Here's to Our Fraternity
Author: Marianne Rachel Sanua
Publisher: UPNE
ISBN: 9780874518795
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
In the late 1800s an increasingly dominant fixture of student life on college campuses was the fraternity, groups of like-minded individuals who banded together based on "Greek" intellectual and social ideals. One such society was Zeta Beta Tau, founded by Dr. Richard James Horatio Gottheil and fourteen charter members at Columbia University in 1898 as a forum where young Jewish men could discuss their faith, enhance pride in their heritage, and embrace the ideals of the Zionist movement. In this study, Marianne Sanua follows the evolution of the fraternity from its rabbinic roots to its contemporary non-sectarianism and shows how ZBT's social opportunities, hitherto denied its members in the non-Jewish world, were a means of proving "first on the college campus and later to all the world that young Jewish men could be the equal of their best Gentile counterparts in achievement, behavior, and gentlemanly bearing". In chronicling ZBT, however, Sanua also examines broader issues like anti-Semitism, Zionism, assimilation, the presence of Jews in academe, and the changing goals and expectations of generations of the fraternity's members.

Gender, Sexuality and Race in the Digital Age
Author: D. Nicole Farris
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030298558
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This book provides a unique analysis of the intersection between gender, sexuality, race, and social media. While early scholarship identified the internet as being inherently egalitarian, this volume presents the internet as a “real” social place where inequalities matter and manifest in particular ways according to the architectures of particular platforms. This volume utilizes innovative methodologies to analyze how internet users both re-inscribe and resist inequalities of gender, sexuality, and race. It describes how the internet has ameliorated and bridged geographic and numerical limits on community formation, and this volume examines how the functioning of social inequalities differs on- and offline.

Understanding the Science and Practice of Public Health
Author: Richard Crosby
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111986092X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
A civically minded approach to public health, perfect for students on any career path Understanding the Science and Practice of Public Health is an exciting new textbook designed specifically for introductory public health courses at the college level. In a world rapidly being challenged by climate change, starvation, water shortages, and epidemics—and in a nation plagued by obesity, diabetes, early onset cardiovascular disease, cancer, and gun violence—this book provides students with crucial information that they’ll need to understand what’s going on around them. Thematically, this book focuses on the viewpoint that “We the People” have the ultimate responsibility to collectively assure the conditions that allow people to successfully seek health and well-being. Public health is a public responsibility (a maxim often repeated in the book), and college and university students must be fully informed to optimally meet this vital civic obligation. Written to be accessible to students in any major, this unique text prepares students to participate in the daily actions needed (including advocacy and support of health-related regulations and policy) to become participants in public health practice, rather than passive recipients. Readers will: Get an accessible introduction to the most pressing public health issues of today Learn how public health is promoted in society using real-world examples Become knowledgeable about public health so you can make informed decisions at the voting booth and in daily life Discover the practice of public health as it applies to pandemics, substance abuse, climate change, gun violence, and more The science and practice of public health depends on a well-informed and highly engaged population of civic-minded adults. This book will enable students’ enthusiastic participation in savings lives and promoting health—no matter what career path they decide to pursue.

Reconstructing Kobe
Author: David W. Edgington
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774859415
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The Hanshin Earthquake was the largest disaster to affect postwar Japan and one of the most destructive postwar natural disasters to strike a developed country. Although the media focused on the disaster's immediate effects, the long-term reconstruction efforts have gone largely unexplored. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, David Edgington records the first ten years of reconstruction and recovery and asks whether planners successfully exploited opportunities to make a more sustainable and disaster-proof city. This book is an intricate investigation of one of the largest redevelopment projects in recent memory.

Teaching Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty
Author: Gilbert Burgh
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000474186
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
The strength of democracy lies in its ability to self-correct, to solve problems and adapt to new challenges. However, increased volatility, resulting from multiple crises on multiple fronts – humanitarian, financial, and environmental – is testing this ability. By offering a new framework for democratic education, Teaching Democracy in an Age of Uncertainty begins a dialogue with education professionals towards the reconstruction of education and by extension our social, cultural and political institutions. This book is the first monograph on philosophy with children to focus on democratic education. The book examines the ways in which education can either perpetuate or disrupt harmful social and political practices and narratives at the classroom level. It is a rethinking of civics and citizenship education as place-responsive learning aimed at understanding and improving human-environment relations to not only face an uncertain world, but also to face the inevitable challenges of democratic disagreement beyond merely promoting pluralism, tolerance and agreement. When viewed as a way of life democracy becomes both a goal and a teaching method for developing civic literacy to enable students to articulate and apprehend more than just the predominant political narrative, but to reshape it. This book will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, political science, education, democratic theory, civics and citizenship studies, and peace education research.
