The Courage to Learn Honoring the Complexity of Learning for Educators and Students

The Courage to Learn Honoring the Complexity of Learning for Educators and Students

It takes courage to engage in the kind of deep transformational learning that so many people need in their lives and this book is designed to help find and nurture that courage in learners including those that are engaged in facilitating the courageous learning of others. Inspired by Parker Palmer’s classic book The Courage to Teach the authors have carefully examined the learning side of the teaching and learning relationship and this book shares the resulting wealth of knowledge and experience with readers. This book is informed by Palmer’s observation that the conversations in teaching can be organized around four questions: what how why and who. In this book the authors center learning instead of teaching as they ask: What is the content of learning? How do we learn? Why is it necessary what motivates us? And who is the self that learns?The authors have engaged in conversation with adult learners across the lifespan representing different ages social/economic levels and approaches to learning. Drawing on these discussions their own experiences and the scholarly literature they weave a tapestry with threads of learning and teaching story and analysis that serve as warp and weft. The authors pay tribute to the learner’s journey in the fullness of the process and name the distinct forms of courage that learning takes. In the concluding chapter the authors explore the implications for educational practice and offer guidance for any educator wishing to bring a Courage to Learn conversation to their community. | The Courage to Learn Honoring the Complexity of Learning for Educators and Students

The Courage to Fail A Social View of Organ Transplants and Dialysis

The Courage to Fail A Social View of Organ Transplants and Dialysis

The title of this profound work conveys the bold uncertain and often dangerous adventure in which medical professionals and their organ transplant and dialysis patients are engaged. Built around a series of case studies The Courage to Fail is the product of collaborative first-hand research concerned with various social phenomena generated by transplantation and dialysis. The authors examine the individuals involved and the workings and atmosphere of some of the medical centers in which these forms of therapy have been developed. They examine gift-exchange dimensions of transplantation: the transcendent and tyrannical aspects of the gift of life that transplants entail for donors and recipients-and for medical professionals as well. They also analyze the dilemma of uncertainty inherent in medicine which occurs with particular force in the development of such experimental techniques. Since publication of the original edition the authors have continued to follow social and medical developments surrounding organ transplants and dialysis. In their new introduction they discuss transplantation as a gift of life how and when death occurs efforts to procure more organs and organ replacement and issues of equity. This book will be of interest to physicians medical students medical sociologists and anyone interested in the history of and issues surrounding organ transplantation and dialysis. | The Courage to Fail A Social View of Organ Transplants and Dialysis

What Tends to Be The Philosophy of Dispositional Modality

What Tends to Be The Philosophy of Dispositional Modality

People tend to enjoy listening to music or watching television sleeping at night and celebrating birthdays. Plants tend to grow and thrive in sunlight and mild temperatures. We also know that tendencies are not perfectly regular and that there are patterns in the natural world which are reliable to a degree but not absolute. What should we make of a world where things tend to be one way but could be another? Is there a position between necessity and possibility? If there is what are the implications for science knowledge and ethics?This book explores these questions and is the first full-length treatment of the philosophy of tendencies. Anjum and Mumford argue that although the philosophical language of tendencies has been around since Aristotle there has not been any serious commitment to the irreducible modality that they involve. They also argue that the acceptance of an irreducible and sui generis tendential modality ought to be the fundamental commitment of any genuine realism about dispositions or powers. It is the dispositional modality that makes dispositions authentically disposition-like. Armed with this theory the authors apply it to a variety of key philosophical topics such as chance causation epistemology and free will. | What Tends to Be The Philosophy of Dispositional Modality

Justice Indigenous Peoples and Canada A History of Courage and Resilience

Justice Indigenous Peoples and Canada A History of Courage and Resilience

Justice Indigenous Peoples and Canada: A History of Courage and Resilience brings together the work of a number of leading researchers to provide a broad overview of criminal justice issues that Indigenous people in Canada have faced historically and continue to face today. Both Indigenous and Canadian scholars situate current issues of justice for Indigenous peoples broadly defined within the context of historical realities and ongoing developments. By examining how justice is defined both from within Indigenous communities and outside of them this volume examines the force of Constitutional reform and subsequent case law on Indigenous rights historically and in contemporary contexts. It then expands the discussion to include theoretical considerations particularly settler colonialism that help explain how ongoing oppressive and assimilationist agendas continue to affect how so-called justice is administered. From a critical perspective the book examines the operation of the criminal justice system through bail specialized courts policing sentencing incarceration and release. It explores legal frameworks as well as current issues that have significantly affected Indigenous peoples such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls human rights resurgence and identity. This unique collection of perspectives exposes the disconcerting agenda of historical and modern-day Canadian federal government policy and the continued denial of Indigenous rights to self-determination. It is essential reading for those interested in the struggles of the Indigenous peoples in Canada as well as anyone studying race crime and justice. | Justice Indigenous Peoples and Canada A History of Courage and Resilience

