Is Foreign Affairs an academic peer-reviewed source or it is an academic-style magazine?
Relevant answer
Answer
To my knowledge, Foreign Affairs is an academic-style magazine rather than a peer-reviewed academic journal. It publishes high-quality articles on international relations, foreign policy, and global affairs, but its articles are typically written by policy experts, diplomats, scholars, and journalists rather than being peer-reviewed research papers. While Foreign Affairs is respected in academic and policy-making circles and is often cited in academic work, its articles do not undergo the rigorous peer-review process standard in scholarly journals.

Dear colleagues,
I am preparing questionnaires for online admission with a population of the final grades of elementary and second grades of high schools.
In the research design, I have a student questionnaire and parent questionnaire.
I am planning to use Google Forms as a platform for data collection.
My question is this: Which would be the best way to anonymously connect data from student and parent questionnaires?

Answer
Hi Ivan Beroš - is the nature of the questions very sensitive? I ask because generally you can offer to anonymise the results when you code the results and store any results with identifiers in an institution's secure cloud server.
Very best wishes, James.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Professor Steven Lukes for an online series on explaining political science and political theory concepts organized by the International Association for Political Science Students (IAPSS). Having cited Professor Lukes' works on the concept of power in many an undergraduate essay, it was an honour to hear his perspectives on the application of his theory to contemporary phenomena and on the future of research on this topic. I hope that this video will be a useful resource for students learning about the third dimension of power theory in class. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsYkduHaAQU

Thank you for the Gaventa analysis and the ‘power cube’ approach.
What this analysis makes undeniably clear is that power is involved in creating social realities.
I would add that legitimate uses of power respect the right and ability of an individual consciousness to create its own reality. Illegitimate uses of power deny the existence of any reality but one.
The above paragraph deserves deep thought, because it is relevant to all that we see around us. E.g., the power of nature is legitimate!
Sincerely, Kurt

I've been working on understanding the underrepresentation of women in CS and was wondering if you are still working on new projects on Physics.
Relevant answer
Answer
I work as a socio-cultural anthropologist and haven't had a focused investigation of the representation of women in physics. However, I once studied the enrollment of women in all the disciplines in the University of Nigeria -- one of the three largest here -- and it was found that women were in majority in all but the faculties of engineering and medicine.

I've been researching education for democracy and its off-shoots, such as democratic education, citizenship education, global citizenship, and social justice education, etc., for over a decade, and have found a lot of references to the implicit and explicit need for democracy but it is not easy to find specific programs that centrally focus on the complexity of democracy (political literacy, power relations, social justice, stopping war, poverty and discrimination, etc.). The normative, hegemonic approach is to focus on elections, political parties and mainstream institutions, which are important, but which under-value the vast array of actions, engagements and movements required to build a more decent society. As education is, I believe, a fundamental pillar to building a democracy, I would be interested in learning from colleagues of programs they are aware of that cultivate counter-hegemonic consciousness, those that can effectively empower marginalized and non-marginalized students, and also seek to address social inequalities that are often promoted and re-produced in and through formal education. Thank you, and I look forward to your responses.

I am interested in the education of medical students, and particularly in the democratic development of their critical consciousness for social justice in health. The expanding knowledge of social determinants of health, and a number of crises resulting from neoliberal poiitics, climate change, new infections and antibiotic resistance underlines the need for greater consciousness raising of our students for a range of inequalities in societies globally that have negative impacts on health and life expectancy. For medical students, the transformative learning that achieves this is authentic engagement and reflection on 'service learning projects' in disadvantaged communities. Indications suggest that the current generation of students are prosocial, global in outlook, and want to engage in humanitarian concerns.

Has the 'Informer-Fi- Dead Culture" become institutionalized in some societies due to the fear of criminals and the inability of police to protect citizens?
Relevant answer
Having worked and researched in a Jamaican Garrison Community I am thoroughly acquainted with the "Informer-fi-dead' sub-culture. The Informer- fi-dead-sub culture operates under the spiritual protection of the Bible verse "He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life" and alongside the popular rhyme 'Hear no evil, see no evil, do no evil'.
The Informer-fi-dead sub-culture is very effective in garrison communities ruled by Drug Dons and criminal gangsters. Because of the poverty of Jamaican Garrisons residents depend fully on the Don and his support. In most cases he is seen as a Saviour, the Messiah. He is referred to lovingly as ' Fada', 'The Big Man' or' Boss Man'
The heavy reliance on the Don and the gangsters gives them power over the residence and in time they disconnect the Garrison community from the Jamaican State , setting up military systems,social systems and courts.
Strong interpersonal relationships are built up between these criminal elements and residents learn that to inform is treason punished mainly by death. The strength of the culture institutionalized by the Don and his criminal gangsters far supersedes an academic and disciplined culture in educational institutions. The strength of the Informer-fi-dead sub-culture serves to negatively impact discipline in garrison schools and in the country in general. If a student is seriously wounded or killed in the presence of the entire student population no student will give evidence because all claim not to have seen what happened. In the same manner if a student injures a teacher in the presence of the entire student population no student will ever see and issues constantly slips through the cracks.
There is no doubt that it is the strength and force of the Informer-fi- dead Law that keeps Jamaican Garrison Communities operational.
