Writing a Wider War presents a dramatically new interpretation of
the role of Boer women in the conflict and profoundly changes how
we look at the making of Afrikaner nationalism. African experiences
of the war are also examined, highlighting racial subjugation in
the context of colonial war and black participation, and showcasing
important new research by African historians. The collection
includes a reassessment of British imperialism and probing essays
on J. A. Hobson; the masculinist nature of life on commando among
Boer soldiers; Anglo-Jewry; secularism; health and medicine;
nursing, women, and disease in the concentration camps; and the
rivalry between British politicians and generals. An examination of
the importance of the South African War in contemporary British
political economy, and the part played by imperial propaganda,
rounds off a thoroughly groundbreaking reinterpretation of this
formative event in South Africa's history.

Global Movements: Dance, Place, and Hybridity provides a
theoretical and practical examination of the relationships between
the global mobility of ideas and people, and its impact on dance
and space. Using seven case studies, the contributors illustrate
the mixture of dance styles that result from the global diffusion
of cultural traditions and practices. The collection portrays a
multitude of ways in which public and private spaces-stages,
buildings, town squares as well as natural environments-are
transformed and made meaningful by culturally diverse dances.
Global Movements will be of interest to scholars of geography,
dance, and global issues.
The International Handbooks of Teacher Education cover major issues
in the field through chapters that offer detailed literature
reviews, designed to help readers to understand the history, issues
and research developments across those topics most relevant to the
field of teacher education from an international perspective. This
volume is divided into two sections: Teacher educators; and,
students of teaching. The first examines teacher educators, their
role, and the way that role influences the nature of teaching about
teaching. In turn, the second explores who students of teaching
are, and how that influences the relationship between teaching and
learning about teaching.

field of teacher education from an international perspective. This
volume is divided into two sections: The organisation and structure
of teacher education; and, knowledge and practice of teacher
education. The first section explores the complexities of teacher
education, including the critical components of preparing teachers
for teaching, and various aspects of teaching and teacher education
that create tensions and strains. The second examines the knowledge
and practice of teacher education, including the critical
components of teachers' professional knowledge, the pedagogy of
teacher education, and their interrelationships, and delves into
what we know and why it matters in teacher education.
Time In Practice: Temporality, Intersubjectivity, and Listening
Differently is an original exploration of diverse ways in which
individuals ‘live’ time, consciously and unconsciously.
Challenging the psychoanalytic emphasis on the past as
determinative, Mary Lynne Ellis explores the significance of
present and future dimensions of individuals’ experiences which
catalyses change in the analytical relationship. Through critical
analyses of the theorizing of Freud, Jung, Klein, Winnicott and
Lacan, Ellis highlights the limitations of spatial metaphors,
binaries of ‘inner/’outer’, in addressing the socio-political
and historical specificity of patients’ experiences, including
questions of identity and discrimination. She explores how
intersectional and interdisciplinary perspectives allow for the
development of new interpretations of
temporality/intersubjectivity/language/embodiment in analytical
practices. Ellis reflects on the dynamism of conceptualizations
emergent in autobiography, fiction, phenomenological and
post-modern philosophy, gender, post-colonial, queer, and cultural
studies, for contemporary relational psychoanalytic practices. This
revised and updated edition includes discussion of experiences of
loss, vulnerability, mortality, inequalities, and powerlessness
associated with the profound impact of the spread of Corona Virus,
climate change, and the Ukraine war. It also includes a new chapter
on mourning, time, and identities. The book will be of interest to
psychotherapists, art therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and
those working in the fields of gender, sexuality, class, race and
post-colonial studies, literature, and allied disciplines.
Rooted in the performative of Speech Act Theory, this
interdisciplinary study crafts a new model to compare the work we
do with words when we protest: across genres, from different
geographies and languages. Rich with illustrative examples from
Turkey, U.S., West Germany, Romania, Guatemala, Great Britain, and
Northern Ireland, it examines the language of protest (chants,
songs, poetry and prose) with an innovative use of analytical tools
that will advance current theory. Operating at the intersection of
linguistic pragmatics and critical discourse analysis this book
provides fresh insights on interdisciplinary topics including
power, identity, legitimacy and the Social Contract. In doing so it
will appeal to students and scholars of sociolinguistics,
pragmatics and critical discourse analysis, in addition to
researchers working in sociology, political science, discourse,
cultural and communication studies.

I'd grown up thinking life was like one of the dressmaking patterns
Mother bought to sew my clothes. If I followed it, my life would
turn out as perfect as my dresses. I'd meet someone and fall in
love with him. He would love me and take care of me. That's what my
father had done with Mother and me. That's what men did. We would
get married, have children and live a loving life. Somehow it had
all changed, like the clouds - Sheila Horne. It's 1973. As Toronto
loosens up, four young women must navigate the shifting social
currents put in motion by the '60s. Ella realizes everything she
trusted as a child is a lie. Raynie believes marriage is the easy
way out and thinks nothing of having sex with any guy she meets.
Jessie would rather face life stoned, while Meg still desperately
wants a husband and family. But childhood values and friendships
are tested when a car accident sparks a series of life-altering
events.

During the 1990s there has been increased interest in research on
various aspects of teacher education, ranging from the preparation
of teachers to continuing professional development. The increase of
interest in how teachers become competent in very complex social
settings is a result of a general recognition by researchers and
policy makers alike that teachers are the key to any serious
efforts at educational reform. This book addresses a variety of
issues surrounding the field of inquiry into teaching practice that
has become known as "self-study", equivalent in many ways to the
"action research" movement, but at tertiary level.
Teacher educators live hectic lives at institutional and
discipline boundaries. Our greatest potential for influence is
through developing relationships with others in our practice. Our
work is fundamentally relational and emotional. We are obligated to
the teachers we teach and the public students they teach. Our
practice exists in the midst of experience, conflicting and often
hostile boundaries, and between what we know from research and what
we understand from practice. Self-study of practice invites
researchers to embrace the hectic and fragmented territory of
practice as the space for study.
This book educates those who would like to explore practice in
the methodology of self-study. It provides both a pragmatic and
theoretic guide. It grounds the research in ontology and
establishes dialogue as the inquiry process. It supports
researchers through the use of frameworks to guide research and
explication of strategies for conducting it.

Data Journalism and the Regeneration of News traces the emergence
of data journalism through a scholarly lens. It reveals the growth
of data journalism as a subspecialty, cultivated and sustained by
an increasing number of professional identities, tools and
technologies, educational opportunities and new forms of
collaboration and computational thinking. The authors base their
analysis on five years of in-depth field research, largely in
Canada, an example of a mature media system. The book identifies
how data journalism's development is partly due to it being at the
center of multiple crises and shocks to journalism, including
digitalization, acute mis- and dis-information concerns and
increasingly participatory audiences. It highlights how data
journalists, particularly in well-resourced newsrooms, are able to
address issues of trust and credibility to advance their
professional interests. These journalists are operating as
institutional entrepreneurs in a field still responding to the
disruption effects of digitalization more than 20 years ago. By
exploring the ways in which data journalists are strategically
working to modernize the way journalists talk about methods and
maintain journalism authority, Data Journalism and the Regeneration
of News introduces an important new dimension to the study of
digital journalism for researchers, students and educators.
This book discusses teacher evaluation and how it can provide the
foundations for professional development. The editors and
contributors illustrate how teachers with varying levels of
expertise, experience and learning needs can benefit from
differentiated evaluation and professional development designed to
help them reach their full potential. The book examines various
aspects of differentiation including levels of experience from
pre-service to veteran, practices of school principals as they
supervise and evaluate staff, and wider education policies that can
support or hinder differentiation. Providing fascinating insights
into how teacher evaluation policies can support practice in a
variety of contexts, this timely collection will be of interest and
value to students and scholars of teacher evaluation and
professional development.
