Post-secondary planning paradoxes: how regular kids prepare for the future in the college-for-all era
No full textThis dissertation examines the interactional processes that lead to stratified post-secondary planning and outcomes among high school students. In contrast to most sociological research on education, I study “regular” students, neither the overachievers nor those at risk of dropping out. I address how the mundane details of students’ daily lives are patterned to produce and reproduce systems of privilege. In the first of two waves of research, I interviewed 28 New Jersey counselors. In the second wave, I spent two years shadowing students through 11th and 12th grades at one racially and socioeconomically diverse high school in the suburban fringe of New York City. Multiple ethnographic methods included focus groups, school-day shadowing and repeated interviews of 17 focal students, and interviews with teachers, parents, counselors, and administrators. I argue that students’ lives are structured by a series of paradoxes, beginning with the college-for-all paradox: we expect all students to go to college, and yet fewer than half do. I explore a number of sub-paradoxes that structure student experience in high school. First, some counselors employ a pedagogical role; they scaffold post-secondary planning to foster a “dependent independence” that makes it (incorrectly) appear that students are doing it on their own. Second, New Jersey High School (NJHS) sends a series of complex mixed messages about college in response to a student body with diverse post-secondary outcomes. Mixed messages appear in formal and informal interactions and in the school’s institutional structures. NJHS tells students that college is for everyone, but it’s actually not for all of them. Third, students must navigate through these vague messages to figure out where they fit vis-à-vis their classmates and how that might inform their post-secondary plans. They must do this in a cultural space in which they are just learning which comparisons are acceptable and which must be left implicit. These strategies allow students to adjust their expectations while absolving teachers and counselors from giving advice that is difficult to hear. This leaves students with often mistaken impressions of solid college plans, and they thereby come to understand not going to college as a personal failure.Ph.

Warrior dreams: playing Scotsmen in mainland Europe, 1945 – 2010
No full textAt the beginning of the twenty first century, thousands of adult
Europeans are playing Scotsmen. They dress up in kilts and
tartan, parade in military-style bagpipe bands, toss tree trunks
at Highland Games, commemorate Scottish soldiers of the past,
and re-enact their vision of Scottish history at ‘Celtic’ and
medieval fairs. Their largest festivals attract more than 25 000
people each year, and their more elaborate clubs are recognised
by Scottish Clan chiefs.
The ‘Scots’ of Europe do not usually claim to be Scottish –
neither by birth, descent, or residence. Their performances are
Scottish masquerades, and openly declared so. Unlike their
cousins in North America and Australasia, the European
impersonators only very rarely insist that their Scottish
performances express their ‘ethnic’ identity.
And yet, the European masquerade is a quest for roots and
ancestors, too. This study demonstrates that by playing
Scotsmen, the ‘Scots’ of Europe attempt to reconnect with their
Celtic, Nordic, or otherwise pre-modern heritage. They feel that
their own customs, songs, games, and tribes were lost to the
forces of modernisation – but that some of it survived in the
Scottish periphery. They employ Scotland as a site of memory,
as ersatz history.
This thesis is a study of European nostalgia. It examines the
many men and women who attempt to rediscover their
traditions and histories. It is concerned with what Jay Winter
calls the ‘memory boom’; the growing public preoccupation with
history and its remembrance. It argues that Scotland – or
rather, dreams of Scotland – have a special resonance in the
European memory boom.
This study touches upon the fields of public history, memory,
and festive culture. In order to understand how the past is
remembered and re-imagined in Europe today, the author left
the archive and questioned the commemorators. This study
relies on original fieldwork conducted in Belgium, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Scotland
during 2009 and 2010. The thesis’ focus is a qualitative one
Scale, history and justice in community wind energy: An empirical review
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this recordAlthough there is a clear positive link between community wind energy (CWE) projects and social acceptance, there is still empirical and conceptual ambiguity concerning the details of why. To fill this gap, we revisit foundational papers in this field and then, focusing on empirical case studies between 2010 and 2018 (n = 15), trace how recent research has engaged with existing conceptual frameworks. Most empirical researchers verify the importance of the two key dimensions defined by Walker & Devine-Wright [1]: process and outcome, and then relate this to procedural justice and distributive justice. Meanwhile, the core concept of “community” has been deployed, in both practice and research, in so many different and sometimes ambiguous ways that it remains difficult to assert if, and how, community-based renewable energy policy and siting practice produces high levels of local community acceptance. We suggest that parsing out the scale of investment in wind energy projects and the local historical context of energy transitions add clarity to the Walker & Devine-Wright framework as it relates to CWE; providing important conceptual nuance for guiding policy, developer practices and future empirical research.Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canad

