Iranian student activism between authoritarianism and democratization: patterns of conflict and cooperation between the Office for the Strengthening of Unity and the regime

This article examines the role of student activism in enhancing or weakening democratization in authoritarian contexts, focusing on the case of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It contends that while numerous studies indicate that student activism has been crucial in processes of regime change, insufficient attention has been paid to the circumstances under which it contributes to strengthening authoritarian rule. The case of Iran demonstrates that there are two different ways in which this occurs. First, much like many other civil society actors, student activism can be co-opted and at times willingly so because of a coincidence of material and/or ideological interests. Second, even when student activism genuinely pushes for democratization and becomes independent and autonomous from political power, the authoritarian constraints in place can contribute to marginalize it and defeat it. The Iranian case highlights the problems student activism faces when it attempts to disengage from the dominant structures of authoritarian politics, and in line with Jamal's findings, demonstrates how authoritarian structural constraints can undermine the democratic aspirations of well-organised groups.

邪教防控对策研究——浙江省大学生邪教防控知识问卷调查

以邪教倾向性人格为切入点,以高校学生为主要研究对象,专门设计调查问卷。调研结果显示,大学生的主流是积极、健康的,有科学的人生观、价值观,家庭、学校生活和谐,对宗教和邪教也有正确的认识。但在当前社会形势下,大学生信仰状况仍呈现出矛盾性、非理性、多样性和可塑性的特征。部分大学生对当今社会表示不满;否认道德对人的发展的作用;对自己的前途感到迷茫;部分大学生有迷信思想,甚至对邪教抱一定的赞同态度。因此,必须加强对大学生的思想政治教育工作,培育其科学精神;加强高校反邪工作,充分发挥学生主观能动性;宣传宗教政策,挤压邪教生存空间;关心学生心理健康,重视学生精神需求;坚守网络阵地,净化网络环境;优化知识结构,提高学生综合素质;鼓励理论研究,探索邪教防控新对策。

The world at their fingertips? The mental wellbeing of online distance-based law students

In recent years there has been an increased interest in student mental wellbeing within higher education. In terms of legal education, much of this has been focused upon the United States (US) and Australia, with a lack of United Kingdom (UK)-based empirical data available. Although there is now extensive provision of online distance learning options available to UK (and other) law students, there is a notable lack of research into the possible challenges which are specific to this form of tertiary offering. This paper seeks to contribute to the development of research in this area by reporting upon, and analysing, preliminary data gathered from an empirical study of the mental wellbeing of online distance learning law students.     

Lecture recording: a new norm

Classroom recording systems (systems that capture audio or video footage of a taught session) are being adopted in universities globally in part encouraged by studies that suggest that use of recording technology is associated with enhanced student engagement and perceptions of a course. Notwithstanding increased adoption as a result of perceived benefits, approximately only 10% of higher education institutions have adopted comprehensive lecture recording systems. This study considered the benefits and advantages of classroom recording systems. Academic concerns over student attendance and use of recordings are discussed with the implications for teachers, cognisant of the synergistic relationship between teachers, students and their learning.
