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.

先驱者的绝境与微笑--读《野草》二首兼与孙玉石先生商榷

执着于实有却又陷于虚无、坚持韧性反抗黑暗现实却又看不到未来出路和真正希望何在的先驱者们，在孤独地探寻求索真理的过程中，往往会陷入一种矛盾、犹豫，紧张、对立，彷徨、两难的精神困境和心理绝境。鲁迅以其独特的充满先驱者味的“微笑”姿态超越了这一绝境。《影的告别》中“我不如在黑暗里沉没”之“沉没”不等于“生命消失”或“失去我的生命存在”之义；《墓碣文》中“于浩歌狂热之际中寒”之“浩歌狂热”与“中寒”并无时间上的先后或逻辑上的因果关系。     

量化数字人文综述

数字人文对多样化研究内容、语言和学者的包容性,使其在近20年得到突飞猛进的壮大,并逐渐涉及人文学、社会学、计算机科学等多个领域。然而,包容的“大帐篷”不仅在一定程度上限制了对数字人文具体学科内容、科研范畴、学者群体和学科历史的理解,也使得学科成长和拓展缺少客观数据和理论的支持,从而无法健康且可持续地发展。文章回顾前人对数字人文所做的学科研究,重点集中在使用计量和统计等方法来揭示数字人文的知识结构、内容演变、合作模式和学者背景等工作上,以期帮助学界从量化的角度认识数字人文的形成、发展和前景。     

Deep Participation in Underserved Communities: A Quantitative Analysis of Hearken’s Model for Engagement Journalism

ABSTRACT

Hearken is a proprietary news engagement platform growing in popularity. Under the Hearken approach, audience members are invited to participate in the newsmaking process. Hearken strives to assist news organizations in providing local and hyperlocal content that meets audience needs and demands while preserving elements of the journalist’s role as gatekeeper. Hearken has also worked to help news organizations reach underrepresented populations with mixed results per its own anecdotal analyses. This study employs a quantitative content analysis comparing one year’s worth of coverage at four different local NPR affiliates in the United States to provide a breakdown of Hearken content versus traditional reporter-driven content in the following four categories: emphasis on hyperlocal coverage, story topic prevalence within local and hyperlocal coverage, emphasis on coverage of underrepresented communities, and story topic prevalence within coverage of underrepresented communities. Findings reveal listener-driven Hearken content favors hyperlocal news on lifestyle issues while reporter-driven stories emphasize state-level governance and politics as well as local crime. These indicate a stark contrast between the content audiences want and that which journalists tend to report. The nuanced normative implications, possibilities and limitations of Hearken’s model of “deep participation” are addressed in some detail.

环巢湖旅游地开发条件定量评价

通过实地调研和专家咨询,构建了湖泊型旅游地开发评价指标体系。根据湖泊型旅游地开发评价因子的特性,将其分为两种类型,一类是数值型因子,一类是模糊型因子,分别对其进行评价,进而提出一种具有兼容性的湖泊旅游地开发综合评价模型。运用此模型对环巢湖旅游地开发条件进行综合定量评价,得出环巢湖旅游地综合评价得分是7.626,总体上属国家级旅游地,并对定量评价结论进行了相关讨论。
