Social media and pre-service teachers’ apprenticeships of observation
Before pre-service teachers (PSTs) enter educator preparation programs, their experiences as K-12 students shape their understanding of teaching. Additionally, many aspiring teachers are exposed via social media to ideas, resources, and narratives about teachers and teaching. To help explore and conceptualize how social media may be adding to PSTs’ knowledge and expectations of teaching, we interviewed 28 PSTs about factors, experiences, and role…
Practitioner perspectives on nature-based learning for autistic children
Despite the documented benefits of nature-based learning (NBL), research around the use of NBL with autistic children from a strengths-based perspective remains sparse. To understand how practitioners perceive the experience of engaging in NBL with autistic children, we interviewed 14 practitioners from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Using reflexive thematic analysis and framed through the neurodiversity paradigm, we developed thr…
Is South Africa afflicted by the resource curse
South Africa may be afflicted by Dutch Disease; we present quantitative evidence that supports this hypothesis, at least in part. • If this diagnosis is correct, then it follows that certain key policy recommendations be followed, such as urgent economic diversification, political reform and financial transparency improvements. • While South Africa is not, according to our quantitative examination, afflicted by other dimensions of the resource cu…
Moving towards inclusion and connection: Practitioners’ Conceptualisations of Walking Pedagogy
The messy middle: An exploratory study of adolescent environmentalists in North Carolina
Today’s adolescents have grown up with technology as a main element in their lives and are particularly susceptible to experiencing mental health challenges, so-called nature-deficit disorder, and eco-anxiety around the climate crisis. This unique developmental context may necessitate a reconceptualising of adolescents’ relationships with the environment including their connection to nature. We identified nine adolescents from North Carolina who …

“Are these girl ladybugs or boy ladybugs?”: An exploratory study on gender in nature-based education
In this exploratory study, we examined the ways gender is communicated, experienced, and constructed in nature-based education (NBE), which involved 30 h of fieldwork at one private outdoor preschool and two public elementary school garden clubs. In our analysis of the data, we found four sites where gender socialization happens in NBE: materials, spaces, conversations, and educators. While gender may be communicated, experienced, and constructed…

Culturally responsive teacher education: Do we practice what we preach
Research on culturally informed pedagogies (e.g., culturally relevant pedagogy, culturally sustaining teaching, reality pedagogy) has been ongoing for decades, yet very few studies follow teachers into their classrooms after they are introduced to the topic. We conducted an intrinsic case study of three practicing maths teachers after they completed a graduate course specifically on culturally responsive teaching. Our analysis of the data reveale…
“I just want to stay out there all day”: A Case Study of Two Special Educators and Five Autistic Children Learning Outside at School
School is often stressful for autistic students. Similarly, special educators are susceptible to burnout because of the unique demands of their jobs. There is ample evidence that spending time outside, particularly in nature, has many positive effects on mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. In this case study of two special educators and five autistic students in a social skills group at an elementary school in the southeastern United State…
Decoding gender in nature-based education: Perceptions of environmental educators
In this qualitative study, we interviewed 20 environmental educators from six countries about their perceptions of gender in their work with children in nature. While many agreed that the physical environment seemed to bring fewer gendered cues to learning and allowed for more independent exploration, their responses also reflected limited confidence in drawing conclusions about the presence and influence of gender in nature-based education. Disc…

Everyday environmental education: Five practices of ecologically minded teachers
In this article, I report the findings from a qualitative study involving seven ecologically minded teachers who participated in a Critical Friends Group. Ecologically minded teachers are not necessarily trained or required to teach about environmental issues, yet they do so because of their values and beliefs. The participants shared the following five practices: exposing externalities, emphasizing active learning, providing multiple perspective…
Reframing Westernized culture: Insights from a Critical Friends Group on EcoJustice education
In this article I report the findings of an intrinsic case study involving seven ecologically minded teachers who participated in a Critical Friends Group (CFG) for five months. The topic of our discussions was EcoJustice education, which involves analyzing and reframing Westernized culture. Findings are focused on how the participants grappled with what EcoJustice education means and their affective responses to both the content and the professi…
Islam in the Balance: Ideational Threats in Arab Politics By Lawrence Rubin
This book adds to and extends the international relations (IR) theory literature on what could be colloquially described as wars of words (rather than weapons). Lawrence Rubin builds upon the work of IR scholars such as Stephen M. Walt, Steven David, Malik Mufti, Michael Barnett and March Lynch, Mark Haas, and F. Gregory Gause III in elevating ideological conflict and competition to the plane of international security. The chief merit of this boo…
At Freedom’s Limit: Islam and the Postcolonial Predicament By Sadia Abbas
This is a work of literary criticism; Sadia Abbas selects works of art, literature, film and other media and popular culture emanating principally from Europe and the US, and South Asia and the Middle East. She presents these texts and images as the most intricate and complex evidence of ‘a new “Islam”’ (p. 1). According to her account this new form of Islam began around 1988 with the condemnation of Salman Rushdie (‘the Rushdie affair’, p. 1) an…

