Working the Ruins
From some of the leading feminist scholars in education comes a collection of writings discussing how they use feminist poststructural theory in their classrooms and research. Drawing on real-life situations in their work, they show how using this theory has transformed their work. Topics covered include theory in everyday life, ethnography, writing the body, emotions in the classroom, qualitative research, and gossip as a counter-discourse. The range of topics, processes, and styles presented provides the reader with a variety of examples, illustrating the diversity and power of the effects of poststructural theory, as well as showing the possibilities of work still to be done.
Vicious Attraction
lt's time baby, come home now. You have wandered for too long. "He spoke in a calm tone as if he was coaxing a small kid to give up on her bad habit. My fingers tightly gripped each side of my dress and tears welled up in my eyes. I whipped my head at Adan for protection but my heart stuttered when witness the look of betrayal on his face. "Please let me explain. “ I pleaded in my mind. But he wasn' t looking at me. "What if do t let you take her then?" This time Adan spoke and a ray of hope sparkled in my heart. He snickered. I can see my wife has thoroughly pleased you. Trust me, don' twant any bloodshed. Give my wife back and I will leave without wagging war.
The New York Testament
The New York Testament: A Story of God in Todays World is an attempt to project a childlike faith onto the backdrop of a faithless world. Times may change but faith is eternal. We have learned to push back at the foundations of our being but we seem to find that we leave some of the best of ourselves behind in the wake. Giovanni Ferro attempts to capture the agony of a faithless world and juxtapose it with the beauty of grace and spirit that could sustain us. His methods are the fictional use of characters mixed with religious mainstays. His lifelong love of faith is mixed with the reality of a world that believes it has moved on from faith. It is time for a different messiah, never before has the time been ripe for new thoughts on old religion; a break from and a cleaving to the faiths of old. Would Jesus be welcomed today; would he even be recognized as a transformational and authoritative figure for our era, or would he be rejected and relegated to bygone times? Race, religion, and intelligent dissent are the opposing forces in this book. Take a ride through the streets of New York and watch the story unfold.
Personal Effects
In Personal Effects, Holdstein and Bleich compile a volume that cuts across the grain of current orthodoxy. These editors and contributors argue that it is fundamental in humanistic scholarship to take account of the personal and collective experiences of scholars, researchers, critics, and teachers. With this volume, then, these scholars move us to explore the intersections of the social with subjectivity, with voice, ideology, and culture, and to consider the roles of these in the work of academics who study writing and literature. Taken together, the essays in this collection carry forward the idea that the personal, the candidly subjective and intersubjective, must be part of the subject of study in humanities scholarship. They propose an understanding of the personal in scholarship that is more helpful because more clearly anchored in human experience.
Learning Teaching from Experience
What do teachers learn 'on the job'? And how, if at all, do they learn from 'experience'? Leading researchers from the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada offer international, research-based perspectives on a central problem in policy-making and professional practice - the role that experience plays in learning to teach in schools. Experience is often weakly conceptualized in both policy and research, sometimes simply used as a proxy for 'time', in weeks and years, spent in a school classroom. The conceptualization of experience in a range of educational research traditions lies at the heart of this book, exemplified in a variety of empirical and theoretical studies. Distinctive perspectives to i...
Their World, Our World
Yamamoto presents a perspective on the world of children as seen and felt from the inside, based on his own research and that of others. He shows contrasts with typical adult views and draws implications for parenting, childcare, and education.

This work offers abundant information on the development of children and encourages parents, other caregivers, and teachers to reach a better understanding of the unique world of children, to feel more secure ...
