Food

In Food John Coveney examines ‘food as … ’ identity politics industry regulation the environment justice and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. The centrality of food in life and the importance of food as life is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates personal pleasure and political power food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological social and cultural existence. In recent years interest in food has increased across the academic public and popular spheres fuelled by popular media’s constant play on the role of food and body size and food and cooking as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food we construct our social identities our families and communities. However Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food the environment and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries on which most of us must rely have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet and the development of illness and diseases. This accessible primer is for students and general readers alike indeed for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential symbolic powerful and transformative food has come to be.

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Originally published in 1972 there were many ‘classics’ dealing with assessment and testing on the market at the time but most of these left the inexperienced reader bewildered in the early stages because of their size and insufficient explanation of the many technical terms used. There were a distinct lack of books which gave students in Colleges of Education dealing with psychology for the first time a simple explanation of basic terms in assessment and testing and which introduced them briefly to the different types of tests available. Assessment and Testing aimed to fill this large gap. It looks at such key psychological terms as ‘sample’ ‘objectivity’ ‘subjectivity’ and such basic statistical terms such as ‘mean’ ‘standard deviation’ and ‘normal curve of distribution’. Because it assumes that the reader has no knowledge of such terms it gives careful and simply illustrated explanations of each. In the same way in simple language with any technical terms explained and illustrated it explains intelligence and personality tests questionnaires sociometric measures projection techniques and other areas of assessment and testing which every practising teacher will meet. The book aims to be essentially practical. It is appreciated all the time that the readers are those who will teach children. It is designed to provide a solid foundation upon which the reader can build later to augment his own experience of identifying children’s particular needs. | Assessment and Testing An Introduction

While many different pedagogues - policy makers churches activists health educators schools tourist agencies chefs - think we do not know enough about food and what to do with it the aims effects and politics of these pedagogies has been much less studied. Drawing on a range of international studies diverse contexts genres and different methods this book provides new sites of investigation and lines of inquiry.

Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) rely primarily on local production and processing practices for the provision of food and are in principle more sustainable in social economic and environmental terms than supply chains where production and consumption are widely separated. This book reviews and assesses recent initiatives on this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. In theoretical terms it draws on and advances two key concepts namely place (particularly embeddedness in local economic networks and communities) and governance (particularly in addressing sustainability concerns in an inclusive and socially just manner). Empirically the book examines a diverse set of SFSCs such as small-scale entrepreneurship farmers’ markets community supported agriculture and grassroots and solidarity networks. The main examples discussed are from Europe and North America but the issues are applicable in a global context. The book is of interest to advanced students researchers and professionals in food studies sociology geography planning politics and environmental studies. | Localizing Global Food Short Food Supply Chains as Responses to Agri-Food System Challenges

Unraveling the Assessment Industrial Complex Understanding How Testing Perpetuates Inequity and Injustice in America

Unraveling the Assessment Industrial Complex Understanding How Testing Perpetuates Inequity and Injustice in America

This book offers a comprehensive critique of how the assessment industry and standardized testing adversely impact students teachers and society. The authors present the case that the interconnected developments of the testing industry and the Assessment Industrial Complex (AIC) have effectively anchored American schooling to testing. Using an antiracist lens the authors deconstruct the AIC exposing the neoliberal agenda of education reformers and how proponents utilize the rhetoric of testing and the data extracted from them to normalize the reliance on AIC systems. This critique further exposes education reformers’ ideological agenda their hypocrisy and how they grossly profit from the AIC at the expense of society’s marginalized and most vulnerable students. The COVID-19 pandemic society’s racial unrest and anti-testing movements have aligned to underscore the need to examine systemic oppression and the impact it has on society through our education system. This text exposes how standardized testing perpetuates these injustices and provides the opportunity to disrupt the systems they rely upon and bolster the societal resistance that is needed. | Unraveling the Assessment Industrial Complex Understanding How Testing Perpetuates Inequity and Injustice in America
