Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Theoretical frameworks for the learning of geometrical reasoning
No full textWith the growth in interest in geometrical ideas it is important to be clear about the nature of geometrical reasoning and how it develops. This paper provides an overview of three theoretical frameworks for the learning of geometrical reasoning: the van Hiele model of thinking in geometry, Fischbein’s theory of figural concepts, and Duval’s cognitive model of geometrical reasoning. Each of these frameworks provides theoretical resources to support research into the development of geometrical reasoning in students and related aspects of visualisation and construction. This overview concludes that much research about the deep process of the development and the learning of visualisation and reasoning is still needed
The shaping of student knowledge: learning with dynamic geometry software
No full textThe focus of this paper is a software genre usually referred to as ‘dynamic geometry’ because of the ability of the user to dynamically manipulate geometrical figures created with the software tool. Using data from a longitudinal study of 12-13 students’ use of dynamic geometry software, the focus of the analysis is on the interpretations the students make of geometrical objects and relationships when using this form of software. The analysis suggests that the students’ mathematical reasoning is shaped by their interactions with the software in that their ability to explain geometrical facts and relationships evolves from imprecise, ‘everyday’ expressions, through reasoning that is overtly mediated by the software environment, to mathematical explanations of the geometric situation that transcend the particular tool being used. Such findings suggest that curriculum initiatives that encourage the use of dynamic geometry software are appropriate but that the incorporation of such software into classroom practices is unlikely to be straightforward

Boseto leg.; MNHN-IU- 2018-2887. Description See de Mazancourt et al. (2019b). Habitat This species is largely rheophile and prefers fresh and well-oxygenated waters from the lower course to the higher course of rivers. Colour pattern The live general colour of the body is yellowish and slightly translucent. Numerous red spots are visible all over the body. Sometimes, a lighter longitudinal dorsal band is present stretching from the rostrum to the telson (see de Mazancourt et al. 2019b). Distribution This species seems to have a wide distribution: Solomon Islands (Malaita and Choiseul), Fiji, Samoa, Cook (Rarotonga) and French Polynesia (Society and Austral archipelagos). Remarks Recently de Mazancourt et al. (2019b) have revised the species of the C. weberi group from Polynesia. Contrary to what Edmondson (1935) wrote, C. weberi does not occur in Polynesia but four other species of the C. weberi complex. Among these species, one also occurs in the Solomon Islands: C. tupaia. Curiously, although the dorsal teeth of the rostrum are situated all along its length, with sometimes 1–3 of them situated on the carapace behind the orbital margin in French Polynesia, in Samoa (Upolu) and the Cook Islands, specimens from the Solomon Islands have dorsal teeth situated considerably anterior to the orbital margin with none of them situated on the carapace behind the orbital margin (see Fig. 16).Published as part of Mazancourt, Valentin de, Boseto, David, Marquet, Gerard & Keith, Philippe, 2020, Solomon's Gold Mine: Description or redescription of 24 species of Caridina (Crustacea: Decapoda: Atyidae) freshwater shrimps from the Solomon Islands, including 11 new species, pp. 1-86 in European Journal of Taxonomy 696 on pages 52-53, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.696, http://zenodo.org/record/397343
The mediation of mathematical learning through the use of pedagogical tools: a sociocultural analysis
No full textA sociocultural analysis suggests that pedagogical artifacts employed in the teaching and learning of mathematics both enable and constrain learning. This paper summarises three classroom studies of mathematics learning that have utilised a sociocultural approach. Each of the studies indicates how insight can be gained into the ways in which students attempt to make sense of the mathematics they encounter
Interview with Keith Groty
No full textKeith Groty received all three of his degrees from the University of Michigan and came to MSU to teach in the School of Labor and Industrial Relations in 1968. In 1971 he was named interim director of the School and in 1972 he was appointed Assistant Vice President of Personnel and Employee Relations. During his tenure as Assistant Vice President he created a system to recognize equity adjustments, particularly for female salaries. This kept faculty and MSU unions pretty much on the same level as far as benefits were concerned. He also implemented a system to handle healthcare and wage increases with all the campus unions at the same time in coalition. Groty helped create the Retirees Service Corps and the Retirees Association and retired in January 1998. Topics/people covered in the interview include: Walter Adams; APA; Sam Baker; Bob Banks; Larry Boger; Jack Breslin; John Cantlon; Pat Carrigan; classification study; collective bargaining; Terry Denbow; John DiBiaggio; faculty unions; Gordon Guyer; gender equity; John Hannah; Edgar Harden; job security; Charles Killingsworth; Herman King; Philip Korth; Claire and Cecil Mackey; M Peter McPherson; MEA; MERC; CTU; equity adjustments in female faculty salaries; history of collective bargaining/labor relations; job classification system; job security issues; Nisbet Building; outsourcing; Retirees Association; Retirees Service Corps; unionization of graduate teaching assistants; Jim Nash; Oakland University; Tom Patton; H Owen Reed; Barbara Reeves; School of Labor and Industrial Relations; David Scott; Don Stevens; Clifton Wharton; Roger Wilkinson; Lee Winde
