The present text reconstructs the biographical profile of a Galician teacher and political leader, Antón Alonso Rios, focusing on five aspects which mark consecutive stages in his vital trajectory: the first, as an emigrant in Argentina, marked by his leadership among an important part of the Galician diaspora; the second, during the Spanish Republic (1931-1936), a stage defined by his political activity in Galicia with connections to the nationalist cause and the agrarian reform; the third, his experience as a «fugitive» as a consequence of the fascist repression to which he was subjected during the Civil War, and lastly, his banishment in Buenos Aires - until his death - where he provided presence and continuity to the Galician government in exile with the Consello de Galiza (Council of Galicia). We have consulted the myriad, diverse bibliography involving Galician emigration to America and the Francoist repression, including Galician and American press from the time;; the collection of the provincial Archive of the Diputación de Pontevedra (Council of Pontevedra); the Arquivo da Emigración (Emigration Archive) from the Consello da Cultura Gallega (Galician Culture Council) (Santiago de Compostela) and diverse corporate documentation from personal documents. ; El presente texto reconstruye el perfil biográfico de un profesor gallego y líder político, Antón Alonso Ríos, teniendo en cuenta cinco aspectos que señalan, a su vez, sucesivas etapas en su trayectoria vital: la primera, como emigrante en la Argentina, marcada por su liderazgo entre una parte importante de la diáspora gallega; la segunda, durante la República Española (1931-1936), etapa definida por su actividad política en Galicia con vinculaciones a la causa nacionalista y al movimiento agrarista; la tercera, su experiencia como «huido», consecuencia de la represión fascista a la que fue sometido durante la guerra civil; por último, el destierro en Buenos Aires hasta su muerte, dando presencia y continuidad al gobierno gallego en el exilio con el Consello de Galiza. Para ello se ha revisado diversa bibliografía relacionada con la emigración gallega a América y con la represión franquista en Galicia; se ha consultado prensa periódica gallega y americana de la época; se han revisado los fondos del Archivo provincial de la Diputación de Pontevedra, del Arquivo da Emigración del Consello da Cultura Galega (Santiago de Compostela) y se ha consultado diversa documentación societaria ubicada en archivos personales.

Demands to changes of instruction for mathematics classrooms are presented in standards promoted by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Illinois State Board of Education and other government reports creates a demand for teacher professional development to support teachers to adapt to these changes of instruction. The overall purpose of this study investigated characteristics of effective professional development and how those characteristics are associated with teacher job satisfaction and teacher working conditions. With the completion of this dissertation, this study adds to the literature relevant to teacher professional development by demonstrating an association between teacher professional development and teacher working conditions. This non-experimental quantitative study examined 23 lists of characteristics of professional development to provide designers of professional development programs the frequency that specific characteristics were mentioned on the 23 lists. Also, this study administered a Likert scale questionnaire to secondary mathematics teachers to measure the teachers' perception of the three variables: teacher professional development, teacher job satisfaction, and teacher working conditions. The completed questionnaires were used to calculate measures of the three variables and these measures were used to calculate Pearson correlation coefficients. Ultimately, tests of correlations were conducted with the Pearson correlation coefficients to measure the associations between the three variables. Four research questions relating to these associations were created that guided the details of this quantitative study. The results of the data analysis revealed a statistically significant association between teacher professional development and teacher working conditions. Also, the results of a second test of correlation revealed that the association between teacher professional development and teacher job satisfaction was not significant.

Salman Rushdie's 2012 memoir, Joseph Anton, marks a turning point in his career. While his earlier work celebrated "cultural translation" and the emergence of "newness" into the world, this book expresses reservations. "The arrival of the new was not always linked to progress", Rushdie writes, "Men found new ways of oppressing one another, too, new ways of unmaking their best achievements and sliding back towards that primal ooze; and men's darkest innovations, as much as their brightest ones, confused their fellow men". These "dark newnesses", as he calls them, "were innovations that came into being in the name of a totalizing ideology, an absolute ruler, an unarguable dogma, or a god". However, despite this turn towards a more binary worldview, the complexity of Rushdie's earlier writing refuses to be completely stifled, and this article argues that Joseph Anton is ultimately unable to persuasively follow through on its rhetoric of a world simplistically torn between newnesses "bright" and "dark". Although frequently relying on binary language, it is precisely the memoir's patent failure to convincingly represent the world in such starkly simplistic terms that, inadvertently, renders it valuable in foregrounding the nuances of post-9/11 identity politics that its author ostensibly seeks to deny.
