A Sinner was a 33 year old ordinary English working class man,
content and happy with his family life. One day he curiously
attends a Christian Fellowship in a local community centre. After
many visits and much thought he eventually accepts Christ as his
personal saviour. Two years later he finds he is given a preaching
commitment. Here is his 'lay' preachers notes of some 20 years,
biblical expositions with historical and contemporary commentaries.
It is a warts and all record, not only of serous scriptural sermons
but also on church and personal life experiences some humorous some
tragic. He is critical of much of 'established religion' and the
fact he reluctantly uses a pen name tells of his fears of the
changing face of his country and shows his belief that much of its
freedoms for Christians and free speech in general has been and is
being lost. He holds no theological exams or college training and
does not qualify for what he describes as the 'hindrance' of a dog
collar, but believes in Gods Holy Spirit that has and does convict
man if mans heart is willing to be open to Him. So are any or any
part of these words Gods word? That's for you with the Holy Spirit
to decide.
In A Sinner's second book he again states he has to keep to his pen
name and again changes all names of churches, friends and family
because of, as he puts it, " historical freedoms long ago fought
and died for in my country, but now lost to dangerous forces, that
are not only unchallenged but appeased and encouraged." He gives a
chapter on his own English roots and background where he says his
Saviour showed him the first signs of sin of which he needed to
take to His cross. He mentions first hand experience of Jesuit and
Christian Brother school teachers, who not surprisingly, he is no
fan of. Yet his criticisms again are not left to Roman Catholicism
alone. As in his first book, often humorous, often tragic words,
but now not just in sermon notes but observations, experiences,
speaking notes, modern parables, one or two poems and also in his
own mostly pen and ink illustrations. He gives a little more detail
than in his first book of his working for his Saviour in missionary
organisations such as Prison Fellowship, SASRA and local church
work. Through it all, he leaves the same message for all: look to
the Bible for inspiration but especially to unbelievers for
salvation only in the Bible's Author, The Holy Spirit and the Word
of God Jesus Christ John Then they asked Him, "What must we do to
do the works God requires?" Jesus answered "The work of God is
this: to believe in the one He has sent John 6;28&29.
Bringing together Carl Leggo's most significant contributions over
the past 30 years, this book celebrates his work in curriculum
studies, English language arts, literacy and life writing, poetry,
and arts education. Organized around three thematic sections-Loving
Language, Narrating Ruminations, and Storying the World-the volume
highlights his efforts across interrelated fields of inquiry,
including narrative and poetic inquiry, contemplative inquiry, and
social fiction. The text extends the discussion and conversation of
curriculum studies and is greatly enhanced with a selection of
original poetry by this incomparable poet, scholar, and teacher.
Carl Leggo is renowned not only for his ground-breaking work at the
University of British Colombia, but also for his tremendous
influence on graduate education across the English-speaking world.
This volume honours that immense contribution in today's time of
academic change and development.
This anthology explores life writing as a mode of educational
inquiry, one where students and teachers may get a "heart of
wisdom" as they struggle with the tensions and complexities of
learning and teaching in challenging contemporary circumstances.
Contributors write first-person creative non-fiction in a variety
of life-writing genres, such as memoir, poetry, personal essay, and
various blended genres. Four sections entitled Memory Work, Place
Work, Curriculum Work, and Social Work explore the struggles and
joys of pedagogy where relationships are at the heart of teaching
and learning. The essays address questions such as: What critical
moments in learning and teaching change lives? What stories need to
be told? What questions ache to be asked?
This open access book presents a qualitative longitudinal
panel-study on child and adolescent socialisation in socially
disadvantaged families. The study traces how children and their
parents make sense of media within the context of their everyday
life over twelve years (from 2005 to 2017) and provides a unique
perspective on the role of different socialisation contexts,
drawing on rich data from a broad range of qualitative methods.
Using a theoretical framework and methodological approach that can
be applied transnationally, it sheds light on the complex interplay
of factors which shape children's socialisation and media usage in
multiple ways.
