Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Focusing on notions of diaspora identity and agency this book examines ethnicity in war-torn Sri Lanka. It highlights the historical development and negotiation of a new identification of Up-country Tamil amidst Sri Lanka’s violent ethnic politics. Over the past thirty years Up-country (Indian) Tamils generally have tried to secure their vision of living within a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka not within Tamil Eelam the separatist dream that ended with the civil war in 2009. Exploring Sri Lanka within the deep history of colonial-era South Asian plantation diasporas the book argues Up-country Tamils form a diaspora next-door to their ancestral homeland. It moves beyond simplistic Sinhala-Tamil binaries and shows how Sri Lanka’s ethnic troubles actually have more in common with similar battles that diasporic Indians have faced in Fiji and Trinidad than with Hindu-Muslim communalism in neighbouring India Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shedding new light on issues of agency citizenship displacement and re-placement within the formation of diasporic communities and identities this book demonstrates the ways that culture workers including politicians trade union leaders academics and NGO workers have facilitated the development of a new identity as Up-country Tamil. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of modern South Asia diaspora violence post-conflict nations religion and ethnicity. | Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Drawn from a lifetime’s experience of shared city-making from the bottom up within rapidly expanding urban metabolisms in Delhi Mumbai Agra Kathmandu West Africa and London Loose Fit City is about the ways in which city residents can learn through making to engage with the dynamic process of creating their own city. It looks at the nature and processes involved in loosely fitting together elements made by different people at different scales and times with different intentions into a civic entity which is greater than the sum of its parts. It shows how bottom-up learning through making can create a more vibrant and democratic city than the more flattened top-down centrally planned factory made version. Loose Fit City provides a new take on the subject of architecture defined as the study and practice of fitting together physical and cultural topography. It provides a comprehensive view of how the fourth dimension of time fits loosely together with the three spatial dimensions at different scales within the human horizon so as to layer meaning and depth within the places and metabolism of the city fabric. | Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Professional Issues in Work with Babies and Toddlers

Professional Issues in Work with Babies and Toddlers

Early childhood provision for babies and toddlers is in a critical phase. While governments are pushing for fast-paced expansion mainly to support the return of mothers to the labour market early childhood experts are deeply concerned about the quality of provision on offer for children up to age three. Research has consistently demonstrated that well-qualified educators are a crucial component towards ensuring a climate of sensitivity and responsiveness to individual children – and thus a central ingredient of high quality provision. However national policy choices regarding required professional education/training and required resources for supporting the well-being and learning opportunities of very young children are highly variable. The chapters in this book approach the topic of professional work with very young children in diverse ways employing varying theoretical frameworks research foci and research methodologies. They illustrate starkly divergent policy contexts in this case predominantly European with research located in Belgium France Finland Italy Sweden and the UK but also in South Africa and the USA. This book will be of interest to those conducting research into provision for infants and toddlers both at the micro-level of relationships and settings and at the macro-level of policy paradigms. Potential readers also include practitioners and prospective managers and leaders of early childhood centres as well as those offering initial and postgraduate early years teacher education and continuing professional development courses. This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Years. | Professional Issues in Work with Babies and Toddlers

The next few chapters introduce the basics of multilevel modeling developing a multilevel model extensions of the basic two-level model (e. g. three-level models models for binary and ordinal outcomes) and troubleshooting techniques for everyday-use programming and modeling problems along with potential solutions. Models for investigating individual and organizational change are next developed followed by models with multivariate outcomes and finally models with cross-classified and multiple membership data structures. The book concludes with thoughts about ways to expand on the various multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques introduced and issues (e. g. missing data sample weights) to keep in mind in conducting multilevel analyses. Key features of the third edition: Thoroughly updated throughout to reflect IBM SPSS Versions 26-27. Introduction to fixed-effects regression for examining change over time where random-effects modeling may not be an optimal choice.

