This book explores the relationship between social justice
practices and the Arts in Education. It argues that social justice
practices, at their best, should awaken our senses and the ability
to imagine alternatives that can sustain the collective work
necessary to challenge entrenched patterns and practices. Chapters
display a range of arts-based pedagogies for challenging oppressive
practices in schools, community centers and other public sites. The
examples provided illustrate both the promise and on-going
challenge of enacting arts based social justice practices that can
transform consciousness and organize action toward justice and
social change. They show the power of arts-based pedagogies to
engage the imagination, reveal invisible operations of power and
privilege, provoke critical reflection, and spark alternative
images and possibilities. They also show the importance of on-going
critical reflection for this work with attention to both the
specificities of place and the obstacles (internal and external) to
maintaining a social justice stance in the face of contemporary
neoliberal discourses. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Equity & Excellence in Education.

Through accessible language and candid discussions, Storytelling
for Social Justice explores the stories we tell ourselves and each
other about race and racism in our society. Making sense of the
racial constructions expressed through the language and images we
encounter every day, this book provides strategies for developing a
more critical understanding of how racism operates culturally and
institutionally in our society. Using the arts in general, and
storytelling in particular, the book examines ways to teach and
learn about race by creating counter-storytelling communities that
can promote more critical and thoughtful dialogue about racism and
the remedies necessary to dismantle it in our institutions and
interactions. Illustrated throughout with examples drawn from
contemporary movements for change, high school and college
classrooms, community building and professional development
programs, the book provides tools for examining racism as well as
other issues of social justice. For every facilitator and educator
who has struggled with how to get the conversation on race going or
who has suffered through silences and antagonism, the innovative
model presented in this book offers a practical and critical
framework for thinking about and acting on stories about racism and
other forms of injustice. This new edition includes: Social science
examples, in addition to the arts, for elucidating the storytelling
model; Short essays by users that illustrate some of the ways the
storytelling model has been used in teaching, training, community
building and activism; Updated examples, references and resources.

'60's British B-movie chiller featuring voodoo, the supernatural
and general dark arts. A comely young British teacher takes up a
remote posting in darkest Africa where the local juju man lays a
hex on her. She has a breakdown and is forced to return to the UK.
There, she takes up a post at a rural school where all appears well
on the surface. It turns out, however, that the place is a hotbed
of witchery and darkness and that a virgin sacrifice is planned for
the near future. The film was directed by Cyril Frankel, who'd made
Hammer's 1960 child abuse drama 'Never Take Sweets From a
Stranger', and the script was by Quatermass author Nigel Kneale.
Their depiction of sinister undercurrents in a pastoral setting
wasn't sinister enough for the BBFC, however, who only granted the
film an 'A' certificate. Hammer persuaded them to reconsider, but
this accomplished film still failed to find an audience.
Developmental theorists have long speculated that emotion and
cognition are inseparable components of the developmental process.
Some even suggest that the two components are fully integrated by
school age. Yet, despite considerable theoretical work describing
this interaction, relatively little empirical work has been
conducted on the subject. This volume addresses the codevelopment
of emotional and cognitive processes by integrating theoretical and
empirical work on these processes. The first part of the book
demonstrates the codependence of emotional and cognitive processes,
noting that both processes are clearly necessary for successful
regulation of thought and behavior and that children with early
adjustment difficulties often have deficits in both types of
processing. The second part considers possible neurological and
genetic mechanisms for the emotion-cognition link. Finally, the
last part explores implications for clinical and educational
research, highlighting atypical emotional and cognitive processing
and its effect on adjustment in academic and social settings.
