Education Censorship: Elite Capture of the Public Educational System
by Brandon D. MitchellThis book encompasses a historical approach to understanding the trends of education censorship. The author examines how we got here, exploring network influences, the inextricable role of the mainstream media in manufacturing social and political divides, the policy impact of censorship, and the implications on schools and youth development. Analysis includes the legislative efforts to undermine Critical Race Theory, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Social-Emotional Learning, as well as the trends to restrict youth rights, including trans and gender-expansive rights related to gender-affirming care, sports bans, and restroom bans. Subsequent chapters provide an overview of the educational system, trends of neoliberalism, standards-based movement, inequities, punitive disciplinary systems – contextualized by the strengths and limitations of the progressive reform movement. Weaving together the effects of the neoliberal education movement, the relationship to education censorship, and the unique connections to political polarization – can help to re-orient us toward solutions, unity, and healing.
Sustainability, Care, Play and the Zone of Proximal Development: A Developmental Perspective on Childhood (Perspectives in Cultural-Historical Research #15)
by Marilyn Fleer Mariane Hedegaard Ditte Winther-Lindqvist Louise BøttcherThis book addresses the central issue of children’s social situation of development in relation to sustainability, care and imagination. The concept of sustainability is topical in current societal discussions, but much in need of further elaboration, which is provided by this book as an integrated aspect of childcare and child development. It provides an exploration of whether and how sustainability can contribute relevantly to conceptual development within the cultural-historical framework with relation to child development more broadly and care and imagination more specifically. A central question in the book is how the concept of sustainability is related to Vygotsky’s writings on the zone of proximal development and the social situation of development. It takes on the current need to understand the problem of creating more sustainable societies and practices as interconnected practices for supporting the development of children as present and future sustainability-responsible citizens. This book provides a much needed theoretical elaboration of child care as a scientific concept, the practice context of care, and a wholistic conceptual approach to care.

In doing so, this book enriches the moral realism debate with the scientific realism debate and is of great value to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of science.
Emerging Contaminants in Water (Emerging Contaminants and Associated Treatment Technologies)
by Manoj Kumar Jindal Bhumika Das Parul BaranwalThis book provides comprehensive information on emerging contaminants in water, their sources, detection techniques, ecological and health impacts, and sustainable mitigation strategies. It emphasizes the urgent need for research and global collaboration to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources. These emerging contaminants include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), microplastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, industrial and household products, metals, surfactants, industrial additives, radioactive elements and many more which pose potential risks to ecosystems and human health. While extensive research has explored their individual effects, there remains a critical gap in understanding their combined ecological impacts. Recent research underscores various contaminants' harmful effects, prompting efforts to develop new and more efficient removal techniques. While methods like adsorption and filtration show promise, biological methods offer a promising alternative with greater degradation efficiency. This book comprises all such information related to emerging contaminants in water systems and what could be the next step to mitigate their harmful impact in a sustainable manner. The book is structured into seven parts, covering the classification, sources, detection techniques, occurrence, ecological and health effects, and fate of key contaminants like microplastics and PFAS in aquatic ecosystems. It also explores mitigation strategies, including setting safe thresholds and implementing sustainable removal approaches. Through an in-depth review of current research and future directions, this book serves as a valuable resource for scientists, policymakers, and environmental professionals working toward mitigating the harmful impact of emerging contaminants on water systems.

The Great Psychology Delusion: Missteps, Pitfalls and How to Make a More Successful Psychological Science
by Craig Speelman Marek McGannThe Great Psychology Delusion takes an unflinching look at some of the foundational assumptions of psychological science. Exploring long-standing unanswered critiques of psychological research in a way that is detailed but accessible, the book brings together a wealth of material that challenges our understanding of what the science of psychology really is, and how the subject matter of that science should be conceived.Identifying a Great Delusion (that there is a coherent discipline of psychology with sound foundations), the authors explore a number of more specific delusions regarding scientific practice in psychology. These include the problematic assumptions of core statistical analyses, questionable aspects of frequently used experimental designs and continued frictions regarding the much-aspired-to scientist-practitioner model. The delusions produce the uncomfortable state in which we find much of modern psychological science – theoretically challenged, poorly replicated and with questionable real-world value.This unsentimental examination of the state of things nevertheless allows the authors to identify concrete steps that the scientific community can take to re-ground psychological research and move forward to a successful science studying the richest and most complex phenomena we know of: us.This book will interest all people interested in psychological science, from undergraduate students to researchers.