Necessary Conditions Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation

Necessary Conditions Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation

During his years working as an instructional coach for a national network of schools Geoff Krall had the chance to witness several inspirational moments when math class comes alive for middle or high school students - when it is challenging but also fun creative and interactive. In Necessary Conditions: Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation Krall documents the essential ingredients that produce these sorts of moments on a regular basis and for all students. They are Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation. Academic Safety: Krall implements equitable classroom experiences that help fight stigmas associated with race and gender in schools. This allows students to feel socially and emotionally secure while nurturing their identities as mathematicians and increasing engagement during classroom discussions Quality Tasks: Teachers can adapt or create dynamic student-centered lessons that break down math into small manageable sections removing the frustrations felt by students who aren't considered math people Effective Facilitation: This book shows how to incorporate teaching moves and math routines designed for engagement persistence and interactivity. Teachers can allow students to explore safely while maintaining consistent classroom expectations. My work as a math instructional coach for a network of schools has afforded me the unique opportunity to visit exceptional teachers across the country documenting their tasks teaching moves and academically safe learning environments. You'll experience dispatches from these effective classrooms in which we'll observe how teachers attend to all three elements that make up the ecosystem.

Constructed Ecologies Critical Reflections on Ecology with Design

Constructed Ecologies Critical Reflections on Ecology with Design

Today designers are shifting the practice of landscape architecture towards the need for a more complex understanding of ecological science. Constructed Ecologies presents ecology as critical theory for design and provides major ideas for design that are supported with solid and imaginative science. In the questioning narrative of Constructed Ecologies the author discards many old and tired theories in landscape architecture. With detailed documentation she casts off the savannah theory critiques the search for universals reveals the needed role of designers in large-scale agriculture abandons the overlay technique of McHarg and introduces the ecological and urban health urgency of public night lighting. Margaret Grose presents wide-ranging new approaches and shows the importance of learning from science for design of going beyond assumptions of working in multiple rather than single issues of disrupting linear design thinking and of dealing with data. This book is written with a clear voice by an ecologist and landscape architect who has led design students into loving ecological science for the support it gives design. | Constructed Ecologies Critical Reflections on Ecology with Design

The Problem with Survey Research

The Problem with Survey Research

The Problem with Survey Research makes a case against survey research as a primary source of reliable information. George Beam argues that all survey research instruments all types of asking including polls face-to-face interviews and focus groups produce unreliable and potentially inaccurate results. Because those who rely on survey research only see answers to questions it is impossible for them or anyone else to evaluate the results. They cannot know if the answers correspond to respondents' actual behaviors (objective phenomena) or to their true beliefs and opinions (subjective phenomena). Reliable information can only be acquired by observation experimentation multiple sources of data formal model building and testing document analysis and comparison. In fifteen chapters divided into six parts Ubiquity of Survey Research The Problem Asking Instruments Asking Settings Askers and Proper Methods and Research DesignsThe Problem with Survey Research demonstrates how asking instruments settings in which asking and answering take place and survey researchers themselves skew results and thereby make answers unreliable. The last two chapters and appendices examine observation other methods of data collection and research designs that may produce accurate or correct information and shows how reliance on survey research can be overcome and must be.

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Current estimates indicate that approximately 2. 2 million people are incarcerated in federal state and local correctional facilities across the United States. There are another 5 million under community correctional supervision. Many of these individuals fall into the classification of special needs or special populations (e. g. women juveniles substance abusers mentally ill aging chronically or terminally ill offenders). Medical care and treatment costs represent the largest portion of correctional budgets and estimates suggest that these costs will continue to rise. In the community probation and parole officers are responsible for helping special needs offenders find appropriate treatment resources. Therefore it is important to understand the needs of these special populations and how to effectively care for and address their individual concerns. The Routledge Handbook of Offenders with Special Needs is an in-depth examination of offenders with special needs such as those who are learning-challenged developmentally disabled and mentally ill as well as substance abusers sex offenders women juveniles and chronically and terminally ill offenders. Areas that previously have been unexamined (or examined in a limited way) are explored. For example this text carefully examines the treatment of gay lesbian bisexual and transgender offenders and racial and gender disparities in health care delivery as well as pregnancy and parenthood behind bars homelessness and the incarceration of veterans and immigrants. In addition the book presents legal and management issues related to the treatment and rehabilitation of special populations in prisons/jails and the community including police-citizen interactions diversion through specialty courts obstacles and challenges related to reentry and reintegration and the need for the development and implementation of evidence-based criminal justice policies and practices. This is a key collection for students taking courses in prisons penology criminal justice criminology and related areas of study and an essential resource for academics and practitioners working with offenders with special needs. | Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

The book is supplemented with downloadable resources such as worksheets and handouts that professionals can use in practice. This book is intended as a pain management guide for therapists familiar with ACT and Islām. It will provide therapists with the tools to deliver a faith-adapted evidence-based treatment for clients who follow the Islāmic faith. | Integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Islāmic Psychotherapy for Managing Chronic Pain
