description:
To many people, abortion is an issue for which discussions and debates are frustrating and fruitless: it seems like no progress will ever be made towards any understanding, much less resolution or even compromise.

Judgments like these, however, are premature because some basic techniques from critical thinking, such as carefully defining words and testing definitions, stating the full structure of arguments so each step of the reasoning can be examined, and comparing the strengths and weaknesses of different explanations can help us make progress towards these goals.

When emotions run high, we sometimes need to step back and use a passion for calm, cool, critical thinking. This helps us better understand the positions and arguments of people who see things differently from us, as well as our own positions and arguments. And we can use critical thinking skills help to try to figure out which positions are best, in terms of being supported by good arguments: after all, we might have much to learn from other people, sometimes that our own views should change, for the better.

Here we use basic critical thinking skills to argue that abortion is typically not morally wrong. We begin with less morally-controversial claims: adults, children and babies are wrong to kill and wrong to kill, fundamentally, because they, we, are conscious, aware and have feelings. We argue that since early fetuses entirely lack these characteristics, they are not inherently wrong to kill and so most abortions are not morally wrong, since most abortions are done early in pregnancy, before consciousness and feeling develop in the fetus.

Furthermore, since the right to life is not the right to someone else’s body, fetuses might not have the right to the pregnant woman’s body—which she has the right to—and so she has the right to not allow the fetus use of her body. This further justifies abortion, at least until technology allows for the removal of fetuses to other wombs. Since morally permissible actions should be legal, abortions should be legal: it is an injustice to criminalize actions that are not wrong.

In the course of arguing for these claims, we:

  1. discuss how to best define abortion;
  2. dismiss many common “question-begging” arguments that merely assume their conclusions, instead of giving genuine reasons for them;
  3. refute some often-heard “everyday arguments” about abortion, on all sides;
  4. explain why the most influential philosophical arguments against abortion are unsuccessful;
  5. provide some positive arguments that at least early abortions are not wrong;
  6. briefly discuss the ethics and legality of later abortions, and more.

This essay is not a “how to win an argument” piece or a tract or any kind of apologetics. It is not designed to help anyone “win” debates: everybody “wins” on this issue when we calmly and respectfully engage arguments with care, charity, honesty and humility. This book is merely a reasoned, systematic introduction to the issues that we hope models these skills and virtues. Its discussion should not be taken as absolute “proof” of anything: much more needs to be understood and carefully discussed—always.

Nonelective Finance : The most important class you never took in school aims to fill the void left by the traditional education regarding an incredibly important adult life skill – Personal Finance. Across many metrics, the United States has a financial education problem. We are taught to be savers, not investors and often lose out on the life changing impacts of investing simply because we aren’t taught how important it really is. This book aims to upend that gap and completely change how you approach money. Whatever you might be passionate about, the information in here will undoubtedly help you pursue your own calling as well.

No REDD in Africa

name: Cassandra Smithies, Anabela Lemos, Nnimmo Bassey,

description:
The worst form of slavery is to willingly offer yourself on the auction block, get bought and pretend you are free. This is what participation in the mechanism called Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is. Coming at a time when climate action has shifted away from legally binding requirements to voluntary, “intended nationally determined contributions”, REDD provides a perfect space for polluters to keep polluting while claiming they are champions of climate action.

The REDD mechanism is already resulting in the violation of individual rights, as well as collective rights of communities and indigenous peoples. REDD offers polluting industries, carbon speculators, and governments that serve them the freedom to continue officially endorsed misbehavior.

This publication by the No REDD in Africa Network aims to demystify REDD and REDD-type projects, and all their variants, and show them for what they are: unjust mechanisms designed to usher in a new phase of colonization of the African continent. From examples presented, it is clear that the REDD mechanism is a scam and the polluters know that they are buying the “right” to pollute.

This briefing highlights the seriousness of the threat of the carbon trading Pandora’s box being opened by REDD and REDD-type projects and shows clearly that what is in the offing is not just land or water grabs but a continental grab. REDD is not just another scramble for Africa, but a vicious grabbing of the entire continent, with those selling out demanding to be applauded for doing so in the name of “sustainable development”. REDD is on course to result in grossly oppressive and exploitative systemic and structural changes which include a historic takeover of land tenure and water tenure, carbon colonialism, carbon slavery and exacerbated forms of violence against women.

REDD constitutes a new offensive against the peoples of Africa, especially farmers, pastoralists, hunter-gatherers and indigenous peoples.

The OER Adoption Journey

description:
The OER Adoption Journey is an OER designed to be used as part of a support system for OER adoption in a learning space/course. It is a model of what integration of multiple OER can look like within learning materials. We created The OER Adoption Journey to support faculty, librarians, and instructional designers working through OER adoption. We invite readers to use the book as is, in support of their OER adoption journey and/or OER adoption initiatives. We invite readers to break our content into modules and sub-modules for your own LMS to support OER adoption on your campus. Then build upon it to meet the needs of your own faculty as they embark on their own OER adoption journey. Modules/chapters within this book are designed for both new and seasoned OER adopters. Use parts as appropriate, revisit parts as appropriate to suit your learning and adopting needs.

The content of this OER was originally designed as a course in a learning management system (LMS) to support a group of Millersville University faculty who were adopting OER for the first time. The OER Adoption Journey goes beyond finding and selecting OER course materials. It contains reflection questions to assist the adopter in thinking through integrating OER into their course in a way that is learner centered.

description:
Understanding the history of a discipline requires looking at prominent figures and events that contributed to the growth of the discipline. Yet historical accounts are prone to including what those writing the accounts believe is most important to know. Within the discipline of psychology, women and people of color are noticeably absent from historical accounts, particularly those in traditional textbooks (Cramblet Alvarez et al., 2020).

This collection of chapters features the lives and contributions of pioneering women and psychologists of color–including their general biographies, important achievements, the historical context surrounding their work, and the historical impact their work has left on the field of psychology.

Each chapter was written by students in sections of History and Systems of Psychology courses at the University of North Dakota and the University of Nevada Reno, under the direction of their course instructors, Dr. Alison Kelly (UND) and Dr. Brittany Avila (UNR). Students worked in teams through multiple drafts of their chapters throughout the semester and were able to choose to publish their work as part of this compilation.

Historians talk about change over time, but change is not linear. Rather nebulous and with unforeseen consequences. The historian Dr. Nancy Hewitt talks about a complexity of change over time. While change can positively affect one group sometimes that same change negatively affects another group, she argues. Change is both progressive and regressive. Change is embraced and at the same time rejected. The events of January 6th, 2021 demonstrate that.

For example, The territory of Washington granted women the right to vote in 1883, then took away that right in 1887. Women regained the right to vote in 1888 by another act of the territorial legislature, but that bill was overturned by the Territorial Supreme Court the same year. Women in Washington then re-regained the right to vote with the adoption of the new state Constitution in 1910. The Prohibition Amendment was supposed to result in a cleaner, more sober society. What it brought, among other things, was the rise of organized crime. The Eighteenth Amendment was the only change to the Constitution that restricted rights. And the Supreme Court's decisions sometimes restricts or or even takes rights away (see "Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization 2022). The idea that change necessarily advances society is inaccurate. In fact, continuity and change can happen simultaneously.

The world is too complex for a linear narrative. The trajectory of society on an evolutionary tract that is positive is not a normal phenomenon. Change does not always mean better. Likewise, continuity has both its detractors and proponents such as the vote in the US Senate for removing the 17th, 37th, 42nd and 45th (twice) president from office after the House of Representatives had found those men guilty of various high crimes and misdemeanors.

Impeachment is not normal. Republicans impeached Andrew Johnson (D) for a myriad of things to include “heaping ridicule upon Congress.” Richard Nixon (R) resigned when it became apparent that he did not have the number of votes in Congress to keep him in the Oval Office. Republicans impeached Bill Clinton (D) for lying about committing adultery. Democrats, who controlled the House after the 2018 and 2020 elections, impeached Donald Trump, twice, including “inciting violence against the government of the United States.” Impeachments are not normal times.

Not unlike Andrew Jackson, Donald Trump attracted exceptionally divergent positions. All presidents have their detractors. Some more than others. Rush Limbaugh seemingly made his career going against the Clinton administration (and women and POC). One aspect or theme of this book is not about presidential personalities but rather, for example, are the domestic and foreign policies of presidents more of a continuity of policy, or, are some more in line with Gilded Age policies as some historians have pondered? A change from the path the US has been on since the Progressive era? And, how did those changes and continuities affect various groups of Americans?

