What is missing in policy discourses about school exclusions
This article reports on a critical policy analysis of discourses related to school exclusions. The management of problematic student behaviour is one of the intractable problems facing education systems today. Despite being ineffective, school suspensions and exclusions are commonly used in many countries as a discipline strategy to manage student behaviour. We adopted a critical policy analysis approach in a case in Australia to examine what is …
Secrets of Qohelet
During the middle ages and early modern period, dozens of Jewish commentaries were written on Qohelet, in Arabic and Hebrew, and representing a very full range of methods and approaches, from Karaite to Rabbanite, grammatical to pietistic, Neoplatonic, Aristotelian, and anti-Aristotelian, even kabbalistic. The purpose of this article – dedicated to the memory of Kalman Bland – is to present some experiments related to the telling of the history o…
Relational pedagogy and the policy failure of contemporary Australian schooling
This paper considers the implications of the current landscape of education policy reform in Australian schooling. We argue that the decontextualisation of education policy enactments and the eschewing of concerns relevant at the local level of the school over the past two decades have prompted various reform agendas to fail. We contend that recognition of the deep contextualisation of schools is paramount in any attempt at renewal. Therefore, it…
Shaking up’ neoliberal policy in schools
Our research is driven by a strong belief that the stories of young people gathered through ethnographic interviews can generate awareness not only of the complexities, uncertainties and possibilities of young people’s lives but also the ways in which their identities and life chances are shaped by broader structural, institutional and historical forces beyond their control. In this article, we introduce Jacinta, a young person who describes the …
Problematising vocational education and training in schools
In Australia, like many western countries, there has been a convergence of education policy around a set of utilitarian and economistic approaches to vocational education and training in schools. Such approaches are based on the assumption that there is a direct relationship between national economic growth, productivity and human capital development resulting in the persuasive political argument that schools should be more closely aligned to the…

In Memoriam
Sent out’ and Stepping Back In
This paper invokes the voices of young people who had been separated from mainstream schooling because they were positioned as 'disengaged' and 'at risk of failing'. The authors argue that streaming students out of schooling needs serious questioning as an escalating number of young people are framed as non-performers within a globally competitive educational market. Throughout the paper we use critical ethnographic slices to expose the experienc…
Give me air not shelter’
This paper tackles what is arguably one of the most pressing and intractable educational issues confronting western democracies – the disengagement and disconnection from schooling of alarming numbers of young people. The paper looks at the policy response in Victoria, Australia, and through ethnographic interviews with a small number of young people; it finds a significant mismatch between the policy intent of re-engagement programmes, and the e…
Civil war and democracy in West Africa
David Harris's most recent book examines the nature of post-conflict elections as determinants of peace in the twenty-first century. Tracing the development of conflict resolution more broadly in post-Cold War Africa, but looking in particular at these two West African cases, Harris examines the role of elections as the crux of conflict termination in the contemporary era and the problematic role they have come to occupy when coupled with concept…
Yet Again, 'Between Absolute and Programme Music
In this paper, we contest Peter Kivy’s claim that there is a clear opposition between ‘absolute music’ and programme music and between musical form and musical expressiveness. We argue, on the contrary, that much music falls somewhere between absolute and programme music as Kivy conceives the categories, and that such music is often primarily organized not on purely formal principles but by means of the overall ‘expressive trajectory’ or ‘poetic …
Toward a methodological scheme for capturing societal effects of participatory sustainability research
Sustainability research that strives to develop solution options to complex problems and involves non-academic partners has received increasing public attention. Given this trend, funding organizations, universities, and collaborating partners from business and government seek evidence for the effectiveness of such research. The article introduces a framework and methodological scheme for capturing the societal effects of participatory sustainabi…
Dilemmas and deliberations in reflexive ethnographic research
This paper traces insights into the challenges and dilemmas experienced whilst researching students' interpretations and understandings of the Behaviour Management in Schools policy in Western Australia. Journal records, supported by student transcripts, are woven together in a reflexive ethnographic journey – from the beginning phase of searching formal approval; gaining access to the participants; and finally the challenge of ‘letting go’ of st…
It's our turn – young people ‘tilting’ the neoliberal turn
Education is an important and defining element in young people's lives. When conceived properly, it has the potential to transform opportunities and life chances. It hardly comes as news that in recent times the authors have witnessed the inappropriate intrusion into education of notions of school reform that while they might arguably be in the national economic interest, are highly questionable from the vantage point of young people. In this pap…
External Mission
In Comrades against Apartheid: The ANC and the South African Communist Party in Exile (1992), Stephen Ellis and Tsepo Sechaba (a pseudonym) stated that it was ‘too soon to write a definitive history of the South African Communist Party (SACP) in exile’, and that ‘a history of the South African Communist Party and of its relationship with the African National Congress (ANC) which might appear full and satisfactory now, would seem dated in a few ye…

Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Peruš ha-Millot ha-Zarot and al-Fārābī's Eisagoge and Categories
Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Perus ha-Millot ha-Zarot was one of the most popular and widely used Jewish philosophical reference works during the Middle Ages and survives in more than 50 manuscripts. It was read both as a glossary to his Hebrew translation of the Guide of the Perplexed and as a general introduction to philosophy. The definitions that Ibn Tibbon provides, which range over the full curriculum of medieval philosophy and science, were not alw…
Language and History in Theodor W. Adorno's 'Notes to Literature
Despite the growing body of work on Adorno's aesthetics (an aspect of his thought that has itself received much less attention than with other elements of his philosophy), his writings on literature seem almost to have been ignored. This is the first book-length study in English of Notes to Literature (I am aware of the existence of a further study in German dating from 1979), and attempts to treat Adorno's literary criticism as something ‘intima…
Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Commentary on Ecclesiastes
Samuel Ibn Tibbon (c. 1165-1232) - the eminent translator, philosopher, and exegete - is most famous for his Hebrew translation of Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed . However, he wrote original works as well, and laid the foundations for a distinctive philosophical-exegetical movement, what is today called 'Maimonideanism'. James T. Robinson's book includes a first English translation of Ibn Tibbon's commentary on Ecclesiastes, which was the fou…
Rabbi Jeruham b. Meshullam, Michael Scot, and the Development of Jewish Law in Fourteenth-Century Spain
One of the most mysterious and haunting of all medieval halakhic figures must certainly be the fourteenth-century sage Rabbi Jeruham b. Meshullam. During the sixteenth century, he was known as “Tamiri”—“the concealed one”—a moniker given to him by Joseph Karo's heavenly interlocutor, the Maggid. Years later, David Azulai, the eminent eighteenth-century rabbinic bibliographer, reported that “a number of Rabbis who had composed commentaries on his …

Three Recent Books on Isaac Abarbanel/Abravanel (1437–1508/9)
If quantity is any measure of importance, then Isaac Abarbanel/Abravanel—the fascinating statesman and financier, polemicist and messianic theorist, exegete and philosopher-theologian—has certainly risen very high indeed in the study of medieval Jewish thought. Although never an obscure figure in modern scholarship, having already been the subject of several monographs and dozens of articles, the publication of three books in as many years moves …
The First References in Hebrew to al-Bitr?j?'s On the Principles of Astronomy
The first references in Hebrew to al-Biṭrūjī's On the Principles of Astronomy , which are found in Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Perus ha-millot ha-zarot, Commentary on Ecclesiastes , and Maʾamar yiqqawu ha-mayim , are identified and discussed briefly. These references are placed in the context of the history of al-Biṭrūjī's influence on medieval Jewish philosophy and science. The significance of Ibn Tibbon's discussion of al- Biṭrūjī and astronomy in gene…
Impact of salient vocal qualities on causal attribution for a speaker's behavior
Considerable research has demonstrated an illusory causation effect in which visually salient people are perceived as more causal of events in a social inter-action than their nonsalient counterparts. The present studies extended this work to the realm of auditory salience. Two determinants of auditory salience were manipulated—the intensity of a speaker's voice and the sex of a speaker's voice. As predicted, subjects attended more to a 75-dB (A)…

A Neglected Phase of the Aesthetic Movement
In an Epilogue to the Queen, with which Tennyson closed his Library Edition of 1873, the Laureate noted, among many threats to the “mightiest of all people under heaven,” the danger to art from “poisonous honey stol'n from France,” Readers from queen to commoner could nod their heads in pious agreement, for they shared Tennyson's Gallophobia. Deeply distressed that Swinburne should have contributed a sonnet in praise of Mademoiselle de Maupin to …

Urinary Androsterone, Etiocholanolone, and Dehydroepiandrosterone Responses to 72-Hr. Avoidance Sessions in the Monkey
Urinary androsterone, etiocholanolone, and dehydroepiandrosterone levels show substantial responses in association with 72-hr. avoidance sessions in the monkey. In most instances a biphasic response is observed which is characterized by a decline in levels during avoidance followed by a rebound elevation during the recovery period. The duration of the two response phases, the primary depression and the secondary elevation, may vary from one exper…
