Race and Inequality: World Perspectives on Affirmative Action
by Elaine Kennedy-DubourdieuHow do societies achieve cohesion in countries where the population is formed of different racial and ethnic groups? Although the debate continues, one constant is the agreement on the need for equality for all citizens of such societies. These egalitarian principles are believed by many to underpin a stable and just society. The question then arises of how best to achieve this equality? This book looks at the policy of affirmative action as it has evolved in different parts of the world: Australia, Canada, Great Britain, India, Northern Ireland, South Africa and the United States. The detailed juxtaposition of country case-studies allows readers to make comparisons and highlight disparities. Although affirmative action has operated in favour of various segments of the population, this book concentrates on the policy with regard to racial/ethnic groups. It explores the origin of the concept: where and how the policy emerged and what form it has taken, in order to open up the debate on this highly sensitive area of social policy.

Raising Boys' Achievement in Primary Schools (UK Higher Education OUP Humanities & Social Sciences Education OUP)
by Molly Warrington Mike YoungerWithin the context of empirical research undertaken by the authors during the course of a 4-year research and intervention project on Raising Boys’ Achievement, the book will focus on approaches that are successful in raising achievement for boys, and the reasons for that success. It will explore the whole aspect of boys’ achievement, and look at how primary schools are addressing the issue, and the processes involved in schools working collaboratively and voluntarily to share good practice. Case study material will be used to illustrate the different contexts in which the strategies have been studied, and of great importance is the incorporation of boys’ and girls’ own perspectives on their educational experiences.
Rauchen zwischen Sucht und Genuss (Forschung Gesellschaft)
by Birgitta KolteBirgitta Kolte überprüft die Plausibilität des Suchtkonzeptes im Tabakbereich durch problemzentrierte Interviews mit KonsumentInnen und erhebt in diesem Zusammenhang zugleich die Morphologie differenter Gebrauchsmuster. Hierbei sind einerseits sogenannte "kontrollierte" oder auch genussorientierte Konsummuster von besonderem Interesse; andererseits wird untersucht, wie sich das "Erklärungsprinzip der Sucht" in den Deutungen des eigenen Rauchverhaltens bei den unterschiedlichen KonsumentInnengruppen repräsentiert. Die Autorin zeigt, dass sich die Problematisierung des Rauchens als Nikotinsucht gesundheitspolitisch als kontraproduktiv erweist, da sie im Sinne einer sich selbst erfüllenden Prophezeiung sowohl eine autonome Steuerung des Zigarettenkonsums als auch Entwöhnungsversuche erschwert.
The Re-Enchantment of the West, Vol 2: Alternative Spiritualities, Sacralization, Popular Culture and Occulture
by Christopher PartridgeThe Re-Enchantment of the West challenges those theories that predict widespread secularization beyond traditional institutional religiosity. Spiritualities are emerging that are not only quite different from the those forms of religion that are in decline, but are often defined over against them and articulated and passed on in ways quite different from those of traditional religion. In particular, it is argued that such contemporary Western spirituality is fed by a constantly replenished reservoir of ideas, practices, and methodologies, which is here termed 'occulture'. Moreover, such occultural ideas both feed into and are resourced by popular culture. Indeed, popular occulture is a key feature of the re-enchantment of the West.Demonstrating the significance and ubiquity of these ideas, this book examines, for example, healthcare and nursing, contemporary environmentalism, psychedelia and drug use, the Internet and cyberspirituality, belief in UFOs and extraterrestrial life, demonology and the contemporary fascination with the figure of Satan, the heavy metal subculture, popular apocalypticism, and millennial violence.
Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics: Toward a Pedagogy for Social Justice (Critical Social Thought)
by Eric GutsteinMathematics education in the United States can reproduce social inequalities whether schools use either "basic-skills" curricula to prepare mainly low-income students of color for low-skilled service jobs or "standards-based" curricula to ready students for knowledge-intensive positions. And working for fundamental social change and rectifying injustice are rarely included in any mathematics curriculum. Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics argues that mathematics education should prepare students to investigate and critique injustice, and to challenge, in words and actions, oppressive structures and acts. Based on teacher-research, the book provides a theoretical framework and practical examples for how mathematics educators can connect schooling to a larger sociopolitical context and concretely teach mathematics for social justice.

Realising Systems Thinking: Knowledge and Action in Management Science (Contemporary Systems Thinking #Vol. 14)
by John MingersThis book deals with the contribution of a systems approach to a range of disciplines from philosophy and biology to social theory and management. It weaves together material from some of the pre-eminent thinkers of the day. In doing so it creates a coherent path from fundamental work on philosophical issues of ontology and epistemology through specific domains of knowledge about the nature of information and meaning, human communication, and social intervention.
Realism, Philosophy and Social Science
by K. Dean J. Joseph J. Roberts C. WightThe authors examine the relationship between social science and philosophy and ask what sort of work social science and an accompanying philosophy should do. They reintroduce the question of ontology, through the work of Roy Bhaskar. The book argues against philosophising and is committed to a philosophical approach grounded in the social sciences.

Rechtsextremismus und Geschlecht: Politische Selbstverortung weiblicher Auszubildender
by Esther BurkertDie Arbeit geht anhand von Interviews mit weiblichen Auszubildenden der Frage nach ihrer politischen Selbstverortung einerseits in Hinblick auf Migration und Migrationspolitik, andererseits in Hinblick auf den organisierten Rechtsextremismus und rechtsextreme Jugendcliquen in ihrem sozialen Umfeld nach. Besonderer Schwerpunkt wird dabei auf das Verhältnis der geäußerten Orientierungen und dem in den Interviews geschilderten Handeln in Alltagssituationen gelegt.Die Autorin bezieht in ihre Untersuchung neuere angloamerikanische Literatur zu ‚prejudice’ und ‚everyday racism’ wie auch zu ‚gender’ ein, um neue Perspektiven in die deutsche Debatte zu jugendlichen Rechtsextremismus und „weiblichen" Rechtsextremismus einzubringen. In ihrer Analyse zeichnet sie soziale Konstruktionsprozesse von „Ethnie" und „Geschlecht“ auf zwei ineinander verschränkten Ebenen nach, den Alltagsdeutungen der Auszubildenden im Interview – und dem Forschungsprozess. Sie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Geschlecht sehr wohl eine Rolle spielt – jedoch weniger auf der Einstellungsebene bzw. der Ebene individueller Äußerungen, auf der vorwiegend vorherrschende soziale Repräsentationen geteilt werden. Hier werden allgemeine Topoi wie „Kriminalität", „Konkurrenz am Arbeitsmarkt“ oder „kulturelle Unterschiede" auf geschlechtsdifferente Lebenswelten heruntergebrochen. Die gefunden geschlechtsspezifischen Besonderheiten, insbesondere in der Beteiligung am organisierten Rechtsextremismus und im Verhältnis zu direkter Gewalt, führt zur Frage nach der nach Geschlecht differenten Wirkung von Strukturen wie Familie, heterosexuelle Partnerschaft, Gleichaltigenclique, Arbeitswelt und Militär.
Recovering Informal Learning: Wisdom, Judgement and Community (Lifelong Learning Book Series #7)
by Paul Hager John HallidayEducational theory and practice have long been dominated by the requirements of formal learning. This book seeks to persuade readers through philosophical argument and empirical examples that the balance should shift back towards the informal. The arguments and examples derive from informal learning in diverse situations, such as leisure activities, as a preparation for and as part of work, and as a means of surviving undesirable circumstances like dead-end jobs and incarceration.
Rediscovering a Lost Freedom: The First Amendment Right to Censor Unwanted Speech
by Patrick GarrySince ratification of the First Amendment in the late eighteenth century, there has been a sea change in American life. When the amendment was ratified, individuals were almost completely free of unwanted speech; but today they are besieged by it. Indeed, the First Amendment has, for all practical purposes, been commandeered by the media to justify intrusions of offensive speech into private life.In its application, the First Amendment has become one-sided. Even though America is virtually drowning in speech, the First Amendment only applies to the speaker's delivery of speech. Left out of consideration is the one participant in the communications process who is the most vulnerable and least protected--the helpless recipient of offensive speech. In Rediscovering a Lost Freedom, Patrick Garry addresses what he sees as the most pressing speech problem of the twenty-first century: an often irresponsible media using the First Amendment as a shield behind which to hide its socially corrosive speech. To Garry, the First Amendment should protect the communicative process as a whole. And for this process to be free and open, listeners should have as much right to be free from unwanted speech as speakers do of not being thrown in jail for uttering unpopular ideas.Rediscovering a Lost Freedom seeks to modernize the First Amendment. With other constitutional rights, changed circumstances have prompted changes in the law. Restrictions on political advertising seek to combat the perceived influences of big money; the Second Amendment right to bear arms, due to the prevalence of violence in America, has been curtailed; and the Equal Protection clause has been altered to permit affirmative action programs aimed at certain racial and ethnic groups. But when it comes to the flood of violent and vulgar media speech, there has been no change in First Amendment doctrines. This work proposes a government-facilitated private right to censor. Redisco

Reflexions in the Flesh (UK Higher Education OUP Humanities & Social Sciences Sociology)
by Nick CrossleyIn this book, Nick Crossley explores the concept of reflexive embodiment – how we, as embodied beings, reflect upon our own embodiment. He considers the ways in which we modify and maintain our bodies, from brushing our teeth and washing our faces through to tattooing and bodybuilding. Some forms of ‘body work’ are demanded by social conventions; others represent legitimate choices, and others still deviate from or resist the norm. He argues that a proper understanding of reflexive embodiment must be alert to these differences, and that we must appreciate that our bodies are not passive or inert substances that we can mould as we like. They change in ways that we do not intend and of which we are not aware, and they may prove difficult to change in the ways we do intend. Many theorists in sociology offer perspectives on the link between society and body modification, mostly focused in one way or another upon ‘modernity’. Reflexive Embodiment in Contemporary Society reviews this literature, evaluates competing claims and suggests an alternative approach. Nick Crossley contends that existing perspectives are very selective in the range of modification practices they focus upon and in their conception of both modernity and its effects upon the body. While various theories identify clusters of modification practices and link them to aspects of modernity, there has been no systematic attempt to combine these partial accounts into a coherent vision. This book provides such a vision and offers a major contribution to the sociology of the body.
Reflexive soziale Mechanismen: Von soziologischen Erklärungen zu sozionischen Modellen
by Marco Schmitt Michael Florian Frank HillebrandtKaum ein soziologischer Diskurs hat sich in den letzten Jahren so sehr um begriffliche Stringenz und kausale Erklärungsfähigkeit bemüht wie der "mechanism-based approach to social theory" . In diesen Diskurs wollen sich die Autoren mit der Frage einmischen, ob und wie sich das Konzept der sozialen Mechanismen angesichts der inhärenten "Reflexivität" von sozialen Zusammenhängen bewähren kann. Angestrebt wird eine Theoriediskussion, die sich an den Stichworten "Erklärung", "Erzeugung", "Reflexivität" festmachen und unterschiedliche Ansätze zu Wort kommen lassen will.
Refugee Children in the UK (UK Higher Education OUP Humanities & Social Sciences Education OUP)
by Jill RutterAsylum migration causes intense media and political debate. However, little attention has been paid to how forced migrants can rebuild their lives in the UK or elsewhere. This timely book analyzes the social policies that impact on refugee children’s education, and: Provides the background to the migration of refugeesExplores how dominant discourses about trauma homogenise and label a very diverse group of children Examines how policy towards refugees is made, and how it relates to practiceOffers alternative visions for refugee settlement Drawing on case studies of the experiences of refugee children, Refugee Children in the UK brings a much-needed insight into the needs of refugee children. It is valuable reading for academics, policy makers, students of education, sociology and social policy as well as education, health and social work professionals.
