scholarly journals On What Autoethnography Did in a Study on Student Voice Pedagogies: A Mapping of Returns

In this paper, I invite you into some considerations of what autoethnography might do in research, what it might teach us as researchers. In doing so, I return to an autoethnographic study I engaged in a few years ago which was contoured through the question: How do teachers experience student voice pedagogies? In that study, I experienced autoethnography as a creative methodology that allowed me to go back to two experiences I had with youth, or student voice projects. The paper embodies a return to the autoethnographic study of my doctoral research, which itself was a return to the previously experienced student voice projects; a return that is being propelled by my new position as a professor, supervising students in the mappings of their research landscapes. Returning, thus, becomes a central motif that invites dwelling in the simultaneity of pastpresentfuture – wherein the present is the folding in of the past and the future through attuning to embodied ways of knowing, sensing, being, and doing -- disrupting colonial epistemological legacies of progress and linearity found in conventional and taken-for-granted research practices. I ask, what does it mean to go back, in efforts oriented towards a future (such as social justice)? What might it mean to conceptualize time differently within our research, teaching, and learning? I argue that autoethnography, when engaged through an active nomadism, opens space for learning about our research practices, ourselves as researchers and pedagogues, as well as deeper understandings of our research topics.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the ten years of the journal through a personal reflection. Design/methodology/approach – A review of the articles published in the last ten years. Findings – I argue that what has distinguished QROM in these ten years are two distinctive features: reflexivity on practices of qualitative research, and openness to the application of qualitative methods to unusual research topics. Originality/value – The main limit of the paper resides in the subjectivity of the person who has read the articles. Other readers may have different opinions and may have chosen different criteria.

Learning history is closely related with the life of humans in the past, at present, and in the future. Basically, history is a continuous dialogue between the past, the present, and the future. The purpose of this study is to integrate teaching and learning local history with national history (moment). The students are expected to know the local heroes who fought not only for their country but also in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. Local heroes have the good character which can adapted in students life. To explore the character values, this research used naturalistic method (natural setting), it is also known as qualitative approach. The result of observation and interviews show that the learners understand the character of heroic event of the struggle of people against colonialism. From this research it can be concluded that the cultivation of values of local history is closely related with the values of national history, which is very important to improve patriotism of the learners. Thus the development of the values derived from the view of life and the values found in local residence (region).Keywords: history, local, learning, character

Weed science has been and will continue to be an evolving discipline. The evolution and future of weed science will depend greatly on our visions of the future and our willingness to effect and implement change. Thus, the principal question we must ask ourselves is, what do we want weed science to be in the future? This paper, which is only one part of the symposium on the Future of Weed Science, will address the issues involved with teaching. This requires identification of future students and employers, their educational needs based on professional goals, and packaging and presenting the information. Most future agriculture undergraduates and weed science graduate students will need to be recruited, will have minimal background in agriculture, and will include more minorities and women than in the past. We will offer a more interdisciplinary and internationalized curriculum to future students. The curriculum will include traditional courses with greater emphasis on communication skills, business and economics, computer science, agricultural ethics, and interpersonal skills. Courses will be taught to future students by a regional teaching concept that uses electronic media. Teaching and learning about weed science in the future will be exciting, challenging, and unquestionably different from today.

This review of literature highlights the efforts teacher educators and researchers have made over the past 18 years to work toward social justice in secondary English language arts (ELA) preservice teacher (PT) education. Drawing on Dantley and Green’s framework for social justice leadership, we highlight the work that teacher educators have engaged in to support secondary ELA PTs in developing (a) indignation/anger for justice through exploring beliefs about students and themselves, (b) a prophetic and historical imagination through broadening understandings about teaching and learning, and (c) accountability to students and communities through university-to-classroom transitions. We close this article by drawing on this framework to honor what we, as a field, have accomplished while acknowledging the efforts that still need to be made in working toward justice in secondary ELA PT education and, ultimately, in the schools and communities in which our PTs teach.

Previous studies have presented a radical change in library and information science research topics in North America. This article investigates library and information science doctoral dissertations in China in terms of their topics and interdisciplinarity in the past 20 years. The results do not find a significant change in library and information science dissertation topics in China but reveal that the increase of library and information science doctoral research in the area of information science is attributed to an increase in admissions to Information Science majors compared to other majors (Library Science and Archive Studies). This study also shows that the academic background of library and information science doctoral advisors does not affect the interdisciplinarity of their students’ doctoral dissertations in China.

