Values in Conflict

Values in Conflict

Phyllis O'Callaghan

University Press of America
1997
nidottu
Relatively new and increasingly popular in higher education are interdisciplinary programs that address questions of values. Both these elements characterize Graduate Liberal Studies Programs offering a Master's degree in liberal arts. Because the degree does not confine itself to the canons of a particular discipline and students enter this program with a variety of backgrounds, this book introduces the ways of learning, reading and writing that go on in the various liberal arts (history, philosophy, literature, art, etc.). A student does not read a poem in the same way he or she reads a Medieval Chronicle; why the difference? And how can we in some way synthesize these various approaches to knowledge and bring them all to bear on a subject, an issue, a question? This book tackles these and other challenges in graduate liberal education including the role of technology and the increase in multicultural, interdiscliplinary research, offering essays that discuss these changes with pragmatic recommendations. Contents: Humanities: Reading Theology, John F. Haught; Philosophy as a Mode of Liberal Learning, Jesse Mann; Teaching Literature in a Liberal Studies Program, Michael J. Collins; Seeing Art as Cultural Inquiry, Diane Apostolos-Cappadona; Understanding History, Phyllis O'Callaghan. Science, Technology and Social Science: Science, Technology, and Society, Thomas P. McManus; Understanding Interrelatedness in the Social Sciences, Elizabeth James; Liberal Studies Education in the Information Age, Deborah Everhart; Locating the Self in a Universe of Values: Triangulation, Liberal Studies, and Sociology, William F. McDonald. Values Issues: The Disclipline of Dialogue, Francis Ambrosio; Multiculturalism and American History, Ronald Johnson; The Information Explosion and the Quest for Knowledge, Chester Gillis. Liberal Studies: The Scholar and Students: Research and Liberal Learning, Richard B. Schwartz; The Wisdom of Merlyn, Mary Anne Grant. Index. Contributors.

Montessori Comes to America

Montessori Comes to America

Phyllis Povell

University Press of America
2009
nidottu
What role did women's leadership play in the introduction and revival of the Montessori Method in America? Phyllis Povell explores this question through the contributions of Maria Montessori and Nancy McCormick Rambusch, who brought the Montessori Method to the American educational scene. Introduced to the U. S. in the early 20th century by Montessori herself, the Method lapsed into oblivion after WWI. Thanks to Rambusch, it was reborn after the launching of Sputnik. In Montessori Comes to America, Povell traces the evolution of women's leadership and its influence on the Montessori Method's development. She includes insights from her own formative years, showing how childhood, education and career all shape women into leaders. New research not only illuminates the unique roles of two historic early childhood educators, but also updates the historical record and reveals the human dimension behind one of the most colorful chapters in American educational development.

The Art of Carmen Cicero

The Art of Carmen Cicero

Phyllis Braff

Schiffer Publishing Ltd
2013
sidottu
From the very beginning, Carmen Cicero made an impression in the art world. He joined the acclaimed Periodot Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York in 1957 and by 1965, Cicero had won two Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowships and a Ford Foundation prize, and was in important exhibitions at such venues as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. After a fire destroyed his studio and a large body of his work in 1971, Cicero returned to figurative expressionism in the later 1970s before embarking on a new approach to his work in the late 1980s: A kind of expression difficult to define and variously termed by critics as "fantasy," "mystery," "surrealism" and "visionary." These works produce a peculiar atmosphere, a strange, enigmatic spell—images that linger in the unconscious mind. Filled with beautiful pieces—watercolors, paintings, drawings, and collages—this fine book offers an expansive survey of the life work of Carmen Cicero.

Serving the Present Age

Serving the Present Age

Phyllis D. Airhart

McGill-Queen's University Press
1992
sidottu
Essential to Methodist revivalism was the personal conversion experience, which constituted the basis of salvation and church membership. Revivalism, maintains Airhart, was a distinctive form of piety and socialization that was critical in helping Methodists define who they were, colouring their understanding of how religion was to be experienced, practised, articulated, and cultivated. This revivalist piety, even more than doctrine or policy, was the identifying mark of Methodism in the nineteenth century. But, during the late Victorian era, the Methodist presentation of the religious life underwent a transformation. By 1925, when the Methodist Church was incorporated into the United Church of Canada, its most prominent leaders were espousing an approach to piety that was essentially, and sometimes explicitly, non-revivalist. The Methodist approach to personal religion changed during this transition and, significantly, Methodists increasingly became identified with social Christianity -- although experience remained a key aspect of their theology. There was also a growing tendency to associate revivalism with fundamentalism, a new religious development that used the Methodist language of conversion but was unappealing to Canadian Methodists. Airhart portrays the tensions between tradition and innovation through stories of the men and women who struggled to revitalize religion in an age when conventional social assumptions and institutions were being challenged by the ideals of the progressive movement. Serving the Present Age is an account of Canadian Methodist participation in a realignment of North American Protestantism which supporters believed would better enable them, in the words of a well-known Wesley hymn, "to serve the present age."

Psyche

Psyche

Phyllis Brett Young

2008
nidottu
A child who is the centre of her parents' life, is torn away in the darkness from her comfortable urban home and left to grow up in the barren hills of northern mining country. Over time, recognizing that she has outgrown the kindly but uneducated couple who raise her, she begins a relationship with an artist who initiates her into the wider world and adulthood. Psyche is the gripping story of a mother's undying faith in her child's survival and the child's remarkable resilience as she embarks on a dramatic journey of self-discovery through art, education, and interaction with a varied cast of colourful characters. This 1959 international bestseller focuses on issues of character and environment in an unconventional coming-of-age story that draws the reader into an exploration of still decidedly modern themes: the search for biological roots and identity, and the question of what most influences that identity - nature or nurture?

Lesbian Detective Fiction

Lesbian Detective Fiction

Phyllis M. Betz

McFarland Co Inc
2006
pokkari
This work examines how lesbian detective and mystery fiction represents lesbian characters and experience within the confines of the genre. As this book points out, such fiction reveals the lesbian's increasing visibility in the wider society. Nevertheless, it can still be difficult to find a complete representation of lesbian life in mainstream literature. Often the best place to find the lesbian represented in books is within the pages of genre fiction--especially the detective story. This book looks at how the lesbian characters' public and private lives intersect--often at the point of coming out, or of moving from isolation to connection with the community. Also considered is the lesbian detective's typical confrontation with two crucial elements of the investigator's role: the use of violence and the acquisition and expression of authority within police systems. Other topics of discussion include the cultural environments in which the stories are situated, and the use of humor as a key weapon in the lesbian detective's investigative arsenal.
