人类消失后,世界会怎样

如果人类突然从地球上消失,世界将会变得怎样?科幻作家们曾不止一次地在自己的作品中描绘过人类消失后的情景。曾经有未来学家设想,急剧增长的工业生产和逐渐恶化的自然环境最终会导致人类走向毁灭。但无论是科幻作家,还是未来学家,在描述人类消失后的地球时都难免偏离科学的分析。     

气温持续升高,地球将会怎样

根据科学家的测算,如果按照当前的温室气体排放速度,20年内就会达到升温2℃这一地球生态警戒线。这将导致在社会发展和人类历史等诸多层面出现灾难性后果。美国南部地区是美国的大粮仓。如果全球的气温上升1℃的话,美国的"粮仓"将变为大漠,从而将人们逼出这一地区。今天全球最热的撒哈拉大沙漠气温上升1℃,美国粮仓变大漠     

What Tertiary Institutions will be like and how we are to manage them through the 1980s

This essay relates collective bargaining in American higher education to the evolution of collegial governance and its erosion on some campuses. The diversity of American higher education and the industrial model of collective bargaining being transplanted to campuses explain the modest contribution made by collective bargaining to university governance. Based on the author's experience as sometime General Secretary of the American Association of University Professors, he concludes that faculty should have the right to decide to bargain collectively but that the cost of collective bargaining usually outweighs its benefits. He recommends that strengthening collegial governance is a preferable strategy for the future.     

What might the school of 2030 be like? An exercise in social science fiction

ABSTRACT

This article addresses the deliberately speculative question of ‘What might the school of 2030 be like?’, with a specific focus on the influences of digital technologies. The article adopts the methodological approach of ‘social science fiction’ to explore the ways in which digital technologies might be used in one Australian high school in 2030 (Lakeside), and what this might mean for the people whose lives are enmeshed with these technologies. Through the co-construction of five social science fiction ‘vignettes’ about life within Lakeside, the article considers the increasing prevalence of dataveillance, digital deskilling and the de-territorialization of schooling. The article then goes on to consider changing relationships between time/place, material and coded structures, as well as the increasingly platformized and data-driven nature of schooling in the 2020s. The article ends by considering the ways in which critical scholars can continue to use the methodological approach of social science fiction writing with regard to unpacking the politics of digital education futures.

‘What I thought university would be like … ’ close reading as collaborative performance

ABSTRACT

This article develops an account of an extracurricular reading group convened in a small theatre/performance department, consisting of postgraduate and honours students. The origins of the group in a formal seminar/class are discussed, including a shift in syllabus design based upon breadth of reading/content to one based upon depth, taking up the practice of reading as a core classroom activity. This activity is understood as a technē: an aided bringing forth of disclosure, revealing reading to be a constructive, temporal, embodied labour, rather than a cognitive function, involving simply the decoding or retrieval of meaning from written language. Drawing upon the reflections of participants in the reading group, the article documents the rich outcomes of such a practice, arguing that, notwithstanding the apparent costliness of such a model of pedagogy for university classes, the benefits are palpable, and worth arguing for.     

Procrastination—Not all it's put off to be

Although procrastination has devastating negative effects on performance, many of us employ common myth‐like justifications for it, thereby attempting to alleviate the guilt and stress that commonly accompany putting things off when we know we should not. Working better under pressure, being more creative at the last minute, and avoiding tasks because of perfectionism are three rationalizations that we often give for delay. The consequences of procrastination include missed deadlines, health and financial problems, guilt, stress, and work that isn't our best. To overcome a tendency to procrastinate, focusing on avoiding it is not the best response. Instead, adopting a task‐oriented, problem‐solving focus or set of strategies can work even for people with a long history of putting things off. These strategies include increasing the perceived value of a task, adjusting expectations for success, reducing impulsive temptations, and approaching larger projects or those with longer timelines in smaller segments with progress checks along the way. Procrastinators can learn how to change their approach to getting work done and thereby reduce their tendency to delay.     

按劳分配与按劳动力价值分配

本文认为在社会主义初级阶段,个人消费品的基本分配方式是按劳动力价值分配。因为,在现阶段,劳动者个人同生产物质条件发生一定程度的分离,国家与劳动者个人交换,只能遵循“等价交换”的原则;在现阶段,劳动者既是国家的主人,又是国家的“雇员”,其收入分配,既按劳动力价值分配;又参与剩余价值的分割,并不否认劳动者主人翁地位
