No full textThe Burnett Archive of Working Class Autobiographies was gathered together by John Burnett, David Vincent and David Mayall whilst compiling their three volumes annotated bibliography, "The Autobiography of the Working Class" (Harvester Press, 1984-1989). This book includes descriptions of unpublished autobiographies and indicates their locations. Excerpts from some of the autobiographies have been published in "Destiny obscure: autobiographies of childhood, education, and family from the1820s to the 1920s", edited by John Burnett (Routledge 1994 and A. Lane, 1982). The authors "sought to identify not only the large numbers of printed works scattered in various local history libraries and record offices, but also extant private memoirs, many of which remain hidden in family attics, known only to the author and a handful of relatives" (Introduction to vol.1, p. xxix). The criteria for inclusion were: the writers were working class for at least part of their lives; they wrote in English; and they lived for some time in England, Scotland or Wales between 1790 and 1945. John Burnett was professor of social history at Brunel University from 1972 to 1990.Norman Entwistle's (born 1908) record of his working life as a gardener on a country estate. Entwistle also comments on domestic chores, celebrations and village life
The disposition to understand for oneself at university:Integrating learning processes with motivation and metacognition
No full textBackgroundA re-analysis of several university-level interview studies has suggested that some students show evidence of a deep and stable approach to learning, along with other characteristics that support the approach. This combination, it was argued, could be seen to indicate a disposition to understand for oneself.AimTo identify a group of students who showed high and consistent scores on deep approach, combined with equivalently high scores on effort and monitoring studying, and to explore these students' experiences of the teaching–learning environments they had experienced.SampleRe-analysis of data from 1,896 students from 25 undergraduate courses taking four contrasting subject areas in eleven British universities.MethodsInventories measuring approaches to studying were given at the beginning and the end of a semester, with the second inventory also exploring students' experiences of teaching. K-means cluster analysis was used to identify groups of students with differing patterns of response on the inventory scales, with a particular focus on students showing high, stable scores.ResultsOne cluster clearly showed the characteristics expected of the disposition to understand and was also fairly stable over time. Other clusters also had deep approaches, but also showed either surface elements or lower scores on organized effort or monitoring their studying.ConclusionsCombining these findings with interview studies previously reported reinforces the idea of there being a disposition to understand for oneself that could be identified from an inventory scale or through further interviews
Making All Deserts Bloom: The Racist Space/Time ofUAE-Israel Collaboration
No full textSince the normalisation of political relations between the UnitedArab Emirates and Israel, the so-called ‘desert tech’ industry hasemerged as a key area of economic collaboration. Desert techcombines technological innovation with speculation and entre-preneurialism, claiming to offer lucrative yet sustainable solutionsto the specific dangers of climate change in arid environments. Byweaving together their respective climate and security expertiseand technologies, political visions, and investment capital, Israeland the UAE promise to save arid states the world over fromecological catastrophe – making themselves and their politicaland territorial projects indispensable in the process. In this paper,we unravel their promethean vision of making ‘all deserts bloom’.We first situate this vision in the desert’s tangible histories ofcolonial environmentalism, retracing the inextricable relationshipof climate science to the violent expropriation, securitisation andtransformation of Indigenous life and land by white, Europeansettlers. We then follow contemporary UAE-Israel desert-techcollaboration across the geographically expansive and historicallylayered sites and forms of violence that facilitate, circulate, andsecure this industry’s vision of the future. In so doing, we arguethat normalisation is underwritten by a racialised temporality –one that constructs desert landscapes as eternally on the thresh-old of climate catastrophe, erasing the deep, historical relation-ships of Palestinians, Bedouin and other racialised subjects to aridenvironments.You hear me friend far away far away; you hear my prayer . . .
