The emergence of a distinctive European scholarship of professional development
This article's central focus is the distinction between mainstream North American -particularly US -scholarship and critical European scholarship, in relation to teacher professional learning and development.The era of accountability pervading the US policy landscape, it is noted, has spawned a dominant mainstream scholarship centred around causal chains and a 'consensus' about the features of 'effective' professional development that generates s…
When teaching competes with research for academics’ attention
Many academics prioritise research activity over the pursuit of teaching excellence – a prioritisation that threatens the European Commission’s agenda for teaching excellence in higher education. This article considers what underpins such prioritisation, and how the tension it creates may be addressed. The discussion centres on micro-level theoretical perspectives on people’s attitudes to their work. The author’s ‘proximity theory’ explains such …
What is academic development? Contributing a frontier-extending conceptual analysis to the field’s epistemic development
In 2014 the International Journal for Academic Development (IJAD) issued a call for papers for ‘Beyond learning and teaching: Extending the frontiers of academic development’. Though it was never published, the conceptual and definitional opacity that this special issue was expected to address, along with prevalent epistemic parochialism, remain problematic for academic development scholarship, and this article focuses on them. The article incorp…

Organizing against Aids and across Prison Walls
Across the late 1980s and 1990s, activists came together to challenge the convergence of the HIV/AIDS crisis and the carceral state. Incarcerated people organized AIDS peer education and advocacy across the United States in both women's and men's prisons. They taught HIV/AIDS workshops, pushed for medical access and compassionate release, and expressed care through tactics ranging from buddy programs in prison infirmaries to fundraising walkathon…

Is educational leadership (still) worth studying? An epistemic worthiness-informed analysis
This article is exploratory and experimental. It starts from the premise that leadership scholarship is a site of disagreement, where mainstream claims are challenged by critical scholars. Some criticism focuses on conceptual clarity, and incorporates consideration of who should be categorised as a leader, and on what basis, and whether it is helpful to refer to ‘leaders’ and ‘followers’. The ‘new wave’ of critical leadership studies generates co…
Is leadership a myth? A ‘new wave’ critical leadership-focused research agenda for recontouring the landscape of educational leadership
Intentionally provocative, this article identifies weaknesses in mainstream educational leadership scholarship, and draws upon ‘new wave’ critical leadership studies to propose a new, potentially paradigm-shifting, direction for the field. The central argument is that educational leadership researchers, in focusing predominantly on how institutional heads and other formal ‘leaders’ may best ‘do’ leadership, are addressing the wrong questions and …

The worst of times? A tale of two higher education institutions in France
This paper presents the preliminary findings of a case study of the merger of two higher education institutions in France. The paper's main focus is not the politics that gave rise to the institutional merger, nor the rights or wrongs of the decision, nor the merger process itself; rather, it is the extent to and the ways in which these features of the transition combined to touch the working lives of the people affected by it. Data were gathered…
Beasts and Beliefs at Beni Hassan
A recent field survey of the elite Middle Kingdom cemetery at Beni Hassan has revealed many unusual animal motifs, including examples of creatures that are rarely attested in the artistic record and entirely new scenes. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the rich zoological repertoire at the site and its potential to enlighten our understanding of the Egyptians' intriguing relationship with the animal world. These are confirmation of a …

