The Week That Was In 234

Moler's Musing

This week wasnt about cramming in new content or racing toward a testit was about building something that lasted. We used a layered mix of retrieval, reading, analysis, structured writing, and reflection, and each protocol helped us answer a bigger question.

The study of it should help students to understand how the world works and to use this knowledge to make decisions about the future. But the world is a huge place and it is changing fast.

Meritocracy as Authoritarian Co-Optation: Political Selection and Upward Mobility in China

Political Science Now

Meritocracy as Authoritarian Co-Optation: Political Selection and Upward Mobility in China By Hanzhang Liu , Pitzer College. Why does an authoritarian regime adopt meritocracy in its political selection? I argue that meritocracy can be used to co-opt large numbers of ordinary citizens by providing them with an opportunity of socioeconomic advancement instead of income redistribution, as long as the selection process is viewed as inclusive and rule-based.

What is Christian pedagogy? It is much more than just advice on teaching

Pedagogy and Formation

In my book 'Pedagogy and Education for Life: A Christian Reframing of Teaching, Learning and Formation' I argue that Christian education and pedagogy must be rooted in an understanding of God's people in-between this life and the next. We are shaped as we engage with others, and move in and out of varied 'communities of practice'. This is a reality for our students as they attend our schools, for it is one of the many 'communities of practice' they inhabit.

Bonjour Paris!

Living Geography

I'm just back from the 2nd of my Easter trips: this time to Paris. It was a great trip, a real highlight of which was the David Hockney 25 exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The building itself is stunning, designed by Frank Gehry and looking like the billowing sails of a galleon from the front. It's in the Bois de Boulogne, which is a Metro ride out from the centre: a lovely area.

A pilgrimage to Perec

Living Geography

While in Paris, I of course had to make my way to Saint Sulpice. It was in this square outside several cafes, which I visited, that the writer Georges Perec sat to try to "exhaust a place in Paris" by observing all the small things that happened while he was there over the course of three days. I visited the cafe where there is a plaque which references his famous book written with no use of the letter 'e' and sat on the benches where he sat.
