Towards a revolution in sustainability education
The challenges of sustainability and sustainable development are multifaceted and complex. Addressing them in the long run requires a revolution in the training of future generations of learners so that they can devise solutions for sustainability dilemmas in environments characterized by uncertainty, information deficits, and asymmetric power relationships. Such a revolution is under way in many disciplines. Within the field of sustainability st…
Improving upon the ‘July effect’
US teaching hospitals orient interns each year, usually in the summer months (JuneJuly). These new physicians have usually just finished with their medical school training and do not have any other clinical experience outside of medical school (i.e., without supervision). They are asked to begin seeing patients on day 1 of their internship without having formed relationships with other clinical staff such as nursing and without knowing the hospit…
Making Sense of Data
Data interpretation and theory building are two key skills often taught in health sciences qualitative methods courses. However, little is known about how novice researchers make sense of data, as well as how their thought processes differ from those of expert researchers. In this classroom research project, the author explores how qualitative methods students in a public health graduate program describe their processes of making sense of data an…

Greedy Institutions
This article focuses on how the institutional contexts of colleges and universities shape these “greedy institutions.” We look at the current social, political, and economic trends affecting all postsecondary institutions, specifically the forces that encourage “greediness.” We examine the literature on structural arenas that influence teaching in higher education, including type of institution and departmental level characteristics, considering …

Getting More out of Less
Experiential learning is a flexible instructional tool, adaptable to suit most courses. However, only a minority of instructors use these types of assignments in their courses. I examine whether short-term experiential learning reduces the drawbacks that may prevent instructors from using this instructional technique. I explore instructor and student perspectives on three types of short-term exercises: observations, participant-observations, and …
Economic Development and Native American Women in the Early Nineteenth Century
market economy defines a common experience among women which transcends time, place, and culture.' Feminists and scholars of the Third World have pointed to the degradation of women's traditional economic and social power that accompanies western modernization. American historians have similarly described the situation facing women in New England during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as self-sufficiency gave way to agricultur…

Chinese History and the Historical Vocation
I Want to address myself to two points: why I think the study of China requires the study of its history, and why I think the proper practice of the historical profession in general requires some awareness of the history of China. I would argue that the study of change in time is the heart of the historical approach, and that for this reason, history's contribution to the study of China is intellectually legitimate and quite different from that o…

One Chinese Moon
Modern China in Transition, 1900-1950
Contemporary China can only be understood in relation to its recent past. During the half century before 1950, Chinese history was marked both by the vigorous per sistence of tradition and by the emergence of powerful revolu tionary drives. With the final collapse of the imperial system, China sought meaningful values and effective institutions which could realistically link past, present, and future. Chinese na tionalism, combined with tradition…
The Adaptability of Ch'ing Diplomacy
Historians of the modern Far East have usually assumed that in spite of the founding of the Tsungli-yamen and the launching of the self-strengthening movement of the 1860's, Chinese foreign policy remained weak, inept, and uninformed. Typically, China's handling of the Korean problem is contrasted with the swift and sure diplomacy of the new Japan to show how little Chinese statesmen understood of changing world conditions or of the altered chara…
What's in a Reign Name The Uses of History and Philology
The historian and the philologist who study the written record of China's past in different ways and to different ends both face the problem of intractable Chinese texts. The mutual sympathy that this engenders is not unmixed with complacent condescension on the part of each toward the way the other goes about solving questions that are the concern of both, especially in the realm of translation. The historian's habit of translating the names of …

From Revolution to Restoration
The accession to power of the Kuomintang in 1927–1928 marked the end of the era in which revolutionary strains had been dominant in the party's program and the beginning of one of the most interesting and instructive of the many efforts in history to make a revolution the heir of ancient tradition. The Kuomintang effort was noteworthy for four reasons: (1) the rapidity with which its course was reversed; (2) the magnitude of the gulf between the …

The Chinese Peasant and Communism
THE political importance of the Chinese peasantry, largely ignored for several decades, both in China and abroad, has been underscored by the Chinese Communist consolidation of power. In China modern conservative and liberal political movements have focused their attention on what appeared to be the more dramatic aspects of reform and modernization. Earlier Communist leaders for quite different reasons gave a similarly low priority to peasant asp…
