Alternative Solutions to Higher Education's Challenges

Laura M. Harrison; Peter C. Mather

Routledge
2015
sidottu
Moving beyond critique, Alternative Solutions to Higher Education’s Challenges uses an appreciative approach to highlight what is working in colleges and universities and offers an examination of how institutions can improve practice. Drawing on examples and cases from real higher education institutions, this book offers a solution-focused framework that challenges the negative assumptions that have plagued higher education. Chapters explore how current narratives have perpetuated and maintained systematic flaws in our education system and have hindered reform. This invaluable resource breaks from the substantial literature that only highlights the many problems facing higher education today, and instead provides alternative strategies and essential recommendations for moving higher education institutions forward.

Teaching Struggling Students

Teaching Struggling Students

Laura M. Harrison

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
sidottu
This book tackles the phenomenon of limited learning on campuses by approaching it from the point of view of the author, an educator who writes about the experience of being, simultaneously, a college student and a college professor. The author lays out her experience as a student struggling in an introductory linguistics class, framing her struggles as sites ripe for autoethnographic interrogation. Throughout the book, the author melds her personal narratives with the extant research on college student learning, college readiness, and the interconnectedness of affect, intellect, and socio-cultural contexts. This book poses a challenge to the current binary metanarrative that circles the college student learning conundrum, which highlights either the faculty or student perspective, and unfolds this unnecessary binary into a rich, nuanced, and polyvocal set of perspectives.

Advancing Social Justice

Advancing Social Justice

Tracy Davis; Laura M. Harrison

John Wiley Sons Inc
2013
sidottu
Tools and strategies to foster transformative change for social justice Many believe that social justice education is simply the new politically correct term for diversity-focused intervention or multiculturalism. The true definition, however, is more complex, nuanced, and important to understand. Higher education today needs clarity on both the concept of social justice and effective tools to successfully translate theory into practice. In Advancing Social Justice: Tools, Pedagogies, and Strategies to Transform Your Campus, Tracy Davis and Laura M. Harrison offer educators a clear understanding of what social justice is, along with effective practices to help higher education institutions embrace a broad social justice approach in all aspects of their work with students, both inside and outside of the classroom. Theoretical, philosophical, and practical, the book challenges readers to take a step back from where they are, do an honest and unvarnished assessment of how they currently practice social justice, rethink how they approach their work, and re-engage based on a more informed and rigorous conceptual framework. The authors begin by clarifying the definition of social justice as an approach that examines and acknowledges the impact of institutional and historical systems of power and privilege on individual identity and relationships. Exploring identity devel-opment using the critical lenses of history and context, they concentrate on ways that oppression and privilege are manifest in the lived experiences of students. They also highlight important concepts to consider in designing and implementing effective social justice interventions and provide examples of effective social justice education. Finally, the book provides teachers and practitioners with tools and strategies to infuse a social justice approach into their work with students and within their institutions.

I den svenska översättningen av Kielhofner’s Model of Human Occupation (femte amerikanska upplagan, den andra i svensk översättning), presenteras teori, forskning och tillämpning av modellen i boken. Modellen förklarar hur aktivitet motiveras, inordnas i vardagens livsmönster, utförs och påverkas av aktuell miljökontext samt vad som händer när människan ställs inför svårigheter som sjukdom, skador och annat som leder till problem med att utföra aktiviteter. I boken diskuteras hur arbetsterapi med stöd av modellen kan möjliggöra för människor att engagera sig i aktiviteter som ger mening och tillfredsställelse och som gynnar deras fysiska och emotionella välbefinnande. MOHO är den internationellt mest spridda och använda aktivitetsfokuserade modellen inom arbetsterapi. Boken innehåller rikligt med exempel på hur MOHO kan användas vid personcentrerad arbetsterapi. Modellen grundar sig på omfattande forskning och det finns ett starkt evidensbaserat empiriskt stöd för modellen och dess användning, vilket framkommer i bokens rika referensmaterial. I denna femte upplaga av boken har nya kapitel med tillämpning av modellen inom olika områden tillkommit och miljöns betydelse för görande och aktivitet har utvecklats. Boken vänder sig främst till arbetsterapeuter, studenter och forskare inom arbetsterapi men även till andra som vill fördjupa sig kring människans engagemang och delaktighet i aktivitet.Den engelska originalupplagan är publicerad av Wolters Kluwer.

Women in the Workforce

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC

An accessible overview of the power of women in the economy and the obstacles they face Women are joining the workforce in increasing numbers, making inroads as entrepreneurs and leaders, acquiring more education, marrying later, and having fewer children - all trends consistent with spending a far greater fraction of their adult lives in the labor force. And yet, even as women break the glass ceiling and challenge gender and sexual norms, they are told they need to "lean in" and powerful movements like #TimesUP and #MeToo are still necessary to expose and overcome endemic discrimination, exploitation, harassment, and worse. Women in the Workforce: What Everyone Needs to Know ® provides an essential and accessible introduction to the significance of women in the economy and the obstacles they face in claiming equal status. Economists Laura M. Argys and Susan L. Averett tackle timely topics like the wage gap, "women's work," and gendered workplace interactions in an easy-to-read question and answer format. The book focuses on the choices people make and how these are framed by institutional impediments that create inequalities in the options available to men and women. Argys and Averett highlight how the experience of being a woman in the labor market varies, sometimes dramatically, by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. They also explore how living in cities, towns, and rural areas influence choices and outcomes. Covering a range of topics, from breastfeeding and work, earnings penalties for women who have taken time away from work, and childcare while women work, to the gender pay gap and the distinctive challenges women face as they age and transition to retirement, this book answers the essential questions surrounding women in the workforce.
