  • A Meditation on Boredom
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UEL Research Repository at University of East London Running head: A MEDITATION ON BOREDOM A meditation on boredom: Re-appraising its value through introspective phenomenology Dr. Tim Lomas, University of East London, School of Psychology, [email protected] Note: This article may not exactly replicate the final version published in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law. It is not the copy of record. 2 Running head: A MEDITATION ON BOREDOM Abstract Boredom is almost universally regarded as a dysphoric mental state, characterised by features such as disengagement and low arousal. However, in certain quarters (e.g., Zen Buddhism), boredom is seen as potentially having great value and even importance. The current study sought to explore boredom through a case study involving introspective phenomenology. The author created conditions in which he would experience boredom for an hour, and recorded his experience in real-time using a variant of the Experiencing Sampling Method. The data were analysed using an adaptation of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The results indicated that the state of boredom contained three main sources of value: (a) altered perception of time; (b) awakened curiosity about the environment; and (c) exploration of self. Consequently, the paper offers a re-appraisal of boredom, suggesting that rather than necessarily being a negative state, if engaged with, boredom has the potential to be a positive and rewarding experience. Keywords: boredom; meditation; phenomenology; introspection; wellbeing. 3 Running head: A MEDITATION ON BOREDOM The problem of boredom Boredom is almost universally regarded as a negative mental state.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jessica Anderson for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on October 28, 2016. Title: What Says Your Heart: Community, Learning, and Education in a Nahua Indigenous Village. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Fina Carpena-Mendez The purpose of this thesis is to understand the experiences that Nahua children, in rural Mexico, have as they attend schools that are primarily influenced by formal Western education in relation to their own ways of learning and knowing. This research took place over the course of three months within a Nahua indigenous community. I completed fieldwork in both the local elementary school and within the community through participant observation and semi- structured interviews with children, parents, and teachers. What I found was that the ways in which the community constructed childhood, knowledge, and learning differed significantly in what they experienced within the classroom. This in turn effected the relationships that were built between the school and the community and the student’s ability to succeed and have meaningful and supportive educational experiences. The experiences that they have are in turn effected by global, national, and local political and economic trends such as the implementation of neoliberalism, and it subsequent effect on educational policies for rural communities in Mexico. This ultimately leads to an education that is colonial in nature, despite efforts of including bilingual intercultural education programs, as the system seeks to colonize the bodies and minds of these students. Thus, it is my conclusion that both community and school must work together in order to create education programs that decolonize this process through the inclusion of programs that re-center their local language, culture, and learning practices.

  • Transgender Woman 'Raped 2,000 Times' in All-Male Prison
    A transgender woman was 'raped 2,000 times' in all-male prison Transgender woman 'raped 2,000 times' in all-male prison 'It was hell on earth, it was as if I died and this was my punishment' Will Worley@willrworley Saturday 17 August 2019 09:16 A transgender woman has spoken of the "hell on earth" she suffered after being raped and abused more than 2,000 times in an all-male prison. The woman, known only by her pseudonym, Mary, was imprisoned for four years after stealing a car. She said the abuse began as soon as she entered Brisbane’s notorious Boggo Road Gaol and that her experience was so horrific that she would “rather die than go to prison ever again”. “You are basically set upon with conversations about being protected in return for sex,” Mary told news.com.au. “They are either trying to manipulate you or threaten you into some sort of sexual contact and then, once you perform the requested threat of sex, you are then an easy target as others want their share of sex with you, which is more like rape than consensual sex. “It makes you feel sick but you have no way of defending yourself.” Mary was transferred a number of times, but said Boggo Road was the most violent - and where she suffered the most abuse. After a failed escape, Mary was designated as ‘high-risk’, meaning she had to serve her sentence as a maximum security prisoner alongside the most violent inmates. “I was flogged and bashed to the point where I knew I had to do it in order to survive, but survival was basically for other prisoners’ pleasure,” she said.

