  • Beyond transformation, aid and gratitude: Developing a mutually beneficial international teaching experience

    John MajorARTICLETheory Into Practice2020Cited by: 4References: 18

    International teaching experiences are increasingly being offered as an option in teacher education programs as a way of addressing goals related to internationalization such as developing intercultural competence and preparing teachers for "super-diversity" in education. However, there has also been some concern expressed that international teaching experiences may simply reinforce stereotypes and contribute to deficit thinking about diversity a…

  • The Troublemaker. Michael Scott and his lonely struggle against injustice, by Anne Yates and Lewis Chester

    John S Major, John MajorARTICLEAfrican Affairs2007

    In their attitude to Africa, and especially to South Africa, some 20th-century Anglican clerics were famously militant. We already have the lives of two such men, Archbishop Joost de Blank of Cape Town and Bishop Ambrose Reeves of Johannesburg, both written by John Peart-Binns. Most recently, there have been the studies of Father Trevor Huddleston by Robin Denniston, and of Canon John Collins by Denis Herbstein. Now comes the long-anticipated bio…

  • The Trades Union Congress and Apartheid, 1948-1970

    John MajorARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies2005

    This article draws largely on hitherto unexplored primary source material in the TUC Archive at Warwick University. It examines the reaction of the British Trades Union Congress to the politics of South Africa during the first two decades of apartheid. Three aspects of policy are considered. The first is the relationship of the TUC to the divided South African trade union movement, split fundamentally over the treatment of African unionists. Here…

  • F.D.R. and Panama

    Open AccessJohn MajorARTICLEThe Historical Journal1985

    Historians of United States policy towards Latin America in the first half of the twentieth century have paid remarkably little attention to Washington's dealings with the republic of Panama. The failure to explore this terra incognita is all the more surprising in the light of the fact that those dealings hinged round one of America's vital interests, the Panama Canal, which runs through the heart of the country and has given Panama an importanc…

  • Pro mundi beneficio’? The Panama Canal as an international issue, 1943–8

    Open AccessJohn MajorARTICLEReview of International Studies1983

    From its inception Americans have thought of the Panama Canal as one of the outstanding national interests of the United States, and a glance at the map explains why. By cutting out the long haul round South America, the canal markedly reduces the distance by sea from coast to coast, from the Atlantic ports to East Asia and Australasia, and from the Pacific ports to Europe and the Atlantic seaboards of Africa and Latin America. The result has bee…
