‘It didn’t come up on my radar’: an examination of students’ orientation toward disability justice in the US

Abstract

While social justice is a well-recognized concept, it is less frequently examined through the lens of disability. In order to address existing gaps within social justice education, this qualitative case study investigates how participation in a semester-long Introduction to Disability Studies (IDS) course affected students’ orientation toward disability justice, or the conception of disability as an issue of social justice. The framework underpinning this research merges Cipolle’s theory of critical consciousness development with disability-based constructs. Findings reveal that participation in IDS allowed participants to develop an awareness of their ability privilege, understand the experiences of peers with disabilities, increase their social awareness of disability, and consider their work as disability allies. This article concludes with recommendations for social justice educators who are interested in applying disability justice practices.     

One week in October: Luis Suárez,John Terry and the turn to racial neoliberalism in English men’s professional football

This article explores two significant incidents of racism – involving Luis Suárez and John Terry – from the 2011–2012 English Premier League football season. In particular, it analyses and contextualises the reactions and responses articulated by key stakeholders within the football industry. Discursive themes were employed by these individuals as a means of trying to mitigate and/or exonerate the actions of Suárez and Terry, to question the veracity of the allegations made against them, and to downplay the extent and effects of racism in English football more generally. The article situates these standpoints within the wider cultural politics of race in the game and extricates the connections between discourse and structure in manifestations of racism. It demonstrates that these dominant responses are indicative of colour-blind ideology, white racial framing and the rules of racial standing. It also argues that these sporting trends are part of a wider societal shift towards racial neoliberalism.     

刍议企业管理者战略思维的养成

意识的强化与中日比较文学研究的再发展

中日文学比较研究首先必须强化理论意识 ,突破实证研究的终点 ,把一种“事实”的证明上升为“意义”的阐释 ,“事实———异同———原因———模式”研究思路才是文学关系研究的完整过程。其次 ,在意义研究中必须强化批判意识 ,确立文化的现代化价值取向。中国在东方文化价值论面前必须保持足够的清醒 :当年“东亚一系”、“同文同种”的文化逻辑最终走向了“大东亚共存共荣“的政治逻辑。第三 ,比较文学的思想本质是对民族主义的超越 ,应强化人类意识 ,以促进文学与思想的世界视野的形成     

提高学生生物科学素养的思考

科学素养是一个现代人基本素养的一部分，也是科学教育的重要目标。作为科学素养的一部分，生物科学素养必然成为生物学教学的基本目标。本文从生物学教学的角度深入地思考了提高学生生物科学素养的六种方式。倡导探究教学；贯穿生命科学史的教学；改革生物实验教学；教学中渗透STS教育；提倡生物与其他学科的交叉与渗透；切实开展研究性学习。     

我所理解的科学思想史

科学思想史是一个特殊的知识领域。它是“史”,是史学的一部分,属人文学科;它是自然科学史,又属理科。它研究的是理科的内容,用的是史学方法,又需要哲学的思维方式。科学活动史是科学思想史的基础,科学思想史是科学活动史的提炼。科学思想史研究是科学思想发展的历史结构与逻辑结构的统一、历史再现与理论建构的统一。     

先秦诸子论礼与法(下)

法家以重“法”而称于世。梁启超说:“其发生甚早或竟在儒家前”,其确立则在儒墨道之后[1]（p78）。春秋至于战国,其代表人物多直接参与政治,为相于各诸侯国,如管仲、子产、李悝、吴起、申不害、商鞅等。而立言者则有慎到、韩非,又“《管     

诗·言·思——试论中国古代哲学言语与思维的诗化

中国古代哲人虽然认为语言有很大局限性,却非常重视意象化的言语方式.他们以比喻、对反、反复为主要方式,打破名言、概念的片面规定性,把语言的混整性、不确定性都突现出来,使得在古代早期哲学著作中,诗、语言与思,哲学、文学与审美之间的界限消解了.而语言的诗化,不仅在于语言学上的修辞方式,而且根植于中国古代天人合一、阴阳对反、循环往复的共时态思维和空间化的“诗性时间”之中.空间化时间具有一个非线性发展的同时性结构,蕴含着一种诗性本源.     

论化学实验过程中的理论思维

化学实验不是一种纯粹的感性认识过程,它是在理论思维的指导下对化学的自然本质进行“解剖”的过程,是理论思维的物化。     

实践的观点与"本体论"问题

马克思哲学本体论就其性质而言是"物质本体论"而非"实践本体论";实践观点的本体论意义在于它为解决本体论问题提供了一种新的思维方式--实践论的哲学思维方式;这种意义无论在理论和逻辑上都具有优先性.学界关于实践观点之本体论意义的几种不同说法,如"类推说"、"统摄说"、"论证说"等,是笔者不能赞同的.
