Normalitäten in Bewegung: Rekonstruktion narrativer Identität psychiatrisch Pflegender (Sozialwissenschaftliche Gesundheitsforschung)
by Nicole DuveneckAllgegenwärtig ist das Erzählen von Geschichten in der psychiatrischen Pflege. Zu pflegende Menschen, An- und Zugehörige wie auch professionell Pflegende erzählen fortwährend Geschichten – Geschichten über sich und ihr Leben zumal. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt die Selbst- bzw. Lebensgeschichten psychiatrisch Pflegender in den Blick und geht der Frage nach, wie die als psychiatrisch Pflegende bezeichneten Personen ihre narrative Identität konstruieren. Anhand autobiographisch-narrativer Interviews rekonstruiert Nicole Duveneck das zentrale sinnstiftende Strukturmuster der Identitätskonstruktion und entwickelt ein Modell, das die personale narrative Identität psychiatrisch Pflegender als einen die Normalität wandelnden und zugleich erhaltenden Prozess erfasst. Dieses Ergebnis verweist auf die ungebrochene Wirkmacht der Normalität im psychiatrischen Versorgungssystem und fordert – ob der mit der Normalität verbundenen exkludierenden Praktiken – zum kritischen Diskurs über und für eine gute psychiatrische Pflege auf.

North American and European Perspectives on Sustainability in Higher Education (World Sustainability Series)
by Walter Leal Filho Julie Newman Amanda Lange Salvia Laura Corazza Laís Viera TrevisanThe scientific, cultural and diplomatic relations between Europe and its partners in North America are very strong. From a scientific point of view, this long-standing cooperation has taken place across a wide range of areas. They include the field of sustainability, where North America and Europe are working hand in hand, seeking solutions to the many regional and global problems currently faced. Against this backdrop and in order to facilitate a broad discussion on the contribution of higher education institutions from both sides of the Atlantic towards a more sustainable future, this book is being produced. The book gathers inputs from universities and research organizations on the one hand, but also from companies and enterprises on the other, from Europe and North America, working on matters related to sustainable development in a higher education context. It also provides a platform for the dissemination of information on the latest initiatives, paving the way for technology transfer and networking. Furthermore, the book intends to provide a fertile basis upon which European and North American organizations may cooperate more closely in this key area. Last but not least, a further aim of the book is to present methodological approaches and experiences deriving from case studies and projects, which aim to show how sustainability in North America and in Europe may be enhanced in practice.

Northern Lights on Civic and Citizenship Education: A Cross-national Comparison of Nordic Data from ICCS (IEA Research for Education #11)
by Bryony Hoskins Heidi Biseth Lihong HuangThis open access book presents an in-depth analysis of data from ICCS. An international group of scholars critically address the state of civic and citizenship education in the four Nordic countries that participated in the IEA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) in 2009 and 2016. The findings are of particular relevance to educators at all levels, from school education through to teacher education.Nordic countries have long traditions of democracy and their students have performed relatively well in the ICCS assessments. Nonetheless, citizenship education continues to evolve and has received increasing attention in recent educational reforms, indicating policymakers understanding that schools play an important role in establishing democratic values among future citizens.Data from ICCS can be used to analyze, discuss, and reflect on the status of civic and citizenship education and can contribute to the discourse on the potential role of education in contributing to sustainable democracies for a common future. However, teaching citizenship and learning democracy are two different things. While young people can be taught about democracy in school, it is vital that schools work together with the wider community in which youth operate to strengthen civic understanding and values for all young people regardless of their social and economic background.

Not Alone: LGB Teachers Organizations from 1970 to 1985 (New Directions in the History of Education)
by Jason MayernickBetween 1970 and 1985, lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) educators publicly left their classroom closets, formed communities, and began advocating for a place of openness and safety for LGB people in America's schools. They fought for protection and representation in the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers, as well as building community and advocacy in major gay and lesbian teacher organizations in New York, Los Angeles, and Northern California. In so doing, LGB teachers went from being a profoundly demonized and silenced population that suffered as symbolically emblematic of the harmful “bad teacher” to being an organized community of professionals deserving of rights, capable of speaking for themselves, and often able to reframe themselves as “good teachers.” This prescient book shows how LGB teachers and their allies broadened the boundaries of professionalism, negotiated for employment protection, and fought against political opponents who wanted them pushed out of America's schools altogether.
