The Socratic Oath for Teachers

What makes a good teacher? In 1991 Hartmut von Hentig attempted to answer this when he first formulated a 'Socratic oath' for the profession and it is a question which remains relevant today. In The Socratic Oath for Teachers Klaus Zierer revisits and reframes the concept of a teacher’s oath while also addressing challenges currently facing our societal developments in recent didactic-methodological research and fresh perspectives on the goals of the teaching profession. Referencing Socrates throughout this short think piece proposes a professional oath for teachers that at its core is fully committed to the successful education and well-being of students. Drawing upon key research and his own experiences within education Zierer answers the following questions establishing how a professional oath may support teachers: What is a professional oath and what can it do? What characterises teacher professionalism? What can be understood by teacher attitudes? Why are they crucial for a successful professional oath? Why is Socrates suitable as a guarantor for a professional oath of teachers? Why is a renewal of the Socratic Oath necessary? For whom is an oath necessary and what must it contain? In this fascinating work Klaus Zierer explores the principles and goals of the teaching profession and formulates theoretically sound and empirically validated principles of successful teaching. This is an essential read for any teacher senior leader policy maker educationalist or researcher who wants to learn more about what makes a good teacher.

In the past two decades Marxism has enjoyed a revitalization as a research program and a growth in its audience. This renaissance is connected to the revival of anti-capitalist contestation since the Seattle protests in 1999 and the impact of the global economic and financial crisis in 2007–8.

Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

This book is the first to focus exclusively on issues of gender and sexuality in a range of post-war novels from the Anglophone Caribbean. Concentrating on the 1950s to the mid 1970s it highlights the period's diversity of sexual concerns. New readings of seminal figures like Samuel Selvon and George Lamming are offered in tandem with discussion of innovative lesser-studied authors such as Andrew Salkey Oscar Dathorne and Rosa Guy. Whereas this body of work has tended to be characterised as minimally engaged with sexuality and overly reliant on patriarchal heteronormative frameworks the book takes a different approach. First it unpacks the motivations behind the masculinist bent of much of this writing emphasising the anxieties underlying such assertion. It exposes both the gendered and sexual imperatives of the nationalist project and the destabilising effects of migration on masculine performance. Second it brings to life a range of critically neglected same-sex desires. Framing such longing as both narratively and nationally disruptive it recovers the marginalised erotic relations that challenge fantasies of national cohesion. As a result the book opens up existing mappings of Caribbean fiction. Drawing on queer theory feminism and masculinity studies it highlights the ways in which sex both exceeds and threatens the imagined unity on which the nationalist vision depends. | Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature
