Critical pedagogy in hard financial times
No full textPeter Mayo takes issue with education financing not from an economic or technical
viewpoint, but from a philosophical and systemic one, drawing on critical pedagogy.
There is no sense, this article argues, to talk of higher education or its funding without
reference to the capitalist system which the mainstream education discourse reaffirms. The author concludes with an alternative vision of lifelong learning as a social act for the creation and enhancing of democratic spaces, reflected in the ongoing global “Occupy” protests for social equality.peer-reviewe

Object drop in L3 acquisition
No full textThe topic of cross-linguistic differences regarding the overt or null expression of arguments has been considered both in first (L1) and second language (L2) acquisition. There is abundant literature on both subject and object drop with different language pairings but the issue has not been considered in third language (L3) acquisition. The main goal of this article is to analyse the L3 interlanguage of Basque-Spanish bilinguals regarding the acceptability and interpretation of null objects. The three languages involved in the study display different semantic requirements for the target structure, with Basque allowing for a null object option across-the-board, Spanish only under certain semantic conditions, and English disallowing it in the standard variety. Two trilingual, one bilingual and a control group (n = 119) rated experimental items embedded in context, presented in a written and aural format on a computer screen. Findings point to the successful acquisition of the target structure, as well as a clear influence of Spanish in the three experimental groups

A Statistical Scientist Meets a Philosopher of Science: A Conversation between Sir David Cox and Deborah Mayo (as recorded, June, 2011)
No full textSir David Cox's Statistical Philosophy and its Relevance to Today's Statistical Controversies
No full text<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>I discuss Sir David Cox's views of the nature and importance of statistical foundations and their relevance to today's controversies about statistical inference, particularly in using statistical significance tests. A central theme in Cox's statistical philosophy is the importance of calibrating methods by considering their behavior in (actual or hypothetical) repeated sampling. Two key questions are open to philosophical controversy: </p><p>How can the frequentist calibration be used as an evidential or inferential assessment?<br>How can we ensure that the hypothetical long-run used in calibration is relevant to the specific data?</p><p>I will discuss the answers that emerge from Cox's work and our jointly written papers, Mayo and Cox (2006) and Cox and Mayo (2010) on statistical significance testing, objectivity in statistics, and conditioning.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
