Life Writing Research Past and Present: Interview with Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson
No full textOn 16 November, 2017, the Austrian “Netzwerk Biographieforschung”,1 a network of life writing scholars and practitioners from various disciplines (history, literary studies, pedagogics, archival work, art, musicology) hosted its twelfth workshop at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna. The organisers (Sarah Herbe, Julia Lajta-Novak and Melanie Unseld) were delighted to welcome two very special guests: Prof. Sidonie Smith and Prof. Julia Watson, whose vital contribution to autobiography theory need hardly be explained in the context of this journal. They had been invited on the occasion of the recent publication of Life Writing in the Long Run: A Smith and Watson Autobiography Studies Reader (Maize Books, 2016, available free online), which features a cross-section of their scholarship in the field over three decades. The following is an excerpt from the interview Sarah Herbe and Julia Lajta-Novak conducted with Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson, which addressed the differences between autobiographical and biographical modes, recent theoretical interventions in the field of life-writing studies, and topical issues such as the impact of “post-truth” on auto/biography scholars and the implications of the #MeToo movement as a massive autobiographical project. This work was supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under Grant V543-G23

New Jersey Charter School Funding
No full textAre New Jersey charter schools underfunded relative to district schools?
Advocates’ claims that charter schools are receiving almost 50% less than they should convinced the Christie Administration and the New Jersey Legislature to shift an additional $107.6 million from school districts to charter schools for the combined 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years.
However, claims of dramatic underfunding of charter schools are based on faulty comparisons and are not accurate. The reality of charter school funding is much more complicated than advocates suggest.
There are differences in the per-pupil funding levels of individual charter schools, just as there are differences in funding levels among school districts. However, all New Jersey charter schools are receiving at least what they should under the state’s charter school law. And, some charter schools are actually funded at higher levels than their sending school districts, particularly when considering they're much less expensive to educate student populations.
The confusion surrounding charter school funding is understandable given the complexity of the charter school funding formula and the fact that the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) does not make charter school funding information accessible to the public, as it does school district data.
This report is intended to help dispel the confusion around charter school funding by providing a detailed explanation of the mechanics of that funding
