Professor Nayanika Mookherjee awarded top Anthropology honour

The Medal is awarded by the Royal Anthropological Institute for outstanding contributions to anthropology, with an emphasis on fieldwork and a significant body of theoretical literature.

Shaping global conversations

Professor Mookherjee is Co-Director of our Institute of Advanced Studies, and her interdisciplinary work explores how societies remember violence and imagine fairer futures.

Her research spans war crimes tribunals, memorials, wartime sexual violence, graphic ethnography, digital surveillance and nearly three decades of fieldwork in Bangladesh.

Using ethnography and visual storytelling, Professor Mookherjee examines how memories of conflict shape politics, aesthetics, and ethics today.

Her work has shaped global conversations on ethical testimonies, public memories and gendered violence during conflict.

It has contributed substantially to the well-being of survivors and ethical discussions on sexual violence during conflict.

Far reaching concepts

In 2022, Professor Mookherjee theorised and edited the volume 'On Irreconciliation' to explore the politics of non-forgiveness, justice and the possibilities of accountability after conflict.

The work allowed an important examination of the rule of law within processes of unresolved genocidal injustices, debates relating to enslavement, memorialisation, removal of statues and institutional responses to bullying and harassment.

The concept of Irreconciliation has had extensive interdisciplinary interest and resonance.

Professor Mookherjee was invited to deliver the 2023 Firth lecture?on this theme at the Association of Social Anthropology of UK's annual conference.?

The lecture generated discussions among those researching genocide, state violence, reparative justice as well as those working on climate change and mental health.

The theoretical frameworks has been widely deployed by academic and non-academic communities within and beyond anthropology.

Professor Mookherjee is currently preparing a book on the 'Arts of Irreconciliation and the Futuring of Bangladesh' covering the debates of the liberation war of the country and the 2024 uprising.

Prestigious award

Professor Mookherjee said she was honoured to receive the 2025 Rivers Memorial Medal, adding: "The research among various communities has meant so much for my learning, thinking, writing and teaching.

"I am absolutely delighted with this recognition.

"For various survivor communities a critique of the symbolic performance of redressal has become very important.

"This creates the possibility of not only registering the impact of violence.

"It also creates a political space for them in the face of the corrosive realities that the lack of acknowledgement of injustice engenders.

"It is also important to critically understand various forms of irreconciliation and victimhood."

EUA vetam apelo do Conselho de Segurança por "pausa humanitária" na guerra entre Israel e Hamas



Por Caitlin Hu e Richard Roth, CNN Atualizado às 14h41 EDT, quarta-feira, 18 de outubro de 2023




Os Estados Unidos vetaram um projeto de resolução no Conselho de Segurança da ONU que pedia uma pausa humanitária na Gaza sitiada, gerando mais críticas à paralisia política no poderoso organismo global.

O breve projeto de resolução, proposto pelo Brasil, condenou os ataques terroristas de 7 de outubro em Israel pelo grupo militante palestino Hamas, que mataram mais de 1.400 pessoas, e pediu a libertação dos reféns.

O documento também apelou a todas as partes para que cumpram o direito internacional e protejam as vidas civis na Faixa de Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, em meio a uma feroz retaliação por parte de aviões de guerra israelenses. A comunidade internacional deve planejar "pausas humanitárias" nos combates para permitir a entrega de ajuda, afirmou.

Doze dos 15 membros do conselho aprovaram o projeto na quarta-feira, com a abstenção do Reino Unido e da Rússia, e o veto dos EUA.

Falando após a votação, a embaixadora dos EUA na ONU, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, explicou que os EUA queriam mais tempo para deixar a diplomacia americana em campo "se desenrolar". Os EUA já haviam adiado a votação da resolução.

Thomas-Greenfield também criticou o texto por não mencionar o direito de Israel à autodefesa — um ponto posteriormente ecoado pela representante britânica Barbara Woodward.

Desde os ataques do Hamas, Israel vem bombardeando Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, com ataques aéreos. Também cortou o acesso de 2 milhões de pessoas aos enclaves, incluindo alimentos, água e eletricidade.

Mais de 3.000 pessoas morreram nos ataques israelenses — incluindo mais de 1.000 crianças e dezenas de trabalhadores humanitários — e especialistas da ONU estão alertando sobre um desastre generalizado se a água e a eletricidade não forem restauradas.

Em Nova York, vários membros do Conselho de Segurança expressaram decepção e frustração pelo fracasso de uma declaração conjunta sobre a importância da ajuda e da proteção civil.

“Infelizmente, muito tristemente, o conselho mais uma vez não conseguiu adotar uma resolução sobre esses conflitos. Mais uma vez, o silêncio e a inação prevaleceram. Sem o verdadeiro interesse de longo prazo de ninguém”, disse o Embaixador da ONU no Brasil, Sergio Franca Danese, após o veto.

O Conselho de Segurança "perdeu uma oportunidade", disse o representante francês Nicolas de Rivière à imprensa após a votação. "Lamentamos profundamente que este texto tenha sido rejeitado", disse ele.

Falando ao conselho, a embaixadora dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, Lana Nusseibah, disse que a resolução não era um "texto perfeito", mas que seu país votou a favor dela "porque ela declara claramente os princípios básicos que devem ser mantidos e que este Conselho é obrigado a reforçar e defender.

Na semana passada, a Rússia propôs outra resolução pedindo um cessar-fogo humanitário em Gaza, que também não foi aprovada.

ACTIVE LEARNING METHODOLOGIES IN ENGLISH CLASSES: INTERACTION IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT


The coronavirus pandemic has intensified the creative use of technological resources that significantly promote dynamic communication among learners. This study investigated the contribution of active methodologies in remote English language classes for the interaction between basic level learners. Based on this goal, we analyzed the resources that promote the linguistic development of students through interaction in virtual environments, based on studies on active methodologies on learning, interaction and teaching of foreign languages and sociocultural theory. Data were generated from an online questionnaire applied to students' interactions in the Google Classroom environment, and the field observation journal of synchronous interactions in Google Meet and were analyzed in the light of grounded theory. By contrasting the instruments, we obtained three global categories that emerged from the comparison and contrast between them: flexibility, autonomy, and interaction. The categories showed that creative tasks developed through active methodologies, such as video production, autonomous activities such as prior access to video classes and flexible tasks such as the activities available in the weekly forums, allowed learners to identify possible errors regarding the use of the language and collaborate with colleagues, solving problems collaboratively and answering questions. The results confirm the contributions of active methodologies in the online environment.

Reported speech, a fundamental aspect of English grammar, involves conveying someone else's words or thoughts indirectly. It requires changes in pronouns, tenses, and sometimes word order. Now, consider the following statements:
I.In reported speech, the reporting verb can change from present tense to past tense when the reported statement is about a past event.
II.When reporting statements, modal verbs such as 'can' change to their past equivalents, such as 'could', to reflect the shift from direct to reported speech.
III.Reported speech often entails backshifting, where verb tenses shift back one tense in indirect speech compared to the original direct speech.

(Part II) Students’ skills


But graduation rates, while important, speak little to the quality of education received. The OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) reviews the extent to which students near the end of their compulsory education (usually around age 15) have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in modern societies, particularly in reading, mathematics and science.


In 2018, PISA tested students from 79 countries, including OECD countries, Brazil, the Russian Federation and South Africa. The students were tested on their reading ability, their skills in maths and level in sciences. Research shows that these skills are more reliable predictors of economic and social well-being than the number of years spent in school or in post -formal education. The average student in the OECD area scored 488. On average in the OECD, girls scored 491 compared with 485 for boys.


Estonia is the highest-performing OECD country, with average PISA scores of 526, followed by Japan and Korea with 520 points. The lowest performing OECD country, Colombia, has an average score of 406. This means that the gap between the highest and lowest performing OECD countries is 120 points.


 The best-performing school systems manage to provide highquality education to all students. In Canada, Estonia, Finland and Ireland for example, students tend to perform well regardless of their social background. In Israel and Luxembourg however, the gap between the students with the lowest socio-economic background and the students with the highest socio-economic background reaches more than 120 points, suggesting students’ socio-economic background tends to have an impact on their results. On average across OECD countries, there is a widening 89-point difference in PISA scores between the students with the highest and lowest socio-economic background.

Read the text and answer question.


    As one of the oldest and most influential foreign language pedagogical journals, The Modern Language Journal (MLJ) offers valuable insights into how technological advances have affected language teaching and learning at various points in history. The present article will review the proposed pedagogical use of technological resources by means of a critical analysis of articles published in the MLJ since its first edition in 1916. The assessment of how previous technical capabilities have been implemented for pedagogical purposes represents a necessary background for the assessment of the pedagogical potential of present-day technologies. In this article I argue that, whereas most “new technologies” (radio, television, VCR, computers) may have been revolutionary in the overall context of human interaction, it is not clear that they have achieved equal degrees of pedagogical benefit in the realm of second language teaching. I further claim that the pedagogical effectiveness of different technologies is related to four major questions: (a) Is increased technological sophistication correlated to increased pedagogical effectiveness? (b) Which technical attributes specific to new technologies can be profitably exploited for pedagogical purposes? (c) How can new technologies be successfully integrated into the curriculum? and (d) Do new technologies provide for an efficient use of human and material resources?

Text 1 – How children learn languages


Questions 31 to 39


How long does it take to learn a language?



