Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia provides an evidence-based and readable account of improving life at home for people with a dementia and their families. There are estimated to be 47 million people with a dementia worldwide the majority of whom will live or want to live in their own home. Yet there is a major shortcoming in available knowledge on what life is like for people with a dementia living at home.

This book bridges this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive and critical overview of the best available evidence on enabling people with a dementia to live well at home from the viewpoint of those living with the condition and in the context of global policy drivers on ageing and health as well as technological advances. The book includes chapters on citizenships – that is the diversity of people living with a dementia – enabling life at home rethinking self-management the ethics and care of people with a dementia at home technological care and citizenship and sharing responsibilities. It concludes with a care manifesto in which we set out a vision for improving life at home for people with a dementia that covers the areas of professional practice education and care research. By covering a wide range of interrelated topics to advance understanding and practice as to how people with a dementia from diverse backgrounds can be supported to live well at home this book provides a synthesised critical and readable understanding of the complexities and risks involved.

Decentring Security Policing Communities at Home and Abroad

Decentring Security Policing Communities at Home and Abroad

Contemporary security governance often relies on markets and networks to link public agencies to non-governmental actors. This book explores the rise nature and future of these new forms of security governance across various domestic transnational and international settings. The chapters reveal similarities and differences in the way security governance operates in various policy settings. The contributors argue that the similarities generally arise because policy elites at various levels of governance have come to believe that security depends on building resilience and communities through various joined-up arrangements networks and partnerships. Differences nonetheless persist because civil servants street level bureaucrats voluntary sector actors and citizens all draw on diverse traditions to interpret and at times resist the joined-up security being promoted by these policy elites. This book therefore decentres security governance showing how all kinds of local traditions influence the way it works in different settings. It pays particular attention to the meanings cultures and ideologies by which policy actors encounter interpret and evaluate security dilemmas. This book was originally published as a special issue in Global Crime. | Decentring Security Policing Communities at Home and Abroad

Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Exploring the literary microcosm inspired by Brontë's debut novel Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad focuses on the nationalistic stakes of the mythic and fairytale paradigms that were incorporated into the heroic female bildungsroman tradition. Jane Eyre Abigail Heiniger argues is a heroic changeling indebted to the regional pre-Victorian fairy lore Charlotte Brontë heard and read in Haworth an influence that Brontë repudiates in her last novel Villette. While this heroic figure inspired a range of female writers on both sides of the Atlantic Heiniger suggests that the regional aspects of the changeling were especially attractive to North American writers such as Susan Warner and L. M. Montgomery who responded to Jane Eyre as part of the Cinderella tradition. Heiniger contrasts the reactions of these white women writers with that of Hannah Crafts whose Jane Eyre-influenced The Bondwoman's Narrative rejects the Cinderella model. Instead Heiniger shows Crafts creates a heroic female bildungsroman that critiques fairytale narratives from the viewpoint of the obscure oppressed workers who remain forever outside the tales of wonder produced for middle-class consumption. Heiniger concludes by demonstrating how Brontë's middle-class American readers projected the self-rise ethic onto Jane Eyre miring the novel in nineteenth-century narratives of American identity formation. | Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Mind the Gap Global Learning at Home and Abroad

Mind the Gap Global Learning at Home and Abroad

There is growing awareness that global learning is not confined to university credit-bearing off campus international programs and that institutions of higher learning have up until now conceived of global education too narrowly. Global learning through study abroad and off-campus domestic study fits into a larger context of students’ educational experiences. You can find global learning as part of other high-impact practices; domestic off-campus programs undergraduate research and service- or community-based learning all can be global learning opportunities. On-campus global learning can occur in the disciplines and in the core curriculum as well. Language and culture anthropology sociology and other departments multicultural centers and diversity and inclusivity offices to name a few also teach students to be global learners. Global learning pertains to the many staff and faculty educators who intentionally encourage students to engage with and successfully navigate difference. Thus there is a growing need for bridging across disciplinary and administrative silos silos that are culturally bound within academia. The gaps between these silos matter as students seek to integrate off- and on-campus learning. Higher education needs a new holistic assessment of global learning. This book investigates not just student learning but also faculty experiences program structures and pathways that impact global learning and expands the context of global learning to show its antecedents and impacts as a part of the larger higher education experience. Chapters look at recent developments such as short-term off-campus international study and certificate/medallion programs as well as blended learning environments and undergraduate research all in the context of multi-institutional comparisons. Global learning is also situated in a larger university context. A Series on Engaged Learning and Teaching Book.

House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

House and home are words routinely used to describe where and how one lives. This book challenges predominant definitions and argues that domesticity fundamentally satisfies the human need to create and inhabit a defined place in the world. Consequently house and home have performed numerous cultural and ontological roles and have been assiduously represented in scripture literature art and philosophy. This book presents how the search for home in an unpredictable world led people to create myths about the origins of architecture houses for their gods and house tombs for eternal life. Turning to more recent topics it discusses how writers often used simple huts as a means to address the essentials of existence; modernist architects envisioned the capacity of house and home to improve society; and the suburban house was positioned as a superior setting for culture and family. Throughout the book house and home are critically examined to illustrate the perennial role and capacity of architecture to articulate the human condition position it more meaningfully in the world and assist in our collective homecoming. | House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

Taste A cultural history of the home interior

Taste A cultural history of the home interior

Democratic in intention and approach the book will argue that the home interior as independently created by the ‘amateur’ householder offers a continuous informal critique of shifting architectural styles (most notably with the advent of Modernism) and the design mainstream. Indeed it will suggest that the popular increasingly exerts an influence on the professional. Underpinned by academic rigour but not in thrall to it above all this book is an engaging attempt to identify the cultural drivers of aesthetic change in the home extrapolating the wider influence of ‘taste’ to a broad audience – both professional and ‘trade’. In so doing it will explore enthralling territory – money class power and influence. Illustrated with contemporary drawings and cartoons as well as photos the book will not only be an absorbing read but an enticing and attractive object in itself. | Taste A cultural history of the home interior

Discover how we can tap into those vast wells to support learning at home and in school while building positive reciprocal relationships across both settings.

Making Home in Diasporic Communities Transnational belonging amongst Filipina migrants

Making Home in Diasporic Communities demonstrates the global scope of the Filipino diaspora engaging wider scholarship on globalisation and the ways in which the dynamics of nation-state institutions labour migration and social relationships intersect for transnational communities. Based on original ethnographic work conducted in Ireland and the Philippines the book examines how Filipina diasporans socially and symbolically create a sense of ‘home’. On one hand Filipinas can be seen as mobile as they have crossed geographical borders and are physically located in the destination country. Yet on the other hand they are constrained by immigration policies linguistic and cultural barriers and other social and cultural institutions. Through modalities of language rituals and religion and food the author examines the ways in which Filipinas orient their perceptions expectations practices and social spaces to ‘the homeland’ thus providing insight into larger questions of inclusion and exclusion for diasporic communities. By focusing on a range of Filipina experiences including that of nurses international students religious workers and personal assistants Making Home in Diasporic Communities explores the intersectionality of gender race class and belonging. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology as well as those with interests in gender identity migration ethnic studies and the construction of home. | Making Home in Diasporic Communities Transnational belonging amongst Filipina migrants
