This is the dramatic story of the death of the only English professional footballer deemed by law to have been murdered. A key member of Aston Villa's 1923 all-star team, Tommy Ball rose from the obscurity of Durham pit village football to play a starring role in the world's most famous team and was considered a likely future England international. His killer, Somerset man George Stagg, was a former soldier and policeman who became his landlord and neighbour. A difficult relationship culminated in their fateful meeting on the evening of Armistice Day in 1923. Sentenced to death in controversial circumstances, Stagg escaped the noose by the intervention of the country's first Labour Home Secretary. The exact circumstances of the shooting were never legally established and, for almost a century, have been the subject of considerable speculation. After diligent research, Colin Brown believes he may have the answers.

In this teaching paper, the author reviews the teaching and learning literature on student peer review in higher education to generate a list of best practices, as well as a list of accessible and immediate research questions. The author then reflects on their experience implementing these in the form of a peer review-intensive senior capstone seminar in the Spring of 2019. While the course received high evaluations and allowed students to generate a useful writing portfolio, finding evidence of the effectiveness of extensive peer review remains difficult and uncertain. The paper includes a number of templates and options for building an extensive peer review process into upper-level political science courses, and discusses the trade-offs experienced in scheduling class time for peer review and teaching students how to give (and receive) effective comments on each other's work.

Le SISAR se caractérise par la volonté de partager les responsabilités gestionnaires avec des acteurs locaux afin de fournir une meilleure gestion de la ressource en eau aux habitants dans le milieu rural. Ainsi, il prétend pouvoir combattre des indicateurs de précarité et contribuer au maintien de la vie utile des systèmes techniques d'approvisionnement de la ressource en eau. Le SISAR propose effectivement une mise en partenariat à long terme entre ses experts et des acteurs locaux, un projet collectif de la gouvernance d'un bien commun, ayant pour but de promouvoir plus généralement l'esprit collectif dans les communautés rurales.
