Labour Historians As Labour Intellectuals: Generations And Crises, Terry Irving, Sean Scalmer
Labour Historians As Labour Intellectuals: Generations And Crises, Terry Irving, Sean Scalmer
Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
Over the last nine decades or so, Australian labour historians have been involved in a massive, ongoing, fractious, collective intellectual project. Together, they have written the history of Australian labour institutions; the history of class relations; the history of work; the history of community; the history of labour's political thought; the history of working-class culture; and the history of how class intersects with gender, race and sexuality. At various moments, the project has been criticised, defended, ironically eulogised, remade and recovered. It has been attacked as politically-motivated; theoretically underdeveloped; communistic; nationalistic; masculinist; naive; overly critical; overly celebratory; old-fashioned and intellectually …

Labour And Community, Past And Future: Or Why Merrie (White, Male) England And Mateship Are Not Enough, Eileen Yeo
Labour & Community - Sixth National Conference of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History
You would think New Labour had invented the word 'Community', so often do the B1airites use it. A new' Active Community Unit' is being established in Whitehall, to spearhead Blair's challenge 'for Britain to mark the millennium with an explosion of giving of acts of community that would touch people's lives'l. Key Labour politicians have attended seminars on communitarianism, a rather authoritarian moralistic voluntarism, developed by sociologist Amitrai Etzioni in the USA.

An Analytical Framework For Cross-Cultural Studies Of Teaching, Daniel D. Pratt
Adult Education Research Conference
Working cross-culturally, whether defined by discipline, institution, community, or nation-state, inherently means working outside the familiar. The aim of this paper is to present an analytical framework through which to explore and understand different conceptions of teaching. The framework consists of three analytical categories: epistemic beliefs, normative expectations, and pedagogical procedures.

Applying Insights From Cultural Studies To Adult Education: What Seinfeld Says About The Aerc, Nod Miller
Adult Education Research Conference
The zany adventures of a glamorous British professor who goes to an important international conference but spends most of her time searching for a TV in order to watch her favourite sitcom.

For Adults Only: Queer Theory Meets The Self And Identity In Adult Education, A. Brooks, K. Edwards
For Adults Only: Queer Theory Meets The Self And Identity In Adult Education, A. Brooks, K. Edwards
Adult Education Research Conference
This article brings the perspective of "Queer theory" to the field of Adult Education as a way of examining critically the notions of self, identity, and sexuality as they have been taken for granted within the field. Adult Education, like most fields of practice and research, assumes the Western ideals of the monadic self, clear and undisputed identities, and heterosexuality. However, the intersection of a strong postmodern voice in both academia and the popular culture, the increasing exploration of other-than-hetero-sexualities in the media, and the foregrounding of sexuality in the work of adult education researchers (Brooks & Edwards,1997; Edwards, 1997; …

On The Educational Value Of Arguing In Indirectly Informative Language, Maged El Komos
On The Educational Value Of Arguing In Indirectly Informative Language, Maged El Komos
OSSA Conference Archive
Writing arguments in indirectly informative language can improve undergraduates' analytic and communicative competencies. A twofold support is offered. First, written examples are examined to show how producing such argument can develop one's practic al understanding of the cultural repertoire--a knowledge argued crucial to both the evaluative and the communicative uses of reasoning. Second, various articulations of the relation between practical understanding and communication are discussed: those o f Gadamer on the connection between hermeneutics and rhetoric; Ricouer on the continuity of the imagination, cognition, and feeling in metaphor; and work in cognitive psychology on the links among language, thought and …
Theoretic Bondage:Argumentation Analysis And Higher-Order Goals, Denis May Wales
Theoretic Bondage:Argumentation Analysis And Higher-Order Goals, Denis May Wales
OSSA Conference Archive
The emergent field of cultural studies uses various critical-emancipatory frameworks to evaluate theory and practice in philosophy and other disciplines. As part of a larger project incorporating feminist, postcolonial, Marxist, and black African critical philosophies, this essay selectively highlights certain aspects of argumentation analysis which share characteristics with dominating modes of thought. Pragma-dialectic theory is focused upon, chosen due to its progressive methodology within the context of argumentation study, and its explicit commitment and sensitivity to higher-order goals such as equality between arguers. Specifically, the Pragma-dialectic method of reconstruction termed "addition" and the notion of the "ideal arguer" are analyzed, …
