Learning to think the past: Heritage,identity and state education in Wales

Abstract

Despite its problematic nature, the term Celtic is often linked with Wales and its history. Commonly regarded as a Celtic nation, the concept has been used to engender a sense of identity and also a sense of difference between Wales and other parts of the British Isles, particularly with England. As the national curriculum has been adapted to the needs of schools in Wales, some of these aims and objectives have been made explicit in many parts of the syllabus. Heritage sites in Wales also relate their history and present archaeology to a Celtic past and a case study of a specific site in Pembrokeshire is used to exemplify this approach. There is evidence that children find these portrayals of their past, as contained in the teaching in schools and site visits, interesting and informative. The dangers lie in the over‐simplification of the contested concept of Celticity and in the shortage of good evaluative assessments of these learning to think approaches.     

An Academic Perspective on Grey Literature

This article presents an academic’s perspective on grey literature, providing the viewpoint from someone who has experience publishing in both academic and grey literature venues. I explore the strengths and weaknesses of grey literature and argue that more rigorous quality control, increased access to this literature, and more scholarly cooperation are necessary in order for grey literature to become accepted as a legitimate published form.     

Stem Cell Policies in the United States and in Germany

The article compares policymaking in the field of human embryonic stem cell research in the United States and in Germany. Although experimental research with human stem cells is controversial in both countries, restrictions on research are much more strict in Germany than in the United States. In order to explain the contrast between the United States and Germany in dealing with human embryonic stem cell research and to predict possible future developments, we need to look carefully at a number of important differences in the interpretations and discourses of embryonic stem cell research and their consequences for the strategies of institutions and actors in the political-regulatory realm.     

Stand der Internationalisierung von kleineren Unternehmen aus den Ziel-2-Gebieten Nordrhein- Westfalens Ergebnisse einer Befragung im Rahmen des Projektes "Europa-Fit"

Das Projekt "Europa-Fit" unterstützt kleinere Unternehmen aus den Ziel-2-Gebieten in Nordrhein-Westfalen bei der Erschließung neuer Absatz-, Beschaffungs- und Kooperationsmöglichkeiten innerhalb der Europäischen Union. Durch Beratung, Qualifizierung und Coaching werden ausgewählte Kleinbetriebe auf ihrem Weg in den EU-Binnenmarkt individuell begleitet. Zur Bedarfsermittlung und Auswahl geeigneter Betriebe wurde im Vorfeld von den Partnerorganisationen—dem Rationalisierungs- und Innovationszentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V. (RKW NRW), der Landesgewerbeförderungsstelle des nordrhein-westfälischen Handwerks e.V. (LGH) und dem Zentrum für Innovation und Technik in Nordrhein- Westfalen GmbH (ZENIT)—im November 2001 eine schriftliche Unternehmensbefragung von kleineren Unternehmen bis ca. 70 Mitarbeitern durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Befragung sollen in dem folgenden Artikel zusammenfassend dargestellt werden. Den Abschluß bildet ein kurzer Abriss der ersten Erfahrungen, die im Projekt Europa-Fit gemacht wurden.
