The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education This collection brings together many of the world’s leading sociologists of education to explore and address key issues and concerns within the discipline. The chapters draw upon theory and research to provide new accounts of contemporary educational processes, global trends, and changing and enduring forms of social conflict and social inequality. The research, conducted by leading international scholars in the field, indicates that two complexly interrelated agendas are discernible in the heat and noise of educational change over the past 25 years. The first rests on a clear articulation by the state of its requirements of education. The second promotes at least the appearance of greater autonomy on the part of educational institutions in the delivery of those requirements. The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education examines the ways in which the sociology of education has responded to these two political agendas, addressing a range of issues which cover three key areas: • perspectives and theories; • social processes and practices; • inequalities and resistances. The book strongly communicates the vibrancy and diversity of the sociology of education and the nature of ‘sociological work’ in this field. It will be a primary resource for teachers, as well as a title of major interest to practising sociologists of education. Michael W.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Abused Children with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Development and Evaluation of a Manualised Treatment Programme A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology at Massey University, Albany New Zealand Jacqueline Susan Feather 2007 This thesis is dedicated to my parents, Reg and June Collins, who gave me a wonderful childhood full of fun and adventure, and a perfect base upon which to build this work. ABSTRACT A manualised trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) programme was developed for multiply-abused children diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Feather & Ronan, 2004) referred to the specialist clinic of the statutory child protection agency in New Zealand. The TF-CBT protocol was based on: (1) a review of the history of child abuse (CA) and child protection in New Zealand and internationally, with particular reference to professional developments and the role of psychologists in ameliorating CA; (2) a conceptualisation of the clinical presentation of CA in children; (3) a review of the field of psychotraumatology and theoretical models, including locally developed, relevant to the development of a treatment programme for traumatised abused children in a child protection setting in New Zealand; and (4) a review of evidence-based practice, treatment outcome models, and current empirical research related to developing an effective treatment model in this area.

First, I explore how home educators use technology for homeschooling. Second, I investigate how home educators see themselves as teachers when using technology. Several themes emerged from the data revealing that home educators believe technology enables them to provide high quality curriculum and individualized instruction and to create a constructive and engaging learning environment for their children. Data were collected by convenience sampling with a survey of 316 (N = 316) home educators from 52 different territories, states, provinces, and countries across the globe, a nonrandom sample which is not representative of the entire homeschooling population. The quantitative data provide a specific picture of home education, reasons for homeschooling, and home educators’ perceptions of technology use in their homeschool.

  • Housing, Neighborhoods, and Schools of Opportunity
    Insights into Housing and Community Development Policy U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development | Office of Policy Development and Research Breaking Down Barriers: Housing, Neighborhoods, and Schools of Opportunity Today, past policy choices and an array of systemic forces—including persistent housing discrimination—have segregated many children in distressed, underresourced neighborhoods and high-poverty, low-quality schools. High-poverty schools face many barriers to success. Moreover, the effects of housing and neighborhoods on children are intertwined, offering multiple, potentially complementary ways to support children’s development. Although school choice can help students in high- poverty neighborhoods access higher-quality schools, where children live significantly affects their school options: housing strategies are an important complement to choice. Housing policy can enable more children to benefit from neighborhoods and schools of opportunity both by investing where children already are and by enabling families to make opportunity moves. Place-based housing interventions where children currently live and attend school can support low-income students’ educa- tion and align with initiatives to improve high-poverty districts and schools. Public housing agencies (PHAs) are well-placed to support children’s success in school in many ways, such as helping parents engage in their children’s education. Also, integrative housing and education initiatives, such as magnet schools in revitalizing areas and housing mobility programs, can reinforce the integrative student assignment plans many districts have implemented.1 Diverse schools can help children develop cross-racial trust and greater capacity to navigate cultural differences,2 and evidence suggests that all groups of children who attend integrated schools experience significant educational benefits.3 This report reviews recent research and identifies key steps policymakers can take to improve children’s access to high-quality neighborhoods and schools.

