Preston, John; Chadderton, Charlotte; Kitagawa, Kaori – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2014
The term "state of exception" has been used by Italian political theorist Giorgio Agamben to explain the ways in which emergencies, crises and disasters are used by governments to suspend legal processes.

Herreid, Clyde Freeman – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2005
Every time an English professor assigns a novel, poem, or play for a class to analyze, he or she is using the case study method. Why shouldn't scientists do the same? They don't always have to write their own material. After all, there are some pretty good writers out there, and some of them actually slip a lot of science into the nooks and…
