Interview with independent dance artist Cecilia Macfarlane
No full textIn this interview, independent dancer Cecilia Macfarlane talks about her project with the Japanese Contemporary Dance Network (JCDN) in 2013. To date, Macfarlane has undertaken eight trips to Japan, primarily to introduce her community dance practice to Japanese artists. However, during her visit in 2013, she was invited to learn folk dances from the north-east of Japan, in the Tohoku region most affected by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. The interview is movingly interwoven with Macfarlane’s experience of losing her son. The sudden devastation following his death is described by Macfarlane as a ‘personal tsunami’, which is discussed alongside the loss and destruction wrought in Japan by earthquake, tsunami and nuclear devastation. In this way, autobiographical material is brought to bear on understanding the experiences of the survivors and to contribute to the development of Macfarlane’s artistic process alongside the project

[Letter] 1914 March 4, South Bethlehem, PA [to] Dr. C.W. Macfarlane, Philadelphia / Percy Hughes.
No full textThe letter is written on Lehigh University Department of Philosophy and Education letterhead.Hughes thanks Macfarlane for the "neat edition of your Founder\u27s Day Address." He then states that philosophers are to blame for not following Hegel\u27s resynthesis of scientific abstraction; if they did so, it would be possible for poets and philosophers as well as scientists to benefit. Hughes states that one of Macfarlane\u27s suggestions has been useful to his work in the past. He then poses a series of questions about the economic model of history as related to Protestantism and Catholicism, asking to be referred to any publications in which Macfarlane addresses these issues. In addition to publishing introductory texts to the study of psychology, Hughes also penned _Four Years at Lehigh : How Make the Most of Them?_ (c. 1929). The letter\u27s recipient, Charles William Macfarlane was an engineer, economist and builder. He attended Lehigh University where he received a degree in civil engineering in 1876 and remained for graduate work. He went to work for William Sellers and Company in Philadelphia. From 1888-1889 he attended the University of Pennsylvania for graduate studies in philosophy, history and economics. He received his Ph.D. in Germany. He wrote theoretical works in economics and donated his works and library to Lehigh University

Re-framing student academic freedom: a capability perspective
No full textThe scholarly debate about academic freedom focuses almost exclusively on the rights of academic faculty. Student academic freedom is rarely discussed and is normally confined to debates connected with the politicisation of the curriculum. Concerns about (student) freedom of speech reflect the dominant role of negative rights in the analysis of academic freedom representing ‘threats’ to academic freedom in terms of rights which may be taken away from a person rather than conferred on them. This paper draws on the distinction between negative and positive rights and the work of Sen (1999) to re-frame student academic freedom as capability. It is argued that capability deprivation has a negative impact on the extent to which students can exercise academic freedom in practice and that student capability can be enhanced through a liberal education that empowers rather than domesticates students
