title: On narratives of self-formation and education

authors: Peters, Michael A.

subjects: Humboldt

abstract: In this paper I begin with Schleiermacher review and analyze the origins of the Humboldtian model of the modern German university as an influential kind of institution that was adopted in many parts of Europe, the US and beyond. The novel of education and of ethical self-formation came to provide a novelistic depicted of the essential human becoming of the hero protagonist and engendered a new genre that spread throughout the world. The paper asks the question where and what might be the novel of the neoliberal university in an age when the humanistic requirement has fallen away and students have become “customers” purchasing an educational service. Is there a novel of the neoliberal university that does not end- lessly replicate the logic of the marketplace but actually intervenes in material reality to “save” the institution? JEL codes: H52; H75; I21; I23 Keywords: Humboldt; Schleiermacher; Fichte; German University; Bildungsroman; Erziehungsroman; Morgenstern; Bakhtin; novel of education; self-formation, educational self-transformation

title: Patterns of population genetic structure for springtails and mites in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica

authors: McGaughran, Angela

subjects: glacial refugia

abstract: We sequenced the mitochondrial (mt) DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene to examine comparative phylogeographic patterns for the springtail Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni and the mite Stereotydeus mollis throughout their ranges in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Our aim was to extend previous genetic work to encompass a large ice-free area in the Dry Valleys. In particular, we sought to determine if this new region harboured high levels of genetic diversity and if patterns of genetic structure were congruent across taxa. Phylogenetic and nested clade analyses for G. hodgsoni and S. mollis showed similar patterns of population sub-structuring among locations and highlighted several potential refugia that may have existed during glacial maxima. We identified greater levels of genetic divergence in S. mollis and suggest that there is a nucleotide substitution (mutation) rate difference between S. mollis and G. hodgsoni, and/or that S. mollis has had a longer association with the Antarctic landscape.

title: Whakahokia te reo ki tōna taioretanga: He rautaki reo mō Waikato-Tainui

authors: Roa, Raukura

subjects: Whakaora reo

abstract: Ko te kaupapa o tēnei pepa, ko te whakatakoto i tētehi mahere rautaki hei whakakaha, hei whakapakari i te reo Māori o te iwi o Waikato-Tainui. Ehara tēnei i te pepa wetewete i te rautaki whakaora reo, ehara hoki i te pepa tātari i ngā rautaki whakaora reo o te ao. Engari ia, he pepa whakatakoto i ōku whakaaro mō tētehi huarahi e ora ai te reo o Waikato-Tainui. Kei te rārangi whakapuakanga ētehi rauemi i toro atu ai au, heoi, kāore i āta tātarihia mō tēnei pepa. Nō reira, e rima ngā wāhanga o tēnei pepa. Ko te wāhanga tuatahi, he whakakaupapa i tēnei rautaki. Ko te wāhanga tuarua, he whakamārama i ngā whakahaeretanga o te iwi. Ko te wāhanga tuatoru, he whakatakoto i ngā whāinga o te rautaki. Ko te wāhanga tuawhā, he whakatakoto i te mahere e tutuki ai ngā whāinga o te rautaki. Ka mutu he whakatakoto whakaaro atu anō kāore i whakauru ki roto i te rautaki.
