南方方言更接近古汉语的几个原因

从地理上的差异、时间是主要的原因、北方常受外族入侵和国内战争、动乱引起的民族大迁移、交际和乡土根性等四个方面分析南方方言更接近古汉语的原因     

The Child Labor Amendment in the Social Studies Class

As part of a geography-based minority recruiting program (MRP), teachers were asked to serve as mentors for teams of high school students interested in both postsecondary education and geography as a major discipline or career path. The goal was to determine whether teacher participation in MRP programs was an effective tool to mentor underrepresented populations in geography. One component of the program evaluation examined the impact of teacher participation in a MRP by analyzing participating teachers’ classroom strategies and students’ performance in the school year following the summer program. Teachers were surveyed and participated in follow-up interviews during the school year following their participation in the MRP to determine the effects of the program's professional development components. The research hoped to reveal: (a) the participant-teachers’ function and role as mentors for students and the changes of participant-teachers’ behaviors, and (b) how any changes in their classrooms have affected their students’ understanding of geography. Data collection, reduction and analysis followed a grounded-theory approach to qualitative research. The research confirmed that participants leave professional development with an increased enthusiasm for and a better understanding of geography that they shared with their colleagues and students. Furthermore, teachers reported overcoming campus and district barriers in order to implement strategies and technologies provided during the MRP. More promising findings validate the prevailing thought that the positive energy of the MRP continues to reach into the classrooms in the following years. By understanding the impacts of professional development on participating teachers, the discipline may better recruit and retain high-achieving minority students.

Strange passages: carceral mobility and the liminal in the catastrophic history of American deportation

In the early twentieth century, the United States developed an integrated, continental deportation network based on rail travel. This new state apparatus would enable the restrictionists’ dream of immigration control and speed the elimination of those they deemed unfit for American life. It set a template for mass removal that would expand in the century to come. Scholars of immigrant detention and removal commonly employ Victor Turner’s concept of liminality to understand migrant experiences, but this paper suggests the need for an expanded theorization of the liminal as manifold rather than singular. Drawing on deportee case files and literature from the early twentieth century, this paper explores the complex, variegated and painful liminalities of the deportation journey. It argues that power affected deportees’ experience of space and time across different liminal zones and interprets the embodied catastrophe of deportation for migrant communities. If traumatic experiences reconfigure the meaning of time into a ‘before’ and ‘after’, deportation was an ongoing catastrophe that offered little sense of completion.     

唐诗中的冀东地理意象考释

＂卢龙＂、＂榆关＂等冀东地名在唐诗中频繁出现,并成为边塞、边地的象征,或与衡阳、潇湘等南方地名并称,作为北方极其僻远之地的代表,构成古典诗文中极具典型意义的地理意象群。对相关地名的实际地理位置进行辨析,揭示冀东地理意象群在唐诗中的典型意义,并对此意象群在唐诗中形成的原因、在后世诗文中的应用等相关问题作出分析,对理解中国古典诗歌的丰富意涵以及进行区域人文地理研究、旅游文化资源的整理具有多重价值。     

“历史地理学”还是“地理历史学”？——英国历史地理学方法论视野下的中国式问题评议

在国内历史地理学的本土语境中，“地理历史学”这一概念几乎从未进入专业研究者的话语体系。一些现代地理学者认为，以往的中国历史地理学实际属于地理历史研究范畴，前者之名掩盖了后者的存在；进而主张建立一门与历史地理学并驾齐驱的新学科——地理历史学。事实上，类似争议在以英美为代表的英语国家学术界亦曾发生过。对此，英国著名历史地理学家达比和贝克都曾有所阐释和辨析，值得镜鉴。本文重申只有将历史地理学视为沟通和融会地理学与历史学两大传统学科之间领域的学术关怀，才能摆脱古往今来两者各自立足于本位而提出的片面见解。重视西方历史地理学方法论的形成与发展，有助于厘清这一争议话题的本质，也有利于推动本土学科自身的理论建构。

Music and the Social Studies

The author examined the way students enrolled in the Introductory Human Geography course at Kansas State University described their hometowns using the location theme of geography. Participants completed this task as a required take-home assignment. Because the majority of students were from Kansas, the author presents results from locations of Kansas hometowns in this article. Students seemed to prefer to use relative location rather than absolute location to describe their hometowns. Realizing that expressing relative location only in one way may not be sufficient, students described relative location in numerous ways. In doing so, students provided interesting information and new insights about the place theme of geography. They also analyzed how absolute and relative location are subject to change over time. Through this assignment, students realized the importance of location and the significance of interactions of places of different sizes.     

麦都思及其早期中文史地著述

19世纪初来华的英国传教士麦都思撰有三部具有开创性意义的中文史地著述。《地理便童略传》是新教传教士所编写的第一部面世的汉文地理学通论 ;《咬吧总论》是晚清来华外国传教士所编写第一部中文外国区域地志 ;《东西史记和合》不仅是 1 9世纪问世的第一部中西比较的编年体史书 ,可能也是有史以来第一部东西比较历史的著述。麦都思在这三部文献中不仅给中国人带来了西方有关世界地理、区域地理和西方历史的常识 ,而且还注意在这些中文著述中对中国文献加以利用和吸收 ,使这三部文献不仅在一般西学史地知识的介绍方面 ,而且在早期汉学研究方面 ,也显示了它们一定的地位。     

对"上海学"研究的思考

对于是否需要建立专门的学科体系来统领对上海的研究,学术界进行过广泛的讨论和思考.今天我们再从宏观区域角度、都市地理学角度、大城市内部发展角度、大都市市民研究角度等方面探索上海学研究的几个重要的方向.建立上海学这门学科将推动整个城市科学的创新和发展.
