The Pursuit to Discover Intro: A.S. Byatt’s Possession: A Romance establishes itself as a postmodern university novel because it centers on the field of research and academia development through a campus setting. Roland Mitchell, the protagonist of the story, is a postdoctoral and literary researcher who is more focused on academia than job prospects, fixing his crumbling relationship with his girlfriend Val, and overall taking part in mandatory obligations such as household contribution, that primarily

Paulo Freire believes that the world is primarily dominated by the “banking” concept in regards to education. Under the “banking” concept, Freire describes the relationship between students and teachers as “involv[ing] a narrating Subject (the teacher) and patient, listening objects (the students)” (216). Freire later goes on to symbolize students as empty receptacles awaiting teachers to dump their knowledge freely to fill the empty spaces. Memorization, obedience, oppression, and dominance all

Frankenstein, too, found himself in a pressured situation. Although most of it came from himself, some did come from his professors—science was not something the general public knew much about and your careers did not depend on publishing papers in scientific journals so there was less pressure from society. While Frankenstein got a lot of reinforcement and positivity from M. Waldman, M. Krempe was more uptight and strict. Because Frankenstein studied alchemy and pseudoscience, M. Krempe rudely commented

especially independent non-government organisations (INGOs). He claims, INGOs bring presence on the ground (either through being operational, or having long term local partners), they bring communication skills (not always academics’ strong point). Academia contributes research smarts and credibility, and a long term, reflective lens that frenetic activism often lacks. Correspondingly, he argues that while all this is true, nonprofit organisations

Brandon Koch Jean Converse in her work Survey Research in the United States historicizes the method of survey research from the years of 1865-1960. The value and legitimatization of the survey research method stems from the wartime experiences of WWI and WWII. Early wartime research was a small scattered field prior to WWI consisting of a small tight knit group of a few hundred researchers (163). “Most of those who had major responsibilities for wartime opinion research were, at some time or other

Basic Motives Behind Academic and Industrial Science and the Differences in Their Practice Zahra Hussaini Griffith University Academic and industrial science are organisations in which research and development (R&D) is carried out, albeit with different motives and practices. The purpose of this paper is to compare the key drives, or basic motives, behind the types of science and explain how they relate to the differences in their practice. Academic science, in simple terms, entails carrying

Social consciousness tends to focus on our knowledge of social topics, but I am more concerned with how we talk about them. If selected for the Fulbright, I would use the funds to pursue a research-based masters in philosophy at the University of Sheffield, focused on the topics of language and social issues. The program is a self-structured masters involving a dissertation. This program was selected to build experience in philosophy in order to later pursue a PhD and eventual professorship in philosophy

Since Avengers: Infinity War is heading our way this week, why not talk about a certain superhero TV series that’s not only made for Otakus, but also for superhero geeks? After watching the first season of My Hero Academia (Boku Hero no Academia), I can’t help but want more of this series. The first season, consisting of only thirteen episodes, adapted the general premise of the original manga story and had its character roster set, but missed the opportunity to build on those elements. Well, have
