New York University Press Straights Heterosexuality in PostCloseted
Book SynopsisBased on 60 in-depth interviews with a diverse group of straight men and women, this title explores how straight Americans make sense of their sexual and gendered selves in this new landscape, particularly with an understanding of how race does and does not play a role in these conceptions.Trade Review"We can get terribly caught up in trying to pin down and label human behaviors, as though we were consistent and immutable creatures rather than the messy bundles of complex contradictions that most of us actually are. What James Joseph Dean does so well in Straights: Heterosexuality in Post-Closeted Culture is provide a conceptual framework for thinking about this & messiness of human sexuality and identity . . .Straights is timely and powerfully intersectional, with gender, sexuality and race established as robustly formative constellations of identity. Dean is the first commentator to articulate quite so clearly and thoughtfully how being & straight is no longer a social given, but a political position." * Times Higher Education *"One of the strengths of Deans approach is his attention to the heterosexual identity management strategies of both men and women. This enables him to draw out gendered differences in the presentation of heterosexuality that enhances understanding of both sexes." * Sociology *"[A] contemporary classic that will long serve as the key introductory text on heterosexuality." * Teaching Sociology,Greggor Mattson *"This is a detailed account of an interesting empirical study." * Journal of Gender Studies *"Dean has masterfully created a unique view of GLBTQ identity and its effect in heterosexuality, something heretofore seriously lacking in GBLTQ studies and highlighted with this book." * Choice *"The author has produced an innovative account of how the unprecedented cultural visibility of gays and lesbians compels black and white straight men and women to refashion their heterosexuality." * American Journal of Sociology *"James Dean's book illuminates the cusp of lived social change in gender and sexual relations, with homophobic attitudes on the decline and public support for gay rights and families on the rise. Straights shows how, during this 'post-closet' historical moment, people of various racial-ethnic groups define, mark, and sometimes contest heterosexual identities, privilege, and heteronormative social relations." -- Michael Messner,author of Power at Play: Sports and the Problem of MasculinityTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1.

Nova Science Publishers Inc School Social Work: Current Practice & Research
Book SynopsisThe primary aim of this book is to examine the role of social workers in schools with respect to fostering children's rights and creating better outcomes for children and young people in seven selected countries or places: China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. In this edited volume, a number of scholars, researchers and social work practitioners share their insights on school social work service or practice in their respective countries or places, and discuss how school social work service can further be improved to address the needs and problems of children and young people. School social work is a specialised area of youth work around the world. It has been developed for a long time. However, school social work service may take different forms and shapes, thereby affecting how it is delivered. For instance, while some school social workers primarily play the role of a clinical counsellor or caseworker, others see themselves as an advocate for the disabled and disadvantaged young people in schools. Therefore, instead of making comparisons among different practices, each chapter aims to introduce salient features of the school social work service of a specific country or place. In addition to examining the historical development of school social work in their regions, each chapter will also explore the views of school social workers regarding their successes and challenges in their day-to-day practices.

State University Press of New York (SUNY) The Knowledge Base in Educational Administration
Book SynopsisThis anthology summarizes and critiques the current knowledge base in the field of educational administration.For scholars and practitioners who are interested in or are concerned about knowledge-based issues, this book provides a needed antidote to narrow discussions of foundational issues.The editors of this book maintain that discussions of a knowledge base in educational administration have typically been limited to a fairly traditional range of scholarly commentary reflective of the status quo within departments of educational administration over the past several decades. Other views, such as feminist views, race/ethnic-based orientations, those that dispute the very idea of a knowledge base, and those that simply expand the traditional range, have been given little attention within the knowledge-base discourse. The purpose of this book is, thus, to open up this discourse by broadening the range of viewpoints being considered.
