The article analyzes the contemporary school choice debate in Ontario in relation to the neoliberal models of education instituted by other provinces, and places key issues of the debate within Canada’s historical context. In the first section, this paper focuses on tracing out the push for neoliberal school choice in Ontario within the broader history of its development in Canada, with particular attention to Alberta and British Columbia. The second section examines two aspects of the school choice debate: the issues of freedom of choice, as well as racial and social inequality. Finally, these aspects of school choice are placed alongside Milton Friedman’s voucher school model and the history of education in Ontario. This juxtaposition reveals some of the regulations needed to mitigate the harmful effects of school choice in Ontario.

In this chapter, we review the historical context of talent management, and identify the key issues and debates likely to shape the field going forward. We begin by offering a definition of talent management that reflects how both academics and practitioners have come to view the field. We then provide an overview of the conceptual history of talent management and a historical tour of its practice, focusing primarily on developments in United States, where much more has been written on the subject, from the early days of industrial production to today. We conclude by offering our thoughts on the areas of inquiry we believe hold the most promise for those interested in advancing the science and practice of talent management.

Bringing three key issues - Ozu, everyday life and the modern Japanese history - into a unified discussion, The Cinema of Ozu Yasujiro re-examines the renowned film director Ozu Yasujiro and his films from a socio-historical point of view to present a more contextualised contour of his cinema. The new approach will revise the previous tendency in Ozu studies that have emphasised Ozu's formal style, and articulate his consistent effort to explore the everyday life of ordinary Japanese people. The main subjects of this book include major issues of the history of Japan and Japanese cinema from prewar modernism and coming of sound cinema through struggles at war and during the US occupation, and the reconstruction and change of the postwar. It also emphasizes Ozu’s status and role as a studio director in Japanese film industry, with discussions of his generic contributions, such as shōshimin films, family melodrama, and bourgeois drama, which could be established under the constant conflict and negotiation with the studio Shochiku’s everyday realism. Upon this socio-historical context, the book attempts detailed reanalysis of Ozu's films throughout his career, centering on the multilateral aspect of the everyday in terms of space and time, produced through constant negotiation among different genders, classes and generations.

This article aims to discover the history of education in the early of Islam in Medina. This research uses a historical analysis method. Research data sources are a number of literatures that is considered valid and credible. This research succeeded in describing several findings. Education pattern of Muhammad in plurality of Medina society tended to be informal, emphasizing the role of family and halâqahs. This study also found historical facts that the values ​​of pluralism, intellectualism, and the spirit of urbanism had become a part of learning and education of Muhammad. The style of the leadership of the Muhammad in the midst of the pluralist society of Medina offers a pattern that is very concerned about the existence of the community students through an example (uswah and qudwah hasanah). In addition, the Prophet taught with full attention and tenderness and humility. He never underestimated someone who came asking for teaching. Islamic education pattern of Muhammad in Medina was marked by a number of characteristics, namely education organized by through the construction of the mosque as a centre of movement, centre of education, and centre of community. The principle carried out by the Muhammad in fostering society is the ethical approach (moral virtue).

The purpose of this study was to characterize early Donghak thought as the fusion of two horizons, one Confucian and the other Catholic. In particular, the study divided the Donghak founder Su-un Choe Je-u’s view of divinity into three stages, and showed how the evolution of his thought through these stages can be explained as the product of a dialogue between the Confucian monist tradition based on qi or vital energy and the Catholic dualist tradition based on Thomistic scholasticism. The study adopted a comparative and historical methodology, whereby comparison was limited to similarities and differences between Su-un’s works and sources in the Confucian or Catholic tradition that we can reasonably assume to have been available to Su-un. It was found that Su-un’s thought in the early stage was marked by theistic features similar to the scholastic view of God, and that in the middle stage Su-un sought to accommodate this theism within a pantheistic framework based on the Confucian monist tradition. For convenience’ sake, this theism-within-pantheism can be referred to as Su-un’s “panentheism”. It is suggested that the creative tension within this panentheism motivated Su-un to introduce innovations in his thought. First, in the middle stage, Su-un rejected the monism of li or pattern that was prevalent in the Neo-Confucian orthodoxy of his day, reverting to the older tradition of qi-monism. Second, in the late stage of his thought, he appears to have rehabilitated li as intelligent pattern that is the source of all signs of intelligence in the natural and moral order. As for the value of the approach adopted in this study, it enables us to make better sense of obscure details in Su-un’s works by placing them in their proper historical context, as evinced by the reading of Su-un’s late stage work “Buryeon Giyeon” presented herein. It is hoped that this approach will be applied more rigorously in future studies to deepen our understanding of the intellectual history of Donghak and Cheondogyo, along with various other new religions that emerged in Korea’s modern history.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of ongoing conversations between researchers and librarians. Without such conversations followed by the active purchasing of manuscripts, the important contributions of individual first settlers would likely remain untold. The research review that unfolds here is of one of New Zealand's significant first settlers, William Colenso (1811-1899). Yet, 30 years ago William Colenso was mostly regarded as a local rather than a national figure, renowned and ridiculed for his being dismissed from the Church Missionary Society for moral impropriety in 1852. By 2011, however, a conference dedicated to his life and work attracted both national and international scholars raising awareness and contributing unique knowledge about Colenso as missionary, printer, linguist, explorer, botanist, politician, author and inspector of schools. It is argued that such scholarship was enabled through the purposeful collecting of Colenso's papers over 30 years. Design/methodology/approach – The historical analysis draws from original documents and published papers chronicling the role and the views of one of New Zealand's first inspector of schools. A self-reflective review approach will show how new knowledge can enhance earlier published works and provide opportunities for further analysis. Findings – It will be demonstrated that as a result of ongoing conversations between librarians and researchers purposeful buying of archives and manuscripts have added fresh perspectives to the contributions William Colenso made to education in provincial New Zealand. Originality/value – This work is perhaps the first critical re-reading and review of one's own scholarship undertaken across 30 years within New Zealand history of education. It offers unique self-reflections on the subject focus and analyses of it over time.

