Curricular Joint Ventures: A New Chapter in US Cross-Border Education?
Authors: Eckel Peter D. , Green Madeleine F. , Affolter-Caine Britany
Published: November 2005

For universities in industrialized nations such as the United States, globalization poses relatively little threat and offers many benefits. This article identifies and describes one trend emerging from globalization — how American colleges and universities are leveraging their curricula internationally through joint ventures between universities or between universities and other partners such as corporations, or non-profit or non-governmental organizations, that result in new academic programs each partner alone does not offer. It discusses US institutions’ hunt for revenue, prestige and quality and the motivations for such international activity. It describes a range of international curricular joint ventures using different models and with varying motivations. However, for most US institutions, cross-border education is subservient to other campus priorities. Although one could guess that inter-institutional collaboration will be an important strategy to maximize resources and to gain access to the global market place, the jury is still out. It is also not clear if US institutions will become more outward looking both in their academic and entrepreneurial ventures.
Marx and the Education of the Future
Authors: Rikowski Glenn
Published: November 2005

With reference to Karl Marx's writings on education, this article outlines the education of the future as anti-capitalist education. In starting out from a conception of communism as the ‘real movement which abolishes the present state of things’ (Marx), it is argued that the anti-capitalist education of the future consists of three moments: critique, addressing human needs and realms of freedom. It is also argued that all three moments are essential for an anti-capitalist education of the future, but the emphasis on particular moments changes (a movement from moment one to three) as capitalist society and education are left behind through social transformation. In the light of this framework, Marx's views on the relation between labour and education, and his views on education run by the state, are critically examined. In the light of the preceding analysis, the article ends with a consideration of two trends that are gaining strength in contemporary education in England: the social production of labour-power and the business takeover of education. Political responses to these are briefly explored.
A Revised Marxist Political Economy of National Education Markets
Authors: Marginson Simon
Published: November 2005

This article synthesises the social and economic dynamics of both non-market and market production in national education systems, drawing primarily on Marx's analysis of the commodity and Hirsch on positional competition. Market production has six principal aspects: a defined field of production, protocols governing entry/exit, the production of scarce and individualised commodities, monetary exchange and price-based coordination, competition between consumers, and market subjectivities/behaviours. In national systems the dominant form of education continues to be a status competition led by elite institutions that in key respects do not behave like capitalist firms. Elite universities and schools do not expand to meet demand, but remain exclusive, maximising the value of the student places they provide. Their lodestone is not revenues, but social status and power. Revenues are means to the fulfilment of status objectives. Fully commercial education is mostly conducted in lower status institutions that are subject to the price cutting of quality in a ‘race to the bottom’. Nevertheless, fully commercial forms of education are gaining ground in national education systems, and still more at the global level in the cross-border education of foreign students and trade in intellectual property. The article examines the various kinds of educational commodity.
Public Pedagogy and the Politics of Neo-Liberalism: Making the Political More Pedagogical
Authors: Giroux Henry A.
Published: November 2005

Neo-liberalism has reached a new stage in the United States, buttressed largely by the almost seamless alliances formed among the Bush administration, religious fundamentalists, neo-conservative extremists, the dominant media, and corporate elites. This article explores the various ways in which neo-liberal cultural politics works as a form of public pedagogy to devalue the meaning of the social contract, education, and citizenship by defining higher education primarily as a financial investment and learning as a form of training for the workforce. Aggressively fostering its attack on the welfare state, unions, non-commodified public spheres, and any critical vestige of critical education, neo-liberal politics makes it increasingly more difficult to address the necessity of a political education in which active and critical political agents have to be formed, educated, and socialized into the world of politics. This article explores how the intersection of cultural studies and public pedagogy offers a challenge to both the ideology and practice of neo-liberalism as a form of cultural politics. In doing, so it outlines how the pedagogical can become more political in the classroom and how the political can become more pedagogical outside of the classroom via the educational force of the wider culture.
‘Rule Britannia’ and the New American Empire: A Marxist Analysis of the Teaching of Imperialism, Actual and Potential, in the British School Curriculum
Authors: Cole Mike
Published: November 2005

The author begins by arguing that in order to understand imperialism it is necessary to have a conceptual awareness of the concepts of racism and racialisation. He then considers how the British Empire impacted on schools during the imperial era. He goes on to examine the nature of the New Imperialism. Calls are currently being made by notable ‘establishment figures’ for the renewed teaching in schools of the history of Britain's imperial past. He concludes that Marxists should endorse these calls and should argue for the teaching of imperialism to be extended to include an analysis of the New Imperialism.
Supporting Interprofessional Collaboration in Scotland through a Common Standards Framework
Authors: Christie Donald , Menmuir Joan
Published: November 2005

The context of this article is the emergence of a new orthodoxy of interprofessional collaboration and multidisciplinary practice in the caring professions. Several current policy initiatives in Scotland, especially in relation to services for children, illustrate this trend, which is evident on an international scale. The article considers the nature of the challenge to models of professionalism represented by interprofessional collaboration. The contentious issue of whether it is appropriate to attempt to define standards of professionalism is examined. In particular, arguments for and against the articulation of a common framework of professional standards are analysed. The model of professionalism adopted in The Standard for Initial Teacher Education in Scotland is explained and the shared features in the equivalent standards in the fields of nursing, other allied health professions and social work are outlined. The potential value of a common standards framework is analysed in terms of how such a framework might help to overcome barriers to interprofessional collaboration. It is argued that defining professional standards need not diminish or demean professionalism. On the contrary, it is possible to create a common standards framework which can serve to enhance professionalism by enabling professional practitioners to ‘re-story’ themselves and at the same time engage effectively in dialogue with colleagues in other professions with whom they are expected to collaborate. The potential implications of a common standards framework for patterns of professional education and training are discussed.
Transmodernism, Marxism and Social Change: Some Implications for Teacher Education
Authors: Cole Mike
Published: November 2005

The author first briefly outlines what he considers to be the defining features of transmodernism and its relationship both to postmodernism and to Marxism. He then suggests that transmodern interpretations of the legacy of the European invasions of the Americas are illuminating, as is Marxism, in providing an understanding of how the imperialism in which contemporary US foreign policy is currently engaged has a specific and long-standing genealogy. However, he argues that the Marxist concept of racialisation is more convincing in explaining the source of violence against the Other than the transmodern positing of ‘basic narcissism’ as the source. Next, he contrasts the transmodern perception of liberal democracy with Marxist analyses of democratic socialism. After this, he challenges transmodernism's conception of Marxism as an imposed and utopian philosophy locked within modernism. He concludes with a consideration of the political and economic choices open to us, and, with respect to these choices, the implications of both transmodernism and Marxism for sustaining resistance to neo-liberal capitalism and US imperialism within teacher education.
The Significance of Charter Schools and the Privatization of Standards: Holding the Wolf by the Ears
Authors: Ford Brian
Published: November 2005

The dynamics of educational policy discourse in the USA are illustrated by the highly contested positions on charter schools in three arenas: media debates, national policy and local school reform. In media debates, civil society actors – including teachers’ unions, think tanks and print media – engage in polarized exchanges notable for their name-calling and vitriol. In national policy, after two decades of much consensus where charters were viewed as a way of raising standards, policy formation is presently shaped by deep splits on funding and privatization initiatives; charters are increasingly short on the former and seen as potential vehicles for the latter. This manifests itself on the level of local reform, where charters are a component part of numerous school reforms, including a systematic overhaul of the nation's largest school district. There, a corporate model that emphasizes the chief executive officer's role in selecting among productive and unproductive employees has been deployed. The title image (wolf, ears) responds to some of the discourse and is taken from Thomas Jefferson's explanation of the dilemma slavery posed for the USA. As the privatization of standards seems to advance incrementally, the article suggests that a similar dilemma now confronts advocates for public education, especially teachers’ unions, who have previously supported standards-based reform and the use of charters for the purpose of educational innovation.
Neo-Liberalism, Markets and Accountability: Transforming Education and Undermining Democracy in the United States and England
Authors: Hursh David
Published: November 2005

Education in both England and the United States has undergone a profound change over the last two decades as part of neo-liberal and neoconservative political reforms. The reforms have been characterized by efforts to standardize the curriculum, to implement standardized tests in order to hold students, teachers, and schools accountable, to increase school choice, and to privatize education provision. While the reforms in both countries have similarities, differences in the structures of schooling and in the relative political strength of neoconservatives and neo-liberals help to account for policy divergence.
The Future of Schools from a European Union Perspective: Selecting, Analyzing and Disseminating the Most Innovative Approaches towards the School of Tomorrow
Authors: Hansson Henrik , Hall Scott
Published: November 2005

What can we learn from European Union (EU) school projects about future learning approaches? The EU has invested massively in information and communication technologies (ICT) projects promoting innovative use of new technologies in school settings. The aim of the project ‘School Foresight’, with partners in Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Romania, the Czech Republic and Sweden, was to select and reflect on the best projects done so far. These projects were popularized and presented at the European Science Week in the autumn of 2004 and reached more than 10,000 students in five countries. This article describes and discusses the School Foresight project and the selection process of innovative EU projects showing the way towards the school of tomorrow. A number of best cases will be presented and discussed in a European, American and global context. The school of the future is both a question of what is possible and what is desired. Different scenarios might be preferable depending on local context, history, language, etc., or, are we all moving into the ‘global classroom’?
On the Possibility of Cultivating Justice through Teaching and Learning: An Argument for Civic Reconciliation in South Africa
Authors: Waghid Yusef
Published: November 2005

In this article the author explores possibilities for cultivating justice with reference to teaching and learning in (South African) universities. It is argued that teachers and learners ought to become responsive, democratic and critical – they need to act justly in order to break with South Africa's apartheid legacy. The author discusses why readiness, deliberation and responsibility – acts of justice – ought to unfold in South African university classrooms and, more importantly, how each characteristic can potentially engender responsiveness, democracy and criticism respectively. Finally, some of the implications of justice through teaching and learning for civic reconciliation in South Africa are explored. The author shows how a responsive (compassionate), democratic (deliberative) and critical (restive) disposition on the part of individuals can offer hope for enhancing civic reconciliation after decades of apartheid rule.
Cultural Studies, Indigenous Knowledge and Pedagogies of Hope
Authors: Stewart-Harawira Makere
Published: November 2005

Notions of crisis and chaos have become the rationale for a new discourse in which empire is the logical outcome of a world no longer secure. One level at which this is manifested is in the rejection by the USA of international agreements to which it is signatory, in the demonstrated failure of the Bretton Woods system to meet its declared objectives, and in the increasingly broad and globalized resistance to globalization. Another is in the attacks on particular forms of knowledge and academic freedom by strong neoconservative elements which seek the reconstruction of societies within a particular cultural and ideological framework. In this context, the construction of pedagogies which articulate a different vision for global order has become a contested and critical task. This article argues two things: first, that the study of culture and ethnicity is vitally important in developing pedagogies for better ways of being in the world, and second, that indigenous cultural knowledge is profoundly relevant to this endeavour.
Sports Education Facing Globalizing Capitalism
Authors: Gur-Ze'Ev Ilan
Published: November 2005

From its very beginning sports activity became – already within the framework of the modern nation-building project, establishing national ethos, and constituting effective colonization of the Other – a central element of the effort of the modern system to create, represent, and consume the modern body and soul and to create the healthy-conquering national ‘we’. And yet, when true to its essence, sport represents the impetus of Love of Life. As Love of Life it raises the human from lower levels of existence to their supreme goal within the forms of constant self-elevation. Sport as a global commodity is manufactured and consumed locally, serving and representing both ethnocentrism and false universalism in the form of globalization. It is of vital importance for sport's success as a worldwide commodity to function in the service of local passions and as a manifestation of the negation of the otherness of the Other. Without local rivalries, hate, and chauvinism, the worldwide reception and production of sport would not have been so successful.
Certainties and Censure: Teacher Education in a Changing Terrain
Authors: Mansfield Janet
Published: November 2005

Economic and cultural globalisation has resulted in particular political ideologies in policy and practice that have created a certain essentialism – a tightened modernist ‘will to certainty’ – which is reinscribed in curricular practices in New Zealand teacher education. At a time when the naming and framing of educational practice in terms of the ‘knowledge society’, the ‘learning society’ and the effects of such discourses on experience needs to be revealed in teacher education – when the relations between political ideologies and their inscription in policy and practice need to be exposed – critical approaches that might threaten global knowledge truth claims exposing the non-neutrality of educational processes have been diminished. A limited selection of ‘worthwhile’ knowledge, which has its genesis in classroom instruction, is involved in censure and a politics of censure opened here for analysis, and thus preconditions practice in the changing educational terrain of the teaching subject. What is questioned here is the related essentialism of the dominant discourses of teacher education (pedagogy, assessment and evaluation, psychology and learning theory), based as these discourses are on the human subject. Drawing distinctions between ‘education’ and ‘pedagogy’, it is suggested that a continuing ‘education’ in the broadest sense of the word rather than mere ‘pedagogy’ is necessary for teachers to be named ‘educated’ professionals.
InAs/InP Self‐Assembled Quantum Dots: Wavelength Tuning and Optical Nonlinearities
Authors: Nötzel R. , Haverkort J. E. M.
Published: November 2005

