This book provides a comprehensive, contextualized approach to
curriculum creation, design, development, and evaluation for
Intensive English Programs. The book starts by guiding the reader
through the important but often overlooked steps of contextualizing
their current or future language curriculum to give decision makers
the full picture of what their curriculum is intended to

This photojournalistic essay documents one of the last groups of
civilians to be drafted into the United States Army in 1972. The
journey begins at an induction center in Philadelphia, where
recruits swear allegiance to the United States, and undergo
physical and mental examinations. The focus then shifts to Ft.
Jackson, South Carolina, for orientation, haircutting, and the
acquisition of uniforms and supplies. The balance of the nine-week
experience is basic training-where civilians become soldiers. We
observe them practicing hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship, and
we also see them calling home, writing letters, and bonding with
fellow soldiers. Shortly after these images were taken, the draft
officially ended and the all-volunteer army began. All photographs
are candid. Nothing was set up or posed for the camera, nor was
there censorship by the army of any of the images taken for this
project.

Groundwater is humanity's most vital supply of freshwater.
Freshwater resources contained in aquifer systems globally are two
orders of magnitude greater than those found in all rivers, lakes,
and other surface freshwaters combined. Moreover, approximately one
half of the world's population today is dependent on groundwater
for its basic needs. While these truisms are widely acknowledged,
an additional reality is now recognized - many of these subsurface
freshwater reservoirs are actually transboundary formations shared
amongst two or more nations. In fact, around 600 transboundary
aquifers have been identified worldwide. They underlie the
territory of nearly every non-island nation and are found in both
humid and arid environments. Surprisingly, though, only a handful
of transboundary aquifers worldwide are subject to any type of
formal or informal international agreement. Transboundary
groundwater resources are now receiving growing attention among the
international community. Questions are being raised about how they
should be managed, allocated and protected, what rights aquifer
riparians can enjoy, and what responsibilities these aquifer states
might owe to neighbouring aquifer riparians. This book considers
all these various aspects of the management and regulation of
transboundary groundwater resources. It also presents case studies
and explores recent efforts to engage the international community
on best practices and global standards for governing transboundary
aquifers. As communities and nations continue to expand their
reliance on these critical sources of freshwater, they will have to
address such issues and develop governance regimes for these shared
subsurface resources. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of Water International.
In Narratives in East Asia and Beyond: An Interdisciplinary
Perspective on Using Narratives as a Research Method, contributors
from diverse fields jointly argue for the interdisciplinary appeal
of using narratives as a research method. Scholars from the fields
of philosophy of narrative, ethnographic research, linguistics,
political sciences, international relations, and area studies
reflect on how to approach, understand, and utilize narratives to
comprehend social structures and interactions. The volume attempts
to reflect on a range of questions, including: How can narrative
studies broaden and deepen the scope of research in other fields?
What connections exist between narratives and identities
(individual and collective)? How does analyzing narratives help us
better understand the dynamics of the policy change and the
perceptions of self and other? The essays range from reflections on
the role of narrativity in cognitive processes, interview settings,
and in constructing historical memories to the analysis of narrator
and audience perspectives on the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative,
evaluations of roles and legitimation strategies, as well as
interpretations of documentary films. The authors show the
flexibility and fruitfulness of incorporating narratives into
research agendas in a wide range of disciplines and highlight the
theoretical and empirical research benefits that narrative studies
open up.
Remembering German- Australian Colonial Entanglements emphatically
promotes a critical and nuanced understanding of the complex
entanglement of German colonial actors and activities within
Australian colonial institutions and different imperial ideologies.
Case studies ranging from the German reception of James Cook's
voyages through to the legacies of 19th- and 20th- century settler
colonialism foreground the highly ambiguous roles played by
explorers, missionaries, intellectuals and other individuals, as
well as by objects and things that travelled between worlds -
ancestral human remains, rare animal skins, songs and even military
tanks. The chapters foreground the complex relationship between
science, religion, art and exploitation, displacement and
annihilation. Contributors trace how these entanglements have been
commemorated or forgotten over time - by Germans,
settler-Australians and Indigenous people. Bringing to light a
critical understanding of the German involvement in the Australian
colonial project, Remembering German- Australian Colonial
Entanglements will be of great interest to scholars of colonialism,
postcolonialism, German Studies and Indigenous Studies. But for the
editors' substantial new introductory chapter, these contributions
originally appeared in a special issue of Postcolonial Studies.
Legal mechanisms for the management, development and protection of
water resources have evolved over the years and have reached
unprecedented levels of complexity and sophistication. This
phenomenon is largely in response to the global community's
sustainable development agenda, to the challenges and limitations
imposed by climate variability, and to scientific and technological
advances. Bringing together diverse experiences from across the
world, this book analyses existing water law and governance
solutions, their shortcomings, as well as developments and trends
in the light of changing circumstances. The legal mechanisms
examined range from international treaties, agreements and
arrangements on cooperation over transboundary water resources, to
the onset of novel issues arising out of technological advances,
and from domestic regulation of water abstraction and groundwater
management, to domestic regulation of the water industry. The
articles in this book were originally published in the journal
Water International, following the XIV and the XV World Water
Congresses of the International Water Resources Association (IWRA),
which were held in 2011 and in 2015, respectively. The chapters
originally published in Water International.
More girls are playing sports than ever before-which, on the
surface, is great for girls because sports offer positive and
empowering fun for young women. In reality, though, few young
athletes report "fun" as a reason they play sports. The rates of
concussions and repetitive-use injuries are on the rise, and kids
are encouraged to specialize in a single sport at earlier and
earlier ages, even at the expense of friends, other activities, and
health. Through years of extensive research, Rick Eckstein
discovered that college athletics have had an alarming impact on
this trend in youth sports, particularly for girls. How College
Athletics Are Hurting Girls' Sports looks closely at college sports
and how they shape the athletic-and personal-landscape for girls
and young women. Filled with powerful interview excerpts from women
athletes of all ages, as well as coaches, league officials, and
others, the book chronicles how college and youth sports have
become more commercialized, to the detriment of participants. The
book looks at a range of sports, with case studies including
soccer, field hockey, ice hockey, figure skating, and Ultimate
Frisbee. Featuring a new introduction to bring this evergreen topic
up to the present, How College Athletics Are Hurting Girls' Sports
is an important and timely reminder that even as we celebrate
sports' potential to have a positive impact on a girl's life,
changes need to be made in college and youth athletics to improve
the experiences of young athletes so that sports become fun once
again.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the state of
international law as it applies to transboundary groundwater
resources and aquifers. The main focus is on recent developments
and the emerging international law for transboundary aquifers as
reflected in the practice of states and the work of the UN
International Law Commission, UN Economic Commission for Europe,
and International Law Association. The author takes an
interdisciplinary approach to the subject matter and provides the
scientific hydro-geological underpinning for the application of law
and policy to transboundary groundwater resources. He also
addresses the growing global dependence on this hidden resource, as
well as both the historical and scientific context for development
of the law. The book provides case examples throughout to
illustrate the various concepts and developments. These include
more detailed examinations of the few existing transboundary
aquifer agreements in operation, such as for aquifers between
France and Switzerland and Jordan and Saudi Arabia, as well as
aquifers in North Africa and in South America.

