Street Teaching in the Tenderloin
Author: Don Stannard-Friel
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137564377
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
This book is an ethnographic account of San Franciscoâs most inner city neighborhood, the Tenderloin. Using its streets as campus and its people as teachers, Stannard-Friel uses storytelling as a way of explaining why inner city social problems, such as homelessness, drugs, prostitution, untreated mental illness, and death of young people by murders and suicides, exist and persist there. The work delves into who lives in the Tenderloin and why, the role of dedicated service providers in meeting peopleâs needs and encouraging social change, and what lessons university students, many coming from their own challenging backgrounds, learn through community engagement and service learning that encourage understanding, compassion, and meaningful contributions to society. The work also explores how life in the area is changing, and why so many youth report that they âlove living in the Tenderloin.â

Penn State
Author: Michael Bezilla
Publisher: University Park : Pennsylvania State University Press
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Chartered in 1855 as an agricultural college, Penn State was designated Pennsylvania's land-grant school soon after the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862. Through this federal legislation, the institution assumed a legal obligation to offer studies not only in agriculture but also in engineering and other utilitarian fields as well as liberal arts. By giving it land-grant status, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania made the privately chartered Penn State a public instrumentality and assumed a responsibility to assist it in carrying out its work. However, the notion that higher education should have practical value was a novel one in the mid-nineteenth century, and Penn State experienced several decades of drift and uncertainty before winning the confidence of Pennsylvania's citizens and their political leaders. The story of Penn State in the twentieth century is one of continuous expansion in its three-fold mission: instruction, research, and extension. Engineering, agriculture, mineral industries, and science were early strengths; during the Great Depression, liberal arts matured. Further curricular diversification occurred after the Second World War, and a medical school and teaching hospital were added in the 1960s. Penn State was among the earliest land-grant schools to inaugurate extension programs in agriculture, engineering, and home economics. Indeed, the success of extension education indirectly led to the founding of the first branch campuses in the 1930s, from which evolved the extensive Commonwealth Campus system. The history of Penn State encompasses more than academics. It is the personal story of such able leaders as presidents Evan Pugh, George Atherton, and Milton Eisenhower, who saw not the institution that was but the one that could be. It is the story of the confusing and often frustrating relationship between the University and the state government. As much as anything else, it is the story of students, with ample attention given to the social as well as scholastic side of student life. All of this is placed in the context of the history of land-grant education and Pennsylvania's overall educational development. This is an objective, analytical, and at times critical account of Penn State from the earliest days to the 1980s. With hundreds of illustrations and interesting vignettes, this book is a visually exciting and human-oriented history of a major state university.

Weird California

Pages : 298
Book Description
THE WEIRD SERIES Whatâs weird around here? Thatâs a question Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman have enjoyed asking for yearsâand their offbeat sense of curiosity led them to create the best-selling phenomenon, Weird N.J. But why should they stop at New Jersey when thereâs so much thatâs peculiar, odd, and utterly nutty across the whole U.S.? So the two Marksâalong with several other writers with a taste for the strangeâhave focused on some key locales, giving each of them the full âNew Jerseyâ treatment. Spanning the breadth of the country, from New York to California, these are travel guides of a sort, but to the kind of places voyagers will never find on their everyday maps. Instead, theyâre chock-full of local legends, crazy characters, cursed roads, and bizarre roadside attractions. So come along and join the fun: Some of whatâs out there is disturbing, some hilarious, but all of it is unforgettablyâŚweird. Praise for WEIRD N.J.: âThey are the chroniclers of the creepy, bards of the bizarreâŚFrom abandoned asylums to colorful real-life characters past and present, to folk stories of ghosts, monsters, and aliens, Mr. Sceurman and Mr. Moran have created a journal of New Jerseyâs unwritten history.ââThe New York Times. âEnough with the head-severing mobsters of Jersey. The state is packed with far more evil than TV could ever inventâfrom satanic Klan rallies to time-traveling tree farmers. And Weird N.J. has the pictures to prove it.ââRolling Stone. âMark Sceurman and Mark Moran see their native state as others do not. For them, it is a demented Disneyland of worldly, and otherworldly, delights.ââThe Boston Globe. âIf itâs the offbeat, paranormal or downright weird that you craveâŚthere could be no better placeââUSA Today. Praise for Weird U.S. âWeird U.S. is delicious armchair reading. Who can resist an ax-wielding man in a bunny suit, a home shaped like a giant shoe, cannibal albino villages, midget colonies, passages to hell or close relations of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster?ââSan Francisco Chronicle. âWeird U.S. is a marvelous work of entertainment and the basis for a truly unique vacation.ââLibrary Journal. âKudos to Mark Moran and Mark SceurmanâŚThis is the book by which future explorers will chart their road trips in pursuit of the meaning of this nation.ââNew York Press.
