Stopping Gender-based Violence in Higher Education: Policy, Practice, and Partnerships
by Graham J. Towl Clarissa J. HumphreysStopping Gender-based Violence in Higher Education provides a unique insight into how gender-based violence at universities is impacting students and staff and outlines the path toward tangible changes that can prevent it. Bringing together perspectives from academics, activists, practitioners, and university administrators, the book presents a diverse range of voices to constructively critique the field. Structured in three parts, the book begins by addressing the context, theory, and law that stipulates how universities can effectively respond to reports of gender-based violence. It goes on to discuss the most pragmatic ways to address the issue while contributing to prevention and supporting victim-survivors. Finally, the book advocates for the development of beneficial working partnerships with key external services available to university communities and also working with students as partners in an ethical and safe way. Throughout the book, contributors are invited to demonstrate a comprehensive institution-wide and trauma-informed approach to centre the needs of the victim-survivor and prioritize resources to undertake this vital work. Each chapter ends with a brief summary of key points or recommendations and suggested further reading on the chapter topic. Although the authors draw on research and policy from the UK Higher Education sector, the insights will be a useful resource for those in universities around the world. This book is an essential reference point and resource for professionals, academics, and students in Higher Education, as well as indispensable reading for activists, policymakers, police, rape crisis groups, and other organisations supporting these universities who want to make meaningful change in reducing, responding to, and preventing gender-based violence in Higher Education.

Stoppt die Kompetenzkatastrophe!: Wege in eine neue Bildungswelt
by John Erpenbeck Werner SauterDieses Buch zeigt Ihnen, warum unsere Gesellschaft in eine Kompetenzkatastrophe schlittertJohn Erpenbeck und Werner Sauter vertreten in diesem Buch eine radikale These: Unsere Gesellschaft wird von der Kompetenzkatastrophe überrollt. Seit der ersten Auflage dieser Streitschrift haben sich wirkungsstarke Initiativen entwickelt, um Lösungen für die aktuellen Herausforderungen in der Bildung zu entwickeln und umzusetzen. Hinzu kommen unzählige richtungsweisende Einzelprojekte von engagierten Lehrern, Dozenten oder der betrieblichen Aus- und Weiterbildung. Doch aus Sicht der Autoren ist das noch nicht genug – im Gegenteil. Sie sind der Meinung, die Situation habe sich noch deutlich zugespitzt. Vor allem mit Blick auf die Digitalisierung stellen Erpenbeck und Sauter in diesem Werk neue Anforderungen an das Bildungssystem. Jedoch blockierten Schulen, Hochschulen und berufliche Bildung mehrheitlich die notwendige Entwicklung einer neuen Werte- und Kompetenzgesellschaft. Daher analysieren beide Autoren in diesem Buch die von Ihnen proklamierte Kompetenzkatastrophe, weisen auf innovative Wege zu ihrer Überwindung hin und fordern konkrete Bildungsreformen für die Gesellschaft. Mit diesen Impulsen wenden Sie die Katastrophe noch rechtzeitig abIm ersten Abschnitt dieses Buchs beschreiben John Erpenbeck und Werner Sauter, wie sie den Begriff Kompetenzkatastrophe definieren und stellen dieses Konzept der Wissenskatastrophe gegenüber. In den anschließenden Kapiteln setzen sich die Autoren u. a. mit diesen Aspekten und Fragestellungen auseinander:Wissensblödigkeit und KompetenzintelligenzKannten unsere Altvorderen keine Kompetenzen?Kompetenzentwicklung und PISAWissensweitergabe oder Kompetenzentwicklung an UniversitätenKann man Kompetenz lehren?Gehirn, Gehirnmechanik und SelbstorganisationInformations-, Wissens- und Kompetenzgesellschaft Für die Autoren stellt das bisherige Konzept des Bildungssystems – nämlich Wissens- statt Kompetenzweitergabe – eine große Gefahr dar. Mit diesem Werk fordern Erpenbeck und Sauter, in den Lehrplänen und damit auch in Unterrichtsformen aller Art Eigenverantwortung und Selbstorganisation stärker in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken. Denn nur unter realen Anwendungssituationen könnten sich Fähigkeiten ausbilden. Auf diese Weise liefert Ihnen dieses Buch konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen, um die Kompetenzkatastrophe schnellstmöglich aufzuhalten.

Stories I Forgot to Tell You
by Dorothy GallagherA delicate and darkly witty reflection on loss, marriage, writing, and life in New York from an acclaimed biographer and memoirist.Dorothy Gallagher&’s husband, Ben Sonnenberg, died in 2010. He had suffered from multiple sclerosis for many years and was almost completely paralyzed, but his wonderful, playful mind remained quite undimmed. In the ten sections of Stories I Forgot to Tell You, Gallagher moves freely and intuitively between the present and the past to evoke the life they made together and her life after his death, alone and yet at the same time never without thoughts of him, in a present that is haunted but also comforted by the recollection of their common past. She talks—the whole book is written conversationally, confidingly, unpretentiously—about small things, such as moving into a new apartment and setting it up, growing tomatoes on a new deck, and as she does she recalls her missing husband&’s elegant clothes and British affectations, what she knew about him and didn&’t know, the devastating toll of his disease and the ways they found to deal with it. She talks about their two dogs and their cat, Bones, and the role that a photograph she never took had in bringing her together with her husband. Her mother, eventually succumbing to dementia, is also here, along with friends, an old typewriter, episodes from a writing life, and her husband&’s last days. The stories Gallagher has to tell, as quirky as they are profound, could not be more ordinary, and yet her glancing, wry approach to memory and life gives them an extraordinary resonance that makes the reader feel both the logic and the mystery of a couple&’s common existence. Her prose is perfectly pitched and her eye for detail unerring. This slim book about irremediable loss and unending love distills the essence of a lifetime.

