Linguistic Justice Black Language Literacy Identity and Pedagogy

Linguistic Justice Black Language Literacy Identity and Pedagogy

Bringing together theory research and practice to dismantle Anti-Black Linguistic Racism and white linguistic supremacy this book provides ethnographic snapshots of how Black students navigate and negotiate their linguistic and racial identities across multiple contexts. By highlighting the counterstories of Black students Baker-Bell demonstrates how traditional approaches to language education do not account for the emotional harm internalized linguistic racism or consequences these approaches have on Black students' sense of self and identity. This book presents Anti-Black Linguistic Racism as a framework that explicitly names and richly captures the linguistic violence persecution dehumanization and marginalization Black Language-speakers endure when using their language in schools and in everyday life. To move toward Black linguistic liberation Baker-Bell introduces a new way forward through Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy a pedagogical approach that intentionally and unapologetically centers the linguistic cultural racial intellectual and self-confidence needs of Black students. This volume captures what Antiracist Black Language Pedagogy looks like in classrooms while simultaneously illustrating how theory research and practice can operate in tandem in pursuit of linguistic and racial justice. A crucial resource for educators researchers professors and graduate students in language and literacy education writing studies sociology of education sociolinguistics and critical pedagogy this book features a range of multimodal examples and practices through instructional maps charts artwork and stories that reflect the urgent need for antiracist language pedagogies in our current social and political climate. | Linguistic Justice Black Language Literacy Identity and Pedagogy

Foundations of Futures Studies Volume 1: History Purposes and Knowledge

Foundations of Futures Studies Volume 1: History Purposes and Knowledge

Futures studies is a new field of inquiry involving systematic and explicit thinking about alternative futures. It aims to demystify the future make possibilities for the future more known to us and increase human control over the future. This book summarizes and expands contributions of futurists to the envisioning power and well-being of humanity. Bell brings together futurist intellectual tools describing and explaining not only the methods but also the nature concepts theories and exemplars of the field. Foundations of Futures Studies fulfills Bell's five main purposes for writing this two-volume effort: (1) to show that futures studies like other fields from anthropology to zoology exists as an identifiable sphere of intellectual activity; (2) to create a teaching instrument that can be used as a basic text for core courses in futures studies; (3) to futurize the thinking of specialists in other disciplines; (4) to contribute to the further development and improvement of futures studies; and (5) to provide tools to empower both ordinary people and leaders to act in ways that create better futures for themselves and their societies. Bell maintains that despite its sometimes doomsday rhetorical style and widespread use by special interests futures studies offers hope for the future of humanity and concrete ways of realizing that hope in the real world of our everyday lives. It will appeal to all interested in futures studies as well as sociologists economists political scientists and historians. | Foundations of Futures Studies Volume 1: History Purposes and Knowledge

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Fads are as common in mathematics as in any other human activity and it is always difficult to separate the enduring from the ephemeral in the achievements of one’s own time. An unfortunate effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn’t learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation Gauss’s hypergeometric function the gamma function and the basic problems of the calculus of variations—among others—as an undergraduate then he/she is unlikely to do so later. The natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such a course Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of differential equations and their wide range of applications. The author—a highly respected educator—advocates a careful approach using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter. With an emphasis on modeling and applications the long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curve and improves coverage of Fourier analysis numerical methods and linear algebra. Relating the development of mathematics to human activity—i. e. identifying why and how mathematics is used—the text includes a wealth of unique examples and exercises as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes throughout.

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor) racial differences in IQ cultural bias in IQ tests and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy such as Affirmative Action. 'Jensenism' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless Intelligence Race and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen's conclusions. | Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R.

Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Originally published in 2003. Western attitudes to crime were in the past rooted in concepts of sin and therefore of hopes for redemption and forgiveness. So what happens - to offenders and society as a whole - in a world where people no longer talk of sin but of evil. If hopes of redemption go too will revenge take the place of forgiveness? Kay Carmichael explores these dilemmas in this topical and provocative book. She traces the stories of Myra Hindley Mary Bell Sarah Payne James Bulger and his killers comparing public responses to such crimes in various Western countries. Art and literature are examined for the light they throw on the evolution of our ideas about sin and forgiveness - from Rembrandt to Nathaniel Hawthorne Samuel Becket Dali and writings inspired by the Holocaust. Turning to our own day Carmichael discusses the emergence of structural sins or 'iniquities' in which we may all find ourselves involved: poverty slavery violence and war are her themes. Her analysis leaves her sceptical about many contemporary appeals for forgiveness but hopeful about ideas of restorative justice. | Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

How To Write A Horror Movie

How To Write A Horror Movie

How to Write a Horror Movie is a close look at an always-popular (but often disrespected) genre. It focuses on the screenplay and acts as a guide to bringing scary ideas to cinematic life using examples from great (and some not-so-great) horror movies. Author Neal Bell examines how the basic tools of the scriptwriter’s trade - including structure dialogue humor mood characters and pace – can work together to embody personal fears that will resonate strongly on screen. Screenplay examples include classic works such as 1943’s I Walked With A Zombie and recent terrifying films that have given the genre renewed attention like writer/director Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed and financially successful Get Out. Since fear is universal the book considers films from around the world including the ‘found-footage’ [REC] from Spain (2007) the Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In (2008) and the Persian-language film Under The Shadow (2016). The book provides insights into the economics of horror-movie making and the possible future of this versatile genre. It is the ideal text for screenwriting students exploring genre and horror and aspiring scriptwriters who have an interest in horror screenplays.

The Rise of Business Ethics

The Rise of Business Ethics

In 1973 Daniel Bell argued that corporations in post-industrial societies increasingly needed to behave in accord with widely accepted social norms particularly in terms of ethical behavior and social responsibility. Yet widespread criticism of business behavior was not an invention of the 1960s and 70s or a product of changing commercial norms. The key feature historically has been business scandal. Understandings of how the field of business ethics has emerged are undeveloped however. This book is the first attempt to explain the conditions which saw a focus develop on business ethics especially in the 1960s and 70s and how the broader field developed to encompass related notions such as corporate governance corporate social responsibility ethical leadership sustainable business and responsible management education. The Rise of Business Ethics provides an introduction and analysis of the key developments in contemporary business ethics by examining them in terms of their diachronic development – the key thinkers the key issues the key institutions and how they each contributed to contemporary understandings of business ethics governance and practice. Addressing the topic from a European as well as North American perspective The Rise of Business Ethics will be of interest to researchers academics and students in the fields of business ethics business and society business history organization studies and political economy.

The Making of Modern Uganda

The Making of Modern Uganda

First published in 1958 The Making of Modern Uganda is concerned with the formation of modern Uganda in the sixty years since the 1890s when the foundations of the British administration were laid. In the first decade of the 20th century Sir Hesketh Bell Uganda’s Governor decided that Uganda should be built up by Africans under the disinterested guidance of Europeans. The book therefore traces the emergence of a territory whose material prosperity is mainly based upon peasant agriculture guided by the advice of British agricultural officers. It describes the development from an era of tribal clan and even village organisation to the system of centralised government along semi-parliamentary lines but notes the disagreement as to whether Uganda’s future should lie as a unitary or a federal state. The controversial issue of closer union with the other East African territories is studied at some length as also is the growth of the politically active minority which plays so important a part in the modern Protectorate. The author believes that the years of ‘happy Uganda’ the years before the Second World War were a period in which hard work coupled with peace and obvious progress tended to conceal for many the growth of new forces which needed an outlet and only found one in the political and constitutional developments of the post-war age. This book will be of interest to students of history African studies ethnic studies and political science.
