Rationing Education (UK Higher Education OUP Humanities & Social Sciences Education OUP)
by David Gillborn Deborah Youdell"This research should make us extremely sceptical that the constant search for 'higher standards' and for ever-increasing achievement scores can do much more than put in place seemingly neutral devices for restratification." - Michael W Apple, John Bascom Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin, MadisonRecent educational reforms have raised standards of achievement but have also resulted in growing inequalities based on 'race' and social class. School-by-school 'league tables' play a central role in the reforms. These have created an A-to-C economy where schools and teachers are judged on the proportion of students attaining five or more grades at levels A-to-C. To satisfy these demands schools are embracing new and ever more selective attempts to identify 'ability'. Their assumptions and practices embody a new IQism: a simple , narrow and regressive ideology of intelligence that labels working class and minority students as likely failures and justifies rationing provision to support those (often white, middle class boys) already marked for success.This book reports detailed research in two secondary schools showing the real costs of reform in terms of the pressures on teachers and the rationing of educational opportunity. It will be important reading for any teacher, researcher or policymaker with an interest in equality in education.

Rattling Chains: Exploring Social Justice in Education (Transgressions #89)
by Louis G. Denti Patricia A. WhangRattling Chains: Exploring Social Justice in Education, is the first book to provide an opportunity to intentionally and deeply grapple with the insights, perceptions, and provocations offered by a rich array of prominent and influential voices in the field of education. The first part of the title, Rattling Chains, signifies the importance of keeping the issue of social justice reverberating in the minds of readers, while also working to unchain thinking from entrenched beliefs and unchallenged assumptions. More specifically, this collection of essays “shakes and rattles” by providing a variety of vantage points from which to wallow in the complex, tangled, and simultaneously revered and contested notion of social justice. It is hoped that mucking around in the thinking, perspectives, and actions of a variety of educational scholars challenges entrenched beliefs while unearthing provocative insights. Exploring issues of social justice from various standpoints is intended to lead to a more complex understanding of justice that is social, as well as its possibilities, potency, and resultant tensions.
Raum für Inklusion: Schule als Lernort für Alle gestalten und nutzen (Forschungsreihe der FH Münster)
by Jeanne Lengersdorf Anna HagemannDer Raum gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Gerade in Zeiten des pädagogischen Wandels und mit der Unterzeichnung der UN-Konvention über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderung rückt konstruktivistisch, inklusiv ausgelegte Didaktik in den Vordergrund schulischer Entwicklungen.

Raum, Zeit, Medienbildung: Untersuchungen zu medialen Veränderungen unseres Verhältnisses zu Raum und Zeit (Medienbildung und Gesellschaft #23)
by Gerhard Chr. Bukow Benjamin Jörissen Johannes FrommeTransformationen und Dynamisierung von Raum und Zeit können als Signum von Modernisierungsprozessen gelten – als Motor, als Problemfeld und als Gegenstand der Reflexion. Medien haben in verschiedenen Ausprägungen daran erheblichen Anteil, indem sie mit Raum und Zeit arbeiten, kulturelle und soziale Raum- und Zeitverhältnisse verändern und diese Veränderungen auch immer wieder selbst reflexiv zugänglich machen. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes fragen danach, was diese medialen Transformationen und Reflexionen für Bildung bedeuten, wie sie Subjektivierungs- oder Vergesellschaftungsweisen verändern und welche neuen Orientierungspotenziale und -anforderungen durch sie erzeugt werden.
Räume in der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung (Theorie und Empirie Lebenslangen Lernens)
by Wolfgang Seitter Timm C. FeldDie Raumthematik ist für die abschlussbezogene wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung in besonderer Weise virulent, da ihr berufs- und familienbegleitender Charakter zu spezifischen Herausforderungen und Effizienzerwartungen räumlich-distributiver Art auf unterschiedlichen didaktischen Ebenen führt. Dieser Sammelband fokussiert entsprechende Fragestellungen wie die Lokalisierung und lehr-/lernkulturelle Rahmung von Räumlichkeiten und den raumbezogenen Wechsel von Präsenz- und Onlinephasen sowie die Bedeutsamkeit des Selbststudiums und seiner lebensweltlichen Verortung. Thematisiert wird aber auch die Öffnung des hochschulischen Raums für neue Zielgruppen oder die institutionelle Einwurzelung der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung als reguläres Angebotssegment von Hochschulen.

