Educative Leadership

Educative Leadership

R.J.S. Macpherson

Routledge Falmer
1992
nidottu
Responding to the international problem identified by the US National Commission on Excellence in Educational Administration, that the field of educational leadership lacks a "good definition", this book reports a collaboration process that produced a practical theory of educative leadership. In offering a holistic theory which deals with the abstract world of ideas and reflection, this volume shows how these ideas are translated into management practice and what happens, or what is likely to happen in such a process. The theory integrates management and evaluation with the philosophical, strategic, political and inspirational services that educative leaders give. It is aimed at lecturers in education administration/management, headteachers, MEd lecturers and students, leadership and management lecturers and students.
Impostress

Impostress

R.J. Clarke

The History Press Ltd
2019
nidottu
"Her story is adapted to move the compassion of those she visits. She has bad nerves, and seems in great disorder of mind, which she pretends to be owing to the ill usage of her father […] She attempts to borrow money of [sic] waiters, servants, and chaise boys, and offers to leave something in pawn with them to the value. Her name is supposed to be Sarah Wilson." - London Evening-Post, 30 October 1766Beginning in her late teens, Sarah Wilson travelled alone all over England, living on her wits, inventing new identities, and embroidering stories to fool her victims into providing money and fine clothes. When her crimes eventually caught up with her, she was transported to America – where she reinvented herself in the guise of the Queen’s sister and began a new set of adventures at the onset of the American War of Independence. Using original research, newspaper reports and court records, this is the story of ‘the greatest Impostress of the present Age’: a real-life Moll Flanders who created a remarkable series of lives for herself on both sides of the Atlantic.
Curiosity and Wonder from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment
'Curiosity' and 'wonder' are topics of increasing interest and importance to Renaissance and Enlightenment historians. Conspicuous in a host of disciplines from history of science and technology to history of art, literature, and society, both have assumed a prominent place in studies of the Early Modern period. This volume brings together an international group of scholars to investigate the various manifestations of, and relationships between, 'curiosity' and 'wonder' from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Focused case studies on texts, objects and individuals explore the multifaceted natures of these themes, highlighting the intense fascination and continuing scrutiny to which each has been subjected over three centuries. From instances of curiosity in New World exploration to the natural wonders of 18th-century Italy, Curiosity and Wonder from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment locates its subjects in a broad geographical and disciplinary terrain. Taken together, the essays presented here construct a detailed picture of two complex themes, demonstrating the extent to which both have been transformed and reconstituted, often with dramatic results.

In September 1998, Julian Everet is walking on the cliffs of Dover when a discarded newspaper brushes his leg. The face on the front page is that of Kathleen Mccullagh and it brings back memories of 1968, of love, obsession, jealousy and death. Initially, Julian is stunned by a wave of guilt but before he can grab the paper, it blows away in the wind. He plays with the idea of running away but curiosity drives him to discover why his first love is in the news again after thirty years.

Greek and Hellenic Culture in Joyce

Greek and Hellenic Culture in Joyce

R.J. Schork; Zack Bowen

University Press of Florida
1998
sidottu
Classical allusion in James Joyce's work is staggering - despite the fact that he knew no ancient Greek and had only a minimal grasp of its modern form. This book by R.J. Schork comprehensively examines the essential contributions of Greek language, literature, history and mythology to the structure and comic aspects of Joyce's fiction. Like Schork's earlier companion book (the study of Roman culture and Joyce), this work contains the same attention to philological detail, literary nuance and cross-referencing of sources. And again, the overriding critical emphasis is on the culture and language of ancient Hellas as an essential component of Joyce's genius. Schork's double expertise - classical and Joycean - reveals new dimensions in the allusive archaeology of the texts, especially in the puzzling verbal strata of ""Finnegan's Wake"". Throughout, Schork keeps his focus on Joyce, writing in an uncomplicated, lively style, translating everything, giving the entire context of the allusions, taking nothing for granted in terms of classical background. And, finally, concluding that Joyce's manipulation of the classics in general and Greek in particular was primarily for comic and/or scatological purposes.
Get Yo' Life

Get Yo' Life

R J Millhouse

OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025
sidottu
In Get Yo' Life, R. J. Millhouse incorporates gender and sexuality studies, archival work, performance studies, and urban studies to craft a historical geography of Black queer public life and culture from the 1960s onward. He does so via case studies of two Brooklyn nightclubs, Langston's and Happiness Lounge, as patrons fought to preserve their spaces and community in the face of gentrification. Introducing Black queer spatiality as an analytic method and a type of intersectionality-driven memory work, Millhouse teases out the nuanced functions of care-work, performance, and kinship labor, along with attendant sensational, atmospheric, and nostalgic factors, as they inform Black queer placemaking practices. These practices--such as resource fairs, vogue competitions, and the appropriation of public parks as communal places--often face opposition from the police or well-to-do, mostly white, neighbors. Yet, they remain vital sites of Black queer agency. By focusing on the structural powers that condition the lives and placemaking and placekeeping strategies of Black queer people in Brooklyn, Millhouse reveals the ways in which people make and preserve place amid state-sanctioned displacement.

Africa's Urban Past

Africa's Urban Past

R.J.A.R. Rathbone

James Currey
2000
pokkari
Urbanization has been an important feature of Africa's history for over 2000 years. Towns and cities have been arenas around which societies have organized themselves: as centres of trade and economic activity; as foci of political action and authority; as military garrisons; as sites of ritual power; and as places of refuge and collective security in troubled times. This collection reveals the depth of urbanization in African history.
