Download or read book Peer Relationships at School written by Emma Soye and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. It is increasingly recognized that ethnonational frameworks are inadequate when examining the complexity of social life in contexts of migration and diversity. This book draws on ethnographic research in two UK secondary schools, considering the shifting roles of migration status, language, ethnicity, religion and precarity in young people’s peer relationships. The book challenges culturalist understandings of social cohesion, highlighting the divisive impacts of neoliberalism, from pervasive temporariness and domestic abuse to technologization and neighbourhood violence. Using Martin Buber’s relational model, the book explores the interplay of ‘I-It’ boundary-making with reciprocal ‘I-Thou’ encounters, pointing to the creative power of these encounters to subvert, reimagine and even transform social difference. The author provides a pragmatic and ultimately hopeful view of the dynamics of diversity in everyday life, offering valuable insights for social policy and practice.

Download or read book Empowered Students written by Kerry Decker Rutishauser and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All children deserve the opportunity to practice freedom of thought, voice, and movement in school. Giving students the opportunity to practice freedom--to teach them how to be autonomous, responsible, cooperative and critically literate--should be done in communities and schools across the country, and this book shows how. The key ability of the human brain that cannot be digitized or mechanized is its ability to interpret—that is, to cope with the intentions of another, to understand what was said and what was meant. Humans have the ability to work together as a team toward a common goal (i.e. cooperate), to be altruistic and make sacrifices to help others, to build trust, and to feel empathy or sympathy—and robots do not. Developing and using these interpretive and cooperative skills is essential to having a nation of thoughtful citizens who are capable of seeing themselves as solutions to the problems and issues we face. Empowered Students: Educating Flexible Minds for a Flexible Future is a theory-to-practice story of how students at a segregated and failing New York City high school were released from years of oppressive schooling practices and learned how to practice freedom, told through the voices and the people who built it: the school leaders, teachers and students.

Download or read book Getting Me Cheap written by Amanda Freeman and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two groundbreaking sociologists explore the way the American dream is built on the backs of working poor women Many Americans take comfort and convenience for granted. We eat at nice restaurants, order groceries online, and hire nannies to care for kids. Getting Me Cheap is a riveting portrait of the lives of the low-wage workers—primarily women—who make this lifestyle possible. Sociologists Lisa Dodson and Amanda Freeman follow women in the food, health care, home care, and other low-wage industries as they struggle to balance mothering with bad jobs and without public aid. While these women tend to the needs of well-off families, their own children frequently step into premature adult roles, providing care for siblings and aging family members. Based on years of in-depth field work and hundreds of eye-opening interviews, Getting Me Cheap explores how America traps millions of women and their children into lives of stunted opportunity and poverty in service of giving others of us the lives we seek. Destined to rank with works like Evicted and Nickle and Dimed for its revelatory glimpse into how our society functions behind the scenes, Getting Me Cheap also offers a way forward—with both policy solutions and a keen moral vision for organizing women across class lines.

When he awoke and found himself in a mysterious place that was unlike anywhere on Earth, he assumed the unthinkable had happened – that he had died (unfortunately… he was right). Standing at the foot of an unimaginably tall tower, his destiny laid before him, he was greeted by a terrifying spectre known simply as ‘the Headmaster’, the Angel of Death (or at least ‘the spectre formally known as the Angel of Death’). What Tom would find at St Michael’s, along with friendship, adventure and blossoming young love, were the answers to the questions that had plagued him since the death of his brother. But little did he know, what he would find there would change his existence forever…
