This essay is a comment on the research program launched by Frank Adloff and Sighard Neckel. My comment is specifically focused on their research agenda as outlined in their trend-setting article, ‘Futures of sustainability as modernization, transformation, and control: A conceptual framework’. The comment is also addressed more generally to the research program of the Humanities Centre for Advanced Studies ‘Futures of Sustainability’. I raise three issues: the first relates to the very idea of the future; the second concerns the notion of social imaginaries and the third question is focused on the idea of social transformation.

This chapter analyzes the cultural conditions that gave rise to curriculum studies and later to curriculum history, and the ways that curriculum history could become a cooperative research program for understanding the development of schools in their respective cultural and national contexts. It makes a distinction between a global and an international research agenda, suggesting that the latter offers important advantages. It also addresses the historical roles that constitutions play in shaping citizens through schooling. The chapter also analyzes how the architecture of education systems aims not only at fabricating national unity and identity but also at creating social distinctions within the nation-state.

AbstractIn the context of the encounter of UK and German socio-legal studies in this issue, this Article develops preliminary thoughts on a research agenda for the comparative interdisciplinary empirical study of legal doctrine. Based on a working definition of doctrine as an institutionally legitimized practice of making statements on the law, it presents an overview of sociological and comparative theorizing about doctrine in Germany, and of the data and methods being used to study it, in order to identify similar or diverging trends in the UK and elsewhere. This Article aims to show that legal doctrine, which is often regarded by non-lawyers as arcane and/or tedious, is an interesting and important subject for comparative socio-legal research.

AbstractA new framework, agenda and practice is called for to address the challenges and opportunities architecture must confront in the age of our computationally empowered Post-Fordist network society. This paper introduces the research agenda of ‘agent-based parametric semiology’, and explains the necessity of introducing a new tool, agent-based life-process modelling, as part of the design process, in order to cope with the new complexity and dynamism of architecture’s social functionality. The paper reviews the development of this design research program over the last 10 years. Finally, the paper describes current efforts to move from the illustrative use of life-process modelling to a scientifically grounded quantitative analysis and generative design optimization.

Abstract The Newtonian research program consists of the core axioms of the Principia Mathematica, a sequence of force laws and auxiliary hypotheses, and a set of methodological rules. The latter underwent several changes and so it is sometimes claimed that, historically seen, Newton and the Newtonians added methodological rules post constructione in order to further support their research agenda. An argument of Duhem, Feyerabend, and Lakatos aims to provide a theoretical reason why Newton could not have come up with his theory of the Principia in accordance with his own methodology: Since Newton’s starting point, Kepler’s laws, contradict the law of universal gravitation, he could not have applied the so-called method of analysis and synthesis. In this paper, this argument is examined with reference to the Principia’s several editions. Newton’s method is characterized, and necessary general background assumptions of the argument are made explicit. Finally, the argument is criticized based on a contemporary philosophy of science point of view.

The workshop at which the papers that comprise this volume were presented also generated a research agenda for the "History of Marine Animal Populations (HMAP)" project. This agenda, in turn, formed the basis of a proposal that subsequently attracted financial support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (New York City). Having commenced in January 2001, the HMAP initiative provides an historical dimension to the "Census of Marine Life," a decade-long research program designed to assess and explain the diversity, distribution and abundance of marine life in the world's oceans....

Mentorship is a reciprocal relationship geared toward developing inexperienced individuals' professional competencies. This hospital-based, mentorship account presents case studies illustrating mentorship examples of engagement in the research process and shares anecdotes of nurses' mastery of nursing research studies. Evidence and mentorship principles are oriented in the context of caritas processes. The mentorship affiliation benefits mentees' progress in employing research methods, building a stronger nursing research program, and advancing a healthcare system's nursing research agenda. It highlights mentees' professional journeys and development as a local and regional research committee chair, research study coinvestigator, principal investigator, and manuscript author.

Transnational Civil Society

This article takes stock of a plethora of recent works examining the flowering of transnational civil society activism in world politics. The author argues that this work contributes to a progressive research agenda that responds to a succession of criticisms from alternative perspectives. As the research program has advanced, new areas of inquiry have been opened up, including the need for a central place for normative international theory. The author also contends that the focus of this research on the transnationalization of civil society provides a trenchant response to an important puzzle concerning the leverage of civil society vis-à-vis the contemporary state in an era of globalization. Further, the liberal variant of transnational advocacy research constitutes a powerful theoretical counter not only to other nonliberal theories that privilege other agents or structures but also to other varieties of contemporary liberal international theory, such as those privileging preexisting domestic preference formation or state centric versions of liberal constructivism.

Toward a Research Agenda for the Study of Situation Perceptions: A Variance Componential Framework

Situation perception represents the fulcrum of a “psychology of situations” because situation ratings are ubiquitous. However, no systematic research program exists so far, particularly because two competing traditions have not been integrated: Objectivist views stress situations’ consensually shared meanings (social reality), and subjectivist views idiosyncratic meanings (personal reality). A componential framework can disentangle social from personal reality in situation perceptions: When multiple perceivers (P) rate multiple situations (S) on multiple situation characteristics (C), variance in those ratings can be decomposed according to S × C, P × S, and P × C breakdowns. Six grand questions of situation perception research are spawned from these decompositions: complexity, similarity, assimilation, consensus, uniqueness, and accuracy. Analyses of real data are provided to exemplify our ideas, along with customizable R codes for all methods. A componential framework allows novel and unique insights into different questions surrounding situation perceptions and provides a coherent research agenda.
