Real Reading, Real Writing

Content-area Strategies

Two seasoned veterans recount their 23-year collaboration to find ways to get students to improve their learning in their content area subjects. The two teachers, one an elementary-trained reading specialist and the other a secondary-trained science teacher, begin by telling of their mission to find what will work for them, rejecting and tiring of bandwagon movements and quick-fix promises, and finding the power of collaboration. In their subsequent chapters, they discuss practices and strategies for helping students read and become actively involved with books, lectures, and videos. Then they flesh out activities to help students write more effectively in the content areas. Every teaching strategy is one that they have used successfully with real students. And they have tracked improved grades and secured students' feedback about which strategies helped them the most.

Teaching Multiwriting

Researching and Composing with Multiple Genres, Media, Disciplines, and Cultures

Formulaic ways to train students in composition and rhetoric are no longer effective, say authors Robert L. Davis and Mark F. Shadle. Scholar-teachers must instead reinvent the field from the inside. Teaching Multiwriting: Researching and Composing with Multiple Genres, Media, Disciplines, and Cultures presents just such a reinvention with multiwriting, an alternative, open approach to composition. Seeking to open the minds of both writers and readers to new understandings, the authors argue for the supplanting of the outdated research paper assignment with research projects that use multiple forms to explore questions that cannot be fully answered. This innovative volume, geared to composition teachers at all levels, includes sixteen helpful illustrations and provides classroom exercises and projects for each chapter.

Exotic deviance

medicalizing cultural idioms--from strangeness to illness

Exotic Deviance is a seminal study of Western psychiatric interpretations of some of the most bizarre behaviors ever recorded. Robert Bartholomew examines behaviors so strange by modern Western standards that they are assumed to be illnesses or disorders -- latah, koro, and dance "mania". Psychiatrists making these diagnoses draw heavily on Eurocentric values and assumptions.In Malaysia and Indonesia, when startled, ordinarily shy, stolid elderly Malay women will suddenly swear profusely, mimic the gestures of others, and may be induced into "automatic obedience". During this latter state, "victims" of latah will do anything they are told: strip naked in public, slap themselves in the face, or crawl on the floor and growl like an animal. Bartholomew also looks closely at koro-genital-shrinking "epidemics" among men in parts of Asia who believe their penises will disappear. Women are sometimes affected, believing their breasts or vaginas are being sucked into their bodies. A third study looks at the frenzied St. Vitus's dance, which swept across medieval Europe as masses of people joined in public orgies and wild dances.Exotic Deviance examines Otherness with an emphasis on Western understanding and acceptance, explaining that these behaviors are rational outcomes of unfamiliar symbol systems and world-views and are a testament to the power of human imagination and creativity. This book will appeal to psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists and anyone interested in the diversity of human cultural practices.

The quest for community and identity

critical essays in Africana social philosophy

This collection of essays engages two of the most fundamental social and political issues of our time: community and identity. Wrestling with the perplexities of these two issues within the Africana world, the contributors delve into the influences of a postmodern world of globalization with outdated, crumbling forms of identity and sociality. In the wake of such an order, new forms of identity and community must be established.

Wisdom

Its Nature, Origins, and Development

This authoritative volume represents the only complete collection of psychological views on wisdom currently available. Considered an elusive psychological construct until recently, wisdom is currently attracting interest as an independent field. The acclaimed psychologist Robert Sternberg perceived the need to document the progress made in the field, and to point the way for future theory and progress. The resulting book introduces the concept of wisdom, considers philosophical issues and developmental approaches, and covers folk conceptions of the topic. The final chapter presents an integration of the fascinating and comprehensive material.

The Getting of Wisdom

The subject of this book is a young woman: an awkward, insecure, restless and 'knowing' child who learns that self-realisation depends on rebellion and escape, but that the latter will first demand at least the semblance of conformity. In telling lies, Laura learns both the astonishing allure of fiction and the social costs of stepping beyond the bounds of propriety, gender, class, and family ties. The novel is only in part a fictionalised account of Richardson's school years at the Presbyterian Ladies College, Melbourne, where (unlike her fictional counterpart) she was not only academically successful but also an outstanding student of music. Unusual for stories of school-life, The Getting of Wisdom was clearly aimed at a mature readership able to understand irony and a critique of the colonial educational provision of its day, including a determination to preserve sexual ignorance in young women.

A Handbook of Wisdom

Psychological Perspectives

A topic ignored in mainstream scientific inquiry for decades, wisdom is beginning to return to the place of reverence that it held in ancient schools of intellectual study. A Handbook of Wisdom, first published in 2005, explores wisdom's promise for helping scholars and lay people to understand the apex of human thought and behavior. At a time when poor choices are being made by notably intelligent and powerful individuals, this book presents analysis and review on a form of reasoning and decision-making that is not only productive and prudent, but also serves a beneficial purpose for society. A Handbook of Wisdom is a collection of chapters from some of the most prominent scholars in the field of wisdom research. Written from multiple perspectives, including psychology, philosophy, and religion, this book gives the reader an in-depth understanding of wisdom's past, present, and possible future direction within literature, science, and society.
