression is used to test the impact of the state's unemployment and rate of per capita income growth on disapproval of the govemor's job performance. Even with controls for national economic trends and other fact…

  • Talking About Politics: Gender and Contextual Effects on Political Proselytizing

    Susan B HansenARTICLEThe Journal of Politics1997Cited by: 134References: 44

    As predicted by resource-based models of political participation, women's increasing education and labor-force involvement have led to rates of political activity equal to or exceeding rates for men. But NES election study data reveal a sizable gender gap persisting from 1972 to 1994 in efforts to influence others' votes. An alternative contextual model is postulated to account for increased levels of political proselytizing by women when female …
