Muller Itis not often that a diverse set of organizationscan rightfully claim parentage of a publication with a gestation period ofa decade and a half. But such is the situation with this book. As officers of the National Councilon Foreign Language and International Studies, wewere pleased to preside over the project that produced these essays. Followinga key tenet in our activities, the National Council always worked in concert with otherorganizations to promote the internationalization of American education. In separateoverview chapters, editors Sven Groennings and David Wiley note the contributionsof the Council on Learning and the President's Commissionon Foreign Language and International Studies toward setting the stageon which the disciplinary associations were able to commission theessays that follow. The editors elucidate as well the curricular debates that occurredon campuses and in associations, in which the advocates of international educationsaw two alternatives: the addition of courses within each disciplineto specifically address international dimensions of the disciplineor the infusion of international content in key courses. The journals of the disciplinary associations reflect their members'corporate sense of important issues. If articles

The following were selected for their strong orientation in this direction: Gordon Allport, Andras Angyal, Kurt Goldstein, Prescott Lecky, Abraham Maslow, Bardner Murphy, and Carl Rogers. The four themes which emerged from an analysis of their writings are concerned with organization, motivation, process and potentiality. With three minor exceptions, the seven holistic theorists were virtually identical in their basic principles and thematic concerns. The four themes form a supportive structure for the development of a holistic theory of healthy personality and are offered as evidence that the selected theorists represent a shared orientation toward the development of the human personality. An analysis and subsequent synthesis of the seven individual theories is presented. Implications for the theory and practice of psychotherapy and education are cffered.(Author/CJ) 1-"Anal Report Project No, 8.-E -076 Grant No, OEG-5-9-325076-0004 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION & WELFARE OFFICE OF EDUCATION THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN REPRODUCED EXACTLY ASRECEIVED FROM THE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION ORIGINATING IT.

  • Thoughts on a Concept of Language Geography
    Jordan, P. Thoughts on a concept of language geography RHGT, Vol. XI, Issue 21-22, pp. 33-46 THOUGHTS ON A CONCEPT OF LANGUAGE GEOGRAPHY Peter JORDAN Austrian Academy of Sciences Institute of Urban and Regional Research, Postgasse 7/4/2, A-1010 Wien Email: [email protected] Abstract: It is the goal of this article to highlight the relationship between language and space from the geographical perspective. After a screening of the position of language in sciences and the involvement of geographers so far, selected spatial aspects of language are highlighted: languages as reflections of the spatial context of cultures, spatial spread and retreat of languages and the powers behind them, rise and fall of languages, the different relation of language functions (standard language, dialect, official language, military language, sacred language etc.) to space, the role of language for space-related identity, trade and educational languages and their processes of expansion and regression, the function of place names in relating man to space. Keywords: cultural geography, language, linguistics, conceptual thoughts, culture, space, language functions, space-related identity, place names 1. INTRODUCTION Language is a social phenomenon. As such, it has intrinsic space relation – if only because its speakers are spread over space. Besides, however, language is in many more ways related to space, which are rarely noted. In this paper, I want to highlight some important spatial aspects of language, and give in this way some reasons to consider, why geographers should not be more active in this field and establish a kind of language geography. 2.

    Report to UCL Octagon Small Grants Fund Sarah Gibbs 1 Conference: Rebel? Prophet? Relic? Perspectives on George Orwell in 2019 24-25 May 2019 University College London (UCL) Conference Programme Summary UCL’s first George Orwell conference, Rebel? Prophet? Relic? Perspectives on George Orwell in 2019, took place on May 24th and 25th. The event explored all aspects of the author’s oeuvre and presence in popular culture, from the continuing significance of his masterpiece, the political dystopia Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), to his relationship to the British Empire and mid-century Fascism. Panelists discussed his reception history in different parts of the world, and adaptations of his work in a variety of media. The speaker list was international, and truly interdisciplinary. Presenters, who were academics, theatre directors, video game designers, authors, journalists, and members of the Armed Forces, traveled Report to UCL Octagon Small Grants Fund Sarah Gibbs 2 from Australia, Canada, Iraq, the United States, China, Germany, Scotland, and all parts of England to participate. The conference brought together a number of Orwell-focused organizations and institutions: the Orwell Foundation, the Orwell Society, and UCL Special Collections, holder of the Orwell Archive. Approximately forty members of the public also joined the event. The support of the Octagon Small Grants Fund not only allowed scholars to participate in a conference dedicated to Orwell, very few of which exist, but also enabled the University to positively engage with the community and publicize its projects and collections. Twitter: @UCL_Orwell_2019; #UCLOrwell2019 Report In 1945, George Orwell wrote of war-time rumours that American troops had come to England to thwart a communist revolution: “One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that.

