Don't be Fooled A Philosophy of Common Sense

Don't be Fooled A Philosophy of Common Sense

In the debate leading up to the EU referendum in the United Kingdom the British politician Michael Gove declared that people in this country have had enough of experts. In the 2016 Presidential campaign in the United States Donald Trump waged a war against the very idea of expertise. Yet if you are worried about your child's behaviour don't know which laptop to buy or just want to get fit the answer is easy: ask an expert. Where do we draw the line? Why do we appear to know more and more collectively yet less and less individually? Has expertise painted itself into a corner? Can we defend both science and common sense? In this engaging and much-needed book Jan Bransen explores these important questions and more. He argues that the rise of behavioural sciences has caused a sea change in the relationship between science and common sense. He shows how - as recently as the 1960s - common sense and science were allies in the battle against ignorance but that since then populism and chauvinism have claimed common sense as their own. Bransen argues that common sense is a collection of interrelated skills that draw on both an automatic pilot and an investigative attitude where we ask ourselves the right questions. It is the very attitude of open-minded inquiry and questioning that Bransen believes we are at risk of losing in the face of an army of experts. Drawing on fascinating examples such as language and communication money the imaginary world of Endoxa domestic violence and quality of life Don't be Fooled: A Philosophy of Common Sense is a brilliant and wry defence of a skill that is a vital part of being human. | Don't be Fooled A Philosophy of Common Sense

Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprises Nordic Perspectives

Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprises Nordic Perspectives

Migrant women stepping into ethnic catering; homeless men employed to take care of bees producing honey for sale; young people on the edge getting microcredit funding to start social businesses; or former criminals joining forces to create social and economic structures for an honest lifestyle. These initiatives capture the transformative power of social enterprise and might indicate how social enterprises have the potential to make a difference for people and societies. The Nordic countries represent an interesting case. Social enterprises and co-operatives played a significant part in paving the way for the Nordic solicaristic welfare state. As the welfare state grew civil society organizations and co-operatives lost ground to a certain extent. But in recent decades the welfare state has been restructured and simultaneously the concepts social entrepreneurship and social enterprises have gained attention. The Nordic context with extensive public welfare structures and a high degree of citizens’ participation in public affairs might affect the emergence of social entrepreneurship and social enterprises. | Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprises Nordic Perspectives

The Nordic Economic Social and Political Model Challenges in the 21st Century

The Nordic Economic Social and Political Model Challenges in the 21st Century

The Nordic Model is the 20th-century Scandinavian recipe for combining stable democracies individual freedom economic growth and comprehensive systems for social security. But what happens when Sweden and Finland – two countries topping global indexes for competitiveness productivity growth quality of life prosperity and equality – start doubting themselves and their future? Is the Nordic Model at a crossroads? Historically consensus continuity social cohesion and broad social trust have been hailed as key components for the success and for the self-images of Sweden and Finland. In the contemporary however political debates in both countries are increasingly focused on risks threats and worry. Social disintegration political polarization geopolitical anxieties and threat of terrorism are often dominant themes. This book focuses on what appears to be a paradox: countries with low income differences high faith in social institutions and relatively high cultural homogeneity becoming fixated on the fear of polarization disintegration and diminished social trust. Unpacking the presentist discourse of worry and a sense of interregnum at the face of geopolitical tensions digitalization and globalization as well as challenges to democracy the chapters take steps back in time and explore the current conjecture through the eyes of historians and social scientists addressing key aspects of and challenges to both the contemporary and future Nordic Model. In addition the functioning and efficacy of the participatory democracy and current protocols of decision-making are debated. This work is essential reading for students and scholars of the welfare state social reforms and populism as well as Nordic and Scandinavian studies.

