Procedures, Justice, and Choice In Basic Education Policy

This article is about the way in which justice and procedures are related in the development of policies meeting new claims to choice in basic education. Building upon established approaches to procedural justice, I propose to study the interaction between questions of justice and procedures by way of the "gate model" as developed by Peters (1993) and Habermas (1994). This model is then applied in an analysis of education policymaking in Great Britain and Germany to demonstrate how the procedures through which political decision making is channelled reflect persisting problems of substantive justice.     

Women in science—The astronomical brain drain

After briefly reviewing the literature on the position of women in science, this article reports the results of a study concerning the long-term employment profiles of doctoral students of radio astronomy. In particular, attention is focused on explaining the divergencies in the subsequent career paths of males and females. Indicators of the ‘quality’ of students' doctoral work are employed to demonstrate that the relative lack of career success shown by women astronomers is most likely to be the result of social factors concerning their role within the family rather than any inherent lack of ability as a scientist or direct discrimination in employment.
