Reimagining early childhood education with an urban preschool network: A U.S. partnership to drive greater equity
In March 2020, AppleTree Institute sent 1,100 children and 100 teachers home from its nine Washington, D.C. preschools, following Mayor Muriel Bowser’s call to slow the virus’ spread.More than 80
Between Grief and Grievance: Memories of Jews in France and the Klaus Barbie Trial
Working between the Amos Gitai film One Day You’ll Understand (2008) and the 1987 Klaus Barbie trial against which it is set, the article explores how the trial marked a decisive turning point in France’s relationship to its wartime past. Of Barbie’s hundreds of crimes, including murder, torture, rape, and deportation, only those of the gravest nature, 41 separate counts of crimes against humanity, were pursued in the French court in Lyon. Not on…
I am not living next door to no zombie: Posthumans and Prejudice
Posthumanist film and television is both a vehicle for reflection on discrimination and prejudice and a means of gratifying in fantasy deeply imbedded human impulses towards prejudice. Discrimination lies at the heart of posthuman narratives whenever the posthuman coalesces around an identifiable group in conflict with humans. We first introduce the idea of prejudice as a form of psychological defense, contrasting it with other accounts of prejud…
Diagnosis without treatment: Responding to the War on Terror
The War on Terror has exposed deep problems within contemporary political practice. It has demonstrated the moral fragility of liberal democracy. Much critical literature on the topic is devoted to uncovering the sources of this fragility. In this paper, we accept the general thrust of much of this literature, but turn our attention to the practical upshot of the criticism. A common feature of the literature is that, when it comes to offering rem…

Politics Most Unusual: Violence, Sovereignty and Democracy in the `War on Terror'
How has 9/11 and the declaration of the 'global war on terror' changed our conceptions of politics? How has it affected our understanding of democracy, personal freedom and government accountability? In answering these and other questions, the authors engage in a comprehensive and critical analysis of politics in the age of terrorism.

In the introduction to Geography and Ethics: Journeys in a Moral Terrain, Proctorclaims that ‘there is a strong resonance among all the essays [in the edited volume] as to thegeographical embeddedness of ethics, an argument made implicitly or explicitly that geographymatters in finding clarifications of, or solutions to, ethical questions’. There is no doubt thatgeography, broadly enough construed, can function so as to clarify not only ethical q…
Sacred Cows and the Changing Face of Discourse on Terrorism: Cranking it Up a Notch
Ethicists working in either ‘just war’ and/or ‘human rights’ traditions continue to be embroiled with the definition of terrorism and the question of whether terrorism can ever be morally justified; obsessed with non-combatant immunity and criteria for distinguishing combatants from non-combatants; and examining ‘the doctrine of double effect’. The move to other issues has, however, been embraced by those who initiated it since 9/11, those with n…
A Branded World: Adventures in Public Relations and the Creation of Superbrands
"A Branded World looks at branding from the unique perspective of one of America's premier PR executives. In it, Michael Levine - whose clients include major Hollywood stars and top musicians - proves PR is a tool just as effective at turning everyday products into widely recognized brands as it is at turning talented artists into household names. Though it has a certain mystery to it, there's nothing mystical about PR. Behind the scenes, it's a …
God Speak
Nicholas Wolterstorff has recently defended the acceptability of the belief that God speaks and examined various implications of such a belief. This paper examines several of his major hermeneutical and epistemological thesis. Among the issues discussed are the following (i) I examine Wolterstorff's claim to ‘honour’ the results of biblical criticism, and argue that excavative biblical scholarship challenges the plausibility of various crucial as…
Appearance and reality: Misinterpreting Śa[ndot]kara
Betty claims that Sahkara's philosophy [and non‐dualism generally] fails definitively at the point where he leaves the human experience—“sin and suffering”—unaccounted for’. It is because Sahkara sees sin and suffering as ultimately illusory that Betty claims he leaves sin and suffering unaccounted for. However, Betty misconstrues Sahkara's view in the worst way possible. It is precisely because Sahkara seeks to account for sin and suffering, to …
Swinburne's Heaven: One Hell of a Place
Discussions of immortality have tended to focus on the nature of personal identity and, in a related way, the mind/body problem. (i) Who is that is going to survive, and (ii) is it possible to survive bodily destruction? There has been far less discussion of what immortality would be like; e.g. the nature of heaven. Richard Swinburne, however, has recently discussed ‘heaven’, and has constructed a novel theodicy fundamentally based on his concept…
Single and Repeated Admissions to a Mental Health Center: Demographic, Clinical and Use of Service Characteristics
Eight hundred and forty one patients with 1,135 consecutive admissions to a university-affiliated mental health center were studied to examine patterns of treatment program use. Twenty two percent of patients had repeat admissions accounting for 42% of hospital episodes. Single admission and repeater groups are compared, and differences among repeater subgroups with progressively greater numbers of admissions per patient are described. Only 10 pa…