Konflikte sind in der Regel belastend und deshalb wünschen wir uns Erklärungen und Auswege. Welche Dynamik nehmen Konflikte an und wie entwickeln sie sich? Was passiert mit uns, wenn wir in die Konfliktspirale eintreten. Wie verändert sich unser Denken, unsere Sicht auf die Dinge und unsere Interessen? Was macht der Konflikt mit uns und wie kommen wir wieder heraus aus dem Strudel? Darüber handelt dieses Buch. Es basiert auf wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen aus der Psychologie und der Konfliktforschung.
Rauschkonstruktionen: Eine qualitative Interviewstudie zur Konstruktion von Drogenrauschwirklichkeit
by Svenja KorteRausch und Drogengebrauch werden im hegemonialen Diskurs meist als Symptom für Sucht und Flucht negativ konstruiert. Dabei stellt sich jedoch beim näheren Betrachten des Rauschdiskurses ein durchaus interessantes Spannungsfeld dar: Auf der einen Seite erfährt das Thema Drogen und Rausch eine problematisierende Bewertung im herrschenden Diskurs und auf der anderen Seite wird der Rausch mit Hilfe von (legalen und illegalen) Drogen durch das Subjekt scheinbar doch immer wieder gesucht. Svenja Korte analysiert das Konstrukt Rausch, dessen Ausgestaltung, Bewertungen und Vorstellungen, die es bestimmen sowie die Funktionalität, die es erfährt.
Ravel the Decadent: Memory, Sublimation, and Desire
by Michael J. PuriThe music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), beloved by musicians and audiences since its debut, has been a difficult topic for scholars. The traditional stylistic categories of impressionism, symbolism, and neoclassicism, while relevant, have offered too little purchase on this fascinating but enigmatic work. In Ravel the Decadent, author Michael Puri provides an innovative and productive solution by locating the aesthetic origins of this music in the French Decadence and demonstrating the extension of this influence across the length of his oeuvre. From an array of Decadent topics Puri selects three--memory, sublimation, and desire--and uses them to delineate the content of this music, pinpoint its overlap with contemporary cultural discourse, and link it to its biographical context, as well as to create new methods altogether for the analysis and interpretation of music. Ravel the Decadent opens by defining the main concepts, giving particular attention to memory and decadence. It then stakes out contrasting modes of memory in this music: a nostalgic mode that views the past as forever lost, and a more optimistic one that imagines its resurrection and reanimation. Acknowledging Ravel's lifelong identity as a dandy--a figure that embodies the Decadence and its aspiration toward the sublime--Puri identifies possible moments of musical self-portraiture before stepping back to theorize dandyism in European musical modernism at large. He then addresses the dialectic between desire and its sublimation in the pairing of two genres--the bacchanal and the idyl--and leverages the central trio of concepts to offer provocative readings of Ravel's two waltz sets, the Valses nobles et sentimentales and La valse. Puri concludes by invoking the same terms to identify a topic of "faun music" that promises to create new common ground between Ravel and Debussy. Rife with close readings that will satisfy the musicologist, Ravel the Decadent also suits a more general reader through its broadly humanistic key concepts, immersion in contemporary art and literature, and clarity of language.

Ravished by Beauty: The Surprising Legacy of Reformed Spirituality
by Belden C. LaneIn this novel exploration of Reformed spirituality, Belden C. Lane uncovers a "green theology" that celebrates a community of jubilant creatures of all languages and species. Lane reveals an ecologically sensitive Calvin who spoke of himself as ''ravished'' by the earth's beauty. He speaks of Puritans who fostered a ''lusty'' spirituality in which Christ figured as a lover who encouraged meditation on the wonders of creation. He presents a Jonathan Edwards who urged a sensuous ''enjoyment'' of God's beauty as the only real way of knowing God. Lane argues for the ''double irony'' of Reformed spirituality, showing that Calvinists who often seem prudish and proper are in fact a people of passionate desire. Similarly, Reformed Christians who appear totally focused on divine transcendence turn out at times to be closet nature mystics, exulting in God's glory everywhere. Lane also demonstrates, however, that a spirituality of desire can be derailed, ending in sexual excess and pantheism. Ecologically, holy longing can be redirected from a contemplation of God's splendor in the earth's beauty to a craving for land itself, resulting in disastrous misuse of its resources. Between the major chapters of the book are engaging personal essays drawn from the author's own love of nature as a Reformed Christian, and providing a thoughtful discussion of contemporary issues of species diversity and the honoring of an earth community.

