by Carmen Luke Jennifer GoreFirst Published in 1992. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Feminism(s) in Early Childhood
by Kylie Smith Kate Alexander Sheralyn CampbellThis unique book brings together international scholars from around the globe to examine how different feminist theories are being used in early childhood research, policy and pedagogy. The array of feminist discourses captured by the authors offer contextualised possibilities for disrupting dominant patriarchal beliefs and producing change. The authors address and challenge how early childhood experiences, institutions and practices produce gendered effects across and within diverse contexts and demonstrate how feminism(s) in action can be used to reconceptualise research methods, government policy, children's learning, teaching practice and educational resources. In this way, the book contributes to creating new knowledge connections and community alliances in the global effort to end gender-based inequalities across local and global communities.
Feminism and the Classroom Teacher: Research, Praxis, Pedagogy
by Amanda Coffey Sara DelamontHow has feminism influenced contemporary educational practices? Is feminism relevant to today's teachers? Feminism and the Classroom Teacher undertakes a feminist analysis of the work and everyday realities of the school teacher, providing evidence that feminism is still relevant as a way of thinking about the social work and as a lived reality. Providing a unique contribution to the literature in the area of gender and education, the authors' objective is to articulate the educational discourses of gender - how gender is constructed, performed and sustained through discourse and material practices. The overall aim of the book is to ascertain the extent to which women teachers specifically, and the feminist project more generally, have contributed to theoretical understandings and practical accomplishments of teaching.
Feminism And Social Justice In Education: International Perspectives
by Kathleen WeilerAfter more than twenty years of feminist education research, policy development and innovative school practice, it seems appropriate to evaluate the impact and significance of this world wide struggle for social justice in education. At the same time, the recent restructuring of educational provision whether in the name of sexual equality or the ideologies of the New Right also requires a considered response from Those Committed To Promoting Greater Social Equality.; This Collection offers a unique opportunity to host an international forum on contemporary thinking and practice, not just within different national contexts, but for feminism more generally. ln adopting a critical feminist approach, the chapters re-establish such egalitarian traditions as radical feminism, black feminism and socialist feminism and address such themes as the interrelation between social class, race and gender and the ways these articulate with feminist educational practice.; In gathering together leading educators from five different countries all committed to the project of social transformation, this book represents the shifting concerns of the feminist theoretical debate and helps formulate feminist educational agendas more suited to the political and economic conditions which orevail in the 19905.
Feminism and 'The Schooling Scandal'
by Christine Skelton Becky FrancisFeminism and ‘The Schooling Scandal’ brings together feminist contributions from two generations of educational researchers, evaluating and celebrating the field of gender and education. The focus throughout is on the years of compulsory schooling, examining key concepts in gender and education identified and developed by international thinkers in educational feminism. Topics covered include: social class, ethnicity and sexuality in relation to experiences in school; theories and methodologies for understanding gender; pedagogy and practice in education; and the direction of educational policy and the ‘problem of boys’. Providing a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and theory emerging from ‘second wave’ feminism and assessing their impact on pupils and teachers in today’s schools and classrooms, this book forms essential reading for anyone studying gender and education.

Feminism and Intersectionality in Academia: Women’s Narratives and Experiences in Higher Education
by Stephanie Anne Shelton Jill Ewing Flynn Tanetha Jamay GroslandThis edited volume explores the diversities and complexities of women’s experiences in higher education. Its emphasis on personal narratives provides a forum for topics not typically found in in print, such as mental illness, marital difficulties, and gender identity. The intersectional narratives afford typically disenfranchised women opportunities to share experiences in ways that de-center standard academic writing, while simultaneously making these stories accessible to a range of readers, both inside and outside higher education.
‘Femininity’ and the History of Women's Education: Shifting the Frame
by Tim Allender Stephanie SpencerThis book draws on recent deconstructions around the idea of ‘femininity’ as a social, racial and class construct and explores the diversity of spaces that may be defined as educational that range from institutional contexts to family, to professional outlooks, to racial identity, to defining community and religious groupings. It explores how notions of femininity change across time and place, and within individual lives. Such changes take place at the interface of external forces and individual agency. The application of the notion of ‘femininity’ that assumes a consistent definition of the term is interrogated by the authors, leading to a discussion of the rich possibilities for new directions in research into women’s lives across time, place, and individual life histories.
