Contemporary Perspectives on Girls’ Educational Achievement: What About the Girls? (Global Gender)
by null Alexandra AllanContemporary Perspectives on Girls’ Educational Achievement: What About the Girls? offers fresh insights into girls’ perceptions and experiences of educational achievement in the contemporary context.‘What about the boys?’ is a common exclamation in debates which centre around young people’s educational achievements. But what about the girls? Is their success as simple and straightforward as government produced figures would have us believe it to be? Bringing together the wealth of international research on girls’ educational achievement and drawing on insights from over 15 years of the author’s own empirical research, this book explores educational achievement as a phenomenon that is affectively and subjectively experienced, which has a much wider field of reference than attainment in tests and examinations. It addresses key issues which are of emerging contemporary relevance – issues that are new, have been overlooked, or have gained new significance and require fresh exploration today.Contemporary Perspectives on Girls’ Educational Achievement: What About the Girls? is suitable for students and academic researchers from a range of disciplines such as Education, Psychology, Sociology, Cultural and Media Studies, as well as for educational practitioners with an interest in equalities in education.
Suspension in Epistemology and Beyond (Routledge Studies in Epistemology)
by Verena Wagner Alexandra ZinkeThis is the first volume dedicated to suspension of judgment. It features cutting-edge research from leading scholars on one of the main areas of contemporary epistemology and neighboring fields. The contributors examine the concept of suspension from various perspectives, encompassing historical and contemporary approaches, its nature and normativity, and its relationship to other philosophical concepts as well as interdisciplinary applications. They address a wide range of crucial issues, including but not limited to: What is the nature of suspension? Can we suspend judgment voluntarily? Is there more than one kind of suspension? What are the norms for suspension? What is the relation between epistemic and prudential norms for suspension? What is the logic of suspension and how can we formally represent different forms of suspension? What is the role of suspension for rational decision? What is the relation of suspension of judgment and abstention of action? What is the relation between suspension and inquiry? How does suspension relate to doubt, ignorance, and indecision? How does the Pyrrhonian notion of suspension of judgment relate to modern accounts? Suspension in Epistemology and Beyond will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and history of philosophy.
The Hebrew Bible in Contemporary Fiction and Poetry
by Lena-Sofia TiemeyerThis book discusses 20th- and 21st-centuries’ literary retellings of biblical texts, focusing on how fiction and poetry fill the extant narrative gaps present in the often-sparse biblical accounts and align the narratives with theological and/or cultural expectations of modern interpreting communities.The chapters, written by an international group of scholars, explore biblical retellings in a variety of modern languages, ranging from Korean and Chinese to Hebrew and Arabic. Most of the contributions deal with retellings of the narrative books (Genesis, Exodus, Judges, Ruth, 1–2 Samuel, Daniel), but a few are devoted to prophetic (Hosea) and poetic (Psalms) ones. Another set of articles looks beyond specific biblical books and instead analyses how the Bible has been retold in different literary genres (Children and YA literature, sci-fi and fantasy, Christian Inspiration fiction) and in modern political discourse (North and South Korea). All the chapters further highlight how literary retellings of the Bible form two-way movements. They reveal the often-subversive quality of literary retellings: retellings not only emphasise those nuances in the biblical texts that create unease but also problematise their standpoint and question their moral and theological message.The Hebrew Bible in Contemporary Fiction and Poetry is suitable for students and scholars of biblical studies working on intertextuality and reception history. It is also of interest to those working on comparative literature, particularly with regards to the Hebrew Bible in popular culture and literature.
Human Factors Analysis of 23 Cyberattacks (The Human Element in Smart and Intelligent Systems)
by null Abbas MoallemAs cyber threat actors have become more sophisticated, data breaches, phishing attacks, and ransomware are increasing, and the global cybercrime damage in 2021 was $16.4 billion a day. While technical issue analyses are fundamental in understanding how to improve system security, analyzing the roles of human agents is crucial. Human Factors Analysis of 23 Cyberattacks addresses, through examples, the human factors behind cybersecurity attacks.Focusing on human factors in individual attack cases, this book aims to understand the primary behaviors that might result in the success of attacks. Each chapter looks at a series of cases describing the nature of the attack through the reports and reviews of the experts, followed by the role and human factors analysis. It investigates where a human agent's intervention was a factor in starting, discovering, monitoring, or suffering from the attacks. Written in an easy-to-understand way and free from technical jargon, the reader will develop a thorough understanding of why cyberattacks occur and how they can be mitigated by comparison to the practical examples provided.This title will appeal to students and practitioners in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, cybersecurity, computer engineering, industrial engineering, and computer science.
Lecturing Women in British Fiction, Periodicals and Public Orality, 1870–1910: The First Speech (The Nineteenth Century Series)
by null Anne-Julia ZwierleinThis book examines the emergence of women as audiences and speakers on the British metropolitan lecture circuit and in mass print representations from 1870 to 1910. Bringing together research on Victorian lecturing, periodicals, voice studies and the cultural history of feminism, it sheds new light on the interdependence of orality and print and the rise of the British women’s movement.Sifting through the archives of lecture institutions (the Birkbeck Literary and Scientific Institution, the London Institution and the Royal Institution), penny fiction weeklies and feminist weeklies, New Woman and suffrage novels, autobiographical writings and rhetorical manuals, this book reconstructs the changing mediascape of late Victorian London and treats speech events, in print and on site, as catalysts for democratic participation. Undertaking an archaeology of women’s presence in the lecture hall, it explores conservative fantasies in fiction of the female speaking automaton alongside new writings that transformed women orators from objects of sensation into public agents. By analysing women’s collective self-education in rhetoric and elocution, this book traces the emergence in political fictions of key narrative tropes of oral performance: the surprise encounter in the lecture hall, the moment of conversion during a lecture and the symbolic ‘first speech’ of new suffrage recruits.Drawing on new and extensive primary research, this book intervenes in several flourishing fields of inquiry: literary studies, oral culture studies, sound and voice studies, performance studies, periodical studies and Victorian and Edwardian cultural history.
Codes of Corruption: A Critical Realist Discourse Analysis of Illicit Transactions (Routledge Studies in Critical Realism)
by null Karin ZotzmannCorruption is expanding internationally and so are strategic accusations of others being corrupt. It has become quite common for some politicians and their supporters to make false accusations of corruption against opponents in order to win power. A precise understanding of the phenomenon is therefore urgently needed for economic and political governance. The phenomenon has so far been investigated from the disciplines of sociology, criminology, politics, and economics, but rarely with a focus on the actual negotiation of corrupt deals. This is mainly because access to these illegal, often discursively mediated, practices is highly complicated. Empirical studies have therefore either focused quantitatively on the number of cases that came to light or on perceptions of and attitudes towards the phenomenon.Codes of Corruption attempts to fill this gap. It draws on a corpus of videos and audio recordings from Mexico secretly recorded by individuals who were present at the time and later uploaded to a public streaming platform. This corpus was analyzed through a variety of analytical tools to show the interactional and discursive work participants engage in to come to an agreement and, at the same time, the structural configurations that enabled, constrained, and motivated the participants. To capture these multidimensional causal configurations and avoid the pitfalls of reductionism, the theoretical and methodological framework adopted in this research is based on the philosophy of Critical Realism.Through this innovative approach, the book aims to contribute to debates and emerging research agendas in the study of corruption and thus to further the conceptualization of the phenomenon, its causes, and potential remedies. Its results will be of interest to researchers in the above-mentioned disciplines as well as to those working in Critical Discourse Analysis, Critical Realism, Interactional Sociolinguistics, and Pragmatics. Codes of Corruption will also be of interest to a wider audience of governmental and non-governmental institutions that engage in the design of anti-corruption strategies, training, and education.

Understanding Spirituality and the Sacred in Social Work Practice: Spirited Conversations
by Mary Jo McVeigh Joel Hollier Jioji RavuloSocial work is constantly epistemically evolving and embracing diverse bodies of knowledge to inform its ontology and practice frameworks.Over the years, the impact of feminist, post-colonial, and queer theory, for example, has broadened the social work lens and invited a welcome departure from dominant Westernised, patriarchal, and positivist paradigms. However, the separation of the spiritual realm from casework, clinical, community, and group work traditions of social work remained steadfast. The last decade or so has seen forages into the issues of social work and spirituality. This examination into spirituality and social work has shown that for many service users, spiritual practices (be they religious or non-religious) are important in their lives and their way out of difficulties. Concurrently, relationships between socio-political movements and global religions have grown increasingly complex. To create a truly holistic approach to the needs of service users it is important that social work policy and practice give voice to these complexities and understand the place of spirituality within service delivery. This book critically reflects upon and discusses the intersecting role of spirituality in the lives of people who access social work services.By gathering contributions from people with lived experience, practitioners, and academics, this book will explore a comprehensive range of issues, opening the area of spirituality to current critical, socio-political, and cultural thought. It will be of interest to all social work scholars, students, and practitioners.
The Spiritual Resistance of Rabbi Leo Baeck: Psychoanalysis and Religion
by null Paul MarcusThe Spiritual Resistance of Rabbi Leo Baeck provides an overview of the life of Dr. Leo Baeck (1873–1956), a German-Jewish rabbi, theologian, historian and Holocaust survivor, from a psychoanalytic perspective.Paul Marcus approaches Baeck’s life and intellectual/theological contribution as it interfaces with a broadly defined psychoanalysis. This book describes and explains how Baeck maintained the rudiments of his autonomy, integration and humanity while remaining in Nazi Germany and while in the ghetto Theresienstadt, displaying astonishing courage, character, and goodness—a triumph of a civilized person amidst Nazi brutality. Marcus also considers psychic resilience and moral psychology and assesses contemporary criticisms of Baeck.The Spiritual Resistance of Rabbi Leo Baeck will be of interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, spirituality, Jewish studies and resistance. It will also appeal to psychoanalysts in training and in practice.
Conceptualizing Islam: Current Approaches (Routledge Studies in Religion)
by Frank Peter Paula Schrode Ricarda StegmannIn recent decades, academic debates on how to conceptualize ‘Islam’ as an object of study and how to approach it theoretically have been revitalized. Not only has research on Islam grown enormously and become much more differentiated, but Islam is also being discussed more intensively in society and politics than ever before.This reader, which brings together the perspectives of various disciplines, provides an overview of academic approaches to Islam against the backdrop of these, in some cases tense, entanglements. Through two contributions from scholars working on Buddhism and Hinduism, these debates are situated in the context of broader trajectories of research history. In sum, this book does not only offer its readers entry points to a more complex and refined understanding of Islam, but also to research processes within the study of Islam as well as religion in general.

Japanese Environmental Design and Management for Sustainable Urbanism: Learning from Satoyama (Planning, Heritage and Sustainability)
by Takashi ArigaThis book responds to the need to rehabilitate the holistic urban environment by introducing planning approaches which focus on the Japanese idea of “Satoyama.”“Sustainable development” has become a prime concern of planning, and society is expending great efforts to achieving this end. Appreciation of cities’ environmental assets has become more widely accepted and deeply taken to heart—not only by specialists, but also by citizens and communities. The balance between human settlements and the natural environment has changed. This has posed an environmental issue in that urban settlements engulf the greenbelts and water networks that help sustain the urban natural environment. Given these issues, we must consider a morphology toward creating a more sustainable urban system that regenerates the relationship between human settlements, utilizing the architectural resources within our urban fabric and its interaction with the surrounding natural environments. This book is a guide to the theory, methodologies and practical applications of environmental design and city and regional planning of regenerative systems toward sustainable urbanism. This book also explores the socio-cultural and economic implications of sustainable urbanism and examines urban forms, land use patterns and their built-up environments that can result from the applications.This book will appeal to a wide range of readers including researchers and students of architectural design, urban planning, heritage protection and sustainable development, but also professionals who are involved in improving the relationship of human settlements with natural resources.