Learning to be Human The Educational Legacy of John Macmurray

Learning to be Human The Educational Legacy of John Macmurray

The educational writings of John Macmurray one of the finest 20th century philosophers of his generation have a special relevance for us today. In similar circumstances of international crisis he argued for the central importance of education addressing fundamental issues of human purpose - how we lead good lives together the emphasis on wisdom rather than knowledge alone the advancement of a truly democratic culture and the overriding importance of community in human flourishing. This remarkable collection of articles from leading international scholars includes the hitherto unpublished John Macmurray lecture – Learning to be Human – and brings together invited contributions from a range of fields and disciplines (e. g. philosophy of education moral philosophy care ethics history of education theology religious education future studies and learning technologies) and a number of countries across the world (e. g. Australia the UK and the USA). Countering overemphasis on technique and its typical separation from wider human purposes emblematic of much of our current malaise this book asks what it might mean to take the education of persons seriously and how such a perspective helps us to form judgments about the nature and worth of contemporary education policy and practice. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Oxford Review of Education. | Learning to be Human The Educational Legacy of John Macmurray

The History and Bioethics of Medical Education You've Got to Be Carefully Taught

The History and Bioethics of Medical Education: You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught continues the Routledge Advances in the History of Bioethics series by exploring approaches to the teaching of bioethics from disparate disciplines geographies and contexts. Van Rensselaer Potter coined the phrase Global Bioethics to define human relationships with their contexts. This and subsequent volumes return to Potter’s founding vision from historical perspectives and asks how did we get here from then? The patient-practitioner relationship has come to the fore in bioethics; this volume asks: is there an ideal bioethical curriculum? Are the students being carefully taught and in turn are they carefully learning? This volume will appeal to those working in both clinical medicine and the medical humanities as vibrant connections are drawn between various ways of knowing. | The History and Bioethics of Medical Education You've Got to Be Carefully Taught

Freud Alder and Jung Discovering the Mind

Freud Alder and Jung Discovering the Mind

Walter Kaufmann completed this the third and final volume of his landmark trilogy shortly before his death in 1980. The trilogy is the crowning achievement of a lifetime of study writing and teaching. This final volume contains Kaufmann's tribute to Sigmund Freud the man he thought had done as much as anyone to discover and illuminate the human mind. Kaufmann's own analytical brilliance seems a fitting reflection of Freud's and his acute commentary affords fitting company to Freud's own thought. Kaufmann traces the intellectual tradition that culminated in Freud's blending of analytic scientific thinking with humanistic insight to create a poetic science of the mind. He argues that despite Freud's great achievement and celebrity his work and person have often been misunderstood and unfairly maligned the victim of poor translations and hostile critics. Kaufmann dispels some of the myths that have surrounded Freud and damaged his reputation. He takes pains to show how undogmatic how open to discussion and how modest Freud actually was. Kaufmann endeavors to defend Freud against the attacks of his two most prominent apostate disciples Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung. Adler is revealed as having been jealous hostile and an ingrate a muddled thinker and unskilled writer and remarkably lacking in self-understanding. Jung emerges in Kaufmann's depiction as an unattractive petty and envious human being an anti-Semite an obscure and obscurantist thinker and like Adler lacking insight into himself. Freud on the contrary is argued to have displayed great nobility and great insight into himself and his wayward disciples in the course of their famous fallings-out. | Freud Alder and Jung Discovering the Mind

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Not Be Monogamous

Why It's OK to Not Be Monogamous

The downsides of monogamy are felt by most people engaged in long-term relationships including restrictions on self-discovery limits on friendship sexual boredom and a circumscribed understanding of intimacy. Yet a happily ever after monogamy is assumed to be the ideal form of romantic love in many modern societies: a relationship that is morally ideal and will bring the most happiness to its two partners. In Why It’s OK to Not Be Monogamous Justin L. Clardy deeply questions these assumptions. He rejects the claim that non-monogamy among honest informed and consenting adults is morally impermissible. He shows instead how polyamorous relationships can actually be exemplars of moral virtue. The book discusses how social and political forces sustain and reward monogamous relationships. The book defines non-monogamy as a privative concept; a negation of monogamy. Looking at its prevalence in the United States the book explains how common criticisms of non-monogamy come up short. Clardy argues as some researchers have recently shown—monogamy relies on continually demonizing non-monogamy to sustain its moral status. Finally the book concludes with a focus on equality asking what justice for polyamorous individuals might look like. | Why It's OK to Not Be Monogamous

