Bioregionalists have championed the utility ofthe concept ofthe watershed as an organizingframeworkfor thought and action directed to understanding and implementing appropriate and respectful human interaction with particular pieces of land. In a creative analogue to the watershed, permaculturist Arthur Cetz has recently introduced the term "foodshed" to facilitate critical thought about where ...

My first reply in this symposium is to Reis regarding his elaborations of Mitchell’s ideas that lend to comparisons of the Relationalists and the Intersubjectivists.

Statistical learning has become a central theme in computational studies of intelligence, with important but largely independent developments in perceptual tasks like object recognition and in conceptual reasoning (Mitchell (1997)). Typically, the former involves clustering and regression over quantitative representations based on real linear spaces ( n R ), whereas the latter involves symbolic...

Existing evidence suggests that high stakes exams result in little increased learning among students (Amrein & Berliner, 2002; Klein, Hamilton, McCaffrey, & Stetcher, 2000; Koretz, Mitchell, & Stetcher, 1996). Yet, given the federal mandates for greater accountability, such as No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation and Race to the Top policies, and the “pervasive testing culture” (Moses & Nann...
