Developing successful intelligence : a curriculum for employability in changing markets for graduate labour

A key pedagogical challenge for undergraduate educators in integrating work and learning in the curriculum, is the identification of appropriate conceptual constructs to facilitate student learning and development. State and employer organisations have articulated a discourse of 'key skills' which has been adopted by universities, and yoked to innovations in pedagogy for employability. We propose the construct 'successful intelligence' to enhance pedagogy for employability. We show how it might be introduced to the undergraduate business curriculum, using a case study of the evolution of an undergraduate management development programme to ground our thinking in practice. We also use student perceptions of teaching, learning, and career planning to distinguish what students regard as real and relevant in their studies, contributing to employability

The Age-Friendly Media and Information Literate (#AFMIL) City:

This paper proposes a model for developing an Age-Friendly Media and Information Literate (#AFMIL) city. It starts by addressing general issues concerning ageing and ageism. Key features of UNESCO’s framework for a media and information literate city are described. The authors proceed to identify relevant international handbooks, guidelines and initiatives concerning age-friendly environments, cities for human rights, smart cities, creative cities and informational cities. Drawing on these documents, the authors outline a model for developing an #AFMIL city, centred on older people enacting three roles: their role as consumers of media and information; older people as represented in the media; and older people in their role as creators, critics and innovators. They highlight the role of librarians in this development

Róże Różewicza

This article outlines some of the translation decisions encountered in the process of translating into English a single poem by Tadeusz Różewicz: “14 lipca 2004 – w nocy,” from the poet’s 2004 collection wyjście. I describe some of the major issues of word choice and syntax that the translation involved. Furthermore, I compare the esthetics of Polish versus English-language poetry, and consider the difficulties of rendering Różewicz’s voice in English. Lastly, I set the translation of this poem in the broader context of Różewicz’s recent poetry–the translation in question is part of a forthcoming English-language collection of Różewicz’s three most recent books, wyjście, szara strefa (2002) and nożyk profesora (2001)