Femina Problematis Solvendis—Problem solving Woman: A History of the Creativity of Women
by David H. CropleyThis book explores the history of modern human creativity/innovation, highlighting examples of solutions to basic human’ needs that have been developed over time. The title – Femina Problematis Solvendis – is a play on the scientific classifications of humans (Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens), but with special focus on inventions pioneered by women (“femina”) and is intended to suggest that a defining characteristic of modern humans is our fundamental ability to solve problems (i.e., problem-solving woman = Femina problematis solvendis), Written by David H. Cropley, an internationally recognised expert on creativity and innovation, it also builds on his previous book “Homo Problematis Solvendis –Problem-solving Man”, published in 2019. The book explores innovations over ten distinct “ages” of human history, beginning with “prehistory”, and moving up to the present “information age”. Each era is covered by a dedicated chapter that describes three key innovations that were either definitely invented by a woman or can be plausibly attributed to a female inventor. The book’s focus on female inventors also serves to highlight some of the ways women have been treated in societies over time.
The Female Tradition in Physical Education: Women First reconsidered (Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport)
by David Kirk and Patricia VertinskyThe Female Tradition in Physical Education re-examines a key question in the history of modern education: why did the remarkably successful leaders of female physical education, who pioneered the development of the subject in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, lose control in the years following the Second World War? Despite the later resurgence of second wave feminism they never regained a voice, with the result that male leadership was able to shift the curriculum in ways that neglected the needs and interests of girls and young women. Drawing on new sources and a range of historiographical approaches, and touching on related fields such as therapeutic exercise and dance, the book examines the development of physical education for girls in a number of countries to offer an alternative explanation to the dominant narrative of the ‘demise’ of the female tradition. Providing an important contextualization for the state of contemporary female physical education, this is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the development of sport and physical education, women’s and gender history, and physical culture more generally.
Female Students and Cultures of Violence in Cities (Routledge Studies in Education, Neoliberalism, and Marxism #9)
by Julia HallAs the economy constricts, it seems living with a chronic sense of fear and anxiety is the new normal for a growing number of urban females. Many females are susceptible to victimization by cumulative strands of violence in school, their communities, families and partnerships. Exposure to violence has been shown to contribute to physical and mental health problems, a propensity for substance abuse, transience and homelessness, and unsurprisingly, poor school attendance and performance. What does a girl do when there is no place to get away from this, and even school is a danger zone? Why have so many educators turned their attention away from the reality of violence against girls? Why is there a tendency to categorize such violence as just another example of the general concept of "bullying?" Critical educators who research the effects of current market logics on the schooling of marginalized youth have yet fully to focus on this issue. This volume puts the reality of violence in the lives of urban school girls back on the map, investigates answers to the above questions, and presents suggestions for change.
Female Muslim Student Experiences in Higher Education: A Narrative Inquiry
by Zahra Rafie Hemchand GossaiThis ethnographic study explores the lived experiences and challenges felt by Muslim female students in higher education in the greater District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area. It offers narrative case studies as a form of narrative inquiry based on stories of lived experience as a means of capturing dynamic, didactic, and dialectic understandings to promote and enable needed change in higher education. In centering the voices of Muslim female students, this research goes beyond the narrow statistical representation of predefined categories to examine and present the systematic nature and roots of social prejudice.
Female Islamic Education Movements: The Re-democratisation of Islamic Knowledge
by Masooda BanoSince the 1970s, movements aimed at giving Muslim women access to the serious study of Islamic texts have emerged across the world. In this book, Masooda Bano argues that the creative spirit that marked the rise and consolidation of Islam, whereby Islam inspired serious intellectual engagement to create optimal societal institutions, can be found within these education movements. Drawing on rich ethnographic material from Pakistan, northern Nigeria and Syria, Bano questions the restricted notion of agency associated with these movements, exploring the educational networks which have attracted educated, professional and culturally progressive Muslim women to textual study, thus helping to reverse the most damaging legacy of colonial rule in Muslim societies: the isolation of modern and Islamic knowledge. With its comparative approach, this will appeal to those studying and researching the role of women across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, as well as the wider Muslim world.
