Grounded in ethnography and teacher research, Moving across Differences examines how an LGBTQ+-themed literature course enabled high school students to negotiate their differences and engage in ...ethical encounters. Drawing on the work of queer theorists, Mollie V. Blackburn conceptualizes these encounters as forms of movement across differences of not only gender and sexuality but also identity and ideology more broadly. As we follow Blackburn's thoughtful rendering of students' sometimes fraught exchanges, we are encouraged to follow their lead and move when confronted with differences. We might move closer to those like us, so we can be in community to recover and heal. But we might also move closer to others, so we can discover and learn. The book argues, though, that we must move ethically and, moreover, that literature and the work of reading, writing, and talking can foster this movement. Modeling care in both teaching and research, Moving across Differences contributes to the study and practice of English Language Arts curriculum and pedagogy, qualitative methods, and queer theory.This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem)—a collaboration of the Association of American Universities, the Association of University Presses, and the Association of Research Libraries—and the generous support of The Ohio State University Libraries.

The book also compares intercultural approaches and debates generated in countries as diverse as the United States, Canada, Brazil, Switzerland and France. For each national context, the book addresses both the historical roots of intercultural approaches and the concrete initiatives driven by educational policies for their implementation in schools and classrooms.

"Urban education and its contexts have changed in powerful ways. Old paradigms are being eclipsed by global forces of privatization and markets and new articulations of race, class, and urban space. ...These factors and more set the stage for Pauline Lipman's insightful analysis of the relationship between education policy and the neoliberal economic, political, and ideological processes that are reshaping cities in the United States and around the globe.
Using Chicago as a case study of the interconnectedness of neoliberal urban policies on housing, economic development, race, and education, Lipman explores larger implications for equity, justice, and ""the right to the city"". She draws on scholarship in critical geography, urban sociology and anthropology, education policy, and critical analyses of race. Her synthesis of these lenses gives added weight to her critical appraisal and hope for the future, offering a significant contribution to current arguments about urban schooling and how we think about relations between neoliberal education reforms and the transformation of cities. By examining the cultural politics of why and how these relationships resonate with people's lived experience, Lipman pushes the analysis one step further toward a new educational and social paradigm rooted in radical political and economic democracy."
Once a predominantly African-American city, South Vista opened the twenty-first century with a large Latino/a majority and a significant population of Pacific Islanders. Using an innovative blend of ...critical ethnography and social language methodologies, Paris offers the voices and experiences of South Vista youth as a window into how today's young people challenge and reinforce ethnic and linguistic difference in demographically changing urban schools and communities. The ways African-American language, Spanish and Samoan are used within and across ethnicity in social and academic interactions, text messages and youth-authored rap lyrics show urban young people enacting both new and old visions of pluralist cultural spaces. Paris illustrates how understanding youth communication, ethnicity and identities in changing urban landscapes like South Vista offers crucial avenues for researchers and educators to push for more equitable schools and a more equitable society.
Parler des émotions à l’école n’est pas anodin. Certains enseignants expriment d’ailleurs se sentir comme « un funambule » lorsqu’ils les abordent en classe. Objet de représentations contradictoires: ...les émotions sont considérées comme un moteur potentiel aux apprentissages, mais sont parfois perçues comme un frein au raisonnement. Leur émergence dans l’espace de la classe représente un risque d’intrusion dans la sphère intime de l’élève. Ces tensions sont ravivées depuis quelques années par l’introduction en classe de thèmes tels que la diversité culturelle, le rapport à l’altérité et les questions migratoires. Faisant écho aux défis d’une société marquée par la pluralité culturelle et linguistique, ces thèmes associés à une éducation interculturelle deviennent des objets d’enseignement aux enjeux brûlants. L’auteure étudie des pratiques réelles d’enseignement en éducation interculturelle. Elle examine les processus d’apprentissage à l’œuvre lorsque les émotions verbalisées des élèves sont sollicitées dans des activités interculturelles. À partir d’un travail d’analyse fin des interactions sociales, le livre met en lumière les défis de la prise en compte des émotions et de leur secondarisation dans ces pratiques. Il participe à la réflexion sur les conditions d’enseignement des objets interculturels en proposant un travail innovant à partir des émotions verbalisées des élèves, une voie pour aller au-delà des pièges des approches interculturelles et répondre à leurs finalités.
This wide-ranging introduction reveals the importance of language policy in relation to migration, globalization, cultural diversity, nation-building, education, and ethnic identity throughout ...several countries and continents.
