Consequences of COVID-19 on Future Society: Some Reflections from the Higher Education Sector
Full text linkThe COVID-19 pandemic is causing a huge disruption on the way human beings are living and interacting all over the world. The present article is a collection of thoughts on the possible consequences of the pandemic on society and higher education in particular. It is a reflection on the role of higher education in the current context and its potential to shape future society
Full text linkIn a series of loosely connected reflections, the author attempts to situate the COVID-19 emergency relative to a more general sense of crisis in the early twenty-first century. French thinkers Bernard Stiegler and Michel Deguy are deployed to grasp the ecological character of this moment. The language and figures of confinement and de-confinement are considered with pleasure and curiosity throughout. The real conditions of a region much less affected by the virus than many others and the challenges and paradoxes of locality-in-emergency that are implied by this fortunate state of affairs are brought into relation to the broader world situation. Navigating the social changes underway and to come is briefly evoked, leading to questions of culture, leisure and education in conclusion
Dissonance: Coexistence with Foreigners vs. Coronavirus Epidemic Countermeasures in Japan
Full text link
Full text linkThe Covid-19 pandemic that hit France, and a large part of the world, highlighted the unbearable inequalities that exist within human society and lead us to question the republican motto of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Moreover, the speeches by the French government concerning the management of this pandemic further reveal, by the use of certain words or syntagms (confinement, social distancing, barrier gestures), an ideology which, by inference, is also in contradiction with this republican motto. This article aims to articulate the social and the linguistic contexts, and thus to show their ideological coherence
Research Evaluation in Humanities and Social Sciences
Full text linkThis paper reports on the Symposium for Research Evaluation in Humanities and Social Sciences which was held in Tokyo (Japan) on February 15th, 2019. Although citation-based research metrics might meet the needs in certain academic fields, when this methodology is applied to evaluate fields such as the Humanities and Social Sciences, it may fail to capture a proper picture of research in these fields. This symposium, therefore, brought together research institutes that are evaluated, public agencies which evaluate such institutes, as well as publishers who provide data for evaluation with the objective of discussing how they perceive research evaluation, how it should be, and what they expect from research metrics.