Provoking the Field invites debate on, and provides an essential
resource for, transnational arts-based scholars engaged in critical
analyses of international visual arts education and its enquiry in
doctoral research. Divided into three parts - doctoral processes,
doctoral practices and doctoral programmes - the volume
interrogates education in both formal and informal learning
environments, ranging from schools to post-secondary institutions
to community and adult education. This book brings together a
global range of authors to examine visual arts PhDs using diverse
theoretical perspectives; innovative arts and hybrid methodologies;
institutional relationships and scholarly practices; and voices
from the field in the form of site-specific cases. A compendium of
leading voices in arts education, Provoking the Field provides a
diverse range of perspectives on arts enquiry, and a comprehensive
study of the state of visual arts PhDs in education.
Ma is a curriculum. The Japanese concept of ma refers to the
interval between two markers. Ma is somatically constructed by a
deliberate, attentive consciousness to what simultaneously is
expressed, repressed, or suppressed between two structures. In a
dialectic exploration, the spaces between-private/public,
teacher/student, old/new, self/other, among others-are probed in
ways that contribute to the significant research in teaching and
learning that has been undertaken in the last few decades. Material
culture is the study of belief systems, behaviours, and perceptions
through artefacts and physical objects and is central to the
socialization of human beings into culture. The analysis of
cultural materials offers sites for concretizing the self and the
self in context. New materiality challenges assumptions and cliches
and allows for possibilities not yet imagined, perhaps even
inconceivable possibilities. New materiality approaches accept that
matter itself has agency. As such, this book investigates the
intersections at the core of ma, engagements wherein the
investigations create something new, in order to demonstrate the
layers of the teaching and learning self. Interpretations of the
concept of ma articulate new definitions to improve the conditions,
practices, products, and pedagogies of being a teacher/learner in
the twenty-first century. Ma is a site for epistemological
understandings, threshold learnings, and self and curriculum
becomings.

Living Histories is a collection of new scholarship that explores
histories of art education through a series of international
contexts. The first truly international text highlighting histories
of art education, with contributions from over 30 scholars based in
18 countries. Art education holds an important role in promoting
historical awareness of the multiple relations that connect
pedagogic inquiry with culture, heritage, place and identity,
locally and globally. To keep pace with the movements of art and
society, Garnet and Sinner consider that art education requires
more inclusive and holistic versions of history from transnational
perspectives that break down barriers and cross borders in the
pursuit of more informed and diverse understandings of the field.
The broad focus of this edited collection is to provide both new
perspectives of art education from around the world, and to
introduce transnationalism into the field as a way to conceptualize
the entanglements of historical research in our globalized age.
Transnational histories of art education focus on the linkages and
flows that shift focus away from the nation-state to other
transnational actors such as individuals, communities, institutions
and/or organizations. Contributions from scholars and educators
based and working in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Colombia,
Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, India, Iran, Japan, Malta, South
Africa, Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, UK, USA and Zimbabwe. Includes
chapters that adapt an approach of 'artwork histories' to explore
the legacies of art education as an anticipatory mode of historical
thinking and practice across the visual arts and sites of art
education. The book offers an opportunity for authentic engagement
and intellectual risk, which includes the rejection of 'correct'
interpretations of historical problems. As active agents, art
education historians are not passive collectors of the past, but
engaged in new ways of doing history predicated on cultivating
stories that move beyond representation to attend to aesthetic
dimensions that bridge historiography, material culture, oral
history, art history and teacher education. Living Histories
provides an interpretation of historical thinking and consciousness
through the interrelations of time and space to provoke critical
and creative practices in education. This is the latest book in the
Artwork Scholarship series, which aims to invite debate on, and
provide an essential resource for transnational scholars engaged
in, creative research involving visual, literary and performative
arts. With contributors from 18 countries, this book will have a
substantial international readership among art educators and those
interested in the history of art education, primarily in
universities and colleges. It will also be particularly useful for
graduate students. It will also appeal to scholars in arts
education more broadly - music education, dance education, theatre
education scholars, cultural and art historians, art theorists,
international educators, and curators.
