“中西合璧”的家族子孙与文化反思——民族国家建构与中国现代家族小说的人物形象（二）

近代以来,西学东渐给中国社会带来诸多变化。西方文化中的优秀部分造就了一批觉悟的新国民,而西方资本主义文化中与生俱来的各种负面因素与传统文化中的糟粕也迅速结合,在中国社会催生了一批＂中西合璧＂的怪胎,这些人物在民族国家的建构以及现代化的追求中发挥着消极的,甚至是破坏性的作用。中国现代家族小说作者通过对新派家族子孙形象的塑造,深刻地反思了民族文化再造过程中间出现的问题。

‘If your only tool is a hammer,any issue will look like a nail’: building conflict resolution and mediation capacity in South African universities

This article commences with an explanation of some of the technical terms in the field of conflict resolution. It then examines the common ways which parties to a conflict use in an effort to deal with it and concludes that, on a number of criteria, collaborative conflict resolution is the superior method. Using some representative examples of conflicts, estimates are made of the direct and indirect costs of typical conflicts in South African universities. Given the magnitude of these costs, a conflict resolution and mediation service is proposed to build a culture of resolving conflict in each university. A cost benefit analysis demonstrates that the benefits of such a service—which result from reduced duration of conflicts and reduced likelihood of escalation of conflicts to more expensive levels—may be three times greater than its costs, making it a highly desirable investment for universities to undertake.     

Career Narratives of African American Female College Students: Insights for College Counselors

The authors collected narrative data from 11 African American female college students at a predominantly White institution using the Career Construction Interview (Savickas & Hartung, 2012 ), the Future Career Autobiography (Rehfuss, 2009 ), and a qualitative career experiences questionnaire. Using the constant comparison method (Strauss & Corbin, 1990 ), the authors uncovered 4 overarching themes based on the unique experiences of participants. The authors present insights for college counselors providing career development services.     

全球化背景下英语非洲工人运动与民族国家认同

西方主导下的全球化为获取廉价劳动力,先是借助殖民政权直接干预、以五大类措施限制非洲人工人运动,激发起非洲工人的共同体意识,该意识同民族主义意识相结合,形成非洲独立国家的稳定基础之一;之后又借新自由主义策略压低工人福利,破坏民族共识,工人运动再次兴起。非洲国家人民分三种路径重新凝结民族共识,谋求突破"新殖民主义"罗网。     

Choice of Holland's Social Type College Majors for U.S. Racial/Ethnic Groups

We used national data to study the longitudinal effects of several variables on choice of Holland (1997) social type college majors versus other majors. We examined these effects for four of the five major U.S. racial/ethnic groups, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, Blacks, and Whites. Effects of mathematics scores and gender on choice of social majors were fairly consistent across racial/ethnic groups, whereas effects of reading scores and SES differed across racial/ethnic groups. Results for Whites were most consistent with Holland's theoretical formulations regarding the effects of variables on choice of social-type educational/occupational environments.     

南非私立高等教育的发展及政策干预

纵观历史,南非私立高等教育一直处于主流高等教育之外,在边缘地带发展.20世纪90年代后,在有利的政策环境和经济利益驱动下,主要借助公私高校伙伴关系,南非私立高校获得了新的发展机遇,但南非政府随之加大了对私立高校的监管,政府的政策干预在南非国内引发了激烈的争论.     

African American College Students,the Black Church,and Counseling

African American undergraduate students face numerous challenges during college; however, they are less likely to seek help from college counseling services. Often, African Americans seek support from spiritual resources. In the current phenomenological study, participants shared in a focus group interview. Overall, participants seemed to value the Black Church as an integral part of their lives and as an influence on their perceptions of counseling and proclivity to seek counseling services.

China's cooperation in education and training with Kenya: A different model?

This is the first detailed study of the character and particularity of China's rapidly growing education and training cooperation with Kenya. Set against the 50-year history of Kenya's engagement with China, it pays special attention to the human resources targets of the Forum for China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) from 2000. It argues that the growing popularity of China as a destination for both short- and long-term training for Kenyans, and the increasing interest by Kenyans in learning Chinese, cannot be separated from the wider involvement of China in Kenya's infrastructure development, the growth of Chinese business and foreign direct investment, and Chinese migration to East Africa.
