The Anthropocene has emerged in philosophy and social science as a geologic condition with radical consequence for humankind, and thus, for the social institutions that support it, such as higher education. This essay introduces the special issue by outlining some of the possibilities made available for social/philosophical research about higher education when the Anthropocene is taken seriously as an analytic tool. We provide a patchwork of discussions that attempt to sketch out different ways to consider the Anthropocene as both context and concept for the study of higher education. We conclude the essay with brief introductory remarks about the articles collected for this special issue dedicated to “The Anthropocene and Higher Education.”

Resumo: Como parte do dossiê “Antropologias do Trabalho: Desafios Latino-Americanos”, apresentamos a entrevista realizada com o professor da UFPR, Jaime dos Santos Junior que, refletindo sobre sua trajetória biográfica e acadêmica, ressalta a importância de uma Ciência Social atenta às “zonas cinzentas” dos mundos do trabalho, convidando a um olhar para os interstícios e os não-ditos. Suas pesquisas sobre trabalhadores do corte de cana em Sergipe, sobre operários migrantes no ABC paulista ou, ainda, memórias operárias relacionados à ciclos de greves em Pernambuco e São Paulo – realizadas sempre em interlocução com uma rede de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores – destacam a importância do estudo do cotidiano. A interpretação do cotidiano, no trajeto intelectual de Jaime, sugere uma atenção sociológica complexa para as resistências, as configurações familiares, os movimentos sociais, relações patronais, entre outros fenômenos. A narrativa do entrevistado enfatiza um esforço de propor uma sociologia do trabalho “que não quer ser apenas uma sociologia da denúncia.”Palavras-chave: Antropologia do Trabalho; Trajetória Intelectual; Setor Sucroalcooleiro; Memória Operária  THE FORGOTTEN DIMENSION OF WORK:INTERVIEW WITH JAIME SANTOS JÚNIORAbstract: As part of the special issue “Anthropologies of Work: Latin-American challenges” we present the interview with professor Jaime Santos Junior of Federal University of Paraná. He speaks about his intellectual and biographical trajectory highlighting the importance of a social science who looks to the “grey areas” of the worlds of work: the unspoken and the interstitial. His researches about cane workers in Sergipe, migrant workers in “ABC Paulista”, or even worker’s memories of strikes cycles in Pernambuco and São Paulo evidence the importance of study the quotidian. The interpretations of the ordinary life in the intellectual path of professor Jaime suggest a complex sociological attention to resistances, family settings, social movements, employer relations and other phenomena. The interviewee’s narrative emphasizes and effort of propose a sociology of work that “don’t want to be just a sociology of denunciation”.Keywords: Anthropology of Work. Intellectual Trajectory.

Preregistration and registered reports are two promising open science practices for increasing transparency in the scientific process. In particular, they create transparency around one of the most consequential distinctions in research design: the data analytics decisions made before data collection and post-hoc decisions made afterwards. Preregistration involves publishing a time-stamped record of a study design before data collection or analysis. Registered reports are a publishing approach that facilitates the evaluation of research without regard for the direction or magnitude of findings. In this paper, I evaluate opportunities and challenges for these open science methods, offer initial guidelines for their use, explore relevant tensions around new practices, and illustrate examples from educational psychology and social science. This paper was accepted for publication in Educational Psychologist volume 56, issue 2; scheduled for April 2021, as a part of a special issue titled, “Educational psychology in the open science era.”This preprint has been peer reviewed, but not copy edited by the journal and may differ from the final published version. The DOI of the final published version is: [insert preprint DOI number]. Once the article is published online, it will be available at the following permanent link: [insert doi link]

AbstractWaste studies brings to labor history a suite of conceptual tools to think about precarious labor, human capital, migration, the material quality of labor in urban and rural infrastructures, and the porosity and interchangeability of workers’ bodies in the toxic environments in which they labor. In this introduction, we explore the conceptual insights that the study of waste offers for the field of labor history, and what, in turn, a focus on labor history affords to social science research on waste. We examine the relationship between surplus populations and surplus materials, the location of waste work at the ambiguous fulcrum of trash and value, and the significance of labor for the understanding of infrastructure.