A changing role for university professors? Professorial academic leadership as it is perceived by ‘the led’
This article examines the academic leadership role of university professors in the UK (a grade title which in that national context generally refers only to the most distinguished, senior academics, who equate to the North American full professor). Drawing on theoretical interpretations of professionalism and applying these to professors, it analyses selected preliminary findings from a funded study that explored the nature of professorial academ…
Transforming into a Swallow
Coffin Texts Spell 294 describes the transformation of the deceased into a mn.t -bird. Examination of the passage from a lexical, mythological, and geographical perspective have highlighted the bird’s solar and Hathoric associations, but additional layers of meaning are revealed when textual references are also examined zoologically. This approach has shown that Spell 294 accurately describes the appearance and natural behaviour of migratory and …
Revisiting a Historic Manuscript
Vere L. Huddleston was one of several amateur archaeologists who excavated Caddo sites in Clark County, Arkansas, during the 1930s and 1940s. Huddleston took better notes about the sites and contexts of his finds than many of his contemporaries. His large collection of artifacts is now part of the Joint Educational Consortium’s Hodges Collection in Arkadelphia. A manuscript on his excavations at the East Place – the largest Caddo mound group in C…
The Professional Status of Educational Research
‘How helpful and how necessary is it for at least some of us to see ourselves as professional educational researchers?’ asked Donald McIntyre in his 1996 presidential address to the British Educational Research Association. Still pertinent to consideration of the direction in which the British educational research community ought to focus its development, this question is revisited through examination of whether or not educational research is a p…
The dawn of a new professionalism in the French academy? Academics facing the challenges of change
Using as an analytical framework Evans's conceptualisation of professionalism, this article examines the implications for academic professionalism in the French higher education sector of reforms and significant changes that have evolved over the last few decades, including: the Investissements d'Avenir programme, the Loi de programme pour la recherche, the loi relative aux libertés et responsabilités des universités, increasing massification, an…
The Shedshed of Wepwawet
The shedshed, a curious balloon-shaped object associated with the canine god Wepwawet, has yet to be identified conclusively. Through a comparison of the shedshed with Ancient Egyptian representations of animal burrows, and a consideration of the natural behaviour of canine species, a new interpretation of the symbol as a canid den is offered. Wepwawet's role in Egyptian mythology is reassessed in the light of this hypothesis
The ‘shape’ of teacher professionalism in England
Teacher professionalism in England may be considered to have been shaped by the set of professional standards, and the accompanying statutory performance management system, introduced by the Labour government in 2007. More recently the coalition government's 2010 White Paper, The Importance of Teaching , announced reforms that will potentially re‐shape teacher professionalism. In this article I examine the ‘shape’ of teacher professionalism in En…
Professionalism, Professionality and the Development of Education Professionals
What purpose is served by renovation or redesign of professionalism, and how successful a process is it likely to be? This article addresses these questions by examining the effectiveness as a professional development mechanism of the imposition of changes to policy and/or practice that require modification or renovation of professionalism. The ‘new’ professionalisms purported to have been fashioned over the last two or three decades across the s…
Locked Up, Then Locked Out
Women prisoners face tremendous psychological, emotional, and physical hardships inside prison. These include isolation, separation from their families and children, lack of medical care and general abuse of their basic human rights. When they are released from prison, women confront institutional as well as psychological barriers to a successful return to their communities

The practicalities involved in the introduction of school‐administered initial teacher education in the United Kingdom
In September 1993 a Government initiative to allow consortia of schools to set up one‐year secondary teacher training programmes for graduates became operational in England and Wales. This school consortium‐administered teacher training, provided that it was validated by a higher education institution, led to the recognized postgraduate certification in education, which had previously only been attainable on higher education‐administered courses.…

Comparisons Among Heterosexual, Bisexual, and Homosexual Male Sado-Masochists
Between 1982 and 1984 a questionnaire designed to elicit demographic and behavioral information concerning individuals who participate in sadomasochism (S&M) was distributed nationally. Data from 136 heterosexual, 45 bisexual, and 91 homosexual male sadomasochists (N = 272) were analyzed. Similarities and differences among these three groups in response to 15 of the 40 questions asked concerning age and manner of first S&M interest, openness with…

Obstacles to Federal Tax Reform
An exploratory inquiry was conducted to identify legislative goals of Washington-based tax reformers and to learn bow a small group of taxpayers (n = 54) from various socio-economic backgrounds felt about some of these goals. On a general level most informants claimed they supported elimination of tax loopholes. However, on a more specific level informants tended not to see any tax provision they used to avoid taxes as a "loophole," According to …
The Political Influence of Older Americans
This essay explores the future prospects for the political influence of older Americans. Some analysts contend that the next fifty years will bring a marked increase in the political influence of the elderly. Others argue that the aged are unlikely to become a significant political influence at any time in the forseeable future. We review the relevant evidence and conclude that it is not entirely consistent with either of these positions. Our ana…

The Underside of Public Policy for the Old
The changing work of infant teachers
The first comprises key empirical studies in this country (egs. Hilsum & Cane, 1971; Hilsum & Strong, 1978), which mapped out baseline data on the working days of junior and secondary school teachers. The studies were influential in dispelling the myth of teaching as a 'nine-to-four' job, primarily because they showed that a substantial proportion of working time was spent out of contact with pupils. However, the data are twenty years old, and th…
