Navigating the gendered academy: women in social work academia

ABSTRACT

Women fare less well than men across all academic disciplines: they are less likely to be promoted, they earn less, and many more professors are men. There has, however, been little analysis to date of the experience of women in social work education, a discipline that has historically had higher representation of female staff and students. This study set out to explore women in the social work academy through a case-study of social work education in Scotland. A mixed-methods approach was used, including a review of relevant literature; an online survey of women and men academics in social work education; and semi-structured interviews with female social work leaders, past and present. The study found that women in the social work academy faced the same pressures as other women in higher education; some of these pressures were also shared by men. Most significant, however, was the extent to which women in social work academia experienced twin challenges, firstly, as female academics and secondly, as female social work academics in a discipline that struggles for recognition in the academy. We conclude that this makes for a contradictory and, at times, ambiguous experience for women as they navigate the gendered academy.

协同创新视角下的学会建设

学会的基本属性和活动方式与协同创新要求相契合,使其能够在推动协同创新、实施科技创新驱动发展战略中发挥重要作用。协同创新是一个复杂的系统工程,学会在政府、科学家、企业、金融资本等创新活动主体间扮演沟通联系人、协调者、润滑剂的角色,构建跨学科、跨大类学科甚至跨文理界限的学会联盟是协同创新活动发展的必然。为提升学会学术研究、协同创新能力,政府部门、企业、高等院校、科研部门、私人基金会等应支持学会建设向着有利于协同创新的方向发展,学会应进一步推动实体化建设,面向市场,服务社会。

W(h)ither the academy? An exploration of the role of university social work in shaping the future of social work in Europe

A controversial proposal to pilot the training of child protection social workers through an intensive work-based route in England is being supported and funded by the UK Government. Frontline, the brainchild of a former teacher, locates social work training within local authorities (‘the agency’) rather than university social work departments (‘the academy’) and has stimulated debate amongst social work academics about their role in shaping the direction of the profession. As a contribution to this debate, this paper explores the duality of social work education, which derives its knowledge from both the academic social sciences and the experience of practice within social work agencies. While social work education has traditionally been delivered by the academy, this paper also explores whether the delivery of training in the allied professions of probation and nursing by ‘the agency’ is equally effective. Finally, this paper explores the Helsinki model which achieves a synergy of ‘academy’ and ‘agency’. It suggests that there are alternative models of social work education, practice and research which avoid dichotomies between the ‘academy’ and the ‘agency’ and enable the profession to be shaped by both social work academics and practitioners.     

书院的藏书、刻书活动与地方文化事业的发展

书院的藏书、刻书活动是地方文化事业的组成部分,书院藏书、刻书事业的发展,增加了该地区文化的总量,表征着地方文化的发展.书院藏书活动有别于其他类型的藏书活动,不仅服务于书院师生,还面向当地不同阶层的民众.书院刻书在满足自身教学、研究之需外,还刊刻地方文献,致力于地方文化的保存与发展.     

中国现代学术话语的历史过程及其当下建构

中国话语从根本上是指中国所特有的术语、概念、范畴和言说体系。从鸦片战争开始到五四运动,中国的学术话语大略经历了从科学技术话语到社会科学话语再到人文科学话语的逐渐建构过程。中国现代学术话语大致可以划分为从五四新文化运动到新中国成立、从新中国成立到改革开放、改革开放以来三个阶段。中国当代学术话语最大的问题是过于西化,在术语、概念和范畴上还比较单薄,对很多中国文化问题和现象缺乏有效的言说。建构中国当代学术话语体系,需要学习西方话语和继承传统话语,但更重要的还是创新,即根据中国社会文化发展的现实,总结、归纳和创造出我们自己的术语、概念和范畴,同时建立我们自己的价值标准。     

北京清代书院经费支出考察

在今天的北京行政区划内,清代建立了18所书院,主要有金台书院、潞河书院、云峰书院、燕平书院、缙山书院和卓秀书院等,其中的金台书院在全国很有影响。北京清代时期的书院经费支出大致包括基本建设经费和日常经费两大类。基本建设经费主要用于书院的土地与教学器具的购置和房舍的建造、租用、修缮以及书籍的购买、图书的刻印等方面;日常支出经费主要用于发放书院教师、行政人员的薪金、工食钱、劳务费和生徒的膏火银以及办公经费等等。另外,还有一些杂项支出,如祭祀费、纸张费、茶水费等,但这部分支出占书院经费支出的比重较小。从北京清代书院经费使用中,我们可以看出清代尊师重教的社会风气和各级官员对书院教育的重视。     

历代潮州的祀韩书院——以碑刻资料为中心

古代书院教学与祠庙祭祀密不可分。自南宋以来,韩愈被视为开启潮州教育的榜样及儒学正统之集大成者,成为潮州书院最重要的祭祀对象。淳祐三年(1243),潮州量早的一所书院韩山书院就是在城南郊外的韩祠(庙)的遗址上建立起来的。随后,祀韩文化随潮州政区的分拆、发展而逐步向各个属县扩散。     

刍议研究生学术人格的偏位与养成——从研究生的新生知识分子身份说开去

高等教育是从事知识生产与再生产的机构。研究生处于国家人才培养体系的较高层次，历史赋予他们进行创造性研究活动的使命。然而，作为知识分子，研究生对前人和他人学术成果过度依赖，在选题、行文上过度借鉴，甚至过多引用，这些现象虽然性质不好，可以归结为研究生学术人格养成的偏位，而不能断然以“学术腐败”定论，如及时加以矫正，研究生良好学术人格的养成依然是可能的。
