Human Rights Education and Social Studies Teacher Preparation: Is There any “There” There?
No full textUsing data from a survey of social studies professors and program directors in New Jersey, this paper presents the results of an investigation about the degree to which human rights education is integrated within the professional teacher preparation programs leading to social studies certification at colleges and universities in New Jersey. Seven institutions of higher education are represented, combining both public and private colleges and universities. Findings indicate that human rights education is not heavily represented in the content of social studies certification coursework, nor are students enrolled in such classes very knowledgeable about the history of human rights, the UN/international treaty and legal framework, and humanitarian law issues based upon prior courses in their subject field majors. Students who exit these programs prior to receiving initial licensure in New Jersey have a relatively strong understanding of student-centered, participatory pedagogy compatible with human rights education concepts and strategies, but there is little evidence that study of core topics in U. S. or world history is placed within the broader context of the development of human rights. Recommendations emphasize a more cohesive integration of the NCSS standards for teacher preparation into social studies teacher preparation program design and implementation, with a specific focus on five standards where human rights content and themes can be effectively used. Additionally, more intensive collaboration between subject field faculty in the humanities and social sciences and social studies education faculty is needed to insure that human rights content and themes are actually studied regularly by social studies teacher preparation candidates prior to their exit from certification programs.Paper prepared for the 5th International Conference on Human Rights Education presentation on the panel: Human Rights Education in the USA: Collaborative Strategies to Effect Chang
The death of William Golding: authorship and creativity in darkness visible and the paper men
Full text linkIn the seventies and eighties William Golding was deeply responsive to the critical, anti-authorial ethos that followed the publication of Roland Barthes's "La mort de I'auteur" (1968). In Darkness Visible (1979) and The Paper Men (1984) he investigates means by which to reaffirm authorial presence. Working through paradox, he performs the authorial death in these novels, and establishes language’s inadequacy as a means of conveying absolute meaning, authorial "vision," truth or revelation. Having done so he nonetheless gestures towards the divine, towards the possibility of a vatic communication. In this manner the novels work upon principles of contradiction and collapse. What remains is a discourse of hope, promise, desire, without means of substantiating such optimism. Thus Golding might be said to have practiced a form of negative theology, and to have anticipated in this respect some recent trends in literary theory

Arthur William Upfield: a biography
Full text linkThis dissertation is an exhaustive account of the life and work of Arthur William Upfield (1890-1964). It is presented as a critical biography and narrates the life of the writer, in his socio-cultural milieu, from birth. It also positions Upfield as a writer who dealt with issues of Aboriginality at a time when this was a singularly polemical subject. My work is informed by the theory of Zygmunt Bauman and others and is posited in the context of late-modern biography theory.
English-born, Upfield arrived in Australia in 1911 and took work in the bush, serving overseas with the Australian army at the outbreak of World War I and marrying an Australian army nurse in Egypt. Returning with his wife and son to Australia in 1921 he intermittently carried his swag until he was employed patrolling the Western Australian number 1 rabbit-proof fence for three years to 1931. By that time he had published four novels, including two crime novels featuring his fictional creation, the part-Aboriginal, part-European, Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte ('Bony'), arguably the first fully-developed character in Australian popular fiction.
Leaving the fence, Upfield settled with his family in Perth and wrote full-time until joining the Melbourne Herald in 1933. Retrenched, he resumed career writing to be further interrupted by a war-time intelligence posting in 1939. In 1943 the first Bony mysteries were published in America, where Upfield's critical success was maintained until his death. In 1945 he left his wife for Jessica Uren, to whom he remained devoted.
Upfield's in all twenty-nine Bony novels, many of which have been translated across eleven languages, afforded him notable success both at home and abroad, in good part due to his descriptive gifts and the uniqueness of his fictional character, the part-Aboriginal Bony
