Narratives of Scale in the Anthropocene Imagining Human Responsibility in an Age of Scalar Complexity

Narratives of Scale in the Anthropocene Imagining Human Responsibility in an Age of Scalar Complexity

The Anthropocene concept draws attention to the various forms of entanglement of social political ecological biological and geological processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The ensuing complexity and ambiguity create manifold challenges to widely established theories methodologies epistemologies and ontologies. The contributions to this volume engage with conceptual issues of scale in the Anthropocene with a focus on mediated representation and narrative. They are centered around the themes of scale and time scale and the nonhuman and scale and space. The volume presents an interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology geography political sciences history and literary cultural and media studies. Together they contribute to current debates on the (re-)imagining of forms of human responsibility that meet the challenges created by humanity entering an age of scalar complexity.

Doctrine and Difference The Thematic Scale of Classic American Literature

Doctrine and Difference The Thematic Scale of Classic American Literature

Doctrine and Difference: The Thematic Scale of Classic American Literature aims to expand and deepen our knowledge into the inquiry of “contextual historicism ” observing writers of the American nineteenth century and their vastly differing approaches to perceptions such as race gender and national identity. Ranging from the religious acuities of the first American Puritans to the more secularized literary awakening of the American Renaissance and into late-century texts that deliberately resist the limits of received religious and political opinion this volume seeks to uncover a history of human thought within classic American Literature. This volume critically observes these survivable works of literature presenting insight into the “difference” made by conversation dispute and dramatized self-doubt within novels and poems of the historical past. | Doctrine and Difference The Thematic Scale of Classic American Literature

Research on Investment Scale and Allocation Structure of Chinese Higher Education Finance

Research on Investment Scale and Allocation Structure of Chinese Higher Education Finance

Based on a systematic literature review the book aims to forecast the investment scale of Chinese higher education and the allocation structure of different types of higher education institutions in the next decade. The authors first introduce the complex setting of Chinese higher education finance including the background and theoretical foundation as well as an in-depth literature review. Via international comparative data they explore the adequacy and equity of the financial resources. By applying quantitative methods such as panel data analysis and time series analysis they forecast the public investment scale in higher education and the allocation structure and proportion among different types of higher education institutions. In addition the book investigates the standards of teaching funding and teacher research funding which are considered the main funding resources of Chinese universities and individual teachers. As China has become the world’s largest country of higher education how to provide adequate and equal funds to meet the increasing demand is of great interest to scholars and policymakers both from China and abroad. The book will also appeal to postgraduate students who would like to know the overall status of Chinese higher education finance. | Research on Investment Scale and Allocation Structure of Chinese Higher Education Finance

Development of Small-scale Industries During the New Order Government in Indonesia

Development of Small-scale Industries During the New Order Government in Indonesia

This title was first published in 2000: As in many other LDCs in Indonesia small-scale industries (SSIs) are important particularly with respect to the creation of employment opportunities. SSIs are expected to absorb many millions of workers who have been displaced by current economic crisis. This work seeks to explain the pattern of development of SSIs in Indonesia within a broader theoretical framework. It also deals with a number of SSI development-related aspects that in Indonesia so far have never or rarely been studied such as the formation of strategic alliance cluster development and application of theories of flexible specialization to the LDCs. The book also tries to examine empirically the effects of the current economic crisis and to assess theoretically the likely impact of the full implementation of the agreed IMF reform package on SSI development in the country. Main problems faced by small producers and the government policy environment are highlighted through several detailed examples. | Development of Small-scale Industries During the New Order Government in Indonesia

Institutional Adjustment for Economic Growth Small Scale Industries and Economic Transition in Asia and Africa

Institutional Adjustment for Economic Growth Small Scale Industries and Economic Transition in Asia and Africa

