International audience This article describes the interactions among different social actors involved in the fight against the Ebola epidemic in Guinea, focusing on their professional and community identities. It shows how the epidemic has contributed to create new identities, grouped into two different semantic fields: the “Ebola people” and the “communities”, but also new professional identities. In the theoretical framework of Olivier  de  Sardan’s socio-anthropology of development, the article tries to provide a better knowledge about the experts of the “Riposte,” belonging to different disciplinary fields and on their representations of local people. Cet article décrit les interactions entre les différents acteurs impliqués dans la lutte contre l’épidémie d’Ebola en Guinée, en se focalisant sur leurs identités communautaires et professionnelles. Il montre comment l’épidémie a contribué à forger de toute pièce des identités inédites, regroupées en deux camps opposés, «  les gens d’Ebola  » et les «  communautés  », ainsi que de nouvelles figures professionnelles. Dans une perspective de la socio-anthropologie du développement de Jean-Pierre  Olivier  de  Sardan, l’article cherche à contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des opérateurs de la «  Riposte  », des interactions entre les spécialistes de disciplines différentes et de leurs représentations sur les populations locales. L’articolo descrive le interazioni tra i vari attori impegnati nella lotta contro l’epidemia di Ebola in Guinea, concentrandosi sulle loro identità professionali e comunitarie. Mostra in che modo l’epidemia abbia contribuito a creare delle identità inedite, raggruppate in due campi opposti: la “gente di Ebola” e le comunità, ma anche a determinare la nascita di nuove figure professionali. Richiamandosi alla socio-antropologia dello sviluppo di Jean-Pierre Olivier  de  Sardan, l’articolo cerca di fornire una migliore conoscenza degli esperti della “Riposte”, delle interazioni tra specialisti di diverse discipline et delle loro rappresentazioni sulle popolazioni locali.

Constructivist Model

This introductory article attempts to set a conceptual stage for the special issue on identities of school leaders. We do this by beginning with a discussion of identity – its definition, philosophical roots, nature, and components. We then move to a discussion of identity development and the various dimensions that characterize this development. The article ends with a brief description of a critical constructivist model of identity. Our intention in the article is not to offer a theoretical framework that will be used by the article authors, but to offer a conceptual stage that provides the background for understanding identity.

In this article, I address African indigenous knowledge of early childhood development by discussing young children’s cultural spaces of care, play and learning among the Guji people of Ethiopia. I analyze practices in the cultural spaces of young children and show how participatory community-based care and learning are pivotal in the tradition of early childhood development in the Guji people. Furthermore, I present the features of play and learning traditions in which young children are social actors in sustaining social interaction and stability in their neighborhoods. My discussion is based on data drawn from 10 months ethnographic fieldwork carried out in the rural villages of the Guji people.

Abstract This article reveals factors that need to be considered by facilitating institutions and organisations prior to adoption of scientific indicators in community-based monitoring of mangrove ecosystems; as a necessary route towards achieving effective participation and meaningful experiential learning processes. It employs an Experiential Learning Intervention Workshop (ELIW) as a key methodological tool and a useful space for analysing conditions that are necessary for adoption of scientific frameworks in the Tanzanian coastal area. ELIW also offers an opportunity for local people to share knowledge and decide the kind of input required for monitoring mangroves and fisheries.

The study critically analyses how the local people in Ga West municipality perceive local participation and socio-cultural factors that influence local participation. The study used the mixed method design. The lottery method of the simple random sampling technique coupled with Neuman and Neuman’s (2006) recommendation on random convenience sampling were used to sample and collect data from 187 respondents. The study revealed that local participation provides the local people employment avenues. It was revealed that developmental projects brought to their communities do not allow the local people to be involved at the planning and implementation phases. The study further revealed that women were of the opinion that projects brought to them were not feminine enough and did not build their capacity. Education, social cohesion, peace and stability were among some of the sociocultural factors that influence participation. The study again recommended that every community member should participate, regardless of their gender, ethnic group or socio-cultural differences.

This chapter presents an overview and reflection of the range of methods involved in researching teenagers’ spatial practices in a divided city. The research draws on the ‘new sociology of childhood’ as its theoretical framework. This involves seeing young people as competent social actors in their own right. It involves recognising that young people do not simply reflect adult assumptions about the everyday world but develop their own ways of seeing and knowing. It prioritises young people’s points of views and uses methodologies which encourage young people’s voices to be heard. The study utilised a range of methods including questionnaires, focus group discussions, essays and photo prompts and the chapter outlines how each method contributed to the aims and objectives of the research.

Cultural Historical Activity

Drawing on three years of data, we show how an embedded university research team and eleven K-8 educators reorganized learning and negotiated innovative curricular activities for English learners (ELs) in spite of restrictive curricular mandates in an urban Midwestern district. We analyze how participating teachers appropriated theoretical constructs such as cultural historical activity theory (CHAT), third space, funds of knowledge, as well as using discourse analysis to design curriculum aimed at improving language learning through mathematics, science, and community-based problem solving. The learning of teachers was purposefully designed to develop new professional identities. The learning was also designed to move teachers from deficit views of multilingualism to dynamic stances grounded in polyglot language ideologies. We examine the challenges and opportunities of participants' movement from resistant, procedural, and ethnographic identities towards teacher researcher identities.

Coastal Resource

Community Based Management (CBM) makes people as the one who has a main role in the natural resource management. This management involves local people in planning, executing and also enjoying the result of that natural resource management. The basic principle of SBM is the government empowers the potency of local wisdom available in an area and make it as the principle of the coastal resource management. CBM can be seen in Awig-Awig Tradition in East Lombok and Sasi Tradition in Middle Maluku. Awig-Awig is a convention of East Lombok people. This convention becomes a written traditional law legalized by Village Regulation containing rules to regulate coastal resource management along with the sanction if it is broken. Awig-Awig is highly obeyed by East Lombok people that makes it suitable for empowering local people to manage their natural resources. Meanwhile, Sasi tradition on in Middle Maluku can be simply described as prohibition and license of catching fish in a certain period. As Awig-Awig in East Lombok, Sasi is also legalized by the traditional law and has sanction for those who break the law. These two traditions, Awig-Awig Tradition in East Lombok and Sasi Tradition di Middle Maluku, are both aimed at preserving the natural resources so that it can be the basic principle in Coastal Resources Community Based Management.