Muslim Selbstverständnis: Ahmet Davutoğlu Answers Husserl’s Crisis of European Sciences
In formulating his understanding of Islamic history, thought and politics, the Turkish Muslim thinker Ahmet Davutolu adopts the German philosopher Edmund Husserl's formulation of phenomenology -or, philosophy of consciousness. Both Husserl and Davutolu perceive a crisis in humanity and identify its causes in scientism and logical positivism, against which they develop their respective phenomenological alternatives. This article places in parallel…
Redefining the Indirect Approach, Defining Special Operations Forces (SOF) Power, and the Global Networking of SOF
The current Defense Strategy assigns Special Operations Forces (SOF) to play a central role in countering terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and irregular warfare. However, there has been little published that defines the role of Special Operations alongside air, land, and sea domains. The U.S. Special Operations Community struggles to define its own theoretical concepts such as direct approach and indirect approach. The U.S. SOF circles typ…
Islamic Banking and Financial Crisis: Reputation, Stability and Risks Edited by Habib Ahmed, Mehmet Asutay and Rodney Wilson
One of the opportunities arising out of the economic crisis that commenced in 2008 is the analysis of how banking and financial systems and institutions within and between countries and world regions responded to multiple and unanticipated risks materializing simultaneously. The principal regulatory and prudential lessons drawn by central banks and policy-makers are contained in the Third Basel Accords which deal with capital adequacy, market liq…
Secularizing Islamists? Jama'at-e-Islami and Jama'at-ud-Da'wa in Urban Pakistan By Humeira Iqtidar
The reviewer need not agree with the book’s author about the precise import of the book in order to find together with other readers and (most probably also) with the author that the book is both important and interesting. To put the point slightly more severely an author may be mistaken about the value of the book without being mistaken in believing that the book is a contribution of value. This reviewer found an abundance in this book that was …

Avoid the Banking Model in Social and Environmental Justice Education: Interrogate the Tensions
In this article, we argue that when teaching about and for social and environmental justice, teachers need to move beyond promoting individual behavior changes as a primary means to counter complex, global problems. Further, we advocate for a more robust strategy for teaching about and for social and environmental justice that not only raises awareness about oppression, inequality, and destruction, but also, and more importantly, interrogates how…

Os Turcos: The Syrian-Lebanese community of São Paulo, Brazil
This article aims to portray aspects of the contemporary cultural ethos of the Arab diaspora community of São Paulo, Brazil. Because the initial waves of immigration from the Middle East to Brazil began before the dissolution of the Ottoman empire, immigrants arrived in Brazil with Ottoman identity documents, earning them the appellation ‘Turk’. The broader Brazilian society continues to apply the title ‘turco’ to these individuals of immigrant o…

The Political Thought of Hasan al-Turab I of Sudan
This paper explicates major aspects of Hasan al-Turab I 's political thought and suggests that his work presents an important theoretical model of an Islamic state and politics. Most significant is his conception of several key Islamic ideas. It argues that his underlying interpretive approach to Islamic sources has substantive implications for his political thought, specifically in its capacity to encourage critical re-examination of traditional…

The Middle East: The Politics of the Sacred and the Secular By SHAHROUGH Akhavi
This book is one in a series that undertakes the sorely needed task of extending the boundaries of conventional Western political theory into the realm of ‘World Political Theories’, with Shahrough Akhavi's contribution delineated by the boundaries of the Middle East. This book represents an advance in the secondary literature on the intellectual life of the modern Middle East in that it treats its subject as theory, with potentially universaliza…
