新自由主义冲击下美国社区学院的组织变革

社区学院作为美国高等教育系统至关重要的组成部分,自诞生之时起便肩负着多重教育使命,被视为美国民主的标志。在新自由主义冲击下,社区学院面临着财政危机与生源危机,教学成果也备受质疑。为此,近些年来社区学院进行了一系列的组织变革,创造有条件的免费入学,吸引生源;推动“引导路径”项目,为学生学业提供全程全方位指导;加强与四年制高校的合作,提供“保证转学”项目;同时完善自身课程体系与课程内容。这些变革反映出社区学院始终以促进学生发展为根本目的,保障弱势群体向上流动的社会通道,秉持着作为高等教育机构的组织特性,自觉抵制着新自由主义带来的负面影响。

A Survey of Documentary Materials Available on U.S. Tribal Websites

This survey of official U.S. tribal websites examined sites for documentary materials of importance to each tribe that have been archived online, including such materials as historical essays, photos, videos, maps, newspapers, legal and historical documents, historical images, books, pamphlets, bibliographies, cultural and language materials. The materials found on those websites appear to be intended for the use of both tribal members and the general public. The result of the survey was to show that many of the same types of documentary materials held in tribal archives are also available on official websites, and to produce a current snapshot of the large array of tribal records which have been made openly available, although the length of time each document will be available on each site is unknown.

Results of an assessment to identify potential barriers to sustainable agriculture on American Indian reservations in the Western United States

Purpose: This paper reports the results of survey research conducted with tribal producers between 2011 and 2012 on 19 of the largest American Indian reservations in Idaho, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington. The purpose of the research was to identify potential barriers to sustainable agriculture on reservation lands. This article reports the results of this research in an effort to promote Extension professionals' understanding of these barriers, which may help to improve outreach programs on American Indian reservations. Understanding the obstacles to sustaining agriculture that American Indian tribes face may inform international agricultural outreach efforts to increase food security targeting indigenous and tribal peoples worldwide.

Design/Methodology/Approach: American Indian agricultural producers comprised the study group. Study objectives included: (1) identify agricultural and natural resource issues of greatest concern to a self-selected sample of tribal agricultural producers on reservation lands; (2) evaluate access to Extension and other US Department of Agriculture outreach and assistance programs; and (3) evaluate the quality of these programs in terms of their relativity to tribal needs.

Findings: Study results indicate that tribal agricultural producers surveyed ranked 29 of 39 agricultural and natural resource issues as a concern. Similarly, they rated access to and quality of outreach programs as fair. Further, tribal producers operating on reservation trust land rated issues more severely than did tribal producers operating on fee simple lands.

Practical Implications: Results of this research will help Extension and other outreach professionals to understand the barriers indigenous and tribal peoples face in sustaining agricultural operations, particularly tribal groups living on federally reserved trust lands, such as American Indians. An increased understanding can inform agricultural policy-makers and outreach professionals in improving programs designed to increase agricultural sustainability, improve food security, enhance economic well-being and improve quality of life of indigenous and tribal peoples worldwide.

Originality/Value: This research provides important information to agricultural policy-makers and Extension professionals striving to sustain agricultural productivity and enhance food security with indigenous and tribal peoples.

暗藏的线索——从地缘政治学角度试析富兰克林·D·罗斯福时期美国外交政策

“地缘政治学”起源于19世纪后期的西欧;19世纪末传入美国,至20世纪40年代起在美国的外交决策中逐步产生影响。在研究富兰克林·D·罗斯福时期美国外交政策的过程中,马汉、麦金德、斯皮克曼等著名地缘政治学家的相关学术理论,恰似一条“暗藏的线索”,帮助我们以新颖的视角,对固有的史实进行审慎的分析;从而认识到:20世纪三四十年代的罗斯福外交是将“威尔逊国际主义”与“地缘政治因素”揉和起来的结果。而“地缘政治学”在美国的传播与发展为其冲破传统上的善意孤立,打开了新的视野并起到了十分重要的“助推”作用。
