  • Tipping points and farmer decision-making in European permanent grassland (PG) agricultural systems

    Open AccessSophie Tindale, Yiying Cao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2024Cited by: 1References: 4

    Permanent grasslands (PG) provide multifunctional ecosystem services (ES) in Europe and globally, which are threatened by both increased farming intensity and land use change in marginal areas. Farm management decisions can represent critical thresholds, or behavioural “tipping points”, in the agricultural system. Decisions are influenced by a combination of agronomic, policy and social factors. Transformation of PG systems can be facilitated thr…

  • Grambank reveals the importance of genealogical constraints on linguistic diversity and highlights the impact of language loss

    Hedvig Skirgård, Hannah J Haynie et al.PREPRINT2022

    While global patterns of human genetic diversity are increasingly well characterized, the diversity of human languages remains less systematically described. Here we outline the Grambank database. With over 400,000 data points and 2,400 languages, Grambank is the largest comparative grammatical database available. The comprehensiveness of Grambank allows us to quantify the relative effects of genealogical inheritance and geographic proximity on t…

  • Re-Mapping Centre and Periphery

    Open AccessJoris Van Eijnatten, Melissa North et al.BOOKRe-Mapping Centre and Periphery2019References: 23

    Historians often assume a one-directional transmission of knowledge and ideas, leading to the establishment of spatial hierarchies defined as centres and peripheries. In recent decades, transnational and global history have contributed to a more inclusive understanding of intellectual and cultural exchanges that profoundly challenged the ways in which we draw our mental maps. \n \nCovering the early modern and modern periods, Re-Mapping Centre an…

  • Epistemology As Ethics In Research And Policy: The Use of Case Studies

    Open AccessJohn Elliott, Dominik LukešARTICLEJournal of Philosophy of Education2008Cited by: 5References: 6

    This article examines the ethnographic case study in education in the context of policy making with particular emphasis on the practice of research and policy making. The central claim of the article is that it is impossible to establish a transcendental epistemology of the case study on instrumental rationality. Instead it argues for the notion of situated judgement that needs to be made by practitioners in context, practitioners being both rese…

    John Elliott, John H ElliottARTICLEJournal for the Study of the…2007

    Distinguishing between insider and outsider groups and their differing nomenclatures is essential for accurate interpretation and translation. Jesus and his earliest followers, evidence demonstrates, were called `Israelites', `Galileans' or `Nazoreans' by their fellow Israelites. `Israel', `Israelites' were the preferred terms of self-designation among members of the house of Israel when addressing other members—not `'Ιουδαιος', `Jew' or `Judaism…

  • Assessing the quality of action research

    John ElliottARTICLEResearch Papers in Education2007References: 10

    This contribution constitutes an attempt to distil quality criteria for assessing educational action research from examples of action research that the author has directly experienced in the course of his career. As such it effects a reconciliation between the idea of quality as an object of direct and immediate experience and as an object of more distanced criterial thinking and measurement. The author grounds the criteria in a number of narrati…

  • Educational Research as a Form of Democratic Rationality

    Open AccessJohn ElliottARTICLEJournal of Philosophy of Education2006Cited by: 3References: 4

    Educational Research is commonly regarded as a rational pursuit aimed at the production of objective knowledge. Researchers are expected to avoid value bias by detaching themselves from the normative conceptions of education that shape practice in schools and classrooms, and by casting themselves in the role of the impartial spectator. It is assumed that, as a rational pursuit, educational research is not directly concerned with changing practice…

    John ElliottARTICLEThe English Historical Review2006

    During the thirty-seven years between the signing of the Treaty of Vervins in 1598 and the French declaration of war on the Spain of Philip IV in 1635, France and Spain were officially at peace.

    This paper outlines the ways in which successive UK governments have regulated and controlled the teaching profession since the 1980s.

New developments in government thinking are considered, developments which may create greater autonom…

  • The limits of historical knowledge

    Open AccessJohn ElliottARTICLEEuropean Review2003

    This paper sets out the limitations of knowledge from the past and the ways that knowledge can be used. The first part deals with the extent to which the past can be known and raises questions about the survival of evidence and also about the ways evidence is interpreted. The second part looks briefly at possible uses of the past and suggests, in particular, the importance of new interpretations challenging the received wisdom and thus giving soc…

  • Making Evidence‐based Practice Educational

    Open AccessJohn ElliottARTICLEBritish Educational Research…2001Cited by: 11References: 7

    The article examines David Hargreaves's ideas about the nature of ‘evidence‐based practice’ and the future direction for educational research. The first section explores Hargreaves's attempt to free an ‘engineering model’ of educational research, aimed at the production of actionable knowledge, from a naive and crude positivism. It draws on McIntyre's philosophical account of the character of generalisations in social science to question whether …
