Using online learner trace data to understand the cohesion of teams in higher education
Implementing next generation privacy and ethics research in education technology
For the developers of next‐generation education technology (EdTech), the use of Learning Analytics (LA) is a key competitive advantage as the use of some form of LA in EdTech is fast becoming ubiquitous. At its core LA involves the use of Artificial Intelligence and Analytics on the data generated by technology‐mediated learning to gain insights into how students learn, especially for large cohorts, which was unthinkable only a few decades ago.

Portrait: J. D. Y. Peel
Sub-Saharan Africa is frequently, but unjustly, seen as the periphery of the Muslim world, in terms of both geography and religious influence.By contrast, North Africa is considered to be directly linked to the alleged center of the Muslim world, that is, the Arab Middle East.In fact, Islam has had a presence in sub-Saharan Africa since the earliest days of its history.This chapter tries to redress the periphery bias in the analysis of African Mu…
Destroying arguments and captivating thoughts: Spiritual warfare prayer as global praxis
This paper focuses on contemporary charismatic Christian practices of spiritual warfare and its techniques of warfare prayer. The paradigm of "global spiritual warfare" with its apocalyptic visions, violent language and its obsession with enemies, appears as a particularly polemical instance of Christian supersessionism and expansionism. Drawing on material from Nigeria and the United States, I briefly explore two related axes in order to bring t…
Christianity, Anthropology, Politics
In this article I engage with the conceptual difficulties that studying Christianity poses for anthropology, revisiting and expanding on the critical moves made in the development of the subfield, especially in debates among Robbins, Haynes, Cannell, Garriott, and O'Neill. In particular, I consider the theoretical challenges and the political implications involved in elaborating an adequate concept of Christianity or the Christian. I argue that s…
An Author Meets Her Critics
In the now very rapidly growing literature on Pentecostalism in Africa, Ruth Marshall’s book occupies a special place. In disciplinary terms, most of that literature falls under religious studies or history. The anthropologists came later, particularly those from North America, who had to get over their distaste for a religion that seemed so saturated in the idioms of the US Bible Belt. The originality of Marshall’s book is grounded in its linkag…
The Sovereignty of Miracles: Pentecostal Political Theology in Nigeria1
Political Spiritualities: The Pentecostal Revolution in Nigeria
Ruth Marshall's Political Spiritualities examines the rise of Pentecostalism in Nigeria and its complex relationship with politics. Marshall argues that Pentecostalism, far from being a monolithic force, offers a diverse range of spiritualities that interact with political power in varied and often contradictory ways. The book explores how Pentecostal churches provide spaces for social and political critique, while simultaneously engaging in prac…
L'explosion des pentecôtismes
Le miracle est à la théologie ce que l'État d'exception est à la politique. » Religion de convertis aux accents apocalyptiques, le pentecôtisme peut aussi bien accompagner la prospérité économique que réparer les malheurs du corps et de l'esprit
La France en Côte d'Ivoire: L'Interventionnisme À l'Épreuve Des Faits
Véritable architecte de l'intervention militaire et diplomatique en Côte d'Ivoire, la France s'est trouvée doublement piégée. Seul pays désireux d'intervenir, elle s'est vue bloquée par l'incapacité de la communauté internationale - et en premier lieu africaine - de multilatéraliser la gestion de la crise, et, surtout, elle a été rattrapée par son lourd héritage postcolonial et par son incapacité à rompre avec une vision sclérosée du continent. E…
‘God is not a Democrat’ Pentecostalism and Democratisation in Nigeria
‘Power in the Name of Jesus’: Social Transformation and Pentecostalism in Western Nigeria ‘Revisited’
One of the most remarkable recent trends in Nigeria has been the rapid rise to religious and social prominence of the so-called ‘charismatic’ or ‘pentecostal’ Christian movement. In the space of little more than a decade, thousands of new churches and evangelical groups have cropped up in the cities and towns of the south. Those established earlier, either by American and British missionaries or Nigerians are experiencing an unprecedented revival…
