Informal peer critique and the negotiation of habitus in a design studio (AEC...colin gray
Critique is considered to be a central feature of design education, serving as both a structural mechanism that provides regular feedback, and a high stakes assessment tool. This study utilizes informal peer critique as a natural extension of this existing form, engaging the practice community in reflection-in-action due to the natural physical co-location of the studio environment. The purpose of this study is to gain greater understanding of the pedagogical role of informal critique in shaping design thinking and judgment, as seen through the framing of Bourdieu’s habitus. The methodology of this study is informed by a critical theory perspective, and uses a combination of interview, observation, and stimulated recall in the process of data collection. Divergent viewpoints on the role of informal v. formal spaces, objectivity v. subjectivity of critique, and differences between professor and peer feedback are addressed. Additionally, beliefs about critique on the individual and group level are analysed as critical elements of an evolving habitus, supported by or developed in response to the culture inscribed by the pedagogy and design studio. This form of critique reveals tacit design thinking and conceptions of design, and outlines the co-construction of habitus by individual students and the design pedagogy.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A three-part theoretical framework to explain undergraduates’ perceptions of barriers to employment in primary teaching in the UK
1. A three-part theoretical framework to
explain undergraduates’ perceptions
of barriers to employment in primary
teaching in the UK
Andrew Morrison
Sheffield Hallam University
2. The study focus
• Small-scale qualitative investigation into
undergraduates’ perceptions of possible barriers
to obtaining employment within primary
teaching in the UK.
• The barriers focused upon related to accent and
gender.
• The study also examined the students’ sense of
(in)justice in relation to perceived barriers.
3. Origins of study
• Between October 2010 and January 2011 a small-
scale investigation conducted into undergraduates’
perceptions of barriers to employment within three
different professional areas.
• Results published in Journal of Education and
Work in 2014.
• Barriers engendered a strong sense of injustice.
• Follow-up study to focus on barriers to primary
teaching conducted October 2012—February 2013.
4. Three-part theoretical framework
1. Bourdieu—habitus, capital and field.
2. Sayer’s (2005) discussion of lay normativity.
3. Fraser’s theory of two-dimensional social
justice.
5. Lay Normativity
• Andrew Sayer (2005) The Moral Significance of
Class
• Our sense of what is good or bad and how we
expect to be treated.
• May be inconsistent or incoherent.
• But forms the rationale for individuals’
commitments and identities.
6. The Bourdieusian schema
• The habitus--an individual’s set of dispositions
by which they navigate their way through the
social world.
• The field--social space as a competitive
structured social relation.
• Positions are determined by the types of
resources, or ‘capital’, that individuals can bring
to the field: economic; cultural; social.
• Conversion of capital: economic -cultural
7. Linguistic capital
• Bourdieu shows the inter-relationship between
different forms of capital.
• Thus, social differentiation lies along several
intersecting axes.
• Accent may be understood as one axis of
differentiation among others.
• Despite relative decline of RP, still considerable
research evidence to show that certain English
regional accents, and many Scottish and Welsh,
seen as less prestigious (Snell, 2013).
8. How can Bourdieu help?
• Approach to language applies and develops the
trio of concepts that underpin the wider theory
of practice.
• Linguistic utterances are products of a relation
between an individual’s ‘linguistic habitus’ and
‘linguistic field/s’.
• Linguistic habitus is a deeply embodied sub-set
of the dispositions of an individual’s habitus.
• Accent is the result of a certain mode of moving
the tongue or lips—’articulatory style’.
9. A sense of place
• Linguistic utterances are always produced in
particular contexts or fields.
• Properties of these fields will endow linguistic
products with a certain ‘value’.
• Through linguistic habitus, individuals develop a
degree of anticipation of the value of their
linguistic utterances within different fields, e.g.
the labour market/s.
• This linguistic ‘sense of place’ is a practical
competence.
10. Linguistic, symbolic and material
capital
• Capacity to produce linguistic utterances that are
highly valued across different fields is one that is
unevenly distributed across society.
• In other words, different speakers possess different
quantities of ‘linguistic capital’.
• As Thompson (1991: 18) observes, linguistic capital
often maps onto other forms of capital.
