This book examines the life and works of Jane Addams who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1931). Addams led an international women's peace movement and is noted for spearheading a first-of-its-kind international conference of women at The Hague during World War I. She helped to found the Women's International League of Peace and Freedom. She was also a prophetic peace theorist whose ideas were dismissed by her contemporaries. Her critics conflated her activism and ideas with attempts to undermine the war effort. Perhaps more important, her credibility was challenged by sexist views characterizing her as a “silly” old woman. Her omission as a pioneering, feminist, peace theorist is a co...

Time and organization are two of the biggest obstacles facing students as they begin the process of writing a term paper. This scholarly paper project organizer addresses these issues by reconceptionualizing "writing a paper" into "organizing a project." Writing is just one aspect of a term paper assignment. This organizer is a powerful workbook - a tool that helps the student-scholar manage or organize three elements of the term paper assignment: time, materials and ideas. Using the organizer, student-scholars build, make or do the critical behind-the-scenes elements of writing research papers: manage time, read, think, take notes, make an outline, etc. Ideally, a new organizer is purchased every time the student writes a significant research paper.
The philosophy of pragmatism advances an evolutionary, learning-oriented perspective that is problem-driven, reflexive, and deliberative.
