Asparagus Dreams
Expelled from mainstream education and vaguely aware she has something called 'Asparagus' Syndrome, 12-year-old Jessica is sent away to a residential school for young people with autism. Here, at first miserable and misunderstood, she spends the next five years trying to cope with the strict school system - fighting against misguided teacher interventions, dealing with the onset of adolescence and fitting in with the other pupils. Recalling her school years with humour and insight, Jessica takes the reader right inside what it feels like to have AS. Her account will open the eyes of readers to the difficulties, and the rewards, of this condition.
Managing Conversations With Hostile Adults
Based on an in-depth study of over 250 actively practicing teachers and certified school support professionals, this book identifies and explains the 15 most effective strategies an educator can use in order to diffuse hostile conversations with adults. The authors present a variety of stressful confrontations: from curbing the school gossip and dealing with public humiliation, to surviving a false sexual accusation and neutralizing encounters with out-of-control individuals under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. In each chapter, after presenting the reader with a real-life confrontation, both the psychological and educational viewpoints are considered, the educator′s effectiveness in handling the situation is analyzed, and strategies and suggestions for application to additional circumstances are discussed.
Resist and Persist
To many, the world appears to be in a state of dangerous change. News and fictional media alike report that these are dark times, and narratives of social resistance imbue many facets of Western culture. The new essays making up this collection examine different events and themes of the 2010s that readily acknowledge the struggling state of things. Crucially, these essays look to the resistance and political activism of communities that seek to make long-reaching and institutional changes in the world through a diverse group of media texts. They scrutinize how a society relates to injustices and how individuals enact a desire for change. The authors analyze a broad range of works such as texts as Awake: A Dream from Standing Rock, Black Panther, The Death of Stalin, Get Out, Jessica Jones, Hamilton, The Shape of Water, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. By digging into these and other works, as well as historic events, the contributors explicate the soul-deep necessity of pushing back against injustice, whether personal or cultural.
