Full textAbstract:
The volume is a collection of the papers from a study seminar held at the University of Florence Faculty of Education and Training Sciences in March 2012 entitled Formazione e orientamento al lavoro. Le sfide della disabilità adulta. The aim of the initiative was to highlight a topic/problem which has little or no resonance in civil society, or in study and research contexts, namely, training and career guidance for disabled adults. The volume also recounts a course of studies carried out by Le Rose, a cooperative from the municipality of Florence, involving empirical research on the relationship between disability and job placement. As well as proposing an interdisciplinary and multifaceted reflection on a definitely innovative topic, the intention is to emphasize the central place of work in the lives of all people and the role that suitable education and training plays in constructing the adult identity. Care for the place where the job training is carried out, as well as attention to the relationships and actions pursued by the workers undertaking to develop job placement programmes, are central dimensions for the construction of a renewed culture of inclusion, citizenship and social and personal recognition.

Stead, Lisa. Reframing Vivien Leigh. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190906504.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Reframing Vivien Leigh takes a fresh new look at one of the twentieth century’s most iconic stars. Focusing on Vivien Leigh as a distinctly archival subject, the book draws upon original oral history work with curators, archivists, and fan collectives and extensive research within a network of official and unofficial archives around the world to produce alternative stories about her place within film history. The study examines an intriguing variety of historical correspondence, costume, scripts, photography, props, and memorabilia in order to reframe the dominant narratives that have surrounded her life and career. While Leigh’s glamour, collaborations with Laurence Olivier, and mental health form important coordinates for any study of the star, the book foregrounds a range of alternative contexts that emphasize her creative agency, examining her off-screen labor in areas such as theatrical training, adaptation, war work, producing, protesting, and interactions with her fan base. Part I examines a variety of case studies of Leigh’s screen and stage craft as they emerge from the archive, looking at Leigh’s varied collaborations, her investment in faithful adaptations, and her vocal training. It interconnects star studies, feminist film studies, and performance studies to produce a new take on stardom as creative process rather than stardom as image. Part II turns toward unofficial archives and local museum collections, centering the work of the archivist and the amateur collector and their impact on women’s star histories. It explores Leigh’s archival afterlives as they are constructed by a range of agents and institutions beyond the “official” star archive.

Williams, Erica Lorraine. Aprosba. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252037931.003.0006.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the racial and class dynamics of Aprosba (Association of Prostitutes of Bahia), the only organization in Bahia run by and for sex workers, as well as its impact on the lives of some of its members. It first provides a background on Aprosba's history and activities and goes on to describe its place in state, regional, and transnational networks of sex workers' associations. It then considers the ethnography of Aprosba members in relation to the theoretical and political distinctions related to terms such as prostitute and sex worker as well as into the debate regarding whether sex work can be understood as a practice or an identity. It also explores the activism and organizing efforts of grassroots Brazilian sex workers on the local, national, and transnational scenes, focusing on Aprosba's training initiative called Projeto sem Vergonha (Without Shame Project). The chapter highlights the racial politics of sex work in Salvador, and especially the politics of naming in Aprosba's preference for the term prostituta (prostitute) over profissional do sexo or trabalhadora do sexo (sex worker).

Full textAbstract:
The book offers a new outlook on social, cultural and educational work with young people. It is the perspective of social pedagogy: a theoretical and practical perspective that has been developing in continental Europe over the last 150 years. Social pedagogy poses a way of acting that places young people at the center of socio-educational work, putting their decisions and actions into value. It aims to accompany them in their life process of personal construction within the framework of the community in which they live. The book is organized into three large blocks of chapters. The introduction aims to prepare readers for the social pedagogy approach to work with young people. It briefly outlines its current situation in the world and, relate it to the main professions in which it is embodied in different socio-cultural contexts: social pedagogy, social education, and social work. The first block presents the framework and socio-pedagogical, theoretical, and practical parameters in which work with young people takes place in Europe and Latin America. The second block of chapters deals with youth policies and the training and professionalization of educators and those who work with young people. The last block focuses on some socio-educational practices with young people that include youth justice, social inclusion process, youth participation in digital life or transition to adult life. The book is based on a wide perspective of young people from cultural diversity. All the contributions of this book are based on research and practical experiences.

Full textAbstract:
The achievements of technological sciences largely determine the progress and development of all branches of the economy. That is why in the training system of production engineers, the course project occupies a special place. This independent work of students is not only one of the fundamental stages in the preparation for the final bachelor’s project, but it also largely determines the qualification as a future engineer. The book presents the content of the course project as it lists the main issues to be covered including the analysis of the working drawing of a part, the evaluation of producibility, the selection of workpieces, the evaluation of allowances for machining, the calculation of cutting modes and the standard piece times, the process of planning an operation sequence for workpiece machining, the preparation of special technological charts as well as economy-related calculations.

Full textAbstract:
Community musical theatre projects have played important roles in engaging young people of diverse ethnicities in multicultural and religious Malaysia to cross borders, deconstruct stereotypes, appreciate differences, and build interethnic peace. This essay provides insights into the strategies and dialogic approaches employed in two such community musical theatre projects that promote peace-building in Penang. The emphasis is on the making of musical theatre through participatory research, collaboration, ensemble work, and group discussions about alternative history, social relationships and cultural change. The projects also stress partnerships with the multiethnic stakeholders, communities, traditional artists, university students, and school teachers who are involved in the projects. Equally important is the creation of a safe space for intercultural dialogue, skill training, research, and assessments to take place; this a working space that allows for free and open participation, communication, play, and creative expressions for all participants.

Full textAbstract:
It is no understatement to say that Ruth Bell Graham significantly shaped her husband. This chapter appraises her creativity and theological vision by examining several distinctive ways that Ruth publicly served God with Billy: her direct involvement in the crusades; her editing and writing work; her public appearances and board service; and her advocacy of particular projects, such as the Cove Training Center. Moreover, media outlets regularly covered Ruth’s domestic life, endowing it with public significance. This chapter examines what Ruth represented for Billy’s followers, especially with respect to Ruth’s final public episode, the 2007 controversy over her burial place. Ruth’s life epitomizes the challenges and opportunities of being a “private woman” married to a “public man.” In exploring her impact on Billy, this chapter examines the dynamics of clergy marriages and contributes to a more historically textured story about twentieth-century marriage and gender.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter charts the relationships between three large areas of background knowledge and professional practice, at the intersection of which everyday work in forensic mental health takes place. We describe the three underpinning models (biomedical, psychological, and sociological) the differences between them in training and in outlook, and the relationship of each to the legal context in which all must operate. Representing different models of human problems and distress, we recognize that sometimes there is friction between them. Their diverse perspectives notwithstanding, these models can be integrated, and they all have an indispensable part to play in how we understand and respond to the difficulties of working with people with mental health problems who also break the law. We illustrate this with reference to how services are delivered, and conclude by discussing the role played by Multi- Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in England and Wales.

Full textAbstract:
No one in the United Kingdom, India, or the dominions forecasted the magnitude of the war efforts that took place between 1914 and 1918. Just as no one in Whitehall predicted a British Expeditionary Force (BEF) of sixty divisions, no one in Melbourne foresaw an Australian Imperial Force (AIF) of five divisions in France. But they were not entirely without some solid building blocks—common staff procedures, training, organizations, and equipment, plus a small cadre of highly-trained professionals—for the massive task that confronted them. Chapter 3 explores three aspects of the Great War experience for the British, Indian, and dominion armies: (a) their expansion; (b) national control; and (c) their ability to work together. Based on an assessment of how tactical lessons were integrated across armies, how readily formations were attached or detached between national contingents, and how fire was controlled across national lines, it concludes that they worked quite well together.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter traces the early evolution of nursing from the mid-nineteenth century through the early twentieth century, with particular emphasis on how nursing care became both gendered and racialized in civilian society. Focusing on the history of the Army Nurse Corps (ANC), it explores the relationship between the military and civilian populace to illuminate trends in nursing practices, debates about work, and concerns about war taking place in the larger civil society. It also examines how war and military nursing needs shaped the evolution of the modern nursing profession and how nursing became embroiled in the politics of intimate care, along with the implications for gender roles and race relations that permeated social relationships and interactions in civilian society. The chapter points to the Civil War as the transformative moment in the history of nursing in the United States, moving nursing from an unpaid obligation to a paid occupation. Finally, it discusses the impact of the introduction of formal nurse training during the last quarter of the nineteenth century on African American nurses.

Full textAbstract:
Daniel Goleman, the literary catalyst for worldwide interest in emotional intelligence, sets the stage for this groundbreaking book in his foreword explaining its landmark importance. People can be educated to be more emotionally intelligent, and this particular type of education takes place through a specific type of parenting at home, formal education at school, and training and coaching at work. As a result of this education, extensively described in this comprehensive book, people's lives can be improved; they can become more effective, productive and content in what they do. Some of the best known researchers, professors and practitioners worldwide team up in this work to recognize and reflect the rapidly growing global interest in scientifically-based applications of emotional intelligence in education, to show readers the diverse applications of EI, and to guide them in applying what is known about this topic. The breadth of coverage, array of experts, international scope and clear, practical tone of this book will appeal to parents, educators, psychologists, counselors, trainers, and corporate coaches, mental health and human resource practitioners and healthcare providers. Parents and educators need to perform their caregiving roles and teach with emotional intelligence if children are to develop the skills and discernment needed to cope with the complexities of an increasingly globalized world. Workplaces that apply emotional intelligence are more pleasant places in which to work, provide a more fulfilling experience for employees and are, in the end, more productive organizations. Emotional intelligence can be developed by most individuals to increase performance in many areas of life. And a growing body of evidence indicates EI skills may improve physical health, as well as mental health. This book will become a benchmark for future researchers and practitioners.

Seton, Rosemary. Western Daughters in Eastern Lands. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216034483.
Full textAbstract:
This book provides a compelling narrative history of the experiences and achievements of female British missionaries in China, India, and Africa during the 19th century and first half of the 20th century—the first such account available. Despite the fact that by the early 20th century female missionaries began to outnumber their male counterparts, there are few publications that document the contributions of women to the missionary movement against a backdrop of civil unrest, famine, and war. Western Daughters in Eastern Lands: British Missionary Women in Asia provides accurate and insightful information to rectify this glaring omission. In this book, author Rosemary Seton draws upon memoirs, letters, diaries, and mission records to create a unique and fascinating history of the British women whose sense of vocation took them to the East. As most British missionary women of this period were Anglicans, Baptists, Congregationalists, and Methodists, the focus is upon Protestant missionaries; Catholics are also included, however. Through these sources, a clear picture of women missionaries emerges: their social background and motivation; their lives on the mission-field and their place in mission hierarchies; their selection and training; and their educational, evangelical, and medical work. The book concludes with an assessment of their achievements and impact on foreign societies.

Full textAbstract:
Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on the History of Mathematics Education. September 16-20, 2019, at the CIRM (Luminy), France The history of mathematics education is an interdisciplinary research area that is experiencing a significant development and this book presents recent work in this area. This book is the result of the sixth conference ICHME (International Conference on the History of Mathematics Education) that took place at CIRM, Luminy (France) from 16th to 20th of September 2019. Nowadays, the history of education is of the utmost importance for assessing the general development of the educational system(s) in which mathematics education occurs. Usually, the history of education is confined to history within a given civilization, country or nation. However, the quality of the research for a given nation is enhanced when situated among various specific cases, and comparative studies provide essential tools to broaden the perspectives to an international level. Moreover, mathematics, as a school discipline, has always functioned at the crossroads between general education and professional training, thus relating its teaching history to professional working environments as well. The themes dealt with in this book reflect this wide area of research. The book contains 28 chapters grouped in four parts concerning teaching of particular mathematical domains, teaching in cultural and national contexts, pedagogical movements and reforms, and methods of teaching.

