  • Biology Has Been Taught at Bristol – As Botany and Zoology – Since Before the University Was Founded in 1909
    Biology has been taught at Bristol – as Botany and Zoology – since before the University was founded in 1909. Bristol has made significant contributions to many fields, from animal cognition and medicinal plants to entomology, evolutionary Game Theory and bird flight – and the BBC Natural History Unit's proximity to the University has led to television careers for a number of graduates! In 1876, University College, the precursor to the University, appointed Dr. Frederick Adolph Leipner as Lecturer in Botany, Zoology and, amusingly, German. Leipner had trained at the Bristol Medical School, but taught botany and natural philosophy, later combining this with teaching in Vegetable Physiology at the Medical School. He became Professor of Botany in 1884 and was a founding member of the Bristol Naturalists' Society, becoming its President in 1893. Bristol today is proud of its interdisciplinary strengths and, among others, offers Joint Honours Degrees in Geology and Biology, and in Psychology and Zoology. A portent of these modern links is seen in one of the University's most notable early appointments, Conwy Lloyd Morgan, appointed as Professor of Zoology and Geology in 1884 and then – somehow fitting in service as Vice- Chancellor – becoming the first Chair in Psychology (and Ethics). Lloyd Morgan is most famous as a pioneer of the study of comparative animal cognition. He was a highly influential figure for the North American Behaviourist movement: “Lloyd Morgan's cannon” is a comparative psychologist's version of Occam's Razor whereby no behaviour should be ascribed to more complex cognitive mechanisms than strictly necessary. He was the first Fellow of the Royal Society to be elected for psychological work.

  • Beyond Wildlife: Teaching About Africa and Stereotypes
    Social Studies and the Young Learner 20 (4), pp. 12–17 ©2008 National Council for the Social Studies Beyond Wildlife: Teaching about Africa and Stereotypes Barbara B. Brown and Alicia Carroll Bring primary sources and authentic images into the classroom when you are teaching about Africa and Africans. Here are some recommendations and lesson plans to help you do that. : Samuel Gervais I D African Perspectives C Reading a book by a Nigerian author or responding to an DA/A CI e-mail message posted by a boy from Zomba, Malawi, can © make the everyday lives of Africans—at home, at school, in their community—vivid and real for your students. Too often, students hear broad generalizations about Africa as though it were a country, not a continent with over 50 nations with different histories, societies, and landscapes. And too often, Africans are viewed only as recipients of American aid and not as creators of their own lives. Listening to people from across the continent helps students develop open-mindedness and appreciation for the complex- ity of other cultures. For example, it was a Kenyan woman, Wangari Maathai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her contribution to sustainable development and peace.1 Visual Images and Thinking Strategies Students need to broaden their images of Africa to combat media stereotypes and tourist websites. Each nation has its own diversity of lifestyles, range in socio-economic levels, mix of economic activity, and set of differences between rural areas and big cities. Photographs from a sampling of regions can demonstrate the wide variety of climate and landforms (from deserts and grasslands, to the Rift Valley and snow covered mountains).

  • Real Life Locations That Inspired the Lion King Rekero
    The real landscapes that inspired the Lion King – and 10 amazing ways to see them 2019/08/04, 18*46 Telegraph Travel’s safari expert Brian Jackman on the Kenyan plains which inspired Disney’s writers, his own fascinating lion encounters, and ten of the best lodges in Africa to have yours Why should lions have held the world in thrall since the dawn of history? As long ago as the seventh century BC, the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal had his royal palace at Nineveh decorated with magnificent bas-reliefs of lion-hunting scenes. In Ancient Rome, the walls of the Colosseum resonated to the roars of lions as gladiators fought to the death with the king of beasts. Closer to our own time, Sir Edwin Landseer’s four bronze lions were set to guard the statue of Nelson, the nation’s hero in Trafalgar Square, and even in my lifetime I have watched spear-carrying Maasai warriors loping over the savannah to prove their manhood on a ceremonial lion hunt. Celebrated in literature by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Karen Blixen, lions have maintained their enduring hold on the national psyche, appearing on the shirts of the England football team and even entering our living rooms thanks to the popularity of TV wildlife documentaries such as The Big Cat Diary and Sir David Attenborough’s Dynasties series. But not since Born Free, Joy Adamson’s true-life saga of Elsa – the lioness she raised and returned to the wild – has anything gripped the public imagination like The Lion King.