The article examines the problematic and key issues of Russian historiography, theoretical and methodological aspects of the Mongolian revolution of 1921. Topicality of the study is due to the fact that the current scientific discourse pays great attention to the study of revolutionary processes in a broader historical context, with the involvement of new methodological approaches, previously unexplored materials. The Mongolian revolution of 1921 became a turning point on the path of the socialist reorganisation of the traditional nomadic society, carrying out radical political, socio-economic changes within the framework of the young Mongolian state. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of views in Russian, Mongolian and Western historiography, historical approaches, methodology in the study of the problem under consideration, new controversial aspects of the problems of the political history of Mongolia and Russian (Soviet)-Mongolian relations are revealed. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that the analysis of historical literature showed that the Mongolian Revolution of 1921 in transnational history was a complex and multifactorial phenomenon that included both internal and external factors: the movement of the Mongols themselves towards independence and sovereignty, the advancement of revolutionary ideas Comintern in the East, ensuring the security of the eastern borders from the USSR. The author comes to the conclusion that the Mongolian Revolution of 1921 became a large-scale event in its entire centuries-old history, led to colossal changes in the political, economic, social and cultural life of Mongolian society.

With the goal to provide an understanding of the nature of the war. The second section focuses on studying the separate instances of third-party mediation from 2007 to present day, organized into 3 phases, distinguished by mediator type: phase 1 looking at Qatar’s mediation; phase 2 looking at GCC mediation; and phase 3 looking at UN-led mediation. This section describes the capacity in which the third-party actor intervened, and scrutinizes the outcome, the actual impacts and measures the relative success. The second section looks at the why dimension, realities on the ground in Yemen that, either due to a lack of understanding, shortcomings of capability, neglect in addressing (whether as a result of conflicting interests, lack of incentive, or negative incentives), or general institutional difficulties, are posing as key challenges preventing the resolution of conflict. This section looks at two categories: the first deals with shortcomings and failures of state-building institutions of Yemen that led to the current civil conflict, and their continued deterioration having gone unaddressed by mediation efforts. The second looks at new structures prevent peace and incentivizing conflict that international efforts have contributed in developing and maintaining. Lastly, it looks at the recommendations for policy approaches looking ahead that would best address key issues.

Historical research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities in Canada has overwhelmingly focused on communities in larger urban settings. This article builds on this research by examining the experiences, histories, and defining characteristics of LGBTQ community in London, Ontario. Qualitative interviews with twenty participants were completed to acquire in-depth perspectives on how LGBTQ community is defined and experienced in the London context. Additional interviews were completed with five key informants who had lived in London for over twenty years to provide more of a historical context to the study. Archival research was conducted at the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives and the Hudler Archives at the University of Western Ontario Libraries. Research data was then analyzed using a priori themes and emergent categories. Four major themes of community were described by study participants: (1) support; (2) common or shared visions/goals; (3) physical spaces; and (4) LGBTQ-specific events. These resulting themes were applied retrospectively through an historical analysis of the Homophile Association of London Ontario (HALO) club. This research is important because it provides a localized definition of LGBTQ community and fills a void in the literature on LGBTQ histories in Canada by focusing on a smaller city. Furthermore, this research on HALO runs counter to arguments by other historians that suggest that homophile associations were short-lived, fragmented, and conservative. The history of the HALO club is a significant example of the ways in which community can be developed and sustained in a smaller city.
