Empty spaces and the value of symbols: Estonia's 'war of monuments' from another angle
No full textTaking as its point of departure the recent heightened discussion surrounding publicly sited monuments in Estonia, this article investigates the issue from the perspective of the country's eastern border city of Narva, focusing especially upon the restoration in 2000 of a 'Swedish Lion' monument to mark the 300th anniversary of Sweden's victory over Russia at the first Battle of Narva. This commemoration is characterised here as a successful local negotiation of a potentially divisive past, as are subsequent commemorations of the Russian conquest of Narva in 1704. A recent proposal to erect a statue of Peter the Great in the city, however, briefly threatened to open a new front in Estonia's ongoing 'war of monuments'. Through a discussion of these episodes, the article seeks to link the Narva case to broader conceptual issues of identity politics, nationalism and post-communist transition
Working in partnership: Opportunities, Values, and Impact
No full textThis chapter reflects upon the value of working in partnership to challenge disability hate crime. As authors, we are writing this chapter from two distinct positions; one author is a manager at People First Merseyside and the other a disability hate crime researcher. Our own research partnership has encouraged us to consider the value of working in collaboration to be able to influence change at a range of local, regional and national levels. In this chapter, we share the values of practice that underpin People First Merseyside such as working in ways that enable empowerment, build confidence and change the balance of power relations. These values, we argue, help to create a peer-led, supportive environment which has been vital in helping to shape productive, multi-agency partnerships that harness the strength, knowledge and expertise of disabled people within the community. Drawing upon examples of local campaigns within the community, research collaboration, and the delivery of hate crime training, we hope to encourage others to think about future collaborations with user-led organisations
Norden, Reframed
No full textThis paper calls for Norden to be understood as a metaframe. Related formulations like “Nordic art” or “Nordic welfare” function as mesoframes. These trigger multiple framing devices. A cache of related framing devices constitutes a framing archive. Framing devices work best when operating unobtrusively such that inclusions, exclusions and inconsistencies are condoned or naturalised. Their artifice, however, becomes apparent whenever a frame is questioned. Questioning or criticising a frame gives rise to a framing dispute. The theoretical justification for these typologies is provided at the outset. This schema is then applied to a select range of empirical examples drawn largely from the disciplinary frames (Ernst 1996) of art history and museum studies. Despite this specificity it is envisaged that the general principles set out below can and will be used to address a variety of devices, disputes and archives in Norden and beyond

MOTIVATING STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASSROOM DISCUSSIONS THROUGH THE SOCRATIC CIRCLE APPROACH
No full textAccording to the staff of the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Zenica, second year students are not easily motivated to participate in classroom discussions. Most of the time, students are encouraged to participate, but only a selected few do. When asked why that is so, students reported that they feel uncomfortable, mostly because they feel that they have noting important to share or that they are embarrassed to speak in front of their colleagues. The author of this paper took it upon herself to try to encourage students to open up and participate in classroom discussions. For the purpose of this research, the author has worked closely with two groups of second year students at the Department of English Language and Literature, introducing the Socratic Circle approach to ensure maximum student participation. This paper describes the steps that were taken, the results of the first study, and the results of the second study which was conducted a semester later. The author claims that by using the Socratic Circle approach it is possible to motivate every student to participate in classroom discussions on a regular basis, and that the students appreciate the use of the Socratic Circle Rubric because they know what is expected of them, as well as how their participation will be graded.
