Race and Culturally Responsive Inquiry in Education
Race and Culturally Responsive Inquiry in Education examines how assumptions about race and culture have shaped US education research and the interpretation and implementation of its results. This ambitious volume sheds light on the detrimental effects of educational praxis and policies that have characterized communities of color and historically underserved communities as deficient. It reveals how such bias has affected many facets of educational inquiry, from research design and planning to education policy making and evaluation practices. The provocative essays in this work challenge traditional suppositions about whose evidence matters, highlighting approaches for reframing educational ...

Making Black Girls Count in Math Education
Making Black Girls Count in Math Education explores the experiences of Black girls and women in mathematics from preschool to graduate school, deftly probing race and gender inequity in STEM fields. Nicole M. Joseph investigates factors that contribute to the glaring underrepresentation of Black female students in the mathematics pipeline. Joseph’s unflinching account calls attention to educational structures and practices that contribute to race- and gender-based stratification in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The author also disentangles a complex network of historical and sociopolitical elements that influence the perception and experiences of Black girl...

Steuerung und Innovation durch Abschlussprüfungen?
Die Umstellung von dezentralen zu zentralen Abiturprüfungsverfahren in der Mehrheit der Bundesländer hat unter dem Stichwort 'Zentralabitur' in jüngster Zeit besondere Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Dabei werden seitens der Bildungspolitik insbesondere die zentral gestellten Prüfungsaufgaben als geeignetes Steuerungsinstrument angesehen, um die bundesweit gültigen Prüfungsstandards (EPA) flächendeckend umzusetzen und damit die Qualität und Vergleichbarkeit in der gymnasialen Oberstufe und im Abitur weiterzuentwickeln. Bemerkenswert ist in diesem Zusammenhang jedoch, dass bezüglich der intendierten Wirkungen kaum auf wissenschaftliche, empirisch abgesicherte Erkenntnisse zurückgegriffen werden kann. Der Band der Reihe „Educational Governance“ greift bestehende Forschungsdesiderata auf und bietet empirische Befunde zum Steuerungs- und Innovationspotenzial von (zentralen) Abschlussprüfungen vor dem Hintergrund einheitlicher Prüfungsstandards.
Koalitionen, Kandidaten, Kommunikation
Der Band liefert empirische Analysen zur Bundestagswahl 2009. Dabei beleuchtet er insbesondere die bei dieser Wahl außergewöhnlichen Aspekte: die niedrige Wahlbeteiligung (und ihre Hintergründe), die Vielfalt der Koalitionsmöglichkeiten, aber auch die wachsende Bedeutung von Kandidaten. Anknüpfend an den vorherigen Band des Arbeitskreises „Information – Wahrnehmung – Emotion“ liegt zudem ein Schwerpunkt auf politischer Kommunikation sowie der Wahrnehmung und Verarbeitung politischer Informationen.

Corporate Insolvency Law
Vanessa Finch provides an interesting look at corporate insolvency laws and processes. She adopts an interdisciplinary approach to place two questions at the centre of her discussion. Are current UK laws and procedures efficient, expert, accountable and fair? Are fundamentally different conceptions of insolvency law needed for it to develop in a way that serves corporate and broader social ends? Topics considered in this wide-ranging book include different ways of financing companies, causes of corporate failure and prospects for designing rescue-friendly processes. Also examined are alternative asset distribution of failed companies, allocations of insolvency risks and effects of insolvency on a company's directors and employees. Finch argues that changes of approach are needed if insolvency law is to develop with coherence and purpose. This book will appeal to academics and students at advanced undergraduate and graduate level, and to legal practitioners throughout the common law world.
