Resistance to Belief Change Limits of Learning

Resistance to Belief Change Limits of Learning

This book examines the human proclivity to resist changing our beliefs. Drawing on psychological neurological and philosophical research and integrating topics as wide ranging as emotion cognition social (and physical) context and learning theory Lao and Young explore why this resistance to change impedes our learning and progression. They also suggest that failure to adapt our beliefs to available and informed evidence can incur costs that may be seen in personal growth politics science law medicine education and business. Resistance to Belief Change explores the various manifestations of resistance including overt discursive and especially inertial forms of resistance. As well as the influential factors that can impact upon them the book also examines how the self-directed learner as well as teachers may structure the learning experience to overcome resistance and facilitate progressive and adaptive learning. Lao and Young find that the impediments to learning and resistance to change are far more prevalent and costly than previously suggested in research and so this book will be of interest to a range of people in cognitive development social psychology and clinical and educational psychology. | Resistance to Belief Change Limits of Learning

What Tends to Be The Philosophy of Dispositional Modality

What Tends to Be The Philosophy of Dispositional Modality

People tend to enjoy listening to music or watching television sleeping at night and celebrating birthdays. Plants tend to grow and thrive in sunlight and mild temperatures. We also know that tendencies are not perfectly regular and that there are patterns in the natural world which are reliable to a degree but not absolute. What should we make of a world where things tend to be one way but could be another? Is there a position between necessity and possibility? If there is what are the implications for science knowledge and ethics?This book explores these questions and is the first full-length treatment of the philosophy of tendencies. Anjum and Mumford argue that although the philosophical language of tendencies has been around since Aristotle there has not been any serious commitment to the irreducible modality that they involve. They also argue that the acceptance of an irreducible and sui generis tendential modality ought to be the fundamental commitment of any genuine realism about dispositions or powers. It is the dispositional modality that makes dispositions authentically disposition-like. Armed with this theory the authors apply it to a variety of key philosophical topics such as chance causation epistemology and free will. | What Tends to Be The Philosophy of Dispositional Modality

Resistance and Transitional Justice

Resistance and Transitional Justice

Despite a more reflective concern over the past 20 years with marginalised voices justice from below power relations and the legitimacy of mechanisms and processes scholarship on transitional justice has remained relatively silent on the question of ‘resistance’. In response this book asks what can be learnt by engaging with resistance to transitional justice not just as a problem of process but as a necessary element of transitional justice. Drawing on literatures about resistance from geography and anthropology it is the social act of labelling resistance along with its subjective nature that is addressed here as part of the political economic social and cultural contexts in which transitional justice processes unfold. Working through three cases – Côte d’Ivoire Burundi and Cambodia – each chapter of the book addresses a different form or meaning of resistance from the vantage point of multiple actors. As such each chapter adds a different element to an overall argument that disrupts the norm/deviancy dichotomy that has so far characterised the limited work on resistance and transitional justice. Together the chapters of the book develop cross-cutting themes that elaborate an overall argument for considering resistance to transitional justice as a subjective element of a political process rather than as a problem of implementation.

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy? attempts to redefine music literacy with a more expansive meaning than is commonly in use and to articulate the potential impact of these ideas on music teaching practice. The notion of music literacy has involved the ability to read and write music scores. However this understanding does not extend theory to identify all music texts nor to offer a thorough treatment of what impact an expanded notion of music literacy might have on music instruction in the classroom and in ensembles. This book provides a formal expansive redefinition of music literacy. The author offers practical ideas for attending more effectively to music literacy in classroom instruction. The book highlights common elements in the music classroom: the music score the conductor surrounding ensemble members the musical model the musical instrument and presentations/recordings. It also describes four orientations that correspond to the National Core Music Standards (2014) and that characterize humans’ interactions with music: creator performer responder and connector. What is Music Literacy? uses these orientations along with a focus on authentic music texts and literacies to present literacy-based guidelines for music education along with numerous vignettes that describe actual literacy instructional events. | What is Music Literacy?

Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Postcolonial Film: History Empire Resistance examines films of the later twentieth and early twenty-first centuries from postcolonial countries around the globe. In the mid twentieth century the political reality of resistance and decolonization lead to the creation of dozens of new states forming a backdrop to films of that period. Towards the century’s end and at the dawn of the new millennium film continues to form a site for interrogating colonization and decolonization though against a backdrop that is now more neo-colonial than colonial and more culturally imperial than imperial. This volume explores how individual films emerged from and commented on postcolonial spaces and the building and breaking down of the European empire. Each chapter is a case study examining how a particular film from a postcolonial nation emerges from and reflects that nation’s unique postcolonial situation. This analysis of one nation’s struggle with its coloniality allows each essay to investigate just what it means to be postcolonial. | Postcolonial Film History Empire Resistance

Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

This book focuses on the question of how to understand quality use of research evidence in education or what it means to use research evidence well. Internationally there are widespread efforts to increase the use of research evidence within educational policy and practice. Such efforts raise important questions about how we understand not just the quality of evidence but also the quality of its use. To date there has been wide-ranging debate about the former but very little dialogue about the latter. Based on a five-year study with schools and school systems in Australia this book sheds new light on: why clarity about quality of use is critical to educational improvement; how quality use of research evidence can be framed in education; what using research well involves and looks like in practice; what quality research use means for individuals organisations and systems; and what aspects of using research well still need to be better understood. This book will be an invaluable resource for professionals within and beyond education who want to better understand what using research evidence well means and involves and how it can be supported. | Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

What Even Is Gender?

