Constructing academic identity in the changing Russian higher education context: preliminary perspectives

ABSTRACT

Currently, Russian academics are facing significant demands because of a new, urgent requirement to pursue their research in accordance with international standards. Until recently, these academics were used to working within a familiar community and communicating their research via the Russian language, but now, they are expected to move beyond that and function on a global level, which can challenge their academic identities. A qualitative study was carried out in a research-intensive Russian university. The aim was to explore academics’ experiences and perceptions of the dynamic changes in their academic work with a particular focus on the limitations and pressures they meet in their career path towards global research. The data were collected by means of reflective journals during a course on English for academic purposes. Thematic analysis was employed for data analysis. The results showed that global trends turned out to be unachievable for Russian academics due to the lack of specific knowledge, attributes and skills required to do research globally. This might be the first study from Russia contributing to the literature on academic identity construction. The article provides insights into the experiences and perceptions of Russian academics and offers a research agenda for further investigation to bridge identity shifts in academia. In terms of practical purposes, the results will be used as a source of preliminary data within a broader research project aimed at supporting Russian academics in their research in an international English-speaking academic context.     

论汤亭亭《女勇士》的文类之争

汤亭亭的《女勇士》已被奉为美国华裔文学的经典,但由于论者观点角度的不同,该书属于自传还是小说一直没有明确的论断。该书以自传出版,却与传统自传的写作方式相违背,有论者认为是对传记艺术的创新,也有论者将其跟华裔的身份政治联系起来,认为汤亭亭同意将小说作为自传出版是对美国主流文化的屈服。通过对上述两种观点加以分析探讨,指出无论属于自传或小说,该书的意义在于它有效地传递了华裔的声音,并为少数族裔如何在白人话语占主导权的社会里构建自己的话语树立了新的写作模式。

Eyes Wide Shut: Recent Educational Policy in the Light of Changing Notions of English Identity*

Although Curriculum 2000 includes some welcome changes, such as the inclusion of drama, it is essentially a missed opportunity. I argue that it fails to address the complexity of modern life. In many academic areas, including literature, issues of identity are central to fundamental debates. Such debates have been precipitated by increasing economic globalisation and the consequent increase in interdependence between people from diverse cultural heritages. Although this situation is not new, the social and technological changes of recent decades have altered the pace of such developments. In most cities school populations reflect such changes. In this paper I argue that there are substantial gaps in the curriculum which derive mainly from government policy being premised on crude and obsolete notions of English identity. Such notions lead to a confusion of the concepts of culture and citizenship as modes of belonging. In my view both of these factors severely constrain our ability to construct a critical curriculum which adequately addresses contemporary interests and dilemmas.     

改进的移动商务身份认证方案设计

本文对移动电子商务系统进行了探讨和分析,并针对移动通信的终端设备多以计算能力相对较弱,存储量小的智能卡为主的特点,基于椭圆曲线密码体制,提出了适用于移动电子商务的一种改进的TDAKA(双向认证与密钥协商)协议,同以往方案做了比较,并对该方案的安全性和计算复杂性进行了分析。该协议有以下特点:实现了网络和用户的双向认证;采用数字签名,用户对业务具有不可否认性;由于利用椭圆曲线公开密钥密码算法,使得在同样的安全水平下,可以减小密钥长度,加快计算速度,适应移动通信系统环境。

Not Quite Free? Irish Postcoloniality and the Career of Pat O'Callaghan

This paper explores the career of the Irish Olympian Pat O'Callaghan. He won successive hammer-throwing titles in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics as a representative of the independent Irish state. The paper argues that in these Olympics, O'Callaghan can be considered as representing a postcolonial state, in line with much scholarship on other aspects of Irish culture. However, the Irish later fell into a dispute with the International Amateur Athletics Federation and the International Olympic Committee, which were largely steered by the British in dealing with contentious issues over the Irish border, and the Irish were thus effectively banned from the 1936 games. The paper concludes with a discussion over the nature of postcolonial identities in sport, and the complexities around the issue in relation to the constant mediation over what national identities mean within the context of rule-making by international sporting bodies.     

水库淹没处理实施规划阶段农村移民身份认定问题探讨

随着我国经济改革的发展,部分农村人口暂时脱离了农村土地以进城务工、经商等方式赖以生存,但在农村仍保留有户口、原承包土地或房屋等等,情况较复杂。本文对在丹江口水库大坝加高工程建设征地实施过程中,这部分移民身份认定问题进行探讨,供其他水利水电工程建设征地移民搬迁实施时参考。