The idea of “All men are created equal” didn’t mean “all men” in 1776 but by 1877 “all men” certainly included most American men, at least on paper. Women were granted the right to vote, then Native Americans, then the 1964 Civil rights Act, then the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our liberties seemingly expand over time. But then the Supreme has been chipping away at the 1965 Voting Rights Act since 2013. Then the Dobbs decision (2022) took away a women's right to control her own body. A right she had since Roe (1973). So in some cases, liberties might be contracting.

Was the exclusion of Chinese or the forced Americanization of Native American children in the nineteenth century similar or not to policies that restrict Muslim immigration or remove immigrant children from their parents in the 21st century (the "Zero tolerance" initiative)? Or, politicians who lament that certain ethnic groups do not assimilate as quickly or thoroughly as other groups in both the Gilded Age and more recently?

Are the speeches, policies, and practices normal throughout US history over the long run, or has US history altered its path since September 11th? And what about American culture and society? Is how different is baseball in the 21st century than in the 19th century? What about violence in sports, such as football. 21 college men died playing football in 1904. Song lyrics. Every generation thinks they were the first to rebel against their parents. Every generation thinks their music is the best. And every generation thinks they invented sex. How has youth culture changed over time? What about protest movements: from those against liquor importation in the 1830s to Black Lives Matter in the 20-teens? Is there a strand of continuity there? I could go on.

Finally, what does that change or continuity mean? Vamos a ver.

Second, in part, this book is not normal because the focus whenever possible is not on the elite, the Great Men, but on us -what that active duty Air Force staff sergeant and his pregnant wife from Wisconsin, both civil rights marchers, witnessed what was going on at the Mall in DC on August 28th, 1963, as opposed to focusing on the speeches of King, John Lewis and Rabbi Joachim Prinz. Although we will talk about Lewis and Prinz over King. You need to read something different

Continuing, this book will focus on the thoughts of a then-seven-year-old watching TV, as his mom hurriedly made his lunch because as he overslept that morning, on September 11th 2001 as opposed to mentioning the goat book and that 11-word message whispered to President Bush by his Chief of Staff. When possible, we use the diaries and letters of our relatives, co-workers, and friends. Gleaned from out-of-print newspapers, uncovered at local historical associations, and extracted from oral histories, some done by my students, we uncover the words, deeds, and experiences of average people. Sometimes my students are the subjects of those oral histories. Some of the narrative contained within this book is the work of my undergrads at Houston Community College. My student contributors are listed at the end of each chapter. This OER is a true collaboration. History through our experiences. This is Our Story.

Covid-19 has changed the game for non-profits. From client demands to workplace changes to funding limitations, nothing is the same. In the face of the many challenges the Coronavirus pandemic brings, people still rely on the non-profit community as much—and often more—than they ever did. As such, organizations need to quickly and effectively adapt to this new environment.

Much of the guidance put out for non-profits has focused on funding—for example, government and foundation grant loan opportunities like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Not nearly as many resources have been made available about how to navigate the strategic and operational challenges presented by the Coronavirus. But money only goes so far absent other responsive changes.

To help fill this gap, Snowflake and the Non-profit Alliance of the Northern Shenandoah Valley (NANSV) presented a live, six-part virtual series to educate non-profits about practical considerations in adapting to Covid-19 conditions in May and June 2020. This eBook is a brief summary of that series, intended as a primer for those who could not attend and a reference for those who did participate.

ஏழ்மை கொடியது. இது இயற்கை இல்லை. பலரின் மிகக் குறைந்த அறியும் திறனைமுதல்லக தனது சுய லாபத்திற்காக வறுமை உருவாக்கப் படுகிறது. ஏழைகள் வளமாக என்ன செய்யவேண்டும்? அறிவை, அறியும் திறனை வளர்க்கவேண்டும்.

தன்னுள் ஒளிந்து வாழும் கால் நடை மனங்களை விரட்டி, அங்கே கழுதை மனத்தையும், சிங்க மனத்தையும் இருத்தவேண்டும்.

அது எப்படி சாத்தியம் ஆகும்.