  • Clarifying Translanguaging and Deconstructing Named Languages: a Perspective from Linguistics
    Applied Linguistics Review 2015; 6(3): 281–307 Ricardo Otheguy*, Ofelia García and Wallis Reid Clarifying translanguaging and deconstructing named languages: A perspective from linguistics DOI 10.1515/applirev-2015-0014 Abstract: The concept of translanguaging is clarified, establishing it as a particular conception of the mental grammars and linguistic practices of bilinguals. Translanguaging is different from code switching. Under translanguaging, the mental grammars of bilinguals are structured but unitary collections of features, and the practices of bilinguals are acts of feature selection, not of grammar switch. A proper understanding of translanguaging requires a return to the well known but often forgotten idea that named languages are social, not linguistic, objects. Whereas the idiolect of a particular individual is a linguistic object defined in terms of lexical and structural features, the named language of a nation or social group is not; its boundaries and membership cannot be established on the basis of lexical and structural features. The two named languages of the bilingual exist only in the outsider’s view. From the insider’s perspective of the speaker, there is only his or her full idiolect or repertoire, which belongs only to the speaker, not to any named language. Translanguaging is the deployment of a speaker’sfull linguistic repertoire without regard for watchful adherence to the socially and politically defined boundaries of named (and usually national and state) languages. In schools, the translanguaging of bilinguals tends to be severely restricted. In addition, schools confuse the assessment of general linguistic proficiency, which is best manifested in bilinguals while translanguaging, with the testing of profi- ciency in a named language, which insists on inhibiting translanguaging.

  • 'Indie', Or Alternative, Are Band
    Exemplar for internal assessment resource Music for Achievement Standard 91425 When did it become so popular and how? The first ‘Indie’ bands which defined the genre ‘Indie’, or Alternative, are bands such as REM, The Smiths, Husker Du and Sonic Youth, These bands were commonly played in the United Kingdom and the United States during the 1980’s on various college radio stations. College radio stations played a huge part in the ‘Indie’ music scene. It was one of the only ways one could hear previously unknown or experimental music as a lot of it was not played on mainstream radio. For example, to this day 95bFM are a successful college driven radio station which have been around since 1969. It started as a pirate college radio station which broadcast from a boat in Auckland’s Waitemata harbour. These college radio stations effectively started the ‘Indie’ movement and scene, which created a huge devoted following. The development of the ‘Indie’ scene is also likely due to the number of subgenres which fit under the Alternative or ‘Indie’ genre, for example Shoegaze (commonly based around guitar effects and their ‘droning riffs’ and given the name due to guitarists looking at their feet whilst playing; this is due to guitar effects pedals and their non-confronting and introspective nature), Garage Punk (characterised by a dirty overdriven choppy guitar sound; not as politically driven as most Punk bands) and Grunge (originated in Seattle; commonly called the Seattle sound, it’s a fusion of Punk, Heavy Metal and Alternative music). You can see from the top selling albums throughout the 80’s until today that the volume of ‘Indie’ bands increased dramatically.

  • Abstract Jane Austen Uncensored
    ABSTRACT JANE AUSTEN UNCENSORED: A CRITICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL STUDY OF AUSTEN’S LETTERS FOR THE COLLEGE CLASSROOM Amanda Smothers, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2016 William Baker and Lara Crowley, Co-Directors A vast amount of literary critical and scholarly work on Jane Austen’s writing, including her juvenilia, has been published. However, insufficient attention has been paid to her extant letters and their significance. This dissertation redresses the imbalance and is the first extensive critical, scholarly discussion of Jane Austen’s correspondence and their pedagogical applications. In order to rectify the disparity, this dissertation examines Jane Austen’s surviving letters to determine how to contextualize them historically and biographically and in relation to her fiction for college composition and undergraduate literature courses. Background information on letter writing in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century provides context for Austen’s letter writing, comparing her content and style to common practices. This study also investigates the world of Austen’s letters, focusing on historical and biographical context, and scrutinizing the letters as a source of information about middle-class Regency England; Austen’s family and social circles; and the author herself, including her personality, attitudes toward current events, views on works of literature, and references to her writing and publication processes. Moreover, Austen’s letters would be beneficial as a theoretical pedagogical tool for teaching not only the novels but the world of her novels through an examination of her letters. Throughout my dissertation, previous work on teaching Austen and teaching with letters (both as a teaching tool and as a writing method) is incorporated, analyzed, and adapted.
