Knowledge of the natural and the social: how are they different and what do t…
Knowledge of the natural and the social are irreducibly different yet have much in common. The differences lie at the levels of complexity they engage, modes of explanation they adopt, investigation aims they allow and whether they assert a ‘double hermeneutic’ effect to the behaviour of the studied objects. Knowledge are in common in that they are all construed out of available resources, just…

'But, apartheid was also genocide … What about our suffering?' Teaching the…
Participants in South African educator workshops focusing on teaching the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda frequently declare that apartheid was also genocide. These comments seem like a cry to recognize that South Africa's past of human-rights abuses and pain also deserves a definition, and genocide seems to be the desired title of ultimate suffering. How do you teach the Holocaust an…

The problem with using historical parallels as a method in Holocaust and geno…

One of the answers is that Holocaust education in these cases should facilitate the creation of parallels and similarities between past events and the experiences of the learners. This concept is contrasted with a histori…

The discussion in Germany regarding teaching about the Holocaust in multicultural classrooms mirrors an ongoing debate about the reality of present-day Germany: instead of dealing with the many learners with non-German backgrounds residing in the country, various educators have instead complained about problems relating to general discipline or a lack of motivation on the part of the learners t…

In 1979, the United States struggled to come to terms with Iran's transformation from consort to adversary. Washington had difficulty fitting Iran into the hierarchy of regional and international priorities…

Climate Change and Regime Perpetuation in North Korea
Climate change is a new variable that may weaken the Kim Jong-il regime by disrupting North Korea's agricultural sector, leading to greater food insecurity and erosion of the state's institutions.