Narratives of Transformative Reconciliation: Exploring Contours of Happiness (Social Movements and Transformative Dissent)
by Gopi Devdutt Tripathy Anurita JalanThis book looks at ethnographies of survival, reconciliation, and resilience in communities and individuals. It interrogates the definition of happiness, hope and despair and explores how communities and individuals navigate life when besieged by trauma and the processes they must go through to enable healing.Devastations caused by violence force people to look for ways to deal with seemingly irreconcilable life circumstances. Sometimes these efforts are individual and sometimes collective. People draw on a variety of resources, such as religion, culture, family and kinship networks, friends, literature, storytelling, art, theatre, and counselling to come to grips with their circumstances. This volume discusses such efforts through a multidisciplinary lens. It looks at ethnographic accounts of communities and individuals that showcase methods used to renegotiate, reconfigure the pain and to enable a life of dignity, healing and social transformation. It also looks at violence, memory, trauma, dislocation through different prisms.Part of the Social Movements and Transformative Dissent series, this book will be of interest to students, academicians, activists, and all those engaged with the study of trauma studies, mental health, philosophy of psychology, behavioural sciences, philosophy, humanities, clinical psychology, gender and peace and conflict studies.
Apartheid and Fragmented Protest in Contemporary Southern Africa: Life Goes On (Routledge Contemporary Africa)
by Cuthbeth TagwireiApartheid and Fragmented Protest in Contemporary Southern Africa examines protest movements through the lens of Apartheid Studies, the first general theory of apartheid which explores how oppression, harm, injustice, poverty, loss, and inequality persist.The book argues that apartheid, which breaks the world of the oppressed into fragments, fomenting diverse experiences of oppression among its victims, frames the nature and course of protests by making them subject to its fragmentation. Protest is thus redefined as good neighbourly and demoted on account of its symbiotic relationship to apartheid. It is observed that the proliferation of protests does not preclude the persistence of apartheid. Rather, protest and apartheid are seen to be compatible. By examining protest hashtags on X from South Africa and Zimbabwe, the book explores and identifies the forms, relations, meanings, trajectories, and effects protests take, evoke, and embody as fragments subsisting in a fractured apartheid universe. It demonstrates how and why life goes on amidst protest, sheds light on the contradictions, paradoxes and complexities that characterise protest movements and invites conversations around protest as a paradigm in the context of apartheid.The book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of social movements, protests, sociology, African Studies, and communication and media studies.
Matrixial Breath: Aesthetically Respiring into the Trauma of the Present (Routledge Critical Perspectives on Breath and Breathing)
by Christoph Solstreif-PirkerDay by day, the global climate crisis intensifies, yet there are little changes in the behavior of privileged societies. This book reveals that such paradoxical behavior is due to the prevalence of a narrative that considers planet Earth as a self-sustaining system, driven by a circular respiration pattern from one actor to the next. It argues that transforming this prevailing planetary breathing pattern is necessary to change humans’ destructive behavior towards the morethan- human environment. The volume, in particular, references the feminine Matrixial Theory of psychoanalyst and philosopher Bracha L. Ettinger. In linking the Matrixial Theory to environmental issues for the first time, it explores the rhythms and scopes of a Matrixial breath and what alternative forms of relationship between humans and nature might emerge from it. It lays the foundation for an urgently needed subversion of thought and action toward novel ethics of breathing-with beyond homeostatic reductionism.The first of its kind, this volume will be indispensable for students and researchers of environmental ethics, feminist thought, climate studies, social change, or critical theory. It will also be useful to cultural scientists, artists, philosophers, ecologists, theologians, architects, therapists, social workers, educators, and politicians.
The Special Status of Muhammad: Shihab al-Din al-Qastallani’s The Divine Bounties (Routledge Sufi Series)
by Sigalit ChachamThis book examines the special status of the Prophet Muḥammad, as described by the Cairene Sufi mystic Shihāb al-Dīn al-Qasṭallānī (d. 1517). It examines spiritual, material, and theological aspects of love for the Prophet as expressed in his al-Mawāhib al-laduniyya bil-minaḥ al-muḥammadiyya (“The Divine Bounties [Granted] Through the Gifts of Muḥammad”).Discussing an unknown layer in the religious literature written in the late Mamluk period, the author explores the vast intellectual legacy of a scholar hitherto ignored. Using intertextuality, the book delves into his complex insights and relationships with contemporaries and scholars in the post-classical period, as well as locating him within the debates and developments of post-classical Islamic theory and theology. This study joins previous ones arguing that literary activity within the Mamluk sultanate was vibrant and dynamic.Offering valuable insights, this work will be of interest to researchers and scholars of Middle East History, Mysticism, Sufi Studies, Religion, Islam and Theology.

Vaterunser-Parodien in Kontinuität und Wandel: Theologische und kulturwissenschaftliche Analysen (pop.religion: lebensstil – kultur – theologie)
by Anne BrecknerIn diesem Open-Access-Buch werden anhand von Detailanalysen von Vaterunser-Parodien deren Relevanz für die Theologie als auch für die Gesellschaft im Verlauf der Jahrhunderte dargestellt, diskutiert und bewertet. Vaterunser-Parodien sind eine vielfältige Textgruppe, die seit dem Mittelalter bis in das 21. Jahrhundert häufig auftreten. Sie sind ein Ausdruck der populär-kulturellen Rezeption des Vaterunsers, eines der elementarsten und bekanntesten Gebete des Christentums. Die darin angesprochenen Themen zeigen u. a. die Verknüpfung von Politik und Religion, kommerziellen Interessen und Gemeinschaftsritualen, konfessionellen Gebetstraditionen und deren Transformation durch Humor und Verfremdung. Konkret werden Vaterunser-Parodien exemplarisch beleuchtet, die Sucht- und Genussmittel wie Alkohol und Kaffee oder die Freizeitbeschäftigung Fußball thematisieren, die Herrschaftskritik am Papst oder politischen Machthabern wie dem Kurfürsten von Sachsen oder Napoleon als Besatzer üben und die religiöse Bildung und daraus resultierende Kirchenkritik oder den Mangel religiöser Sprachfähigkeit offenlegen.
Sustainability and Community-Based Organizations: Cross-Cultural Cases (Palgrave Studies in Sustainable Business In Association with Future Earth)
by Tamás VeressThis book describes how community-based organizations prioritize stakeholders&’ access to basic needs, autonomy, and capabilities development. Through analysis of nineteen organizations across multiple sectors, including food, energy, healthcare, mobility, housing, and finance, the research highlights key organizational characteristics enabling this: primarily, ethical coordination and the ethos of prosociality, the genuine involvement of those most concerned, multidimensional goal and value systems, and practices of sharing, resource pooling and sufficiency. The book argues that meeting everyone's basic needs with far lower resource and energy use than contemporary unsustainable arrangements, which drives limitless and unequal material growth, is possible and is foremost not a technological production challenge. Instead, sustainability efforts should be directed towards collective action. The community-based organizations in this study offer real-life cases of social arrangements protecting and nurturing the primacy of needs fulfillment against ideas and practices of limitless growth and ungeneralizable excess. Combining theoretical framing with empirical case studies, this book will be of great interest to students, researchers, activists, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with sustainability. It offers actionable insights for transforming production-consumption systems to support human and ecological well-being.

Handbook of Teaching and Learning Persian as a Second Language (Springer Handbooks in Languages and Linguistics)
by Hooman SaeliThis collection explores relevant pedagogical and sociolinguistic topics in the teaching and learning of Persian as a foreign and second language. Owing to the dearth of research in many areas pertaining to the teaching and learning of Persian, this handbook provides empirically-supported insights into various aspects of these areas. While the literature on teaching and learning Persian is growing, the field lacks a cohesive collection on Persian as a foreign/second language. The book addresses issues pertaining to the standardization and validation of teaching and assessment methods, which remain under-explored in the contexts of teaching and learning Persian. It also covers the teaching of Persian pragmatics, the use of corpora, as well as a range of different areas within linguistics, including phonetics, prosody, and historical linguistics. This comprehensive collection contributes substantially to the scientific study of many aspects of teaching and learning Persian which have been neglected for decades. A must-have text in Persian language pedagogy and Persian sociolinguistics, it an essential book for those in teaching and learning in Persian language programs worldwide.
