Discourses We Live By: Narratives of Educational and Social Endeavour
What are the influences that govern how people view their worlds? What are the embedded values and practices that underpin the ways people think and act? Discourses We Live By approaches these questions through narrative research, in a process that uses words, images, activities or artefacts to ask people – either individually or collectively within social groupings – to examine, discuss, portray or otherwise make public their place in the world, their sense of belonging to (and identity within) the physical and cultural space they inhabit. This book is a rich and multifaceted collection of twenty-eight chapters that use varied lenses to examine the discourses that shape people’s lives...
Migrant Academics’ Narratives of Precarity and Resilience in Europe
This volume consists of narratives of migrant academics from the Global South within academia in the Global North. The autobiographic and autoethnographic contributions to this collection aim to decolonise the discourse around academic mobility by highlighting experiences of precarity, resilience, care and solidarity in the academic margins. The authors use precarity to analyse the state of affairs in the academy, from hiring practices to ‘culturally’ accepted division of labour, systematic forms of discrimination, racialisation, and gendered hierarchies, etc. Building on precarity as a critical concept for challenging social exclusion or forming political collectives, the authors move a...
Social Justice through Multilingual Education
The principles for enabling children to become fully proficient multilinguals through schooling are well known. Even so, most indigenous/tribal, minority and marginalised children are not provided with appropriate mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MLE) that would enable them to succeed in school and society. In this book experts from around the world ask why this is, and show how it can be done. The book discusses general principles and challenges in depth and presents case studies from Canada and the USA, northern Europe, Peru, Africa, India, Nepal and elsewhere in Asia. Analysis by leading scholars in the field shows the importance of building on local experience. Sharing local solutions globally can lead to better theory, and to action for more social justice and equality through education.
Discourses, Dialogue and Diversity in Biographical Research
This book explores how narratives are deeply embodied, engaging heart, soul, as well as mind, through varying adult learner perspectives. Biographical research is not an isolated, individual, solipsistic endeavor but shaped by larger ecological interactions – in families, schools, universities, communities, societies, and networks – that can create or destroy hope. Telling or listening to life stories celebrates complexity, messiness, and the rich potential of learning lives. The narratives in this book highlight the rapid disruption of sustainable ecologies, not only ‘natural’, physical, and biological, but also psychological, economic, relational, political, educational, cultural, ...
Second Chance
In this intimate memoir, Ruth Rosengarten explores the subject of evocative objects through a series of interconnected essays. Evocative objects reflect our attitudes to our own lives and how we seek to display ourselves to ourselves. They are therefore, closely linked to our memories, and how we filter, process and reconstruct them. Rosengarten explores the themes and associations invoked by her own evocative objects, which are frequently shabby things of no material value. They are, importantly, often objects that, in their materiality, bear traces of actions, of something-having-been. Through the associative pathways that these objects have paved, she discusses her experiences with the lo...

An Ecological and Societal Approach to Biological Control
Biological control is among the most promising methods for control of pests, diseases and weeds, and this book treats ecological and societal aspects together for the first time. The aim is to evaluate the significance of certain biological properties like biodiversity and natural habitats. In a societal approach terms like ‘consumer’s attitude’, ‘risk perception’, ‘learning and education’ and ‘value triangle’ are recognized as significant for biological production and human welfare.
Praxeologisk sygeplejevidenskab - hvad er det?
Termen 'praxeologi' er hentet fra en artikel af Bourdieu om tre forskellige former for teoretisk viden: den fænomenologiske, den objektivistiske og den praxeologiske. Bourdieu betegner sin egen empiriske videnskab som praxeologisk. Forskergruppen Praxeologi låner termen fra Bourdieu og har som ambition at grundlægge og undervise i en sygeplejevidenskab, med basis i en humanvidenskab og social erfaringsvidenskab. Det handler om en selvstændig sygeplejevidenskab, ikke om en sygeplejesociologi. Når begrebet praxeologi bruges til at arbejde med sygeplejevidenskab, er sigtet en videnskab OM sygepleje, men også FOR sygepleje som praksis. Det betyder, at overvejelserne i denne bog om praxeologisk sygeplejevidenskab er relevante ikke kun for forskningen, men også for grunduddannelsen og praktikken.
Professionspsykologi
Hver person bringer sine unikke erfaringer, følelser og handlemønstre med sig ind i sit arbejde. Den måde, vi arbejder på som professionelle, er med andre ord personlig uanset vores beskæftigelse. Alligevel overses den personlige og psykologiske dimension ofte i forståelsen af den professionelle lærer, pædagog, sygeplejerske eller socialrådgiver. Professionspsykologi introducerer et nyt område og begreb i forskningen om professionerne. Indtil nu er de professionsuddannede ofte blevet fremstillet med et sociologisk blik som en nærmest ensartet gruppe, der skal leve op til nogle bestemte samfundsmæssige krav. Med et psykologisk blik kan vi i stedet forstå dem som personer og profe...
