Comparing Special Education: Origins to Contemporary Paradoxes

201111083<p>#Hardcover xii 346 pages NOT ex-library. Limited signs of gentle wear book is clean and bright with unmarked text free of inscriptions and stamps firmly bound. Untorn dust jacket shows short scratches and regular shelfwear. -- Based on a comprehensive cross-disciplinary comparative and historical inquiry this book investigates the evolution and current paradoxes of special education systems across diverse national contexts with the aim of uncovering how ideas institutions and classifications shape both educational opportunity and social stratification. Divided into three parts it begins by tracing the origins of special education to Enlightenment-era debates on human nature educability and citizenship illustrating how foundational categories of disability were formed in conjunction with emerging state responsibilities charitable institutions and early therapeutic pedagogies. The book then moves to a systematic comparison of special education systems identifying how these systems institutionalized in different ways during the 19th and 20th centuries depending on national trajectories of centralization welfare development and professionalization. For example it contrasts the segregated school model typical of Germany with the class-based integration model seen in the United States highlighting how governance structures legal cultures and classificatory systems contributed to divergent patterns in special education delivery. The third part addresses contemporary paradoxes such as the simultaneous rise of inclusive education rhetoric and practices of segregation the contradictory outcomes of rights-based educational reforms and the intersection of disability classification with broader mechanisms of social control including the juvenile justice system. Particular attention is given to the implications of centralized vs decentralized governance for the implementation of inclusive practices showing how political structure continues to influence the organization and delivery of services. The analysis also emphasizes the centrality of categorical labeling and the consequences these classifications have on students' life chances institutional trajectories and the reproduction of inequality. Drawing on data from international organizations national statistics legal decisions and fieldwork the authors use both macro-sociological and institutional analysis to uncover the social logics and historical contingencies that underlie the expansion adaptation and persistence of special education systems. The book contributes a dual framework of analysis: first two structural dimensions-segregation vs. inclusion and centralization vs. decentralization; and second the identification of institutional "logics" that shape policy implementation and resistance to reform across cultural and political contexts. For scholars and advanced students in sociology of education disability studies comparative education and policy research the book offers empirically grounded typologies and theoretical models that can be applied to case study design institutional evaluation or transnational research. Its comparative perspective particularly the integration of Western and non-Western models makes it relevant for global education policy analysis while its emphasis on interdisciplinary synthesis provides conceptual tools for navigating the complexity of special and inclusive education systems. The volume can also support curriculum development and reform analysis by providing historical depth system-level comparisons and an account of how discursive shifts e.g. from medical to social models of disability interact with institutional structures. Ultimately it equips researchers and policy analysts with a critical understanding of how national systems of special education have emerged and diverged.</p> Stanford University Press hardcover

PASSIONATE PATRON; The Life of Alexander Hardcastle and the Greek Temples of Agrigento

200935075Archaeopress Access Archaeology. 2009. Softcover. Near Fine. Very faint shelfwear.; In this account Alexandra Richardson reveals as she says in her introduction her quest to get to know a ‘remarkable man who wholly dedicated his later life and finances to restoring and excavating what is surely one of the finest classical Greek sites in the Western Mediterranean. I rapidly began to be drawn in to the sketchy sometimes speculative details surrounding the remarkable Captain Hardcastle…I thought back to his unlit villa beside the theatrically shining temples and the more I got to know the man the more it seemed entirely in keeping with his personality that his former home should still be not be sharing the spotlight with the great monuments he was so intimately involved with. He remained a mysterious and private person who kept his own counsel throughout life. I was to discover that he wrote very few letters home to his family from the Far East South Africa Italy. And when he did write to the chosen few I had to learn to read between the lines. Luckily his own family wrote to one another making mention of him…With so little to go on it was just the sort of challenge that a researcher relishes. The Anglo-Italian theme was yet another appeal my instinctive habitat. No full-scale biography had ever been written about him and thus I was not stepping on any toes. I had the field all to myself piecing together a profile from many sources set largely in a period of modern Sicilian history the 1920s and early ‘30s rarely “popularised” by foreign writers. That was all how the four-year journey began.’ 'This book is the labour of years of research and scholarship. In Alexandra Richardson's book the personality of Alexander Hardcastle comes to life in all its many facets. Her detailed account of the history of Agrigento is historically correct and written in a fluid style. Her descriptions of Sicily are accurate and lyrical her cameos of Sicilians witty and a pleasure to read. Richardson's rigorous research describes his painful and determined iter from London to Girgenti his stubborness and his resilience.' - Simonetta Agnello Hornby 'The Almond Picker'; Archaeological Lives; 9.5 X 6.6 X 0.3 inches; 143 pages . 1905739281 .
