Ceuta, Melilla, and the Co-Construction of Borders and Migrant Identities: Moroccan and Spanish Media Discourse
No full textCeuta and Melilla are often the epicenter of political debates in Spain and Morocco, in part owing to their Spanish sovereignty being disputed by Morocco. This issue is further complicated by Morocco’s paradoxical role in migration to these cities, serving as a sojourn for migrants while simultaneously policing the borders that it protests. In this study, I use critical discourse analysis and media framing to analyze 200 Moroccan and Spanish news articles to highlight how migrant identities and borders are co-constructed. Findings show that borders are discursively constructed differently across countries and publication languages while also tied to migration, juxtaposing migrants against the borders through an aggressor-victim relationship
What’s so Marxist about Marxist Educational Theory?
Full text linkThe antagonism between “class” and “race” have plagued educational theory for decades. As a communist organizer seeking to move Marxist educational theory out of the stagnant waters of theoretical debates, I turn to recent CRT scholarship, which I find much more in line with the communist project. Yet, this literature omits world-historic and ongoing transformations inaugurated particularly since the beginning of the 20th century by erasing, discounting or, denouncing them. I argue the primary factors inhibiting educational researchers: Anticommunism. The global revolutionary era led largely by revolutionary communists contains the most fruitful explanations of those conditions and connections (and the historical legacies accounting for mass movements in the U.S. today, like the historic 2020 uprising against the War on Black America). This rich and dynamic legacy is what can get educational scholarship beyond the cages of academia. After outlining the interconnection between anticommunism and anti-Black racism as the contours of master narratives, I demonstrate how anticommunism continues to hold education’s potential contributions to the struggle back while accounting for the material conditions responsible for the absence of revolutionary theory and practice and the overwhelming surplus of theories critical of revolution in the university today. I demonstrate how anti-Black racism in the U.S. is tethered to anticommunism and how Leninism provides the theoretical and practical link uniting the global struggle of the oppressed and creating the Black and indigenous-led communist movement, contending struggles against white supremacy, capitalism, and imperialism depend on a rejection of anticommunism by turning to Black communist Claudia Jones

Dating The Ste. Genevieve Limestone in West-Central Indiana Using Sr-Isotope Stratigraphy
Full text linkA section of Mississippian limestone is exposed in quarry walls at the DePauw Nature Park in Greencastle, Indiana, but its precise age is not known. This research project aimed to date the exposed wall using 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios to determine the absolute age. Ten samples of brachiopods and ooids were collected at various levels along the stratigraphic column. Isotope ratios were measured in these samples at ALS Scandinavia using a Neptune Plus MC-ICP-MS. Those ratios were then placed on a LOESS seawater Sr-isotope curve (McArthur, 2020) to determine the absolute age range for each sample. Whereas several samples were contaminated by matrix or had recrystallized, placing them completely out of stratigraphic order on the LOESS curve, three of the samples yielded valid results, bracketing a section of the quarry wall to 333.2 –332 Ma. All three valid samples fall on the LOESS curve in stratigraphic order and are clustered together in a way that is to be expected with their stratigraphic proximity within the sampling area. Thin sections of each valid sample showed no signs of recrystallization. Additionally, two of the valid samples sampled from superjacent beds yielded identical ratios with small standard deviations, decreasing the chance of both samples being contaminated. Our new absolute ages constrain the age of the basal Ste. Genevieve Limestone in Indiana. With additional sampling and dating along the quarry wall, we could calculate the sedimentation rate and the full range of ages for the Ste. Genevieve Limestone exposed in the Nature Park quarry