Jamestown Archaeology Remains To Be Seen

Jamestown Archaeology Remains To Be Seen

This book showcases the latest information and newly discovered seventeenth-century artifacts from Jamestown Virginia the first permanent English settlement in America. Jamestown Archaeology: Remains to be Seen uses archaeological discoveries to greatly augment what we know about the settlement from written records. It discusses how the archaeological revelations recreate the backdrop where amid Jamestown's growing fortifications its houses government buildings churches graves and village streets the rule of law representative democratic government and venture capitalism took root in America. The volume examines the archaeological discoveries that date from the time of the first fortifications (James Fort 1607–1624) to the middle of the eighteenth century. It includes a chapter devoted specifically to how the fort was built then redesigned and enlarged. It also addresses the archaeological examination of sites and artifacts relating to the Virginia Indians including a discussion of Pocahontas and the location of her lost grave in England. The 1676 Bacon's Rebellion is explored along with various episodes of destruction and the building of the first Virginia Capitol building the Ludwell Statehouse Complex. The last chapter presents a comparative review of Jamestown Island maps drawn every century since the town was founded showing photographically and cartographically how much of the Island and its archaeological sites have been lost to erosion and rising water for 400 years ending with thoughts about the need for rescuing sites today in the face of climate change sea level rise and more Island land erosion. This book is for historical archaeologists and historians as well as readers with an interest in the beginnings of America. | Jamestown Archaeology Remains To Be Seen

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

This book offers readers a pitch-side view of the ethics of fandom. Its accessible six chapters are aimed both at true sports fans whose conscience may be occasionally piqued by their pastime and at those who are more certain of the moral hazards involved in following a team or sport. Why It’s OK to Be a Sports Fan wrestles with a range of arguments against fandom and counters with its own arguments on why being a fan is very often a good thing. It looks at the ethical issues fans face from the violent or racist behavior of those in the stands to players’ infamous misdeeds to owners debasing their own clubs. In response to these moral risks the book argues that by being critical fans followers of a team or individual can reap the benefits of fandom while avoiding many of the ethical pitfalls. The authors show the value in deeply loving a team but also how a condition of this value is recognizing that the love of a fan comes with real limits and responsibilities. Key Features Provides an accessible introduction to a key area of the philosophy of sport Closely looks at some of the salient ethical concerns around sports fandom Proposes that the value of community in partisan fandom should not be underestimated as a key feature of the good life Examines how the same emotions and environments that can lead to violence are identical to those that lead to virtuous loyalty Argues for a fan’s responsibility in calling out violence or racist behavior from their fellow fans | Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

What Is to Be Done About Violence Against Women? Gendered Violence(s) in the Twenty-first Century

What Is to Be Done About Violence Against Women? Gendered Violence(s) in the Twenty-first Century

This book maps the problems and possibilities of the policies and practices designed to tackle violence against women in the domestic sphere over the last 40 years. In 2018 the United Nations declared the home the most dangerous place for women around the word and in early April 2020 the United Nations Population Fund predicted that for every three months that government-enforced lockdowns in response to coronavirus an additional 15 million cases of domestic violence would occur worldwide. This book asks the simple yet critical question: how can governments best ensure women’s safety in the twenty-first century? Taking its title from Elizabeth Wilson’s 1983 book and her three-level approach of considering the role of social policy the law and ideology Fitz-Gibbon and Walklate draw on their expertise of femicide domestic abuse and family violence to examine the salience of global and local policy and practice responses to such violence(s) and to ask timely questions about the ongoing value of the recourse to the criminal law for twenty-first century policy. Comparative in orientation appreciative of the importance of geographical and social context and committed to understanding the historical processes that continue to frame policy responses this book takes a long hard look at what has and has not been achieved in relation to domestic abuse and family violence and seeks to challenge all that has come to be taken for granted in responding to such violence(s). Published in the 40th Anniversary of Elizabeth Wilson’s ground-breaking contribution this book is destined to become a classic in its own right. It is essential reading for all those engaged in feminist criminology gender and crime family and domestic violence and violence against women. | What Is to Be Done About Violence Against Women?

The Routledge Guidebook to the New Testament offers an academic introduction to the New Testament examining: The social and historical context in which the New Testament was written The primary text supporting students in close analysis from a range of consensus positions The contemporary reception and ongoing influence of the New Testament With further reading suggestions this guidebook is essential reading for all students of religion and philosophy and all those wishing to engage with this important work.