• In general, the greater the linguistic capital that an
individual has, the more they are able to secure
symbolic and material profits from the field.
11. The need for critical normativity
• Bourdieu offers a sophisticated theoretical
framework through which to conceptualise the
power relations.
• However, as Thompson (1991: 31) notes,
although Bourdieu’s work offers real critical
potential, it is above all a sociological theory, not
a normative political theory.
12. Two-dimensional justice
• Nancy Fraser, a leading American social theorist
and socialist feminist.
• Class, 'race' and gender as bi-valent categories
along a cultural-material conceptual spectrum.
• 'Race' and gender in the middle of the spectrum.
• Redistribution and recognition remedies--pull in
opposite directions?
• How to bridge the gap?
13. Perspectival dualism
• All social practices are to be considered
simultaneously economic and cultural (although
not always in equal measure).
• Redistribution and recognition are two
perspectives to view the economic dimensions of
what are normally considered cultural processes
and vice-versa.
• A normative theory of justice, requiring (a) legal
equality; (b) distribution of resources and (c)
‘intersubjective equality’ (Fraser, 1999: 137).
14. Fraser and Bourdieu
• Outcome is a ‘dual systems’ (Anthias, 2005)
approach to economy and culture.
• Bourdieusian framework: economic capital and the
various forms of cultural capital are analytically
separable but entwined in concrete circumstances.
• Study concerned with factors perceived to affect
access to employment (= distribution justice;
economic capital).
• Accent and gender are products of cultural status
order of society, or what Bourdieu terms cultural
capital.
15. The study
• Case-study institution is a post-1992 university
in South Wales, recruiting principally from
within the South Wales area.
• Third year cohort of the BA (Hons) in Education
Studies.
• 2012—13: 147 students, of whom 122 (83%) were
female and 25 (17%) were male.
• Seven focus groups between 6 October 2012 and
21 February 2013: 34 females and 7 males.
16. Accents: fear of prejudice
• Melanie: I know it sounds really bad but I think a
lot of Welsh are labelled as sometimes ‘thick’ maybe
‘cos of their accents and things in the media and
stuff and I think that maybe they might judge me
because of my accent and that I’m not as clever as
someone from Oxford who can pronounce their
words properly and speak properly.
• Jade: I think if someone from Oxford was sitting
next to you or someone who’s well-spoken and
you’re talking with a Welsh twang like we are, I
think it would jeopardize [employment
opportunities]. (Focus Group Seven)
17. A linguistic sense of place
• Focus groups facilitated group reflection upon
the dispositions of a collective linguistic habitus.
• Students were reflecting upon their ‘linguistic
sense of place’ (Bourdieu, 1991: 82).
• Students were exercising a practical sense of
anticipation with regard to the likely value
accorded to their linguistic utterances within the
wider field of primary teaching employment
beyond Wales.
18. A sense of injustice
• Kim: They could have the same ability as someone who
speaks la-di-da anyway
• Rachel: I mean, you could even be the best, better person for
the job than someone who talks like that.
• Christine: But they might discriminate just ‘cos...
• Rachel: Definitely. Personally, I think that’s a big factor.
• Kim: It’s really unfair though...
• Amy: Yeah, it is unfair but...it’s discrimination, isn’t it?
• Kim: ‘Cos people who haven’t got, like, anything, their
family haven’t got any money, they work so hard for it and
just because of where they’re from then they can’t get a job
that they’re capable of doing, do you know what I mean?
(Focus Group One)
19. A claim for inter-subjective equality
• Students appear to be making a recognitional
claim for ‘intersubjective’ equality.
• “...institutionalized cultural patterns of
interpretation and valuation express equal
respect for all participants and ensure equal
opportunity for achieving social esteem (Fraser,
1999: 37).
• Fear of injurious processes of misrecognition
which may harm their chances of obtaining
teaching employment (distributional justice).
20. But...?: The morally responsible
teacher
• A perception across the focus groups that accent
is important in teaching and that speaking
‘properly’ had an important professional
function.
• For some students, this was tied to the need to
be a ‘morally responsible’ teacher who did not
lead the children ‘astray’ through their own
accent.
