Download or read book Bounding Greed written by René O. Guillaume and published by IAP. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the work of Guillaume (2021), the collection of autoethnographies and testimonios in this book highlight positive coping mechanisms, strategies, and healthy boundaries that early, middle, and late-career Faculty of Color at comprehensive universities have deployed to negotiate home and work. As beautifully stated by Aeriel A. Ashlee, whose story you will find in chapter two: “It is not a formula, a blueprint to copy, or a recipe to repeat;” however, we hope that the stories about relying on faith, family, mentors, culture, and community presented in the following chapters will support Faculty of Color in their own well-being and work-life integration efforts. Certainly, work-life balance or integration is not the solution to deeply entrenched systemic issues in higher education; however, research in the area of work-life balance/integration has affirmed the need for postsecondary institutions to place significant importance on the topic of work-life, in particular the need for increased support at both the department and institutional levels (Denson et al., 2018). Thus, it is also our hope that this book will serve as a resource for educational leaders in the area of faculty development, as well as academic administrators whose role is to recruit, retain, and evaluate Faculty of Color at comprehensive universities.

Book Creating Space for Ourselves as Minoritized and Marginalized Faculty

Download or read book Creating Space for Ourselves as Minoritized and Marginalized Faculty written by Claudia Garcia-Louis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating Space for Ourselves as Minoritized and Marginalized Faculty moves away from conventional faculty success books by providing early career faculty with innovative perspectives about successfully navigating the professoriate, while humanizing their lived experiences and naming the unspoken. Through the use of interdisciplinary methods, such as creative artistic expression, testimonios, and personal narratives, chapter authors share experiences learned about surviving, thriving, navigating, and succeeding as early career underrepresented and marginalized faculty. Chapters discuss issues such as navigating workplace hostility, finding community beyond the academy, work–life balance, and crafting a scholarly identity, while also offering little-known tips about how to survive the professoriate while growing into thriving minoritized and underrepresented scholars. This book explores personal and institutional factors that are seldom discussed in other career success books, helping faculty as well as institutional leaders understand how we can, individually and collectively, create systems that invite and recognize humanity while ensuring successful career pathways for marginalized folks with doctoral degrees.

This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The IMPACT of the Scholarly Practitioner Doctorate: Developing Socially-Just Leaders to Make Equitable Change is a collection of shared counternarratives between EdD alums and their supervising professor mentors, detailing their dissertation in practice (DiP) journeys as scholarly practitioners and the impact of the scholarly practitioner doctorate on their paths from doctoral students to socially-just leaders in a wide range of educational fields. The IMPACT of the Scholarly Practitioner Doctorate posits these relationships as the catalyst in bringing theory learned in course work to scholarly research that is positioned within practice, focused on contributing to equity-centered work. The book serves as an exemplar learning companion to a wide audience and diverse EdD programs looking to modify, develop, or redesign their programs to align with The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) concepts including signature pedagogy, laboratories of practice, inquiry as practice and mentoring and advising. The IMPACT of the Scholarly Practitioner Doctorate demonstrates how change in education, community, and organizations have been impacted in efficacious ways. EdD students and their supervising professors, faculty, and administrators will be able to use this book’s content as their own catalyst for building socially-just leadership knowledge, skills, and dispositions while preparing their EdD students to exhibit equitable change in the professional practice areas they are in.

