Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health Bodies Out of Sight

Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health Bodies Out of Sight

In today’s neoliberal times thinking about fitness and health is dominated by the media’s narratives of fit bodies which are presented and circulated in society as valued bodies. Outside that mainstream view however there are many people labeled bodies-at-risk: those who deviate from perceived norms of size shape race social class and gender. Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health draws attention to how neoliberal ideologies impacting the body overlook the intersection of class gender/sex and race that informs how young ethnic minoritized people embody and negotiate normative discourses of fitness and health. Indeed through the lens of critical race theory (CRT) post-feminism and postcolonialism Azzarito highlights young ethnic minoritized people’s struggles to find a culturally relevant sense of self. Arguing for the need to found educational spaces where young ethnic minoritized people can recognize themselves resist and counter-narrate negative stereotypes and self-represent to the public in affirmative ways Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as physical culture education sport sociology qualitative methods and cultural and visual studies as well as scholars and practitioners of physical education and health in schools. | Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health Bodies Out of Sight

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.

In such an industrial climate lax regulations on the products we are sold (supplements fad-diets training programs gadgets and garments) result in marketing campaigns underpinned by strong claims and weak evidence. Moreover our critical faculties are ill-suited to a culture characterized by fake news social media misinformation and bad science. We have become walking talking prey to 21st-Century Snake Oil salesmen. In The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science Nicholas B. Tiller confronts the claims behind the products and the evidence behind the claims. The author discusses what might be wrong with the sales pitch the glossy magazine advert and the celebrity endorsements that our heuristically-wired brains find so innately attractive. Tiller also explores the appeal of the one quick fix the fallacious arguments that are a mainstay of product advertising and the critical steps we must take in retraining our minds to navigate the pitfalls of the modern consumerist culture. This informative and accessible volume pulls no punches in scrutinizing the plausibility of and evidence for the most popular sports products and practices on the market. Readers are encouraged to confront their conceptualizations of the industry and by the book’s end they will have acquired the skills necessary to independently judge the effectiveness of sports-related products. This treatise on the commercialization of science in sport and exercise is a must-read for exercisers athletes students and practitioners who hope to retain their intellectual integrity in a lucrative health and fitness industry that is spiraling out-of-control. | The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry

Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care

Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care

In Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations: Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care Nawal Qarooni invites us to step beyond school-centric one-off events and practices to create more authentic engaging collaborations with caregivers. Instead of asking what families can do to support schools Qarooni asks how schools can identify and celebrate what families already inherently bring to their children’s literacy learning. Establishing this work in holistic teaching—a pedagogical mindset that affirms the importance of loving the whole child through compassionate collective care—Qarooni explores five critical literacy tenets by highlighting opportunities to listen for honor connect to and elevate family strengths while inviting them even further into our shared work and encouraging reflection around: Recognizing the journey of process Celebrating the role collaboration plays within the collective Using observational literacy to read the world Advocating for the power of talk to grow ideas and connect with others Giving children choice to make self-directed decisions With moments of memoir woven in alongside diverse family examples and classroom stories connected to realistic instructional practices Qarooni shows how all families contribute meaningfully to their children’s literacy lives. 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. With an afterword by En Comunidad authors Carla España and Luz Yadira Herrera Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations is rooted in the simple truth that we cannot separate knowing our students from knowing their home communities and the people that they love. This book offers a toolkit for connecting with families and elevating the intrinsic strengths that reside in every child’s home. | Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations Elevating Home Experiences and Classroom Practices for Collective Care

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

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home- based work has increased in recent decades and intensified as a result of policies created to control the spread of COVID-19 creating a labour market in rapid transition. Yet little attention has been paid to the issues associated with occupational health and safety or to how employers will monitor and maintain employee health and safety in a home- based work environment. Using historical case studies from Victorian Britain this book reflects on the past to examine resurfacing health and safety concerns that shaped and continue to shape the home- based working experience. Anchored by family research case studies this book presents documents and newspaper accounts about the diverse experiences of three real people who lived and worked from their homes in the Victorian era. Supported by academic and popular literature on work and policy about the era the book discusses changing worldviews and social context that shaped occupational health and safety at the time and critiques the outcomes of policies that were challenged to address these risks. The case study experiences are used as a touchstone between the past and present to draw parallels between important health and safety concerns that may be resurfacing in our modern post-COVID transition to home-based work. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers academics and postgraduate students of occupational health and safety occupational science labour history and human resource management as well as Victorian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners working across the fields of workplace and occupational health and safety. | Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents

A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents

The late David Wills spent a lifetime in the service of the so-called delinquent the misfit the maladjusted. He was the first Englishman to train as a psychiatric social worker and was well known for his books The Hawkspur Experiment The Barns Experiment etc. Originally published in 1970 this book describes another experiment with a hostel for boys leaving schools for maladjusted children and lacking any settled home from which to enter the community. It demonstrates once again David Wills’s conviction that the offender wants to be ‘good’ and will be helped by affection rather than by punishment. Yet it is obvious that the work was full of stress and that only people with some of the attributes of archangels could respond to the boys’ needs and remain in control of the situation. The book demonstrates the extent of deprivation suffered by such young people and that no ordinary hostels or lodgings will do if they are to be set upon a less turbulent course of life leading to truly adult independence. It added greatly to our understanding of the personalities experience of life and needs of maladjusted boys in their ‘teens at the time although the lessons drawn from it were disturbing in relation both to prevention and treatment. The penetration of David Wills’s assessment is beyond doubt and (as Dame Eileen Younghusband concludes in her Foreword) his book will give a great deal to those ‘trying in various capacities to help boys and girls who otherwise would grow into adulthood permanently handicapped emotionally and socially’. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1970. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents
