Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

This book aims to understand the predicaments of ‘left behind places’ and the scale of the policy challenge of ‘levelling up’ their economic prosperity. Drawing out lessons of wider international significance it examines how places (cities towns and localities) have grown apart over recent decades amidst deindustrialisation post-industrial transition and the disruptive shocks of the global financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. Using the UK case to illustrate its arguments the analysis identifies the different types of ‘left behind places’ and their distinctive economic experiences. The key features of urban and regional institutions and policies are reviewed to understand more about why despite some successes geographical inequalities remain an entrenched feature of the UK blighting the life chances and quality of life of its citizens and national economic progress as a whole. The weaknesses of past policies are highlighted and the case is made for a new mission-oriented policy model because only a radical shift in economic thinking governance and management is likely to achieve the ‘levelling up’ that is now a prominent refrain in the political lexicon. | Levelling Up Left Behind Places The Scale and Nature of the Economic and Policy Challenge

Growing Up Muslim in Europe and the United States

Growing Up Muslim in Europe and the United States

This volume brings together scholarship from two different and until now largely separate literatures—the study of the children of immigrants and the study of Muslim minority communities—in order to explore the changing nature of ethnic identity religious practice and citizenship in the contemporary western world. With attention to the similarities and differences between the European and American experiences of growing up Muslim the contributing authors ask what it means for young people to be both Muslim and American or European how they reconcile these at times conflicting identities how they reconcile the religious and gendered cultural norms of their immigrant families with the more liberal ideals of the western societies that they live in and how they deal with these issues through mobilization and political incorporation. A transatlantic research effort that brings together work from the tradition in diaspora studies with research on the second generation to examine social cultural and political dimensions of the second-generation Muslim experience in Europe and the United States this book will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in migration diaspora race and ethnicity religion and integration. | Growing Up Muslim in Europe and the United States

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

We think of cults as bizarre inexplicable or otherworldly places that only strange people inhabit but cults and other abusive and high-demand groups (and relationships) are actually quite commonplace. In fact the behaviors social pressures and authoritarian structures that create cults exist to a greater or lesser extent in every human relationship and every human group. In the first in-depth research of its kind the author interviewed sixty-five people who were born in or grew up in thirty-nine different cultic groups spanning more than a dozen countries. What’s especially interesting about these individuals is that they each left the cult on their own without outside help or internal support. In Escaping Utopia: Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over the authors craft Lalich’s original and groundbreaking research into an accessible and engaging book the first of its kind focusing on this particular population. | Escaping Utopia Growing Up in a Cult Getting Out and Starting Over

Examining knowledge about resilience from a multitude of sources including security policy media academic literature and the survivors themselves this book contends that in order to make empirical sense of resilience we must reckon with both its discursive and practical manifestations. An accessible and compelling read this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology victimology criminal justice and all those interested in the stories of survivors. | Victims of Political Violence and Terrorism Making Up Resilient Survivors

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

In sharp contrast with the current top-down medicalized method to treating addiction this book presents the felt sense polyvagal model (FSPM) a paradigm-shifting bottom-up approach that considers addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states and trauma. The felt sense polyvagal model draws from Porges' polyvagal theory Gendelin's felt sense and Lewis' learning model of addiction to offer a graphically illustrated and deeply embodied way of conceptualizing and treating addiction through supporting autonomic regulation. This model de-pathologizes addiction as it teaches embodied practices through tapping into the felt sense the body’s inner wisdom. Chapters first present a theoretical framework and demonstrate the graphic model in both clinician and client versions and then teach the clinician how to use the model in practice by providing detailed treatment strategies. This text’s informed compassionate approach to understanding and treating trauma and addiction is adaptable to any school of psychotherapy and will appeal to addiction experts trauma specialists and clinicians in all mental health fields. | Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

Measuring Up in Education Philosophical Explorations for Justice and Democracy Within and Beyond Cultures of Measurement in Educational Systems

Measuring Up in Education Philosophical Explorations for Justice and Democracy Within and Beyond Cultures of Measurement in Educational Systems

