Sámi Educational History in a Comparative International Perspective
by Merja Paksuniemi Otso Kortekangas Pigga Keskitalo Jukka Nyyssönen Andrej Kotljarchuk David SjögrenThis book provides a comprehensive overview of Sámi education in a historical and internationally comparative perspective. Despite the cross-national character of the Sámi population, academic literature on Sámi education has so far been published within the different nation states in the Sámi area, and rarely in English. Exploring indigenous educational history around the world, this collection spans from Asia to Oceania to Sápmi and the Americas. The chapters frame Sámi school history within an international context of indigenous and minority education. In doing so, two narrative threads are established: both traditional history of education, and perspectives on the decolonisation of education. This pioneering book will appeal to students and scholars of Sámi education, as well as indigenous education around the world.
São Paulo in the Twenty-First Century: Spaces, Heterogeneities, Inequalities (Routledge Advances in Sociology)
by Eduardo Cesar MarquesThis book analyzes in detail the main social, economic and special transformation of the city of São Paulo. In the last 30 years, São Paulo has become a more heterogeneous and less unequal city. Contrary to some expectations, the recent economic transformations did not produce social polarization, and the localized processes of spaces production (and the plural is increasingly important) are more and more key to define their respective growth patterns, social conditions, forms of housing production, service availability and urban precariousness. In other dimensions, however, inequalities remain present and strong and certain disadvantaged areas have changed little and are still marked by strong social inequalities. The metropolis remains heavily segregated in terms of race and class, in a clear hierarchical structure. The book shows that it is necessary to escape from dual and polarity interpretations. This did not lead to the complete disappearance of a crudely radial and concentric structure (not only due to geographic path dependence), but superposes other elements over it, leading to more complexes and continuous patterns. A general summary of these elements could perhaps be stated as pointing to greater social/spatial heterogeneity, accompanied by smaller, but reconfigured inequalities.
Søren Kierkegaard
by Søren Harnow KlausenThis book is a succinct guide to Søren Kierkegaard’s contribution to educational thought. Kierkegaard is not usually known as an educational thinker, but the book shows how his key notions and ideas are nevertheless highly relevant to educational theory and practice. It places them within the context of Kierkegaard’s philosophy and the philosophy of his time, while also exploring their significance to issues of contemporary concern, like the question of how far education should aim at fostering useful skills or support more ambitious goals. The central topics are Kierkegaard’s diagnosis of the limitations of objective knowledge and his corresponding emphasis on know-how, personal appropriation and subjective attitude; his analysis of more or less successful forms of self-realization; his ideas about fostering personal development through “indirect communication” and dialogue; and the elements, strengths and shortcomings of the ideal of self-cultivation (German Bildung).
T-Group Facilitation: Theory and Practice of Applied Behavioural Science
by Lalitha Iyer Sharad Sakorkar Sankarasubramanyan Ramamoorthy Tejinder Singh Bhogal Renuka Raj SinghThis book offers the core conceptual base for the practice of T-Group facilitation. Drawing from the fields of psychology, social psychology, sociology, diversity studies and Indian philosophical thoughts, this book is a great resource for enhancing the practice of T-Group facilitation, for both budding and established facilitators. It covers a wide range of theories on human development, self-awareness, interpersonal interactions, groups and change. Individual and group identities, diversity, inclusion and social hierarchies are explored in detail here. The authors offer a model of T-Group facilitation based on 50 years of experience within the Indian Society for Applied Behavioural Science (ISABS). This model is useful not only for fellow practitioners of T-Groups but also for anyone engaged in facilitating groups, organizations and communities globally. This book helps one to reflect, develop and sharpen one’s competencies, values and ethics in this field. The chapters are embedded with activities, quizzes, case studies and exercises to facilitate a deeper understanding of the various elements used in the book. This book will be of interest to students, teachers and practitioners of psychology, social psychology, management studies and organizational development. It will also be useful for T-Group facilitators, facilitators of experiential groups and related fields.
T. H. Marshall's Social Policy: In the Twentieth Century (Routledge Revivals)
by A. M. ReesOriginally published in 1965, Social Policy became a classic text and one of the best-known and most widely-used textbooks in social administration. This Routledge Revival reissues the 5th edition of 1985. T. H. Marshall’s masterly and unrivalled analysis of the development of welfare policies between 1890 and 1945 remains unchanged. The second half the book, with a chapter on every ‘arm’ of the welfare state, retains Marshall’s original structure but was completely rewritten and updated by A. M. Rees, considering developments to the end of 1984. An indispensable introductory text, this is a key book for all students of social administration, economic and social history and 20th Century politics.
T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us
by Carole HoovenThrough riveting personal stories and the latest research, Harvard evolutionary biologist Carole Hooven shows how testosterone drives the behavior of the sexes apart and how understanding the science behind this hormone is empowering for all.Since antiquity—from the eunuchs in the royal courts of ancient China to the booming market for “elixirs of youth” in nineteenth-century Europe—humans have understood that typically masculine behavior depends on testicles, the main source of testosterone in males. Which sex has the highest rates of physical violence, hunger for status, and desire for a high number of sex partners? Just follow the testosterone.Although we humans can study and reflect on our own behavior, we are also animals, the products of millions of years of evolution. Fascinating research on creatures from chimpanzees to spiny lizards shows how high testosterone helps males out-reproduce their competitors. And men are no exception.While most people agree that sex differences in human behavior exist, they disagree about the reasons. But the science is clear: testosterone is a potent force in human society, driving the bodies and behavior of the sexes apart. But, as Hooven shows in T, it does so in concert with genes and culture to produce a vast variety of male and female behavior. And, crucially, the fact that many sex differences are grounded in biology provides no support for restrictive gender norms or patriarchal values. In understanding testosterone, we better understand ourselves and one another—and how we might build a fairer, safer society.
TEDified Islam: Postsecular Storytelling in New Media
by Jasbeer Musthafa MamalipurathThis book represents one of the initial comprehensive studies of TED Talks on Islam. It situates TED Talks on Islam as postsecular (secular’s renewed interest in faith) discourse and asks how TED represents and narrates Islam. It also examines the perspectives of both Muslim and non-Muslim TED viewers about TED’s storytelling strategies as well as on the platform. Finally, the book studies the features of the authority that both Muslim and non-Muslim TED speakers embody as ‘spokespersons of Islam’. By doing so, this book offers an empirical and context-oriented understanding of postsecular storytelling by problematising the secular translations of Islam.

THE WORLD IS OUT OF JOINT (E): World-Historical Interpretations of Continuing Polarizations
by Immanuel WallersteinThe dominant view in social science has been that the modern world shows a pattern of linear development in which all positive social trends rise (albeit at an uncertain speed) toward a relatively homogenized world. In the post-1945 period, some analysts contested this linear model, arguing that the modern world was rather one of escalating polarization. Their view was strengthened by the separate emergence within the natural sciences of complexity studies, which suggested that natural systems inevitably moved away from equilibrium, and at a certain point bifurcated radically.This book, based on a truly collaborative international research project, evaluates the empirical evidence in this debate in order to (1) give an adequate portrayal of the historical realities of the world-system, (2) draw a nuanced assessment about this debate, and (3) provide the basis on which we can not only envisage probable future trends but also draw conclusions about the policy and/or political implications of past and future research.The work of ten research clusters, based on crucial topics of overlapping nodes of social activity, provides a vantage-point with which to assess the basic issue; a clear picture emerges of "world-historical interpretations of continuing polarizations."
THEE PSYCHICK BIBLE
by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge Jason Louv Carl AbrahamssonThee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) will be remembered for its crucial influence on youth culture throughout the 1980s, popularizing tattooing, body piercing, "acid house" raves, and other ahead-of-the-curve cultic flirtations and investigations.

According to author Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, "this is the most profound new manual on practical magick, taking it from its Crowleyan empowerment of the Individual to a next level of realization to evolve our species."

Tabletop RPG Design in Theory and Practice at the Forge, 2001–2012: Designs and Discussions (Palgrave Games in Context)
by William J. WhiteThis book provides an introduction to the Forge, an online discussion site for tabletop role-playing game (TRPG) design, play, and publication that was active during the first years of the twenty-first century and which served as an important locus for experimentation in game design and production during that time.

Tabus und Tabubrüche als Symptome gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse (Magdeburger Forschungen zu Bildungs-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften)
by Kristin Kuck Vanessa KanzDer Sammelband behandelt aus den Perspektiven der Kultur- und Gesellschaftswissenschaften das Phänomen Tabu und seine vielseitigen Ausprägungen schwerpunktmäßig in der zeitgenössischen europäischen Gesellschaft. Zwar entstammt das Konzept selbst den polynesischen Gesellschaften, die durch Seefahrer im 18. Jahrhundert entdeckt wurden, aber durch Missionsbewegungen in der Ferne, Romantisierungen in der Heimat und die europäische Aufklärung entwickelte sich ein ganz eigenes Tabukonzept in Europa, das bis heute starke sozial ordnende Effekte hat. Tabus legen fest, was von Mitgliedern einer Gruppe an Gedanken, Handlungen, Gefühlen und Themen zugelassen wird und was nicht, und gleichzeitig sind Tabubehauptungen und Tabubrüche auch Thematisierungsstrategien. Der Band folgt daher der These, dass Tabugrenzen nicht nur stetig ausgehandelt werden, sondern auch als soziale Konstrukte gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse wiederspiegeln. Enttabuisierungsbestrebungen, beispielsweise in Bezug auf psychische Krankheiten oder auf die Kommunikation von Gewalterfahrungen werden heutzutage oft mit Hochwertkonzepten wie Selbstbestimmung, Diversität und Gleichberechtigung legitimiert. Gleichzeitig verschärfen sich auch Tabugrenzen, wenn es z. B. um die Stigmatisierung von Diskriminierung geht. Veränderungen in den Tabugrenzen sind also nicht zufällig, sondern Ausdruck von gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen und Entwicklungen. Die Beiträge werfen aus den verschiedenen Perspektiven verschiedener kultur- und gesellschaftswissenschaftlicher Fächer Schlaglichter auf Forschungen, die mit Tabus umgehen und umgehen müssen. Sie geben so einen Einblick in aktuelle Aushandlungen zwischen dem Tabuisierten und dem Nicht-(Mehr)-Tabuisierten.
Tacit Engagement
by Satinder P. GillThis book explores how digital technology is altering the relationships between people and how the very nature of interface itself needs to be reconsidered to reflect this - how we can make sense of each other, handle ambiguities, negotiate differences, empathise and collectively make skilled judgments in our modern society. The author presents new directions for research at the relational-transactional intersection of contrasting disciplines of arts, science and technology, and in so doing, presents philosophical and artistic questions for future research on human connectivity in our digital age. The book presents frameworks and methods for conducting research and study of tacit engagement that includes ethnography, experiments, discourse analysis, gesture analysis, psycholinguistic analysis, artistic experiments, installations, and improvisation. Case studies illustrate the use of various methods and the application and emergence of frameworks. Tacit Engagement will be of interest to researchers, designers, teachers and students concerned with new media, social media and communications networks; interactive interfaces, including information systems, knowledge management, robotics, and presence technologies. Not since Michael Polanyi have we seen such wise science about the tacit: how we know more than we can tell. Gill brings to the present era of design and data a profoundly needed perspective on meaning that comes from social dialogue, skilled performance, relational gesture and rhythm. - Sha Xin Wei, Ph. D.

Tacit Racism
by Waverly Duck Anne Warfield RawlsWe need to talk about racism before it destroys our democracy. And that conversation needs to start with an acknowledgement that racism is coded into even the most ordinary interactions. Every time we interact with another human being, we unconsciously draw on a set of expectations to guide us through the encounter. What many of us in the United States—especially white people—do not recognize is that centuries of institutional racism have inescapably molded those expectations. This leads us to act with implicit biases that can shape everything from how we greet our neighbors to whether we take a second look at a resume. This is tacit racism, and it is one of the most pernicious threats to our nation. In Tacit Racism, Anne Warfield Rawls and Waverly Duck illustrate the many ways in which racism is coded into the everyday social expectations of Americans, in what they call Interaction Orders of Race. They argue that these interactions can produce racial inequality, whether the people involved are aware of it or not, and that by overlooking tacit racism in favor of the fiction of a “color-blind” nation, we are harming not only our society’s most disadvantaged—but endangering the society itself. Ultimately, by exposing this legacy of racism in ordinary social interactions, Rawls and Duck hope to stop us from merely pretending we are a democratic society and show us how we can truly become one.
Tackling Addiction
by Rowdy Yates Margaret S. MallochThe issue of 'recovery' has been increasingly prioritised by policymakers in recent years, but the meaning of the concept remains ambiguous. This edited collection brings together the thoughts and experiences of researchers, practitioners and service users from the fields of health, addiction and criminal justice and centres on current developments in addiction policy and practice. Tackling Addiction examines what recovery, addiction and dependence really mean, not only to the professional involved in rehabilitation but also to each individual client, and how 'coerced treatment' fails to take account of recovery as a long-term and ongoing process. Chapters cover the influence of crime and public health in UK drug policy; the ongoing emphasis on substitute prescribing; the role of recovery groups and communities; and gendered differences in the recovery process and implications for responses aimed at supporting women. Tackling Addiction will be essential reading for practitioners, researchers, policy makers and students in the fields of addiction, social care, psychology and criminal justice.
