The Cambridge Greek lexicon
No full text"The Cambridge Greek Lexicon is based upon principles differing from those of existing Greek lexica. Entries are organised according to meaning, with a view to showing the developing senses of words and the relationships between those senses. Other contextual and explanatory information, all expressed in contemporary English, is included, such as the typical circumstances in which a word may be used, thus giving fresh insights into aspects of Greek language and culture. The editors have systematically re-examined the source material (including that which has been discovered since the end of the nineteenth century) and have made use of the most recent textual and philological scholarship. The Lexicon, which has been twenty years in the making, is written by an editorial team based in the Faculty of Classics in Cambridge, consisting of Professor James Diggle (Editor-in-Chief), Dr Bruce Fraser, Dr Patrick James, Dr Oliver Simkin, Dr Anne Thompson, and Mr Simon Westripp."v. 1.

The Babel Lexicon of Language
No full textWhat's the word that describes the process of making supportive noises when you're listening to someone? What is syntax and how does it differ from grammar? Do you know what a morpheme is? And did you know that it's not only an atom that has a nucleus? The Babel Lexicon of Language is an entertaining and accessible introduction to the key terminology involved in the study of language. It defines over 500 terms and uses contemporary language examples, explaining complex issues in an easy-to-understand way. Written by the expert editorial team behind Babel, the popular language magazine, and assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, The Babel Lexicon of Language is an invaluable resource for students, teachers and anyone with an interest in language
Sindonological lexicon
No full textSyndonological research conducted for over a hundred years, focusing mainly on the Shroud of Turin, but also on the Sudarion of Oviedo, the Veil of Manoppello, the Tunica of Argenteuil and the Tilma of Guadalupe. Currently, in many places around the world there are research centers that deal with this issue. Undoubtedly, the leading role in this respect is played by the International Syndonological Center in Turin. In 2017, American, Spanish and Italian centers were joined by a Polish one – the Polish Syndonological Center based in Krakow, which is a branch of the Turin center. In it matured the idea of developing a Syndonological Lexicon, which would summarize over a century of research achievements on the Shroud of Turin and other artifacts related to it. It was developed by a team of scientists affiliated to the following universities: the Jagiellonian University (Kraków), the AGH University of Science and Technology (Kraków), the Pontifical University of John Paul II (Kraków), the University of Gdańsk and the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. Members of the editorial board of the lexicon include members of the Polish Syndonology Centre, and Krzysztof Pilarczyk is the coordinator of the entire project and the editor of the electronic version of the lexicon

Tertiary teaching: Reflecting on human change and influence from the crucible
No full textThis article draws on the metaphor of ‘a crucible’ to describe the tertiary classroom context, where I work in initial teacher education with early childhood education (ECE) student teachers. Stories are told about the classroom participants (students and an educator) in an attempt to find meaning in terms of development, both the students and mine. This storytelling highlights ongoing questions for me about the impact of what happens in the classroom we bring our selves to, and the significance of informed actions for social justice for teachers and teaching. In telling these stories I highlight my deepening understanding of education pedagogy, and perception of myself as a teacher, a practitioner of human influence and change. I hope that these stories echo and illuminate the experiences of other educators as they too seek to understand their practice
Boundaryless career drivers - exploring macro-contextual factors in location decisions
Full text linkThis paper explores what attracts individuals to live in a South East Asian city. It uses a boundaryless career approach that is interested in how people cross traditional career boundaries, including those related to country and location barriers. Going beyond an individual and organizational view, a more extensive model of location decisions is developed that incorporates broad macro-factor career drivers.
"Boundaryless career drivers - exploring macro-contextual factors in location decisions" published in Journal of Global Mobility: The Home of Expatriate Management Research has been selected by the journal's editorial team as the Outstanding Paper of 2014
The First Cut; the locus of decision at the limits of subjectivity
Full text linkThis project examines the concept of decision in philosophical writing, in particular the question of whether subjectivity can be said to constitute a ‘locus’ of decision. The writing of Søren Kierkegaard is the main focus of discussion. Giorgio Agamben, Michel Henry and Jacques Derrida also provide important contributions.
Although for Kierkegaard ‘all decisiveness is rooted in subjectivity’, subjective agency takes the form of an active surrendering to an external unknown authority (God). Kierkegaard uses the term ‘leap of faith’ to describe the moment of decision where subjective transformation occurs.
For Derrida, any decision requires an undecidable leap beyond all reasoning made in preparation for that decision. He extends a reading of faith beyond the theistic by suggesting that Kierkegaard’s unknowable God could also be another name for the ‘structure of subjectivity.’
Giorgio Agamben’s writing on the concept of human life situated at the threshold of categories (socio-political, philosophical, physiological and so on), helps to further the exploration of subjectivity as the ‘locus’ of decision. Michel Henry’s work on The Essence of Manifestation provides a focus for a discussion on the ‘radical subjectivity’ that Kierkegaard proposes as the fulcrum of decision.
The research project as a whole maintains a synergy between these philosophical concerns and the form of their explication. The thesis is made up of both written text and DVD documentation of live works. These instances of practice, whose form and mode of presentation were informed by a specific aspect of the research, are integrated into the thesis to constitute ‘chapters’. The practice can and does function independently in other contexts. However, what is presented in this research document constitutes the outcome of my practice-based PhD project and includes both the ‘theoretical’ and ‘practice’ elements.

The Lexicon of Honors Education
Full text linkAs part of the National Collegiate Honors Council’s (2022) collection of essays about the value of honors to its graduates (1967–2019), the author reflects on the personal and professional impacts of the honors experience.
The word of the year, as my LIU Brooklyn Honors Program peers and I would identify it in 1979, was “juxtaposition,” not a word I was very familiar with before entering college but one that was tossed about with abandon by professors in my first-year seminars (including Bernice Braid, director and co-founder of the LIU Brooklyn Honors Program) and that would become a close friend by my spring essay on Madame Bovary. Seeing things in relation to each other would prove to be an important feature in my education. As a first-generation college student, I had little forewarning about what college would hold in store. My selection of an undergraduate institution was pragmatic, chosen primarily because of a generous scholarship and proximity to home, where I continued to live during my undergraduate years. Uninspired reasons perhaps, but the outcome proved fortuitous. Those team-taught seminars in literature, history, and philosophy, capped at 16 to encourage robust participation, were the single most important part of my undergraduate education. The courses, which met consecutively thrice weekly, shared a theme and kept pace with each other, marching through historical periods, allowing us to see the connections among the disciplines and demonstrating how ideas manifested in events and artistic creation. Once a month or so, three cohorts of students met together along with six professors to discuss the places where these disciplines overlapped, but to be honest the imbrications were everpresent, encouraging the students to see how ideology erupts in art and vice versa
