The one-in-ten: quantitative Critical Race Theory and the education of the ‘new (white) oppressed’

ABSTRACT

This paper challenges the notion that quantitative data – as a numeric truth – exist independent of a nation’s political and racial landscape. Utilising large-scale national attainment data, the analysis challenges the belief that ‘White working class’ children in England, especially boys, are ‘the new oppressed’ – as a former equality adviser has publicly claimed. The analysis applies Quantitative Critical Race Theory, or ‘QuantCrit’, an emerging quantitative sub-field of Critical Race Theory in education. The paper argues that far from being ‘oppressed’, White boys continue to enjoy achievement advantages over numerous minoritised groups; especially their peers of Black Caribbean ethnic origin. Additionally, the analysis uniquely exposes racialised trends of ‘equivalency’ in core subject qualifications, whereby minority ethnic children are over-represented in certain lower-status qualifications that are counted as equivalent in education statistics but not in the real world labour market. The analysis concludes that knowing misrepresentations of quantitative data are at the heart of an institutional process through which race and racism are produced, legitimised and perpetuated in education.     

Relational Maintenance in the Digital Age: Implicit Rules and Multiple Modalities

The present project utilized a mixed methods approach to examine how individuals use CMC to maintain proximal relationships. Nine different communication channels were examined concurrently to elucidate how frequently mediated relational maintenance is used and to examine what participants reported in terms of motives for use and avoidance of particular channels. Findings indicate that participants in proximal relationships are hyper-aware of the amount of intimacy implied by a particular communication channel and strategically engage channels to suit their needs. We propose that relationships will be difficult to maintain if people violate the implicit rules that appear to govern channel selection.

论校园音乐文化

在当前的校园音乐文化研究中,存在着将校园文化理论机械平移的现象,不仅抹杀了校园音乐文化的个性,而且脱离了校园音乐理论自身发展的实际。笔者认为,这种“近景式”分析缺乏对校园音乐文化发展趋势的总体把握。因此,对音乐文化建设进行积极的观瞻,显得至关重要。     

词的审美嬗变

词是从唐代的民间歌唱的歌词孕育发展而来, 开始大都是表现歌场舞榭的生活, 多用秦楼楚馆的俚俗之词。当它经过文人的逐渐改造, 审美情趣就发生了巨大的改变。一方面从形式到内容都受到诗的深刻影响, 它的审美趣味也因此发生了的重要的改变; 另一方面它力图彰显词的自身审美特性。总的说来词的审美嬗变表现在两个方面: 审美格调, 脱艳入清; 审美创作, 由比兴到寄托。     

翦伯赞和1949-1966年间的历史教学思潮

本着重梳理了翦伯赞在十七年史学中历史教学思潮形成过程中所具有的地位、理论成就以及在当时所具有的意义。从一个侧面揭示了在十七年史学中，翦伯赞积极顺应唯物史现传播的客观要求，促进了历史教学思潮的形成；反过来，由于以翦伯赞为代表的马克思主义史学家注重对历史教学的探讨，进而也加速了唯物史现的广泛传播和深入发展。
