Download or read book Respect on Campus in an Age of Growing Disrespect written by Robert Engvall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the generalized topic of “respect” on college and university campuses from the perspectives of a variety of participants. It highlights perspectives held by different individuals culminating in a conversation about the evolution of respect issues on campus and how those issues are reflected by our broader society. There are a variety of contributors: students, faculty members, student support personnel, as well as staff persons, all of whom have contact with students in a variety of venues and with widely varying power differentials. While there can be no single agreement upon what the issue of “respect” means to a variety of participants, there nevertheless can be a discussion about the evolution of issues of respect on campus and in educational settings. This book contributes to a larger conversation regarding respect and is a helpful starting point for increased consideration of this issue. In this particularly polarized political environment and one in which the coarseness of language and behavior seems ever expanding, it is interesting to assess what is happening on campus and how a variety of campus actors view issues of respect moving forward.

Download or read book Representations of Sports Coaches in Film written by Katharina Bonzel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking interdisciplinary collection brings together leading international scholars working across the humanities and social sciences to examine ways in which representations of sports coaching in narrative and documentary cinema can shape and inform sporting instruction. The central premise of the volume is that films featuring sports coaches potentially reflect, reinforce or contest how their audiences comprehend the world of coaching. Despite the growing interest in theories of coaching and in the study of the sports film as a genre, specific analyses of filmic depictions of sports coaches are still rare despite coaches often having a central role as figures shaping the values, social situation and cultural expectations of the athletes they train. By way of a series of enlightening and original studies, this volume redresses the relative neglect afforded to sports coaching in film and simultaneously highlights the immense value that research in this emerging field has for sporting performance and social justice. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Sports Coaching Review.
