COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

This book features contributions from leading experts who present peer reviewed research on how the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic affected U. S. teachers students parents teaching practices enrolments and institutional innovations offering the first empirical findings exploring educational impacts likely to last for decades. The COVID-19 pandemic presented the greatest crisis in the history of U. S. schooling with America’s 50 states thousands of school systems and tens of thousands of private and charter schools responding in myriad ways. This book brings together peer reviewed empirical research on how U. S. schools responded and on the educational and health impacts likely to persist for many years. Contributors explore how the U. S. responses differed from those in other countries with slower reopening and both reopening and modes of instruction varying widely across states and school sectors. Compared to European countries U. S. responses to reopening schools reflected political influences more than health or educational needs though this was less true in market-based private and charter schools. The pandemic was a catalyst for school choice movements across the U. S. Many parents reacted to school closings by exploring alternatives to traditional public schools including an important and likely permanent innovation small parent-created or “pod” schools. As the papers here detail long term student learning loss and health and socioemotional impacts of COVID-19 closings may well last for decades. The volume concludes by exploring teacher experiences across different sectors following the pandemic. COVID-19 and Schools will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of education education policy and leadership educational research research methods economics sociology and psychology. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of School Choice. | COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

This book examines posters produced by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) a federal relief program designed to create jobs in the United States during the Great Depression. Cory Pillen focuses on several issues addressed repeatedly in the roughly 2 200 extant WPA posters created between 1935 and 1943: recreation and leisure conservation health and disease and public housing. As the book shows the posters promote specific forms of knowledge and literacy as solutions to contemporary social concerns. The varied issues these works engage and the ideals they endorse however would have resonated in complex ways with the posters’ diverse viewing public working both for and against the rhetoric of consensus employed by New Deal agencies in defining and managing the relationship between self and society in modern America. This book will be of interest to scholars in design history art history and American studies. | WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

Rights for Aborigines

Rights for Aborigines

'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus 1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race by the end of the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to vote to determine where their families would live and to maintain their cultural traditions. In this groundbreaking work Bain Attwood charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and documentary sources he investigates how they found enough common ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal people. Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race history political and social rights that are central to our understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.
