Moon Sisters, Krishna Mothers, Rajneesh Lovers

Moon Sisters, Krishna Mothers, Rajneesh Lovers

Susan Jean Palmer

Syracuse University Press
1995
nidottu
Palmer's investigation of the deep bonds between women's spiritual identity and women's sexual identity inaugurates a significant new series on Women and Gender in North American Religions. Women's participation in such religions often allows them to redefine their traditional social roles through a playful reinterpretation of their sexual roles. This study provides a clear record of the voices of women interpreting the almost palpable bond between the sacred and the sexual.

Practicing Pragmatism through Progressive Pedagogies

Practicing Pragmatism through Progressive Pedagogies

Susan Jean Mayer

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
sidottu
This book contributes to the contemporary revival of pragmatism as a practical and ultimately, as Mayer argues, necessary philosophical stance within democratic schools. Given that pragmatism addresses the question of how people can move forward in the absence of transcendent Truth, the author shows how pragmatism also—and not incidentally—provides grounds for pluralistic democratic societies to move forward in the absence of shared belief systems.Weaving together philosophical analysis and classroom discourse research, Mayer explores the relationships among pragmatism, progressive educational theory, and democratic knowledge construction processes and their implications for enacting progressive educational practices in schools. Several original, research-based heuristics that can serve in reliably identifying, studying, and orchestrating distinctively democratic knowledge construction processes are presented. The importance of granting all students a share of interpretive authority is also emphasized. For in learning to observe and reflect on one’s own terms, attend closely to the observations and interpretations of one’s peers, and reason collaboratively in a transparent and principled manner, young people are enculturated into essential democratic values, commitments, and practices.This book is written for a general audience and is intended for all those concerned with strengthening the democratic character of schools and societies. It is likely to appeal to scholars, researchers, and practitioners with interests in philosophy and classroom discourse and curriculum studies, as well as philosophers of education and the social sciences more broadly.

Classroom Discourse and Democracy

Classroom Discourse and Democracy

Susan Jean Mayer

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2012
nidottu
This book provides practitioners and scholars with a number of practical tools for studying and implementing democratic learning processes within schools, and theorizes these tools in relation to current developmental learning and democratic theory. Three dimensions of knowledge are framed – foundational, expert, and personal – and the place of each in the construction of democratic classroom understandings is explored. Based on a two-part analysis of the roles students played in a number of pedagogically diverse classroom discussions, three different forms of learning experience are then presented – teacher-led, student-led, and co-led learning. While all three forms of learning experience are seen as valuable to a fully realized democratic pedagogy, each form is shown to possess a distinctive set of affordances and constraints in relation to the many varied challenges involved in fostering children’s academic growth and learning.

Death by Budo

Death by Budo

Susan Jean Palmer

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
When a Budo mock battle, performed in blindfold, is interrupted by a real killing, sociologist Dr. Stevka Koutev's covert research is at stake. Sent in a year ago by the Center for the Study of Sects to investigate a martial arts school that, suddenly, mysteriously, transformed into an apocalyptic "cult", Stevka has already confronted formidable obstacles to her project. Stevka's interviews with Budo's beautiful prophetess, Simu Oliwia, were constantly interrupted by her informant's lapses into trance, as she channeled Lady Nii, a vengeful ghost from the Tang dynasty who blocked access. Stevka struggles to maintain her scholarly objectivity when she is summoned to court as an expert witness in a deprogramming case. Oliwia had beaten up her ex-husband and his exit counselor, who claim she is a brainwashed victim of Budo instructor, Sifu Adil. Stevka then becomes embroiled in a copyright lawsuit, when a rival channeler appropriates Oliwia's 12-century "Entity" and published new Lady Nii materials. Meanwhile, millennial expectation is building in the Budo Academy as Oliwia's beloved spiritual consort, Simu Adil, threatens to undermine the group's spiritual agenda with his coke habit and dealings with biker gangs. Two copycat murders follow the blindfold battle killing, and Stevka must delve into Lady Nii's channeled 'Levelations' and consult with a famous parapsychologist in order to unravel the Budo murders.
