Trabalhadores marítimos internacionais e transnacionalismo no século XXI (nternational maritime workers and transnationalism in the 21st century)
No full textThis work is the result not only of years of dedication by British researcher Helen Sampson, but also of her courage to face the challenges of life and maritime work - which, it is worth remembering, is characterized by a harsh and predominantly male environment. Through her investigation, whose motto is transnationalism, the author strips the daily lives of individuals who, although central to the world trade in goods, are often made invisible. It should be noted, however, that the ethnography presented does not adhere to the description of the context and challenges of maritime work, as Helen Sampson also offers us a study on the families of some sailors. In bringing up the family and work experiences of this important category that operates in the sphere of capitalist circulation, the author overturns some of the stereotypes and convictions surrounding the so-called globalization , showing that the global opening movement is not essentially inclusive, at least not for everyone

Supporting skill development through flexible task based design
No full textTertiary institutions are motivated to offer greater flexibility in the delivery of their courses in order to increase student enrolments, retention and outcomes. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) provide a means of delivering course content to learners who cannot be present on campus at specific class times. This poster will graphically demonstrate how the design of blended task-based learning environments offers flexibility of time, place, student learning style, and teaching and learning approach, all of which is more suitable to the needs of today’s learners

Moving to Inequality: Neighborhood Effects and Experiments Meet Social Structure
No full textThe Moving to Opportunity (MTO) housing experiment has proven to be an important intervention not just in the lives of the poor, but in social science theories of neighborhood effects. Competing causal claims have been the subject of considerable disagreement, culminating in the debate between Clampet‐Lundquist and Massey and Ludwig et al. in this issue. This article assesses the debate by clarifying analytically distinct questions posed by neighborhood‐level theories, reconceptualizing selection bias as a fundamental social process worthy of study in its own right rather than a statistical nuisance, and reconsidering the scientific method of experimentation, and hence causality, in the social world of the city. The author also analyzes MTO and independent survey data from Chicago to examine trajectories of residential attainment. Although MTO provides crucial leverage for estimating neighborhood effects on individuals, as proponents rightly claim, this study demonstrates the implications imposed by a stratified urban structure and how MTO simultaneously provides a new window on the social reproduction of concentrated inequality.SociologyVersion of Recor
