    COLD SPRING HARBOR CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 October 9, 2018 Cold Spring Harbor Central School District The 2017-2018 school year was one in which we created a variety of new learning experiences for our students, all behind the efforts of Cold Spring Harbor teachers and leaders to prepare them for the future. Following the vision driving the district’s board of education goals, all teachers and leaders continued to build an awareness of the Next Generation Learning Standards through a diverse professional development workshops offered by staff developers from around the country and members of the Cold Spring Harbor faculty. Professional development occurred in numerous content areas such as English Language Arts, math, social studies, science, and technology. Teachers also received professional learning in the revised New York State Standards for the Arts. These efforts continue to support many goals including the district’s work in building authentic research experiences for all students in kindergarten through graduation. In addition, our Science Research Program continued to flourish and its expansion provided students with practical experiences and even an opportunity to highlight their work at the Science Research Symposium at the high school, a true example of providing students with opportunities to share high level research with their peers and the community. While there are many highlights to the school year in relation to the district’s goals in the area of technology, the Creative Learning Labs assembled at the two elementary buildings provided students, teachers, and even parents the chance to experience a truly redefined classroom. Designed by teachers and leaders, these state-of-the-art spaces outfitted with flexible furniture, afforded students with the ability to experience enhanced and differentiated learning environments.

Dissertation Advisor: Michèle Lamont Author: Nina Gheihman Veganized: How Cultural Entrepreneurs Mainstreamed a Movement Abstract In the last few years, veganism transformed from a marginalized animal rights movement into a mainstream lifestyle. This shift occurred through the promotional work of change agents called cultural entrepreneurs. Drawing on over 150 interviews with these movement leaders, I describe three archetypes that emerged inductively from the analysis: Icons (image entrepreneurs), Informers (knowledge entrepreneurs), and Innovators (market entrepreneurs). Collectively, cultural entrepreneurs sacrifice ideological purity in pursuit of popularity. However, they are both enabled and constrained by the national contexts in which they are embedded. I compare the United States with two “shadow cases” that represent barriers to (France) and openings for (Israel) cultural diffusion.

  • Animal Morality: What It Means and Why It Matters
    The Journal of Ethics https://doi.org/10.1007/s10892-018-9275-3 Animal Morality: What It Means and Why It Matters Susana Monsó1 · Judith Benz‑Schwarzburg1 · Annika Bremhorst2,3 Received: 10 April 2018 / Accepted: 24 September 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract It has been argued that some animals are moral subjects, that is, beings who are capable of behaving on the basis of moral motivations (Rowlands 2011, 2012, 2017). In this paper, we do not challenge this claim. Instead, we presuppose its plausibility in order to explore what ethical consequences follow from it. Using the capabilities approach (Nussbaum 2004, 2007), we argue that beings who are moral subjects are entitled to enjoy positive opportunities for the fourishing of their moral capabili- ties, and that the thwarting of these capabilities entails a harm that cannot be fully explained in terms of hedonistic welfare. We explore the implications of this idea for the assessment of current practices involving animals. Keywords Nonhuman animals · Animal ethics · Animal morality · Moral emotions · Capabilities approach · Welfarism · Harm Introduction Rowlands (2011, 2012, 2017) has recently argued that some nonhuman animals (hereafter ‘animals’) may be moral creatures, understood as creatures who can behave on the basis of moral motivations. He has argued that, while animals prob- ably lack the sorts of concepts and metacognitive capacities necessary to be held morally responsible for their behaviour, this only excludes them from the possibility of counting as moral agents.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 p 6952. xc3/ ; ^ 6^ 7 ^ ABSTRACT Many factors have inhibited the consolidation of relations between countries of the post-colonial world, the "South". This dissertation aims to explore some of these factors through focusing on a case study of the relations between South Africa and its neighbours across the South Atlantic. Despite naval and commercial hegemony of the British Empire in the South Atlantic region during the nineteenth century, trade proved minimal and South Africa played a limited role in assisting the indictment of the transatlantic slave trade. It was only during the Boer War (1899-1902) that South Africa became the destination of Argentine exports in large measure: frozen beef to meet the needs of British troops.

MARK ROWLANDS (UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI) 2 Para Mavi y Cote. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is the result of four years of hard work, during which I have received help from a great number of individuals. There are three people in particular, however, without whom this dissertation would not have existed as such, and I must begin by thanking them. My first big thank you goes to my advisor, Jesús Zamora, who gave me the opportunity to be a part of his team at UNED and the freedom to pursue this somewhat unorthodox research topic. I am very grateful for his support, his trust in me, and his perpetual good humour. My second big thank you goes to David Teira, Head of the Department of Logic, History, and Philosophy of Science at UNED, who gave me all the strategic and bureaucratic advice that I needed, pushed me to be more ambitious from the very first day, and took great care of me even though I was never his direct responsibility. My last big (immense, gigantic) thank you goes to my external co-advisor, Mark Rowlands, who took on the task of supervising my work out of pure altruism. It’s hard to imagine how I could have made it without his thoughtful guidance, his many words of encouragement, and his sincere belief in my project.
