Called to teach? The contribution of positive psychology constructs in the retention of secondary school teachers in England
Despite low wellbeing and high attrition in the sector, many teachers remain in the profession so there is value in understanding factors that predict retention. The purpose of this research is to measure a range of implicit belief variables and contextual factors predicting Wellbeing, Resilience, and Intention to Quit, in secondary schoolteachers in England. A sample of 279 secondary schoolteachers completed an online survey measuring contextual…
Species-Being and Capital
This paper compares Marx's first conception of capital, in 1844, to his conception of the modern political state in 1843. It argues that in 1843 Marx conceives the modern democratic state as realising human 'species-being', that is, the universality and freedom inherent in human nature, but only in the form of 'abstract' universality and freedom, and therefore inadequately. In 1844 he conceives capital in the same way, as an abstract and therefor…

Recognition and Social Relations of Production
‘Social relation of production’ is a key term in Marx's theory of history, for the social relations of production of a society give that society its fundamental character and make it, for example, a capitalist rather than some other kind of society
Introduction
Two views are outlined on the question of how social theory, and specifically the theory of capitalist society, can and should be relevant to political action. For the 'instrumentalist' view the theory cannot provide political actors with ultimate ends, but can only give them a diagram of the social mechanism which they can use in working out means to those ends. By contrast, for the 'formative' view, which is exemplified by Hegel's view of the r…
On hegel, the subject, and political justification
Quantification Rhetoric—cancer on Television
This paper is concerned with quantification rhetoric: the manner in which numerical and non-numerical quantity formulations are deployed when proposing and undermining argumentative cases. The analysis is focused on a set of materials derived from the making and response to a current affairs television programme about the (putative) lack of success in charity-supported cancer research in providing effective treatments. The study demonstrates: (a)…