Raw Data: A Novel on Life in Science
by Pernille RørthChloe and Karen are ambitious and independent-minded young scientists, both trying to make their mark in the competitive world of biomedical science. They work in Tom Palmer’s lab at a top-tier research institute in the US. Life in the lab is full of excitement and passion, but also frustrations, jealousy and the fear of being scooped. When honesty and scientificintegrity are questioned in the context of a paper accepted at a prestigious journal, all are deeply affected and everyone must decide what actions to take to save their careers.The primary intent of this novel is to draw the reader into the lives of scientists and show what makes people of this profession – or vocation – “tick”.

It illuminates motivations behind disastrous events that can emerge when ambitions clash with the way science is supposed to work.The novel is complemented by an extensive interview with the author on defining features of contemporary bio-medical research: the challenges of turning discovery into publications (“publish or perish”), peer review, women in science and, of course, scientific misconduct. The latter has garnered growing attention lately, including high-profile stories in the popularpress, and is a source of concerns for scientists, funders and publishers alike.About the author: Pernille Rørth holds a PhD in cell biology and genetics. She has led research labs at top institutions in the US, in Europe and in Asia, including the Carnegie Institution for Science (Dept. Embryology) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). With 25 years as an active scientist, she is senior author of numerous research articles, including some in the most prestigious journals in biology. She also served as Executive Editor (Editor-in-Chief) of The EMBO Journal for 5 years. This is her first novel. She now lives in Copenhagen with her husband, also a scientist.
Rawls, Citizenship, and Education
by Victoria CostaThis book develops and applies a unified interpretation of John Rawls' theory of justice as fairness in order to clarify the account of citizenship that Rawls relies upon, and the kind of educational policies that the state can legitimately pursue to promote social justice. Costa examines the role of the family as the "first school of justice" and its basic contribution to the moral and political development of children. It also argues that schools are necessary to supplement the education that families provide, teaching the political virtues that support just social institutions. The book also examines the questions of whether civic education should aim at cultivating patriotic feelings, and how it should respond to the deep cultural pluralism of contemporary democratic societies.

Rawls, Dewey, and Constructivism: On the Epistemology of Justice (Continuum Studies in Political Philosophy)
by Eric Thomas WeberIn Rawls, Dewey, and Constructivism, Eric Weber examines and critiques John Rawls' epistemology and the unresolved tension - inherited from Kant - between Representationalism and Constructivism in Rawls' work. Weber argues that, despite Rawls' claims to be a constructivist, his unexplored Kantian influences cause several problems. In particular, Weber criticises Rawls' failure to explain the origins of conceptions of justice, his understanding of "persons" and his revival of Social Contract Theory. Drawing on the work of John Dewey to resolve these problems, the book argues for a rigorously constructivist approach to the concept of justice and explores the practical implications of such an approach for Education.

Raymond Brown, 'The Jews,' and the Gospel of John: From Apologia to Apology (The Library of New Testament Studies #504)
by Sonya Shetty CroninUntil the mid-1960s, most commentators of the Gospel of John were aware of a polemic against 'the Jews,' yet they did not consider it with reference to contemporary ethical discussion. A shift in focus in Johannine scholarship is noticeable from the mid-1960s and 1970s to the present, where commentators began to connect the Gospel's polemic against 'the Jews' with potential anti-Judaism in the text. As yet, very little work has been done to answer the question of how this change in sensitivity came about. This book is a historiography of one scholar's growing awareness of potential anti-Judaism in the Gospel of John with the intention of using this individual history to explain the larger trend in biblical studies. Sonya Cronin examines the published work of Raymond Brown, a prominent Catholic New Testament scholar, between the years 1960-1998. The book contextualizes Brown's work by evaluating the impact of ecclesiastical statements and the influence of earlier and contemporary Johannine scholarship on Brown's biblical interpretation, and then posits theories as to why change occurs at specific times.
Raymond Jonson and the Spiritual in Modernist and Abstract Painting (Routledge Research in Art History)
by Herbert R. Hartel, Jr.This is the most thorough and detailed monograph on the artwork of Raymond Jonson. He is one of many artists of the first half of the twentieth-century who demonstrate the richness and diversity of an under-appreciated period in the history of American art. Visualizing the spiritual was one of the fundamental goals of early abstract painting in the years before and during World War I. Artists turned to alternative spirituality, the occult, and mysticism, believing that the pure use of line, shape, color, light and texture could convey spiritual insight. Jonson was steadfastly dedicated to this goal for most of his career and he always believed that modernist and abstract styles were the most effective and compelling means of achieving it.
