Belonging, Citizenship and Muslim Identity: A British-French Comparison
by Stéphane HlaimiThis book explores belonging among Muslims in Britain and France, asking whether British and French Muslims are citizens first or Muslims first. Based on in-depth interviews with Muslims in both jurisdictions, it considers three options open to Muslims – assimilation, integration, or conflict – and considers the differences in approach that tend to prevail among Muslims in Britain and France, with British Muslims tending to favour a cohabitationist strategy, while many French Muslims adopt a more conflictual approach.With attention to issues of Islamophobia, the author examines the crises multiculturalism and secularism are facing, and argues for a more inclusive rhetoric on questions of Islam and citizenship, to counter the essentialist, ‘othering’ approach that characterises media coverage and public discourse.A call for a new paradigm of articulation between Muslim identity and Western citizenship, Belonging, Citizenship and Muslim Identity will be of interest to scholars of sociology, politics, geography and anthropology with interests in inclusion and diasporic communities.
Belonging, Gender and Identity in the Doctoral Years: Across Time and Space (Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education)
by Rachel HandforthThis book uses belonging as a lens through which to understand women students’ experiences of studying for a doctorate, exploring the impact of academic cultures on career aspirations. Drawing on discourses of neoliberalism and academic identities, it makes a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions of gender inequality in the academy. Based on data gathered from women doctoral students in the UK, this book offers a contemporary, research-informed understanding of the doctorate as an inherently gendered experience, which has implications for individuals, academic institutions, and for the future of the academic sector. The book will be of interest to academics working in the area of doctoral education, doctoral supervisors and those involved in doctoral student support, including researcher developers and individuals working in graduate schools, as well as doctoral students themselves.
Belonging, Identity, Time and Young People’s Engagement in the Middle Years of School
by Peter Kelly Seth Brown Scott K. PhillipsThis book explores the complex ways in which belonging, identity and time are entangled in shaping young people engagement with the middle years of school. The authors argue that these ‘entanglements’ need to be understood in ways that move beyond a focus on why individual young people engage with the middle years. Instead, there should be a focus on the socio-ecologies of particular places, and the ways in which these ecologies shape the possibilities of young people engaging productively in the middle years. Drawing on extensive qualitative data from an outer-urban metropolitan context, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, education and policy studies.

Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides
by Geoffrey L. CohenFinalist for The Next Big Idea Bookclub • Book of the Year Selection Behavioral Scientist and Greater Good Society “This is perhaps the richest book on belonging you’ll ever read.… The inspiration one draws from every page of this book is an enhanced sense of what is possible. It revives the very thing we need most in these times: hope.” —Claude M. Steele, author of Whistling Vivaldi Discover the secret to flourishing in an age of division: belonging. In a world filled with discord and loneliness, finding harmony and happiness can be difficult. But what if the key to unlocking our potential lies in this deceptively simple concept? Belonging is the feeling of being a part of a group that values, respects, and cares for us—a feeling that we can all cultivate in even the smallest corners of social life. In Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, Stanford University professor Geoffrey L. Cohen draws on his own and others’ groundbreaking scientific research to offer simple, concrete solutions for fostering a sense of belonging. These solutions can generate surprisingly significant and long-lasting benefits. Small but powerful actions can bolster belonging—actions such as encouraging people to reflect on their core values before they face a challenge or expressing belief in someone’s capacity to reach a higher standard. A wide range of innovative approaches have been found to boost achievement at work and at school, bridge political divides, reduce prejudice, and even contribute to overall health. Rigorously tested in diverse arenas—from classrooms to disadvantaged neighborhoods to iconic Silicon Valley companies—these methods offer a path forward in these demanding times. Belonging is a compelling read for all who yearn for a more connected world, whether you’re a manager or employee, an educator or student, a parent or caregiver, or simply someone seeking to make the most out of every moment you spend with others. Packed with actionable insights and specific strategies, this book offers hope and practical guidance, serving as both an inspiration and a roadmap to creating a world of inclusion, understanding, and empathy.
Below the Surface: Talking with Teens about Race, Ethnicity, and Identity
by Deborah Rivas-Drake Adriana Umaña-TaylorA guide to the latest research on how young people can develop positive ethnic-racial identities and strong interracial relationsToday’s young people are growing up in an increasingly ethnically and racially diverse society. How do we help them navigate this world productively, given some of the seemingly intractable conflicts we constantly hear about? In Below the Surface, Deborah Rivas-Drake and Adriana Umaña-Taylor explore the latest research in ethnic and racial identity and interracial relations among diverse youth in the United States. Drawing from multiple disciplines, including developmental psychology, social psychology, education, and sociology, the authors demonstrate that young people can have a strong ethnic-racial identity and still view other groups positively, and that in fact, possessing a solid ethnic-racial identity makes it possible to have a more genuine understanding of other groups.During adolescence, teens reexamine, redefine, and consolidate their ethnic-racial identities in the context of family, schools, peers, communities, and the media. The authors explore each of these areas and the ways that ideas of ethnicity and race are implicitly and explicitly taught. They provide convincing evidence that all young people—ethnic majority and minority alike—benefit from engaging in meaningful dialogues about race and ethnicity with caring adults in their lives, which help them build a better perspective about their identity and a foundation for engaging in positive relationships with those who are different from them.Timely and accessible, Below the Surface is an ideal resource for parents, teachers, educators, school administrators, clergy, and all who want to help young people navigate their growth and development successfully.
Benching Jim Crow: The Rise and Fall of the Color Line in Southern College Sports, 1890-1980 (Sport and Society)
by Charles H. MartinChronicling the uneven rise and slow decline of segregation in American college athletics, Charles H. Martin shows how southern colleges imposed their policies of racial exclusion on surprisingly compliant northern teams and explains the social forces that eventually forced these southern schools to accept integrated competition. Martin emphasizes not just the racism prevalent in football and basketball in the South, but the effects of this discrimination for colleges and universities all over the country. Southern teams such as the University of Alabama, University of Mississippi, and the University of North Carolina were obsessed with national recognition, but their Jim Crow policies prevented them for many years from playing against racially mixed teams from other parts of the country. Devoting special attention to the Southeastern Conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference, and teams in Texas, Martin explores the changing social attitudes and culture of competition that turned the tide and allowed for the recruitment of black players and hiring of black coaches. He takes a close look at the case of Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso), the first major white university in an ex-Confederate state to recruit African American athletes extensively. Martin skillfully weaves existing arguments and documentation on the integration of college sports with wide-ranging, original research, including previously unpublished papers and correspondence of college administrators and athletic directors uncovered in university archives.
Benchmark Tasks for Job Analysis: A Guide for Functional Job Analysis (fja) Scales (Applied Psychology Series)
by Sidney A. Fine Maury GetkateHuman resource practitioners are repeatedly faced with the challenge of effectively using language to clearly describe the work performed on a job. Functional Job Analysis--an internationally recognized and respected job analysis method --has been meeting this challenge for more than forty years. In this book, the authors show how human resource practitioners can use structured task statements and comprehensive rating scales to gain the perspective needed to map the domain of any job. In response to the demands of human resource practitioners, the book focuses on the seven scales used in Functional Job Analysis. More than 450 structured tasks were used to illustrate the breadth and scope of all the levels of these scales. These tasks can be used effectively as benchmarks to chart the work requirements of virtually any job. Personnel practitioners will find insights into the challenges of job analysis, as well as the tools needed to make job analysis more comprehensive, useful, and effective for human resources. Representing the most comprehensive information to date on the use of Functional Job Analysis scales for rating job tasks, this book: *addresses the problems of using language to clearly describe how work is performed on the job; *describes the relation between the need to carefully control the language of job analysis and the structure inherent in the Functional Job Analysis Worker Function scales--a conceptual link showing the reader that the key to understanding work is in the vocabulary used to describe work; *contains the most comprehensive treatment of the way to write clear and comprehensive task statements available in the job analysis literature; and *contains a sample task bank for the job of Functional Job Analysts--aiding the reader in understanding how a complete Functional Job Analysis should look.

Bending the Law of Unintended Consequences: A Test-Drive Method for Critical Decision-Making in Organizations
by Richard M. AdlerThis title provides managers, executives and other professionals with an innovative method for critical decision-making. The book explains the reasons for decision failures using the Law of Unintended Consequences. This account draws on the work of sociologist Robert K. Merton, psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, and economist Herbert Simon to identify two primary causes: cognitive biases and bounded rationality. It introduces an innovative method for “test driving” decisions that addresses both causes by combining scenario planning and “what-if” simulations. This method enables professionals to learn safely from virtual mistakes rather than real ones. It also provides four sample test drives of realistic critical decisions as well as two instructional videos to illustrate this new method. This book provides leaders and their support teams with important new tools for analyzing and refining complex decisions that are critical to organizational well-being and survival.

Benign Bigotry: The Psychology of Subtle Prejudice
by Kristin J. AndersonBenign Bigotry delves into the multifaceted landscape of prejudice, spanning academic and scientific research, popular culture, and contemporary politics. At its core lies the concept of subtle prejudice-a pervasive, often unconscious bias in race, gender, and sexuality. Through meticulous analysis and the author's own experience serving eight years on the Police Oversight Board, this book exposes seven seemingly harmless cultural myths that perpetuate inequality. It also confronts prejudices against women and LGBTQ+ individuals, offering concrete strategies to dismantle entrenched beliefs. Designed as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate classes, yet accessible to the educated lay reader, each chapter caters to those interested in psychology, sociology, business, and education. With a valuable new chapter on systemic inequality, updated real-life examples, and engaging with the exploration of empirical research on discrimination and prejudice emerging since 2009, this second edition is not to be missed.

Beratung als pädagogische Herausforderung in der Außerschulischen Jugendbildung: Eine Analyse am Beispiel des Freiwilligen Sozialen Jahres
by Caroline KruseBeratung in jugendpädagogischen Handlungsfeldern spielt in der Disziplin Erwachsenenbildung/ Außerschulische Jugendbildung (EB/AJB) eine weitestgehend vernachlässigte Rolle. Insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund des jugendtheoretischen Konsenses über eine Zunahme des Beratungsbedarfs von jungen Menschen beansprucht die Studie von Caroline Kruse, einen professionsorientierten Beitrag zur Profilierung von Beratung in der AJB zu leisten.Das im Rahmen ihrer Untersuchungen aufgenommene empirische Bild der Beratungspraxis im Freiwilligen Sozialen Jahr (FSJ) zeigt: Jugendbildungsreferent*innen werden vermehrt mit beraterischen Anforderungen konfrontiert und aus berufspraktischer Perspektive erfährt Beratung in diesem Handlungsfeld einen deutlichen Bedeutungszuwachs. Die Ergebnisse belegen weiter, dass das FSJ besondere förderliche Rahmenbedingungen aufweist, um auf die (zugenommene) Beratungsbedürftigkeit reagieren zu können. Gleichzeitig fehlt es an institutionellen Anerkennungs- und Unterstützungsformen. Beratung wird damit weitestgehend der individuellen Bereitschaft und des selbst zu verantwortenden Wissens und Könnens der Jugendbildungsreferent*innen überlassen.
Beratung in der Schulsozialarbeit: Clear-Box-Forschung zu wirkungsvollen Praxiselementen (Beiträge zur Sozialen Arbeit an Schulen #6)
by Florian BaierIn diesem Buch wird ein vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds (SNF) gefördertes Forschungsprojekt vorgestellt, in dem der Frage nachgegangen wurde, wie in Schulsozialarbeit und Jugendarbeit Wirkungen und Nutzen erzeugt werden. Das Projekt wurde als Clear-Box-Forschung konzipiert und in einer Kleinstadt in der Schweiz durchgeführt. Es wurden verschiedene qualitative und quantitative Methoden eingesetzt (Videographie, Interviews, Beobachtungen, standardisierte Befragungen). Die Ergebnisse des Projekts liefern Impulse auf drei Ebenen: erstens leisten sie einen Beitrag zur weiteren Professionalisierung der beiden Handlungsfelder, zweitens tragen die theoretischen Generalisierungen zu einem vertieften Verständnis von Schulsozialarbeit und Jugendarbeit bei und drittens werden forschungsmethodologische und erkenntnistheoretische Herausforderungen der Kombination verschiedener Erhebungsmethoden aufgezeigt.

Beratung zwischen Tür und Angel: Professionalisierung von Beratung in offenen Settings (Edition Professions- und Professionalisierungsforschung #5)
by Heino Hollstein-Brinkmann Maria KnabIn psychosozialen Feldern findet Beratung häufig in sogenannten offenen oder uneindeutigen Settings und in Übergangssituationen statt, oder anders formuliert: zwischen Tür und Angel. In vielen Bereichen der Sozialen Arbeit ist dies eine alltägliche Form der Interaktion, insbesondere dort, wo die Gestaltung alltagsnaher Kontexte eine Rolle spielt, beispielsweise im betreuten Wohnen, in der Familienhilfe oder in Tagesgruppen. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes untersuchen die Potenziale dieser speziellen Form von Beratung und thematisieren Reflexionsbedarfe von Ratsuchenden und BeraterInnen mit dem Ziel, ein spezifisches Beratungssetting der Sozialen Arbeit fachlich zu profilieren.
Berenice II Euergetis
by Branko F. van Oppen de RuiterBerenice II Euergetis (ca. 267-6-221 BCE), one of the better known Ptolemaic queens, remains fairly unknown outside specialist circles.

This collection of essays focuses on aspects of chronology, genealogy, and marital practices, as well as issues of royal ideology. The essays rely especially on literary evidence andart works in order to illuminate Berenice's status and position at the courts of Cyrene and Egypt. It offers new interpretations of the few known events of Berenice's life until the early reign of Ptolemy III, as well her influence and authority in Cyrene and Egypt.

Berkmann's Cricketing Miscellany
by Marcus BerkmannMarcus Berkmann, author of the cricket classics Rain Men and Zimmer Men, returns to the great game with this irresistible miscellany of cricketing trivia, stories and more fascinating facts than Geoffrey Boycott could shake a stick of rhubarb at. Which England captain smoked two million cigarettes in his lifetime? Which Australian captain, asked what his favourite animal was, said 'Merv Hughes'? What did Hitler think of cricket? Which National Hunt trainer had a dog called Sobers? Who was described in his obituary as 'perhaps the only unequivocally popular man in Yorkshire'?No other sport is so steeped in oddness and eccentricity. There's the only Test player ever to be executed for murder, the only first-class cricketer to die on the Titanic, and the only bestselling author to catch fire while playing at Lord's. (It was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The ball hit a box of matches in his pocket.) All cricket is here, including an XI entirely made up of players who share their names with freshwater fish.
Berkshire Beyond Buffett: The Enduring Value of Values (Columbia Business School Publishing)
by Lawrence CunninghamBerkshire Hathaway, the $300 billion conglomerate that Warren Buffett built, is among the world's largest and most famous corporations. Yet, for all its power and celebrity, few people understand Berkshire, and many assume it cannot survive without Buffett. This book proves them wrong. In a comprehensive portrait of the corporate culture that unites Berkshire's subsidiaries, Lawrence A. Cunningham unearths the traits that assure the conglomerate's continued prosperity. Riveting stories of each subsidiary's origins, triumphs, and journey to Berkshire reveal how managers generate economic value from intangibles like thrift, integrity, entrepreneurship, autonomy, and a sense of permanence. Rich with lessons for those wishing to profit from the Berkshire model, this engaging book is a valuable read for entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, family business members, and investors, and it is an important resource for scholars of corporate stewardship. General readers will enjoy learning how an iconoclastic businessman transformed a struggling textile company into a corporate legacy.