What Even Is Gender?

Debates about gender are everywhere. Is it an inner identity a biological fact or an oppressive system? Should we respect it or resist it? What Even Is Gender? shifts the conversation in a fresh direction arguing that these debates rest on a shared mistake: the idea that there is one thing called gender that both sides are arguing about. The authors distinguish a range of phenomena that established vocabulary often lumps together. This sheds light on the equivocations and false dichotomies of gender talk and how they deny many of us the tools to make our needs experiences and concerns intelligible to others or even to ourselves. The authors develop a conceptual toolkit that helps alleviate the harms that result from the limitations of familiar approaches. They propose a pluralistic concept of gender feels that distinguishes among our experiences of diverse facets of gendered life. They develop a flexible approach to gender categories that reflects the value of self-determination. And they suggest that what we need is not one universal language of gender but an awareness of individual variation and a willingness to adjust to changing contexts and circumstances. A bold and thought-provoking approach to thinking about gender What Even Is Gender? will be of great interest to those in philosophy gender studies sociology and LGBTQIA+ studies.

How Autocrats Abuse Power Resistance to Trump and Trumpism

How Autocrats Abuse Power Resistance to Trump and Trumpism

Chronicling and analyzing resistance to the threat that autocracy poses to American liberal democracy this book provides the definitive account of both Trump’s efforts to erode democracy’s essential elements and opposition to those efforts. This book is about the threat of autocracy which antedated Donald Trump and will persist after he leaves the stage. Autocrats blur or breach the separation of powers use executive orders to bypass the legislature pack the courts replace career prosecutors with political appointees abuse the pardon power and claim immunity from the law. They seek to hobble opposition from civil society by curtailing speech and assembly tolerating and even encouraging vigilante violence and attacking the media. As this book demonstrates Trump followed the autocrat’s playbook in many ways. He was a huckster of hate aiming his vitriol at women and racial minorities and making attacks on immigrants the focus of his 2016 campaign as well as his first years in office. Nevertheless his rhetoric and policies encountered widespread opposition—from religious leaders business executives lawyers and bar associations and civil servants. His executive orders (on which he relied) were almost all struck down by courts: including the first two “Muslim bans ” the detention of children and their separation from parents the diversion of military funds to build the border wall the insertion of a citizenship question in the census and the limits on asylum. Just as Trump sought to weaponize the criminal justice system against his political opponents so he manipulated it to defend his cronies derailing some of their prosecutions. Trump also intervened in courts martial and criminal prosecutions of those convicted of war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq and those accused of desertion and terrorism. Again however there was resistance as some career prosecutors withdrew from cases or resigned when subjected to political pressure and federal courts convicted all of Trump’s allies—even though the president went on to use his unreviewable pardon power. This book then documents the abuses that are characteristic of autocracy and assesses the various forms of resistance to them. This definitive account and analysis of Trumpism in action as well as the resistance to it will appeal to scholars students and others with interests in politics populism and the rule of law and more specifically to those concerned with resisting the threat that autocracy poses to liberal democracy. | How Autocrats Abuse Power Resistance to Trump and Trumpism

What is Consciousness? A Debate

What is Consciousness? A Debate

What is consciousness and why is it so philosophically and scientifically puzzling? For many years philosophers approached this question assuming a standard physicalist framework on which consciousness can be explained by contemporary physics biology neuroscience and cognitive science. This book is a debate between two philosophers who are united in their rejection of this kind of standard physicalism - but who differ sharply in what lesson to draw from this. Amy Kind defends dualism 2. 0 a thoroughly modern version of dualism (the theory that there are two fundamentally different kinds of things in the world: those that are physical and those that are mental) decoupled from any religious or non-scientific connotations. Daniel Stoljar defends non-standard physicalism a kind of physicalism different from both the standard version and dualism 2. 0. The book presents a cutting-edge assessment of the philosophy of consciousness and provides a glimpse at what the future study of this area might bring. Key Features Outlines the different things people mean by consciousness and provides an account of what consciousness is Reviews the key arguments for thinking that consciousness is incompatible with physicalism Explores and provides a defense of contrasting responses to those arguments with a special focus on responses that reject the standard physicalist framework Provides an account of the basic aims of the science of consciousness Written in a lively and accessibly style Includes a comprehensive glossary | What is Consciousness?