கற்பது – மற்றும் – சிந்திப்பது என்ற இரண்டையும் தனது வாழ்வில் முக்கியமாகக் கருதி அதை அடைய முயற்சித்தால், ஏழ்மையை விரட்டலாம்.

description: Unbeknownst to them, graduate students enrolled in Dr. David Carter’s Fall 2020 section of Research Design embarked on an experiment in research instruction. Working in groups of two-to-four, they conceived of, designed, and executed public affairs “microstudies”—small-scale research projects focused on tailored questions of public policy and public administration. This book presents the result of this experiment: seven diverse research projects on topics including public transit ridership, telework, and K-12 education modes during the COVID-19 pandemic; reproductive healthcare policy impacts; municipal climate change plans; environmental (in)justice, and; the workforce experiences of those with invisible disabilities. The studies are diverse in epistemological underpinnings and research methods—ranging from critical and interpretivist qualitative investigations to quantitative analysis of secondary data—but are united in their collective attention to research design fidelity and concern for findings with “public” relevance.

description: Public affairs graduate students enrolled in Dr. David Carter’s fall 2021 Research Design course once again embarked on a somewhat unorthodox curriculum, executing complete research projects from start to finish in 15 weeks. The result was seven microstudies that tackle prescient topics with both practical and scholarly importance, including: consumers’ motivations regarding sustainable product purchases, American support for U.S. policy towards the United Nations, the impact of contemporary “critical race theory” debates on teachers and education, wildfire causes and consequences across jurisdictions, the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on single mothers, and the affect of state policies on queer youth. The studies are diverse in epistemological underpinnings and research methods—ranging from critical and interpretivist qualitative investigations to quantitative analysis of secondary data—but are united in their collective attention to research design fidelity and concern for findings with “public” relevance.

description: This innovative Open Educational Resource textbook on racial and ethnic diversity combines a sociological and comparative approach. The author, a sociology Ph.D. at an Ohio two-year college, provides a well-researched and detailed introduction to diversity. The sociological approach highlights structural relationships of the non-Hispanic white group to other U.S. racial-ethnic groups, in the present day and historically. The comparative approach discusses U.S. diversity in international and historical perspective, especially in terms of North America’s many political, economic, and social relationships with Latin America. This comparative approach is especially important for today’s students, given the current Hispanicization of the U.S. The 13 chapters are grouped into four Units: Introducing Diversity, Whiteness and Power, Legacies of Racialized Slavery, and Immigration and Latin America. The textbook also includes 13 chapter quizzes.

Histology: An Identification Manual

description:
This brand-new, user-friendly text takes you effortlessly through the step-by-step process you need to accurately distinguish the various components of each and every tissue, organ, and system under consideration. Each chapter contains a “commonly misdiagnosed” section to help you avoid the usual pitfalls in identification, and a “logic tree” maps out the questions you should be asking yourself as you go through the identification process.

  * Accurately identify a structure with step-by-step guidance instructing you on when to use a low magnification or high magnification objective.
  * Focus on the parts of the micrograph you should be assessing via the help of large format micrographs accompanied by pen and ink drawings.
  * Avoid pitfalls thanks to a “commonly misdiagnosed” section at the end of the each chapter.
  * Obtain expert guidance on practical matters in the lab using an appendix on techniques and stain procedures.

A clear page design, concise text, and practical binding make this resource an indispensable friend in the lab. It’s almost like having your own personal histology instructor at your side.

Being human after 1492

description:
The pamphlet begins with two letters written by Paul the Apostle in which Christianity first acquires a universal address. The new religion came to exclude people who were not Christians from the count of the human. This became explicit around a thousand years later when Pope Urban II authorised the First Crusade.

In 1492 planetary history was split in to two. Muhammad XII of Granada conceded defeat to Isabella and Ferdinand, the Catholic monarchs of Portugal and Spain, who went on to expel the Jews from the territory under their control. Europe became a Christian project. In the same year Christopher Columbus arrived in the Caribbean and Europe also became an imperial project with a planetary reach.

The origins of the racial ideology can be seen in this period, in which ideas about religion came to be entangled with fantastical ideas about the imagined purity of blood. But it was in the English colony of Virginia in the seventeenth century that the legitimation for the exclusion from the count of the human began to move from claims made in the name of religion to claims made in the name of science. This is the point at which modern racism, rooted in the appearance of the body, began to cast its malignant shadow across the planet.

The author argues that the struggle to put an end to the epoch of world history that opened in 1492 will require new ideas, and new practices. It follows the Caribbean tradition that runs from Aimé Césaire to Frantz Fanon and Sylvia Wynter in affirming the need for a counter-humanism, a radical humanism, a humanism that, in Césaire’s famous phrases, is “made to the measure of the world”. There is a need for a shift in the ground of reason towards the lived experience and struggles of people rendered, in Wynter’s phrase, as ‘pariahs outside of the new order’

Reisregels voor niet-fysieke werelden

description:
Als we kennis willen maken met voor onze ogen onzichtbare werkelijkheden, dan is een reisgids handig. Zo kun je je op verschillende manieren voorbereiden op hoe je je weg daarin zou willen vinden. Tips in dit boek gaan over:

  * Hoe je kennis maakt met wat we wel noemen ‘het grote bewustzijn systeem’ (GBS), dat je zou kunnen zien als de creatiebron van alle werkelijkheden.
  * Wat een paar reisregels zijn, die maken dat je makkelijk je weg kunt vinden.
  * Nagaan wat je reisdoel is.
  * Weten wie je zoal kunt tegenkomen.
  * Navigatiesystemen op een rij zetten (te vergelijken met reismiddelen als lopen, fietsen, rijden, vliegen).

Aan het einde van dit boek ben je reisklaar. Of en hoe makkelijk je je weg vindt hangt af van eventuele overtuigingen die je in de weg kunnen zitten (zoals: interessant, maar dit kan toch eigenlijk niet?). En vaak ook van hoe vaak en serieus je werkt aan opdoen van reiservaring.

Academic research is at a crossroads because scholars are pursuing an international reputation earlier in their careers. Early career researchers often experience norms and expectations they may be unfamiliar with, specifically open access publishing, research data sharing mandates and establishing their scholarly identity via professional social media. They must learn to navigate the research lifecycle from topic selection to data collection and ultimately dissemination of their work. To address the needs of early career researchers and the educators who work with them, we created Navigating the Research Lifecycle for the Modern Researcher.

This open text (licensed CC BY NC) will help graduate students and new faculty in STEM and the social sciences navigate the complexities of academic research in the international research community. Some researchers have extensive access to support and tools along the lifecycle including sophisticated research data management and visualization tools or hands-on mentoring. However, many early career researchers are expected to navigate the lifecycle on their own, learning through their successes and struggles. This text will be a valuable resource for scholars of both types, as well as educators and mentors working with them.

This is a posthumous collection of poems and a short story written by Rick Steele (1954-2018), author and tech pioneer from Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

Rick’s conviction that literature could open eyes and affect a world view was the result of personal experience. An avid reader, his interests in Biblical and classical writings shaped his less known self as poet, storyteller, and satirist. In particular, he valued the kinship of form and content, not simply as an armchair scholar but active practitioner. And not only as a writer, but as a person. Integrity and curiosity were his bosom buddies, and Euterpe his lifelong muse.

This collection contains the majority of the poems that Rick wrote in his lifetime (at least the ones that could be found). Of his short stories, only one survived, Lardass. The story is also included here.

Constitutional Freedoms is an undergraduate text for courses in civil rights and liberties. It covers most of the subject areas of other undergraduate texts, although it rearranges some in ways that are more conducive to student learning. The major difference is that freedoms of speech and press are treated together as aspects of communication, rather than separately because so distinguished in the US Constitution. The book includes sections on Supreme Court procedure, methods of interpretation, and tests for unconstitutionality, as well as information about experiential learning opportunities for students.

description:
The electricity supply crisis that gripped South Africa in 2007 impacted heavily on economic productivity, political stability, and every citizen.

To date, all attempts to understand how the country’s Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) has evolved focus narrowly on Eskom. This approach has become increasingly limited over the last 15 years as the national utility continues to spiral deeper into operational failure. Yet, commentators and analysts have paid little attention to Municipal Electricity Undertakings (MEUs) – the utilities responsible for distributing electricity at municipal level – which started operating two decades before Eskom was formed in 1923.

Through a detailed historical account, Running to Stand Still shows how MEUs have contributed to the country’s broader ESI. The book disentangles the complex linkages that have developed between Eskom, MEUs, and the three spheres of government. In doing so, it examines two fundamental but diametrically opposed government objectives. First, the ideal of having financially self-sufficient municipalities that in reality are over-burdened and have to rely heavily on revenue from electricity distribution to cross-subsidise their operations. And second, to have a national utility that generates electricity at the lowest cost to provide the country’s energy-intensive economy with a competitive advantage.

These path-dependent practices have endured for more than a century and have cemented institutional lock-in that blocks much-needed sectoral reform. This is aptly demonstrated through the case study of the country’s most powerful financial centre and largest MEU, Johannesburg, which is currently in a state of crisis.

The Secrecy of UK Family Courts has been the subject of our activities and online campaigns for many years. Taking the issue to the EU Parliament was a kind of ‘last resort’. However, it caused problems for parents who had come as supporters with hope, after their children had been wrongfully taken by UK Social Services and Police, ‘legitimised’ by secret Family Courts and some forcibly adopted, i.e. without their consent.

