Stealing from the Mother

The Marginalization of Women in Education and Psychology from 1900-2010

By: Jerry Aldridge,Lois McFadyen Christensen

This book is the only available compilation of women in education and psychology whose work has been marginalized, forgotten, or attributed to their male colleagues. This resource includes women from the progressive era (1900-1950), the psychological period (1950-2000), and the political period (2000-2010). Caucasian and African American scholars from the Northeast, Southern, and Midwestern states are highlighted. Some of the chapters are shorter than others due to the limited literature concerning some of the women. In addition, chapters describing the elimination of gender inequity in early childhood education, the marginalization of women in education under No Child Left Behind as well as discrimination of women in higher education are included. The book concludes with the need to rethink teacher education to include the exceptional contributions of the women who are showcased in this book. Finally, this source is an attempt to eliminate gender inequity in teacher education and educational psychology by restoring the contributions of feminine scholars.

Marilyn

The Passion and the Paradox

By: Lois Banner

An excellent book ... fascinating.' Telegraph 'A revelatory and intelligent tribute' Good Housekeeping ______________________________ Lois Banner's biography is revelatory. Banner had access to material about Marilyn Munroe that no one else has seen, from a trove of personal papers to facts and anecdotes about her childhood and her death. Banner traces the eleven foster homes Marilyn went to, uncovering the sexual abuse she suffered and her bisexuality. She is also the first biographer to read Monroe's psychiatric records, revealing a woman deeply rooted in paradox. No biographer before has attempted to analyse - much less realise - most of these aspects of her personality. Lois Banner has. ______________________________ 'Banner gives us a powerful portrayal of a savvy self-publicist who worked tirelessly to ensure her trajectory from glamour model to screen goddess' Frances Wilson, Sunday Telegraph 'Book of the Week

Ideal Beauty

The Life and Times of Greta Garbo

By: Lois W. Banner

One of the silver screen’s greatest beauties, Greta Garbo was also one of its most profound enigmas. A star in both silent pictures and talkies, Garbo kept viewers riveted with understated performances that suggested deep melancholy and strong desires roiling just under the surface. And offscreen, the intensely private Garbo was perhaps even more mysterious and alluring, as her retirement from Hollywood at age thirty-six only fueled the public’s fascination. Ideal Beauty reveals the woman behind the mystique, a woman who overcame an impoverished childhood to become a student at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Academy, an actress in European films, and ultimately a Hollywood star. Chronicling her tough negotiations with Louis B. Mayer at MGM, it shows how Garbo carved out enough power in Hollywood to craft a distinctly new feminist screen presence in films like Queen Christina. Banner draws on over ten years of in-depth archival research in Sweden, Germany, France, and the United States to demonstrate how, away from the camera’s glare, Garbo’s life was even more intriguing. Ideal Beauty takes a fresh look at an icon who helped to define female beauty in the twentieth century and provides answers to much-debated questions about Garbo’s childhood, sexuality, career, illnesses and breakdowns, and spiritual awakening.

Pooled Time Series Analysis

SAGE Publications

By: Lois W. Sayrs

Researchers have often been troubled with relevant data available from both temporal observations at regular intervals (time series) and from observations at single points of time (cross section). Pooled Times Series Analysis combines time series and cross- sectional data to provide the researcher with an efficient method of analysis and improved estimates of the population being studied.

Critical Pedagogy for Early Childhood and Elementary Educators

By: Lois Christensen,Jerry Aldridge

Among the welter of books on critical pedagogy, this volume will be especially valued for its direct focus on early years and elementary educators. Benefiting from the considered views of two veteran teachers of critical pedagogy, the volume is far more than a knowledge-rich resource, offering as it does vital support in applying the tenets of critical pedagogy to classroom practice. Alongside specific examples of teachers engaging in critical pedagogy in elementary and early-childhood classrooms, the material features close analysis and guidance that will help ease teachers into reflective practice in critical pedagogy that is based on praxis—the point at which theory and practice meet and interact. Indeed, the authors move readers even further than this, showing how students as well as teachers can transform their experience of education through critical reflection. After surveying the field of critical pedagogy, the authors discuss the core precepts that inform the classroom practice of critical pedagogues. They move on to discuss how vital these early and elementary years are in forging children’s nascent identities. Other topics covered include discrimination, gender issues, the development of social justice projects, and the social transformations that critical pedagogy can manifest in the classroom. Finally, this resource explains how teachers can move forward in their classroom practice to enhance equity, justice and social responsibility. This book is essential reading for classroom practitioners in early and elementary education, whether neophytes or veterans, who are interested in deploying this powerful educational paradigm in their work.

Oops, I Lost My Sense of Humor

By: Lois M. Santalo,Lois Wells Santalo

The doctor said, "Don't try it—you could die on the operating table." A scary thought, but the alternative was worse—waiting a few months for certain death. The author decides to go with the riskier option, which offers hope for the future. In this poignant true story, a woman reflects on her life, loves, family and marriage as she comes to terms with her mortality. "This memior shows us older folks as we really are rather than as people perceive us."—Virginia Welsh, teacher "MAGNIFICENT! The word-flow is poetry. I wonder if there's an editor with the courage to publish it?"—Howard Fisher, author of Salome

Robert Cole's World

Agriculture and Society in Early Maryland

By: Lois Green Carr,Russell R. Menard,Lorena S. Walsh

In 1652 Robert Cole, an English Catholic, moved with his family and servants to St. Mary's County, Maryland. Using this family's story as a case study, the authors of Robert Cole's World provide an intimate portrait of the social and economic life of a middling planter in the seveneenth-century Chesapeake, including work routines and agricultural techniques, the upbringing of children, neighborhood relationships and community formation, and the role of religion. The Cole Plantation account, a record that details what the plantation produced, consumed, purchased, and sold over a twelve-year period, is the only known surviving document of its kind for seventeenth-century British America. Along with Cole's will, it serves as the framework around which the authors build their analysis. Drawing on these and other records, they present Cole as an exemplar of the ordinary planter whose success created the capital base for the slave-based plantation society of the eighteenth century.