Many different factors affect the time it takes. These include your child’s age, first language, their reason for BLANK I English and their teachers. You can help your child learn quickly by BLANK II them lots of opportunities to use English. It helps to have real reasons for BLANK III a language, rather than just BLANK IV grammar.

Is it true that boys and girls learn languages differently?

Yes. At early ages, girls tend to develop language more quickly. Remember that it’s OK for children to develop at different speeds. It will be more similar by secondary school age. However, by this stage children might think that languages are ‘more of a girl thing’. Attitudes to learning can have a big impact on educational success so it’s important to find ways to encourage your child and help them enjoy their learning.

Do primary and secondary children learn languages differently?

Yes, there are differences.

Primary school children are learning their first and second languages at the same time. It’s really important to support both languages. Children with a strong foundation in their first language will find it easier to learn a second language. Encourage your child to play, sing and read in both their first and second languages. Remember to plan separate times to focus on each language. If you say something in English and then in another language, your child will automatically listen for their stronger language and ‘tune out’ the other language.

Teenagers are interested in exploring their personalities and identities. This creates lots of opportunities to use popular culture, films, TV, music and video games. Teenagers also enjoy challenging authority, which provides opportunities for debates and discussion.

Will learning another language affect how well my child does at school?

Multilingual children learn at a young age that they can express their ideas in more than one way. This helps their thought process and makes them better, more flexible, learners. Research has found that children who speak more than one language do better in school, and have better memories and problem-solving skills.

What kind of learner is my child?

Watch your child playing. What do they enjoy doing? Puzzles and problem-solving? Physical play and sports? Word games? Writing stories? Creative play? Try doing these types of activities in English and make a note of what your child responds to best. Alternatively, ask your child to create in English their own one-week ‘dream timetable of activities’. Let them choose how to present it. For example, they could act it out, prepare a written fact file, make a video, draw pictures, go on a treasure hunt or make a scrap book.

NO KID-DING Why you should never let your kids take a bag on the plane − even if it's free


(§ 1) A TRAVEL expert has revealed you should never let your kids bring a bag on the plane if you want a stress-free journey.


(§ 2) Experienced flyer, Vanessa Grant recommends parents don't let their kids take a bag with them after sharing her recent experience of travelling with her kids - aged 8 and 11.


(§ 3) "Smart packing is what really saved us," she said.


(§ 4) Vanessa did two long-haul flights with her family from Canada to Indonesia which went smoothly because the kids didn't have bags, she claims.


(§ 5) It is important to "instil a sense of responsibility" in kids however, it is not worth the stress of tracking down a lost backpack __ a busy international airport, according to the travel expert.


(§ 6) Vanessa explained: "The stakes are just too high and even replacing a charging cord can be pricey at a duty-free shop, let alone a whole backpack's worth of stuff."


(§ 7) It is also important to bring the right type of carry-on when travelling with your family, to make your life a lot easier.


(§ 8) A small rolling suitcase is perfect for long-haul flights and "is like the clown car of carry-ons".


(§ 9) Vanessa added: "It fits a change of clothes for three of us, plus toiletries and some snacks."


(§ 10) Instead of storing your carry-on in the overhead bins you should put it __ the seat of your shortest child so they'll be able to rest their feet on it, Vanessa recommends.


(§ 11) This clever hack will stop your child from complaining as it is "uncomfortable to have your legs hanging for hours".


(§ 12) Packing a change of clothes for everyone will ensure you have a smoother journey, according to the experienced flyer.


(§ 13) "Spills and vomiting can happen to anyone," she said.


(§ 14) Vanessa added: "One of my kids lost multiple socks __ the plane and in the hotel.


(§ 15) "Luckily most airlines give passengers a little package including a toothbrush and toothpaste, ear plugs, an eye mask and socks so we had a few extra pairs."


(§ 16) Bringing snacks for your kids can end up saving a lot of money as they likely won't eat all the food offered by airlines, "unless your child is a unicorn".


(§ 17) Vanessa also recommends bringing an empty water bottle you can fill up before getting on the plane.


(§ 18) Most kids on flights are thrilled to get "hours of uninterrupted screen time, both on their tablets and the screens on the back of seats in front of them".


(§ 19) However, screens even for kids can get old quickly.


(§ 20) Parents should bring alternative activities for their children.


(§ 21) Vanessa brought a book, notepad and pens which kept them entertained throughout the flight.


(§ 22) Forgetting either your charger or headphones can spoil the whole journey, the travel expert claims.


(§ 23) Parents will need the chargers to make sure their children can stay entertained on the screens.


(§ 24) "We brought headphones for everyone," Vanessa said.


(§ 25) She added: "No one—including you—wants to hear the sound effects from your kid's favourite video game for hours on end."
