  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisFor over 30 years, Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice has been the definitive sourcebook of theoretical foundations, pedagogical and design frameworks, and curricular models for social justice teaching practice. Thoroughly revised and updated, this fourth edition continues in the tradition of its predecessors to cover the most relevant issues and controversies in social justice education (SJE) in a practical, hands-on format. Filled with ready-to-apply activities and discussion questions, this book provides teachers and facilitators with an accessible pedagogical approach to issues of oppression in classrooms. The revised edition also focuses on providing students and participants with the tools needed to apply their learning about these issues. This fourth edition includes new and revised material for each of the core chapters in the book complemented by fully developed online teaching designs, including over 150 downloadables, activities, and handouts on the book's cTrade ReviewPraise for the previous edition:"Social justice is a term that is increasingly over-used and for that reason runs the risk of becoming cliché. This volume clarifies and brings texture to the meaning of the term by addressing its relevance and importance to the field of education. For those interested in using education to counter injustice, inequality and racism, this book will be an invaluable resource." --Pedro Noguera, Author of City Schools and the American Dream"A landmark in its field, this book provides the conceptual framework, historical background, and rationale for understanding the necessity and significance of social justice education. In this second edition, the editors and authors continue to enlighten, educate, and inspire all those teachers, academics, and others who refuse to accept the status quo of oppression and instead insist on working for a better world." --Sonia Nieto, Author of Affirming Diversity: The Sociopolitical Context of Multicultural EducationTable of ContentsPART I THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE; 1 Theoretical Foundations for Social Justice Education; 2 Pedagogical Foundations for Social Justice Education; 3 Design and Facilitation; 4 Getting Started: Core Concepts for Social Justice Education; PART II TEACHING DIVERSITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE; 5 Racism, White Supremacy and Finding Justice for All; 6 Sexism, Heterosexism, and Trans* Oppression: An Integrated Perspective; 7 Classism; 8 Religious Oppression; 9 Ableism and Disability Justice; 10 Youth Oppression and Elder Oppression; 11 Social Justice Education Online; 12 Critical Self-Knowledge for Social Justice Educators

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of Service User

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisWorldwide, there has been a growth in service user involvement in education and research in recent years. This handbook is the first book which identifies what is happening in different regions of the world to provide different countries and client groups with the opportunity to learn from each other.The book is divided into five sections: Section One examines service user involvement in context exploring theoretical issues which underpin service user involvement. In Section Two we focus on the state of service user involvement in human services education and research across the globe including examples of innovative practice, but also identifying examples of where it is not happening and why. Section Three offers more detailed examination of such involvement in a wide range of professional education learning settings. Section Four focuses on the involvement of service users in research involving a wide range of service user groups and situations. Lastly, Section Five exploreTrade Review"The first book on service user involvement in education and research that highlights its methodological and theoretical issues. It’s impressive in its scope with the presentation of case-studies from all over the globe. With its reflections on what works in practice, it is a significant contribution to the contemporary debate of co-working with service users in human services education and research."Dr Kristel Driessens, Head Centre of Expertise ‘Strengths Based Social Work’, Karel de Grote Hogeschool, Antwerp, Belguim"This book that locates service user involvement in a historical and political context. The theoretical discussions in the book are followed by case presentations from different nations where efforts to implement user involvement in education and/ or research are discussed. To say that service user involvement is a very important thing, and that it is necessary, is not the same as saying that it makes a difference-this book begins to provide the evidence of the impact it can make."Ole Petter Askheim, Professor, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences"As a ‘user’, lecturer, author and social debater, it feels ‘obvious’ that social colleges work actively with experiential knowledge in education, but as a ‘user-representative’, I know that it is unfortunately far from ‘obvious’. The challenge is to take notice of the very useful experience for people to learn from me as a human being, a not scientific experiment. The knowledge of how to make the most of user competence in a proven and dignified way is available and this book provides an excellent basis for taking the form of such an ambition."Malin Widerlöv, User Lecturer"Service User involvement has been central to the