AAUP’s turn to collective bargaining grew out of a more expansive view of unionization than is typical for American labor unions. The mission of the AAUP incorporates addressing economic matters, as does the purpose of unions generally. But the AAUP adopted collective bargaining as a means of protecting and expanding the professional interests of the profession. This paper surveys the various approaches that AAUP chapters have used to accomplish the safeguarding and expansion of academic freedom.

During last year's Senate debate on the Endless Frontiers Act, a bill that would authorize substantial funding increases for the National Science Foundation (NSF), some lawmakers raised questions concerning the value of federal investments in scientific research.This article suggests that a new framework for studying and understanding the value and impact of

With increasingly diverse students, schools and districts are under pressure to meet rigorous standards and raise student achievement in reading and literacy. Most teachers respond by differentiating their instruction to some extent, but not all scholars and educators agree on whether differentiated instruction works. This systematic review and meta-analysis seeks to determine the effects of Tier 1 differentiation, which is provided by the general education classroom teacher, on literacy outcomes. Distinguishing between designed differentiation and interactional differentiation, the authors provide multiple examples of content, process, and product differentiation in the context of literacy instruction. Reviewing more than 20 years of literacy research, the authors located 18 studies with 25 study cohorts. Outcomes include fluency, decoding, letter-word reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing achievement. The overall weighted mean effect size (g) was +0.13 (p = .002) with 88% of the individual point estimates being positive. Overall, the findings indicate that differentiated literacy instruction is an effective evidence-based practice at the elementary level. When teachers are supported to differentiate instruction, students have significantly higher literacy achievement scores, particularly for letter-word (g = +0.20, p = .014) and writing outcomes (g = +0.96, p < .001). The most successful programs took very different approaches to differentiation, including individualization, choice, and an alternate curriculum. However, across the studies, there was an alarming lack of information about the decision-making processes used to guide differentiation and there were no experimental or quasi-experimental studies on guided reading. This review may be helpful as schools clarify their vision for literacy differentiation.

Cover Photo: Gazing at the eyes of a primate's face can convey many features of a nearby conspecific all at once, such as its sex, age, identity, and emotional status. The interpretation of and response to these complex social cues are neural and behavioral processes that are thought to be mediated, in part, by the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin, which are the focus of this Special Issue. Our cover image shows the eye region of the face from the six species included in the articles of this Special Issue (from top to bottom): rhesus macaques, capuchin monkeys, chimpanzees, coppery titi monkeys, humans, and common marmosets. The rhesus macaque face (line 1) and human face (line 5) were cropped from original photos that are freely available under the

L’article part de l’observation que la recherche sur les théories du complot est actuellement en plein développement, mais qu’elle est également fragmentée. En particulier, il y a une division croissante entre les disciplines aux approches culturelles et qualitatives, telles que l’histoire, les études culturelles et l’ethnologie, et les disciplines aux approches quantitatives et empiriques telles que la psychologie et la science politique. L’article affirme que ce « grand fossé » doit être comblé pour que la recherche arrive à une compréhension authentique des théories du complot. Comme première étape dans ce processus de rapprochement, l’article examine, du point de vue des études américanistes, des recherches conduites de l’autre côté du « grand fossé », en psychologie et science politique. Il résume les travaux conduits dans ces domaines et en fait une évaluation critique, se centrant sur la méthodologie, les hypothèses considérant les croyances conspirationnistes comme dysfonctionnelles, les arguments parfois circulaires, le centrage sur les aspects individuels plutôt que sociaux et collectifs, l’indifférence quant à la définition du phénomène et l’ignorance des différences culturelles et historiques. L’article conclut en présentant des recommandations pour de futurs projets de recherches en collaboration.

In their 27 July Editorial (“Iceberg alert for NIH,” p. [390][1]), H. R. Bourne and M. O. Lively assert that “faculty, administrators, research institutions, and NIH must work together” to address the challenges of research funding during a time when the nation is struggling to regain its

As weddings in San Francisco and elsewhere fueled a national debate on the merits of same-sex marriage, little attention was paid to the perspectives and political aims of transgender people or Asian Americans. This June 18, 2005 bicoastal conversation with activists Pauline Park and Willy Wilkinson provided an opportunity to add to the dialogue, by reflecting on how same-sex marriage has affected two Asian American trans people engaged in political community work.
