Science, social science, literary studies, philosophy, and history have all encountered challenges to the notion of “objectivity” in the wake of the Kuhnian revolution. These challenges, which problematize knowledge itself, have revived interest in the pragmatist notion of knowledge based in a community of inquiry. The related social constructivist recasting of curriculum thought in the past 15 years has been based not so much on the revision in the epistemology of the subject disciplines as in developments in learning theory and psychology. Using the discipline of history as a case study, this paper compares the scholarly community of inquiry with the community of inquiry in the classroom and examines the role of the teacher in negotiating the knowledge generated in each.

The Changing Nature of Audiences: From the Mass Audience to the Interactive Media User

This article argues that one of the core narratives within the present-day university is a nostalgic story line. Drawing on focused interviews with 23 senior researchers in three academic environments in Finland, the article shows that although the nostalgic plot structure cuts across the data, it has different contents in each of the three settings, thus emphasizing the internal diversity in academic life. However, in all cases nostalgic yearning refers to the loss of academic freedom and autonomy in work. The article concludes that nostalgia does not describe the actual past but rather the problems and tensions of the present. It is an idealization of the past, the function of which is to clarify the values and morals of the organization, which in turn can help to come to terms with the conflicting pressures of the current situation.

Globalization and Sustainability: Conflict or Convergence?

From 1993 until 1999, the author was engaged in a qualitative doctoral study that explored the issues that arise for social workers who make a transition from paid agency employment to private practice. The idea for the research study arose from her personal experience of this transition and of the ethical and professional issues this raises. The findings of the study have been previously reported (van Heugten, 2001, 2002, 2003; van Heugten and Daniels, 2001a, 2001b, 2002). This article focuses on tools the researcher employed to overcome some of the methodological dilemmas that emerged due to the insider nature of the research. The author proposes that intersubjective conceptualizations of countertransference that have emerged from the field of psychoanalysis, provide a useful additional aid to the management of potential insider bias. The other methodological issue explored in this article concerns the reliability of respondents’ retrospective self reports about decision making processes.
