Learning Technologies Project 2000 Student Data : Executive Report, Katherine Dix

Dr Katherine Dix

The DECStech 2001 Learning Technologies Project was developed with the major aim of maximising the uptake of purposeful use of technologies to improve student learning outcomes through using a network of nine Discovery and Global Discovery schools. One of the strategies developed to achieve this was the development of an online survey which measured and tracked changes in students' attitudes regarding school, self-esteem and the use of technology in learning. The survey was administered annually over a three-year period to all students in years 5 to 10 in the nine participating schools. This report provides a summary of the data …

"Culturing" Survival : Afro-Caribbean Migrant Culture And The Human Rights Of Women Under Globalization, Hope Lewis Dec 1999

"Culturing" Survival : Afro-Caribbean Migrant Culture And The Human Rights Of Women Under Globalization, Hope Lewis

Hope Lewis

These remarks were delivered at the 93rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law (24-27 March 1999, Washington, DC) for a panel on the rule of law vs. cultural authority. The reality for working-class Afro-Caribbean women migrants (called "lionheart gals" by one Caribbean feminist organization) is that both "the rule of law" and "cultural authority" can enhance, or undermine, the protection of fundamental human rights. For lionheart gals, the choice is not between a liberating rule of law and a static, cocoonlike cultural authority. For them, the primary imperative is to use law and culture in a creative …


Social Norms And Judicial Rulemaking: Commitment To Political Process And The Basis Of Tort Law, Martin A. Kotler Dec 1999

Social Norms And Judicial Rulemaking: Commitment To Political Process And The Basis Of Tort Law, Martin A. Kotler

Martin A. Kotler

Thus, although the tort reform debate often focuses on the conflict between legislative bodies …

By changing the angle on each incidence of breast baring, it demonstrates how the act of baring is amenable to multiple readings, all of which can be returned to enrich a relevant legal analysis.
