This book reveals the roots of structural racism that limit social mobility and equality within Britain for Black and ethnicised students and academics in its inherently white Higher Education ...institutions. It brings together both established and emerging scholars in the fields of Race and Education to explore what institutional racism in British Higher Education looks like in colour-blind 'post-race' times, when racism is deemed to be 'off the political agenda'. Keeping pace with our rapidly changing global universities, this edited collection asks difficult and challenging questions, including why black academics leave the system; why the curriculum is still white; how elite universities reproduce race privilege; and how Black, Muslim and Gypsy traveller students are disadvantaged and excluded. The book also discusses why British racial equality legislation has failed to address racism, and explores what the Black student movement is doing about this. As the authors powerfully argue, it is only by dismantling the invisible architecture of post-colonial white privilege that the 21st century struggle for a truly decolonised academy can begin. This collection will be essential reading for students and academics working in the fields of Education, Sociology, and Race.

Metodológicamente, es una investigación documental y tiene como fuente los documentos: A Educação Infantil do Município de Vitória: um outro olhar (2006) e Diretrizes Curriculares Educação Infantil de Vitória/ES (2020). Los resultados encontrados permiten afirmar que las perspectivas de trabajo con el cuerpo y el movimiento de los niños y las niñas representan un avance en el debate sobre el papel de la EF en la EI. Considerando que, además de reconocer el lenguaje corporal como uno de los lenguajes imprescindibles para trabajar con niños y niñas, se alinean con las concepciones actuales de educación infantil y primera infancia. Además se constituyen en propuestas elaboradas junto a los docentes de Educación Infantil.
Abstract: This study describes and analyzes the place that body, movement and physical education occupy in the curriculum prescriptions for Early Childhood Education in the city of Vitória, focusing their interfaces with the discussions that take place in the academic level of the debate. Methodologically, it carries out a documentary research and has as source the documents: A Educação Infantil do Município de Vitória: um outro olhar (2006) e Diretrizes Curriculares Educação Infantil de Vitória/ES (2020). The results found allow us to state that the perspectives of working with the children's body and movement in the analyzed documents represent an advance in the debate on the role of Physical Education in Early Childhood Education. Considering that, in addition to recognizing body language as one of the essential languages for working with children, and aligning the current conceptions of childhood and early childhood education, they constitute proposals elaborated in co-authorship with the teachers of the Child education.

Police officers, armed security guards, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors are common features of the disturbing new landscape at many of today's high schools. You will also find new and ...harsher disciplinary practices: zero-tolerance policies, random searches with drug-sniffing dogs, and mandatory suspensions, expulsions, and arrests, despite the fact that school crime and violence have been decreasing nationally for the past two decades. While most educators, students, and parents accept these harsh policing and punishment strategies based on the assumption that they keep children safe, Aaron Kupchik argues that we need to think more carefully about how we protect and punish students.In Homeroom Security, Kupchik shows that these policies lead schools to prioritize the rules instead of students, so that students' real problems - often the very reasons for their misbehavior - get ignored. Based on years of impressive field research, Kupchik demonstrates that the policies we have zealously adopted in schools across the country are the opposite of the strategies that are known to successfully reduce student misbehavior and violence. As a result, contemporary school discipline is often unhelpful, and can be hurtful to students in ways likely to make schools more violent places. Furthermore, those students who are most at-risk of problems in schools and dropping out are the ones who are most affected by these counterproductive policies. Our schools and our students can and should be safe, and Homeroom Security offers real strategies for making them so.
Debates in the Digital Humanities brings together leading figures in the field to explore its theories, methods, and practices and to clarify its multiple possibilities and tensions. Together, the ...essays—which will be published later as an ongoing, open-access website—suggest that the digital humanities is uniquely positioned to contribute to the revival of the humanities and academic life.
Inklusion ist ein mehrdeutiger sozialer, politischer und pädagogischer Begriff, der von einer Vielzahl an Disziplinen zunehmend auch als analytische Kategorie gefasst wird. Die Beiträger*innen ...erweitern diesen theoretisierenden Zugang und setzen dabei den Fokus auf das Verhältnis von Inklusion und Grenzen. Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive zeigen sie, dass Grenzen und Grenzziehungen nicht nur dem Gegenstand Inklusion immanent sind, sondern Inklusion selbst die Logiken und Grenzen disziplinärer Diskurse verschiebt - was einen neuen Blick auf politische Partizipationsfragen, wechselseitige Zu- und Anerkennungsverhältnisse und pädagogische Imperative zulässt.
Rizvi and Lingard's account of the global politics of education is thoughtful, complex and compelling. It is the first really comprehensive discussion and analysis of global trends in education ...policy, their effects - structural and individual - and resistance to them. In the enormous body of writing on globalisation this book stands out and will become a basic text in education policy courses around the world.

In what ways have the processes of globalization reshaped the educational policy terrain?
How might we analyse education policies located within this new terrain, which is at once local, national, regional and global?
In Globalizing Education Policy, the authors explore the key global drivers of policy change in education, and suggest that these do not operate in the same way in all nation-states. They examine the transformative effects of globalization on the discursive terrain within which educational policies are developed and enacted, arguing that this terrain is increasingly informed by a range of neo-liberal precepts which have fundamentally changed the ways in which we think about educational governance. They also suggest that whilst in some countries these precepts are resisted, to some extent, they have nonetheless become hegemonic, and provide an overview of some critical issues in educational policy to which this hegemonic view of globalization has given rise, including:
devolution and decentralization
new forms of governance
the balance between public and private funding of education
access and equity and the education of girls
curriculum particularly with respect to the teaching of English language and technology
pedagogies and high stakes testing
and the global trade in education.
