Feminist Praxis (RLE Feminist Theory)
Feminist social scientists often find that carrying feminism into practice in their research is neither easy nor straightforward. Designed precisely with feminist researchers in mind, Feminist Praxis gives detailed analytic accounts of particular examples of feminist research, showing how feminist epistemology can translate into concrete feminist research practices. The contributors, all experts in their field, give practical examples of feminist research practices, covering colonialism, child-minding, gay men, feminist social work, cancer, working with young girls using drama, Marilyn Monroe, statistics – even the writing and reading of research accounts. These detailed accounts are locat...
An Inspector Calls
The UK government's education policy is based on the setting of targets, yet the fear and loathing that an Ofsted inspection can generate is widely known. This text critically assesses the role, impact and effect of the inspection body and dissects its usefulness.
The Educational Challenge of Cultural Diversity in the International Context
The book contributes to the promotion of intercultural scientific discourse concerning the issue of managing the - worldwide common - challenge of cultural diversity in different education systems. Considering the diversity in the school student population as an educational challenge, the aim of this volume is to present theoretical and research works associated to the scientific discourse about intercultural education and its importance to education on a national level and to the educational policies regarding school integration of pupils with immigrant background in different education systems.The examples about the effective management of diversity of student population on a national level and the open scientific questions that are presented can contribute to broaden our perspective regarding the width both of dimensions of this educational challenge and of the possibilities to manage the diversity of student population effectively.
A Study of Mentoring in the Teach First Programme
This PhD thesis explores how those involved in the Teach First mentoring process - trainees, mentors and university tutors - perceive that process and their role within it. It presents a new framework for understanding the mentoring process in ITT, based on a 'triad' of key players. It also reveals how the distinctiveness of the Teach First programme can be attenuated by the school-based mentoring process, and considers the implications of these findings for all those involved in ITT, including system leaders, policy makers and Teach First itself. "This study... will make a valuable contribution to our understanding of the process of mentoring - particularly in the context of Teach First." - Professor Ian Menter, President of the British Education Research Association
Writing the Everyday
Prose works examined include Bernice Morgan's best-selling novel Random Passage, short stories by Helen Porter and Governor General's award-winner Joan Clark, as well as poetry by Mi'kmaq Elder Rita Joe and "People's Poet" Maxine Tynes, and the adult work of well-known children's author Sheree Fitch. Fuller demonstrates how these writers overturn regional stereotypes to present a complex and intriguing portrait of women's lives in Canada's most eastern provinces.
Women's Lives/Women's Times
Women's Lives/Women's Times reflects the growing interest in life-writing as a basis for both feminist theorizing and women-centered education. It discusses the many ways in which the study of autobiography can contribute to the theory, practice, and politics of women's studies as curriculum, and to feminist theory more generally. This volume is concerned with the application of theory to text--particularly with the assumptions and discourses of postmodernism--but also in exploring how general theories of the subject do not always fit comfortably with the specifics of autobiographical writing. It also recognizes the challenge women's autobiography offers to theory, taking us, in its complex weave of the personal, the political, and the theoretical, beyond the usual generic and disciplinary boundaries.
Relative Freedoms
Uitgaande van de opvattingen over vrijetijdsbesteding van vrouwen en hun persoonlijke ervaringen ermee, worden in deze publikatie de factoren weergegeven die vrouwen beperken in hun mogelijkheden ertoe, zoals b.v. een versnipperde dagtaak, weinig meewerkende partners, beperkte eigen financiele middelen en geringe mobiliteit, als ook angst voor aanranding
