New Phase

Is the era of globalisation on the wane or on the cusp of a new phase of extraordinary expansion? US president Trump's abandonment of trade agreements and the rise of protectionism coincide with China's ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, an unprecedented investment in infrastructure across Asia, Europe and North Africa to improve the connectivity of China with its markets by both land and sea. The future is therefore anyone's guess, but what about the past? There has been much discussion by archaeologists about ancient globalisations (most recently, Hodos 2017), but archaeological studies have often typically been set within the looser framework of ‘connectivity’—the interconnectedness of people and places and the movement of material culture and ideas. The books reviewed here are concerned with various aspects of connectivity, focusing on the Eastern Mediterranean and its European hinterland. All of the volumes are edited collections, each adopting a different unifying theme—the influence of Braudel, a single country as microcosm, the transfer of technology, changevstradition, and the effects of boundaries and frontiers. Do any wider insights into connectivity in the past emerge? And where might archaeological studies of connectivity go next?

Rapid Pace

Organizations such as the AASCB and the Pathways Commission (2012) recommend that emerging technologies be included in the accounting curriculum.  Yet the inclusion of emerging technologies represents a challenge for accounting educators due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with many technologies, as well as the rapid pace of technology change and innovation.  This paper answers the call by the Pathway Commission (2012) for additional research focused on enhancing learning experiences to better reflect current and emerging technologies. Using an experiential learning approach (Butler, Church, and Spencer (2019), we create a hands-on, learning activity focused on blockchains in order for accounting students to gain a conceptual understanding of blockchains and its applications and implications beyond bitcoins.
