Download or read book Women Power and the Academy written by Mary-Louise Kearney and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many nations affirm the principle of gender equality. As women continue to advance in most walks of life, the impression that equality has been reached and that gender issues no longer pose real problems has naturally gained ground. Yet, many cultural, economic, and social barriers remain. Although as many women as men possess the skills necessary to shape social and economic development, women are still prevented from fully participating in decision-making processes. The papers collected in this volume focus on universities as one of the key institutions providing women with the education and leadership skills necessary for their advancement. Equally important is the role universities play in the shaping of a society's cultural fabric and, consequently, of attitudes towards women and their place in society. Both aspects are examined in this volume on the basis of a number of case studies carried out in western and non-western societies.

Book excerpt: A shifter, three sexy mages, and an Elemental with magic thought to be extinct… what could possibly go wrong? I was born the day my parents died. Growing up in the foster system, I never knew when the rug would be pulled out from under me. Now, I’m twenty-two and while I’m technically free, life still isn’t easy. When a day at the beach turns into some kind of magical freak show featuring a guy with a fire lasso trying to hogtie me on the sidewalk, all kinds of crazy breaks loose. Next thing I know, I’m strapped to a bed, I can’t speak, and some woman is telling me I’m a Vox Elemental, which leaves me a choice between getting shipped off to a magic school to train my voice or be silenced forever. Of course I choose the school; who wouldn’t? One wrong move could cost me everything. My plan is to work hard and earn my freedom, but I wasn’t counting on four of the hottest guys I have ever seen, a posse of mean girls, and something literally making a meal out of the student body. Add some dark secrets and a plot aimed at my failure, and suddenly staying here seems like the wrong move. I won’t give up my voice or my freedom without a fight, but that’s assuming I survive.

Download or read book Grit written by Angela Duckworth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).

Download or read book Power in the Academy written by Jerome Satterthwaite and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry Eagleton leads this exploration of how power operates in the academy with the argument that power is itself no bad thing, and Slavoj i ek maintains that the people always have power and should be roused to use it.From his American perspective, Cameron McCarthy follows with a hard and disconcerting look at power and culture in the academy. Chris Langley points to the corrosive effect on UK universities of military contracts, and Sechaba Mahlomaholo extends this analysis to the South African scene, showing that it is not only money that corrodes the contemporary academy: personal forces are also at work. Sarah Ahmed draws this discussion together in her analysis of the cultural politics of power in the strange world of personal relationships. Contributors from the US, the Caribbean, China and the UK discuss the impact of power on research. These four chapters show power both overt and covert, internal and external to the universities at work to determine what research may be done, what methodology used and what constraints and protocols observed. The analysis is forbidding. But this book is not about submission. The message, culminating in Pat Sikes celebratory account of auto/biography as a valid research method, remains positive throughout. It may seem that power in the academy is vested in agencies whose programs have little to do with the free advancement of learning, yet the book shows clearly how good educational and good research practice can thrive and maintain the best traditions of the academy, come what may."

When some campers go missing, Poppy and her team of weekdays are on the case.
