Pepper, Carolyn M.; Sandefer, Ryan H.; Gray, Matt J. – Journal of Rural Health, 2010
Context: Recruiting and retaining physicians is a challenge in rural areas.

Walter, Pierre – Australian Journal of Adult Learning, 2012
This paper examines how two sites of adult learning in the food movement create educational alternatives to the dominant U.S. food system.

The first case is…

Haake, Claudia B. – American Indian Culture and Research Journal, 2012
This article seeks to explain the nature of the arguments the Iroquois presented to the US government in trying to prevent their removal. In the letters they wrote to the federal government from the 1830s to the 1850s they emphasized their own law as well as that of the United States. They drew on whatever perception of law they deemed was best…

Blair, Erik – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2009
Foucault suggests that there are "other spaces", heterotopias, which are located in the world we live in but are "outside of all places, even though it may be possible to indicate their location in reality". Foucault offers examples of this concept by suggesting that prisons, brothels and boats at sea are specific spaces that…

Ackley, Kristina – American Indian Quarterly, 2009
The Oneidas have a history marked by land dispossession and removal from a once vast homeland. In 2009, there are three Oneida communities that share in litigation for the return of the homeland; in New York (2,000 members), at the Thames community near Southwold, Ontario (5,000 members), and in Wisconsin (15,000 members). Those hostile to the…

Chill, Abigail S. – Social Education, 2009
Is the anticipated move of a school to a new location a source of curious excitement and optimism or an occasion for trepidation, recrimination, and anxiety? As plans to relocate the Walworth Barbour American International School in Israel from Kfar Shmaryahu (its location for over 40 years) to Even Yehuda became more immediate, teachers and…

Miller, Jenny; Windle, Joel – English in Australia, 2010
This article provides a critical review of popular models for literacy pedagogy with regard for the needs of low-literacy refugee-background students. We argue that in a context of high linguistic diversity there is a need to re-evaluate teaching practices and curriculum in a way that is more responsive to difference and which pays closer…
