Experimental Writing in Composition

Aesthetics and Pedagogies

By: Patricia Suzanne Sullivan

From the outset, experimental writing has been viewed as a means to afford a more creative space for students to express individuality, underrepresented social realities, and criticisms of dominant socio-political discourses and their institutions. Yet, the recent trend toward multimedia texts has left many composition instructors with little basis from which to assess these new forms and to formulate pedagogies. In this original study, Patricia Suzanne Sullivan provides a critical history of experimental writing theory and its aesthetic foundations and demonstrates their application to current multimodal writing. Sullivan unpacks the work of major scholars in composition and rhetoric and their theories on aesthetics, particularly avant-gardism. She also relates the dialectics that shape these aesthetics and sheds new light on both the positive and negative aspects of experimental writing and its attempts to redefine the writing disciplines. Additionally, she shows how current debates over the value of multimedia texts echo earlier arguments that pitted experimental writing against traditional models. Sullivan further articulates the ways that multimedia is and isn't changing composition pedagogies, and provides insights into resolving these tensions.

The Politics of Trash

How Governments Used Corruption to Clean Cities, 1890–1929

By: Patricia Strach,Kathleen S. Sullivan

The Politics of Trash explains how municipal trash collection solved odorous urban problems using nongovernmental and often unseemly means. Focusing on the persistent problems of filth and the frustration of generations of reformers unable to clean their cities, Patricia Strach and Kathleen S. Sullivan tell a story of dirty politics and administrative innovation that made rapidly expanding American cities livable. The solutions that professionals recommended to rid cities of overflowing waste cans, litter-filled privies, and animal carcasses were largely ignored by city governments. When the efforts of sanitarians, engineers, and reformers failed, public officials turned to the habits and tools of corruption as well as to gender and racial hierarchies. Corruption often provided the political will for public officials to establish garbage collection programs. Effective waste collection involves translating municipal imperatives into new habits and arrangements in homes and other private spaces. To change domestic habits, officials relied on gender hierarchy to make the women of the white, middle-class households in charge of sanitation. When public and private trash cans overflowed, racial and ethnic prejudices were harnessed to single out scavengers, garbage collectors, and neighborhoods by race. These early informal efforts were slowly incorporated into formal administrative processes that created the public-private sanitation systems that prevail in most American cities today. The Politics of Trash locates these hidden resources of governments to challenge presumptions about the formal mechanisms of governing and recovers the presence of residents at the margins, whose experiences can be as overlooked as garbage collection itself. This consideration of municipal garbage collection reveals how political development often relies on undemocratic means with long-term implications for further inequality. Focusing on the resources that cleaned American cities also shows the tenuous connection between political development and modernization.

Implementation Science in Nursing

A Framework for Education and Practice

By: Linda Roussel,Patricia Thomas

A timely resource that shows faculty, students, and clinicians how to bring about and sustain change, Implementation Science in Nursing: A Framework for Education and Practice provides theoretical information and practical application for evidence-based practice (EBP) in health care. The most challenging but crucial part of EBP is implementation, where the practice change is piloted, evaluated, integrated, and sustained. Implementation Science in Nursing: A Framework for Education and Practice focuses on the implementation process, which is the study of methods and strategies that promote the methodical uptake of research findings and EBPs into routine practices to ultimately improve patient care, quality, safety, and outcomes. Drs. Linda A. Roussel and Patricia L. Thomas have combined both didactic teaching methods with real-life exemplars in the text to help readers learn the elements of implementation science and its application. Other important features include: • Excellent exemplars and sample assignments for educators • In-depth discussions on implementation science theories, models, and frameworks applied to real-life scenarios • Thorough explanations of evidence-based practice (EBP), quality improvement (QI) implementation science (IS), and dissemination science (DS) • The latest literature and thinking on implementation science With Implementation Science in Nursing: A Framework for Education and Practice, nursing professionals and students in Doctor of Nursing Practice programs will learn the tools, techniques, and strategies used to advance quality initiatives and improve patient and population health.

Mary Astell

Theorist of Freedom from Domination

By: Patricia Springborg

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Mary Astell

Theorist of Freedom from Domination

By: Patricia Springborg

Philosopher, theologian, educational theorist, feminist and political pamphleteer, Mary Astell was an important figure in the history of ideas of the early modern period. Among the first systematic critics of John Locke's entire corpus, she is best known for the famous question which prefaces her Reflections on Marriage: 'If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?' She is claimed by modern Republican theorists and feminists alike but, as a Royalist High Church Tory, the peculiar constellation of her views sits uneasily with modern commentators. Patricia Springborg's study addresses these apparent paradoxes, recovering the historical and philosophical contexts to her thought. She shows that Astell was not alone in her views; rather, she was part of a cohort of early modern women philosophers who were important for the reception of Descartes and who grappled with the existential problems of a new age.

Raising Parents

Attachment, Representation, and Treatment

By: Patricia M. Crittenden

Helping troubled parents to raise their children adequately is of crucial importance for parents, their children and society at large. Distressed parents have themselves often been endangered and, as a consequence, sometimes endanger their children either through maltreatment or through the effects of parental psychiatric disorder. Raising Parents explains how that happens and clusters parents in terms of the psychological processes that result in maladaptive childrearing. The book then delineates DMM Integrative Treatment in terms of assessment, formulation, and treatment. New formulations are offered for problems that have resisted treatment and cases demonstrate how the ideas can be applied in real treatment settings. The book closes with 10 suggestions for improving professionals’ responses to troubled families and endangered children. This edition of Raising Parents introduces DMM Integrative Treatment and demonstrates how to use it with vulnerable families. DMM Integrative Treatment is an interpersonal process and this book will be essential reading for clinicians from all disciplines, including psychiatry and psychology, social work, nursing and all types of psychotherapy.
