Book Synopsis Humane Education in Higher Education by : Stephanie Itle-Clark
Download or read book Humane Education in Higher Education written by Stephanie Itle-Clark and published by Wcy Humane Press. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realm of higher education is designed to disseminate knowledge. The content area is easy to define, but what is being taught related to inclusive social justice and the streaming spectrum of human, non-human, and environmental interactions? Moral intelligence and compassion are shaped by many social dynamics and in countless ways the postsecondary educational system has a chance to incorporate inclusive prosocial development into instructional concepts as well as the overarching campus systems. Discover how faculty and staff working in higher education institutions can push beyond the degree-specific cognitive skills and encourage compassion so that learners experience social and emotional growth. Humane Education in Higher Education: Advancing Inclusive Social Justice Studies in a Postsecondary Environment features contributions by twelve scholars of the humane and prosocial movements. The book puts forth the primary concept that "A truly humane education revolves around inclusive social justice and supports personal development of 'critical thinking, problem solving, perspective-taking, and empathy as it relates to people, animals, the planet, and the intersections among them, '" according to editor Stephanie Itle-Clark. The volume aims to bring truly inclusive humane pedagogy into the realm of higher education to effectively address teaching intersectionality of social justice issues.

Book Synopsis From a Gadfly to a Hornet by : Deron Boyles
Download or read book From a Gadfly to a Hornet written by Deron Boyles and published by IAP. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine Hart’s peripatetic career as teacher, editor, journalist, lecturer, and public philosopher. It is biographical as well as an intellectual history of a fascinating character and prolific author. Our goal is to resurrect Hart’s intellectual life in order to more deeply understand the significant issues he not only confronted, but endured. These issues primarily include academic freedom and humanizing education, with their direct links to community organizing and Danish folk schools—themes that run throughout the book. Instead of seeing Hart’s intellectual life as a cautionary tale against forceful criticism, we offer a view consistent with Hart: we should embrace the “full and frank” sense of academic freedom in order to demonstrate a truly democratic mode of associated living in universities and civic communities. Respecting different views should not mean mollifying critique. The opposite, in fact, is in keeping with our view of the open exchange of ideas characteristic of free societies and legitimate institutions of higher education. Other themes of significance in this book include the status of the social foundations in teacher education, social welfare, pacifism, community organizing, the broader purposes of schools and universities in the U.S., and Hart’s commitment to adult education via Danish folk schools and rural community living. The politics of teacher education are legion, and this was no less so when Hart began his career in the early twentieth century. Debates were had about the degree to which normal schools, as two?year teacher training sites, should broaden their technical scope to include the liberal arts. This is the distinction between teacher training and teacher education. Those in favor of classroom management and efficient controls or methods for dispensing curriculum faced criticism from those who thought schools should be embryotic spaces for individual and democratic growth. Hart was clearly on the side of individual and democratic growth and this meant, in part, less order, less routine, and less bureaucratic imposition of standards from bureaucratic hierarchies. Positively, it meant engaging in debates that challenge students to think differently than they have ever thought before. As we show in the following pages, Hart was enormously successful at challenging ideas...and many people would rather not be challenged. As we noted above, this position results in demonstrating a “full and frank” enactment of academic freedom. Endorsement: Historians tend to cast educational figures of the past as either heroes or villains. Joseph Kinmont Hart, as Boyles and Potts clearly demonstrate in this original and compelling biography, was neither. However, Hart was deeply committed to living out his ideals through thoughtful action, deliberate provocation, and deep conviction. As an early advocate for community reform, academic freedom, and adult education, Hart was a contentious figure who accumulated both enemies and friends during his storied career. Boyles and Potts skillfully portray his complicated life with balance and insight. Thomas Fallace, William Paterson University of New Jersey

Book Synopsis Latham and the History of Humane Education by : Phil Arkow
Download or read book Latham and the History of Humane Education written by Phil Arkow and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edith Latham was a woman ahead of her time. To resist the cruelty and violence that she saw in the world around her in 1918, she and her brother established the Latham Foundation for the Promotion of Humane Education. But what, exactly, is humane education? Edith once said, "The best definition I can think of is 'the exercise of Christianity extended to all creatures.'" From humane education's theological and philosophical underpinnings to its history in the United States; from the Latham Foundation's role in that new social movement to current strategies and directions for the future, this fascinating book has it all. Author Phil Arkow examined the Foundation's almost 100 years of detailed archives to discover pivotal points in its history. He presents those historical junctures here in a concise, powerful, and inspiring fashion.

Book excerpt: In this in-depth, watershed volume, James Youniss and John J. Convey call for an immediate reexamination of Catholic schools, one focused closely on the problems endemic to the schools themselves instead of how they have impacted political issues, such as vouchers and school choice. In their timely contribution to this effort, the editors have compiled essays that explore how Catholic schools can retain their historical character while adapting to the demographic, personnel, and financial pressures confronting them at the turn of the millennium. Written by eminent researchers and scholars in the field of Catholic education, these essays provide insightful analysis and a wealth of new data to illuminate the challenges and strategies that help Catholic schools achieve their goals. This seminal volume uncovers the complex evolution of Catholic schools and looks toward their future. It will interest educators and anyone concerned with the development and well-being of parochial schools.
