With an increasing emphasis on the role of evidence in education,
primary school teachers need to find meaningful ways to engage in
research. Teachers and Young Researchers in Action supports
teachers and children in carrying out meaningful classroom research
that can transform practice. An accessible guide, it shows the
different ways in which children and teachers can go about their
research, the problems they may meet on the way and the tried and
tested methods to meet those challenges. Illustrated with rich
real-life examples of research projects - exploring rewards and
sanctions, values education, school structures and reading for
pleasure - it shows how we can celebrate the importance of the
voice of the child in school life, benefitting individual children,
teachers and schools alike. This accessible book outlines the
benefits of children's research for individual children, teachers
and schools as well as providing case studies that demonstrate how
young children's research projects can be successful. Written for
teachers by teachers, this go-to resource will be of interest to
anyone working with children as researchers looking to improve
their practice and in need of guidance and support.
This title was first published in 2001. For the English people, the
image of the monarchy is deeply bound up with the idea of
nationhood. This book surveys aspects of England's royal heritage
dialogue from the late middle ages to the 19th century. It
concentrates on monumental sculpted portraits because that was the
way in which the image of the monarchy was customarily presented in
the most immediate and permanent form at large scale in the public
arena. The aim of such memorials was to consolidate and commemorate
shared loyalties and beliefs, focusing on the monarchs. They were
sometimes protected by railings, more often than just by their
talismanic value. There was widespread resistance to the idea that
Oliver Cromwell should be commemorated by public memorial. The
English generally remained uncomfortable with the idea of
republicanism. The monarchial government of the middle ages,
thought to be sanctioned by God, was very different from the
figurehead the monarchy has become.

Sex work is a subject of significant contestation across academic
disciplines, as well as within legal, medical, moral, feminist,
political and socio-cultural discourses. A large body of research
exists, but much of this focuses on the sale of sex by women to men
and ignores other performances, practices, meanings and embodiments
in the contemporary sex industry. A queer agenda is important in
order to challenge hetero-centric gender norms and to develop new
insights into how gender, sex, power, crime, work, migration,
space/place, health and intimacy are understood in the context of
commercial sexual encounters. Queer Sex Work explores what it might
mean to 'be', 'do' and 'think' queer(ly) in the study and practice
of commercial sex. It brings together a multiplicity of empirical
case studies - including erotic dance venues, online sex working,
pornography, grey sexual economies, and BSDM - and offers a variety
of perspectives from academic scholars, policy practitioners,
activists and sex workers themselves. In so doing, the book
advances a queer politics of sex work that aims to disrupt
heteronormative logics whilst also making space for different
voices in academic and political debates about commercial sex. This
unique and multidisciplinary volume will be indispensable for
scholars and students of the global sex trade and of gender,
sexuality, feminism and queer theory more broadly, as well as
policymakers, activists and practitioners interested in the
politics and practice of sex work in local, national and
international contexts.

Body/State brings together original essays addressing various
aspects of the evolving interaction between bodies and states.
While each essay has different empirical and/or theoretical focus,
authors consider a number of overlapping themes to appreciate the
state's engagement with, and concern about, bodies. Divided into
five parts, the first part, 'Bodies Modified and Divided' considers
how the production, regulation, policing and maintenance of borders
(physical, social, sexual, political, religious, etc.) are used to
enable or constrain the physical (re)shaping of the body. Part two,
'Capital Bodies', extends the state's concern with the flows of
bodies that make up the nation to consider how they are enrolled in
the complex structures of capitalist exchange that form the basis
for maintaining and contesting a set of relationships between
states and markets. Part three, 'Deviance and Resistance', examines
both how states seek to discipline 'non-normal' bodies and
appreciates the capacity of changes in the socio-cultural meaning
and nature of bodies to resist and/or escape states. Part four,
'Sovereignty and Surveillance', develops themes of deviancy and
resistance by considering the impact of new technologies both on
the intimate regulatory reach of states into and across bodies and
on the nature of embodiment itself. Finally, Part five, 'The Body
Virtual', examines the impact of new technologies and online spaces
both on the intimate regulatory reach of states into and across
bodies and on the nature of embodiment itself. A varied collection
of essays that address important and complex topics in a readable
and creative way.
Global Social Justice provides a distinctive contribution to the
growing debate about global justice and global ethics. It brings a
multi-disciplinary voice - which spans philosophical, political and
social disciplines - and emphasises the social element of global
justice in both theory and practice. Bringing together a number of
internationally renowned scholars, the book explicitly addresses
debates about the scope and hierarchies of justice and considers
how different approaches and conceptions of justice inter relate.
It explores a diversity of themes relating to global social justice
including globalisation, human rights, ecological justice, gender
and sexuality, migration and trafficking, global health challenges,
post-conflict resolution and torture. Global Social Justice will be
vital reading for anyone interested in the political/philosophical
theories and practical issues surrounding global social justice,
including students and scholars of Political Science, International
Relations, Philosophy, Global Ethics, Environmental Studies,
Development Studies, Human Rights Law and Global Studies.

The Northern Soul scene is a dance-based music culture that
originated in the English North and Midlands in the early 1970s, it
still thrives today with a mix of fifty-year olds and new converts,
and its celebration of 1960s Soul has an international following.
This innovative and distinctive book brings together original
commissioned essays and pivotal scholarly articles that have
defined the field so far, interspersed with dossiers of published
journalistic articles and photographs, and interviews with, for
instance, producers and directors of Northern Soul-themed films.
This publication represents a subject-defining book on the history
and contemporary nature of the scene, and the first anthology of
work in the field, which will provide a forum for vibrant dialogue
and debate for a readership of lecturers and researchers, students
and general readers interested in creative analyses and
interpretations of the scene, past and present. The book links
academic research, photography, film production and journalism in
the documentation and analysis of historic and current music
scenes. Representations of the scene from different media and
different historical locations are juxtaposed to construct a rich
and diverse statement about the music, people, places and practices
that constitute the Northern Soul scene in the UK.
