Challenging the Conventional Wisdom about Residential Care for Children and Youth A Good Place to Grow

Challenging the Conventional Wisdom about Residential Care for Children and Youth A Good Place to Grow

Is residential care 'inherently harmful'? This book argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong and is itself harmful to a significant number of children and youth. The presumptive view is based largely on overgeneralizations from research with infants and very young children raised in extremely deprived environments. A careful analysis of the available research supports the use of high-quality residential care as a treatment of choice with certain groups of needy children and youth not a last resort intervention. The nature of high-quality care is explored through child development theory and research and two empirically supported models of care are described in detail. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of child development child welfare youth work social work and education as well as professionals working within these fields. | Challenging the Conventional Wisdom about Residential Care for Children and Youth A Good Place to Grow

Fascism An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice

Fascism An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice

For Italian intellectuals the terms fascist and antifascist continue to be the hard currency of contemporary political debate. When Professor Renzo de Felice suggests that fascism describes a moment in the Italian past-and only that-he is challenging the very heart of current orthodoxy. His ideas about fascism have a broad significance and represent a radical departure from conventional wisdom. This book remains important because of de Felice's vast knowledge of fascism and rigorous historical analysis. This dialogue between de Felice and American scholar Michael Ledeen ranges from empirical research on the history of Mussolini and the Fascist Regime in Italy to seeking a definition of fascism and determining its general characteristics. | Fascism An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice

The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

This book explores Aristotelian and Confucian wisdom traditions to understand education and what counts as a good teacher in an embodied dialogic approach. The book creates a dialogue between ancient ideas and the author’s lived experiences as a teacher in cross-cultural landscapes today to ruminate on the important themes of educational purpose teacher excellence teacher-student relationships and teaching skill. It asks fundamental educational questions including Why Do We Educate? Eudaimonia and Dao; What Do We Educate? Phronesis Philia and Ren; and How Do We Educate? Techne and Liuyi. Moving beyond the dominant epistemological concerns such as how to teach more effectively to help students gain better marks in schools it constitutes an ethical inquiry that illuminates the values purposes concerns and hopes that animate genuinely educational work. Using a comparative approach to wisdom traditions from both the East and the West it addresses parochialism and challenges Eurocentric research paradigms. Embedded in the messy ground of teaching in intergenerational and cross-cultural narratives the author’s own experiences as a student/teacher/daughter of a teacher/mother of a student crucially unpacks and concretizes ancient concepts and reactivates them in concrete situations. A sense of a whole without completeness a conception of the good without closure and an aspiration without achievement continue to haunt the search for an ultimate answer to the question what counts as a good teacher?. It will appeal to scholars teachers and teacher educators with an interest in narrative inquiry and educational research as well as those in the field of curriculum studies and the philosophy of education. | The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution

The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution

This is an analysis of the diverse facets of Alexander the Great’s image from the Renaissance era through the Baroque into the nineteenth century. Perceived as the first sovereign ruler of the world for centuries Alexander became an exemplar for the most ambitious kings and emperors. This cultural phenomenon flourished above all in the Renaissance while extending into the nineteenth century. Early modern monarchs’ identification with Alexander associated them with ideas of kingly wisdom. Yet this admiration waned on occasions. Napoleon was Alexander of Macedonia’s most ardent critic. During the nineteenth century the Macedonian hero was viewed as an individual who won control of the Achaemenid empire but also underwent a progressive moral decline that converted him into a tyrant. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history and iconography. | The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution

An Unruly Child A history of law in Australia

An Unruly Child A history of law in Australia

'This is a provocative re-examination of our legal history appearing at a time when Australians are reconsidering both their past and their future. ' - The Hon. Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG President of the New South Wales Court of AppealThe imperial view of Australian law was that it was a weak derivative of English law. In An Unruly Child Bruce Kercher rewrites history. He reveals that since 1788 there has been a contest between the received legal wisdom of Mother England and her sometimes unruly offspring. The resulting law often suited local interests but was not always more just. Kercher also shows that law has played a major role in Australian social history. From the convict settlements and the Eureka stockade in the early years to the Harvester Judgement the White Australia Policy and most recently the Mabo case central themes of Australian history have been framed by the legal system. An Unruly Child is a groundbreaking work which will influence our understanding of Australia's history and its legal system. | An Unruly Child A history of law in Australia

This book breaks new ground in scholarship on the politics of migration. The edited volume brings together in-depth case studies from Argentina Tunisia Japan South Korea the United States Australia the Philippines China and Saudi Arabia to showcase the complex interplay between migration politics and broader dynamics of regime change state formation and nation-state ideology.

Instead migration politics and political regimes co-produce one another. Our exploration delves into the roles of civil society legal actors employers and international norms across diverse political contexts and bridges conversations around immigration and emigration politics. Uncovering unexpected similarities in migration policies across different political regimes at a time when states are increasingly adopting illiberal practices this collection is essential for political scientists sociologists and migration scholars seeking a fresh perspective.

