Escola, famílies i comunitat
Els esdeveniments que presenciem aquests últims temps, tant en l'àmbit global com local, constaten que vivim un autèntic canvi d'època, en què les regles del joc social i educatiu s'estan transformant profundament. En aquest context, totes les educacions -l'escolar, la familiar, l'esportiva, l'artística o la del lleure- experimenten un notable desajust entre unes respostes antigues i unes preguntes que canvien substancialment. Davant d'aquest desajust és imprescindible entendre, plantejar i construir polítiques i accions educatives des d'una perspectiva que les inclogui totes -la familiar, l'escolar, la comunitària, etc.- i que tingui molt en compte la seva absoluta interdependència. Aquesta és la idea clau: no es pot intentar educar pertinentment en el segle XXI sense tenir en compte famílies, docents i comunitat i les seves estretes interrelacions. Jordi Collet i Antoni Tort, basant-se en les seves recerques, proposen exemples, accions i debats per educar el millor possible en el nostre món, reconeixent, alhora, tot allò après fins avui.
Building Community to Create Equitable, Inclusive and Compassionate Schools through Relational Approaches
This book draws on an extensive international literature and policy context, from a wide range of fields of enquiry, to challenge the orthodoxies and systemic issues that serve to marginalise children and young people and lead the way for schools to become more equitable, inclusive and compassionate in their practice. With a particular focus on children with social, emotional and behavioural/mental health needs, it critiques policy and practice as they pertain to behaviour management and school discipline in the UK and the USA, and offers alternative perspectives based on collaborative and relational approaches to promoting positive behaviour and building community. Each chapter features ref...
Manifesto of the Critical Theory of Society and Religion (3 Vols.)
The Manifesto develops further the Critical Theory of Religion intrinsic to the Critical Theory of Society of the Frankfurt School into a new paradigm of the Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy and Theology of Religion. Its central theme is the theodicy problem in the context of late capitalist society and its globalization.
Modernising School Governance
Modernising School Governance examines the impact of recent market-based reforms on the role of governors in the English state education system. A focus of the book concerns how government and non-government demands for ‘strong governance’ have been translated to mean improved performance management of senior school leaders and greater monitoring and disciplining of governors. This book addresses fundamental questions about the neoliberal logic underpinning these reforms and how governors are being trained and responsibilised in new ways to enhance the integrity of these developments. Drawing on large-scale research conducted over three years, the book examines the impact of these reform...
Religion, Media, and Social Change
In an era of heightened globalization, macro-level transformations in the general socioeconomic and cultural makeup of modern societies have been studied in great depth. Yet little attention has been paid to the growing influence of media and mass-mediated popular culture on contemporary religious sensibilities, life, and practice. Religion, Media, and Social Change explores the correlation between the study of religion, media, and popular culture and broader sociological theorizing on religious change. Contributions devote serious attention to broadly-defined media including technologies, institutions, and social and cultural environments, as well as mass-mediated popular culture such as film, music, television, and computer games. This interdisciplinary collection addresses important theoretical and methodological questions by connecting the study of media and popular culture to current perspectives, approaches, and discussions in the broader sociological study of religion.
Thinking with Stephen J. Ball
This edited volume explores how Stephen Ball’s work has shaped the field of the sociology of education worldwide. Written by internationally based researchers who are Ball’s former PhD students, it draws on different strands of his work to show what it means to think, write, and do research inspired by Ball’s theory, methodology, and epistemology. The contributions revolve around a wide range of themes including: the ethics of doing educational research, disability studies, the bio-politics of the child’s soul, lived experiences of marginalisation in education, educating migrant and refugee women in the borderlands, and post-Brexit reflections on the Bologna process. Chapters draw on...
Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion. Volume 7 (2016)
Recent studies show that atheism is increasing. The reasons for this development have not as yet been examined thoroughly. Many atheists continue to be residual groups in surveys on religiosity, making it difficult to examine who they are and why they have chosen to be atheists. Moreover, they are minority groups in most countries (former Soviet bloc countries are left out of discussion); many do not identify with any organized groups of atheists or agnostics. Atheist groups and ideologies, then, represent a wide range of attitudes, behaviour and ways of acting towards religion. The lack of a clear definition of what being atheist (or an unbeliever) means today invites us to study the issue in greater depth. This volume represents a first attempt at understanding and scrutinizing atheism. Thanks to all contributors, it provides both a global perspective and specific insights into specific cases.