This experience was already ‘too much’ in March 2014, but certainly got aggravated, when we watched the cover-ups of the crimes that the ‘whistleblower kids’ had witnessed. The former UK Secretary of the Petitions Committee had said: “The UK can’t have it both ways: be part of a club, and not play by its members’ rules.”

In a BBC film, the current Chair of the Petitions Committee said: “This is against the Charter of Fundamental Rights, i.e. against European principles.”

This book is meant to help spread awareness and share disillusionment in a system of institutions that, so far, has failed far too many of us bitterly and cruelly.

In this text, students will be reading and thinking critically about work written by and about women over about a 1500 year period. From non-fiction to drama to poetry and short fiction, students will study many different kinds of literature from a variety of voices and perspectives.

The text begins with an introduction to reading literature and applying critical theory, especially feminist critical theory, to literature.

The next section of the text focuses on Medieval Literature, with a time span ranging from about the 600s to the 1300s. First, readers learn about the origins of Folklore and Fairy Tales, reading work from Marie de France. Next, readers discover more about the history of medieval women writers, especially contemplative literature written by nuns. In this section, readers will read excerpts from texts by Leoba, Dhuoda, and Julian of Norwich. This latter part of the text draws heavily on sections from Dr. Palmer’s PhD work.

The third section of the text focuses on Restoration Comedy in the long 18th century (from about the mid 1600s to 1800). Dr. Palmer has based this section of the text on her experience in her graduate literature courses, drawing from her own writing for the text here. Students will read work from George Etherege and Aphra Behn in this section, comparing the ways in which a male and female author represent women in drama.

Finally, the text covers modern literature–poetry and short fiction–from the 1800s to the present. In this section, readers get a brief overview of the Romantic, Realist, Modernist, Post Colonialist, and Contemporary literary periods. Students will get to read a wide selection of poetry and short fiction from each of these periods.

I hope that as students discover the voices of women, they will see that women have a much larger part to play in history than they are normally given credit for. By reading their work, saying their names today, we are giving their voices new life.

description:
The Asian University for Women Master of Arts in Education program is unique in the sense that it has been launched with aspirations to empower women in education, particularly the brightest young female reformists/educational entrepreneurs dedicated to creating an impact through educational development in society. The majority of the students who took part in this class are Afghan evacuees and/or belong to minority communities seeking to bring a change.

The “Strong Schools” course is a project-based learning class that integrates students’ future paths as educators, policymakers, innovators, and school founders. Over the winter term of 2022, students have been working collaboratively to write a book about ‘Strong Schools’ that covers multiple aspects of initiating or teaching in a secondary school. Each of the chapters reflects students’ critical ideas, observation, creative thinking and lessons from distinguished guest speakers from around the globe, with the sessions held simultaneously in the class. The chapters are also a fruitful outcome of students’ interactive discussion and mind-mapping activities throughout the sessions. In addition, the book remarks a crucial part of the modern educational process, the use of diverse technology and tools in education and learning.

The Guidebook is organized into five units and fourteen modules.

  1. Getting Started
  2. What is Disability?
  3. What is Ableism?
  4. What is K-12 education and how is ableism embedded in the system?
  5. What kind of teacher do you want to be for your disabled students and how will you become that person?

The Guidebook is structured around a carefully curated collection of 121 sources from 110 creators—most of whom publicly identify as Deaf or disabled. Over 500 undergraduate students at Illinois State University have found these sources helpful.

The Guidebook was originally designed to facilitate Dr. Natalie L. Shaheen’s “Special” Education 101 course and could easily be incorporated into other university teacher preparation courses. Additionally, the Guidebook could be used to facilitate professional development for inservice teachers.

description: In a fast-paced and high-pressure society, young adults with ADHD often struggle with feelings of inadequacy or inability as a result of low levels of self-efficacy. While plenty of information and advice exists on the internet and social media, some of it might do more harm than good. In an effort to give psychology findings away to those who would benefit most, my project identifies interventions and practices that work to improve functioning and increase self-efficacy. These practices follow a “wise intervention” framework that identifies and addresses specific pressure points in patterns of thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. The intended result is to work away from a self-defeating cycle and towards a self-enhancing one. This process focuses on how young adults with ADHD make meaning from their experiences and personal situations, which often involve negative judgments from important life figures such as teachers or parents. As such, an analysis of Martin Conway’s Self Memory System highlights the functions of autobiographical memory in this process of meaning-making. The formation of identity through self-attributions is also considered as it relates to motivation processes and the development of self-efficacy. Additionally, a focus on the use of language and its effects on self-views demonstrates its power on an intervention level. Self-help activities that challenge executive functioning, reframe negative experiences, and help to change mindset all contribute to the process of increasing self-efficacy and motivation. The workbook that I have created to accompany my project will provide activities such as expressive writing, attainable goal-setting, positive self-talk, and healthy reflective exercises.