  • Are Children Overstructured?: Involvement in Adult-Organized Activities and Children’S Outcomes
    ARE CHILDREN OVERSTRUCTURED?: INVOLVEMENT IN ADULT-ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES AND CHILDREN’S OUTCOMES A THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in The Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly M. Turpin, B.A. *** The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Dr. Douglas B. Downey, Adviser Approved By: Dr. Liana Sayer ________________________ Adviser Dr. Zhenchao Qian Graduate Department of Sociology ABSTRACT Changes in how Americans view the role of children have prompted an increase in the deliberate cultivation of children's skills through intensive and structured parenting. With children participating in more structured activities as a result of this shift in childrearing philosophies, there are many reasons to question the benefits of these increasingly "hurried schedules." Surprisingly, however, scholars have ignored possible negative ramifications by assuming that structured activities have a simple, linear relationship with children's well-being. With more detailed modeling, I test whether the functional form of the relationship is linear, threshold, or curvilinear by analyzing a sample of 17,527 elementary-age children from The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Kindergarten Class of 1998-99. Findings primarily reveal a threshold relationship. For example, participation in two (versus none or one) structured activities per month was associated with greater well-being among children, but further levels of participation in structured activities resulted in no additional benefit. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Douglas Downey whose insightful comments delivered at rapid speed was invaluable to my work. He is also responsible for alerting me to the body of literature surrounding concerted cultivation and inspiring me to tackle the “hurried child” hypothesis in my own work.

  • Evil Habits: New Zealand's Anti-Masturbation Fervour, 1860S
    New Zealand Journal of History, 50, 1 (2016) Evil Habits NEW ZEALAND’S ANTI-MASTURBATION FERVOUR, 1860s–1960s1 IN DUNEDIN IN 1883, SEVEN-YEAR-OLD JOSEPH WAIN DIED. His parents had beaten him, tied his hands to his back and confined him to his bedroom without food, drink or a source of heat. At the inquest Dr Hocken explained that ‘this little boy was given to an evil habit, and that the correction was administered to cure him’. In desperation Joseph’s father had approached Dr Isaiah De Zouche in the hope of having Joseph circumcised to stop the ‘evil habit’.2 ‘Evil habit’ was a euphemism for masturbation, a term indicating ‘self-stimulation which is deliberate and designed to effect erotic arousal’.3 The post mortem revealed that Joseph had a fractured arm, but had died from tuberculosis. There had been irritation in the bladder and he had probably passed a kidney stone.4 Joseph was simply trying to gain relief, yet his parents interpreted his actions as autoerotic and therefore masturbatory – a commonly made parental and medical error when dealing with prepubertal boys during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Why did Joseph’s parents so vehemently fear masturbation? The answer lay in a blend of Judeo- Christian religious dogma and nineteenth-century mainstream medicine and quackery, both of which fed off an inheritance of the eighteenth century’s erroneous comprehension of male sexuality.5 Historians have provided various accounts of the rise and fall of masturbation anxiety. Jean Stengers and Anne Van Neck have given an overview

Going beyond the question of whether family structure affects child outcomes—a topic that’s already been covered at length, including in previous Future of Children volumes—she examines how family structure differentially affects children. One important finding from recent studies is that growing up outside a family with two biological, married parents yields especially negative consequences for boys as compared to girls, including poorer educational outcomes and higher rates of criminal involvement. Wasserman describes mechanisms that may link family structure to children’s outcomes, in terms of both the main effect and the differences between effects on boys and on girls. These include same-gender role models in the household and in the neighborhood, parental resources (including money, time, and more), parenting quantity and quality (with attention to how parents allocate their time to children of different genders), and the differences in how boys and girls respond to parental inputs, among other hypotheses.

This culture of pregnancy was intimately facilitated by the joint explosion of dailies and periodicals and the rise of “experts,” ranging from doctors presiding over the birthing chamber to self-help books dictating how women should control their birth-giving. In response to this culture of pregnancy, some modernist writers portray the feminine reproductive body as a suffering entity that can be saved by an alignment with traditionally- coded masculine aspects of the mind.
