The Ethics of Drones
No full textThis paper examines the etymology of the word “drones” before tracing the history of drones from flying bomb drones to commercial and civilian drones (CCDs). It then delineates an ethical space for the use of CCDs in a well-ordered society, given the rights of its members to privacy/security, safety, and freedom from undue, excessive noise
Educating for Good Thinking: Virtues, Skills, or Both?
No full textThis paper explores the relationship between intellectual virtues and critical thinking, both as such and as educational ends worth pursuing. The first half of the paper examines the intersection of intellectual virtue and critical thinking. The second half addresses a recent argument to the effect that educating for intellectual virtues (in contrast to educating for critical thinking) is insufficiently action-guiding and therefore lacks a suitable pedagogy.Cet article explore la relation entre les vertus intellectuelles et la pensée critique, à la fois en tant que telles et en tant que buts éducatifs dignes d\u27être poursuivis. La première moitié de l\u27article examine l\u27intersection de la vertu intellectuelle et de la pensée critique. La seconde partie aborde un argument récent selon lequel l\u27enseignement des vertus intellectuelles (par opposition à l\u27enseignement de la pensée critique) est insuffisante pour guider l\u27action pédagogique et manque donc d\u27une pédagogie adéquate.
Social-Emotional Learning for Teachers: Critical and Holistic Well-Being as a Marker of Success
No full textSocial and emotional learning (SEL) is a crucial part of student wellness and academic achievement, but teachers’ own SEL is often overlooked. This qualitative study examines educators’ perceptions of their own university-level teacher preparation programs to better understand the ways in which teacher educators can support pre-service teachers’ well-being, preparedness, and longevity in the field. Findings reveal that teachers saw their own transformative SEL—a form of SEL committed to equity and social justice (Jagers et al., 2019)—as a key factor for their success, highlighting the importance of critical and holistic preparation that focuses on the social–emotional development of teachers themselves. Implications focus on practical ways transformative SEL can be infused into teacher preparation programs including redefining success beyond student academics alone, focusing on teacher well-being in a way that does not ignore systemic oppression and school-level barriers, preparing teachers for the realities of roadblocks and ethical dilemmas they may face, and examining syllabi and coursework for the development of transformative SEL competencies
A Gendered Analysis of Habermas and the Underrepresented Narratives of Domestic Migrant Claims
No full textThis paper explores the limitations and possibilities of Habermas’ critical social theory and discourse ethics by utilizing the analyses of two of his former students, Nancy Fraser and Seyla Benhabib. Fraser shows us the limitations of Habermas’ position because it fails to take into consideration the female perspective and contribution to the labor force. This raises the question of migration within the gender framework. On the other hand, Benhabib argues for the potential of Habermas’ philosophy by reminding us of its universalist stance
The Basic Components of Agreement
No full textDisagreement has garnered attention in a variety of academic disciplines, but its counterpart agreement is deserving of much more attention than it has received. This paper begins by reviewing some of the existing literature directly discussing agreement. Inspired by these conversations, I then provide a typology of basic types of agreement followed by a more general discussion of its nature. The aim of the paper is to provide conceptual clarifications and a framework for discussing and analyzing agreement wherever it may be found.Le désaccord a attiré l\u27attention dans une variété de disciplines académiques, mais l’accord mérite beaucoup plus d\u27attention qu\u27il n\u27en a reçu. Cet article commence par passer en revue une partie de la littérature existante qui traite directement de l\u27accord. Inspiré par ces conversations, je propose ensuite une typologie des types d\u27accord de base suivie d\u27une discussion plus générale sur sa nature. L\u27objectif de cet article est de fournir des clarifications conceptuelles et un cadre pour discuter et analyser l\u27accord, où qu\u27il se trouve
Rational Thinking and Intellectually Virtuous Thinking: Identical, Extensionally Equivalent, or Substantively Different?

In what follows I answer both questions in the negative.(1) La personne rationnelle est-elle eo ipso intellectuellement vertueuse? (2) La personne intellectuellement vertueuse est-elle eo ipso rationnelle ? Dans ce qui suit, je réponds aux deux questions par la négative
Stones from a Glasshouse: The Paradoxical Condemnation of Reading Recovery in the Ontario Human Rights Commission Right to Read Report
No full textThe Ontario Human Rights Commission’s (OHCR) Right to Read Report calls for school districts to implement early literacy interventions that have been scientifically proven to be effective for young children with reading difficulties. The acknowledgment of early intervention as an essential service for young children experiencing reading difficulties is a strong and welcome message in the report. However, the report recommends a narrow course for reading interventions in Ontario, drawing on discourse from the Science of Reading community, which questionably frames current interventions, such as Reading Recovery, as unscientific, ineffective commercial programs. In this response, the authors contest the one-sidedness of these recommendations based on a paradox in the report between what constitutes an effective early literacy intervention supported by science and the standards for effectiveness the OHRC requires of interventions it endorses versus those it discredits. Rather than dismissing one approach or the other outright, a call is made for school leadership to consider broader reading science and the strengths of various approaches instead of narrowing the menu of effective literacy interventions that may support diverse learners
Creating a Visual Dictionary of Sociology: A Faculty-Student Collaboration
No full textThe Visual Dictionary of Sociology is a collection of images that illustrate core sociological concepts, created through a multi-year partnership with an undergraduate artist. I have successfully used the images in a first-year introductory sociology course to encourage discussion and deep thinking among students. The process of creating the images provided an opportunity for the student to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts through regular consultation with me, and for me to reflect on my own teaching practices. Drawing on reflections gathered from both of us, I discuss the creation process, the growth we have experienced, and the impact on my teaching
Evidentiary Aspects of an International Anti-Corruption Court
No full textCombatting transnational economic crime, including bribery and money laundering, is a concern of the international community. Today, although a number of international treaties address the issue, enforcement of the laws against corruption still builds on individual states with national criminal laws, procedures, prosecutors and courts. International cooperation is based on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. A future International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC) drawing at least in some respects from the experience of the International Criminal Court (ICC) might help to overcome impunity of powerful corrupt officials, and to hold companies responsible if they are involved in corruption. States Parties to an IACC Statute would be expected to fully cooperate with the Court. Such cooperation would include the service of documentary evidence that is particularly important in economic crime investigations. As the example of cooperation between Switzerland and the ICC shows, it would be a more effective way of international cooperation than traditional mutual legal assistance between states. This is possible because States Parties to the ICC (and a future IACC) in principle agree not to invoke sovereignty arguments towards the international institution that they co-carry. An IACC should be enabled to admit stolen financial and legal records as evidence, as they have emerged in the context of the Panama, Paradise and Pandora Papers leaks. However, the Court must ensure fairness of the proceedings and the right of parties to challenge the admissibility of evidence