process of updating the Global Standards for Social Work Education and Training. The IFSW/IASSW global consultation has revealed that, despite some progress in Service User involvement in research and education, there is a dearth of relevant literature. This seminal collection of essays helps bridge such gap. The editors of this handbook have managed to collect, document and analyse unique examples of Service User involvement in education and research. Crucially, the book also provides a powerful contextualisation of the barriers service users have faced in academic and research contexts. The authors make a passionate case for the necessity of genuine and meaningful co-production of knowledge. This is an essential handbook for all academics, students, service users and activists interested in co-production and the creation of inclusive and empowering academic environments."Vasilios Ioakimidis, Professor of Social Work- Head of Allied Health, Oral Health and Social Work, University of Essex.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Finding Your Way with Your Baby

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisFinding Your Way with Your Baby explores the emotional experience of the baby in the first year and that of the mother, father and other significant adults.This updated edition is informed by latest research in neuroscience, psychoanalysis andinfant observation and decades of clinical experience. It also includes important new findings about how the mother's brain undergoes massive restructuring during the transition to parenthood, a phenomenon that has been named matrescence.' The authors engage with the difficult emotional experiences that are often glossed over in parenting books such as bonding, ambivalence about the baby, depression and the emotional turmoil of being a new parent. Acknowledgement and understanding of this darker side of family life offer a sense of relief that can allow parents to harness the power of knowing, owning and sharing feelings to transform situations and break negative cycles and old ways of relating.With real-life examples, tTrade Review'The authors begin and end with the notion that it takes a village to raise a child, and so it does. Reading this marvellous book is the closest you can get – without actually meeting anyone – to having conversations with other parents, vignettes of whose diverse, international experiences are to be found on almost every page. These narratives, together with short summaries of relevant research and therapeutic knowledge, break up the text. Since the first edition there have been great advances in the endocrinology and neuroscience of parent-infant interaction, elegantly summarised here by Alexandra de Rementeria.Dilys Daws says "my role is not to provide solutions but to help parents find their own" yet everywhere you can find helpful, often practical, advice on how to do that. Perceptive cartoons by Ros Asquith appear from time to time, capturing many of the ironies of new parenthood. The book makes clear that "the emotional life of parents and babies" is largely centred on the interaction between their bodies. Getting to know your baby takes many months of trial and error to achieve, with gains and losses on the way. Nothing is idealised here. "Good enough" is as good as it gets, and ambivalence is a given. Besides passion and pleasure, all parents have times of despair, occasionally requiring skilled help. The powerful impact of our own parents on the way we care for our children is a central theme, in varying proportions both a source of pride and regret.Dip into any chapter, depending on what interests or concerns you. This is as much a sourcebook for early years professionals as for parents. It should be compulsory reading for all health visitors!'Sebastian Kraemer, Honorary Consultant at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, London, UKPraise for the first edition 'This book tackles an area that is so relevant to so many but still so difficult to talk about. It offers reassurance and explanation… This is by far my favourite of all the books I have reviewed since I have taken part in the BMA book awards.' (First Prize, Popular Medicine, BMA Medical Book Awards 2016)'I read Finding Your Way with Your Baby with pleasure and I would definitely recommend it to parents, future parents and anyone interested in the inner life of the tiny humans.' Irena Domachowska, www.in-mind.org.uk'It is a really beautiful book – full of wisdom and kindness and subtlety.'Anne Alvarez'Finding Your Way with Your Baby is an exceptionally wise book, based on years of clinical work and scholarship, together with the authors’ own experience of parenthood. The accounts of parents who tell their stories, coupled with clinical insights, vividly convey the realities of the business of parenting. As well as capturing all the wonders of caring for small babies, what makes the book distinctive is that it tackles more difficult experiences that are rarely discussed in parenting books, but which nevertheless are common and deeply felt – such as fear and uncertainty, ambivalence and jealously, not just in the parent-infant relationship, but in relations between parents themselves. These can be frightening feelings that we would rather block off, yet, as the authors show, they may have negative consequences if we do not acknowledge them. The great strength of the book is that such experiences are taken seriously and treated sympathetically; clear and convincing accounts are provided for why they might occur, thereby lessening their power to be