Gender, Modernity and Male Migrant Workers in China
Rural-urban migration within China has transformed and reshaped rural people’s lives during the past few decades, and has been one of the most visible phenomena of the economic reforms enacted since the late 1970s. Whilst Feminist scholars have addressed rural women’s experience of struggle and empowerment in urban China, in contrast, research on rural men’s experience of migration is a neglected area of study. In response, this book seeks to address the absence of male migrant workers as a gendered category within the current literature on rural-urban migration. Examining Chinese male migrant workers’ identity formation, this book explores their experience of rural-urban migration a...
East Asian Men
This book provides a fresh and contemporary take on the study of men and masculinity. It highlights new and exciting approaches to sexuality, desire, men and masculinity in East Asian contexts, focusing on the interconnections between them. In doing so, it re-examines the key concepts that underpin studies of masculinity, such as homophobia, homosociality and heteronormativity. Developing new ways of thinking about masculinity in local contexts, it fills a significant lacuna in contemporary scholarship. This thought-provoking work will appeal to students and scholars of gender studies, cultural studies and the wider social sciences.
Machine Learning on Commodity Tiny Devices
This book aims at the tiny machine learning (TinyML) software and hardware synergy for edge intelligence applications. It presents on-device learning techniques covering model-level neural network design, algorithm-level training optimization, and hardware-level instruction acceleration. Analyzing the limitations of conventional in-cloud computing would reveal that on-device learning is a promising research direction to meet the requirements of edge intelligence applications. As to the cutting-edge research of TinyML, implementing a high-efficiency learning framework and enabling system-level acceleration is one of the most fundamental issues. This book presents a comprehensive discussion of...
Masculinity and Aspiration in an Era of Neoliberal Education
This collection investigates the ways in which boys and young men negotiate neoliberal discourse surrounding aspiration and how neoliberalism shapes their identities. Expanding the field of masculinity studies in education, the contributors offer international comparisons of different subgroups of boys and young men in primary, secondary and university settings. A cross-sectional analysis of race, gender, and class theory is employed to illuminate the role of aspiration in shaping boys’ identities, which adds nuance to their complex "identity work" in neoliberal times.
Thinking Critically in College
Finally, a college prep book that actually prepares students for college! Almost all first-year college students discover that college courses are more academically challenging than they expected, and certainly harder than classes in high school. Professors expect students not just to absorb material, but to analyze and synthesize it, consider multiple perspectives, evaluate conflicting evidence, and then apply what they’ve learned in new contexts. Thinking Critically in College explains how to do all this and more. Louis E. Newman draws on decades of experience as a professor at Carleton College and Dean of Academic Advising and Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at Stanfo...
Security, Privacy, and Anonymity in Computation, Communication, and Storage
This book constitutes seven refereed workshops and symposiums, SpaCCS Workshops 2020, which are held jointly with the 13th International Conference on Security, Privacy, and Anonymity in Computation, Communication, and Storage, SpaCCS 2020, in Nanjing, China, in December 2020. The 48 papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 131 submissions and cover a broad range of topics on security, privacy and anonymity in computation communication, and storage, including the 11th International Workshop on Trust, Security and Privacy for Big Data (TrustData 2020), the 10th International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP 2020), the 9th International Symposium on Security and Privacy on Internet of Things (SPIoT 2020), the 6th International Symposium on Sensor-Cloud Systems (SCS 2020), the Second International Workshop on Communication, Computing, Informatics and Security (CCIS 2020), the First International Workshop on Intelligence and Security in Next Generation Networks (ISNGN 2020), the First International Symposium on Emerging Information Security and Applications (EISA 2020).
Instructional-design Theories and Models
Instructional theory describes a variety of methods of instruction (different ways of facilitating human learning and development) and when to use--and not use--each of those methods. It is about how to help people learn better. This volume provides a concise summary of a broad sampling of new methods of instruction currently under development, helps show the interrelationships among these diverse theories, and highlights current issues and trends in instructional design. It is a sequel to Instructional-Design Theories and Models: An Overview of Their Current Status, which provided a "snapshot in time" of the status of instructional theory in the early 1980s. Dramatic changes in the nature o...
Metacognition, Strategy Use, and Instruction
Showcasing exemplary research programs, this book explores how the latest theories and findings on cognitive development can be used to improve classroom instruction. The focus is on how children acquire knowledge about the processes involved in learning—such as remembering, thinking, and problem solving—as well as strategies for mastering new information. The contributors are leading experts who illustrate ways teachers can support the development of metacognition and goal-directed strategy use throughout the school years and in different academic domains. Teacher behaviors and instructional methods that promote these abilities are identified, and innovative assessment approaches and research designs are described.
Routledge Handbook of Sport in China