Missionaries and the Colonial State Radicalism and Governance in Rwanda and Burundi 1900-1972

Missionaries and the Colonial State Radicalism and Governance in Rwanda and Burundi 1900-1972

Catholic and Protestant missionaries followed their own competing agendas rather than those of the colonial state. This volume unravels these agendas and challenges received wisdom on the histories of Rwanda and Burundi as well as the colonial relationship between state and mission. The archives of the White Fathers Catholic missionary order in Rome and Paris are read alongside primary sources produced by the British Protestant Church Missionary Society to analyse their impact between 1900 and 1972 in Rwanda and Burundi. The colonial state was weaker than often assumed and permeable by external radical influences. Denominational competition between Catholic and Protestant missionaries was a key motor of this radicalism. The colonial state in both kingdoms was a weak reactive agent rather than a structuring form of power. This volume shows that missionaries were more committed and influential actors but their inability to manage the mass demand for the education that they sought and delivered finally undermined the achievement of their aims. Missionaries and the Colonial State is a resource for historians of Christianity Belgian Africa specialists and scholars of colonialism. | Missionaries and the Colonial State Radicalism and Governance in Rwanda and Burundi 1900-1972

Chaplaincy and Practical Theology Researching a Pioneering Ministry

Chaplaincy and Practical Theology Researching a Pioneering Ministry

Chaplaincy has emerged as a highly significant form of ministry in the twenty-first century and chaplaincy studies is growing as a field of study that learns from the experience and work of chaplains in their diverse sectors. Chaplains from a range of different faith traditions pioneer ministry within the secular yet religiously plural contexts of contemporary life with often considerable creativity and skill generating a wealth of insight to be gleaned for understanding the place of faith in the modern world. One of the disciplines that has been most concerned with gleaning those insights and developing the field of chaplaincy studies is practical theology. The journal Practical Theology (formerly Contact) is a key repository for much of the wisdom gained through such study and this book draws on the archive of the journal to trace the development of chaplaincy research and provide a resource for those seeking to join the conversation about the nature and significance of chaplaincy as a form of ministry and mission today. Drawing on different sectors of chaplaincy and different methodological approaches this book is invaluable for those engaged in chaplaincy work those seeking to research that work and for anyone interested in contemporary pioneering forms of ministry. | Chaplaincy and Practical Theology Researching a Pioneering Ministry

Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory Vice Virtue and Spoilt Children

Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory Vice Virtue and Spoilt Children

Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory posits three startling points: that we have today forgotten a cultural icon that helped to bring about the Renaissance; that this character used to distil classical wisdom regarding how to raise children to become moral adults consistently appeared in plays performed between 1350 and 1650; and that the character was often utilised by the likes of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson and therefore adds a long-forgotten allegorical narrative to their works. This evidence-based reappraisal of some of the most iconic works in Western literature suggests that a core element of their content has been ‘lost’ for centuries. This text will appeal to anyone with an interest in late medieval and early modern drama especially the works of Shakespeare; to those interested in the history of teaching and child-rearing; to anyone curious about the practical application of philosophy in society; to anyone that would like to know more about the crucial and defining period today known as the Renaissance and how and why society was redesigned by those with influence; and to all those who would like to know more about how history which though sometimes misplaced continues to influenced our modern world. | Shakespeare’s Forgotten Allegory Vice Virtue and Spoilt Children

The Basics of Performance Measurement

The Basics of Performance Measurement

You can‘t understand manage or improve what you don‘t measure While every smart executive now knows the truth of those words perhaps more so than anyone it was Jerry Harbour who turned that adage into a science. Originally published in 1997 The Basics of Performance Measurement helped pioneer the science of performance measurement and continues to serve as an industry standard. Yet despite the book‘s continued relevancy Harbour is once again stepping ahead of the curve to fully update his little yellow book. In addition to adding the wisdom of lessons learned over the past decade he adds two new chapters to this second edition. One of these chapters discusses units of measurement. The other introduces ways to better interpret what has been measured and then translate those measurement-related interpretations into actionable knowledge. Harbour provides a six-step method for developing a performance measurement system. He shows how to design performance measurement families and how to build hierarchies tailored to different levels within an organization. He also covers collection and distribution as well as the value of performance measure displays. When you finish this book you will be able to undertake performance measurement with new confidence. You will also come away knowing how to present your findings with an authority that will convince stakeholders of the importance and accuracy of your results.

Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

This special issue contains essays regarding the CHI '95 conference which featured a panel titled Discount or Disservice? Discount Usability Analysis: Evaluation at a Bargain Price or Simply Damaged Merchandise? Wayne Gray who organized the panel presented a controversial critique of studies that had evaluated various usability evaluation methods (UEMs). The level of interest in this discussion led Gray to propose a review article that dealt with the issues in a more systematic fashion. The resulting essay written by Gray and his collaborator Marilyn Salzman conducted an in-depth review of a series of influential studies that used experimental methods to compare a variety of UEMs. Gray and Salzman's analysis was framed using Cook and Campbell's (1979) well-known discussion of various forms of validity. They used this to evaluate numerous details of these comparative studies and they concluded that the studies fell short on the criteria by which good experimental studies are designed and interpreted. | Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction
