Peanut butter salvation
In contemporary conservation discourse, an uncomfortable distinction exists between the foreign organisations invested in protected areas and the surrounding ‘local communities’. Specifically, this dichotomy seems to reinforce a stereotypical set of imagined stakeholders, ultimately promoting Euro-American conservation experts as the instructors of uninformed residents in wild areas. This paper presents publications on two community-based conserv…
An Investigation Into the Understanding and Skills of First-Year Electrical Engineering Students
In response to demands from industry and the profession for more graduates, first-year engineering numbers have grown considerably over the last decade, matched by an increasing diversity of academic backgrounds. In order to support first-year students effectively, and ensure the courses they take remain appropriately pitched, the academic preparedness of these students must be determined. Since 2007, the lecturers in the compulsory first-year El…
Another piece for the verbal -s story
This article aims to contribute (1) new data on verbal -s by systematically examining its behavior in Devon English (DE), a variety spoken in southwest England, and (2) a broader historical and cross-dialectal perspective for understanding the origin and function of verbal -s in nonstandard varieties of English in North America. We focus on the linguistic contexts of its occurrence from the diachronic and synchronic literature. The results show t…

Economic variables and rural‐urban migration
Does Todaro's probabilistic permanent income approach offer a useful starting‐point in the search for an explanation of changes in the rate of net rural‐urban migration over time ? Ghana's experience in the Nkrumah era does not seem to be consistent with the Todaro hypothesis. This may be because the hypothesis excludes certain important variables (particularly educational change) and mis‐specifies the economic variables. It may be however, that …
The brain drain from low‐income countries
In the absence of adequate data on the brain drain from low‐income countries economists have had to be content with erecting an analytical framework and taking up preliminary positions on the issue. This paper attempts a critical review of thes positions against the background of such knowledge as is available. The value‐judgment underlying the ‘internationalists’ dismissal of the problem is identified, and the assumptions behind the argument tha…
Labor-Surplus Models and Labor-Deficit Economies
The Economics of an African University
THE case for taking a careful look at educational expenditure in African countries rests simply on its size, in relation to government expenditure as a whole and to national income. As Table I (overleaf) shows, most African governments devote a considerably higher proportion of their total spending to education than does, for instance, the British Government
