Book Synopsis The Objects That Remain by : Laura Levitt
Download or read book The Objects That Remain written by Laura Levitt and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a November evening in 1989, Laura Levitt was raped in her own bed. Her landlord heard the assault taking place and called 911, but the police arrived too late to apprehend Laura’s attacker. When they left, investigators took items with them—a pair of sweatpants, the bedclothes—and a rape exam was performed at the hospital. However, this evidence was never processed. Decades later, Laura returns to these objects, viewing them not as clues that will lead to the identification of her assailant but rather as a means of engaging traumatic legacies writ large. The Objects That Remain is equal parts personal memoir and fascinating examination of the ways in which the material remains of violent crimes inform our experience of, and thinking about, trauma and loss. Considering artifacts in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and evidence in police storage facilities across the country, Laura’s story moves between intimate trauma, the story of an unsolved rape, and genocide. Throughout, she asks what it might mean to do justice to these violent pasts outside the juridical system or through historical empiricism, which are the dominant ways in which we think about evidence from violent crimes and other highly traumatic events. Over the course of her investigation, the author reveals how these objects that remain and the stories that surround them enable forms of intimacy. In this way, she models for us a different kind of reckoning, where justice is an animating process of telling and holding.
Book Synopsis The Rise of Women by : Thomas A. DiPrete
Download or read book The Rise of Women written by Thomas A. DiPrete and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While powerful gender inequalities remain in American society, women have made substantial gains and now largely surpass men in one crucial arena: education. Women now outperform men academically at all levels of school, and are more likely to obtain college degrees and enroll in graduate school. What accounts for this enormous reversal in the gender education gap? In The Rise of Women: The Growing Gender Gap in Education and What It Means for American Schools, Thomas DiPrete and Claudia Buchmann provide a detailed and accessible account of women’s educational advantage and suggest new strategies to improve schooling outcomes for both boys and girls. The Rise of Women opens with a masterful overview of the broader societal changes that accompanied the change in gender trends in higher education. The rise of egalitarian gender norms and a growing demand for college-educated workers allowed more women to enroll in colleges and universities nationwide. As this shift occurred, women quickly reversed the historical male advantage in education. By 2010, young women in their mid-twenties surpassed their male counterparts in earning college degrees by more than eight percentage points. The authors, however, reveal an important exception: While women have achieved parity in fields such as medicine and the law, they lag far behind men in engineering and physical science degrees. To explain these trends, The Rise of Women charts the performance of boys and girls over the course of their schooling. At each stage in the education process, they consider the gender-specific impact of factors such as families, schools, peers, race and class. Important differences emerge as early as kindergarten, where girls show higher levels of essential learning skills such as persistence and self-control. Girls also derive more intrinsic gratification from performing well on a day-to-day basis, a crucial advantage in the learning process. By contrast, boys must often navigate a conflict between their emerging masculine identity and a strong attachment to school. Families and peers play a crucial role at this juncture. The authors show the gender gap in educational attainment between children in the same families tends to be lower when the father is present and more highly educated. A strong academic climate, both among friends and at home, also tends to erode stereotypes that disconnect academic prowess and a healthy, masculine identity. Similarly, high schools with strong science curricula reduce the power of gender stereotypes concerning science and technology and encourage girls to major in scientific fields. As the value of a highly skilled workforce continues to grow, The Rise of Women argues that understanding the source and extent of the gender gap in higher education is essential to improving our schools and the economy. With its rigorous data and clear recommendations, this volume illuminates new ground for future education policies and research.

Book Synopsis The Practice of Change by : Kerrissa Heffernan
Download or read book The Practice of Change written by Kerrissa Heffernan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2000 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, 17th in a series of monographs on service-learning and the academic disciplines, discusses the role of service learning as part of women's studies. Essays discuss the ways that the ideology of service has allowed the devaluation of service work, and they consider the importance of service learning for the student as well as the community. Many of these authors call into question the notion that service learning exists to assist those identified as "lacking" in some aspect. Women's studies offers the possibility of turning questions of inequity into activist practice. The chapters are: (1) "On Critical Thinking and Connected Knowing" (Blythe McVicker Clinchy); (2) "Educating the Artist: A Political Statement" (S. A. Bachman with D. Attyah); (3) "A Feminist Challenge to Community Service: A Call To Politicize Service-Learning" (Tobi Walker); (4) "The History of Women and Service in the United States: A Rich and Complex Heritage" (Helen Damon-Moore); (5) "Service-Learning and Women's Studies: A Community College Perspective" (Karen Bojar); (6) "The 'Different Voice' of Service" (Catherine Ludlum Foos); (7) "Learning across Boundaries: Women's Studies, Praxis, and Community Service" (Mary Trigg and Barbara J. Balliet); (8) "Women's Studies and Community-Based Service Learning: A Natural Affinity" (Patricia A. Washington); (9) "Educated in Agency: Student Reflections on the Feminist Service-Learning Classroom" (Melissa Kesler Gilbert); (10) "The Urban Educational Initiative: Supporting Educational Partnerships with Young, Urban Girls" (Kimberly Farah and Kerrissa Heffernan); (11) "Women, AIDS, and Social Justice: An Autobiography of Activism and Academia" (Sally Zierler); (12) "TCBY in Limon, Costa Rica: Women's Studies and the (Re)construction of Identity in International Service-Learning" (Debra J. Liebowitz); (13) "'Civic Character' Engaged: Adult Learners and Service-Learning" (Eve Allegra Raimon and Jan L. Hitchcock); and (14) "Resolving a Conundrum: Incorporating Service-Learning into a Women and the Law Course" (Mary Pat Treuthart). An appendix contains a bibliography of 70 items and a list of contributors to the volume. (SLD)

This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global society has always been impacted by the perception of gender. While gender roles may differ in certain cultures, many cultures around the world have allowed for the disempowerment and objectification of women. Women today still struggle for gender equality whether it be professionally, socially, or even legally. To examine feminism thoroughly, however, thorough analysis must be conducted on all genders and perceptions. The Research Anthology on Feminist Studies and Gender Perceptions explores the application of feminist theory and women empowerment in the 21st century and the role that gender plays in society. This book analyzes media representation, gender performativity, and theory to present a comprehensive view of gender and society. Covering topics such as masculinity, women empowerment, and gender equality, this two-volume comprehensive major reference work is an essential resource for sociologists, community leaders, human resource managers, activists, students and professors of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
