Lads and Ladettes in School - Carolyn Jackson - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

FIRST PRIZE WINNER of the SOCIETY FOR EDUCATIONAL STUDIES book award 2006 "As a practising youth worker and researcher, I found this book a fascinating and engaging read…It provides a useful analysis and exploration of the classed and gendered ‘anti-school’ ethic in place presently within many schools, and it will provide a meaningful analysis for academics, policymakers and practitioners and anyone with an interest in gender, education and young people." Fin Cullen, Goldsmiths College, Review in Gender and Education "I would [therefore] urge everyone concerned with what is happening in schools to read this book, with its fascinating data and nuanced arguments." Heather Mendick, London Metropolitan University - Review in British Journal of Educational Studies This innovative book looks at how and why girls and boys adopt ‘laddish’ behaviours in schools. It examines the ways in which students negotiate pressures to be popular and ‘cool’ in school alongside pressures to perform academically. It also deals with the fears of academic and social failure that influence pupils’ school lives and experiences. Drawing extensively on the voices of students in secondary schools, it explores key questions about laddish behaviours, such as: - Are girls becoming more laddish – and if so, which girls? - Do boys and girls have distinctive versions of laddishness? - What motivates laddish behaviours? - What are the consequences of laddish behaviours for pupils? - - What are the implications for teachers and schools? The author weaves together key contemporary theories and research on masculinities and femininities with social psychological theories and research on academic motives and goals, in order to understand the complexities of girls’ and boys’ behaviours. This topical book is key reading for students, academics and researchers in education, sociology and psychology, as well as school teachers and education policy makers.

Imagining the Victim of Crime - Sandra Walklate - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

"...the clarity in which the wide range of relevant issues are presented throughout the book makes this must-reading for new entrants to this field and for students." International Review of Victimology This book situates the contemporary preoccupation with criminal victimisation within the broader socio-cultural changes of the last twenty five years. In so doing it addresses not only the policy possibilities that have been generated as a consequence of those changes but also concerns itself with the ability of victimology to help make sense of this change. Written in the post 9/11 context this book considers the efficacy of theory and policy relating to questions of victimhood to accommodate the current political and cultural climate and offers a critical understanding of both. It adopts an explicitly cross-cultural position on these questions. It will be vital reading for anyone interested in the problems and possibilities posed by criminal victimisation understood in the broadest terms.

I just wish that she could have written it before 2002 when I began my own training in Gestalt psychotherapy. There is a section at the beginning called ‘Praise for this book’ which includes very positive prepublication comments from Malcolm Parlett, James Kepner, and Lynne Jacobs. Now that I have read the book for myself, I find myself in agreement with their comments and want to add my own round of applause ... I consider that Taylor has made a major contribution to our field in taking this enterprise forward." British Gestalt Journal2014, Vol. 23, No. 2, 47–58 "Taylor’s remarkable contribution is a reminder that Gestalt Therapy Theory is alive and kicking and demonstrating how Gestalt can and should become the therapy of choice for trauma workers." Review published in Self and Society "A major contribution to Gestalt therapy''s growing catalogue of clinical literature. There is a lot to like about this book. It is well-researched, presented with clarity, and provides an excellent integration of the state of the art in relational Gestalt therapy theory and the breaking of new ground in Gestalt Therapy methodology in working with victims of trauma."

Racism and Antiracism in Real Schoolsa - David Gillborn - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Racism and Antiracism in Real Schoolsa - David Gillborn - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

* How are ''race'' and racism implicated in education policy and practice?* What does effective antiracism look like in practice?* How can teachers and school students be encouraged to think critically about their racialized assumptions and actions?In exploring these questions David Gillborn makes a vital contribution to the debate on ''race'' and racism in education. He focuses on racism in the policy, research, theory and practice of education, and includes the first major study of antiracism at the level of whole-school management and classroom practice. The voices of teachers and school students bring the issues to life, and illustrate the daily problems of life in urban schools. This is a fascinating picture of the key matters facing managers, classroom teachers and their students as schools struggle to develop strong and workable approaches to anti-racist education. It is accompanied by a critical review of current debates and controversies concerning ''race'', ethnicity and identity.Arguing for a critical return to the concept of ''race'', Racism and Antiracism in Real Schools represents an important addition to the literature on the theory and practice of education in a racist society.
