She attended school in Tanzania, and felt a part of Tanzanian society, growing up fluent in Swahili. In her youth, she became acquainted with many who later became Tanzanian leaders. She attended the University of Chicago, where she completed a B.A and M.A., specializing in Middle East Studies. She then entered a Northwestern doctoral program, completing her political science degree in 1990. After a brief stint at the MacArthur Foundation, working in the Program on Peace and International Cooperation, she joined the UW faculty in 1992, with a joint appointment in political science and women’s studies. Her first book, Changing the Rules, explores the impact of informalization of much of the economy in Tanzania, and its impact on household relations, as the real value of men’s government employment declined, while the returns to self-employed women increased. In subsequent books, she has explored the role of women in politics in Uganda, and in comparative terms across Africa, documenting the remarkable increase in female leadership roles. She has also written an important critical study of the Museveni regime in Uganda. She has recently completed a term as President of the African Studies Association; under her leadership, critical reforms were undertaken which rescued ASA from a serious crisis

A history of Iraq
No full textIn response to current events, Charles Tripp has updated his incisive book A History of Iraq to include developments as recent as mid-2002. Since its establishment by the British in the 1920s, Iraq has witnessed the rise and fall of successive authoritarian regimes, competing ruthlessly for power and resources. This struggle culminated in the dictatorship of Saddam Husain, who still maintains his grip over a fragmented and increasingly isolated society. Tripp's book traces Iraq's political history from its nineteenth-century roots in the Ottoman empire, to the development of the state, its transformation from monarchy to republic and the rise of the Ba'th party and the ascendancy and current rule of Saddam Husain. This is a story of social conflict, of power struggles between rival clans, of hostility and wars with neighboring states, as well as of their aftermath, and Iraq's deteriorating relations with the West. A History of Iraq offers incisive analysis of the making of a modern state and how it creates its own distinctive politics. Charles Tripp is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Political Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. He is the co-author of Iran-Saudi Arabia Relations and Regional Order (Oxford, 1997) and Iran and Iraq at War (Westview, 1998)
Critical incidents in teaching: Developing professional judgement
No full textGood teachers use good techniques and routines, but techniques and routines alone do not produce good teaching. The real art of teaching lies in teachers' professional judgement because in teaching there is seldom one "right answer". This combination of experience, flexibility, informed opinion and constant self-monitoring is not easy to acquire, but in this re-released classic edition of Critical Incidents in Teaching – in print since 1993 and which includes a new introduction from the author - David Tripp shows how teachers can draw on their own classroom experience to develop it.
In this practical and unique guide, the author offers a range of strategies for approaching critical incidents and gives advice on how to develop a critical incident file. Illustrated with numerous classroom examples for discussion and reflection, Critical Incidents in Teaching is for everyone concerned with the development of professionalism in teaching. Although aimed at teachers who want to improve their own practice and pass on their expertise to others, it is also part of David’s long term agenda to improve the public status of teaching and to encourage more inductive research in education; he sees classrooms as situations to be explained rather than as places in which to apply theories developed in other disciplines
C. Howard Tripp and brewery management: the emergence of service sector management 1850–1914
No full text1892 saw the publication of Brewery Management by C. Howard Tripp, the first book in the sector to address problems of management, as opposed to the technical problems of brewing.This article explores the growth of management knowledge in this sector, correcting the tendency to focus on manufacturing when exploring the roots of management. An examination of Tripp's account also indicates some of the barriers to the spread of management practices. The analysis, informed by institutionalist perspectives, suggests that we pay careful attention to the structural and cultural influences on management practices

An optimized Design for a shared vehicle Service
No full textLeasePlan Tripp is a new Service proposition that answres major changes the mobility and fleet management industry is facing. Before the Tripp pilot went live in February 2021, several questions emerged: How could the Tripp Service be improved and scaled up effectively? Therefore, this graduation project assignment was raised: “Design an optimized shared vehicle Service for LeasePlan”.The optimized shared vehicle Service for LeasePlan Tripp consists of the current Service with the adaption of multiple building blocks that solve a design paradox. This design paradox is an obstacle for the current Tripp Service proposition and its future growth and needs to be overcome. The paradox is discovered in the analysis phase by conducting internal interviews with in-house experts and doing a trend research in academic literature. During the qualitative interviews in the Design phase, it was confirmed by the potential LeasePlan Tripp users and mentioned how it could be overcome. Users are willing to perceive a shared vehicle equally to a private vehicle if it is just as flexible and available. A shared vehicle should have the same feeling as a private.The Customer Journey of the current Service led to several Service opportunities, such as; providing a pro-active Service that is always one step ahead of the user & embedding several marketing elements that increase usage and engagement. These opportunities are also processed into the proposed building blocks and improved Business Model for Tripp.The improved Business Model consists of an experience-oriented component that could be able to increase profits the Service will make over the years. Moreover, this improved Business Model allows LeasePlan to provide an even better experience to the user than when they are driving their own vehicle. This is done by providing luxurious vehicles and the organization of events that are especially for Tripp users. At the end of the project, the building blocks that had the most potential: integrating a dynamic pricing structure and a vehicle exchange platform, were presented in the future concept of LeasePlan Tripp. This future concept was assessed on its gaps and possible fixes, which was input for the final upscale advice.Strategic Product Desig