First published in 1998 this volume focuses on the special category of countries popularly referred to as ‘transition economies’ through an analysis of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and their role in Asian economies with a view to assessing whether they could or should provide a model for African countries. The present volume explores the institutional peculiarities displayed by ‘transition economies’. These are economies which are undergoing a comprehensive and fundamental societal transformation with a view to creating a utopian communist society within the frame of a centrally administered economy then a pluralistic society based on a market economy and the rule of law. Much of the debate on the economic performance of African LCD's has focused on informal sector activities or on the imperative to achieve structural adjustment. By highlighting instead the challenges facing two of the least successful among the African economies - Ethiopia and Tanzania both of which share a socialist past - this book moves beyond the above issues. It argues that institutional adjustment is critical to the prospects for success in developing transition economies. As such the book investigates the transaction costs environment within which small-scale industrial activities are set. By drawing extensively on the Asian experience (predominantly China and Vietnam but also India and Taiwan) it identifies sources of transaction costs by examining not only the transactional disadvantages of small-scale production but also the past and present sources of institutional inefficiency. | Institutional Adjustment for Economic Growth Small Scale Industries and Economic Transition in Asia and Africa

The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

Perennial conclusions from state-by-state funding-per-student analyses of underfunding and weak state commitment have become so common that they have diluted the potency of the argument to state policymakers for more higher education funding. In addition there has been little in the way of testing or questioning the assumptions embedded in traditional funding per student analysis and its accompanying conclusions. As state legislators balance the competing needs of education health trans­portation and public safety budgets they increasingly ask what return on investment (ROI) they get for the funding they provide including from higher education. The ROI language while potentially unsettling for its corporate-like and neoliberal connotation will persist into the foreseeable future. We must ask questions both of adequacy (How much funding should the states provide?) and benefit (What benefits do states receive for the higher education funding they provide?). The focus on traditional funding per student analysis has remained static for over forty years indicating the need for new ideas and methods to probe questions of adequacy and benefit. The Science of Higher Education is an introduction to a new paradigm that explores state higher education funding enrollment completion and supply (the number and type of institutions in a state) through the lens of what are commonly known as power laws. Power laws explain patterns in biological systems and characteristics of cities. Like cities state higher educa­tion systems are complex adaptive systems so it is little surprise that power laws also explain funding enrollment completion and supply. The scale relationships uncovered in the Science of Higher Education sug­gest the potential benefits state policymakers could derive by emphasizing enrollment completion or capacity policies based on economies of scale marginal benefits and the return state’s get on enrollment and completion for the funding they provide. The various features of state higher education systems that conform to scale patterns do not alone provide definitive answers for appropriate funding levels however. As this book addresses policymakers need to take into account the macro forces from demography to geography and the economy that situate the system as well the interactions between government and market actors that are at the core of every state higher education system and influence the outcomes it achieves. | The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

Human Rights Human Wrongs In the Scale of Human Conscience

Human Rights Human Wrongs In the Scale of Human Conscience

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is the best gift of the United Nations and its main human rights organ the Human Rights Commission to “We the Peoples of the World”. But that powerful instrument is often rendered powerless by the behaviour of individuals running the institutions and the states arguably the most powerful institution conceptualised by human mind so far. In the process the UN comes under serious criticism and its most important organ which helped give the UDHR was dissolved for “failing to live up to its ideals”. Ironically the same states and their representatives most instrumental in creating the UN institutions including the Human Rights Commission first but later vilifying it and leading the campaign for its replacement by the Human Rights Council are now once again attacking it as “hypocritical and self-serving organisation that makes a mockery of human rights” and the most powerful member state feels compelled to walk out of the Council. Where does the world the UN and “we the peoples” stand in the search for greater freedom from want and fear better enjoyment of dignity and rights?Travelling through an extraordinary journey of life academic pursuits and expeditions of professional and diplomatic mountain climbing including the Chairmanship of the 56th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights and its 5th Special Session on the Human Rights of the Palestinian People in the Occupied Palestine Territories Shambhu Ram Simkhada presents a scholarly diplomatic advocate and defender perspectives on the contemporary state of human rights and human wrongs in the scale of his own human conscience.

Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

This book aims to understand the predicaments of ‘left behind places’ and the scale of the policy challenge of ‘levelling up’ their economic prosperity. Drawing out lessons of wider international significance it examines how places (cities towns and localities) have grown apart over recent decades amidst deindustrialisation post-industrial transition and the disruptive shocks of the global financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. Using the UK case to illustrate its arguments the analysis identifies the different types of ‘left behind places’ and their distinctive economic experiences. The key features of urban and regional institutions and policies are reviewed to understand more about why despite some successes geographical inequalities remain an entrenched feature of the UK blighting the life chances and quality of life of its citizens and national economic progress as a whole. The weaknesses of past policies are highlighted and the case is made for a new mission-oriented policy model because only a radical shift in economic thinking governance and management is likely to achieve the ‘levelling up’ that is now a prominent refrain in the political lexicon. | Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

Erasing the Binary Distinction of Developed and Underdeveloped A Comparative Study of the Emergence of the Large-Scale Steel Industry in Imp

Erasing the Binary Distinction of Developed and Underdeveloped A Comparative Study of the Emergence of the Large-Scale Steel Industry in Imp

This book challenges the binary distinction of developed and underdeveloped in the categorization of any country while proposing to erase this binary with a yardstick of parity. Through a sample comparative historical study focusing on the question of the emergence of the large-scale steel industry (1880-1914) of four chosen countries two considered developed (Imperial UK and Post-colonial Imperial USA) and two considered underdeveloped (Imperial Russia and Colonial India) it is shown how this yardstick of parity can be applied without the categorization of societies as either developed or underdeveloped.

Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

This book is a step-by-step guide for improving student learning in higher education. The authors argue that a fundamental obstacle to improvement is that higher educators administrators and assessment professionals do not know how to improve student learning at scale. By this they mean improvement efforts that span an entire program affecting all affiliated students. The authors found that faculty and administrators particularly struggle to conceptualize and implement multi-section multi-course improvement efforts. It is unsurprising that ambitious wide-reaching improvement efforts like these would pose difficulty in their organization and implementation. This is precisely the problem the authors address. The book provides practical strategies for learning improvement enabling faculty to collaborate and integrating leadership social dynamics curriculum pedagogy assessment and faculty development. In Chapter 2 the authors tell a program-level improvement story from the perspective of a faculty member. Chapter 3 inverts Chapter 2. Beginning from the re-assess stage the authors work their way back to the individual faculty member first pondering whether she can do something to impact students’ skills. They peel back each layer of the process and imagine how learning improvement efforts might be thwarted at each stage. Chapters 4 through 9 dig deeper into the learning improvement steps introduced in Chapters 2 and 3. Each chapter provides strategies to help higher educators climb each step successfully. Chapter 10 paints a picture of what higher education could look like in 2041 if learning improvement were embraced. And finally Chapter 11 describes what you can do to support the movement. | Improving Student Learning at Scale A How-To Guide for Higher Education

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

This book explains how True Cost Accounting is an effective tool we can use to address the pervasive imbalance in our food system. Calls are coming from all quarters that the food system is broken and needs a radical transformation. A system that feeds many yet continues to create both extreme hunger and diet-related diseases and one which has significant environmental impacts is not serving the world adequately. This volume argues that True Cost Accounting in our food system can create a framework for a systemic shift. What sounds on the surface like a practice relegated to accountants is ultimately a call for a new lens on the valuation of food and a new relationship with the food we eat starting with the reform of a system out of balance. From the true cost of corn rice and water to incentives for soil health the chapters economically compare conventional and regenerative more equitable farming practices in and food system structures including taking an unflinching look at the true cost of cheap labour. Overall this volume points towards the potential for our food system to be more human-centred than profit-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet. It sets forth a path forward based on True Cost Accounting for food. This path seeks to fix our current food metrics in policy and in practice by applying a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems human systems agriculture and food systems. This volume is essential reading for professionals and policymakers involved in developing and reforming the food system as well as students and scholars working on food policy food systems and sustainability. | True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Research shows that enriching learning experiences such as learning communities service-learning undergraduate research internships and senior culminating experiences – collectively known as High-Impact Practices (HIPs) – are positively associated with student engagement; deep and integrated learning; and personal and educational gains for all students – particularly for historically underserved students including first-generation students and racially minoritized populations. While HIPs’ potential benefits for student learning retention and graduation are recognized and are being increasingly integrated across higher education programs much of that potential remains unrealized; and their implementation frequently uneven. Colleges are eager to use the HIP nomenclature for recruitment promoting equity for traditionally underserved student populations and preparing lifelong learners and successful professionals. However HIPs defy easy categorization or standardized implementation. They rely on fidelity quality and consistency – being “done well” – to achieve their learning outcomes; and above all require attention to access and equity if they are to fulfill their promise of benefitting all student populations equally. The goal of Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices is to provide examples from around the country of the ways educators are advancing equity promoting fidelity achieving scale and strengthening assessment of their own local high-impact practices. Its chapters bring together the best current scholarship methodologies and evidence-based practices within the HIPs field illustrating new approaches to faculty professional development culture and coalition building research and assessment and continuous improvement that help institutions understand and extend practices with a demonstrated high impact. For proponents and practitioners this book offers perspectives data and critiques to interrogate and improve practice. For administrators it provides an understanding of what’s needed to deliver the necessary support. | Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

