Women Global Protest Movements and Political Agency Rethinking the Legacy of 1968

Women Global Protest Movements and Political Agency Rethinking the Legacy of 1968

This volume analyses and historicises the memory of 1968 (understood as a marker of an emerging will for social change around the turn of that decade rather than as a particular calendar year) focusing on cultural memory of the powerful signifier '68' and women’s experience of revolutionary agency. After an opening interrogation of the historical and contemporary significance of 1968 – why does it still matter? how and why is it remembered in the contexts of gender and geopolitics? and what implications does it have for broader feminist understandings of women and revolutionary agency? – the contributors explore women’s historical involvement in 1968 in different parts of the world and the different ways in which women’s experience as victims and perpetrators of violence are remembered and understood. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of protest and violence in the fields of history politics and international relations sociology cultural studies and women’s studies. | Women Global Protest Movements and Political Agency Rethinking the Legacy of 1968

The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

This book describes all of the important factors that cause some students to have low reading achievement and others to have high reading achievement. It concentrates on the main factors that influence how much a student gains in reading achievement during a year of school or a calendar year. An attempt is made to answer the following questions: what can educators do to increase reading achievement and what is beyond their influence? The author is directly concerned with achievement associated with normal or typical reading. The focus of the book is on things teachers can do during an entire school year that are likely to improve the reading level and reading rate of students which in turn will increase their reading achievement. This effort to specify the most important causes of high and low reading achievement represents an integration of two disciplines of scientific psychology-experimental psychology and psychometrics. A glossary at the end of the book contains definitions of terms and concepts. Helpful appendices explain rauding theory the three laws of rauding theory and the equations that can be used to predict the accuracy of reading comprehension provide conversions among units of rauding rate and list the numbered equations presented in the book. | The Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement

The Imperfect Primary Oddities Biases and Strengths of U.S. Presidential Nomination Politics

The Imperfect Primary Oddities Biases and Strengths of U.S. Presidential Nomination Politics

The complex and ever-changing rules governing American presidential nomination contests are continuously up for criticism but there is little to no consensus on exactly what the problems are or on how to fix them. The evolving system is hardly rational because it was never carefully planned. So how are we to make sense of the myriad complexities in the primary process and how it affects the general election and calls for change? In this thoroughly updated third edition of The Imperfect Primary political scientist Barbara Norrander explores how presidential candidates are nominated and how that process bridges to the general election campaign; discusses past and current proposals for reform; and examines the possibility for more practical incremental changes to the electoral rules. Norrander reminds us to be careful what we wish for – reforming the presidential nomination process is as complex as the current system. Through the modeling of empirical research to demonstrate how questions of biases can be systematically addressed students can better see the advantages disadvantages and potential for unintended consequences in a whole host of reform proposals. New to the Third Edition Fully updated through the 2016 elections with an eye toward 2020. Tracks the changing role of key primary features including superdelegates political action committees debates rule changes open and closed primaries caucuses and the electoral calendar. Includes new discussions of the impact of multicandidate contests and The Good Bad and Ugly of Social Media. Continues the discussion of Electoral College challenges and reforms. | The Imperfect Primary Oddities Biases and Strengths of U. S. Presidential Nomination Politics

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i. e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. | Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour
