Hidden Markets Public Policy and the Push to Privatize Education

Hidden Markets Public Policy and the Push to Privatize Education

Across the United States test publishers software companies and research firms continue to take advantage of the revenues made available by federal policies like the No Child Left Behind Act Race to the Top and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. In effect the education industry has assumed a central place in the day-to-day governance and administration of public schools—a previously hidden trend that has begun to be a ubiquitous component of public education. Drawing on analytic tools Hidden Markets examines specific domains that the education industry has had particular influence on—home schooling remedial instruction management consulting test development data management and staff development. With updated and new material added this second edition also highlights how technology and technology policy shape the conditions for teachers’ work the role of natural disasters as education market opportunities and the connection between racism and educational privatization. Burch's analysis demonstrates that only when we subject the education industry to systematic and in-depth critical analysis can we begin to demand more corporate accountability and organize to halt the slide of education funds into the market. Additional updates include: Discussion of the role that policy elites play in allowing CEOS to regulate the student identity market Examination of the rise of online tutoring engineered in part by the No Child Left Behind Act New chapter that offers an updated road map for policymakers and activists concerned about the issues raised within the book | Hidden Markets Public Policy and the Push to Privatize Education

Trajectories and Imaginaries in Migration The Migrant Actor in Transnational Space

Trajectories and Imaginaries in Migration The Migrant Actor in Transnational Space

This book draws attention to the various factors that characterize migrant flows and mobilities calling into question familiar concepts such as push and pull migration as a life project and sociocultural integration. It highlights processes such as fl exible migrant routes temporary and return migration mental aspects of migration processes and transnationalism which are organised around the themes of shaping trajectories frictions in space and the migrant mental framework. It brings together work from scholars from Europe and beyond with the contributions collected emphasizing the social and mental processes that underpin the migratory process which can be seen as the ‘soft side’ of migration. Too often this side is neglected when the governance of migration is discussed. The novel ideas expressed here also help to overcome the mechanistic view of migration as a push-pull event. Thus the book suggests a different understanding of migration and mobility as relational non-linear and fluid social processes characterized by instability in migrant life trajectories. Emphasizing the fl exibility of migrants and migration and advocating the importance of emotionally charged individual perceptions as central to migrant decision-making it will appeal to scholars of sociology anthropology politics and geography with interests in migration and diaspora studies. | Trajectories and Imaginaries in Migration The Migrant Actor in Transnational Space

Globalization and the Human Factor Critical Insights

Globalization and the Human Factor Critical Insights

Since the 1980s the world has experienced an unprecedented push towards economic political social cultural financial and technological integration. This integration is a key element of the process of globalization. Much of this revolves around the tensions and conflicts inherent in globalization with emphasis on political economy but at the expense of the human factor (HF) which places people at the centre of all discussions about globalization. This volume brings the HF into the debate and examines to what extent this hitherto marginalized concept holds the key to providing a holistic understanding and contestation of globalization. The volume develops a distinct concept or framework of the human factor; examines the role and significance in global change from an interdisciplinary perspective; analyzes the extent and significance in contemporary globalization discourse; and provokes further debate about the unresolved disputes surrounding globalization. The account will help readers navigate the 'minefields' of the globalization debate. | Globalization and the Human Factor Critical Insights

Languages in Migratory Settings Place Politics and Aesthetics

Languages in Migratory Settings Place Politics and Aesthetics

Research on migration has often focused on push and pull factors; and on the mobilities which drive migration. What has often received less attention and what this book recognises is the importance of the creative activities which occur when strangers meet and settle for long periods of time in new places. Contributions consider case studies in Italy Kyrgyzstan France Portugal and Australia as well as taking a careful look at the Commonwealth City of Glasgow. They explore the making and use of literature (for adults and children) of art installations; translation processes in immigration law; education materials; and intercultural understanding. The research reveals the extent to which migration takes a place and takes different forms as life is made anew out of intercultural encounters which have a geographical specificity. This shift in focus allows a different lens to be placed on languages intercultural communication and the activities of migration and enables the settings themselves to come under scrutiny. This book was originally published as a special issue of Language and Intercultural Communication. | Languages in Migratory Settings Place Politics and Aesthetics

Monster Metaphors When Rhetoric Runs Amok

Monster Metaphors When Rhetoric Runs Amok

This book explores ways in which common metaphors can play a detrimental role in everyday life; how they can grow in outsized importance to dominate their respective terrains and push out alternative perspectives; and how forms of resistance might act to contain their dominance. The volume begins by unpacking the dynamics of metaphors their power and influence and the ways in which they are bolstered by other rhetorical devices. Adams draws on four case studies to illustrate their destructive impact when they eclipse other points of view—the metaphor of mental illness; the metaphor of free-flowing markets; the metaphor of the mind as a mirror and the metaphor of men as naturally superior. Taken together these examples prompt further reflection on the beneficiaries of these monster metaphors and how they promote such metaphors to serve their own interests but also on ways forward for challenging their dominance strategies for preventing their rise and ways of creating space for alternatives. This book will be of interest to scholars interested in the study of metaphor across such fields as linguistics rhetoric and media studies. | Monster Metaphors When Rhetoric Runs Amok

Luck Egalitarianism Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen and His Critics

Luck Egalitarianism Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen and His Critics

This edited volume offers a critical discussion of luck egalitarianism – one of the most prominent views in contemporary political philosophy – through an exploration of the theory of one of its leading proponents Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen. When (if ever) can inequalities in how well peoples’ lives go be justified? Luck egalitarianism provides an appealing answer: inequalities are just if and only if they are the result of the exercise of individual responsibility. Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen lucidly defends and specifies this view in his own book Luck Egalitarianism. The authors in this volume offer a critical discussion of the key features of his view. They discuss disagreements within views which assign an important role to responsibility. They go on to push the limits of luck egalitarianism: what about inequalities between us and the dead? And inequalities between groups? Finally they criticize some of the central tenets of luck egalitarianism including its tendency to avoid action-guiding judgements and its focus on distributions rather than interpersonal relations. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. | Luck Egalitarianism Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen and His Critics
