Housing Homelessness Social Policy Urb
This book explores the myriad ways in which northern urban places foster new forms of community-building and social inclusion for people experiencing homelessness.
Housing, Homelessness, and Social Policy in the Urban North
Housing, Homelessness, and Social Policy in the Urban North brings together leading scholars on northern urban housing across the Canadian North, Alaska, and Greenland. Through various case studies, the contributors examine the ways in which housing insecurity and homelessness provide a critical lens on the social dimensions of northern urbanization. They also present key considerations in the development of effective and sustainable social policy for these areas. The book kickstarts a conversation between multiple stakeholders from different cultural and national regions across the North American north. It asks key questions including these: What are the common problems of, and responses to...
Emancipatory Change in US Higher Education
This edited volume explores and deconstructs the possibilities of higher education beyond its initial purpose. The book contextualizes and argues for a more robust interrogation of persistent patterns of campus inequality driven by rapid demographic change, reduced public spending in higher education, and an increasingly polarized political landscape. It offers contemporary views and critiques ideas and practices such as micro-aggressions, implicit and explicit bias, and their consequences in reifying racial and gender-based inequalities on members of nondominant groups. The book also highlights coping mechanisms and resistance strategies that have enabled members of nondominant groups to contest primarily racial- and gender- based inequity. In doing so, it identifies new ways higher education can do what it professes to do better, in all ways, from providing real benefit to students and communities, while also setting a bar for society to more effectively realize its stated purpose and creed.
Practical Applications of Medical Geology
This edited volume provides a framework for integrating methods and information drawn from geological and medical sciences and provides case studies in medical geology to illustrate the usefulness of this framework for crafting environmental and public health policies related to natural materials. The relevance of medical geology research to policy decisions is a topic rarely discussed, and this volume attempts to be a unique source for researchers and policy makers in the field of medical geology in addressing this gap in practical medical geology applications. The book's four sections establish this framework in detail using risk assessment, case studies, data analyses and specific medical...
Choosing the Right College 2014–15
“By far the best college guide, for both its honesty and its insights.” —Thomas Sowell Over the past decade, Choosing the Right College has established itself as the indispensable resource for students—and parents—who want the unvarnished truth about America’s top colleges and universities. It is the most in-depth, independently researched college guide on the market, using on-campus sources to turn up the best—and worst—aspects of nearly 150 schools. Just as important, Choosing the Right College covers the intellectual, political, and social conditions that really matter, including: · The integrity and rigor of the curriculum · Which courses and professors to take—and wh...
Und sie unterscheiden sich doch
Die Frage der menschlichen Rassen ist das größte Tabu unserer Tage. Politik, Medien und selbst die Wissenschaften verkünden mit Nachdruck, dass es Menschenrassen überhaupt nicht gäbe – dass sie lediglich "soziale Konstrukte" seien und unsere biologischen Unterschiede nicht bis "unter die Haut" reichen würden. Doch wie bei früheren Tabus wirkt unser Umgang auch mit diesem Thema bei genauerem Hinsehen wahnhaft und unlogisch. Dass es Unterschiede zwischen den Rassen gibt, tritt etwa bei internationalen Sportveranstaltungen für jeden Zuschauer offen zutage. Im Gesundheitswesen wird die Rasse mehr und mehr zum essenziellen Faktor, besonders in Fragen der Krankheitsanfälligkeit und der ...

Jews and Sciences in German Contexts
The authors examine the relationship between the cultural, religious and social situation of German Jews on the one hand and their scientific activities on the other. They discuss the sensitive question of the specificity of the approaches of Jewish scientists and draw attention to the debate concerning the relationship between Judaism and academic research, ranging from the early 19th century theorizing on science and Judaism to 20th century issues, e.g. the controversies on 'Jewish' physics, mathematics etc. in the 1920s and 30s.