distressing, especially if they can be discussed with someone else. This book will be an enormous source of support for parents of young babies.' Lynne Murray, Professor of Developmental Psychology at the University of Reading, author of The Psychology of Babies'Gleaned from decades of therapeutic experience with parents as well as the latest research, this is a new and much needed kind of parenting book. Parents will feel that their own and their baby’s most complex experiences are compassionately understood and made sense of. The book does tackle the joys of parenting but many readers will also breathe a sigh of relief that it also attends to many harder to admit to thoughts and feelings, ones that other books simply gloss over. This could become a bible for new parents, but will also be helpful to grandparents, a range of child-care professionals, and indeed anyone interested in babies.' Graham Music, Consultant Child and Adolsecent Psychotherapist at the Tavistock and Portman Clinics, London, UK'This captivating little book can be read as a straightforward travelogue – what new parents and their babies can expect as they embark on the "journey" of their new lives together. Like any good travel book, it can be dipped into, seeking out specific points of interest and just skimming the rest – or it can be a used as a detailed guide, reading intensively to immerse in the whole experience. Either way, the book exudes a warmth and wisdom that allows the reader to feel comforted and in control of the experience, gaining in personal confidence as they plan the journey in their own way. Fathers as well as mothers are truly included and different forms of family life are well acknowledged, along with common and unusual difficulties that are likely to be encountered. As well as parents, it would be equally valuable for professionals – student health visitors and midwives could also benefit from the breadth of professional expertise, classic research and authentic parental experience.' Dame Sarah Cowley, Emeritus Professor, King's College London, UK, former health visitor, Trustee of the Institute of Health Visiting'The burgeoning recognition of infant mental health as a field within CAMHS reflects the increased awareness of the importance of prevention and early intervention in the national agenda. This beautiful little book, which minutely examines the reflexive relationship between the emotional life of parents and babies, is therefore timely.The authors provide a psychoanalytic, fly on the wall trip from conception to early infancy from the perspective of parents, baby and other important relatives. It therefore differs from other books exploring the baby’s internal world, which tend to focus more on the baby’s experience...making the book suitable for parents and clinicians alike.' Claire McKenna, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, the Association for Child and Mental Health'I believe that many parents will find answers to their questions in this book as it covers an enormous range of possible scenarios they may encounter during the first year of their baby's life ... [it] really offers a comprehensive "guide" to parents in discovering and navigating the 'new territory' of their experience ... The book is written in clear, jargon-free style and is therefore accessible to a wide audience ... While reading this book I found myself smiling, frowning, feeling puzzled and impatiently curious about what the authors had to say next ... Although the book is aimed at parents, I think it is also valubale for professionals, both in terms of offering knowledge and understanding, but also in offering a model of how to talk to parents. Being a child psychotherapist and parent-infant psychotherapist in training ... I feel that I have learnt from this book and have been using this learning in my work. I also recommend this book to some parents I work with and wonder whether it could be included on the prescription list at GP surgeries and baby clinics ... The tone of the whole book is kind, respectful, compassionate and patient and it is likely that while reading it, parents will have a feeling of being understood.' Marija Stojkovic, Child Psychotherapist, in the Journal of Child Psychotherapy‘Finding Your Way with Your Baby has been so helpful for families under the Nottingham Perinatal Psychiatric Service, I have lent it to several colleagues now who have in turn shared with their patients, and they have fed back how gentle and accessible they have found it – it has certainly helped to overcome preconceptions about psychoanalytic theory being remote and stuffy!’ Liz Chesters, Mother Infant Nurse Therapist at the Nottinghamshire Perinatal Psychiatric ServicePraise for the first edition from parents ‘The night this book arrived Tom and I sat on the bathroom floor (the warmest room in the apartment), with the baby and a bottle of red wine, and read bits aloud to each other. It really got some conversations going, particularly on the kind of parents we want to be.’ Josie Shillito ‘We have been snatching chapters of it in between feeds and have found it immensely reassuring and revelatory in equal measure.' Sarah Sternberg 'As a new father reading this book before the birth of my first son, it gave me confidence ahead of becoming a parent, particularly around understanding the needs of a newborn and communication. By acknowledging both the positive and negative emotions that new parents, and particularly new fathers, can experience, I felt better prepared and less fearful of what was potentially around the corner.'