KHAYZURAN’S MANIPULATION of three generations of Abbasid caliphs and courtiers make her probably the best known concubine of the Abbasid court, a place and time still famous as the backdrop for the stories of The Arabian Nights. As the mother of al-Hadi (r. 785–786) and Harun al-Rashid (r. 786–809), she provides us an early example of the social mobility and wealth that an enslaved woman could attain in Islamic society. Nabia Abbott, a pioneer scholar in English on early Muslim women, wrote a biography of Khayzuran. According to her work in the Arabic sources, slavers in Yemen kidnapped this lithe girl, named her Khayzuran (“Slender Reed”), and put her through musical training in Mecca to increase her value before selling her to the caliph on the Hajj. After Khayzuran secured power in the palace, she sent royal envoys to Yemen to search for her family. They found her father to be no more than a roughly dressed freedman working in the fields. This slave concubine who became queen mother influenced royal appointments and dominated the courtiers, her spouse, and her sons, enabling her to funnel incredible wealth to her own treasury. At the time of her death, it was recorded that her yearly income consumed half the land taxes of the empire. Her estate included a huge palace with over 1,000 slaves to serve her, gold, jewels, and 18,000 silk brocade dresses. Not bad for a skinny farm kid from Yemen....

Full textAbstract:
Pauli Murray was one of the young activists that Mary Church Terrell mentored. In the 1940s, Murray enrolled at Howard University Law School and went on to graduate as the only woman and top student in her class. In the 1930s, the convergence of several important Black male intellectuals at Howard University, including Abram Harris, E. Franklin Frazier, and Ralph Bunche, had cemented a new formal model of the academically trained Black male public intellectual. When Murray enrolled in the 1940s, she experienced great sexism from these Black male intellectuals. She termed their treatment of her, “Jane Crow.” While she went on to have a storied career as a legal expert, Episcopal priest, poet, and writer, all of which place her firmly in the tradition of the race woman, her identity as both a woman and queer person in the 1940s and 1950s collided with the Howard model of public intellectual work. This chapter brings together Murray’s time and training at Howard, her archives, and an examination of her two autobiographies to suggest that her concept of Jane Crow grew out of the collision of race-based sexual politics and limited ideas among Black men about who could provide intellectual leadership for Black people. Moreover, Jane Crow exposed the heterosexist proclivities of Black public leadership traditions, and offers a framework for thinking about how Black women negotiated gender and sexual politics even as they devoted their lives to theorizing new strategies for racial uplift.

Full textAbstract:
Literary studies are being transformed today by the expansive and disruptive forces of globalization. More works than ever circulate worldwide in English and in translation, and even national traditions are increasingly seen in transnational terms. To encompass this expanding literary universe, scholars and teachers need to expand their linguistic and cultural resources, rethink their methods and training, and reconceive the place of literature and criticism in the world. This book integrates comparative, postcolonial, and world-literary perspectives to offer a comprehensive overview of comparative studies and its prospects in a time of great upheaval and great opportunity. The book looks both at institutional forces and at key episodes in the life and work of comparatists who have struggled to define and redefine the terms of literary analysis over the past two centuries, from Johann Gottfried Herder and Germaine de Staël to Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Franco Moretti, and Emily Apter. With literary examples ranging from Ovid and Kālidāsa to James Joyce, Yoko Tawada, and the internet artists Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, the book shows how the main strands of comparison—philology, literary theory, colonial and postcolonial studies, and the study of world literature—have long been intertwined. A deeper understanding of comparative literature's achievements, persistent contradictions, and even failures can help comparatists in literature and other fields develop creative responses to today's most important questions and debates. Amid a multitude of challenges and new possibilities for comparative literature, the book provides an important road map for the discipline's revitalization.