Quantum dots (QDs, i.e., semiconductor nanocrystals) can be formed by spontaneous self‐assembly during epitaxial growth of lattice‐mismatched semiconductor systems. InAs QDs embedded in GaInAsP on InP are introduced, which can be continuously wavelength‐tuned over the 1.55 μm region by inserting ultrathin GaAs or GaP interlayers below them. We subsequently introduce a state‐filling optical nonlinearity, which only requires two electron–hole pairs per QD. We employ this nonlinearity for all‐optical switching using a Mach–Zehnder interferometric switch. We find a switching energy as low as 6 fJ.
Tensile and elastic behavior of tencel continuous filaments
Authors: Abdullah Iram , Blackburn Richard S. , Russell Stephen J. , Taylor Jim
Published: November 2005

Tencel is a regenerated cellulose fiber produced using an environmentally‐responsible dry‐jet wet‐spinning process, which contributes to its excellent mechanical properties. In this study, the tensile properties of Tencel continuous filaments are characterized and the effect of twist on mechanical properties, including breaking load and extension, are considered. Peak strength was obtained in Tencel filaments of 140 t m−1. The elastic behavior of Tencel monofilament was observed by assessing the recovery from strain‐induced energy and the elastic recovery was found to be low. Along with time dependency, Tencel has the ability to stabilize its deformed state by forming new crosslinks, and this influences the elastic behavior. In simple extension cycles, the same low elasticity was observed. Cumulative extension cycles were also performed to characterize the behavior of filaments subjected to repeated strain and to determine the resultant hysteresis effects. Permanent elongation was observed at 2% imposed strain, which suggests that the filament has low extensibility. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1496–1503, 2006
Characterization of epoxidized natural rubber/ethylene vinyl acetate (ENR‐50/EVA) blend: Effect of blend ratio
Authors: Mohamad Zurina , Ismail H. , Thevy R. Chantara
Published: November 2005

Epoxidized natural rubber/Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (ENR‐50/EVA) blends with different ratios were prepared by using a Haake internal mixer. The effect of the blend ratio on the processing, tensile properties (such as tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus and stress–strain behavior), morphology, dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal properties has been investigated. The tensile properties increase with the increase of EVA content, whereas the stabilization torque increases with the increase of ENR‐50 content in the blend. In 40:60 and 50:50 blend of ENR‐50/EVA, both the phases exist as continuous phases, producing a co‐continuous morphology. At these blend ratio, the drastic change in properties were noted, indicating that the phase inversion occurs. The results on dynamic mechanical properties revealed that the blends are compatible. Blending of ENR‐50 and EVA lead to the improvement in thermal stability and 50:50 blend ratios is the most stable blend. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1504–1515, 2006
Studies on poly(8‐hydroxy‐4‐azoquinolinephenylmethacrylate) and its metal complexes
Authors: Vijayalakshmi S. , Subramanian S. , Rajagopan S. , Kaliyappan T.
Published: November 2005

8‐Hydroxy‐4‐azoquinolinephenylmethacrylate (8H4AQPMA) was prepared and polymerized in ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) at 65°C using benzoyl peroxide as free radical initiator. Poly(8‐hydroxy‐4‐azoquinolinephenylmethacrylate) poly(8H4AQPMA) was characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The molecular weight of the polymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography. Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of poly(8H4AQPMA) were prepared. Elemental analysis of polychelates suggests that the metal‐ligand ratio is about 1 : 2. The polychelates were further characterized by infrared spectra, X‐ray diffraction, spectral studies, and magnetic moments. Thermal analyses of the polymer and polychelates were carried out in air. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1516–1522, 2006
Optical analysis of liquid mixing in a minibioreactor
Authors: Vallejos Jose R. , Kostov Yordan , Ram Arun , French Joseph A. , Marten Mark R. , Rao Govind
Published: November 2005

A novel optical sensor was used to study mixing and mean circulation time in a model minibioreactor (12.5 mL stirred vessel, equipped with a paddle impeller). Rotational rates in the range of 10–1,000 rpm corresponding to Reynolds number between 14 and 1,350 were studied. Results suggest that depending on the impeller rotational speed, mixing times up to 214 ± 87 s can be reproducibly achieved. The minibioreactor was operated in the transitional regime, and it was determined that the non‐dimensional form for mixing time, NΘM was linearly dependent on Reynolds number. A linear correlation between mean circulation time and the inverse of rotational speed was also determined. The mean circulation time dependence on rotational speed in the 12.5 mL stirred vessel is similar to those found in large‐scale stirred vessels. These results suggest that mixing and circulation times found in large‐scale reactors can be replicated in minibioreactors. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The Dipeptide H‐Trp‐Glu‐OH Shows Highly Antagonistic Activity against PPARγ: Bioassay with Molecular Modeling Simulation
Authors: Ye Fei , Zhang Zhen‐Shan , Luo Hai‐Bin , Shen Jian‐Hua , Chen Kai‐Xian , Shen Xu , Jiang Hua‐Liang
Published: November 2005

The peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is an important therapeutic drug target for several conditions, including diabetes, inflammation, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cancer. It is shown that an antagonist or partial agonist of PPARγ has attractive potential applications in the discovery of novel antidiabetic agents that may retain efficacious insulin‐sensitizing properties and minimize potential side effects. In this work, the dipeptide H‐Trp‐Glu‐OH (G3335) was discovered to be a novel PPARγ antagonist. Biacore 3000 results based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique showed that G3335 exhibits a highly specific binding affinity against PPARγ (KD=8.34 μM) and is able to block rosiglitazone, a potent PPARγ agonist, in the stimulation of the interaction between the PPARγ ligand‐binding domain (LBD) and RXRα‐LBD. Yeast two‐hybrid assays demonstrated that G3335 exhibits strong antagonistic activity (IC50=8.67 μM) in perturbing rosiglitazone in the promotion of the PPARγ‐LBD–CBP interaction. Moreover, in transactivation assays, G3335 was further confirmed as an antagonist of PPARγ in that G3335 could competitively bind to PPARγ against 0.1 μM rosiglitazone to repress reporter‐gene expression with an IC50 value of 31.9 μM. In addition, homology modeling and molecular‐docking analyses were performed to investigate the binding mode of PPARγ‐LBD with G3335 at the atomic level. The results suggested that residues Cys285, Arg288, Ser289, and His449 in PPARγ play vital roles in PPARγ‐LBD–G3335 binding. The significance of Cys285 for PPARγ‐LBD–G3335 interaction was further demonstrated by PPARγ point mutation (PPARγ‐LBD‐Cys285Ala). It is hoped our current work will provide a powerful approach for the discovery of PPARγ antagonists, and that G3335 might be developed as a possible lead compound in diabetes research.
The 2‐Aminogluconate Isomer of Rhizobium sin‐1 Lipid A Can Antagonize TNF‐α Production Induced by Enteric LPS
Authors: Lee Hyi‐Seung , Wolfert Margreet A. , Zhang Yanghui , Boons Geert‐Jan
Published: November 2005

The naturally occurring lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Rhizobium sin‐1, a nitrogen‐fixing bacterial species, can prevent the induction of the tumor necrosis factor TNF‐α induced by enteric LPS. The proximal saccharide moiety of R. sin‐1 lipid A can exist in two forms, namely as a 2‐aminogluconolactone or 2‐aminogluconate. As it is unknown which of these forms is responsible for the antagonistic properties of R. sin‐1 lipid A, compound 4 was prepared, and its inflammatory properties were studied. This compound contains a methyl ether at the C‐5 hydroxyl, which prevents lactonization and therefore is ideally suited to determine whether the 2‐aminogluconate possesses antagonistic properties. Compound 4 was synthesized by a highly convergent approach with a key disaccharide building block functionalized with a set of orthogonal protecting groups. The novel synthetic compound lacks proinflammatory properties, as indicated by an absence of TNF‐α protein production. This compound was, however, able to antagonize the production of TNF‐α induced by enteric LPS; this indicates that the 2‐aminogluconate form of R. sin‐1 lipid A is responsible for its biological properties.
Cover Picture: Sequence‐Specific DNA Recognition by Monomeric bZIP Basic Regions Equipped with a Tripyrrole Unit on the N‐Terminal Side. Towards the Development of Synthetic Mimics of Skn‐1 (ChemBioChem 12/2005)
Authors: Blanco Juan B. , Vázquez M. Eugenio , Castedo Luis , Mascareñas José L.
Published: November 2005

The cover picture shows a representation of a new DNA‐recognition strategy based on clamping dsDNA by the simultaneous interaction of a tripyrrole and the basic region of transcription factor GCN4 with two contiguous DNA sites. The peptide unit by itself is incapable of tight specific DNA binding; however, conjugation with a tripyrrole derivative capable of binding to AT‐rich sites allows the specific delivery of the hybrid to composite DNA sites of 8–9 base pairs containing the consensus target sequences of each module. For more details, see the communication by J. L. Mascareñas et al. on p. 2173 ff.
