On the Strategies of Strengthening the Construction of Campus Culture in Colleges and Universities from the Perspective of the New Era

At present, our country has entered a new stage of development. In the context of rapid economic development, people have increasingly realized the importance of cultural construction to social development. As a base for training talents, colleges and universities must fully realize the importance of school culture construction, and combine their own advantages and characteristics to explore effective ways of campus culture construction. Colleges and universities should guide students to establish a correct outlook on life and values, strengthen students’ ideological and moral education, promote the construction of a harmonious campus, and promote the connotative development of the school. This article first analyzes the significance of the construction of campus culture in colleges and universities in the new era, and discusses the strategy of constructing campus culture in colleges and universities, hoping to provide some reference for the comprehensive development of college campus culture construction.

Hackathons and Libraries

Libraries foster a thriving campus culture and function as “third space,” not directly tied to a discipline.[i] Libraries support both formal and informal learning, have multipurpose spaces, and serve as a connection point for their communities. For these reasons, they are an ideal location for events, such as hackathons, that align with library priorities of outreach, data and information literacy, and engagement focused on social good. Hackathon planners could find likely partners in either academic or public libraries as their physical spaces accommodate public outreach events and many are already providing similar services, such as makerspaces. Libraries can act solely as a host for events or they can embed in the planning process by building community partnerships, developing themes for the event, or harnessing the expertise already present in the library staff. This article, focusing on years from 2014 to 2020, will highlight the history and evolution of hackathons in libraries as outreach events and as a focus for using library materials, data, workflows, and content.

Gender Stereotyping and Inequality Behind the Slogans: A Case Study in Chinese Tertiary Education

The increasing number of female students in China has contributed to reducing the gender gaps in tertiary education over the past decades; however, the debate about gender inequality in tertiary education is ongoing. This study examines how the slogans on the banners for Girls’ Day celebrations from 2018–2020 on university campuses in mainland China convey male students’ willingness to provide help and support for the perceived academic issues faced by female college students, while surreptitiously conveying gender stereotyping and intelligence quotient (IQ) prejudice in the current university campus culture. These slogans occupy a prominent position on campus and help to evaluate the perceptions of both male and female college students regarding these issues. Data were gathered from semi-structured interviews with 16 undergraduate students at two universities. The analysis revealed that female IQ bias based on gender stereotyping is an enduring issue, which has been unintentionally inherited from previous generations of Chinese college students. The article reveals that despite the increased number of female college students, “benevolent discrimination” against women still exists in various forms in the campus culture and gender roles have not transformed much. The findings of this study can inform future gender education, orienting its effort towards a clearly identified niche of users.

Degrading Bodies in Pandemic Times: Politicizing Cruelty During the COVID-19 and Obesity Crises

Mass communications frame fatness and COVID-19 as a dual threat. This discourse furthers well-established tendencies to degrade bodies labelled overweight or obese, positioning them as deficient and requiring correction. Empirically, this article draws from an online US right-wing news media platform, Campus Reform, including readers’ comments (n = 135) on an article denouncing professors working in fat studies during the COVID-19 lockdown. This status degradation ceremony—backed by ‘big money’ that funds campus culture wars—not only targeted fat people but also academic disciplines, expertise, universities and social justice agenda. Analytically, this study draws from ethnomethodology and literature on media and bodyweight, meddling or health fascism, weaponized stigma and the politics of cruelty. Going beyond the flesh and a particular case study, it also challenges the ways in which cruelty enacted towards those deemed fat (especially women) can spiral into corrosive nationalist discourse in pandemic times.

Transferring School Education to Goodness Education: Discussion on the Construction and Implementation of Campus Culture in Primary School

Schools are being considered as the pioneer to carry out the mission of education. The development and implementation of campus culture decide whether the school can undertake this task and foster virtue through education. However, the development of campus culture cannot be established in a short time. Instead, it penetrates the long-time practice of running a school. From the practical perspective, this paper will discuss the way that goodness culture benefits school-running by exploring the connotation of the culture. The school can plan and express the goodness to develop its campus culture, especially in the campus design, the implementation of courses, the construction of teaching groups, and the follow-up of feedback. In this way, the school can contain the goodness in its campus culture to achieve the goal that educates students through good virtue.

Plan Scientific Design, Develop Research Curriculum, Highlight Value Orientation: Elements of Self-Redemption of Rural Schools

The basis of rural revitalization is education. How to keep up the pace of rural revitalization strategies, so as to promote qualified development is a significant question. This paper explored the elements to solve this question. Firstly, schools can realize the integral moving, redevelop campus culture through renaming, run school through chain management, focus on construction insufficient, foster collaborative development. By moving to a new area, schools will change their name to become a chain so that they can r and integrate with the schools in Hangzhou and Shanghai. Secondly, schools can set up a rural curriculum system by integrating resources, constructing proper research, and implementing theme research and development courses. Thirdly, schools need to highlight the orientation of center value through disseminating mainstream core values, shaping local culture characters, and setting pioneer stations of rural revitalization.

Research on the Humanization of Teaching Management in Normal University

There are many problems in the humanized teaching management of normal universities. For example, students do not actively participate in the management and planning of their own university and career, teachers pay too much attention to traditional authority and have a sense of distance from students, the bureaucracy of the management department is serious, and management thinking is backward. The management process does not reflect the humanistic feelings, the teaching plans and teaching evaluation methods formulated by the school remain unchanged, the school’s teaching resources are unevenly distributed, and the campus culture construction lacks the humanistic spirit. In response to these current conditions, the author puts forward relevant suggestions from four aspects: students, teachers, schools, and management personnel. I hope that as a member of the school and participants in the construction of humanized teaching management, they can actively perform their own responsibilities and clarify their own positioning. In the end, it is hoped that the school’s teaching management can be people-oriented and enhance the school’s cohesion and centripetal force.