Global Perspectives on Parental Acceptance and Rejection: Lessons Learned from IPARTheory (Studies in Parenting Series)
by Ronald P. Rohner Sumbleen AliGlobal Perspectives on Parental Acceptance and Rejection advances an understanding of the profound and lifelong effects that parental love (acceptance) and the absence of love (rejection) have on human development from childhood through to old age.It draws from interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory (IPARTheory), an evidence-based theory of socialization and lifespan development that focuses on the pancultural effects, causes, and other correlates of interpersonal acceptance-rejection throughout the lifespan. Edited by Ronald P. Rohner and Sumbleen Ali, contributions from leading scholars show how few experiences have as wide-ranging, significant, and predictable consequences for human behavior well-being as experiences of parental acceptance and rejection. Key topics of parental acceptance-rejection include long-term effects in childhood; adult intimate relationships; early life stress; parental alienation; child maltreatment; and forgiveness and vengeance. It also discusses the clinical implications and practical applications of IPARTheory.Providing vital information about parenting and human development worldwide, this book is essential for researchers, students, and practitioners in psychology, psychiatry, family sciences, sociology, human development, and the helping professions.
The Ontology of Ecological Cognition (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by null Konrad WernerThis book provides the first explicit examination of the underlying ontology of the ecological/embodied cognition philosophical project. More specifically, it examines the locative concepts used by defenders of representationalism and the more environmentally oriented, ecological/embodied views on cognition.The book’s main argument is that ecological/embodied cognition is embedded in various philosophical traditions. It establishes that there is a lack of clarity in how we conceptualize locative relations in contexts having to do with cognition. The book tackles questions of what it means that internal representations are internal, that the external world is external, that the extended mind is extended, how we should understand the claim that cognition and consciousness are in the head, or, alternatively, in the environment. Additionally, it addresses what it means that cognition enacts an environment, which is likely the most controversial claim made in some branches of embodied cognition. The goal of the book is to capture the essential traits of cognition thought of as an ecological phenomenon – as a factor determining a specific locus – and thereby elicit how cognition takes part in the creation of the world as we know it.The Ontology of Ecological Cognition will appeal to scholars and graduate students working in philosophy of mind, cognitive science and metaphysics.
Barth and Ecotheology: The Electing God and the Community of Creation (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by null Adrian LangdonBarth and Ecotheology offers a critical and constructive reading of Karl Barth’s theology in the context of the Anthropocene. It reflects on how a contemporary doctrine of creation must be broad enough to address issues such as climate change, colonialism and racism, sexism, as well as integrating modern science. Such a theology would resist the human domination of nature and the various forms of displacement occurring in modernity. With Barth, the author contends that a theology of creation grounded in the self-revelation of God in Jesus Christ is the best place to rethink what it means to be human and to exist within the community of creation. Nevertheless, if we are to affirm the livingness of the world, creaturely differences, and a central place for land and place, then critical additions to Barth are needed. To accomplish this, the book provides constructive reinterpretations of Barth’s theological method, doctrine of God, creation by the Word and Spirit, anthropology, and reconciliation. What emerges is a vision of the triune God of love as the source and ground of all that is. Along the way, Barth is brought into dialogue with ecotheology as well as theologians such as Wolfhart Pannenberg, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Bruce McCormack. The volume will be of particular interest to theologians focused on the doctrine of creation, ecotheology, and Barth studies.