A History of Architectural Modelmaking in Britain The Unseen Masters of Scale and Vision

A History of Architectural Modelmaking in Britain The Unseen Masters of Scale and Vision

Architectural modelmakers have long carried out their work hidden behind the scenes of architectural design and in presenting a history of architectural modelmaking in Britain for the first time this book casts a new light on their remarkable skills and achievements. By telling the story of the modelmakers who make architectural models rather than architects who commission and use them this book seeks to celebrate their often-overlooked contribution to the success and endurance of the architectural model in Britain over the past one hundred and forty years. Drawing from extensive archival research and interviews with practicing and retired modelmakers this book traces the complete history of architectural modelmaking in Britain from its initial emergence as a specialist occupation at the end of the nineteenth century through to the present day. It reveals the legacy of John Thorp the first professional architectural modelmaker in Britain who opened his business in London in 1883 and charts the lives and careers of the innovative and creative modelmakers who followed him. It examines the continually evolving materials tools and processes of architectural modelmaking and outlines the profound ideological economic and technological influences that have shaped the profession’s development. Illustrated with over one hundred photographs of architectural models from previously undocumented archives this book will be of great interest to architectural modelmakers academics and historians as well as anyone with an interest in architectural history and modelmaking. | A History of Architectural Modelmaking in Britain The Unseen Masters of Scale and Vision

Student-Centered Pedagogy and Course Transformation at Scale Facilitating Faculty Agency to IMPACT Institutional Change

Student-Centered Pedagogy and Course Transformation at Scale Facilitating Faculty Agency to IMPACT Institutional Change

In response to national concerns a decade ago driven by research that showed that higher education was making little impact on students’ development of broad competencies and critical thinking the provost and president of Purdue University a research university instituted a program whose goals were to build on the accumulated knowledge on effective teaching to facilitate student learning improve outcomes and change the institutional culture around teaching and learning – objectives to which many institutions aspire but which few consistently attain or attain at scale. This book describes the development of Purdue’s IMPACT program (Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation) from its tentative beginning when it struggled to recruit 35 faculty fellows to the present when 350 have been enrolled and the university has more applications than it can currently handle. Overall more than 600 courses have been impacted many of which have seen significantly reduced DFW rates. Chantal Levesque-Bristol whose Center for Instructional Excellence is part of an institutional team that comprises the Provost’s Office Teaching and Learning Technologies Unit Institutional Assessment the Purdue University Library and School of Information Studies and the Evaluation and Learning Research Center describes the evolution of IMPACT lessons learned and the central tenets that have led to its success. The purpose of this book is notonly to describe the program but also to highlight the importance and implications of the underlying motivational theoretical framework guiding the initiative. Having started as a course redesign program that faltered in achieving its objectives the breakthrough came with the introduction of the fundamental motivational principles of self determination theory (SDT) followed by the applications of these principles to the research in higher education leadership and pedagogy. Giving faculty fellows the autonomy to build on their disciplinary expertise pursue their interests and predilections within a guided framework and leveraging interactions with colleagues through FLCs stimulated faculty fellows’ motivation and creativity. This book describes the core and structure of the IMPACT program presents details of faculty learning curriculum explains how the focus on SDT principles shaped the program’s evolution and transformation from a course redesign to a professional faculty development program and covers the considerations behind the formation of faculty fellow IMPACT teams A concluding chapter addresses how the IMPACT program having helped faculty pivot to emergency remote teaching when the campus closed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic is being modified so it can be successfully sustained online if circumstances require or as a means to expand its reach in the future. While the principles behind this initiative will be of compelling interest to its primary audience of faculty developers several chapters will have appeal to instructors and administrators. | Student-Centered Pedagogy and Course Transformation at Scale Facilitating Faculty Agency to IMPACT Institutional Change
