 | | | | The Ukrainian War for theConversation (episode 6) Crimea votes to secede from Ukraine as EU considers sanctions against Russia Crimeans have voted by a huge margin to secede from Ukraine. According to early reports released after 50% of the ballots had been counted more than 95% of votes were in favour of joining Russia. EU foreign ministers will meet to consider a parcel of sanctions against Russia, said to include visa bans and the freezing of assets of a number of Russian officials. The Crimea referendum has been hailed in Moscow and Simferopol as an opportunity for the people of Crimea to express their preference for the future status of the peninsula and, equally, has been derided as illegal and illegitimate... |

| "Creating a More Equal Future," in Andrew Harrop and Ed Wallis, eds. Future Left (Fabian Society, 2016), 91-103 A political response adequate to the problems of future inequality must be about more than tweaks to the tax or welfare system. Just as the postwar Labour government was able to embed a new, more egalitarian settlement into the centre of our shared national life, so too in the 21st century the left must think about what kinds of public institutions would have to be brought into being in order to create a better, wealthier and more equal society. |

| SPELLING INSTRUCTION: A SELF-SELECTED APPROACH Weekly spelling tests have been the staple of elementary education for the last 100 years. Here students memorize a list of words each week and then take a test on Friday. Tests are corrected, scores are taken, and one is deemed either a good spelling or not good speller. This is would be a great way to teach spelling except for one thing: it's not very effective. Studying a list of words out of any meaningful context has minimal effect in helping to develop students' spelling proficiency; and worse, they keep students away from real writing experiences. This chapter describes a better way... |

| Sacrifice, Faith, Mestizo Identity: Three Views of Che's "New Man" [PRE-PUBLICATION PROOFS] This essay revisits Che Guevara's concept of the new man through close readings of Motorcycle Diaries (book and film) and Steve Soderbergh's Che: Part One (2008). Although I briefly engage Che's Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War, and use Richard Dindo's film Ernesto Che Guevara: The Bolivian Diary (1996) as a framing device, my primary focus is a critical analysis of the origins of the utopian myth of the "new man." Hence this analysis is not principally concerned with the dystopian outcomes of that myth in Soderbergh's Che: Part Two. |
