Book Synopsis Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics by : Eric Gutstein
Download or read book Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics written by Eric Gutstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics education in the United States can reproduce social inequalities whether schools use either "basic-skills" curricula to prepare mainly low-income students of color for low-skilled service jobs or "standards-based" curricula to ready students for knowledge-intensive positions. And working for fundamental social change and rectifying injustice are rarely included in any mathematics curriculum. Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics argues that mathematics education should prepare students to investigate and critique injustice, and to challenge, in words and actions, oppressive structures and acts. Based on teacher-research, the book provides a theoretical framework and practical examples for how mathematics educators can connect schooling to a larger sociopolitical context and concretely teach mathematics for social justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book focuses on different social justice pedagogies and how they can work within standards and district mandates in a variety of English language arts classrooms.

Written for both pre- and inservice teachers, the text includes adaptable teaching models and tested ideas for preparing to teach for social justice. “This is an appealing vision for the future, for it bears much promise—for our classrooms, and also for the future our students will both shape and inhabit.” —From the Foreword by Deborah Appleman, Carleton College “Through the careful observation and analysis of three teachers with different approaches to teaching critical literacy, Ashley Boyd provides a repertoire of practices rich with detail.” —Hilary Janks, Wits University, South Africa “This important book counters the belief of so many teacher educators who think that social justice asks too much of teachers.” —George W. Noblit, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

What happens to a deferred dream—especially when an innocent man's life hangs in the balance? Langston Brown is running out of time and options for clearing his name and escaping death row. Wrongfully convicted of the gruesome Mother's Day Massacre, he prepares to face his death. His final hope for salvation lies with his daughter, Liza, an artist who dreamed of a life of music and song but left the prestigious Juilliard School to pursue a law degree with the intention of clearing her father's name. Just as she nears success, it's announced that Langston will be put to death in thirty days. In a desperate bid to find freedom for her father, Liza enlists the help of Eli Stone, a jazz club owner she met at the classic Five Points venue, The Roz. Devastated by the tragic loss of his wife, Eli is trying to find solace by reviving the club…while also wrestling with the longing to join her in death.

Book Synopsis In the Pursuit of Justice by : Mariana Souto-Manning
Download or read book In the Pursuit of Justice written by Mariana Souto-Manning and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even from the earliest grades, children have the rights to read and write--not just in dominant American English, but also in their own languages and dialects. Historically narrow definitions of reading and writing, however, often prevent children of color and immigrants from having access to texts that reflect their diverse cultures and backgrounds. Promoting an equitable and inclusive understanding of literacy, Mariana Souto-Manning and her teacher contributors explore how elementary teachers can welcome the voices and languages of their students into their classrooms in their pursuit of reading and writing experiences that showcase children's skills and practices. Eight New York City public school teachers illustrate how the principles detailed in two NCTE position statements--NCTE Beliefs about the Students' Right to Write and The Students' Right to Read--come alive in their diverse classroom settings. When teachers view the communities their students come from as assets to and in the school, children not only thrive through an inclusive curriculum, but they also gain confidence and belief in themselves as learners while developing a critical consciousness that can change the world.
Book Synopsis Writing and Rebellion by : Steven Justice
Download or read book Writing and Rebellion written by Steven Justice and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling account of the "peasants' revolt" of 1381, in which rebels burned hundreds of official archives and attacked other symbols of authority, Steven Justice demonstrates that the rebellion was not an uncontrolled, inarticulate explosion of peasant resentment but an informed and tactical claim to literacy and rule. Focusing on six brief, enigmatic texts written by the rebels themselves, Justice places the English peasantry within a public discourse from which historians, both medieval and modern, have thus far excluded them. He recreates the imaginative world of medieval villagers—how they worked and governed themselves, how they used official communications in unofficial ways, and how they produced a disciplined insurgent ideology.

Book Synopsis Judicial Imagination by : Lyndsey Stonebridge
Download or read book Judicial Imagination written by Lyndsey Stonebridge and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tells the story of the struggle to imagine new forms of justice after Nuremberg Returning to the work of Hannah Arendt as a theoretical starting point, Lyndsey Stonebridge traces a critical aesthetics of judgement in postwar writers and intellectuals, including Rebecca West, Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark and Iris Murdoch. Writing in the false dawn of a new era of international justice and human rights, these complicated women intellectuals were drawn to the law because of its promise of justice, yet critical of its political blindness and suspicious of its moral claims. Bringing together literary-legal theory with trauma studies, The Judicial Imagination argues that today we have much to learn from these writers' impassioned scepticism about the law's ability to legislate for the territorial violence of our times. Key Features *Returns to the work of Hannah Arendt as the starting point for a new theorisation of the relation between law and trauma * Provides a new context for understanding the continuities between late modernism and postwar writing through a focus on justice and human rights *Offers a model of reading between history, law and literature which focuses on how matters of style and genre articulate moral, philosophical and political ambiguities and perplexities *Makes a significant contribution to the rapidly developing fields of literary-legal and human rights studies