21. But...?
• Hannah: I definitely find myself talking much
better when I’m in the classroom or even in this
situation
• Joanna: You’re more aware
• Hannah: Yeah, talk more clearly, definitely, yeah,
but I think it’s just important for young children
that you do speak clearly and correctly which is
good yeah.
• Melanie: It’s really important because they’re
learning off of you.
• (Focus Group Seven)
22. But...?
• Expressed in a certain distancing from and even
disavowal of their own accent.
• There are hints here of Bourdieu’s (1991)
argument for the way in which a linguistic sense
of place acts as an internalised constraint on
linguistic production, thereby having the effect
of a form of self-censorship and of hyper self-
correction.
23. But...?
• For other students, the concern about having the
‘correct’ accent was related to more instrumental
reasons.
• Focused upon the need to present oneself as
‘employable’.
24. But...?
• Interviewer: How important do you think your accent is
when you are looking for a teaching job?
• All: Massively [general agreement, nodding]
• Susan: The way you speak, the way you talk, the words you
use, I think that they really have a massive effect on, like, the
interview process. If you go in there speaking all chavvy
[general laughter], people are going to be, like where are you
from?
• Jane: I think my English speaking is rubbish! My voice is
slow! [General laughter]
• Susan: It’s true ‘cos when you talk to people and you hear
the way they speak, it’s like errr! [General laughter]
• (Focus Group Two)
25. Compromise formations
• Students interpreted accent to include grammar
and vocabulary.
• Conflation of accent with other linguistic factors
reflects anxiety over linguistic sense of place.
• Bourdieu (1991): all language production is
characterised by the need for a degree of
euphemism or 'compromise formations' that are
congruent with the schemes of evaluation of the
relevant field.
26. Systematic discrepancies
• Language production is characterised by systematic
discrepancies between linguistic fields and the forms
of (self)censorship associated with them, and the
capacities of individuals to produce linguistic
expressions appropriate to the field.
• Individuals with high levels of cultural capital
usually experience a close alignment between their
linguistic habitus and the requirements of formal
occasions such as job interviews (Bourdieu, 1991).
27. A rationally adaptive response?
• Students' comments indicate a collective
linguistic habitus that is not comfortably aligned
with the anticipated linguistic evaluation
schemes of the wider field of primary teaching
beyond Wales.
• Could be argued that students’ perceived need to
speak ‘properly’ reflects a rationally adaptive
response to anticipated prejudice because of
their accents or other forms of linguistic
production.
28. An act of misrecognition?
• A critical sociological viewpoint may also say that
the students are ‘buying in’ to the reproduction of
their own oppression.
• Acceptance of such a value system (however
unwillingly) is itself an act of misrecognition that is
helping to support societal processes of
misrecognition which serve to position their accents
negatively.
• Essence of Bourdieu's (1991) argument that the
exercise of power through symbolic exchange always
rests on a foundation of shared belief.
29. Concluding remarks
• Application of dual-systems approach to
economy-culture.
• Drawing on Bourdieu and Fraser.
• Dual systems allows us to avoid collapsing the
distinction between economy and culture.
• Thereby understand what is distinctive between
recognitional and distributional claims for
justice.
30. Concluding remarks
• Students' fears of employer prejudice (if realised
in practice) would have clear distributional
implications (economic capital).
• But, fears of likely employer prejudice related to
their accents are a valid claim of injustice
regardless of the possible distributional
implications of such prejudice in terms of future
employment opportunities.
31. Concluding remarks
• Focus of study was on students' perceptions of
prejudice, not experience of it.
• In Bourdieusian terms, study asked students to
reflect upon their dispositions towards a field in
which they are not yet actual ‘players’.
• Qualification is important because dispositions
are always relational, being formed, at least in
part, through the encounter between the
individual’s habitus and the relevant field.
32. Concluding remarks
• Important to understand the exercise of ‘practical
sense’ by which undergraduates may anticipate
possible employment-related barriers, and the
effects of this upon their sense of personal
employability.
• Undergraduates have widely differing volumes and
compositions of capital, and this affects their ‘sense
of place’ within the fields of the labour market.
• Working-class 'localism' conditioned by many
factors, including anticipated prejudice.