In diesem Buch wollen wir an einigen Beispielen zeigen, wie Mitglieder von Senioren-Lernen-Online (SLO) verschiedene Sensoren aktiv in ihr Wohnumfeld und ihr Leben einbinden und mit Hilfe des Internets die Daten abrufen.

Schon 2016 haben wir in einem E-Book mit dem Titel „Senioren nutzen Mikrocontroller“ ausführlich beschrieben, wie man den „SeniorSensor“ nutzt. In diesem Buch steht dagegen nicht so sehr die Technik der Mikrocontroller im Vordergrund, sondern der Nutzen, den verschiedene Arten von Sensoren haben können.

Die Beiträge stammen alle von Senioren und beruhen auf eigenen Erfahrungen. Sie sollen Anregungen geben, das eine oder andere selbst aufzubauen.

Dieses Buch wurde als Projektbeitrag von Senioren-Lernen-Online im Erasmus + Projektes ICT ICCS geschrieben und ins Englische übersetzt, so dass auf jedes deutsche Kapitel die englische Übersetzung folgt.

In this book we want to use a few examples to show how members of Senior Citizens-Learn-Online (SLO) actively integrate various sensors into their environment at home and into their lives and how they can retrieve data with the help of the Internet.

2016 we described in the e-book „Senior citizens use microcontrollers“ how to use the „SeniorSensor“. The focus in this book is not mainly on the technology of the microcontroller, but on the benefits that different types of sensors can have.

Contributions come from senior citizens and are based on their own experience. They can encourage people to build something on theitr own.

This book is written as a contribution to the Erasmus + ICT ICCS project by Seniors-Learn-Online. For the participants of this project the English translation follows every German chapter.

description:
In the summer of 2019, I entered into a teaching swap. An early career orchestra teacher gave me beginning guitar lessons and I created for her a tailored seminar in educational psychology topics selected just for her. After her first year on the job, she realized she had many questions about students related to cognition, identity, and motivation that were not addressed in her teacher-preparation coursework. The swap ended up being of value to both of us. And really, what a delightful way to spend a summer! We both love teaching and learning and music and shared our expertise with each other for nearly two months. As the next school year started, my friend felt that what covered was really beneficial. How wonderful.

![](https://pressbooks.com/app/uploads/sites/128966/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-06-at-1.35.46-PM-122x300.png)As such, early in January 2020, my reading list and discussion notes in hand, I developed a proposal for a new course reflecting that summer “seminar” experience. I pitched the course to music education majors, and described it as an extension to the standard educational psychology coursework they were required to take. That is, I pitched it as an elective. By the time students began to register for summer and fall 2020 courses, the corona-virus had taken hold of our lives, and the format of summer school had to change. My thinking about the course had changed too. Rather than limit enrolled students to one kind of teaching application, I realized that we would all get more out of the course if it were expanded to include a variety of teaching (or coaching, mentoring, or therapy) experiences. And with that, enough students enrolled in the course to make it a “go.”

Before the course began I polled students about their interests and I made sure to include at least one reading that would be clearly related to their particular interests and experiences. Over the span of 4 weeks, the students and I dove in to the course content undaunted by our Zoom connection. Enrolled students entered with a variety of interests. Some had extensive teaching experience already, others had none. All, of course, had quite a bit of experience as students though, and so as the class rolled along, while learning new content we also learned about how it might apply to many different teaching and learning contexts. It really was a fantastic course.

In the chapters that follow, you will see how each student took the course material and applied it to a context of their own choosing. Each section is comprised of three chapters, all tailored to the context: Early Childhood Education, Creative Writing, Math, Cheer Coaching, School Counseling, and Occupational Therapy. While the authors are undergraduates, the knowledge they’ve gained and shared here is sound. Readers can trust that the recommendations are couched in empirical research and theory. We hope that you enjoy reading and that you find it useful as well! And if you want to read further yourselves, you will find the class reading list in the appendix.

