McGlone, Matthew S. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
To its credit, conceptual metaphor theory (CMT) has drawn significant attention to the question of what figurative language can tell us about human concepts. However, the answers CMT theorists have offered are typically unsubstantiated by the empirical evidence, and occasionally unfalsifiable. This reply to Raymond W. Gibbs Jr.'s positive…

Apple, Michael W. – Journal of Educational Administration and History, 2013
I want to use this essay -- basically a commentary -- as a context for some political reflections on what is happening to the governance and the labour processes at universities internationally. In the process, in addition to my critical reflections on the neoliberal impulses affecting universities, I want to do two other things. First, I shall…

This commentary addresses Subotnik et al.'s target article from the perspective of researchers active in the field of giftedness.

Cogo, Alessia – ELT Journal, 2012
Sowden's article raises a number of questions concerning English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and criticizes it as a simplified and culturally neutral means of communication. In this response, I address the issues concerning the conceptualization and use of ELF as well as the implications for ELT. I provide up-to-date evidence of ELF research and show…

Yanow, Wendy – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2010
In the United States there is such incredible complacency about both the meaning of democracy and America's position as the great democratic nation that there is very little, if any, public debate on what is meant by democracy and what responsibilities Americans bear as a democratic nation. In response to the editors' growing recognition of the…

Hotaling, Jared M.; Busemeyer, Jerome R.; Li, Jiyun – Psychological Review, 2010
Tsetsos, Usher, and Chater (2010) presented several criticisms of decision field theory (DFT) involving its distance function, instability under externally controlled stopping times, and lack of robustness to various multialternative choice scenarios. Here, we counter those claims with a specification of a distance function based on the…

Storm, Lance; Tressoldi, Patrizio E.; Di Risio, Lorenzo – Psychological Bulletin, 2010
In our article (Storm, Tressoldi, & Di Risio, 2010), we claimed that the ganzfeld experimental design has proved to be consistent and reliable. However, Hyman (2010) argues that the overall evidence for psi is, in fact, contradictory and elusive. We present a case for psi research that undermines Hyman's argument. First, we give examples from…

This paper offers a brief reading of the history of theatre education and applied theatre as a way to reflect on the principles and values that have informed their development.

Lemke, Jay – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2011
This response to Jesse Bazzul and Heather Sykes' paper, "The secret identity of a biology textbook: straight and naturally sexed," explores their critiques of textbooks and curricula that authoritatively present scientific accounts of the natural world without engaging students in critical thinking. It proposes that we need to go beyond such…