This edited collection offers global perspectives on the
transverse, boundary-blurring possibilities of community arts
education. Invoking ‘transversality’ as an overarching
theoretical framework and a methodological structure, 55
contributors – community professionals, scholars, artists,
educators and activists from sixteen countries – offer studies
and practical cases exploring the complexities of community arts
education at all levels. Such complexities include challenges
created by globalizing phenomena such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
ongoing efforts to achieve justice for Indigenous peoples;
continuing movement of immigrants and refugees; growing recognition
of issues related to equity, diversity and inclusion in the
workplace; and the increasing impact of grassroot movements and
organizations. Chapters are grouped into four thematic clusters –
Connections, Practices, Spaces and Relations – that map these and
other intersecting assemblages of transversality. Thinking
transversally about community art education not only shifts our
understanding of knowledge from a passive construct to an active
component of social life but redefines art education as a
distinctive practice emerging from the complex relationships that
form community.
In this book input-output analysis is applied to the regional
economy of The Netherlands. The re ults are based on a publication
of The Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics: Regional Accounts
1960, The Hague, Staatsuitgeverij, 1968. Dr. Schilderinck and Mr.
Sinner call special attention to the structure which are concealed
in the cumulated primary costs of the final demand categories. Part
I of the book deals particularly with a survey of this feature of
input-output analysis. Part II starts with comparing the production
structure of each industry in the eleven provinces of The
Netherlands by means of semi-regional tables. Next, authors analyse
the structure of the induced income resulting from a surplus or
deficit of each industry on current final transactions per
province. Thanks to its methodical elaboration the book is a
valuable guide to those confronted with the problems of regional
economic analysis. J. J. J. Dalmulder Contents FOREWORD IX LIST OF

This empirical study investigates the existence of a hypothetical
regional standard for Spanish in Catalonia based on a corpus made
up of transcripts of some 70 hours of recorded interview material.
The determining factors in the development of linguistic norms are
analyzed in terms of the frequency of usage and the formal and
informal acceptability of some 80 linguistic phenomena. The
qualitative and quantitative analyses are supplemented by a study
of the metalinguistic information and the linguistic attitudes
identifiable in the interviews.

The focus of this edited book is to evoke and provoke conceptual
conversations between early a/r/tographic publications and the
contemporary scholarship of a/r/tographers publishing and producing
today. Working around four pervasive themes found in a/r/tographic
literature, this volume addresses relationality and renderings,
ethics and embodiment, movement and materiality, and propositions
and potentials. In doing so, it advances concepts that have
permeated a/r/tographic literature to date. More specifically, the
volume simultaneously offers a site where key historical works can
easily be found and at the same time, offer new scholarship that is
in conversation with these historical ideas as they are discussed,
expanded and changed within contemporary contexts. The organizing
themes offer conceptual pivots for thinking through how
a/r/tography was first conceptualized and how it has evolved and
how it might further evolve. Thus, this edited book affords an
opportunity for all those working in and through a/r/tography to
offer refined, revised, revisited or new conceptual understandings
for contemporary scholarship and practice. Part of the Artwork
Scholarship: International Perspectives in Education series.
In addition to Phoenician, Greek, and Latin, at least four writing
systems were used between the fifth century BCE and the first
century CE to write the indigenous languages of the Iberian
peninsula (the so-called Palaeohispanic languages): Tartessian,
Iberian, Celtiberian, and Lusitanian. In total over three thousand
inscriptions are preserved in what is certainly the largest corpus
of epigraphic expression in the western Mediterranean world, with
the exception of the Italian peninsula. The aim of this volume is
to present the most recent cutting-edge scholarship on these
epigraphies and on the languages that they transmit. Utilizing a
multidisciplinary approach which draws on the expertise of leading
specialists in the field, it brings together a broad range of
perspectives on the linguistic, philological, epigraphic,
numismatic, historical, and archaeological aspects of the surviving
inscriptions, and provides invaluable new insights into the social,
economic, and cultural history of Hispania and the ancient western
Mediterranean. The study of these languages is essential to our
understanding of colonial Phoenician and Greek literacy, which lies
at the root of their growth, as well as of the diffusion of Roman
literacy, which played an important role in the final expansion of
the so called Palaeohispanic languages.
