This volume explores how educators conceptualized and implemented
critical approaches to systemic functional linguistics that support
bilingual students in appropriating and challenging dominant
knowledge domains in K-16 contexts. The researchers exhibit a
shared commitment to enacting a culturally sustaining SFL praxis
that validates multilingual meaning making, pushes against social
inequity, and fosters creative re-mixing of available semiotic
resources. It should prove a valuable resource for students,
teachers and researchers interested in applied linguistics,
education and critical theory.
By introducing a framework for culturally sustaining Systemic
Functional Linguistics (SFL) praxis, Harman, Burke and other
contributing authors guide readers through a practical and analytic
exploration of youth participatory work in classroom and community
settings. Applying an SFL lens to critical literacy and schooling,
this book articulates a vision for youth learning and civic
engagement that focuses on the power of performance, spatial
learning, community activism and student agency. The book offers a
range of research-driven, multimodal resources and methods for
teachers to encourage students' meaning-making. The authors share
how teachers and community activists can interact and support
diverse and multilingual youth, fostering a dynamic environment
that deepens inquiry of the arts and disciplinary area of
knowledge. Research in this book provides a model for collaborative
engagement and community partnerships, featuring the voices of
students and teachers to highlight the importance of agency and
action research in supporting literacy learning and transformative
inquiry. Demonstrating theoretically and practically how SFL praxis
can be applied broadly and deeply in the field, this book is
suitable for preservice teachers, teacher educators, graduate
students and scholars in bilingual and multilingual education,
literacy education and language policy.

Play and Performance offers hope to those lamenting the loss of
play in the twenty-first century and aims to broaden the
understanding of what play is. This volume showcases the work of
programs from early childhood through adulthood, in a variety of
educational and therapeutic settings, and from a range of
theoretical and practical perspectives. The chapters cover an array
of practices that can be seen across the play to performance
continuum. Taken together, the myriad ways that play is performance
and performance is play become clear, sometimes blurring the need
for distinction. The volume provides play advocates, researchers
and practitioners a wealth of practical and theoretical ideas for
expanding the use of performance as a tool for creating playful
environments where children and adults can create and develop.
This authoritative guide, the companion to Yorkshire West Riding:
Leeds, Bradford and the North, covers a vast area marked by
tremendous diversity of both landscape and buildings. The territory
is rich in medieval churches and castles, 17th-century houses and
18th-century mansions, yet it is also deservedly famous for its
outstanding 19th- and 20th-century ecclesiastical, civic,
commercial and industrial buildings. Major examples of every period
of English architecture are represented, from Selby Abbey to the
palatial country house of the Earls Fitzwilliam at Wentworth
Woodhouse, and from Halifax Town Hall to Sheffield's Park Hill
flats and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield. In the fine
Pevsner tradition, this book situates the region's full array of
buildings within geological, local, national, and international
contexts.
