Radical Consumption: Shopping for Change in Contemporary Culture - Jo Littler - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Radical Consumption: Shopping for Change in Contemporary Culture - Jo Littler - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Ethical consumption, fair trade, consumer protests, brand backlashes, green goods, boycotts and downshifting: these are all now familiar consumer activities - and in some cases, are almost mainstream. They are part of the expanding field of ''radical consumption'' in a world where we are encouraged to shop for change. But just how radical are these forms of consumption? This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to examining contemporary radical consumption, analyzing its possibilities and problems, moralities, methods of mediation and its connections to wider cultural formations of production and politics. Jo Littler argues that we require a more expansive vocabulary and to open up new approaches of enquiry in order to understand the area''s many contradictions, strengths and weaknesses. Drawing on a number of contemporary theories, terms and debates in media and cultural studies, she uses a range of specific case studies to bring theory to life. By analysing practices of radical consumption, the book explores a number of key questions: - - Is ethical consumption merely a sop for the middle classes? - - What are the contradictions of green consumption? - - Should we understand corporate social responsibility as a form of consumer-oriented greenwash? - - Who benefits from the new forms of cosmopolitan caring consumption? - - Can such forms of consumption ever move beyond their niche market status to become an effective political force? - - Can we really buy our way to a better, more equitable or sustainable future? Radical Consumption is important reading for cultural, media and sociology students.

Making Sense of Theory and Practice in Early Childhood: The Power of Ideas - Karen Clarke - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

This accessible book demystifies the links between theory and practice for those studying in the field of early childhood. The book encourages those new to research to develop their investigations as straightforward narrative accounts of the phenomenon that they are investigating. Throughout the book the authors demonstrate the influence of theoretical perspectives on their own practice and research. They articulate how this adds depth to their studies by linking into wider and more enduring themes. The book is divided into two parts; part one looks at ''Community, interaction and identity'' and addresses several different aspects of social constructivist theory. Each author explores, less familiar, but increasingly influential ideas emanating from Vygotskian theory. Part two explores ''Structure, power and knowledge'' which includes a wider range of theoretical perspectives, that tell a more ''critical'' story about how the way society is structured, influences power, institutions and individuals. These theories help the authors to describe how working practices serve some groups and disadvantage others. Each chapter includes: - - Theoretical concepts, which are related to practice and / or research - - Case studies - - Examples from research practice enabling readers to explore the practical application of the ''big ideas'' - Further reading appropriate to the theoretical construct This book is essential reading for undergraduate students and trainee teachers.

EXPERIENCING SCHOOL MATHEMATICS - Boaler - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

EXPERIENCING SCHOOL MATHEMATICS - Boaler - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

"Jo Boaler has written a stunning book. Clearly written and carefully researched, it is a model of technical rigour. A wide range of qualitative and quantitative data is marshalled to produce exhaustive case studies of two contrasting mathematics departments - one traditional and one progressive. Boaler''s findings represent a major challenge to the ''back to basics'' credo. This book should be read as a matter of urgency by politicians, mathematics teachers, and educational researchers."- Stephen Ball, Professor of Sociology of Education, King''s College, London"Anyone with an interest in making sure that every child is numerate should read this book"- Sally Tomlinson, Professor of Sociology of Education, Goldsmith''s College, LondonExperiencing School Mathematics is the first book of its kind to provide direct evidence for the effectiveness of ''traditional'' and ''progressive'' teaching methods. It reports upon careful and extensive case studies of two schools which taught mathematics in totally different ways. Three hundred students were followed over three years and the interviews that are reproduced in the book give compelling insights into what it meant to be a student in the classrooms of the two schools. The different school approaches are compared and analysed using student interviews, lesson observations, questionnaires given to students and staff and a range of different assessments, including GCSE examinations. Questions are raised about:* the effectiveness of different teaching methods in preparing students for the demands of the ''real world'' and the 21st century* the impact of setted and mixed ability teaching upon student attitude and achievement* gender and learning stylesand new evidence is provided for each.The book draws some radical new conclusions about the ways that traditional teaching methods lead to limited forms of knowledge that are ineffective in non-school settings. The book will be essential reading for maths teachers, parents and policy makers in education.

Healthcare Management - Kieran Walshe - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Healthcare Management - Kieran Walshe - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

This popular book is written by leading experts in the field and covers all the key aspects of healthcare management. Written with healthcare managers, professionals and students in mind, it provides an accessible and evidence-based guide to healthcare systems, services, organizations and management. Key areas covered include: • Structure and delivery of healthcare services in the international context, including mental health, acute care, primary care, chronic disease and integrated care • Allocating resources for healthcare: setting and managing priorities • Health technologies, research and innovation • Global health policy: governing health systems across borders • Patient and public involvement in healthcare • Healthcare governance and performance This third edition has been significantly rewritten, with 10 new contributors and a new chapter structure designed to better support learning, practical application and further study. In addition, there is a more international focus and each chapter includes new case studies giving global examples of health systems and services, new and updated learning activities to encourage application to your own organization, and a range of links to useful online resources. Healthcare Management is essential research-based reading for students, teachers and healthcare professionals involved in management, research and health policy making. “Walshe and Smith have assembled an invaluable introduction to healthcare management and health systems. With their fellow authors, they provide a comprehensive review of a range of issues related to the funding and provision of care, and how services are organised and managed. Now in its third edition, Healthcare Management has been updated and revised to meet the needs of teachers and students alike.” Professor Chris Ham, Chief Executive, The King’s Fund, UK "This book covers the main areas of knowledge which managers need, and gives tools for thinking and empirical examples relevant to current challenges. Evidence based management might not always be possible, but this book gives a way for a manager to become research-informed and therefore more effective. This third edition of the book is even more relevant internationally and improved to help readers apply the ideas to their situation.” Professor John Øvretveit, Director of Research, LIME/MMC, The Karolinska Institute, Sweden “No-one learns to be a manager in a classroom or from a book, but books that take this disclaimer as their starting point are indispensable. Walshe and Smith (and their fellow authors) invite their audience (healthcare managers, healthcare policy makers and postgraduate students, taking courses in healthcare management) to critically combine experiential learning with academic learning and to acquire knowledge from both practice and theory. By doing so, they have found the third way between the advocates of evidence-based management and their criticasters.” Dr. Jan-Kees Helderman, Associate Professor in Public Administration, Institute for Management Research, Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands

Domestication of Media and Technology - Katie Ward - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Domestication of Media and Technology - Katie Ward - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an overview of a key concept in media and technology studies: domestication. Theories around domestication shed light upon the process in which a technology changes its status from outrageous novelty to an aspect of everyday life which is taken for granted. The contributors collect past, current and future applications of the concept of domestication, critically reflect on its theoretical legacy, and offer comments about further development. The first part of Domestication of Media and Technology provides an overview of the conceptual development and theory of domestication. In the second part of the book, contributors look at a diverse range of empirical studies that use the domestication approach to examine the dynamics between users and technologies. These studies include: - Mobile information and communications techologies (ICTs) and the transformation of the relationship between private and the public spheres - Home-based internet use: the two-way dynamic between the household and its social environment - Disadvantaged women in Europe undertaking introductory internet courses - Urban middle-class families in China who embrace ICTs and view them as instruments of upward mobility and symbols of success The book offers valuable insights for both experienced researchers and students looking for an introduction to the concept of domestication.
