‘Core Subjects’ Policy and Arts Education for the Rich

What happens to art education when the national school curriculum in Israel follows a ‘core subjects’ policy? Allocating only two hours for all five art subjects (visual arts, music, drama, dance and cinematic arts) that remain outside the core curriculum increases the social‐economic gap between children whose parents can fund their art education privately and children whose parents cannot afford this. This also has worrying consequences for art teachers (most of them women) deprived of job security.     

论梁启超的女子教育思想

梁启超是维新运动最重要的代表人物之一,他关注女子问题,尤其是女子教育问题。梁启超对封建社会＂男尊女卑＂思想进行了强烈批判,他从＂宜家＂、＂善种＂、＂兴国智民＂、＂求平等＂的角度论证了女子接受教育的重要作用;同时提倡要让女子接受新式的学校教育,并身体力行与一批有志之士倡导创设女学,为女子教育的践行进行了艰难的探索,为推动中国近代女子教育发展做出了突出的贡献,这些对于我们当今开展女子教育的实践仍具有重要启示。     

Non-performativity of university and subjectification of students: the question of equality and diversity in UK universities

Universities in the United Kingdom have experienced a transformation in the context of the government’s initiatives to widen participation and rapid socio-economic changes locally and globally. With more diverse students entering higher education, universities need to consider how they can create an inclusive environment. Indeed, in order to stress their openness and (international) excellence, many universities proclaim their ‘commitment’ to diversity and difference. However, as Sara Ahmed suggests, institutional speech acts, such as a claim to promote equality and diversity, do not go beyond pluralist understandings of diversity and are non-performative. Through the examination of policies and practices concerning issues of equality and diversity in English universities, this article, firstly, considers whether universities are successful in promoting equality amongst different (ethnic) groups. Then, through a case study of a university, it examines how students become raced, classed, gendered, or nationed subjects, while they struggle to form their own agency.     

消费者权利保护中的国家干预

在交易的过程中,消费者和经营者之间存在着实质上的不平等,作为弱者的消费者自身无力解决这一问题,只有国家而且也必须是国家才能担此重任。经济学、社会学理论的发展为消费者权利保护中的国家干预提供了理论上的支持,消费者问题的发生以及消费者运动的开展反映了消费者权利保护中国家干预的现实需求。国家对于消费者权利的保护可以通过两个路径来实现:一是扶助消费者;二是规制生产者与经营者。扶助消费者是消费者权利保护中国家干预的主导路径。     

赞比亚高等教育中的性别平等问题研究——以赞比亚大学为例

随着性别平等问题在教育领域受到越来越广泛的重视,赞比亚政府为此颁布了一系列旨在解决性别不平等问题的政策。高等教育机构在政府政策的推动下也纷纷采取了一系列措施鼓励女性入学,如开展新生确认行动,采用降分措施,改善女生在校硬件设施等。通过对赞比亚大学女生就学情况的分析可知,女性接受高等教育的情况得到了一定程度的改善,国家解决性别不平等问题的政策和高校相关措施得到了有效的贯彻和落实。但赞比亚高等教育中尚未实现性别平等,在某些学科领域性别不平等问题仍然较为严重。

Reshaping the Nordic education model in an era of efficiency. Changes in the comprehensive school project in Denmark,Norway, and Sweden since the millennium

The Nordic Education Model was an important part of the social democratic welfare state for many years in the second half of the 20th century. Since the millennium, transnational agencies have drawn education from the realm of politics into a global market place by advocating strategies such as efficiency, competition, decentralisation, governing by detailed objectives, control, privatisation, and profile schools. This article gives brief accounts of major trends in current school development policies, discourses, and practices in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden since the millennium, and explores how the values of the Nordic model are affected by the new policies. It is argued that the Nordic model still exists as the predominant system for the large majority of Scandinavian children at a national level, but that a number of new technologies aiming to increase the efficiency of teaching and learning are gradually undermining the main values of the Nordic model.     

论图书馆权利体系中的自由与平等及其统一

本文以自由与平等的冲突根源与内在联系为分析起点,认为作为制度正义的核心命题,二者间存在的内在张力和关联为图书馆权利体系的建构提供了参考。结合图书馆权利体系中自由与平等的具体内容,认为:图书馆作为一种正义的制度安排,在制度建构中必然会提出对自由和平等的主张和安排,这种制度正义性构成了图书馆权利体系中自由与平等统一的基石;图书馆需要通过积极的制度建构,以规范的形式确认自由和平等权利以及国家在实现图书馆自由平等权中的积极角色,使图书馆自由与平等权利从应有权利走向法定权利。     

《森太太》的生态女性主义解读

在短篇小说《森太太》中,作者裘帕·拉希莉描写了印度裔女主人公森太太移民美国后的特殊生活经历,体现出三方面的主题:即森太太与自然的紧密联系、森先生对森太太的压迫、主流社会对森太太的排斥,进而反映出作者的生态女性主义意识。文章从生态女性主义视角分析文本,旨在阐释小说在和谐人与自然的关系、解放女性、争取种族平等问题上的诉求。
