Special Thanks INTRODUCTION Known unofficially for decades as the Old Pueblo, Tucson is building on its vibrant multicultural heritage to create a more urban, yet uniquely Southwestern-style future. The rest of the nation is taking notice that Tucson is on the upswing—a high quality of life, economic opportunity, lots to do and experience, and a happening dining, arts, entertainment, and local events scene. Tucson is being increasingly recognized for its livability, vitality, and cool factor. Tucson is a place like none other. Surrounded by five mountain ranges—the highest reaching more than 9,000 feet in elevation – and home to giant saguaro and other rare cacti in the heart of the living Sonoran Desert, Tucson enjoys an average 350 days of sunshine each year. Tucson hosts eclectic festivals and events year-round, most of them one-of-a-kind and home- grown, celebrating the region’s history and culture, visual and performing arts, a unique food heritage—Tucson is the first American city to be named a City of Gastronomy by UNESCO— local music, outdoor recreation, nature, science and technology, spectator sports, cycling and running.
  • The Joy of Autism: Part 2

    The Joy of Autism: Part 2

    However, even autistic individuals who are profoundly disabled eventually gain the ability to communicate effectively, and to learn, and to reason about their behaviour and about effective ways to exercise control over their environment, their unique individual aspects of autism that go beyond the physiology of autism and the source of the profound intrinsic disabilities will come to light. These aspects of autism involve how they think, how they feel, how they express their sensory preferences and aesthetic sensibilities, and how they experience the world around them. Those aspects of individuality must be accorded the same degree of respect and the same validity of meaning as they would be in a non autistic individual rather than be written off, as they all too often are, as the meaningless products of a monolithically bad affliction." Based on these extremes -- the disabling factors and atypical individuality, Phil says, they are more so disabling because society devalues the atypical aspects and fails to accommodate the disabling ones. That my friends, is what we are working towards -- a place where the group we seek to "help," we listen to. We do not get offended when we are corrected by the group. We are the parents. We have a duty to listen because one day, our children may be the same people correcting others tomorrow. In closing, about assumptions, I post the article written by Ann MacDonald a few days ago in the Seattle Post Intelligencer: By ANNE MCDONALD GUEST COLUMNIST Three years ago, a 6-year-old Seattle girl called Ashley, who had severe disabilities, was, at her parents' request, given a medical treatment called "growth attenuation" to prevent her growing.

  • TLS 585 Literature for Adolescents

    TLS 585 Literature for Adolescents

    Kathy G. Short Office: Education 439, 621-1311 or 621-1843 [email protected] and [email protected] TLS 585: Literature for Adolescents Course Description This course offers teachers, librarians, and others an opportunity to explore and critique the wealth of literature written especially for young adult readers. Course Intent: Young adult literature is in the midst of a renaissance with an explosion of new books and innovative authors exploring a range of topics and issues and trying out a tremendous diversity of formats, styles, and content. These books are enjoying an expanding readership, with some books having a large adult audience in addition to teen readers. We will read widely from novels, picture books, poetry, and nonfiction to build our understandings of cultural and literary diversity through our experiences with varied characters, settings, plots and themes. We will explore the authors, illustrators, and poets who create literature for adolescents, identify recent trends, and examine the role that young adult literature can play in the lives of adolescents in different settings, including classrooms. We will nurture our ability to develop personal meanings and interpretations from literature as well as to critique the cultural lenses through which we view the world and process our experiences. We will challenge media portrayals of adolescents as youth struggling with their identities and making risky choices. We will critically examine whether adolescence is portrayed as a biological stage of “raging hormones,” a purely biologically or psychologically determined life stage, or as a social construct that reflects the varied experiences of teens. Adolescence as a social construct develops from a youth lens with a focus on the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality within the lives of adolescents and portrayals of complex, contradictory, and multiple differences among adolescents.
