Resumen: Francisco Murillo Ferrol fue catedrático de derecho político en la Universidad de Valencia desde su acceso a la cátedra, en 1952, hasta su marcha a la Universidad de Granada en 1961. Fue el primer catedrático estable que tuvo la disciplina en Valencia desde 1932. Cuando llega, es un profesor formado en la filosofía del derecho y que había realizado algunas reflexiones sobre la teoría del Estado desde perspectivas históricas y clásicas. Sus ocho años y medio en Valencia fueron de intensa actividad: dirigió el colegio mayor “Luis Vives”; participó intensamente en la vida académica de la Facultad; impulsó un Seminario interdisciplinar de ciencias sociales centrado en la sociología y la ciencia política, cuyas corrientes principales en Europa y América empezó a introducir; creó una gran biblioteca sobre estas materias; animó un primer grupo de discípulos; etc. El presente estudio muestra toda esa actividad, al tiempo que hace una descripción de los principales rasgos de la personalidad del profesor, como su tolerancia política y personal, su vigorosa personalidad intelectual, caracterizada por una actitud crítica radical, su escepticismo rayano en el pesimismo y, sobre todo, su firme vocación docente, que le llevó a ser definido como “un maestro en tiempo de patronos”.Palabras clave: Universidad franquista, Murillo Ferrol, derecho político, ciencia política, sociología.Abstract: Francisco Murillo Ferrol was a professor of political law at the University of Valencia from his access to the chair in 1952, until his departure to the University of Granada in 1961. He was the first stable profesor this discipline had in Valencia since 1932. When arriving, he was a professor trained in philosophy of law who had done some reflections on the theory of the State from historical and classical perspectives. His eight and a half years in Valencia show an intense activity: he was the director of the college “Luis Vives”; he participated intensely in the academic life of the faculty; he promoted an interdisciplinary seminar on social sciences focused on sociology and political science, whose main currents in Europe and America he began to introduce; he created a large library on these matters and encouraged a first group of disciples; etc. The present study shows all this activity, as well as a description of the main features of the professor’s personality, such as his political and personal tolerance, his vigorous intelectual personality, characterized by a radical critical attitude, his scepticism bordering on pessimism and, above all, his strong vocation towards teaching, which led him to be defined as “a master in an age of bosses”.Keywords: Francoist university, Murillo Ferrol, political law, political science, sociology.

The term “social sciences” (‘ulūm-i-ijtimā’ī) has gained currency in Iran only during the last fifteen years or so, but some of the disciplines falling within its purview have been in existence for a longer period. Thus the first institution for teaching political science was established in 1899, and the first chair of sociology was created in 19 35 in the University of Tehran. Besides, iike Molière’s bourgeois gentillhomme who belatedly realized that he had been making prose all his life without being aware of it, some Iranian scholars too have long been engaged in writing, translating and conducting research on social problems or using sociological concepts without being conscious of themselves as social scientists.Since from a chronological viewpoint, political science appeared in Iran prior to other disciplines of social sciences and its studies involve problems of a distinct nature, the present paper is divided into two parts: the first dealing with political science, and the second with sociology and related disciplines.

Center Periphery

Este artigo apresenta parte de um estudo qualitativo de cunho participativo, realizado entre os anos de 2013 e 2017, e traz uma reflexão sobre a crescente inserção de sujeitos das classes populares no curso de Pedagogia de uma universidade privada localizada na região Serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para o desenvolvimento do texto, busca-se situar a chegada desses estudantes na universidade e, em diálogo com as experiências desses sujeitos, os estudos decoloniais e a pedagogia do oprimido, visualizar o deslocamento do sentimento de humilhação para o sentimento de periferia. Entre o desejo de pertencimento e a sensação de inadequação, estudantes se movem no cotidiano do curso de Pedagogia e demonstram outras possibilidades de compreensão do processo formativo. Tomando a relação centro-periferia (DUSSEL, 2006) como metáfora, este texto sinaliza como resultado outra compreensão acerca da formação de professores oriundos das classes populares. Palavras-chave: Curso de Pedagogia. Democratização da educação. Educação Popular The popular classes in the Pedagogy course discovering yourself as periphery AbstractThis subject is part of a qualitative study of participatory nature carried out in the Pedagogy course of a private university in a city in a moutain region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, between the years 2013 and 2017, dealing with reflection about the growing isertion of subjects from popular classes. For the development of the text, I seach to situate the arriving of this studants in the university and, in dialogue with those experiences, the Decolonial Studies and the Pedagogy of the Opressed visualize the displacement from the humiliation feeling for the periphery feeling. Between the desire for belonging and the sensation of indequacy, the students move in a daily couse of pedagogy and showing anothers possibilities of comprehension about their formation. Taking the relaction center-periphery (DUSSEL, 2006) as a metaphor, at this article, signals as the results another comprehension about the formation of teachers from popular classes.