Female Genital Cutting, Women's Health, and Development
by Khama Rogo Tshiya Subayi Eiman Hussein Sharief Nahid Toubia'Female Genital Cutting, Women's Health, and Development' provides a comprehensive understanding of the issue of female genital mutilation/cutting-scope, challenges, opportunities, best practices, and how communities, development agencies, and national governments can work together to eliminate the practices on the ground. The World Bank is committed to assisting governments in ending the practice of female genital cutting, as the practice has direct, negative impact on the health and well-being of women around the world. The recommendations set forth in this paper take advantage of the World Bank's comparative advantage in dealing with governments. Continued silence perpetuates the practice, thereby undermining women's productivity.

Feltness: Research-Creation, Socially Engaged Art, and Affective Pedagogies
by Stephanie SpringgayStephanie Springgay’s concept of feltness—which emerges from affect theory, queer and feminist theory, and feminist conceptions of more-than-human entanglements—is a set of intimate practices of creating art based on touch, affect, relationality, love, and responsibility. In this book, she explores how feltness is a radical pedagogy that can be practiced with diverse publics, including children, who are often left out of conversations about who can learn in radical ways. Springgay examines the results of a decade-long project in which researchers, artists, students, and teachers participated in events in North American elementary, secondary, and postsecondary institutions. In projects that ranged from children learning to be critics and artists to university students experimenting with building “a public” through art, participants blended participatory art creation with academic research to address social justice issues. Springgay shows how feltness can redefine who is imagined to be capable of complex feeling, experiential learning, embodied practice, social engagement, and intimate care. In this way, feltness fosters learning that disrupts and defamiliarizes schools and institutions, knowledge systems, values, and the legibility of art and research.
Feliz de aprender en la escuela
by Catherine GueguenTodos los niños sienten, en los primeros años de su vida, una necesidad innata de aprender. Sin embargo, son muchos los que al llegar a la escuela frenan su creatividad, parecen no encajar y muestran síntomas de ansiedad y de frustración. ¿Qué está pasando? Para Catherine Gueguen, pediatra, especialista en comunicación no verbal y un nombre de referencia en la educación de los más pequeños, la causa se halla en un modelo educativo obsoleto, centrado en las relaciones de poder, la disciplina y el castigo, y eso, para el cerebro de un niño -maleable, inmaduro y frágil en grado sumo-, es tremendamente perjudicial. En opinión de Gueguen, la única forma de cambiar el sistema es replantear, y sobre todo reivindicar, la figura del profesor, y la clave para ello es la empatía. El profesor debe fomentar por encima de todo la empatía: - escuchar, - respetar - y animar al alumno a expresar sus emociones, sean estas buenas o malas. En definitiva, hacer del aula un lugar donde el niño o el adolescente se sienta seguro, valorado y querido. El resultado, como demuestran los cientos de estudios científicos y los testimonios que acompañan a este libro, no puede ser más alentador: el niño no solo se siente más contento, más comprometido y participativo en el aula, sino que su rendimiento escolar también mejora.
Felicità dalla A alla Z
by Vincenzo Cammarata Ana Claudia AntunesUna ricca guida facile da seguire con esercizi pratici basati sui principi dell'apprendimento sotto forma di alfabeto. Questo libro, come un ABC della felicità, rivela passo a passo gli insegnamenti e gli esercizi di autocoscienza per aumentare le tue possibilità nella vita. Con una chiarezza eccezionale che va al di là del velo eliminando i dubbi che separano te che lotti nella routine giornaliera dalla tua vera natura che si basa sul vivere in allegria e godendo della vita. In maniera colloquiale e amichevole, l'autrice espone il suo proprio modo di lasciare alle spalle le ansie e le paure, arrivando alle potenzialità della vera esistenza umana, arricchendo al massimo la propria vita e quella degli altri che ci circondano, facendo in modo che non siamo un mero specchio dei desideri designando un percorso che porta e eleva le persone verso la vera felicità e il successo al di là dell'immaginazione più fervida. Dopo la crisi economica che ci ha colpiti negli ultimi anni, le regole del mercato del lavoro sono cambiate drasticamente in tutto il mondo, e di ciò che funzionava fino ad ora sono rimaste solo le ceneri di quanto era presumibilmente una volta. In questo momento esatto, milioni di persone sono in attesa di scoprire quella grande opportunità, quel gran momento in cui potrebbero guardarsi allo specchio e dire: "Ho vinto!" E questo non è niente di pretenzioso, né tanto meno impossibile, un sogno irraggiungibile che si ascolta solo nelle favole. Le storie sono là fuori per dimostrare il contrario. È ovvio che siano poche. Perché la gente non riconosce ancora il potenziale che potrebbe essere, e tutte le soddisfazioni che potrebbe ottenere solamente se si concedesse di essere un pesce grande in un lago piccolo. Le persone pensano in grande, ma non hanno l'energia, né prendono le misure necessarie per raggiungere il proprio obiettivo. Non si stanno preparando. E stanno ancora pensando perché, per amor di Dio, non riescano a ottenere

Fehlermeldeverhalten in der Pflege: Rekonstruktion und Typisierung handlungsleitender Orientierungen von Pflegefachkräften
by Vivienne ThomasIn dem vorliegenden Werk geht es um die Bereitschaft von Pflegefachpersonen, Fehler zu melden. Aus einer professions- und fehlertheoretischen Perspektive wird die Frage untersucht, inwiefern die Entscheidung zur Fehlermeldung Teil des professionellen Selbstverständnisses von Pflegefachkräften ist und durch welche Erfahrungen es geprägt wird. Es wird deutlich, dass die Entscheidung, ob ein Fehler gemeldet wird oder nicht, abhängig ist von den Orientierungen zur Fehlerkultur, dem professionellen Selbstverständnis der Pflegefachkraft sowie den erlebten Erfahrungen. Dabei konnten drei Typen identifiziert werden, welche die primären, handlungsleitenden Orientierungen der Pflegefachkräfte widerspiegeln.
Fehlerkultur in Organisationen: Eine organisationsethnografische Studie in der stationären Altenpflege (Organisation und Pädagogik #33)
by Kerstin BestvaterIm Zentrum dieser Studie steht die Frage nach der Verflechtung der Fehlerkultur mit den Entscheidungs- und Handlungspraktiken in einer Alten- und Pflegeeinrichtung. Dafür wurde mit der pädagogischen Organisationsethnografie ein explorativer Zugang zum Forschungsgegenstand gewählt, der einen tiefen Einblick in die soziale Welt der Altenpflege gewährt. Kernstück ist eine konzeptualisierende Darstellung feldtypischer Praktiken und eine gegenstandsbezogene Theorieentwicklung, die im Sinne der Grounded Theory umgesetzt wurde. Das genuine Dilemma der Altenpflege zwischen Wirtschaftlichkeit und Pflegeethos führt zu Praxismustern, die als Problemlösungsstrategien auch die Fehlerkultur prägen.
#FeesMustFall and Youth Mobilisation in South Africa: Reform or Revolution? (Routledge Contemporary South Africa)
by Musawenkosi W NdlovuThis book examines the historical FeesMustFall (FMF) university student protests that took place in South Africa and shows how the enduring historical construction, representation and conceptualisation of South African youth (as typically radical and political) contributed to the (mis)interpretation of FMF protests, and led to a discourse on an African National Congress-toppling revolution. Arguing that the student protests were not the revolutionary movement they have been represented as, Ndlovu demonstrates that ideological divisions amongst the protestors, the declining economy, and reduced youth participation in the political public sphere cannot lead to a new revolution in South African politics. This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in South African politics, higher education, democracy and protest movements.

Feelings and Emotion-Based Learning
by Jennifer A. HawkinsThis book explores academic learning theories in relation to modern cognitive research. It suggests that developing a feelings and emotion-based learning theory could improve our understanding of human learning behavior. Jennifer A. Hawkins argues that feelings are rational in individuals' own terms and should be considered--whether or not we agree with them. She examines learners' experiences and posits that feelings and emotions are logical to individuals according to their current beliefs, memories, and knowledge. This volume provides rich case studies and empirical data, and shows that acknowledging feelings during and after learning experiences helps to solve cognitive difficulties and aids motivation and self-reflection. It also demonstrates various ways to record and analyze feelings to provide useful research evidence.
