TOP PAPERS FROM YOUR NEWSFEED Christine Sleeter Bookmarked by Ruth Harman Equity, democracy, and neoliberal assaults on teacher education Although in the long run, neoliberalism has a track record of undermining equity and democracy, in the short run it has directed attention to education needs that have been inadequately addressed. This article sketches what teacher education in the US can do to advance equity and democracy in five areas: recruitment and admission, early fieldwork, professional coursework, student teaching, and on-going professional development. The article then examines three neoliberal pressures teacher education: (1) away from explicit equity-oriented teacher preparation, and toward preparing teachers as...

It seems almost impossible to find anything in social media news feeds that isn't directly related to the game. So too with real life – people wandering through schools, parks, and public spaces, suddenly caught up in the latest mobile game. We're seeing a huge number of people change their behaviour in response to one free mobile game, and it's happening all over the world. The question is, what's actually happening, and how might we manage it ourselves? In terms of its development, Pokémon Go is the latest project by Niantic Labs, which makes games... View Paper Sara Tolbert Bookmarked by Ruth Harman Promoting Youth Empowerment and Social Change In/Through School Science In this article, we discuss work from our collaborative research project, Community Engagement and Youth Leadership, a partnership between university scholars/activists with high school youth and their science teacher. A key goal of this work is to explore opportunities for youth empowerment through justice-oriented school science pedagogy. Equally important is communicating our work through the development/use/sharing of accessible conceptual and curricular frameworks that are grounded within the lived realities of science classrooms. It is our hope to engage with justice-oriented others... View Paper Benjamin Noys Bookmarked by David R Cole Drone Metaphysics The drone is the signature object of the contemporary moment, incarnating a quasi-theological power to see and to kill. The danger of trying to analyse the drone is that we reproduce the image of this theological or metaphysical power, embracing the discourse of techno-fetishism that surrounds it. Here I analyse this discourse primarily through a series of literary, visual, and philosophical discourses that while pre-drone predict and probe the metaphysics of drones. This metaphysics toys with the possibility of a fully-automated or subject-less weapon, which integrates and deploys the...

Although not limited to the following characteristics, we assume that fangames are game productions that are not directly related to proit purposes; also, the production of these games is mainly based upon successful mainstream games. From this hypothesis, we observe that fangames and mods are essentially the result of today's participatory culture, in which tribute and... View Paper Isaac N Mwinlaaru Bookmarked by Ruth Harman A survey of studies in systemic functional language description and typology Systemic functional theory embodies a multilingual perspective to language from its earliest formulation. However, it was not until the last two decades that descriptions of languages other than English, particularly in the light of language typology, garnered much interest among scholars working with systemic theory. The objective of the present study is to survey the growing literature in this field. The survey consists of two main parts. The first part discusses theoretical developments in relation to language description and typology. The second part presents a meta-analysis of... View Paper Alistair Welchman Bookmarked by David R Cole Deleuze, Phenomenology and the Real (Deleuze Studies, Rome, 2016) Deleuze is an enigma (and that's not to mention Guattari). Even the most basic questions of fundamental philosophical doctrine remain unsettled. Is their project essentially continuous with the natural sciences? Is their work by contrast a description of the structures of experience, in other words a phenomenology? Or are they speculative metaphysicians of the early modern tradition? No one seems quite sure. I think their position can be made clear by seeing them in the intellectual framework of post-Kantian idealism. The central thought of Kant's mature philosophy is the distinction...
