Open letter
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature. By providing independent, site-based verification and engaging local experts, TGBS builds trust, transparency and equity in restoration practice. Its adoption cou…
De Rhéal Cenerini
1818 de Rhéal Cenerini : histoire métisse, hétérogénéité culturelle et devoir de réconciliation. Un article de la revue Cahiers franco-canadiens de l'Ouest (Les langages identitaires : dynamiques et conditions d’expression en francophonies minoritaires) diffusée par la plateforme Érudit
‘Oh, Hello Word!’ Boundary Crossing Between Swedish and English
This essay reports on the findings of a study of Swedish teenagers who have a free-time interest of creative writing in English. The essay includes extracts from interviews in which the participants explain their motivations to start their writing activity and continue with it over a longer period. Having been inspired initially by a desire to imitate and adapt stories they had read, the teenagers’ interest in writing became a vehicle to help the…
Under the skin
Physiological adaptations to external stressors can reveal socio‐cognitive health in infancy. With the use of thermal imaging and behavioural analyses, the current study examined the arousal markers accompanying infants’ interactions with a familiar and an unfamiliar person. To address the current research question, the mother and a complete stranger interacted with 2 to 3 month‐old infants (N= 10, 2 boys)in three different conditions: Neutral , …
Science by streetlight and the OECD’s measure of global competence
Educational institutions have been among the most active social organisations responding to and facilitating processes associated with globalisation. This has primarily been undertaken through the attempts of schools and universities to ‘internationalise’ their student intake, staffing, curricula, research, and assessment systems. Amongst the many benefits associated with the promotion of ‘internationalisation’ is that it will provide students wi…
Temporal and Spiritual Self-Reliance
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church, aka, the Mormons) plays a significant but largely neglected role in the literature on development in the Pacific. The aim of this paper is to address this lacuna and highlight the distinctive LDS theology of development without which their development agendas make little sense. The Pacific is pivotal to the LDS Church’s global mission where its commitments to development, and emergency …
Neoliberalism, internationalisation and higher education
We explore the role of neoliberalism within portrayals of internationalisation in higher education (HE). Through an analysis of four features of internationalisation, we suggest that they embody a complex entanglement of neoliberal categories and assumptions with other, primarily progressive humanitarian ideals. This framing of internationalisation has three affects. One, humanitarian ideals coupled with neoliberal categories normalise inequaliti…
Lifelong learning, income inequality and social mobility in Singapore
Singapore has been assigned the role of a ‘model’ nation state primarily for two reasons: its rapid rate of economic growth and its outstanding performance on cross-national tests of educational achievement, such as PISA. This has resulted in advocates of reform citing it as illustrating ‘best practices’, especially in the field of education, and it has more generally been viewed as demonstrating the benefits of economic globalization. This paper…
Police officers’ perceptions of interviews in cases of sexual offences and murder involving children and adult victims
This paper examines 90 UK police officers’ perceptions of characteristics of interviews with suspects of rape and murder involving child and adult victims. Officers rated their beliefs about how stressful they would find such interviews, the importance of confessions, their likely emotional involvement and how much empathy they would show towards the suspect. Murder cases were reported to be more stressful than rape, and confessions were deemed t…
Imagining Japan in Post-war East Asia
In the decades since her defeat in the Second World War, Japan has continued to loom large in the national imagination of many of her East Asian neighbours. While for many, Japan still conjures up images of rampant military brutality, at different times and in different communities, alternative images of the Japanese ‘Other’ have vied for predominance – in ways that remain poorly understood, not least within Japan itself. Imagining Japan in Postw…
Risk and Utopia
The utopian promise of porn is one of carnal intensity, sexual abundance, and pleasure. Building on Richard Dyer's discussion of the utopian aspects of entertainment, this article expands his conceptualization to contemporary pornography and the gay bareback subculture in particular. Structured as a dialogue between a gay bareback porn producer and a media studies scholar, it explores the sexual politics of barebacking, the notion of risk in gay …
Global Citizenship
The promotion of 'Global Citizenship' (hereafter GC) has emerged as a goal of schooling in many countries, symbolising a shift away from national towards more global conceptions of citizenship. It currently incorporates a proliferation of approaches and terminologies, mirroring both the diverse conceptions of its nature and the socio-politico contexts within which it is appropriated. This paper seeks to clarify this ambiguity by identifying and m…
Pick ’n’ mix, select and project; policy borrowing and the quest for ‘world class’ schooling
Education reform is increasingly portrayed as a quest to achieve a ‘world class’ education system through a process of identifying and adopting the practices of those systems whose pupils perform best in league tables of achievement. This is the rationale for the range of new policies proposed by the coalition government in the schools White Paper published in November 2010, which promotes whole-system reform in England. This article examines the…
Towards a framework for critical citizenship education
Increasingly, countries around the world are promoting forms of ‘critical’ citizenship in the planned curricula of schools. However, the intended meaning behind this term varies markedly and can range from a set of abstract and technical skills under the label ‘critical thinking’ to a desire to encourage engagement, action and political emancipation, often labelled ‘critical pedagogy’. This article distinguishes these manifestations of the ‘criti…
Curriculum, Schooling and Society in Hong Kong
The book presents a specific analysis of the Hong Kong school curriculum and highlights the ways in which the curriculum both reflects and changes in response to broader socio-political shifts
Participants Don’t Need Theories
The theory-theory is not supported by evidence in the everyday actions of infants and toddlers whose lives a Theory of Mind is meant radically to transform. This paper reviews some of these challenges to the theory-theory, particularly from communication and deception. We argue that the theory’s disconnection from action is both inevitable and paradoxical. The mind–behaviour dualism upon which it is premised requires a conceptual route to knowing…
Teaching in Hong Kong
This article traces the processes for encouraging and/or ensuring the accountability of teachers in Hong Kong. It is argued that, if examined historically, the nature of teacher accountability has been determined by the government, whose approach has been ambivalent and paradoxical. Up until the mid‐1980s, through inertia and non‐decisions, the low level of professionalization of teaching was reinforced. Subsequently, from the late 1980s onwards,…
Reading Nabokov Whole
Vladimir Nabokov's startling brilliance as an author has frequently been captured in the image of a conjurer. In this constellation, Nabokov is a writer capable of pulling intricate thematic and verbal rabbits out of textual hats and of magically turning the limpid water of his prose into the headiest of poetic wines. As an object of critical inquiry, however, a perhaps more fitting metaphor for Nabokov is that of the escape artist. Throughout th…
Educational reform and policy implementation in Hong Kong
Research on implementation around the world indicates that many educational reforms designed to improve the quality of schooling have been more rhetorical than substantive in their impact on the organisation of schools and classrooms (Weiler, 1998; Schools and classrooms do change, but the extent and direction of change is not always consistent with the intentions of policy initiatives. The same applies in Hong Kong, where a substantial body of l…

