‘I FELT DEAD’: applying a racial microaggressions framework to Black students’ experiences of Black History Month and Black History*

This paper uses a Critical Race Theory perspective to explain the everyday racisms – racial microaggressions – directed towards students of African and Caribbean descent during a non-statutory Black History unit, at an English secondary school. Applying a racial microaggressions framework to ethnographic data, this paper finds that experiences of studying Black History by students of African and Caribbean descent are dominated by various types of racial microaggressions including: micro-invalidation, micro-insults and micro-assaults. These experiences are symptomatic of wider racist structures and processes within the National Curriculum for History, based upon the ideology of white supremacy. This paper concludes that the racial microaggressions framework allows for useful ways of thinking about the function and purpose of Black History Month and Black History in schools, and its opportunities for exposing wider institutional and ideological underpinnings that legitimate deficit understandings about black people in school classrooms.     

‘Refugees welcome?’ The interplay between perceived threats and general concerns on the acceptance of refugees – a factorial survey approach in Germany

The on-going migration of refugees to Europe has fuelled debates about the indigence of refugees and the perceived legitimacy of individual claims for asylum in different receptive countries. With a substantial body of research that has investigated the antecedents of attitudes towards immigrants, evidence on whether those underlying assumptions hold true for refugees as well remains scarce. The paper applies the framework of Intergroup Threat Theory to arrive at competing hypotheses with regard to the acceptance levels of refugees. We use pooled data from two probabilistic samples drawn in the German city of Dresden and apply a confounded factorial survey design to extend previous research on attitudes towards refugees. We find that natives perceive political persecution and war as justified reasons for seeking asylum in Germany, while socio-demographic characteristics of respondents and refugees are of minor importance. Foremost, the individual level of respondent’s fear of crime represents a crucial moderator of the perception of refugees as threatening.     

A DECISION THEORY EXAMPLE IN FOOTBALL

In the 1967 Harvard-Cornell football game, Harvard was ahead 14–0 late in the game when Cornell scored two touchdowns. On both occasions, Cornell tried and failed on the two-point conversion attempt and lost the game 14–12. Postgame arguments were divided on the merits of Cornell's strategy. For this frequently occurring scenario in college football, we derive a maximum expected utility decision rule for the decision of kicking versus running/passing based on the relative utility of a win, a tie, or a loss and the probabilities of success with a kick as opposed to a run/pass.

A CANONICAL ANALYSIS OF MANAGERIAL-ENVIRONMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS: IMPLICATIONS FOR METHODOLOGY AND POLICY*

The present study uses canonical analysis to examine the contingency model of organizations in the nursing home field. Data on environmental pressures and managerial practices relevant to the decision-making process are analyzed. Results support the theory that managerial practices are contingent on environmental pressures. The implications of these results for health-care decision makers and for future assessments of managerial-environmental relationships are discussed.     

国家创新体系视角下的国家创新能力测度述评——理论方法、数据基础及中国实践

文章从国家创新体系角度,对创新能力测度相关的理论基础、方法工具、科技统计调查及中国的研究与实践进行全面梳理和分析。国家创新能力测度的发展与实践表明:国家创新体系理论(NIS理论)以系统论为指导全面考察创新活动的发生机制,为准确测度国家创新能力提供了有力支撑;不同时期形成的创新能力测度方法与当时占主流地位的创新理论密切相关;当前占主导地位的测度方法可分为建模计量法、综合指标法和DEA效率评价法三类,都是以NIS理论为支撑的;规范的科技统计调查是准确测度创新能力的前提,OECD是这方面的典范,其经验为发展中国家提供了参考依据;中国学者在测度方法的探索上有诸多独到之处,但国内科技统计调查工作仍有待进一步规范。     

黄裳词学观及其词的创作特色

北宋词人黄裳认为,诗词同源,词也是诗,都应遵循儒家诗教所规定的创作原则和表现手法,肯定柳永词反映太平盛世的写实意义。黄氏所存词取材涉及咏物、写景、闲适、节序、咏怀等十类,但无艳情、闺情作品。由于黄氏虽尊奉儒教,又兼好老、释,故其词风清雅、坚劲。在北宋中后期,黄裳是一位颇具特色的词论家和词作者。
