Tiepolo Blue: 'The best novel I have read for ages' Stephen Fry
by James CahillA BBC "BOOKS OF 2022" PICKAn exquisite debut novel. A mid-life coming-of-age story charting one man's sexual awakening and his spectacular fall from grace in 1990s London, raising questions about art and beauty, sex and censure.Ben turns and grins ironically. 'When you stopped just now and looked at the sky, you weren't measuring it. You weren't thinking about classical proportion. You were feeling something.'Cambridge, 1994. Professor Don Lamb is a revered art historian at the height of his powers, consumed by the book he is writing about the skies of the Venetian master Tiepolo. However, his academic brilliance belies a deep inexperience of life and love.

But his epiphany is also a moment of self-reckoning, as his oldest friendship - and his own unexamined past - are revealed to him in a devastating new light. As Don's life unravels, he suffers a fall from grace that that shatters his world into pieces.(P) 2022 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Tiergestützte Pädagogik – Soziale Teilhabe – Inklusive Prozesse: Der Einsatz von Schulhunden aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive
by Mona Maria MombeckLehrkräfte setzen Hunde im Unterricht ein, um die soziale Inklusion zu fördern. Doch welchen Einfluss hat tiergestützte Pädagogik auf die sozialen Strukturen in Schulklassen? Wie lassen sich diese Einflüsse erklären und welche Schlussfolgerungen können für die Förderung von sozialer Inklusion abgeleitet werden? Diese Fragen werden mit einer der ersten empirischen Erhebungen zu Auswirkungen tiergestützter Pädagogik auf die soziale Partizipation von Schüler*innen beantwortet. Der Einfluss von Schulhunden wird gezielt hinsichtlich des Wohlbefindens, der Arbeitsatmosphäre und sozialer Beziehungen zwischen den Lernenden, aber auch zwischen Klasse und Lehrkraft erhoben. Die Analyse der Ergebnisse zeigt: Mithilfe von tiergestützter Pädagogik werden soziale Strukturen positiv beeinflusst und Teilhabemöglichkeiten geschaffen. Vor dem Hintergrund pädagogischer und soziologischer Theorien werden die Ergebnisse interpretiert und erklärt. Leser*innen erhalten praktische Hinweise für die Förderung sozialer und emotionaler Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen sowie für die Vermittlung inklusiver Werte und die Beziehungsgestaltung.
Tiermisshandlungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter: Eine qualitative Analyse zu pädagogischer Anamnese, Diagnostik und Interventionsstrategien

Als Ergebnis einer qualitativen Analyse werden anschließend Erfahrungen von Fachkräften der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe geschildert, die ihre Falleinschätzungen und Handlungsoptionen beschreiben. Mit vier Fallgeschichten wird die Annahme der Autorin gestützt, dass zwischen vier verschiedenen Formen der Tiermisshandlungen unterschieden werden kann.

TikTok – Memefication und Performance: Interdisziplinäre Zugänge (Digitale Linguistik #2)
by Simon Meier-Vieracker Friederike Fischer Lisa NiendorfGegenstand des interdisziplinären Open-Access-Bandes ist die Videoplattform TikTok, die als eines der meistgenutzten Sozialen Netzwerke große gesellschaftliche Relevanz entfalten konnte und insbesondere in (außer-)schulischen Bildungsbereichen eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle spielt. Nach anfänglichem Alarmismus einerseits und Marginalisierung als reines Spaßmedium andererseits wird TikTok insbesondere in internationalen Forschungskontexten längst als kulturwissenschaftlicher Gegenstand ernst genommen. Die auf TikTok zu beobachtenden kommunikativen Praktiken und Genres, in denen aktuelle Ereignisse und Diskurse in plattformtypischer Weise verhandelt und performativ in Szene gesetzt werden, führen stärker noch als andere Soziale Medien die Zeichenmodalitäten Bild, Ton und Sprache zusammen und eröffnen dadurch neue Optionen der Vermittlung, der diskursiven Aneignung und der sozialen Repräsentation. Die grundlegenden Affordanzen der Plattform, insbesondere die Möglichkeit, zu bestehenden Sounds neue Videos zu produzieren, begünstigen dabei einen stark von Intertextualität, Intermedialität und Imitation geprägten Modus von Inszenierung und Performance, der im Anschluss an neuere Forschungen zu digitalen (Bild-)Praktiken als Memefication bezeichnet werden kann. Der Band fragt deshalb danach, wie sich das multimodale Mediensetting von TikTok im Spannungsfeld von Memefication und Performance zu einer charakteristischen Form vernetzter Öffentlichkeit ausgestaltet und welche Vermittlungsoptionen in verschiedenen Praxisfeldern sich hierbei ergeben. Dafür werden unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche Perspektiven gebündelt, welche die Videoplattform als empirischen Untersuchungsgegenstand erschließen und hierfür geeignete theoretische Konzepte und methodische Zugänge entwickeln. Inhaltlich umfasst der Band Beiträge aus den Sprach-, Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaften, der Film- und Musikwissenschaft, der Ingenieurswissenschaft sowie didaktischen und erziehungswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen,die in drei Teilen miteinander in Bezug gesetzt werden: Neben TikTok-spezifischen digitalen Praktiken gilt das Interesse dem Status der Plattform in Vermittlungs- und Bildungskontexten sowie in der Wissenschaftskommunikation.

Tilting at Windmills: School Reform, San Diego, and Americas Race to Renew Public Education
by Richard Lee ColvinA book that draws equally on Richard Lee Colvin's deep acquaintance with contemporary education reform and the unique circumstances of the San Diego experience, Tilting at Windmills is a penetrating and invaluable account of Alan Bersin's contentious superintendency. Between 1998, when Alan Bersin became superintendent of the San Diego school system, and 2005, when he left that post, San Diego undertook a sustained and notably ambitious effort to reform its public school system. Bersin's efforts were controversial from the start, both within San Diego and throughout the United States. Yet everyone agreed that the San Diego story was an immensely important one--and that it was a harbinger of reform efforts to come throughout the United States. As an early and ambitious instance of the types of reforms that by now have been implemented in city schools across the nation, San Diego has received scattered attention within the scholarly and policy worlds. Yet till now there has been no comprehensive account of Bersin's tenure and the reforms he undertook during those seven stormy years. Tilting at Windmills fills that gap. A book that draws equally on Richard Lee Colvin's deep acquaintance with contemporary education reform and the unique circumstances of the San Diego experience, Tilting at Windmills is a penetrating and invaluable account of Bersin's contentious superintendency. At the heart of Colvin's research are years of interviews with Bersin, who granted Colvin unprecedented insight into his experiences and thoughts about the reforms he initiated. The result is a detailed and nuanced narrative of the reform process in San Diego and its relationship to comparable school reform efforts throughout the country. The definitive account of the San Diego story, Tilting at Windmills is also a crucial contribution to our more general understanding of the education reforms that have swept the nation during the past fifteen years.

Time Management for Academic Impact: Controlling Teaching Treadmills and Tornadoes
by Kate AmesAcademic staff are appointed to teach, research, consult, manage, and learn new technology amidst increasing pressure and dissatisfaction with workloads. They must learn new techniques to engage students who study across different modes, often juggling life and work. This book aims to blend good teaching practice with good time management skills to help academics feel more productive, confident, and in control of their ‘teaching side’. Time Management for Academic Impact explores the relationship between academic workload models, identity, and worldview with our approach to teaching (and research). Using the analogy of life on a treadmill in the midst of tornadoes, it identifies effective, simple, research-informed strategies that will reduce time spent on activities that have low, minimal, or individual impact. Outlining the unique nature of academic work, this book invites the reader to reflect on their own contractual model and helps them to identify ‘time thieves’, to implement strategies to address these, and to create ‘time boundaries’ – reclaiming control of their own time. This approach will result in more satisfied students, increased research output, and more time for academics to do the work they want to do. This book will be of great use to university academics and faculty staff balancing research and teaching loads. It will also help vocational and community college educators and professionals working in part time, casual, or contract academic roles.