Funding for schools from the customary sources has become more difficult and schools are having to raise funds through schemes involving community and commercial support. This guide explains everything that schools need to know about funding, including;*researching funds available*commercial funding*government funding*European funding initiatives*business sponsorships*how to enter local partnerships*…

The management of participation in the policy‐making process
In 1984 the Education Commission was established as a quasi governmental body to advise on all aspects of education policy in the colony. Within the Hong Kong context the Education Commission's establishment was novel for it created a single body to advise on all aspects of education policy and it involved a greater degree of public participation in the policy making process. This paper examines the motives for its establishment, the means by whi…
Curriculum patterns and issues in East Asia
Drawing on selected literature about education in seven East Asian countries which have shown remarkable economic development since the Second World War, this paper considers how the nature of the curriculum in those countries might have contributed to their economic growth. The systems are presented as highly centralized, each with a curriculum component promoting national goals. Four other common themes emerge from the analysis: the nature of t…

Teachers' perceptions of the barriers to the implementation of a pedagogic innovation
The embodied text
Whilst body-metaphors play a major part in the self-understanding of many religious traditions and such metaphorical themes are found in Judaism, there is a dominant Jewish tradition which links the human body with the text of the Torah. This article examines the correspondences drawn in rabbinic literature between body and the Torah-text, concentrating on the tradition of the identification of the component parts of the human body with the compo…
