COLLEGE STUDENTS TODAY OFTEN LACK BASIC ACADEMIC SKILLS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE SKILLS IS CLOSELY & INEXTRICABLY INTERWOVEN WITH TEACHING AN ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE, & EVERY COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR MUST COMBINE TEACHING HIS/HER DISCPLINE WITH WORK ON THESE SKILLS, INCLUDING WORK WITH STUDENT PAPERS. VARIETY OF TEACHING TECHNIQUES ARE DESCRIBED TO SHOW HOW AUTHORS DOES THIS IN TWO POLITICAL SCIENCE COURSES.

Despite increasing interest in recent years, disability remains a neglected area of study within mainstream political science. Beginning with a brief overview of the ways that disability studies scholars have defined disability, I address the issues that have arisen in trying to measure disability as well as the limits and possibilities that follow from thinking of people with disabilities as a minority group with defined political beliefs and interests. To the extent that much of the work on disability in political science looks to the research on gender, race, ethnicity, and class as a touchstone, I consider the lessons that might be drawn from this work both as it relates to disability as a social category and regarding efforts to conceive of disability and ability in more structural and ideological terms. Turning to the literature on disability in political theory, I examine the ways that disability has been deployed to reveal the ableist assumptions that pervade canonical and more contemporary texts. I conclude by highlighting avenues for future research, including whether it is possible—or, indeed, desirable—to move beyond the civil rights and identity-based frameworks that have so defined disability politics and organizing.

A symposium comment reflecting on the debate between political scientists & political theorists. The debate is analogous to an older one between political scientists & economists. If economists now actively engage in government policy planning & formation, might political knowledge yet have a vital public role to play, eg, in countering popular indifference & fostering incentive not just to vote, but to vote judiciously? Yet prescriptions for political scientists would be counterproductive. Upholding pluralism in the field itself seems a reasonable goal. 10 References. K. Coddon

The sentience and suffering of animals is obvious to common sense, even if science and industry claim to be agnostic. Economic incentives to reduce the suffering of animals are welcome, but it is not clear whether animals can turn to science for help.

Open Science is enjoying great popularity at the moment. The European Union has recently adopted the term Open Science in its research framework programme. However, at the same time being mainstreamed into policy and administration it runs the risk of remaining empty rhetoric. The article examines terminological and actual realms of Open Science. It aims to identify gaps in the current discourse on one hand, and on the other to draw upon the potential of Open Science practices and its precursors. Situating Open Science in a broader picture of cultures of sharing helps to understand its promising role as change maker in traditional academic settings if necessary appreciation, skills and infrastructures are developed timely.

"Science as Psychology reveals the complexity and richness of rationality by demonstrating how social relationships, emotion, culture, and identity are implicated in the problem-solving practices of laboratory scientists. In this study, the authors gather and analyze interview and observational data from innovation-focused laboratories in the engineering sciences to show how the complex practices of laboratory research scientists provide rich psychological insights, and how a better understanding of science practice facilitates understanding of human beings more generally. The study focuses not on dismantling the rational core of scientific practice, but on illustrating how social, personal, and cognitive processes are intricately woven together in scientific thinking. The authors argue that this characterization illustrates a way of addressing the integration problem in science studies - how to characterize the fluid entanglements of cognitive, affective, material, cultural, and other dimensions of discovery and problem solving. Drawing on George Kelly's "person as scientist" metaphor, the authors extend the implications of this analysis to general psychology. The book is thus a contribution to science studies, the psychology of science, and general psychology"--Provided by publisher

Die Vielfalt der Frauenbilder in der utopischen Literatur wird erläutert und kritisch kommentiert. Als herrschendes Frauenbild wird die derzeitige Wirklichkeit der amerikanischen Mittelklasse-Familie festgestellt; dabei wird die existierende Arbeits- und Rollenteilung zwischen den Geschlechtern in die weite Zukunft fortgeschrieben. Für die triviale Science-fiction wird eine Rückkehr in vergangene Zeiten herausgearbeitet, in der die Rollenverteilung antiquierten Mustern und Klischees entspricht, d. h. z. B., daß Frauen wichtig sein können als Preis oder Motiv, daß aktive Frauen immer böse erscheinen und daß sie passiv dargestellt werden. In der neueren Science-fiction finden sich teilweise gleichberechtigte Strukturen, es werden aber wichtige Bereiche der Arbeitsteilung ausgeklammert (z. B. Kindererziehung in der Familie); kuriose Gleichheitsformen sind ebenso vertreten wie die Konturen eines Matriarchats, in dem die Frauen überlegen sind. Für die von Frauen selbst verfaßte utopische Literatur wird nachgewiesen, daß ihre Frauenbilder aktivere und lebhaftere weibliche Charaktere zeichnen als die in den von Männern geschriebenen Texten.

This set describes a broad range of approaches that challenge scientism for its lack of sensitivity to meanings, subjectivity and historical context. It brings together a selection of writings that encompass theory and methods as well as policy and practice
