  • Download the Programme for the Winter Gathering
    January 2010 Nottingham Organised in cooperation with Nottingham Student Peace Movement and Notts Anti-Militarism Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone St NG7 6HX Peace News, established in June 1936, is Britain’s oldest peace publication, appearing ten times a year. Co-edited by Emily Johns and Milan Rai, PN reports anti-war news, dissects official propaganda and hosts debates on issues of concern to anti-militarists and others using nonviolence to achieve social change. Peace News opposes the brutal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - and throughout the world - and the retention and renewal of nuclear weapons in the shape of Trident. But these are only the most extreme forms of the violence which is inherent in our society. This violence manifests also as sexism, racism, homophobia, hunger, inequality, corporate domination, government repression and the exploitation of people, animals and the environment. Peace News seeks to oppose all forms of violence, and to create positive change based on co-operation and responsibility. To create a nonviolent world, we believe we must avoid violence in our struggle for change. Peace News draws on the traditions of pacifism, feminism, anarchism, socialism, human rights, animal rights, and green politics - without dogma, but in the spirit of openness. Britain’s entire arrogant and aggressive foreign policy is unpopular among British people. In March 2007, a Telegraph poll asked whether people agreed with this statement: “Some people say that, although Britain is now only a middle-ranking power, Britain should as a nation continue to try to ‘punch above its weight’ – that is, have more influence in the world than our military and economic strength would seem to indicate.” 55% said no, Britain should not “punch above its weight”.

    An Exploration of what Grade 7 Natural Science Teachers Know, Believe and Say About Biodiversity and the Teaching of Biodiversity A half-thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of MASTERS IN EDUCATION (Environmental Education) at RHODES UNIVERSITY by Dorelle Isaacs g13i6297 Supervised by Dr Lausanne Olvitt February 2016 i ABSTRACT In the context of the newly implemented Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) for Natural Science, this study explores what Grade 7 Natural Science teachers know, believe and say about biodiversity and the teaching of biodiversity. Despite its significance to environmental sustainability, biodiversity loss is accelerating in South Africa and internationally, driven by unsustainable economic development models, population growth and associated problems of habitat loss and widespread pollution. Against the backdrop of these challenges, this study shares insights into how teachers’ biodiversity knowledge relates to the CAPS and to international agreements and policies on biodiversity. The study seeks to inform teacher education and support programmes and future curriculum implementation decisions, especially those associated with the Fundisa for Change programme. The study is designed as a qualitative case study inquiry that has used classroom observation, semi- structured interviews and document (textbook) analysis to generate data. Theories of teacher cognition (after Shulman, 1987) were used to gain an understanding of teachers’ biodiversity knowledge. Different environmental and biodiversity metaphors and narratives were reviewed to gain an understanding of how teachers represented biodiversity and Kronlid & Öhman’s work on environmental ethics (2012) provided a framework for considering teachers’ values and ethical responses to biodiversity. The study found that the biodiversity knowledge of the teachers in these three case studies was mostly limited to what they access in the curriculum and textbooks.
