Communities of Designers: Transforming a Situation into a Unified Whole
A new player, digital technology, has entered into the already variegated
and often contentious world of teaching and teacher education. This new player
promises to disrupt existing practices in some as yet undefined way. It is not
surprising that its eventual impact on learning or on educational equity is
uncertain, when there is still great uncertainty around basic questions such as
which digital tools ought to be considered or what they cost.
The previous chapters in this book make a major contribution to the
conversation about (digital) technology in education. They address three large
questions: How should we integrate technology into learning? What happens
when we do? How do we learn to do it (possibly better than before)?published or submitted for publicationnot peer reviewe
Lagrangian versus Quantization
We discuss examples of systems which can be quantized consistently, although
they do not admit a Lagrangian description.Comment: 8 pages, no figures; small corrections, references adde
Mapping the First 10 Years with Leximancer: Themes and Concepts in the Sports Management International Journal Choregia
This study uses Leximancer (a text-mining tool for visualizing the structure of concepts and themes in text) to map the published research within Sports Management International Journal Choregia from 2005 to 2014. Drawing on 88 papers, of which 61 were classified as empirical and 27 as non-empirical ones, results reveal that the last half of the examined period concerned works that do not relate to the Greek context, which has been the case during the first years of Choregia’s publication. ‘Sports participation’, ‘physical activity’, ‘Greek football clubs’ – all largely associated with ‘management’ and ‘factors’ – shape the main themes in the studies published within Choregia. In addition, an emphasis on positivistic approaches, through the employment of questionnaires and utilizing students as the population for data collection, appears to be the dominant methodological orientation of the published content in Choregia. Becoming the platform for studies that originate beyond the American, Greek, and Iranian contexts, through special issues and invited contributions in the form of research notes would potentially increase this outlet’s scope and depth (that is, context and themes, respectively)
An Evolutionary Theory of Inflation Inertia
We provide a simple theory of inflation inertia in a staggered price setting framework a la Calvo (1983). Contrary to Calvo's formulation, the frequency of price changes is allowed to vary according to an evolutionary criterion. Inertia is the direct result of gradual adjustment in this frequency following a permanent change in the rate of money growth.Inflation inertia, evolutionary game theory, staggered price setting,

MK Dons FC and AFC Wimbledon: moving the goalposts and rising from the ashes
This case study provides an insight into a unique and unprecedented event in English professional football: the relocation of a major club to a completely different geographical area.
The ruling, in 2002, was hugely controversial, and effectively spawned two entirely new entities: MK Dons FC, who took the place of Wimbledon FC in the Football League and based themselves in Milton Keynes, 60 miles away from the original club; and AFC Wimbledon, a fan- owned ‘phoenix’ club which started again at the bottom of the football pyramid and is located near to Wimbledon FC’s original home.
Despite their creation resulting from the same event, the two newly created clubs are notable for their contrasting ownership models and the reaction they have received from both the media and the wider football community in Great Britain

MK Dons FC and AFC Wimbledon: moving the goalposts and rising from the ashes
The aim of this paper will be to compare a franchise and fan-ownership model within a European sports team context, and conclude what the key learnings are for sport managers. In particular, the paper will examine an unprecedented event in English football, the relocation of a major professional club to a completely different geographical area and the resulting creation of an additional fan-owned 'phoenix club'
Lessons from the Bakken Oil Patch
This is a preprint of an article that appeared in the Journal Contemporary Archaeology. The article summarizes the recent work of the North Dakota Man Camp Project to understand the largely undocumented migrants arriving in the Bakken Oil Patch for work. It argues that efforts to document short-term labor in the Bakken exposes particular challenges facing the archaeology of the modern world ranging from the ephemerality of short-term settlements to the hyper-abundance of modern objects. The use of photography, video, interviews, and descriptions produced an abundant archive of archaeological ephemera that in some ways parallels the modern character of temporary workforce housing. The final section of this article offers some perspectives on how work in the Bakken oil patch can inform policy, our understanding of material culture in the modern world, and the role of the discipline in forming a shared narrative