Cultures of measurement are often considered to dominate educational practices to the degree that as Biesta (2010) has identified in Good Education in an Age of Measurement we no longer measure what we value but rather we have become conditioned to value what is measured. A clear example of this occurs when institutions and staff teach to the test by emphasising narrow conceptions of learning and of knowledge simply because the consequences of high-stakes assessments have important implications regarding funding resources and even tenure. This collection explores via various philosophical means how valuable educational practices can occur within and beyond cultures of measurement. What seems to be required is for practitioners in education to regain their relationship to the overall purposes of education such as the furthering of justice and democracy for both individual students and societies as a whole. Such a reconnection has the potential to re-humanise curricular experiences for students which may have become dehumanised through particular cultures of measurement. It is argued that certain legitimate measures can advance justice and democracy and so careful attention must be assigned to their validity and value. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory. | Measuring Up in Education Philosophical Explorations for Justice and Democracy Within and Beyond Cultures of Measurement in Educational Systems

The Art and Politics of Asger Jorn The Avant-Garde Won't Give Up

The Art and Politics of Asger Jorn The Avant-Garde Won't Give Up

A leading figure of the postwar avant-garde Danish artist Asger Jorn has long been recognized for his founding contributions to the Cobra and Situationist International movements - yet art historical scholarship on Jorn has been sparse particularly in English. This study corrects that imbalance offering a synthetic account of the essential phases of this prolific artist’s career. It addresses his works in various media alongside his extensive writings and his collaborations with various artists' groups from the 1940s through the mid-1960s. Situating Jorn's work in an international post-Second World War context Karen Kurczynski reframes our understanding of the 1950s away from the Abstract-Expressionist focus on individual expression toward a more open-ended conception of art as a public engagement with contemporary culture and politics. Kurczynski engages with issues of interest to twenty-first-century artists and scholars highlighting Jorn's proposition that the sensory address of art and its complex relationship to popular media can have a direct social impact. Perhaps most significantly this study foregrounds Jorn's assertion that creativity is crucial to subjectivity itself in our increasingly mediated 'Society of the Spectacle.

Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

Television shows that we might call ‘prestige television’ represent prison in ways that are sometimes reductive sometimes powerful and sometimes exceedingly complex. This book examines various programmes across the genres of drama comedy and horror that utilize prison or places of incarceration as a central theme or setting to show how they conform to or challenge the standard conversation about the prison industrial complex and the common understanding of prisons as violent spaces where we house the worst among us. Drawing on the work of Angela Davis Doran Larson Dylan Rodriguez Michelle Alexander and Lisa Guenther the author presents focused studies of Orange Is the New Black Rectify American Horror Story and The Walking Dead (along with briefer discussions of The 100 police procedurals and popular sitcoms) to explore the responsibility of television to represent prison in as authentic a fashion as possible the exploitation of the incarcerated in reductive representations of prison and the shifting nature of the national conversation about prison as it is depicted on screen. As such the book will appeal to scholars of cultural and media studies criminology and sociology with interests in incarceration and representations of prison in popular culture. | Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

Bringing Up War-Babies The Wartime Child in Women’s Writing and Psychoanalysis at Mid-Century

Bringing Up War-Babies The Wartime Child in Women’s Writing and Psychoanalysis at Mid-Century

The figure of the wartime child in the mid-twentieth century unsettles and disturbs. This book employs a range of material – biographical literary and historical – to chart some of the surprising and unanticipated crossovers between women’s writing and early psychoanalysis in the years of the Second World War and the decades before and after. This volume includes examples of children’s adventure fiction as well as works written for adult audiences and important and previously unrecognized similarities are noted. The war was a disruptive influence in the lives of all who lived through it. Although active self-censorship is observed in the behaviour and attitudes of adults at this time this book demonstrates how fictional children are able to articulate feelings such as anxiety and fear that adults were under pressure to conceal or to repress and at times the figure of the wartime child becomes a surrogate for the writer herself or her suppressed fears and anxiety. When peace returned this study finds women writers quick to identify and communicate a discomfiting new ambivalence between parents and children. | Bringing Up War-Babies The Wartime Child in Women’s Writing and Psychoanalysis at Mid-Century

130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

This title was first published in 2000: Issues such as globalization and the fight against joblessness as well as the growth dynamics of economies in general have been linked with science and technology. Accordingly the growing public interest in the effects of science and technology on society and politics and vice versa have been the foremost reason for the creation of this study. One of the central questions for politicians as well as for scholars in the field of science and technology is How can I influence a given science and technology system in a way so as to achieve optimal outcomes for a given national economy?. The study at hand tries to answer this question by analyzing the Hungarian research sphere from industrialization until the late-20th century. Since the beginning of industrialization Hungary has made a number of attempts to catch up with the economically more developed Western European countries. The problems encountered in the course of the Hungarian efforts are surprisingly similar to the difficulties that modern fully industrialized economies are facing today. | 130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization
