Open Mic Night Campus Programs That Champion College Student Voice and Engagement

Open Mic Night Campus Programs That Champion College Student Voice and Engagement

WINNER OF 2018 AERA DIVISION B OUTSTANDING BOOK AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING EDITED COLLECTION IN CURRICULUM STUDIESWhile campuses across the United States have been offering spoken word programs for over 20 years little attention has been paid to their purpose and impact beyond their contribution to the campus social aesthetic. There is an increasing understanding that performance poetry and spoken word is much more than entertainment. Within disciplines such as English Ethnic Women’s and Cultural Studies scholarship has identified spoken word’s role in developing political agency among young adults; its utility for promoting authentic youth voice; and its importance as a tool of cultural engagement. This book – compiled by scholar artists including internationally recognized spoken word performers – offers guidance to student affairs professionals on using spoken word as a tool for college student engagement activism and civic awareness. It makes the case that campus event spaces need to transcend their association with the theatre or art departments to provide a venue where students are allowed to be different and find opportunities for personal and intellectual development and civic engagement. Open mic nights offer college students a way to speak out advocate lead educate and explore with their peers. This book presents a mix of critical essays and college student writing that explore themes of spoken word student engagement and campus inclusion and address these key topics:• Spoken word as an educational civic engagement and personal development tool (particularly among traditionally marginalized communities)• The links between spoken word and social activism (art as social action; art as a form of civic leadership)• The importance of privileging student voice in student affairs programming (even when they yell; even when they’re angry)• The challenges that come with engaging students in exploring intersecting concepts like race gender and class• Considerations for creative and intentional spoken word programming (What does a creative program look like?) • Scaling up for sustainability (through student affairs/academic affairs partnerships study abroad collaborations etc. ). | Open Mic Night Campus Programs That Champion College Student Voice and Engagement

An Analysis of Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto Science Technology and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century

An Analysis of Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto Science Technology and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century

Haraway’s ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’ is a key postmodern text and is widely taught in many disciplines as one of the first texts to embrace technology from a leftist and feminist perspective using the metaphor of the cyborg to champion socialist postmodern and anti-identitarian politics. Until Haraway’s work few feminists had turned to theorizing science and technology and thus her work quite literally changed the terms of the debate. This article continues to be seen as hugely influential in the field of feminism particularly postmodern materialist and scientific strands. It is also a precursor to cyberfeminism and posthumanism and perhaps anticipates the development of digital humanities. | An Analysis of Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto Science Technology and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century

Confucian Philosophy for Contemporary Education

Confucian Philosophy for Contemporary Education

Most people would not associate Confucian philosophy with contemporary education. After all the former is an ancient Chinese tradition and the latter is a modern phenomenon. But this book shows otherwise by explaining how millennia-old Confucian ideas and practices can inform inspire and improve school administration teaching and learning today. Drawing upon major Confucian texts such as the Analects and Mencius as well as influential thinkers such as Confucius Zhu Xi and Empress Xu the various chapters address current educational issues and challenges such as the following: • What roles do schools play in fighting the coronavirus pandemic? • How can humanity resolve the climate emergency? • What (more) should school leaders do to promote education for girls? • Is there more to lifelong learning than just skills upgrading? • What is missing in the existing frameworks on 21st century competencies? • What new initiatives are needed to champion sustainable development? Confucian Philosophy for Contemporary Education answers the above questions and more by presenting a Confucian model of education. The author proposes a Confucian school where Dao – a shared vision of human excellence – is realised through a mindful learning-centred action-oriented and ultimately humanising form of education. This book is a useful resource for academic researchers educators students and general readers on Confucian philosophy and its continual relevance for present-day education.

Leibniz

Leibniz

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) was hailed by Bertrand Russell as ‘one of the supreme intellects of all time’. A towering figure in seventeenth-century philosophy he was the author of a complex system of thought that has been championed and satirized in equal measure most famously in Voltaire’s Candide. In this outstanding introduction to his philosophy Nicholas Jolley examines and assesses the whole of Leibniz’s philosophy. Beginning with an account of Leibniz’s life and work he carefully explains the core elements of Leibniz’s metaphysics: his theories of substance identity and individuation; his doctrine of monads; and his important debate over the nature of space and time with Newton’s champion Samuel Clarke. He then introduces Leibniz’s theories of mind knowledge and innate ideas showing how Leibniz anticipated the distinction between conscious and unconscious states before examining his doctrine of free will and his solution to the problem of evil. An important feature of the book is its survey of Leibniz’s moral and political philosophy an overlooked aspect of his work. The final chapter assesses Leibniz’s legacy and the impact of his philosophy on philosophy as a whole particularly on the work of Immanuel Kant. Throughout Jolley places Leibniz in relation to some of the other great philosophers such as Descartes Spinoza and Locke and discusses Leibniz’s key works such as the Monadology and Discourse on Metaphysics. This second edition has been revised throughout and includes a new chapter on Leibniz and philosophy of language.

Edmund Campion A Scholarly Life

Edmund Campion A Scholarly Life

Edmund Campion: A Scholarly Life is the response at long last to Evelyn Waugh’s call in 1935 for a ’scholarly biography’ to replace Richard Simpson's Edmund Campion (1867). Whereas early accounts of his life focused on the execution of the Jesuit priest this new biography presents a more balanced assessment placing equal weight on Campion’s London upbringing among printers and preachers and on his growing stature as an orator in an Oxford riven with religious divisions. Ireland chosen by Campion as a haven from religious conflict is shown paradoxically to have determined his life and his death. Gerard Kilroy here draws on newly discovered manuscript sources to reveal Campion as a charismatic and affectionate scholar who was finding fulfilment as priest and teacher in Prague when he was summoned to lead the first Jesuit mission to England. The book argues that the delays in his long journey suggest reluctant acceptance even before he was told that Dr Nicholas Sander had brought ’holy war’ to Ireland so that Campion landed in an England that was preparing for papal invasion. The book offers fresh insights into the dramatic search for Campion the populist nature of the disputations in the Tower and the legal issues raised by his torture. It was the monarchical republic itself that in pursuit of the Anjou marriage made him the beloved ’champion’ of the English Catholic community. Edmund Campion: A Scholarly Life presents the most detailed and comprehensive picture to date of an historical figure whose loyalty and courage in the trial and on the scaffold swiftly became legendary across Europe. | Edmund Campion A Scholarly Life

The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

Paleoconservatism as a concept came into circulation during the 1980s as a rejoinder to the rise of neoconservatism. It signifies a brand of conservatism that rose up in opposition to the New Deal setting itself against the centralizing trends that define modern politics to champion the republican virtues of self-governance and celebrate the nation's varied and colorful regional cultures. This volume brings together key writings of the major representatives of Old Right thought past and present. The essays included here define a coherent intellectual tradition linking New York libertarians to unreconstructed Southern traditionalists to Midwestern agrarians. Part I is devoted to the founding fathers of the modern conservative movement. Essays by Frank Chodorov Murray Rothbard and James Burnham attack economic aspects of the New Deal big government in general and high taxes. Russell Kirk introduces the cultural paleoconservatism with its preference for social classes and distinctions of age and sex while Richard Weaver explains why culture is more important to a civilization's survival than mere material conditions. The second part covers the contemporary resurgence of the Old Right. Chilton Williamson Jr. sets out the argument against large-scale immigration on cultural and economic grounds. The divisive issue of trade is covered. William Hawkins outlines a mercantilist trade policy at odds with the free trade libertarianism of Chodorov and Rothbard. On education Allan Carlson goes further than the Beltway Right in his advocacy of home schooling. M. E. Bradford shows how the doctrine of equality of opportunity inevitably leads to greater and more tyrannical state action. The contemporary culture wars are the focus of Thomas Fleming Paul Gottfried Clyde Wilson and Samuel Francis who search for the roots of American nationalism the lessons to be drawn from the past and how they may be applied in the future. | The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

Empiricism and the Metatheory of the Social Sciences

Empiricism and the Metatheory of the Social Sciences

A picture has indeed held modern Western philosophy captive that of the universe as a vast machine whose iron laws are best understood as exceptionless empirical regularities which as it were determine the future before it happens. This fantastic conception commands the assent not just of positivistically-minded naturalists but of all the great anti-naturalists who champion a very different view of human action as a domain of freedom ‘that somehow cheats science’. The most fundamental move in Roy Bhaskar’s system of philosophy the germ of everything that followed was to reconceptualise the natural world in transcendental realist terms ‘turning Kant around using his own method’. On this account the universe is characterized by deep structures mechanisms and fields that generate the flux of phenomena and is in open creative and emergent process. This completely recasts the terms of the debate between naturalism and anti-naturalism by remedying its false grounds and shows how philosophy can be liberated from its anthropocentric/anthropomorphic prison and rendered consistent with the best insights of modern natural science. There is necessity in nature quite independent of humans but in an open world causation is multiple and conjunctural the actual course of the unfolding of being is highly contingent and the bases of human freedom can be understood scientifically. Written as a DPhil thesis when Bhaskar was in his mid-twenties Empiricism and the Metatheory of the Social Sciences brilliantly launches this reconceptualisation and explores its implications for social science in the course of carrying through the metatheoretical destruction of empiricism. It will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in the development of Bhaskar’s thought in transcendental realism and in the critique of empiricism more generally of the philosophical discourse of Western modernity.

Environmental Governance

Environmental Governance

Climate change is prompting an unprecedented questioning of the fundamental bases upon which society is founded. Businesses claim that technology can save the environment while politicians champion the role of international environmental agreements to secure global action.

The Discovery of the Self A Study in Psychological Cure

The Discovery of the Self A Study in Psychological Cure

Elizabeth Severn known as R. N. in Sandor Ferenczi’s Clinical Diary was Ferenczi’s analysand for eight years the patient with whom he conducted his controversial experiment in mutual analysis and a psychoanalyst in her own right who had a transformative influence on his work. The Discovery of the Self is the distillation of that experience and allows us to hear the voice of one of the most important patients in the history of psychoanalysis. However Freud branded Severn Ferenczi’s evil genius and her name does not appear in Ernest Jones’s biography so she has remained largely unknown until now. This book is a reissue of Severn’s landmark work of 1933 together with an introduction by Peter L. Rudnytsky that sets out the unrecognized importance of her thinking both for the development of psychoanalysis and for contemporary theory. Inspired by the realization that Severn has embedded disguised case histories both of herself and of Ferenczi as well as of her daughter Margaret Rudnytsky shows how The Discovery of the Self contains the other side of the story of mutual analysis and is thus an indispensable companion volume to the Clinical Diary. A full partner in Ferenczi’s rehabilitation of trauma theory and champion of the view that the analyst must participate in the patient’s reliving of past experiences Severn emerges as the most profound conduit for Ferenczi’s legacy in the United States if not in the entire world. Lacking any institutional credentials and once completely marginalized Elizabeth Severn can at long last be given her due as a formidable psychoanalyst. Newly available for the first time in more than eighty years The Discovery of the Self is simultaneously an engaging introduction to psychotherapy that will appeal to general readers as well as a sophisticated text to be savored by psychoanalytic scholars and clinicians as a prequel to the works of Heinz Kohut and a neglected classic of relational psychoanalysis. | The Discovery of the Self A Study in Psychological Cure