Unsuccessful as plaintiffs and appellees in a prayer for relief under the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act of 1934, as amended, from the effects of the inequitable and outmoded act of Illinois of 1901 creating the present Congressional districts, Kenneth W. Colegrove (who in other capacities is chairman of the department of political science at Northwestern University and secretary-treasurer of the American Political Science Association), Peter J. Chamales, attorney, and Kenneth C. Sears, professor of law at the University of Chicago, have nevertheless received from the District Court and from the Supreme Court encouraging dicta and dissent which foreshadow new developments in election law.The legislature of Illinois has repeatedly refused to redistrict the state for Congressional representation, despite grave and increasing population shifts. A new but inequitable Congressional redistricting act, passed by the General Assembly in 1931, was declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court because it violated federal law and the provision of the Illinois constitution requiring that “all elections shall be free and equal.” Ten years later, when a similar attack was made on the long-standing and much more discriminatory act of 1901, the Illinois supreme court took an opposite view, declaring that the constitutional section is addressed primarily to the legislature and that to argue for a requirement, in all cases, that districts be equal in population “is to assert a millennium which cannot be reached.”

Language Of Publication

Abstract This study investigates how the importance of English in academia has impacted the academic life of fourteen researchers in the humanities and social sciences (HSS) at one university in Chile and uses semi-structured interviews focussing on scholarly publication. The study intends to discover, firstly, what the national and the university policies are regarding publishing in Spanish and English in Chile; secondly, how important it is to publish in English and Spanish, with respect to the researchers’ disciplines; and, thirdly, whether researchers with expertise in English are better off in terms of publication than those who lack this expertise. Findings suggest that these researchers write more publications in Spanish than in English, but favour publishing in both languages, counterbalancing the spread of English as the dominant language of publication in academia because Spanish and English can co-exist without threatening the scholarly cultural traditions of Spanish scholars. These scholars also recognise that publishing in English assists them to attain a wider readership, and to gain greater monetary rewards for publication in high impact journals, usually in English, as a result of increased grants and promotions. Finally, the paper suggests considering practices for teaching English for Research Publication Purposes.

Experts from politics, the media and science have stated for years that the number of suitable candidates for the position of mayor in the state of Baden-Württemberg has been declining steadily. This volume examines whether this is really the case and what the reasons for the seemingly dwindling attractiveness of this position are. Based on empirical data, an up-to-date stocktaking survey is conducted among mayors and possible mayoral candidates. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the job, revealing mechanisms of selective recruitment and its conditional factors. Its concentration on the aspects mentioned gives this investigation a high degree of relevance for public and academic discussions beyond the debates on the office of mayor in Baden-Württemberg. Vinzenz Huzel studied political science at the University of Augsburg, public management at the HVF in Ludwigsburg and did his doctorate at the TU in Darmstadt. He works for the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation and is a lecturer at the Universities of Applied Sciences for Administration in Ludwigsburg and Kehl.

At the heart of the debates which have resounded around political science these past few years are charges and countercharges as to the “politics” of the contenders. Terms likeconservative, liberalandradical areno longer reserved for analysis of positions in the larger society; they have become part of the regular vocabulary with which political scientists evaluate their colleagues. This increase in visible and self-conscious political dissensus extends, of course, throughout the university, but it has left a special mark on political science and the other social sciences where the issues and objects of political disagreement are so enmeshed with the regular subject matter of the discipline.In spite of all of the discussion, and the now seemingly general recognition that the politics of members of the profession has a lot to do with its development and contributions, we still don't have very much firm information on the distribution of political views among the approximately 6,000 faculty members regularly engaged in the teaching of political science in the United States. There have been a number of studies, of course, of party identification and voting behavior, showing political science to be one of the most Democratic fields in academe.
