What Makes Writing Academic Rethinking Theory for Practice

Julia Molinari, Independent Scholar, UK

This open access book argues that what makes writing academic emerges from socio-academic and historical practices rather than conventionalised stylistic, linguistic or syntactic forms Using a critical realist lens, it re-imagines academic writings as 21st-century open systems that change according to affordances perceived by writers The book proposes that academic writings be re-imagined as multimodal artefacts that harness a wider range of epistemic affordances

Knowing from the Inside Cross-Disciplinary Experiments with Matters of Pedagogy

Edited by Tim Ingold, University of Aberdeen, Scotland

We know the world from the inside of our being in it Drawing on the fields of anthropology, art, architecture and education, this book addresses what knowing from the inside means for practices of teaching and learning If knowledge grows from our relations with people, places and materials, then how can there be such a thing as a curriculum? What forms could it take? And what could it mean to place such disciplines as anthropology, art and architecture at its heart? In addressing these questions, the book’s 14 contributors challenge mainstream thinking and experiment with radically alternative approaches to education

Peter Hitchens argues that in trying to bring about an egalitarian educational system, politicians have created a system that is the exact opposite An in-depth look at the British education system and what will happen if things don’t change radically

Perceptions and Implications

Edited by Ruth Wills, Liverpool Hope University, UK, Marian de Souza, Federation University, Australia, Jennifer Mata-McMahon, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA, Mukhlis Abu Bakar, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore & Cornelia Roux, Stellenbosch University, South Africa

The contributors explore the impact that globalization and pluralism are having on the way most children and adolescents grow into early adulthood They look at the influences of media and technology that can be felt within the living spaces of their homes, competing with the religious and cultural influences of family and community, and consider the ways many children and adolescents have developed multiple and virtual identities which help them to respond to different circumstances and contexts They discuss the ways that many children find themselves in a perpetual state of shifting identities without ever being firmly grounded in one, potentially leading to tension and confusion particularly when there is conflict between one identity and another, resulting in increased anxiety and diminished self-esteem This book explores how parents, educators and social and health workers have a raised awareness of the issues generated by plural identities and the overpowering human need to belong so that they can address associated issues and nurture a sense of wholeness in children and adolescents as they grow into early adulthood

Sociological Foundations of Education

Edited by Claire Maxwell, Miri Yemini & Laura Engel

The third volume in the Educational Foundations series introduces sociology as a foundational discipline of education Sociologists study education in its broadest sense – as a central structuring mechanism in shaping societies, occurring within families, communities and provided by institutions The purposes of formal education are contested and these contestations influence broader power relations locally, nationally and globally Sociologists disaggregate processes within education to examine empirically and theoretically the various levels at which they operate This allows them to describe and make sense of the ways that relations of inequality are developed, reproduced or unsettled and how these shape individual and group experiences and outcomes
