Working Time Around the World

Trends in Working Hours, Laws, and Policies in a Global Comparative Perspective

By: Jon C. Messenger,Sangheon Lee,Deirdre McCann

First Published in 2007. Lee, McCann and Messenger trace the theoretical background of the concept of working time before examining recent trends in working time laws in developing countries and countries in transition. The study then shifts its focus to developments in selected countries, considering both broad trends in working time at a national level and the structure and dynamics underlying these trends. The authors provide a remarkable set of policy suggestions that preserve health and safety, are ?family- friendly?, promote gender equality, enhance productivity and facilitate workers? choice and influence over their working hours. This book will be of great interest to policy-makers engaged with working conditions or health and safety, labour market experts, trade union leaders and workers? organizations, as well as academics and researchers in the fields of industrial relations, labour economics and labour law.

Restorative Literacy Practices

Cultivating Community in the Secondary ELA Classroom

By: Deirdre Faughey

What happens when learning is approached as a transaction between teachers, students, texts, and methods? Based on classroom action research conducted in a diverse suburban school district, the author shares a framework that encourages teachers to approach their work with a restorative mindset by focusing on four elements of instruction: methods; literature; relationships; and culture, identity, and language. In each chapter, Faughey shares a scenario or problem from her ELA classroom, the action she took to address it, and the outcomes. Examples include a 9th-grade classroom where students developed podcasts to share their thinking about Romeo and Juliet, a 10th-grade classroom where multilingual learners created graphic essays to share their comparative analysis of Things Fall Apart and the film Black Panther, and a 12th-grade classroom where students reimagined Dracula in order to connect personally with the text through restorying. This accessible text provides resources, lesson plans, and examples of student work, as well as suggestions for teacher preparation programs. Book Features: Shares the perspective of a classroom teacher who understands the daily interactions teachers have with students, as well as the possibilities and limitations of teaching in today’s schools. Demonstrates a problem-solving thought process with a step-by-step explanation of the author’s teaching process. Includes vivid anecdotes about students, pictures of students working together, and examples of student work. Situates each scenario within a body of theoretical and research literature, introducing concepts such as cosmopolitan theory, reader response theory, and literary theory. Offers lesson plans, rubrics, and handouts that teachers can use to inform their own practice. Provides lists of podcasts, videos, articles, and books that can be used when teaching classic texts such as Dubliners, The Great Gatsby, and “The Yellow Wallpaper.”

Body Of Truth

By: Deirdre Savoy

Danger Surrounds Her. . . A nurse in the tough South Bronx, pretty Dana Molloy has always sacrificed her happiness to care for others. Now, on the eve of a much-deserved vacation, a drive-by shooting leaves her wounded and a teenager dead. When officials ignore the crime, Dana is mad as hell, determined to get action, and right up in the face of Bronx homicide detective Jonathan Stone. . . Desire Tempts Her. . . It's a face Dana can't resist, even though it belongs to the last type of man she ever thought she'd fall for--a cop. Despite her intentions to distance herself from him emotionally, Dana feels the pull of an attraction that is at once both mutual and compelling. But when someone tries to run her down, she turns to Jonathan for both his protection and to find out who really wants her dead. . . Can Love Save Her? But the answers she seeks are more complicated than anyone expects. As the sins of the past and the sordidness of the present collide on the mean streets, the path before Dana may lead to Jonathan's arms--or to the wrong place, the wrong time, and the hands of a killer.

Social Work in Northern Ireland

Conflict and Change

By: Heenan, Deirdre,Birrell, Derek

Over the past 40 years, social work in Northern Ireland has been responsive to a number of changing contexts and environments. Throughout 'the Troubles,' social workers had to develop methods of ensuring services were delivered in spite of the surrounding violence and civil disturbance. At the same time, they developed imaginative and creative new services in response to needs and demands. This book outlines the historical development of social work in Northern Ireland, looking at what has been achieved and analyzing the challenges for the future. It considers the role of social work in a society emerging from conflict, facing demographic, technological, and economic changes. Social work in Northern Ireland has been dismissed by policy makers and academics as unique, special, or different, and therefore not worthy of attention. This book demonstrates that international audiences have much to learn from the social work response to a changing political landscape.

Our Rightful Place

A History of Women at the University of Kentucky, 1880–1945

By: Terry L. Birdwhistell,Deirdre A. Scaggs

In 1880, forty-three women walked into the president's office at the University of Kentucky (UK) and signed the student register, becoming the first female students at a public college in the commonwealth. But gaining admittance was only the beginning. For the next sixty-five years—encompassing two world wars, an economic depression, and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment—generations of women at UK claimed and reclaimed their right to an equitable university experience. Their work remains unfinished. Drawing on yearbooks, photographs, and other private collections, Our Rightful Place: A History of Women at the University of Kentucky, 1880–1945 examines the struggle for gender equity in higher education through the lens of one major institution. In the face of shifting resistance, pioneering women constructed opportunities for themselves. Terry L. Birdwhistell and Deirdre A. Scaggs highlight three women—Sarah Blanding, Frances Jewell McVey, and Sarah Bennett Holmes—who fought for access to basic facilities that were denied to UK women for decades, including housing and study spaces. By examining the trials and triumphs of UK's first female undergraduates, faculty, and administrators, this book uncovers the lasting impact women had on higher learning in the early days of coeducation.

Roe V. Wade

Fifty Years After

By: Catherine Clinton,Rhae Lynn Barnes

As an installment of UGA Press's 'History in the Headlines' series, this book offers a rich discussion between highly respected scholars on the historical backdrop and context for contemporary "issues" (from the headlines). In addition to the historical context, these "conversations" demonstrate how historians speak to one another about contentious topics and can contribute in meaningful ways to the public's understanding. This volume focuses on the historical perspective to discussions of abortion and women's rights in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe V. Wade"--

Eden Burning

By: Deirdre Quiery

In a violently divided Northern Ireland, two families confront fear, survival, and their fragile hope for something more . . . Belfast, 1972. On the Crumlin Road, the sectarian Troubles have forced Tom Martin to take drastic measures to protect his family. Across the divide, William McManus pursues his own bloody code, murdering for a cause. When both men underestimate the power of love and the belief in right and wrong it threatens to shake the lives of both families with greater impact than any bomb blast. This compelling, challenging, historical novel tells a timeless story of conflict between and within families, driven by religion, loyalty, and love. Praise for the novels of Deirdre Quiery “Sinister, mysterious, redemptive.” —Rose McGinty, author of Electric Souk “A beautifully conjured story of the depths of the human heart.” —Richard Rohr, New York Times–bestselling author of Breathing Under Water

Irish Nuns and Education in the Anglophone World

A Transnational History

By: Deirdre Raftery

This book charts the history of how Irish-born nuns became involved in education in the Anglophone world. It presents a heretofore undocumented study of how these women left Ireland to establish convent schools and colleges for women around the globe. It challenges the dominant narrative that suggests that Irish teaching Sisters, also commonly called nuns, were part of the colonial project, and shows how they developed their own powerful transnational networks. Though they played a role in the education of the ‘daughters of the Empire’, they retained strong bonds with Ireland, reproducing their own Irish education in many parts of the Anglophone world.
