Decolonising This, Decolonising That: Beyond Rhetorical Decolonisation in Migration Studies
No full textDecolonisation in the academy is a political project and continual process but has become the equivalent of clickbait without any real transfer of power to those who still do not have academic authority or power. In principle, the field of migration studies is ideally situated to engage in questions and processes of decolonisation, with its focuas on border, diaspora and mobility and core concepts of nation and migrant. And due to this seeming default alignment with the vocabulary of decolonisation and decolonisation studies, migration studies scholars have jumped straight into writing about decolonisation in migration studies. However, there has been a limited reflection on who is doing the decolonisation and from where is the problem of colonisation addressed. The absence of this discussion of by whom, from where and how to decolonise migration studies cannot continue if the aim is to move beyond rhetorical decolonisation. This paper points to how decolonisation in migration studies has come to be at risk of being colonised within the Western academy and offers pointers to what form decolonisation might actually take
The double-edged sword: Open educational resources in the era of Generative Artificial Intelligence
No full textThe integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into the Open Educational Resources (OER) landscape represents a paradigmatic shift, transforming OER from static content into a dynamic, algorithmic infrastructure. While GenAI promises to democratize content creation and accelerate localization, it simultaneously introduces profound ethical and epistemic risks. This commentary, in this regard, adopts a speculative-critical methodological approach to interrogate the "double-edged" nature of this transition. We analyze several emerging tensions: the ontological crisis of human authorship, which challenges traditional copyright frameworks; the risk of "openwashing" where proprietary models appropriate the language of the open movement; the potential for automated translation to amplify Global North epistemic biases; and the paradox of hallucination where OER serves as both a corrective ground truth and a potential casualty of remix culture. By comparing and contrasting the optimistic imaginaries of AI-enhanced access against critical perspectives on data surveillance and commodification, this paper argues that the binary definition of "openness" is no longer sufficient. We conclude that ensuring equity in the AI era requires a transition from open content creation to the stewardship of "white box" technologies and transparent digital public goods
Setting parameters on the role of social identity in unpacking intergroup conflict—The case of Northern Ireland
No full textNorthern Ireland has a long history of ethnonational tensions, with the recent Brexit referendum heightening tensions of late. Research on identity in Northern Ireland has largely used an ethnonational lens and quantitative approaches, which obscures the complex nature of identity in the region. Using a thematic analysis study of in-depth interviews (n = 50) conducted in Derry-Londonderry in 2017, this study explores how individuals experience and conceptualize identity in the region. This study finds that identity is experienced as fluid, and there may be a shift in the subjective meaning or internal experience of an identity, even when the identity label remains unchanged. Identity is experienced as multifaceted and complex, where it is difficult to distinguish between what were components or facets of an identity and identities themselves, and also around whether an identity was political, social, or neither. Finally, there was an understanding relating to the differing compatibility, interdependence, and intersectionality of identity and that while identities are dependent on identity meaning, this meaning can be molded to fit a belief. By centering participants’ own accounts, this study challenges the conventional application of identity models and expands how identity is understood and experienced in intergroup conflict settings
Access to justice: objecting children as parties in Hague Convention cases heard in England and Wales
No full textUsing data from an original empirical study, this article explores the position of children who wish to directly exercise their Article 12 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) participatory rights by being joined as parties to proceedings about them brought by one of their parents, who following the wrongful removal or retention by the other parent, seek an order for their immediate return under the 1980 Hague Convention in the jurisdiction of England and Wales. It does so within the context of access to justice for children, the subject of the UNCRC’s soon to be published General Comment 27. Two practical routes open to children to be joined as parties are identified and through a children’s rights lens the legal, procedural, and attitudinal barriers that exist to the achievement of this status are discussed. This includes commentary on the experiences of children who approach Solicitors directly to represent them. The article concludes that neither time nor space is afforded to children who object to being returned and who wish to participate directly in fulfilment of their Article 12 UNCRC participatory rights upon which their access to justice depends and calls for policy and procedural change. The data support the view that there is an appetite for attitudinal change from paternalism to active engagement
Orogeny and topography influenced jurassic–cretaceous terrestrial ecosystem evolution in northeastern Asia
No full textTectonic processes are often invoked to explain ecosystem changes, but their precise effects remain elusive. This study focuses on Jurassic–Cretaceous Northeastern Asia, linking the flourishing of the globally exceptional Yanliao and Jehol Biotas, which are temporally successive biotas with distinct species composition, to a prominent tectonic transition from crustal shortening to extension. We estimated paleo-elevation and paleo-temperature variations using whole-rock chemical parameters from Jurassic–Early Cretaceous continental arcs. Combined with published paleoclimate and paleontological records, our findings suggest that Mid–Late Jurassic plate convergence in Northeastern Asia created high elevations and complex topography with vertically zoned micro-environments, promoting the emergence of Yanliao Biota. In the Early Cretaceous, following recovery from a warm and arid climate interval across the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition, enhanced topographic ruggedness due to tectonic extension and local topographic/climate heterogeneity, diversified the Jehol Biota. This highly sculpted Northeastern Asia upland (2.0–4.5 km) hosted a wide spectrum of ecological niches under a relatively cool but heterogeneous climate, creating key cradle for biodiversification

We have always been postmodern: A new past for a future postmodern psychotherapy
No full textThis chapter offers a new historical and theoretical perspective on postmodernity and postmodernism which broadens the frame of the debate. We give the name ‘pomo2’ to the more familiar version of postmodernism, inspired by Lyotard and others. In this received version, postmodernity begins in the second half of the 20th century and is associated with the post-industrialization of the dominant western nations during the rise of the computer age. We give the name ‘pomo1’ to the postmodernism informed by ‘process thinking’ that arose around 1875 and reached a zenith between the two world wars. Pomo1 arose as the modern system of supposedly sovereign nation states entered into widespread collapse. Reframing the more familiar description of postmodernity as pomo2 by incorporating pomo1 into the picture makes better sense both of the philosophical bases of postmodernism and of the broader historical context, such as the collapse of the empires that had fed the illusion of national sovereignty undergirding a few centuries of Western global dominance. After outlining this new perspective we offer seven observations, each supported by a relevant pomo1 quotation, about how it might serve to re-orient practice-relevant theory development in the world of postmodern therapy. Our reframing aims to re-energise the vital sense of purpose that once animated the pomo debate, but that has been degenerating under conditions in which the alleged linguistic relativism of postmodernists is being blamed for opening the floodgates to a crisis-ridden world of ‘post-truth’