Maddock, Richard, and Richard L. Fulton. Motivation, Emotions, and Leadership. Praeger, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400687815.
Full textAbstract:
Leadership is motivation and motivation is leadership, say the authors of this important and unique study. The two elements are inseparable, but until now no one has actually conceptualized motivation in a useful way to demonstrate and analyze the connection between it and leadership. The key for leaders is dealing with the emotions that underlie and activate motivation. Maddock and Fulton provide a highly successful, proven, and replicable approach not only to motivate people, but also to train them to lead others. The authors develop an 11 level structure of human motivation that defines and describes motivation in simple, graphic, all-inclusive language. They then show how leaders can use this motivational hierarchy to solve complex problems in the workplace. The result is a blueprint to help executives in all types of organizations manage more effectively, and as they do so, to motivate and truly lead the people who depend on them for guidance and direction. Maddock and Fulton offer several scenarios to show how their ideas work in practice. In the vertical fix they demonstrate how motives that get out of synch with each other can be re-aligned, eliminating the chaos that would otherwise occur. In the lateral fix they show how a person who may be functioning at the extreme edge of motivation can be moved back toward the center, a place where the person's effect on others is most and best felt. Well documented throughout, their book will be important reading for training and development professionals, specialists in organizational behavior, and executives at all levels in public and private sectors.

Darüber hinaus widmen sich die Beiträge konkreten Lehr- und Lerngegenständen, der Diskussion um Schwerpunkte in der Ausbildung von Lehrpersonen sowie der kulturellen Dimensionen des Sprachunterrichts. Die Beiträge richten sich an Forschende und in der Praxis tätige Personen und können diesen neue Impulse und Anregungen für ihre Tätigkeiten geben. The XVI International Conference of German Teachers (IDT), which in 2017 took place in Freiburg (CH), went under the slogan “Designing bridges - connecting through German: people – environments – cultures”. The goals of the IDT are: ? to inform about the current state of research and developments in the subjects German as a Foreign Language (DaF) and German as a Second Language (DaZ); ? to promote the cooperation of DaF and DaZ stakeholders worldwide and within the German-speaking countries; ? to highlight relevant topics within educational politics. The conference proceedings (in three volumes) reflect these objectives in a variety of ways and outline them in a forward-looking manner. Volume 1 brings together a selection of the keynote speeches given at IDT 2017. The contributions trace the lines of development of the subject, discuss current fields of work and demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the field by including reference sciences such as linguistics, language acquisition research and multilingual didactics. In addition, the contributions are devoted to concrete teaching and learning subjects, the discussion of focal points in teacher training and the cultural dimensions of language teaching.

Full textAbstract:
In the twentieth century, Americans have increasingly looked to the schools--and, in particular, to the nation's colleges and universities--as guardians of the cherished national ideal of equality of opportunity. With the best jobs increasingly monopolized by those with higher education, the opportunity to attend college has become an integral part of the American dream of upward mobility. The two-year college--which now enrolls more than four million students in over 900 institutions--is a central expression of this dream, and its invention at the turn of the century constituted one of the great innovations in the history of American education. By offering students of limited means the opportunity to start higher education at home and to later transfer to a four-year institution, the two-year school provided a major new pathway to a college diploma--and to the nation's growing professional and managerial classes. But in the past two decades, the community college has undergone a profound change, shifting its emphasis from liberal-arts transfer courses to terminal vocational programs. Drawing on developments nationwide as well as in the specific case of Massachusetts, Steven Brint and Jerome Karabel offer a history of community colleges in America, explaining why this shift has occurred after years of student resistance and examining its implications for upward mobility. As the authors argue in this exhaustively researched and pioneering study, the junior college has always faced the contradictory task of extending a college education to the hitherto excluded, while diverting the majority of them from the nation's four-year colleges and universities. Very early on, two-year college administrators perceived vocational training for "semi-professional" work as their and their students' most secure long-term niche in the educational hierarchy. With two thirds of all community college students enrolled in vocational programs, the authors contend that the dream of education as a route to upward mobility, as well as the ideal of equal educational opportunity for all, are seriously threatened. With the growing public debate about the state of American higher education and with more than half of all first-time degree-credit students now enrolled in community colleges, a full-scale, historically grounded examination of their place in American life is long overdue. This landmark study provides such an examination, and in so doing, casts critical light on what is distinctive not only about American education, but American society itself.
