Opening the black box of degree classification algorithms: Towards a research agenda
Higher education systems exhibit varying degrees of heterogeneity in approaches to undergraduate degree classification – specifically for this Point of Departure: the wide variety of ‘Degree Classification Algorithms’ (DCAs) used to calculate students’ final awards. To date, the impact of DCA variation remains an under-researched ‘black box’, and whilst isolated institutional case studies have drawn attention to some underlying tensions, we posit…
Putting leadership in its place: Introduction to the special issue
This special issue emerges from a call for papers issued following the 18th International Studying Leadership Conference, hosted at the University of the West of England in December 2019, which addressed the theme of ‘Putting leadership in its place’. There was a certain playfulness to the topic, which invited contributors to not only look at the role of ‘place’ within Leadership Studies but also to actively challenge the reverence in which ‘lead…
Problematizing leadership learning facilitation through a trickster archetype: An investigation into power and identity in liminal spaces
This study uses the archetype of a ‘trickster’ to reflect back on, and hence problematize, the role of the educator/facilitator identity in leadership learning. This is based on the view that a trickster is a permanent resident in liminal spaces and that these liminal spaces play an important role in leadership learning. Our approach was based on the reading of the trickster literature alongside reflective conversations on our own experiences of …

Investigating leadership ethnographically: Opportunities and potentialities
Whilst recent years have seen increasingly ethnographic-focussed writings in Organisation Studies, similar developments have not been mirrored within Leadership Studies, where the field is still dominated by positivistic approaches. Various theorists have noted problems with this, often pointing toward ethnography as a way of investigating leadership from new angles. However, to date it remains underrepresented. Potentially, this could be due to …
Anti-leaders(hip) in Social Movement Organizations: The case of autonomous grassroots groups
Through the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement, the idea of horizontal, leaderless organization has come to the attention of the mass media. In this article we explore radical, participative-democratic alternatives to leadership through an empirical study of four Social Movement Organizations (SMOs). Whilst there has been some writing on leadership within SMOs, it has mirrored the ‘mainstream’ assumption that leadership is the product of individ…
Growing up: Childhood in English Canada from the Great War to the Age of Television
Childhood is a socially constructed state that can differ significantly from culture to culture and period to period. The history of childhood is rapidly emerging as an important area of study. Neil Sutherland looks at children's lives in modern, industrialized, pre-television Canada, from before the First World War to the 1960s. Based on adult memories of childhood, this book investigates a wide selection of experiences of growing up. Sutherland…
Introduction: Children and Families Enter History's Main Stream
In the past, the history of families and children sometimes found a place in specialized studies, local histories, and even elementary school books. On the other hand, they made but fleeting appearances in high school and university courses or in texts in national history. The prevailing situation was exemplified for this writer by the lectures and recommended textbook in the course in Canadian history taught by Gilbert N. Tucker at the Universit…
Regionalism, Cabinet Stability and Canada's Electoral System: The Effect of District Magnitude
Previous literature has assumed that there is a trade-off between cabinet stability, by means of a majority manufactured by a single-seat plurality system, and the alleviation of regional conflict, by means of a more proportional electoral system. This study demonstrates that no such tradeoff exists. The objective of this study is to find an alternative electoral system which satisfies both the criteria of majority government and multiregional re…
Labour's Apprentices: Working-Class Lads in Late Victorian and Edwardian England
When You Listen to the Winds of Childhood, How Much Can You Believe
The place to which you go back to listen to the wind you heard in your childhood-that is your homeland, which is also the place where you have a grave to tend. Though I chose to live in Quebec partly because of the love for it which my mother passed on to me, now it is my turn to come back to Manitoba to tend her grave. And also to listen to the wind of my childhood. --Gabrielle Roy, The Fragile Lights of Earth
We Always Had Things to Do: The Paid and Unpaid Work of Anglophone Children between the 1920s and the 1960s
By the 1920s child labour and school attendance legislation had almost eliminated the full-time labour of those under fifteen. However, interview data show that both middle- and working-class Canadian children continued to do a great deal of work in their households. Many young boys and girls also worked at regular and irregular part-time paying jobs. The earnings of working-class children often stood between their families and real economic hard…

Children in English-Canadian Society: 1880-1920: Framing the Twentieth-Century Consensus
Children in English-Canadian Society: Framing the Twentieth-Century Consensus
Professor Sutherland has a keen eye, both for the illuminating and for the typical, and has assembled this history from English-language sources across the country. It is a readable and important work that will interest social historians and all involved, in whatever capacity, with the care and development of children.
To Create a Strong and Healthy Race: School Children in the Public Health Movement, 1880-1914
The Urban Child
WHILE PRACTITIONERS of the new history of education see much more clearly than most historians the dynamic relationship the school has with the society of which it is part, we continue to share with the other observers of education a tendency to look at the child in the classroom as someone being taught; that is, we see him primarily as the object of the process of education, rather than in his real role of learner. We have ignored what has becom…
Shape Discrimination by Rats: Squares and Rectangles
Sixteen rats were trained to discriminate between a square and a rectangle: both shapes were presented in different orientations to different animals. All animals were trained in succession with positive shape only, positive and negative shapes presented simultaneously, positive and negative shapes presented successively; finally they were given tests with 18 transfer shapes presented singly. Although the rats showed a strong preference for the s…
Visual Discrimination of Orientation by Octopus: Mirror Images
Octopuses were trained to discriminate visually between different pairs of mirror image shapes. The successive method of discrimination training was used. It was found first that octopuses discriminate more readily between up-down mirror images than between left-right mirror images; secondly, that octopuses discriminate as readily between mirror image shapes as between non-mirror image shapes of equivalent complexity. It was also shown that it is…
Visual Discrimination of Orientation by Octopus
Recent research on visual discrimination has largely ignored one of major problems in this field, namely what are properties of shapes to which animals are responding when they discriminate them: a solution to this problem must precede attempts to arrive at mechanism behind shape discrimination. Experiments were conducted on discrimination of orientation by octopuses. It was shown that discrimination of orientation was easy where orientations to …

Opening the black box of degree classification algorithms: Towards a research agenda
