From “Please Mr. Gravedigger,” the theatrical closing number on his 1967 self-titled debut album, to virtually every track on his final record nearly 50 years later, the protean musician mused perpetually on all matters of mortality: the loss of loved ones (“Jump They Say,” about his brother’s suicide), the apocalyptic end of the world (“Five Years”), his own impending passing.

Most broadly, the papers and critiques are concerned with how psychology could beused to improve: (1) socialization;(2) curriculum development; (3) teaching; and (4) guidance. Some attention is also given to the total functioning of schools, especially organizational change and the community base. Papers deal variously with:(1) an interactional view of learning wnich weds Dewey and Piaget; (2) the new view intelligence as a gradually accumulated fund of skills i, -tion with social experience;(3) the role of school psycholoy'qf 4S teacher advisers; (4) current brain research and its relaLlonship to the problems of education; and (5) the lack of a productive theory of change process. A dissatisfaction with the current schooling process pervades the proceedings. Alternatives and innovations are suggested.

  • Persona, Narrative, and Late Style in the Mourning of David Bowie on Reddit
    Persona Studies 2020, vol. 6, no. 1 THE BLACKSTAR: PERSONA, NARRATIVE, AND LATE STYLE IN THE MOURNING OF DAVID BOWIE ON REDDIT SAMIRAN CULBERT NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT This article considers how David Bowie’s last persona, The Blackstar, framed his death through the narratives of mourning it provoked on the social media site Reddit. The official media narratives of death and the unofficial fan narratives of death can contradict each other, with fans usually bringing their own lived experiences to the mourning process. David Bowie is a performer of personas. While Bowie died in 2016, his personas have continued to live on, informing his legacy, his work, and his death reception. Through the concepts of persona, narrative, authenticity, late style, and mourning, this article finds that Bowie’s Blackstar persona actively constructs fan’s interaction with Bowie’s death. Instead of separate and contradicting narratives, this article finds that users on Reddit underpin and extend the media narrative of his death, using Bowie’s persona as a way to construct and establish their own mourning. As such, Bowie’s last persona is further entrenched as one of authentic mourning, of a genius constructing his own passing. With these narratives, fans construct their own personas, informing how they too would like to die: artistically and with grace. KEY WORDS Persona; Mourning; David Bowie; Late Style; Narrative; Reddit INTRODUCTION The Blackstar persona presented by Bowie in his last album and singles helped structure his fans’ mourning process. These last acts of artistry offered fans something to attach their mourning onto, allowing for them to work through their own mourning via Bowie’s presentation of his own death.

  • Basic Information Biden Was Born on November 20, 1942 (77)
    1 ● Basic information12 ○ Biden was born on November 20, 1942 (77), in Scranton, Pennsylvania. ○ In 1953, The Bidens moved to Claymont, Delaware, and then eventually to Wilmington, Delaware. ○ Biden earned his bachelor’s degree in 1965 from the University of Delaware, with a double major in history and political science. ○ Biden graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968 and was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969. ■ During his first year at Syracuse, Biden was accused of plagiarizing five of fifteen pages of a law review article. As a result, he failed the course and had to retake it. The plagiarism incident has resurfaced during various political campaigns. ● Early political career3 ○ After graduating from law school, Biden began practicing law as a public defender and then for a firm headed by Sid Balick, a locally active Democrat. Biden would go on to officially register as a Democrat at this time. ○ At the end of 1969, Biden ran to represent the 4th district on the New Castle County Council, a usually Republican district. ■ He served on the County Council from 1970 to 1972, while continuing his private law practice. ● 1972 US Senate campaign ○ In 1972, longtime Delaware political figure and Republican incumbent Senator J. Caleb Boggs was considering retirement, which would likely have left US Representative Pete du Pont and Wilmington Mayor Harry G. Haskell Jr. in a divisive primary fight. ■ To avoid that, President Nixon convinced Boggs to run again with full party support which kept several known Democrats out of the race. ○ Biden’s grassroots campaigned, managed by his sister Valerie Biden Owens, focused on withdrawals from Vietnam, the environment, civil rights, mass transit, more equitable taxation, and health care.