The authors reflect on the dire state of motor learning at the time of Brooks’s book and consider reasons why research was resurrected in the 1980s and flourished in the ensuing years. In so doing, they provide an overview of the various research topics that have been studied, discuss the influence of motor learning on other fields of study, and consider the future of motor learning research both within and outside the academic study of kinesiology.

This conclusion evaluates the prospects of the global reflex going forward. On one hand, some global voices have bolstered Christian Americanism. Westerners have used Christians from the Global South to maintain established views and practices, and populists have resisted cosmopolitan trends. On the other hand, declining Western church attendance, rapid growth in the Majority World, immigration patterns, and flourishing theological work from the East and South suggest persistent influence on a range of issues such as race, missiology, social justice, sexuality, and spirituality. If moderate wings—such as Christians of color, Majority World immigrants, and younger churchgoers—choose to identify as evangelical, they represent the future more than practitioners of Christian Americanism who wax nostalgic for the past. Whatever the case, this book calls for global narrations of evangelicalism that include nonwhite voices engaged in both mutuality and resistance.

In this article—which is based on my keynote presentation at the "Welcoming Encounters: Tourism Research in a Postdisciplinary Era" 2013 conference at the Institute of Ethnology, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland—I maintain that postdisciplinarity is a form of painstaking (in time and effort) inquiry that makes considered use of academic and nonacademic forms of knowing to trace the plural truths that apply in difficult-to-fathom globalizing/decolonizing/postcolonial settings. In this article, I suggest that open-to-the-future postdisciplinary styles of research are critically valuable where a range or multiplicity of interpretive cultural/cosmological outlooks on the world has been poorly understood, and where important longstanding or emergent en groupe perspectives have been ignored or subjugated by governing powers/agencies. In suggesting that those who work in tourism scenarios regularly have to deal with such difficult contestations of value across the globe—where the poesis or the fantasmatics of local/contesting populations are decidedly different—I draw particularly on Gilroy's work on "diaspora" and on Bhabha's thinking on "emergent/hybrid locations of culture" to highlight the sorts of difficult-to-read ambivalent/protean/transgressive identifications that are readily the stuff of postdisciplinary inquiry. The article closes with the recognition that today, postdisciplinary investigators can harness much from the recent liberation in "social justice research practices" that Denzin and Lincoln (and their myriad of diverse critico-interpretive/qualitative researchers) have advocated, notably the advances in "bricoleurship" recently conceptualized by Kincheloe.

Историк тем любезен человечеству, что спасает от безызвестности имена и события, сохраняет прошлое для будущего. Но особая «каста» среди историков – архивисты, люди, посвятившие всю свою жизнь работе в архивах. Склоняясь над грудами документов, историк-архивист выбирает из них самое ценное, чтобы сообщить о нём миру. Иногда такие сообщения способны перевернуть мир, иногда могут наделать шуму в научном мире, а иногда – дополнить уже известный нам портрет человека новыми чертами или неожиданными поступками. Протоиерей Виктор Лисюнин, успешно защитивший диссертацию 14 ноября 2019 г., относится к числу указанных тружеников-архивистов. На протяжении нескольких лет он упорно отыскивал и бережно собирал документальные свидетельства о служении святителя Луки (Войно-Ясенецкого) в Тамбовской епархии. Результатом стало кандидатское исследование, повествующее о разных аспектах церковной жизни под управлением святителя в конце 40-х гг. прошлого века на Тамбовской земле. The historian is so kind to humanity that he saves names and events from obscurity, preserving the past for the future. But a special "caste" among historians are archivists, people who have devoted their entire lives to work in archives. Bending over piles of documents, the historian-archivist selects the most precious of them in order to communicate them to the world. Sometimes such reports can turn the world upside down, sometimes they can make a splash in the academic world, and sometimes they can add new features or unexpected actions to the portrait of a person we already know. Archpriest Victor Lisiunin, who successfully defended his dissertation on 14 November 2019, is among these hard-working archivists. For several years he has persistently sought out and carefully collected documentary evidence about the ministry of St Luke (Vojno-Jasenetsky) in the Tambov diocese. The result was a doctoral research, telling about various aspects of church life under the saint's rule in the late 40s of the last century in the Tambov land.
