Ecological Engagement
This book presents the method developed by Dr. Silvia Helena Koller and her students and collaborators to apply Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Theory of Human Development to empirical studies with children and adolescents. Although Bronfenbrenner's theory, in different stages of development, has been widely cited by several researchers, surprisingly little has been written about the theory itself, its evolution or about the methods that should be used to test it. This book fills this gap by presenting both an overview of Bronfenbrenner’s theory and a method to apply it to empirical research, the Ecological Engagement method. The book also shows how this method can be applied in prac...
European Social Policy and the COVID-19 Pandemic
"Much has been written since the publication in 1990 of Esping-Andersen's The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism on the concept of welfare regime as an analytical tool to study social policy stability and change in Europe and beyond. As a concept, welfare regime emphasizes both stability over change and divergence between country clusters over convergence. Studying on concrete policy instruments rather than spending patterns and focusing on policies introduced to protect workers against the risk of unemployment and the loss of income, this chapter explores potential patterns of commonality and difference in the social policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in four distinct welfare regimes...

The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures
The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures is a compendium of perspectives on children and their musical engagements as singers, dancers, players, and avid listeners. Over the course of 35 chapters, contributors from around the world provide an interdisciplinary enquiry into the musical lives of children in a variety of cultures, and their role as both preservers and innovators of music. Drawing on a wide array of fields from ethnomusicology and folklore to education and developmental psychology, the chapters presented in this handbook provide windows into the musical enculturation, education, and training of children, and the ways in which they learn, express, invent, and preserve music. Offering an understanding of the nature, structures, and styles of music preferred and used by children from toddlerhood through childhood and into adolescence, The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures is an important step forward in the study of children and music.
Contextos de Vulnerabilidade e Resiliência no Desenvolvimento
O livro Contextos de vulnerabilidade e resiliência no desenvolvimento humano é produto do trabalho realizado por um grupo de pesquisadores que investigam o desenvolvimento humano em diferentes regiões do Brasil (Norte, Nordeste, Centro-Oeste e Sudeste). Esse fato permite a compreensão da vulnerabilidade e da resiliência sem perder de vista as suas peculiaridades. A despeito da força das evidências empíricas brasileiras que marcam a presente obra, é importante ressaltar que essas foram geradas por grupos de trabalho que mantêm constante diálogo com pesquisadores que atuam em países como Portugal e Alemanha. Se, por um lado, essa amplitude revela as associações dos autores da obr...

Inclusão na igreja de crianças com deficiências e transtornos
A igreja recebe todo tipo de pessoa e, por isso, deve ser uma comunidade inclusiva, onde todos são tratados dentro de suas peculiaridades, para que se tornem discípulos de Jesus, produtivos para o Reino de Deus, respeitados e amados. Porém, a igreja ainda negligencia um grupo: crianças com deficiências e transtornos, como síndrome de Down, autismo, deficiências visuais, deficiências auditivas, restrições motoras, TDAH, entre outros. Essa negligência não ocorre por maldade, mas por desconhecimento de como agir. Há pouca literatura sobre o tema e ainda menos experiências de sucesso. Por isso, esta obra de Aline Santos chega para preencher a lacuna e servir como um guia teórico e prático de como acolher nas igrejas crianças com deficiências e transtornos e suas famílias — com sucesso e consequência, como mostra a experiência da Igreja Batista Atitude, onde a autora lidera o ministério de inclusão.