Stories of Love from Vikings to Tinder: The Evolution of Modern Mating Ideologies, Dating Dysfunction, and Demographic Collapse (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature)
by Mads LarsenIncreasing levels of singledom, dating dysfunction, and sexual inactivity contribute to plummeting fertility rates. This book investigates the perhaps most foundational factor behind this uncoupling: our present era’s ideology of love. Throughout human history, communities have shared fictional stories infused with various mating moralities that compel people to pair-bond and reproduce. After taking readers on a 6-million-year journey through hominin mating regimes—with various extents of promiscuity, polygyny, and monogamy—Stories of Love from Vikings to Tinder investigates the past millennium's radical evolution of Western mating beliefs. Nordic literary works illuminate the pivotal transitions between the West’s First, Second, and Third Sexual Revolutions, which occurred around the years 1200, 1750, and 1968. The conclusion chapter points to the Fourth Sexual Revolution, symbolically placed in 2029. Artificial intelligence and other technologies seem likely to transform our mating practices more radically than any of the previous revolutions.

Story Genius: How to Use Brain Science to Go Beyond Outlining and Write a Riveting Novel (Before You Waste Three Years Writing 327 Pages That Go Nowhere)
by Lisa CronFollowing on the heels of Lisa Cron's breakout first book, Wired for Story, this writing guide reveals how to use cognitive storytelling strategies to build a scene-by-scene blueprint for a riveting story. It's every novelist's greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot). Story coach Lisa Cron has spent her career discovering why these these methods don't work and coming up with a powerful alternative, based on the science behind what our brains are wired to crave in every story we read (and it's not what you think). In Story Genuis Cron takes you, step-by-step, through the creation of a novel from the first glimmer of an idea, to a complete multilayered blueprint--including fully realized scenes--that evolves into a first draft with the authority, richness, and command of a riveting sixth or seventh draft.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Story Listening and Experience in Early Childhood
by Patrick Ryan Donna SchattThis book shows connections between oral story listening and unique, enduring educational effects in and outside of the classroom. Using scientific studies and interviews, as well as personal observations from more than thirty years in schools and libraries, the authors examine learning outcomes from frequent story listening.

Story Writing in a Nursing Home: A Patchwork of Memories
by Martha A JohnBased on the belief that older people have good stories to tell, Story Writing in a Nursing Home was developed as part of a volunteer teaching service to a nursing home. Graduate students who were learning to teach this special population conducted story writing activities with older adults and found that even the frail elderly who are confined to nursing centers provided a unique perspective about events that emphasize the lasting verities in life. The idea of a patchwork was derived from one of the lessons taught and was suggested by one of the older participants who said, “We’re sort of like a patchwork quilt.” The information, memories, and humor the elderly see in situations is worth recording. In addition, Story Writing in a Nursing Home emphasizes the way to develop the mental stimulation that is so important for physical well being. This sensitive and insightful book provides a lesson plan outline and the type of content that was used as an example. It also provides a running commentary in the form of a diary that tells how to begin a teaching program for nursing center residents. Students and professionals interested in implementing a similar program can use these ideas for planning and for organizing the use of student help to better serve the population. Fascinating reading, this book includes stories by frail elderly people, lesson plans, tips on working with administrators in a nursing center, and reasons for providing instruction. Teachers, volunteers, librarians, gerontology/sociology students, and others concerned with the well-being of the elderly will refer often to this instructive volume.

by Lisa Cron&“A practical, heartfelt manual for anyone who needs to change minds and actions. Lisa Cron shares the art of practical empathy with leaders who care enough to make a difference.&”—Seth Godin, author of The Practice A step-by-step guide to using the brain&’s hardwired need for story to achieve any goal, from the author of Wired for Story Whether you&’re pitching a product, saving the planet, or convincing your kids not to text and drive, story isn&’t just one way to persuade. It&’s the way. It&’s built into the architecture of the brain, and has been since early humans gathered around the camp fire, trying to figure out how to outsmart the lion next door.In Story or Die, story coach Lisa Cron sets out to decode the power of story, first by examining how the brain processes information, translates it into narrative, and then guards it as if your life depends on it. Armed with that insight, she focuses on how to find your real target audience and then pinpoint their hidden resistance. Finally, she takes you, step-by-step, through the creation of your own story, one that allows your audience to overcome their resistance and take up your call to action, not because you told them to, but because they want to.That is the power of story. Use it wisely.
