The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Young People

The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Young People

This companion interrogates the relationship between theatre and youth from a global perspective taking in performances and theatre made by for and about young people. These different but interrelated forms of theatre are addressed through four critical themes that underpin the ways in which analysis of contemporary theatre in relation to young people can be framed: political utterances – exploring the varied ways theatre becomes a platform for political utterance as a process of dialogic thinking and critical imagining; critical positioning – examining youth theatre work that navigates the sensitive dynamic and complex terrains in which young people live and perform; pedagogic frames – outlining a range of contexts and programmes in which young people learn to make and understand theatre that reflects their artistic capacities and aesthetic strategies; applying performance – discussing a range of projects and companies whose work has been influential in the development of youth theatre within specific contexts. Providing critical research-informed and research-based discussions on the intersection between young people their representation and their participation in theatre this is a landmark text for students scholars and practitioners whose work and thinking involves theatre and young people. | The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Young People

Sport Pedagogy An Introduction for Teaching and Coaching

Sport Pedagogy An Introduction for Teaching and Coaching

Sport Pedagogy offers an essential starting point for anyone who cares about sport education and young people. It offers invaluable theoretical and practical guidance for studying to become an effective teacher or coach and for anyone who wants to inspire children and young people to engage in and enjoy sport for life. The book also focuses on you as a learner in sport prompting you to reflect critically on the ways in which your early learning experiences might affect your ability to diagnose the learning needs of young people with very different needs. Sport Pedagogy is about learning in practice. It refers both the ways in which children and young people learn and the pedagogical knowledge and skills that teachers and coaches need to support them to learn effectively. Sport pedagogy is the study of the place where sport and education come together. The study of sport pedagogy has three complex dimensions that interact to form each pedagogical encounter: Knowledge in context - what is regarded as essential or valuable knowledge to be taught coached or learnt is contingent upon historical social and political contextual factors that define practice; Learners and learning -at the core of sport pedagogy is expertise in complex learning theories and a deep understanding of diversity and its many impacts on the ways in which young learners can learn; Teachers/teaching and coaches/coaching - effective teachers and coaches are lifelong learners who can harness the power of sport for diverse children and young people. Gaining knowledge and understanding of the three dimensional concept of sport pedagogy is the first step towards ensuring that the rights of large numbers of children and young people to effective learning experiences in and through sport are not denied. The book is organised into three sections: background and c | Sport Pedagogy An Introduction for Teaching and Coaching

Human Factors in Lighting

Human Factors in Lighting

The availability of electric lighting has changed the lives of people the world over yet as a major user of electricity it has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This scrutiny has focused largely on the environmental consequences with little consideration of the benefits of lighting. Human Factors in Lighting Third Edition restores some balance to the discussion by examining the ways in which people interact with lighting. These interactions influence the ability to perform visual tasks; the perception of people objects and spaces; human comfort and behavior; as well as human health and safety. It is only by understanding how to use light to achieve these ends that lighting can be provided effectively and efficiently to the benefit of all. See What‘s New in the Third Edition: New chapters on the non-image-forming system lighting for pedestrians light pollution and lighting and electricity use Revision of all other chapters to update them to take into account the advances that have been made in our understanding of the effects of light on people over the last decade Integration of the combined effects of light via the visual and non-image-forming systems on performance and perception The book covers both the visual and the non-visual effects of light on people as well as the benefits of lighting and the costs it imposes on the environment. It details the consequences of exposure to lighting or lighting technology and the role of exposure to light on such basic functions of the body as circadian rhythms. The author combines information from many different sources and integrates them into a coherent overview of lighting practice that can be used to develop better lighting solutions at a lower environmental cost.

Chemoprophylaxis and Virus Infections of the Respiratory Tract Volume 2

Originally it was our intention to produce a single-volume book covering all aspects and approaches to the problem of specific inhibitors of respiratory viruses. However as the work progressed it became obvious that certain chapters because of the research interests of the authors concentrated particularly on influenza viruses. It seemed logical therefore to divide the book into two volumes the first emphasizing influenza and the second concentrating on other viruses as well as discussing important general aspects of drug screening and clinical testing although the second volume does have some chapters which deal mainly with influenza. | Chemoprophylaxis and Virus Infections of the Respiratory Tract Volume 2

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture offers the first essential grounding of critical youth studies within sociolinguistic research. Young people are often seen to be at the frontline of linguistic creativity and pioneering communicative technologies. Their linguistic practices are considered a primary means of exploring linguistic change as well as the role of language in social life such as how language and identity ideology and power intersect. Bringing together leading and cutting-edge perspectives from thought leaders across the globe this handbook: addresses how young people’s cultural practices as well as forces like class gender ethnicity and race influence language considers emotions affect age and ageism materiality embodiment and the political youth as well as processes of unmooring language and place critically reflects on our understandings of terms such as ‘language’ ‘youth’ and ‘culture’ drawing on insights from youth studies to help contextualise age within power dynamics features examples from a wide range of linguistic contexts such as social media and the classroom as well as expressions such as graffiti gestures and different musical genres including grime and hip-hop Providing important insights into how young people think feel act and communicate in the complexity of a polarised world The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture is an invaluable resource for advanced students and researchers in disciplines including sociolinguistics linguistic anthropology multilingualism youth studies and sociology.