This scholarly collection examines the origins, history, and
contemporary nature of Chinese Judaism in the community of Kaifeng.
These essays, written by a diverse, international team of
contributors, explore the culture and history of this
thousand-year-old Jewish community, whose synthesis of Chinese and
Jewish cultures helped guarantee its survival. Part I of this study
analyzes the origin and historical development of the Kaifeng
community, as well as the unique cultural synthesis it engendered.
Part II explores the contemporary nature of this Chinese Jewish
community, particularly examining the community's relationship to
Jewish organizations outside of China, the impact of Western Jewish
contact, and the tenuous nature of Jewish identity in Kaifeng.
Rhetoric of Masculinity: Male Body Image, Media, and Gender Role
Stress/Conflict lends depth and global nuance to discourse
associated with the masculinity concept as it brings to bear on
males' self-image, role in society, media representations of them,
and the gender role stress/conflict experienced when they fail to
measure up to social standards associated with what it means to be
manly. Even though the concept of masculine gender role
stress/conflict has received substantial scholarly attention in
psychology, social learning effects of masculinity as it plays out
in media warrant further study given that representations offer
audiences restrictive male gender roles that may contribute to
toxic masculinity. Men and boys are taught to be self-sufficient,
to act tough, to be muscular, heterosexual, and to use aggression
to resolve conflicts. Such contexts provide restrictive images that
can result in self harm and an inflexible social milieu. Scholars
and students of communication, rhetoric, and gender studies will
find this book particularly interesting.
The collection of essays outlines how feminists employ a variety of
online platforms, practices, and tools to create spaces of
solidarity and to articulate a critical politics that refuses
popular forms of individual, consumerist, white feminist
empowerment in favor of collective, tangible action. Including
scholars and activists from a wide range of disciplinary
perspectives, these essays help to catalog the ways in which
feminists are organizing online to mobilize different feminist,
queer, trans, disability, reproductive justice, and racial equality
movements. Together, these perspectives offer a comprehensive
overview of how feminists are employing the tools of the internet
for political change. Grounded in intersectional feminism--a
perspective that attends to the interrelatedness of power and
oppression based on race, class, gender, ability, sexuality, and
other identities--this book gathers provocations, analyses,
creative explorations, theorizations, and case studies of networked
feminist activist practices. In doing so, this collection archives
important work already done within feminist digital cultures and
acts as a vital blueprint for future feminist action.
The demise of the modern self-centred subject does not engender a
waning but a politicisation of affect: The site of passion is now
no longer the individual's interiority but the contact zone of
intersubjective encounters. The public and political status of the
emotions thus becomes apparent, making visible how affects are
embedded in and shaped by discursive regimes. Neither spontaneous
nor overdetermined, passion is therefore not the "other" of reason
but a deeply social energy that fuels political, cultural and
everyday practices. The Politics of Passion combines theoretical
reframings of affect and emotion in global modernity with analyses
of concrete instances of politics of passion from above or from
below. By including debates and struggles in Western, Asian and
African contexts, the volume attends to the actual plurality of
affective rationalities and politics beyond a Eurocentric
framework.
