International student interns
A substantial literature already exists in international students’ study experience, but since relatively less exploration has occurred into their involvement in work-integrated learning it was considered desirable to further develop what is known about this area. Still less is known about how organisational hosts of international interns regard the purpose or outcomes of their placements. In the present study involving 16 US students interning i…
Dystopic pasts
Sometimes insights into the future, including possible dystopic futures, may be gleaned from examining dystopic pasts. Early European settlement in Aotearoa New Zealand, including the arrival of new diseases for which the people had no defences, created many dystopic outcomes for Māori. However, Māori realized how European technologies, including literacy, could be usefully adopted and adapted. By the early 1800s, probably more Māori were print l…
Managers’ literacy and orality
For more than 50 years, scholars of managerial behaviour have described the oral more than print-oriented character of managers’ everyday worlds. Managers engage in almost incessant interpersonal interaction, seeking out oral communication with others and neglecting or mistrusting print sources of information. However, recently a revolution in workplace processes and communication has been occurring with the emergence of digitized, Internet-enabl…
The mischievous, multifarious machinations of trickster Trump
The emergence of President Donald Trump on the US political stage has generated divergent and incompatible theories about his popularity. This article proposes that the figure of the trickster from antiquity and from more recent times as revealed within a diverse array of academic fields of literature provides insights into Trump’s public persona and appeal. While the various fields do not always share epistemological assumptions, nevertheless co…
Trump's populism, la trahison des clercs and embracing dissent
This article explores President Trump's populist politics and its implications for scholars in communication studies, examining how Trump's supporters need to be better understood within their own context. The thinking of Laclau, Mouffe and others, based particularly on observations of European populism, is employed to shed light on how populist social trends may undermine the legitimacy of rational public discourse and foster public acceptance o…
Young adult literacy learners describe the text–orality nexus
Research has described the importance of orality at work and in everyday life but little agreement currently exists on how to theorize modern orality. This study explores how young adult literacy learners thought about and employed their textual (print) literacy within the oral contexts of their lives. We interviewed 88 mainly unemployed young persons undertaking literacy training to assess how their literacy fitted within their everyday lives, e…
When words fail us
This article describes a use of visual imagery in research reporting that helps to emphasize the human and social dimensions of research issues and encourage different ways of thinking about the findings and implications. During the literature review, in order to establish the authors’ longitudinal research into adult literacy, they observed that research participants’ own perspectives and rich life-worlds were usually invisible in final reports …
Risk, trust and knowledge networks in farmers’ learning
Crossing fields
There are increasing opportunities for researchers to work in multi-disciplinary research teams; however, the extensive literature on research practice barely refers to the challenges inherent in this approach. The article describes the experience of a multi-disciplinary team which was engaged in investigating the nature of technological learning in relation to productivity improvement in the dairy farming industry in New Zealand. The largely qua…
