Harvard Educational Publishing Group YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW: School Desegregation and Resegregation in Charlotte
Book SynopsisYesterday, Today, and Tomorrow provides a compelling analysis of the forces and choices that have shaped the trend toward the resegregation of public schools. By assembling a wide range of contributors - historians, sociologists, economists, and education scholars - the editors provide a comprehensive view of a community’s experience with desegregation and economic development. Here we see resegregation through the lens of Charlotte, North Carolina, once a national model of successfuldesegregation, and home of the landmark Swann desegregation case, which gave rise to school busing.This book recounts the last forty years of Charlotte’sdesegregation and resegregation, putting education reform in a political and economic context. Within a decade of the Swann case, the district had developed one of the nation’s most successful desegregation plans, measured by racial balance and improved academic outcomes for both black and white students. However, beginning in the 1990s, this plan was gradually dismantled. Today, the level of resegregation in Charlotte has almost returned to what it was prior to 1971. At the core of Charlotte’s story is the relationship between social structure and human agency, with an emphasis on how yesterday’s decisions and actions define today’s choices.Table of ContentsContentsMap of Mecklenburg County viiPreface ixCHAPTER 1Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Structure and Agency in the Resegregation of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools 1 Roslyn Arlin Mickelson, Stephen Samuel Smith, and Amy Hawn Nelson CHAPTER 2The Price of Success The Political Economy of Education, Desegregation, and Development in Charlotte 17 Stephen Samuel Smith CHAPTER 3A Spirit of Togetherness Desegregation and Community at West Charlotte High School 39 Pamela Grundy CHAPTER 4“Academic Genocide” on the West Side West Charlotte High School in the Post-Swann Era 53 Roslyn Arlin Mickelson, Stephen Samuel Smith, Stephanie Southworth, and S.

Sourcebooks, Inc Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls
Book SynopsisWINNER OF THE 2020 CONNECTICUT BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION AND NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS FOR BOOK CLUBS IN 2021 BY BOOKBROWSE"Perkins' richly detailed narrative is a reminder that gender equity has never come easily, but instead if borne from the exertions of those who precede us."—Nathalia Holt, New York Times bestselling author of Rise of the Rocket GirlsIf Yale was going to keep its standing as one of the top two or three colleges in the nation, the availability of women was an amenity it could no longer do without.In the winter of 1969, from big cities to small towns, young women across the country sent in applications to Yale University for the first time. The Ivy League institution dedicated to graduating "one thousand male leaders" each year had finally decided to open its doors to the nation's top female students. The landmark decision was a huge step forward for women's equality in education.Or was it?The experience the first undergraduate women found when they stepped onto Yale's imposing campus was not the same one their male peers enjoyed. Isolated from one another, singled out as oddities and sexual objects, and barred from many of the privileges an elite education was supposed to offer, many of the first girls found themselves immersed in an overwhelmingly male culture they were unprepared to face. Yale Needs Women is the story of how these young women fought against the backward-leaning traditions of a centuries-old institution and created the opportunities that would carry them into the future. Anne Gardiner Perkins's unflinching account of a group of young women striving for change is an inspiring story of strength, resilience, and courage that continues to resonate today."Yes, Yale needed women, but it didn't really want them... Anne Gardiner Perkins tells how these young women met the challenge with courage and tenacity and forever changed Yale and its chauvinistic motto of graduating 1,000 male leaders every year."—Lynn Povich, author of The Good Girls Revolt

West Virginia University Press An American Phoenix: A History of Storer College
Book SynopsisIn the first book-length study of Storer College, Dawne Raines Burke tells the story of the historically black institution from its Reconstruction origins to its demise in 1955. Established by Northern Baptists in the abolitionist flashpoint of Harpers Ferry, Storer was the first college open to African Americans in West Virginia, and it played a central role in regional and national history. In addition to educating generations of students of all races, genders, and creeds, Storer served as the second meeting place (and the first on U.S. soil) for the Niagara Movement, a precursor to the NAACP.An American Phoenix provides a comprehensive and extensively illustrated history of this historically black college, bringing to life not just the institution but many of the individuals who taught or were educated there. It fills a significant gap in our knowledge of African American history and the struggle for rights in West Virginia and the wider world.

Rutgers University Press Mad River, Marjorie Rowland, and the Quest for
Book SynopsisMad River, Marjorie Rowland, and the Quest for LGBTQ Teachers’ Rights addresses an important legal case that set the stage for today’s LGBTQ civil rights–a case that almost no one has heard of. Marjorie Rowland v. Mad River School District involves an Ohio guidance counselor fired in 1974 for being bisexual. Rowland’s case made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices declined to consider it. In a spectacular published dissent, Justice Brennan laid out arguments for why the First and Fourteenth Amendments apply to bisexuals, gays, and lesbians. That dissent has been the foundation for LGBTQ civil rights advances since. In the first in-depth treatment of this foundational legal case, authors Margaret A. Nash and Karen L. Graves tell the story of that case and of Marjorie Rowland, the pioneer who fought for employment rights for LGBTQ educators and who paid a heavy price for that fight. It brings the story of LGBTQ educators’ rights to the present, including commentary on Bostock v Clayton County, the 2020 Supreme Court case that struck down employment discrimination against LGBT workers. Trade Review"Margaret Nash and Karen Graves have produced the first full history of a true American heroine. Thanks to brave educators like Marjorie Rowland, LGBTQ teachers now enjoy vastly more freedoms than they did in earlier eras. But the fight is hardly over, as this brilliant little book reminds us. We have indeed come a long way, in the struggle for real human equality in our schools. And we also have much farther to go." -- Jonathan Zimmerman * author of The Amateur Hour: A History of College Teaching in America * "In this superb combination of narrative and analytical history, Nash and Graves engage us first with the dramatic, arduous story of Marjorie Rowland and her fight for equitable treatment. They then analyze how principles drawn from Rowland’s case have informed litigation surrounding LGBTQ educators over time, concluding with potent reflections on current prospects. Covering vast legal ground in accessible language, this book will stand as an important marker of the history of rights for LGBTQ school professionals." -- Linda Eisenmann * author of Higher Education for Women in Postwar America, 1945-1965 *"Margaret Nash and Karen Graves have produced the first full history of a true American heroine.

The University Press of Kentucky Lessons from the Foothills
Book SynopsisOn Christmas Eve in 1859, sixty-five prominent armed white men rode into the small Kentucky town of Berea and forced the townspeople to close its integrated one-room schoolhouse. The mob perceived the school as a threat to white supremacy and the racial order. Abolitionist John Gregg Fee established the school for the expressed purpose of providing education to anyone eager to learn, regardless of their racea notion that horrified those convinced of the sanctity of white supremacy. The mob succeeded in evicting thirty-six community members, including Fee''s family, but Fee and the others returned to Berea in 1864 and reestablished the school as Berea Collegean institution committed to providing education to Appalachia''s most vulnerable populations.In _Lessons from the Foothills_, Gretchen Dykstra profiles modern Berea College, considered the moral compass of the commonwealth, and its rich and beloved history. This book is the first to focus solely on the principles and practices that

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Paradies ist ein Hörsaal für die Seelen :
Book SynopsisReligionskulturen der Antike und des Mittelalters sind eng mit dem Bildungsthema verknüpft - in ganz unterschiedlicher Weise. Wie hängen Bildung und Religion zusammen, welche Bildungsgüter und -wege gelten aus religiöser Sicht als erstrebenswert (oder auch als gefährlich), und wer sind die Akteure in diesem Feld? Diesen und verwandten Fragen widmet sich dieser interdisziplinäre Sammelband mit besonderem Augenmerk auf den institutionellen Zusammenhängen, in denen religiöse Bildung vermittelt und reflektiert wurde. Neben methodologischen Überlegungen werden Fallstudien vom klassischen Griechenland über das spätantike Judentum und Christentum bis zum lateinischen Mittelalter und zum klassischen Islam vorgestellt. Die Beiträge bieten damit ein facettenreiches Bild verschiedener Konstellationen von Bildung und Religion, das zu weiteren vergleichenden Forschungen einlädt.
