Changing spaces – the re-shaping of (elite) education through internationalisation
No full textFinally, Claire Maxwell, in the concluding piece seeks to offer some new understandings about how internationalisation practices within education are altering our conceptions of what is elite. Drawing on the various contributions in the book, Maxwell highlights four critical juxtapositions in the interpretation and implementation of internationalisation across various education spaces. She then makes a case for taking a ‘glonacal’, multi-scalar approach to the study of this issue, and concludes by suggesting how geographer Thrift’s (2009) work on four spaces could be usefully brought to bear on the question of internationalisation and how claims to elite-ness within education are made, received and being re-articulated
The urgent need for an academic revolution: the rational pursuit of wisdom
No full textWe are in a state of impending crisis. And the fault lies in part with academia. For two centuries or so, academia has been devoted to the pursuit of knowledge and technological know-how. This has enormously increased our power to act which has, in turn, brought us both all the great benefits of the modern world and the crises we now face. Modern science and technology have made possible modern industry and agriculture, the explosive growth of the world’s population, global warming, modern armaments and the lethal character of modern warfare, destruction of natural habitats and rapid extinction of species, immense inequalities of wealth and power across the globe, pollution of earth, sea and air, even the AIDS epidemic (AIDS being spread by modern travel). All these global problems, involving preventable deaths of millions, have arisen because some of us have acquired unprecedented powers to act without acquiring the capacity to act wisely. We urgently need to bring about a revolution in universities so that the basic intellectual aim becomes, not knowledge merely, but rather to help humanity acquire the capacity to resolve conflicts and problems of living in more cooperatively rational ways. The revolution we need would affect every branch and aspect of academic inquiry

No full textParaseraphs cantamessae Maxwell, Rymer & Congdon, 2018 Figure 7C 1974 Paraseraphs cf. armoricensis Cossmann — Jung 1974, p. 37, pl. 11, figs. 1–6. 2018 Paraseraphs cantamessae Maxwell, Rymer & Congdon, p. 37, fig. 1. Type material. Holotype — USNM 135097 A. The type measures 56.9 mm in length and 11.6 mm in width (Maxwell et al. 2018a). Type locality. White Limestone Group, Port Antonio, Jamaica [Priabonian]. Diagnosis. The shell is very slender with slightly concave whorls. There is a distinctive elongation of the shell on later whorls. The base of the shell is anteriorly quadrate. The shell spire is acute. Distribution. EOCENE—Priabonian— Jamaica Port Antonio (Jung 1974). Remarks. Paraseraphs cantamessae is comprised of eight specimens, which are internal casts. The shape of P. cantamessae is much narrower than the larger and more dorso-ventrally convex P. procerus (Merian, 1844), which shares a similar geological record. P. cantamessae is similar to other Paraseraphs from Europe, and particularly to P. armoricensis (Cossmann, 1897), and was likened to that taxon by Jung (1974), but occurs after that species disappears during the Bartonian. Paraseraphs canatemessae is similar also to P. propedistortus (de Gregorio, 1880), being slender with an acute spire, but the latter is restricted to the Lutetian of the Mediterranean.Published as part of Maxwell, Stephen J., Rymer, Tasmin L. & Congdon, Bradley C., 2021, Resolving phylogenetic and classical nomenclature: A revision of Seraphsidae Jung, 1974 (Gastropoda: Neostromboidae), pp. 401-453 in Zootaxa 4990 (3) on pages 428-429, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4990.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/502677
