"Rebellion in Black and White" offers a panoramic view of southern
student activism in the 1960s. Original scholarly essays
demonstrate how southern students promoted desegregation, racial
equality, free speech, academic freedom, world peace, gender
equity, sexual liberation, Black Power, and the personal freedoms
associated with the counterculture of the decade. Most accounts of
the 1960s student movement and the New Left have been
northern-centered, focusing on rebellions at the University of
California, Berkeley, Columbia University, and others. And yet,
students at southern colleges and universities also organized and
acted to change race and gender relations and to end the Vietnam
War. Southern students took longer to rebel due to the south's
legacy of segregation, its military tradition, and its Bible Belt
convictions, but their efforts were just as effective as those in
the north. "Rebellion in Black and White" sheds light on higher
education, students, culture, and politics of the American south.
It is edited by Robert Cohen and David J. Snyder, the book features

and many others. Contributors: Dan T. Carter, David T. Farber,

Hand-in-hand with the continuing drive to recruit international
students to Western universities goes an interest in student
engagement. However, it is often unclear exactly what is meant by
engagement. This book goes beyond the policy rhetoric to provide a
practice-based explication of international student engagement and
its enabling institutional conditions. By utilising a social
practice conceptual model, the book explains the multiple
dimensions of engagement that are often conflated in policy: the
antecedents to engagement, the actions of engaging, and the
achievements and outcomes of engagement. As a result, the book is
able to address issues such as how English comes to matter in
international student academic practice; the teaching and
assessment approaches that promote international student
engagement; and the metacognitive, cognitive and affective
strategies that international students use to achieve academic and
personal transformation.

Systems of state education are a crucial means for realizing the
state's focal aspiration of guaranteeing solidarity and civil
loyalty (Van Kemenade, 1985 pp. 854ff. ). The means at hand include
the state's structuring and organization of schooling,
determination of what education is compulsory, examinations that
decide admittance to institutions of secondary and tertiary
education, the design of educational aids, curricula, textbooks,
didactic methods, and the general distribution of resources to
schools. A further apparatus is that of teacher education and the
regulations for appointment to the schools and remuneration (van
Kemenade, 1985, p. 850). There are indications that the issue of
equality and equity for all in education is a dilemma prevalent in
systems of state education, among others, because the advancement
of equity is liable to interfere with the state's main goal. It is
highly likely that the failing does not derive from contingent
misund- standings, but rather from systemic contradictions. With
this in mind, this book suggests a broad-spectrum approach to
understanding how state education gets done, so to speak, and what
in the process seems to obstruct impartiality. The case that I will
examine is that of the state system of education in Israel.
Underlying the study is the sociological assumption that an
analysis of how one state system works is likely to bear a message
that can be generalized.

Einsatz dramendidaktischer Konzepte an der Hochschule bis zur
Sensibilisierung von Studierenden fur Tabuthemen reichen. Die
Autorinnen und Autoren reflektieren daruber, welche Anforderungen
und Ziele mit einer fur Lehrende wie Lernende gelingenden
Hochschullehre verbunden sind.
From two students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School comes a declaration for our times, and an in-depth look at the making of the #NeverAgain movement that arose after the Parkland, Florida, shooting.
On February 14, 2018, seventeen-year-old David Hogg and his fourteen-year-old sister, Lauren, went to school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, like any normal Wednesday. That day, of course, the world changed. By the next morning, with seventeen classmates and faculty dead, they had joined the leadership of a movement to save their own lives, and the lives of all other young people in America. It's a leadership position they did not seek, and did not want--but events gave them no choice.
The morning after the massacre, David Hogg told CNN: "We're children. You guys are the adults. You need to take some action and play a role. Work together. Get over your politics and get something done."
This book is a manifesto for the movement begun that day, one that has already changed America--with voices of a new generation that are speaking truth to power, and are determined to succeed where their elders have failed. With moral force and clarity, a new generation has made it clear that problems previously deemed unsolvable due to powerful lobbies and political cowardice will be theirs to solve. Born just after Columbine and raised amid seemingly endless war and routine active shooter drills, this generation now says, "Enough!". This book is their statement of purpose, and the story of their lives. It is the essential guide to the #NeverAgain movement.
This title develops a comprehensive understanding of the
motivations and experiences of students who choose to study abroad
for the whole or part of a degree. It includes case studies of
students from East Asia, Europe and the UK, and considers the
implications of their movement for contemporary higher education.
Awarded 2nd Prize, Best Book award, the Society for Education
Studies, 2011 Refugees are physically and symbolically 'out of
place' - their presence forces governments to address issues of
rights and moral obligations. This book contrasts the hostility of
immigration policy to 'non-citizen'' children with teachers'
exceptional compassion and 'citizen students' ambivalence in
defining who can belong.

Most Americans would never willingly revisit their high school
experiences; the nation's school systems reflect the broader
society's hierarchical emphasis on race, class, and gender. While
schools purport to provide equal opportunities for all students,
this rarely happens in actuality-particularly for girls. In Downed
by Friendly Fire, Signithia Fordham unmasks and examines
female-centered bullying in schools, arguing that it is essential
to unmask female aggression, bullying, and competition, all of
which directly relate to the structural violence embedded in the
racialized and gendered social order. For two and a half years,
Fordham conducted field research at "Underground Railroad High
School," a suburban high school in upstate New York. Through a
series of composite student profiles, she examines the girls'
relationships to academic achievement, social competition, and
aggression toward one another. Fordham argues that girls
academically "compete to lose," which only perpetuates their
subordination through the misrecognition of their own competitive
behaviors. She goes further to expand the meaning of violence to
include what is seen as normal, including suffering, humiliation,
and social and economic abuse. Using the concept "symbolic
violence," Fordham theorizes the psychological and social damage
suffered especially by black girls in schools. The five narratives
in Downed by Friendly Fire ultimately highlight the pain and
suffering this violence produces as well as the ways in which it
promotes inequality, exclusion, and marginalization among girls.
Adolescent substance use is a serious-and potentially
deadly-problem with many repercussions for the adolescent, the
family, and society at large. It is also an issue that too few
education professionals feel prepared to address even as they see
it playing out in their schools and classrooms. Struggling with
Substance Use: Supporting Students' Social Emotional Learning
presents evidence on the magnitude of the problem and the many
underlying factors and commonly co-occurring disorders associated
with student substance use. It covers the risk factors for
adolescent substance use (e.g., trauma, ADHD, peer pressure, and
family dysfunction) and contrasts each with specific protective
factors that education professionals need to consider when
designing schoolwide programs and classroom initiatives. Each
chapter concludes with an example of an evidence-based program that
has made a difference for students and families. Armed with
knowledge, understanding, and examples of proven programs, school
professionals can incorporate the necessary protective factors to
provide hope and help for struggling students and their families.