DAS GEBET „VATERUNSER” IN DER KOMPONISTISCHEN SICHT VON CIPRIAN PORUMBESCU – THEOLOGISCHE UND MUSIKOLOGISCHE ASPEKTE (THE PRAYER "OUR FATHER" IN THE COMPOSITIONAL VIEW OF CIPRIAN PORUMBESCU – THEOLOGICAL AND MUSICOLOGICAL ASPECTS)
No full textThe Messianic model of prayer uttered on the Mount of Olives, which has become a standard for the entire treasury of the later church, is our interdisciplinary research today. Given that it was uttered by Jesus Christ himself, it becomes relevant to any believer who wants his daily life to be in continual communion with God. In the liturgical richness of the Christian church of all times, the Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) is an integral part of any time of the day, morning, noon, or evening, because it represents the quintessence of the key words that every Christian visionary must have in his vocabulary. daily. In the following I have prepared research meant to attract the musician or theologian, or the contemporary scientist in the pragmatization of the manipulative requests contained in this grandiose prayer. Thus, we combined theological research with musicological research in an exceptional composition from the old Romanian space. In the history of the local culture and civilization, famous names have remained that have shaped the Romanian academic space from all times. One of these names of scientific relevance was Ciprian Porumbescu. Endowed natively with hard work, he succeeds and confirms over time his passage through time. A plurivalent musician, but also a poet and essayist, he manages to imprint in the history of the second half of the 19th century a unique perspective on the religious and folkloric and patriotic treasure of Bucovina. All this treasure is haloed by its vast improvement in Chernivtsi and Vienna, inscribing itself in the memory of the musical times of the end of the 19th century both far from the native places and especially capitalizing on them with their whole load of centuries in a vision. unique, complex, representative musician of Romanian choral music.
REZUMAT. RUGĂCIUNEA „TATĂL NOSTRU” ÎN VIZIUNEA COMPONISTICĂ A LUI CIPRIAN PORUMBESCU – ASPECTE TEOLOGICE ŞI MUZICOLOGICE. Modelul mesianic al rugăciunii rostit pe Muntele Măslinilor, care a devenit un standard pentru întregul tezaur al bisericii de mai târziu, este cercetarea noastră interdisciplinară de astăzi. Având în vedere că a fost rostită de Însuşi Iisus Hristos, devine relevantă pentru orice credincios care îşi doreşte ca viaţa de zi cu zi să fie în comuniune continuă cu Dumnezeu. În bogăția liturgică a bisericii creştine din toate timpurile, Rugăciunea Domnului (Tatăl nostru) face parte integrantă din orice moment al zilei, dimineaţa, amiaza sau seara, deoarece reprezintă chintesenţa cuvintelor cheie pe care orice vizionar creştin le foloseşte în vocabularul său zilnic. În cele ce urmează am pregătit o cercetare menită să atragă muzicianul sau teologul, ori savantul contemporan în pragmatizarea cererilor cuprinse în această grandioasă rugăciune. Astfel, am îmbinat cercetarea teologică cu cea muzicologică într-o compoziţie de excepţie din spaţiul românesc. În istoria culturii şi civilizaţiei locale au rămas nume celebre care au modelat spaţiul academic românesc din toate timpurile. Unul dintre aceste nume de relevanţă ştiinţifică a fost Ciprian Porumbescu. Înzestrat nativ cu muncă asiduă, reuşeşte să îşi confirme trecerea prin timp. Muzician plurivalent, dar şi poet şi eseist, reuşeşte să imprime în istoria celei de-a doua jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea o perspectivă inedită asupra tezaurului religios, folcloric şi patriotic al Bucovinei. Toată această comoară este aureolată de o vastă pregătire la Cernăuţi şi Viena, înscriindu-se în memoria vremurilor muzicale de la sfârşitul secolului al XIX-lea atât departe de locurile natale şi mai ales valorificându-le cu toată încărcătura lor de secole într-o viziune a unui muzician complex şi reprezentativ al muzicii corale româneşti.

The relevance of non-legal technical and scientific concepts in the interpretation and application of the law of the sea : an analysis of the United Nations convention on the law of the sea
No full textBibliography: p. 363-375.Of necessity LOSC Articles are brief and in some instances vague and requiring interpretation. There is general consensus that LOSC is successful and that its vagueness in certain areas is an asset allowing a variety of otherwise contrary attitudes to be accommodated. 1 It is necessary to analyse the Articles with a view to a better understanding of them and to possibly prepare for some future conference or convention that will more than likely be necessary to resolve some of the remaining problems. To illustrate the need for greater understanding of some of the Articles of LOSC the United Nations Office for Ocean Affairs and Law of the Sea found it necessary to convene a conference of 'experts' during 1993 and 1995 to consider the implications of the complex Articles of LOSC which deal with claims to the continental shelf. Criteria contained in Article 76 allowing for maximum outer limits of the continental shelf and other criteria to justify a claim are complicated and require experience in many fields including marine geology, geography, surveying, and geodesy.2 The intention is therefore to analyse the possible interpretation, application and consequences of the implementation of Articles in LOSC, and more particularly in a Southern African context. Provisions of LOSC, where technical and scientific considerations are crucial, will be selected for consideration. These include those involving geodetic, geographical, geological, survey, navigational, organisational, and social and resource factors
A crisis of political trust? Global trends in institutional trust from 1958 to 2019
No full textIn the study of politics, many theoretical accounts assume that we are experiencing a 'crisis of democracy', with declining levels of political trust. While some empirical studies support this account, others disagree and report 'trendless fluctuations'. We argue that these empirical ambiguities are based on analytical confusion: whether trust is declining depends on the institution, country, and period in question. We clarify these issues and apply our framework to an empirical analysis that is unprecedented in geographic and temporal scope: we apply Bayesian dynamic latent trait models to uncover underlying trends in data on trust in six institutions collated from 3,377 surveys conducted by 50 projects in 143 countries between 1958 and 2019. We identify important differences between countries and regions, but globally we find that trust in representative institutions has generally been declining in recent decades, whereas trust in 'implementing' institutions has been stable or rising.