The Seven Sigma Mindset: How to Escape the Habitual Thinking Trap and Rediscover Free Thinking
by null Andreas G. MoosdorfLearn to retrain your mind and become more creative and productive with this step-by-step guide to replacing habitual thinking with free thinking.Unless you can name six thoughts you had today that you haven’t had before, you are a habitual thinker 99.9% of the time, just like everyone else. This is because our hard-wired survivor bias drives us to repeat mental patterns and solutions that seemed sensible in the past, and that provide comfort, social rewards and a stable identity. This means that our thinking follows a Six Sigma distribution and that only a tiny fraction of our daily thoughts are truly novel and free, which prevents us from reaching the groundbreaking solutions we need to adapt to a fast-changing world. But in this book, Andreas G. Moosdorf guides you to perceive your own habitual thinking more clearly and explore the vast, untapped potential of your own mind. Through a wealth of exercises, readers will rediscover forgotten resources, perspectives, and choices, and be empowered to take back the wheel in their own work and lives.Ditch your mental maps, rediscover the seven sigma of your thinking, and dive into a forgotten world of variability, productivity and deeper satisfaction with the Seven Sigma Mindset.
Mattering Spiritualities: Performative Experiments for a Radical Imagining of the World Becoming (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies)
by Silvia Battista David MasonMattering Spiritualities brings together an array of international scholars and practitioners to explore spirituality in embodiment through the lens of performance, performative writing, and performance studies.The book concerns spirituality and takes the body as the site of whatever it is we call spirituality. The methodological assumption is that the opposition of body and spirit is a false binary that calls for re-examination and revision. It stems from the argument that people can deliberately shift their boundaries of perception and knowing through practice, technologies and performative techniques that can alter the way in which they perceive the ecologies in which they are embedded. This approach understands that careful attention to which bodies are performing in any given scenario is crucial, as is a sensitivity to the ramifications of any body’s race, gender, class, and biological ability. Performance can therefore be regarded as anything through which individuals and collectives experiment with bodies as technologies. Each chapter engages with such experiments to explore how bodies experience and relate to other bodies, human and other-than-human, but also how, by mobilizing bodies and changing relationships between them, practitioners can transform people, spaces and places, objects, ecologies large and small, and shift the borders-of-the-known. Such experiments can also reveal intersectional dynamics within given social, political, and biological borders offering new perspectives and angles of analysis.This collection intends to serve transdisciplinary studies and to support varied learning and teaching environments for undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD students.
Mexican Media Art, Ecologies, the Posthuman, and Politics (Routledge Research in Art and Politics)
by null Claudia Costa PedersonThis volume focuses on the connection between ecological thought and the technological arts in Mexico in order to challenge assumptions that ecological thought is a domain exclusive to the arts of the Global North and reconceive it as an inventive nexus of materialist speculations into a global posthuman world.Tracking the concept of ecology through a series of case studies taken from the histories of new media arts in Mexico over the last 50 years (from the mid-twentieth century to the present), this book differs from ecological art histories that either ignore technological art or associate it exclusively with the Global North. It includes artists and collectives working both in Mexico and transnationally and examines collaborative projects responding to anthropogenic environmental degradation in Mexico and elsewhere.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Latin American studies, media studies, and environmental studies.

Exploring Catholic Faith in Shakespearean Drama: Towards a Philosophy of Education (Routledge Research in Religion and Education)
by null David Torevell null Brandon Schneeberger null Luke TaylorThis pioneering study investigates the connection between Shakespeare and Catholic education. Its authors contend that Shakespeare’s plays explore Catholic understandings of human life in ways that remain relevant for Catholic educational institutions today.Through chapters focusing on ethical and existential themes – love, desire, the body, marriage, virginity, evil, finitude, jealousy, and lies – the authors demonstrate Shakespeare’s wide-ranging engagement with early modern Catholic belief and practice. At the same time, they argue that Shakespeare’s treatment of Catholic faith, through imaginative literature rather than magisterial discourse, and dramatically rather than didactically, provides a pedagogical model for contemporary teachers.The first volume to trace the relationship between a philosophy of Catholic education and Shakespearean drama, it will appeal strongly to all those working in Catholic educational settings, particularly those tasked with strengthening the mission of their institution, as well as to scholars and researchers of literacy education, religious education, and to those interested in the dynamic between education and drama.
