The mathematics problem: The construction of a market-led education discourse in the Republic of Ireland
Educational change in the neoliberal state is permeated by the effects of forces from outside the field of education itself. The process of governmentality welcomes, indeed demands, the participation of those non-state actors valorised by neoliberalism as well as government agencies dedicated to the advancement of such groups.

Nubia and Nubian Origins
This paper, the third in a series about the geographical history of Eastern Africa, examines the definitions of Nubia today against the background of her changing historical frontiers. It also considers literary and inscriptional evidence, ancient and mediaeval, bearing on Nubian origins and on the evolution of a Nubian kingdom, and discusses the impact of Roman frontier policy on events in the Nubian Nile valley and on the adjacent Eastern Deser…

changes, favoured warfare between two kingdoms and peoples very different environmentally and in cultural and political orientation. Evidence for this warfare across the Butana and in the 'Island of Meroe' (between the Atbara and the Nile) is contained in Aksumite inscriptions of the first half of the fourth century ad. Two of these and probably a third, a recent chance discovery, commemorate Aksumite invasions of the Meroitic heartland; invasion…
The Christian Topography and the Kingdom of Axum
The site of Adulis, on the Ethiopian Red Sea coast, may one day yield a Greek inscription of outstanding importance for the geographical history of ancient Ethiopia. The text of the inscription was published, though without the opening passages, in The Christian topography, a mid-sixth century work, the Greek text of which has recently been re-edited and translated by Dr. Wanda Wolska-Conus. This new edition has encouraged a review, here under? t…

Rome beyond The Southern Egyptian Frontier
Sir Mortimer Wheeler's now well-known survey of Roman exploration and trade beyond the imperial frontiers, though it describes the Red Sea and transSaharan traffic, does not cover one frontier across which Roman trade and Roman travellers often passed, namely the southern frontier of Egypt.* It was important, for this route up the Nile or across the adjacent deserts was, and had been since the Pyramid Age, one of the principal avenues to the weal…

IN 1895 some enterprising gentlemen floated an Ruins Company in Rhodesia with a view to placing treasure-hunting on a properly organised business basis. Their activities, luckily, were cut short by Cecil Rhodes. The ancient ruins, hundreds of them already ransacked, were taken over by the Administration and an Ancient Ruins Ordinance was passed by the Legislative Council. Among the ruins in Southern Rhodesia thus dug over by the treasure-seekers …