  • Marxism and Geography in the Anglophone World
    Essay Neil Smith Marxism and Geography in the Anglophone World In October 1997 an article appeared in the impeccably bourgeois magazine, the New Yorker, which championed Karl Marx as the “next new thinker”. Down on Wall Street, wrote John Cassidy, there is a new appreciation for Marx’s understanding of capitalism, and a sense that Marx anticipated brilliantly what so-called globalization was all about th (Cassidy 1997). The impending 150 anniversary of The Communist Manifesto intensified the clamour. As Marx and Engels famously wrote there, the bourgeoisie “creates a world after its own image”, and so with the dragon of international socialism apparently slain after 1989, despite local holdouts in Cuba and North Korea, and with Marx no longer the demon of capital, expectant young Wall Street financiers could embrace Marx’s vivid depiction of capitalism as a remarkably prescient portrait of the neo-liberal global order they themselves strove to create. Marx had brilliantly anticipated globalization, and Wall Street thought it was a good thing. But the “Marx boom” of 1997-98 quickly fizzled as capitalism itself turned sour. The Asian economic crisis exploded, Indonesia’s Suharto was overthrown in a deadly revolt, and the economic malaise spread to Brazil, Mexico and Russia. Marx, it seemed, still had a sting in his tail. Reading Das Kapital to understand how capitalism really worked was one thing. But the same Das Kapital also seemed to teach that economic depression was endemic to capitalism, the stock market was a giant swindle, the Asian economic crisis – rooted in overproduction in Thailand and generalized into the region’s currency and security markets – was a classic capitalist crisis, and that political struggle is equally endemic to capitalism.

  • Oregon Artswatch Going, Going, Gone
    FORT GANSEVOORT Going, going, gone: 2019 in review A look back at the ups and downs and curious side trips of the year on Oregon's cultural front December 31, 2019 What a year, right? End of the teens, start of the ’20s, and who knows if they’ll rattle or roar? But today we’re looking back, not ahead. Let’s start by getting the big bad news out of the way. One thing’s sure in Oregon arts and cultural circles: 2019’s the year the state’s once-fabled craft scene took another staggering punch square on the chin. The death rattles of the Oregon College of Art and Craft – chronicled deeply by ArtsWatch’s Barry Johnson in a barrage of news stories and analyses spiced with a couple of sharp commentaries, Democracy and the arts and How dead is OCAC? – were heard far and wide, and the college’s demise unleashed a flood of anger and lament. The crashing and burning of the venerable craft college early in the year followed the equally drawn-out and lamented closure of Portland’s nationally noted Museum of Contemporary Craft in 2016, leaving the state’s lively crafts scene without its two major institutions. In both cases the sense that irreversible decisions were being made with scant public input, let alone input from crafters themselves, left much of the craft community fuming. When, after the closure, ArtsWatch published a piece by the craft college’s former president, Denise Mullen, the fury hit the fan with an outpouring of outraged online comments, most by anonymous posters with obvious connections to the school.

Updates to Names, Titles, Affiliations received subsequently are not yet reflected in this document. Updated versions of the program integrating these updates will be uploaded to the site approximately every two weeks. The next update of the program will be made available online on July 31, 2019. All requests for revision of names, affiliations, or paper titles received by July 26, 2019 will be reflected in the subsequent version. Program Theme The theme of this year’s Annual Meeting is “Being, Belonging and Becoming in Africa.” While Africa is not and never has been homogenous or unitary, the existence of the ASA is predicated on the idea that there are things that distinguish “Africa” and “Africans” from other peoples and places in the world, and that those distinctions are worth studying. In a world increasingly preoccupied with tensions over localism, nationalism, and globalism, in which so many forms of essentialism are under existential attack (and fighting back), we hope that this theme will spark scholarly reflection on what it has meant and currently means for people, places, resources, ideas, knowledge, among others to be considered distinctly “African.” As scholars have grappled with the conceptual and material effects of globalization, the various disciplines of African Studies have also embraced transnational, international, and comparative approaches in recent decades.

McFarland 1901-1976 CONTENTS Preface vi Introduction vii Acknowledgements ix Catalog 1 Vidéocassettes ИЗ Journals 114 Technical Reports Series 117 Name Index 119 Subject Index 146 PREFACE The Ross A. McFarland Collection in Aerospace Medicine and Human Factors Engineering at the Fordham Health Sciences Library, Wright State University School of Medicine, provides an unparalleled scientific resource and data base for physicians, life scientists, engineers and others working at the leading edge of human progress, especially those in the areas of aviation, space and advanced ground transportation. The Collection is regularly consulted by those currently pioneering these fields and is an invaluable source of information constituting the base upon which future progress is being constructed. I met Dr. McFarland in 1958 and came to know him -well. I observed first-hand his pioneering concepts in human factors, enhanced immeasurably by his articulate communications. Starting in the 1930's, he almost singlehandedly launched the human factors effort in aviation, directly collecting data on airline pilot fatigue and other major operational flight safety aspects. Folio-wing Dr. McFarland's untimely death in 1976, an event -widely recognized as taking from us the father of aerospace human factors, his wife, Mrs. Emily McFarland, decided to deed his library and scientific papers to Wright State University School of Medicine, Fordham Health Sciences Library. This gift consisted of more than 6,000 print items and approximately 400 linear feet of scientific manuscripts, unpublished reports, research data and correspondence, covering 50 years of professional work and research by Dr.