Social Problems: Continuity and Change

name: [Author removed at request of original publisher]

description:
Introduction to Psychology is adapted from a work produced by a publisher who has requested that they and the original author not receive attribution. This adapted edition is produced by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing through the eLearning Support Initiative.

Social Problems: Continuity and Change is a realistic but motivating look at the many issues that are facing our society today. As this book’s subtitle, Continuity and Change, implies, social problems are persistent, but they have also improved in the past and can be improved in the present and future, provided that our nation has the wisdom and will to address them.

It is easy for students to read a social problems textbook and come away feeling frustrated by the enormity of the many social problems facing us today. Social Problems: Continuity and Change certainly does not minimize the persistence of social problems, but neither does it overlook the possibilities for change offered by social research and by the activities of everyday citizens working to make a difference. Readers the book will find many examples of how social problems have been improved and of strategies that hold great potential for solving them today and in the future.

You will find several pedagogical features help to convey the “continuity and change” theme of this text and the service sociology vision in which it is grounded: Each chapter begins with a “Social Problems in the News” story related to the social problem discussed in that chapter. These stories provide an interesting starting point for the chapter’s discussion and show its relevance for real-life issues. Three types of boxes in each chapter provide examples of how social problems have been changed and can be changed. In no particular order,

  * A first box, “Applying Social Research,” discusses how the findings from sociological and other social science research have either contributed to public policy related to the chapter’s social problem or have the potential of doing so.
  * A second box, “Lessons from Other Nations,” discusses how another nation or nations have successfully addressed the social problem of that chapter.
  * A third box, “People Making a Difference,” discusses efforts by individuals, non-profit organizations or social change groups, or social movements relating to the chapter’s social problem. Students will see many examples in this box of how ordinary people can indeed make a difference.
  * A fourth box in each chapter, “Children and Our Future,” examines how the social problem discussed in that chapter particularly affects children, and it outlines the problem’s repercussions for their lives as adolescents and adults. This box reinforces for students the impact of social problems on children and the importance of addressing these problems for their well-being as well as for the nation’s well-being.

Each chapter ends with a “Using What You Know” feature that presents students with a scenario involving the social problem from the chapter and that puts them in a decision-making role. This feature helps connect the chapter’s theoretical discussion with potential real-life situations.

Each chapter also ends with a “What You Can Do” feature that suggests several activities, strategies, or other efforts that students might undertake to learn more about and/or to address the social problem examined in the chapter. Like other aspects of the book, this feature helps counter “doom and gloom” feelings that little can be done about social problems.

Other pedagogical features in each chapter include Learning Objectives at the beginning of a major section that highlight key topics to be learned; Key Takeaways at the end of a major section that highlight important points that were discussed in the section; For Your Review questions, also at the end of a major section, that have students think critically about that section’s discussion; and a Summary that reviews the major points made in the chapter.

The founders of American sociology a century or more ago in cities like Atlanta and Chicago wanted to reduce social inequality, to improve the lives of people of color, and more generally to find solutions to the most vexing social problems of their times. A former president of the Society for the Study of Social Problems, A. Javier Treviño, has used the term service sociology to characterize their vision of their new discipline. Social Problems: Continuity and Change is grounded in this vision by offering a sociological understanding of today’s social problems and of possible solutions to these problems.

description: Listening to the SONG of Life opens intellectual thinking, study, teaching, and research beyond the normative perspective of listening to other human beings. It is our birthright to have access to the knowledge and skills to listen to the whole SONG of life: listening to Self, Others, Nature, and Goddess-God-the Divine. These new vistas provide a panoramic view of listening to the entire landscape of life. In this world, sensory and intuitive abilities are cultivated to intentionally listen to all of life. Developing these natural listening capacities enriches our mind, body, and spirit and integrates these areas into a broader sense of self that finds interconnections with many life forms, forces, and energies.

description: I lecture in contemporary Spanish history to first year undergraduates. Most of the books in the market are not suitable for my students’ needs since they cover history in too much detail. This manual created by me is meant to highlight the key aspects of this period in Spain in an engaging manner for young undergraduates. The book offers plenty of internet links (both in English and Spanish) in order to supplement the information given in the text. It also suggests titles of films that are readily available and that can make studying history more relevant and engaging. There are also summaries of the content in Spanish for students taking Spanish language courses.