Book Race  Social Science and the Crisis of Manhood  1890 1970

Download or read book Race Social Science and the Crisis of Manhood 1890 1970 written by Malinda A. Lindquist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We need look no further than our local and national newspapers to see that black males are in a state of crisis in the United States. This book explains not only how we have come to tell the story of the young black male crisis, but examines the gender of the American social science tradition from its white male supremacist foundations. This is a story of pioneering black social scientists as much as it is a history of the changing perceptions, ideals, and shifting depictions of black and white manhood over nearly a century. Offering a fresh perspective on the history of ideas of black manhood, author Malinda Lindquist builds upon the foundational works of gender, intellectual, and African American historians, as well as literary critics, arguing that much of what we think we know about black men is a product of how the social sciences have explicitly informed and subtly molded how we as a nation approach and answer the question, "Who are men?" She conveys how black social scientists’ theory of masculinist social change has been reduced over the decades from a wide-ranging political, cultural, scientific, and economic agenda to combat white male supremacy to an ever diminishing vision of the race crisis as a problem of the young black male that barely engages with the broader white male supremacist traditions of institutionalized violence, social injustice, and economic inequality. Until this masculinist social science tradition is replaced with a gender-neutral vision of democratic social change and a commitment to a radical equality of opportunity and outcome, we are likely to continue to identify black boys as the problem rather than as a provocative, masculinist, politically-potent symptom of the continuing significance of race and class in a troubled nation.

Book Metaeconomics

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gary D. Lynne
  • Publisher : Springer Nature
  • Release : 2020-11-13
  • ISBN : 3030506010
  • Pages : 315 pages

Download or read book Metaeconomics written by Gary D. Lynne and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the Metaeconomics Framework and Dual Interest Theory, which weave the empathy-based moral and ethical dimension back into key economic questions. Metaeconomics addresses the problem of placing too much emphasis on the market or the government, and thus argues that seeing the link between ego and empathy, self- and other-interest, and market and government will lead to a more just, fair, and sustainable polity. The unique Dual Interest Theory proposes that ego-based self-interest and empathy-based other-interest are joint and internal to each person: it maintains the original proposition from Adam Smith that each person maximizes their own-interest, which Metaeconomics makes clear involves balancing the two joint interests, although self-interest is more primal. The book begins with an explanation of how Metaeconomics connects the other kinds of economics. The book then provides a series of applications of Metaeconomics in heated policy issues, such as elections, finance, family, food, health, natural resources, education, taxes, and extreme inequality, among others. Finally, the book concludes that the only way to save capitalism is to bring empathy into both private and public actions and bring about a more humane balance in market and government.

Book Incomplete Category Fronting

Download or read book Incomplete Category Fronting written by Gereon Müller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incomplete Category Fronting is a detailed investigation of the syntax of incomplete category fronting in German, carried out from a cross-linguistic perspective. The study presents a wealth of empirical evidence involving unbound traces created by remnant topicalization, wh-movement, scrambling, left dislocation, and extraposition. Four characteristic properties of remnant movement are identified that pose severe problems for a representational movement theory. It is argued that these properties can be fruitfully addressed on the basis of Chomsky's minimalist program, and that they follow from a derivational movement theory that incorporates the Barriers Condition, the Strict Cycle Condition, Fewest Steps, Last Resort, and the Minimal Link Condition but completely dispenses with surface filters. Incomplete Category Fronting provides an empirical underpinning for the minimalist program and presents a powerful argument for a derivational theory of grammar. Audience: Incomplete Category Fronting will interest all linguists working on theoretical syntax, Germanic syntax or the syntax-semantics interface.

Book Boundaries in China

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Hay
  • Publisher : Reaktion Books
  • Release : 1994
  • ISBN : 9780948462382
  • Pages : 364 pages

Download or read book Boundaries in China written by John Hay and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boundary making, a crucial element in human cultural creativity, links these essays exploring Chinese art and society. Traversing time and cultural category, individual expression and social construct, the authors demonstrate how a 'boundary' may exist simultaneously as barrier, threshold and interface. The essays range from the creation of the first political and bureaucratic boundaries in early China, to the dismantling of discursive boundaries in the post-Mao era. Spanning diverse subjects, moving between ancient funerary art and the tension between self and image in modern Peking Opera, they deftly explore the psychodynamics of Chinese society. All the authors in this book are established Sinologists. Boundaries in China will be stimulating reading for anyone interested to see how the seemingly tangential or peripheral can turn out to be of central concern in non-Western (and perhaps also Western) art and culture.

This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
