Transforming Culture
Synonyms for Engagement
This article examines the path toward engagement at the university level, college level, and departmental level at the University of North Texas (UNT). We explore the history of concepts such as public service, applied research, service learning, outreach, and community engagement at UNT by examining the university's strategic goals and the expansion of new programs. We highlight the tensions that emerge from inconsistencies in strategic goals at…
The Potential of History within the School Curriculum in England for Developing and Enhancing the Understanding of being a Citizen in the Twenty-First Century, with an Emphasis on the Later Primary Ex…
The aim behind this research was to investigate how pupils in an English middle school between the ages of 9 and 12 were beginning to understand the term ‘Citizenship’ within the context of their taught History sessions. The authors were keen to not only elicit their views and understanding, but also to see what patterns and issues were emerging which shed some light on how the teaching of Citizenship through History, in particular, was impacting…

Given that the issue of Values is currently being discussed within the framework of …
Field Projects and the Dilemma of Distance
The challenges of online teaching are many and difficult. An important challenge for an applied anthropology graduate program is how to provide the students with a valid, team, field experience. In this article the authors discuss the many issues they are finding in constructing a virtual ethnographic field experience. Both authors teach a course in the online program which requires such a field experience, and both have taught their courses in t…
Women and conflict transformation
At first glance it would appear that despite women's vital participation in peace-making processes, they are for the most part marginalised or belittled. However, moving away from the idea of women as outsiders and/or victims, we find evidence of their involvement in projects initiated and driven by them and/or in activities in which they work in equal roles alongside men. Many women in conflict areas are advocating and working effectively with a…
Delivering Citizenship through the History National Curriculum in England
This article considers how citizenship education can be forwarded through the curriculum in a primary school context. It specifically looks at how History teaching through a module of work in the National Curriculum (England and Wales) can be used as a vehicle for developing the concepts inherent within citizenship. It focuses on work with upper Key Stage Two pupils (aged 10 to 11) in a state primary school with a view to seeing how far they can …
