‘Teaching’ the path towards university: understanding student access through storied-futures and meritocratic grand narratives     

Neil Anthony Buddel 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2018,39(1):16-31

The notion that the stories of our lives shape dispositions towards imagined futures is another lens through which university underrepresentation should be viewed. A storied lens attends to how futures, like university attendance, are storied during childhood to the extent that some youth imagine, and therefore plan, these futures as natural progression. Such was the case for study participants, indicating that childhood stories contain answers for mitigating social reproduction connected to parental education and cultural forces within the home. Examining social mobility through the underexplored storied-futures grand narrative presents unique solutions that lay hidden within the dominant meritocratic grand narrative.  相似文献   

统一的环境法精神探微     

范连星 《长治学院学报》2003,20(4):13-15

传统的环境法是由自然资源 (包括能源 )法、污染防治法、自然保护法三个不同的法域组成的部门法 ,三个法域各自着眼点并不相同 ,以至于难以形成环境保护的合力。资源保护、污染防治以及自然保护对公益衡平的价值追求和对环境保全的共同目标追求使得现代环境法形成统一的精神成为可能。这种精神应是 :在考虑到环境承载力的前提下 ,实现人类的可持续发展。  相似文献

Analysis of the urban/rural broadband divide in Canada: Using GIS in planning terrestrial wireless deployment   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

M. Sawada  Daniel Cossette  Barry Wellar  Tolga Kurt 《Government Information Quarterly》2006,23(3-4):454

Millions of Canadians residing in Canada's northern, isolated, rural, and remote communities do not have broadband Internet access. This situation has led to a national “broadband divide.” That is, the deployment of wireline broadband is very limited in Canada's northern, isolated, rural, and remote areas because of the significant expense of installation and maintenance of the wired infrastructure needed to reach dwellings in these locations.Terrestrial broadband wireless technology, on the other hand, does not entail the same kind of physical infrastructure. As a result, there are dramatic changes in how spatial considerations affect the provision of broadband Internet services (BIS) to areas beyond the urban zone. In particular, the spatial question is now focused on assessing the capacity for different technological solutions to reach profitable population bases, and brings to the forefront organizations that are developing non-line-of-sight (NLOS) technologies that would permit wireless Internet access over much greater distances than current solutions.We begin this paper by establishing the importance of broadband connectivity to Canada's northern, isolated, rural, and remote communities. This discussion comments on the role of the Government of Canada in the provision of broadband connectivity to residents of these communities, and outlines the current regulatory issues that govern wireless services and policy formulation.The second part of the paper illustrates the use of geographic information system (GIS) approaches in the study of wireless broadband planning and deployment. Case study findings suggest that GIS applications can make a significant contribution to the analysis of wireless deployment planning, to the understanding of the relationships between wireless signal sources and consumers, and to the spatial configuration of terrestrial wireless broadband networks. We conclude the paper by discussing how the GIS approach employed could be used to inform the public policy process with regard to increasing access to broadband Internet services in all regions of the country, and thereby providing the opportunity for all Canadians, regardless of location, to fully participate in the Information Society.  相似文献   

Update: The Invisible Farmer: securing Australian farm women’s history     

Nikki Henningham  Helen Morgan 《档案与原稿》2018,46(1):90-99

This article reviews the Invisible Farmer project – the largest study of Australian women on the land – a third of the way through its three year funding period. It introduces the aims of this collaborative and multidisciplinary project, focusing on the role of records and oral histories in the creation of new narratives, and the task of raising public awareness of the important historical and contemporary contributions made by Australian women farmers. We examine the way digital platforms work to curate records and promote research, and outline the important role that the Australian Women’s Register, a core project of the Australian Women’s Archives Project, will play in achieving outcomes.  相似文献   

Something new: value and change in finance*     

Daniel Souleles 《Journal of Cultural Economy》2017,10(4):393-404

ABSTRACT

Ethnographic and social scientific accounts of the financiers that buy and sell companies for profit often homogenize the players in these social dramas, relying on blunt, totalizing definitions of culture or overly deterministic articulations of habitus. This article, drawing on a two-year study of private equity investors, offers an alternative analytic frame for making sense of how private equity people buy and sell companies. It explores the ways in which private equity people make arguments persuading one another and the larger public that an investment is worth making. Important to these arguments are not only substantive content, the evidence that investors marshal to support a thesis, but also reflective evaluation of what counts as good evidence, meta-commentary. It is in these split levels of analysis that we can appreciate the cultural diversity within finance, Wall Street, and investment banking. I will also suggest that understanding how investors are arguing substantively as well as meta-pragmatically begins to outline a useful theory of culture change within the world of investment banking.  相似文献

透视与反思:义务教育均衡问题二十年之研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

王为民 《现代教育论丛》2007,(4):22-26

自1986年7月1日《中华人民共和国义务教育法》颁布实施以来,到2006年9月1日新修订的《中华人民共和国义务教育法》出台推行,义务教育的均衡问题一直倍受我国学界的关注。关于教育均衡问题研究的话语主流发轫于对教育公平理念的界定和解读,对教育均衡的评介及阐释,继之以对教育失衡现象的深入探究与理性归因,最后从不同视角提出教育补偿的诸多策略及建构性理论。通过对部分有代表性的研究进行归纳、分析、总结和反思,以期把握我国教育均衡问题的研究脉络和进程,深省我国教育研究的现状,希冀对提高教育研究的品质和水准有所裨益。  相似文献   

社会公正下的教育和就业政策问题——法国新劳工法案《首次雇佣合同》（CPE）评析     

刘亮 《外国教育研究》2006,33(12):27-30

2006年初,法国颁布的《首次雇佣合同》法案(Cntrat Pemirèe Ebauche,简称CPE)引起了社会的强烈反响,包括工人、学生在内的大规模游行随即开始。其背后隐藏着深刻的社会背景和政治、经济原因。法国新劳工法案的颁发触及到了一部分社会群体的利益,是法国社会动荡形成的重要成因。从社会公正这一视点出发,来探讨法国的教育和就业政策问题,就显得尤为重要和可行。  相似文献   

从高等教育入学机会的分配标准透视教育公平问题——对新中国50年普通高校招生政策的历史回顾   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

杜瑞军 《高等教育研究》2007,(4)

教育公平问题归根结底是一个权利、机会等资源的分配和再分配问题,其中分配标准是关键。不同的分配标准,决定了不同人群的现实处境。回顾新中国成立以来的高校招生政策,我国高等教育入学机会的分配标准经历了由新中国成立初期的学术和政治的双重标准,到教育“革命”时期政治标准被突出强调,“文革”后学术标准被重新确立,进而到当前经济实力成为影响机会分配的重要因素的变革历程。  相似文献
