COMPUGIRLS

COMPUGIRLS

Kimberly A. Scott

University of Illinois Press
2021
sidottu
What does is it mean for girls of color to become techno-social change agents--individuals who fuse technological savvy with a deep understanding of society in order to analyze and confront inequality? Kimberly A. Scott explores this question and others as she details the National Science Foundation-funded enrichment project COMPUGIRLS. This groundbreaking initiative teaches tech skills to adolescent girls of color but, as importantly, offers a setting that emphasizes empowerment, community advancement, and self-discovery. Scott draws on her experience as an architect of COMPUGIRLS to detail the difficulties of translating participants' lives into a digital context while tracing how the program evolved. The dramatic stories of the participants show them blending newly developed technical and communication skills in ways designed to spark effective action and bring about important change. A compelling merger of theory and storytelling, COMPUGIRLS provides a much-needed roadmap for understanding how girls of color can find and define their selves in today's digital age.

Research in Urban Educational Settings

Research in Urban Educational Settings

Kimberly A. Scott; Wanda J. Blanchett

Information Age Publishing
2011
nidottu
Results from quantitative and qualitative research studies have painted countless images of the unique features shaping urban schools including students' experiences and how the surrounding communities affect the entire system. Race, ethnicity, social class, language, power, politics, and public image operate as intersecting elements shaping the contours of urban school life therefore its documentation. Little has been written about how researchers of urban schools and their constituencies effectively navigate these complex elements, design a culturally sensitive and responsive project, and acquire meaningful data. What are some of the critically important issues a researcher should consider when working with urban schools? What should be a researcher's commitment to the urban communities in which they conduct research? How can a researcher develop a trusting relationship in an environment justifiably distrustful of outsiders? These and other inquiries shape the contours of this edited volume.As educators and policy makers take a closer examination at urban schools and their successes, research of these unique settings assumes a more prominent role. For academics, both novice and experienced, establishing and maintaining rapport within these environments often require greater attention than qualitative or quantitative research books accord. Authors in this compilation share lessons learned about power, privilege, and their meanings as they pertain to conducting research in and with urban settings. To this end, four primary objectives guide this manuscript: 1) To expand the conversation of urban school research to include multiple voices of culturally responsible, caring scholars with a professed commitment to using research as an empowering tool for urban educational contexts; 2) To provide practical accounts of what has and has not worked for individuals conducting both short-term and longitudinal research in urban educational institutions and communities; 3) To demonstrate the (dis)connect between classroom discussions of urban education and real-life field experiences of researchers working in urban settings; and 4) To broaden discussions of reflexivity by analyzing the complex journey qualitative and quantitative sociologists, anthropologists, teacher educators, urban educators, and special educators experience while negotiating and creating collaborative relationships with urban educators, administrators, students, parents, and community members.

Using Narratives and Storytelling to Promote Cultural Diversity on College Campuses

Using Narratives and Storytelling to Promote Cultural Diversity on College Campuses

T. Scott Bledsoe; Kimberly A. Setterlund

Business Science Reference
2020
sidottu
Stories offer opportunities for listeners to merge the storyteller's experiences with their own, resulting in connections that can turn into life-changing experiences. However, when the experience of the storyteller ceases to matter to the listener, ideologies begin to influence the listener's view of the storyteller. Using Narratives and Storytelling to Promote Cultural Diversity on College Campuses is an essential research publication that provides comprehensive research on the creation of space for divergent narratives that detail a vast array of experiences. The book includes qualitative studies on diversity-based projects and video narratives that provide a comprehensive dialogue about diversity with an emphasis on personal narratives. Highlighting a range of topics including feminism, ethnicity, and psychosocial development, this book is ideal for academicians, practitioners, psychologists, sociologists, education professionals, counselors, researchers, and students.

Kids in Context

Kids in Context

Sarane Spence Boocock; Kimberly Ann Scott

Rowman Littlefield Publishers
2005
sidottu
Kids in Context is a comprehensive overview of the new and rapidly growing field of sociology of children and childhoods. It includes explication of theories and empirical evidence about children's social worlds, from their day-to-day experiences in their homes, neighborhoods and schools to the impact on their lives of political, economic, and social trends at the global level. Alternative perceptions of children and childhood and the implications of children's subordinate social status will be examined. In keeping with the authors' view of children as active participants in society rather than simply as passive recipients of adult care and control, each chapter contains data gathered directly from children, and examples of children's contributions to their families, communities and societies are noted. In a pair of chapters on family life, the authors examine the mutual effects of kids and parents on each other as well as the implications of changing family structures and modes of child rearing. Other chapters are devoted to the dynamics of children's group life and the creation and dissemination of children's culture, both locally and globally. Variations in childhoods resulting from inequalities of race and ethnicity, social class and gender are compared, with special attention to groups of children who have been marginalized or treated mainly as "social problems." The final chapter contains an assessment of alternative strategies for enhancing children's status and well-being.

Unser Weg nach Rom

Unser Weg nach Rom

Scott Hahn; Kimberly Hahn

Christiana Verlag
2013
nidottu
Scott Hahn, ein protestantischer amerikanischer Theologe, und seine Frau Kimberly beschreiben in diesem Buch ihr jahrelanges Ringen um den katholischen Glauben bis zur Konversion. Schritt für Schritt tasteten sie sich in der Bibel vor und fanden in unzähligen Schriftstellen die Lehre der katholischen Kirche vollumfänglich bestätigt. Auch durch viele Glaubensgespräche stießen sie auf neue Argumente für die katholische Lehre. Sie schrieben im Vorwort der amerikanischen Ausgabe: ?Als wir anfingen, Rome Sweet Home - so der amerikanische Titel - zu schreiben, hatten wir keine Ahnung, wie sehr dieses Buch viele Leser bewegen würde. Zum einen waren wir erstaunt über die Anzahl: Über 100'000 Exemplare wurden von der englischen Ausgabe verkauft und das Buch wurde übersetzt ins Französische, Chinesische, Tschechische, Polnische, Spanische, Italienische und Deutsche. Zum anderen sind wir überrascht, dass unsere Konversion einen so tiefen Eindruck auf unterschiedliche Gruppen von Lesern macht. Da sind einmal die vielen katholischen Leser, die uns ihre Freude darüber zum Ausdruck bringen, dass sie gleichsam durch die Brille von Neulingen die Wahrheit und Schönheit der Kirche als weltweiter Familie Gottes wiederentdecken dürfen. Dann haben uns viele Nicht-Katholiken - Protestanten, Orthodoxe, Fundamentalisten, Charismatiker - geschrieben, dass unser Buch ihnen geholfen habe, ihre falschen Auffassungen und Missverständnisse über das Katholische zu korrigieren. Weiter wurden wir von vielen Ex-Katholiken angerufen, die uns sagten, dass sie ihre Entscheidung, die Kirche zu verlassen, noch einmal überdenken wollten. Wir haben viele hundert Briefe von Männern und Frauen aus der ganzen Welt erhalten, die uns schreiben, wie sie selbst oder Verwandte und Bekannte sich entschlossen haben, wieder ?nach Hause zu kommen?. Wir können nur sagen: Deo gratias - Gott sei Dank!?

Rome Sweet Home

Ignatius Press

The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic ... until he reluctantly began to discover that his "enemy" had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous "dark night of the soul" after Scott converted to Catholicism. Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony. Written with simplicity, charity, grace and wit, the Hahns' deep love and knowledge of Christ and of Scripture is evident and contagious throughout their story. Their love of truth and of neighbor is equally evident, and their theological focus on the great importance of the family, both biological and spiritual, will be a source of inspiration for all readers.