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

In sharp contrast with the current top-down medicalized method to treating addiction this book presents the felt sense polyvagal model (FSPM) a paradigm-shifting bottom-up approach that considers addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states and trauma. The felt sense polyvagal model draws from Porges' polyvagal theory Gendelin's felt sense and Lewis' learning model of addiction to offer a graphically illustrated and deeply embodied way of conceptualizing and treating addiction through supporting autonomic regulation. This model de-pathologizes addiction as it teaches embodied practices through tapping into the felt sense the body’s inner wisdom. Chapters first present a theoretical framework and demonstrate the graphic model in both clinician and client versions and then teach the clinician how to use the model in practice by providing detailed treatment strategies. This text’s informed compassionate approach to understanding and treating trauma and addiction is adaptable to any school of psychotherapy and will appeal to addiction experts trauma specialists and clinicians in all mental health fields. | Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

Nordic Whiteness and Migration to the USA A Historical Exploration of Identity

Nordic Whiteness and Migration to the USA A Historical Exploration of Identity

This volume explores the complex and contradictory ways in which the cultural scientific and political myth of whiteness has influenced identities self-perceptions and the process of integration of Nordic immigrants into multicultural and racially segregated American society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In deploying central insights from whiteness studies postcolonial feminist and intersectionality theories it shows that Nordic immigrants - Danes Swedes Finns Norwegians and Sámi - contributed to and challenged American racism and white identity. A diverse group of immigrants they could proclaim themselves ‘hyper-white’ and ‘better citizens than anybody else’ including Anglo-Saxons thus taking for granted the racial bias of American citizenship and ownership rights yet there were also various unexpected intersections of whiteness with ethnicity regional belonging gender sexuality and political views. ‘Nordic whiteness’ then was not a monolithic notion in the USA and could be challenged by other identities which could even turn white Nordic immigrants into marginalised figures. A fascinating study of whiteness and identity among white migrants in the USA Nordic Whiteness will appeal to scholars of sociology history and anthropology with interests in Scandinavian studies migration and diaspora studies and American studies. | Nordic Whiteness and Migration to the USA A Historical Exploration of Identity

The Sense of Smell in the Middle Ages A Source of Certainty

The Sense of Smell in the Middle Ages A Source of Certainty

Odors including those of incense spices cooking and refuse were both ubiquitous and meaningful in central and late medieval Western Europe. The significance of the sense of smell is evident in scholastic Latin texts most of which are untranslated and unedited by modern scholars. Between the late eleventh and thirteenth century medieval scholars developed a logical theory of the workings of the sense of smell based on Greek and Arabic learning. In the thirteenth through fifteenth century medical authors detailed practical applications of smell theory and these were communicated to individuals and governing authorities by the medical profession in the interests of personal and public health. At the same time religious authors read philosophical and medical texts and gave their information religious meaning. This reinterpretation of scholastic philosophy and medicine led to the development of what can be termed a medically aware theology of smell that was communicated to popular audiences alongside traditional olfactory theory in sermons. Its impact on popular thought is reflected in late medieval mystical texts. While the senses have received increasing scholarly attention in recent decades this volume presents the first detailed research into the sense of smell in the later European Middle Ages. | The Sense of Smell in the Middle Ages A Source of Certainty

Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work Current and Future Challenges

Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work Current and Future Challenges

How have three decades of neoliberalism affected the Nordic welfare states as well as the organisation education and practices of social work in those countries? During recent decades the welfare states of Denmark Finland Norway and Sweden have gone through dramatic changes infl uenced by the political triumph of neoliberalism. This has led to both the electoral success of extreme right and mainstream neoliberal parties and to the neoliberal ideological transformations of social democratic parties. The neoliberal doctrine of making governance cheaper has thus been made the focus of governance and has led to increased marginalisation and social problems. This is the first book to comparatively explore the role of neoliberal reforms on social work and social policy across the Nordic welfare states. The richly theoretical and empirical chapters explore and illustrate the consequences of the dominance of neoliberal policies and provide an analysis of the effects of globalisation glocalisation welfare nationalism symbolic violence and forced migration. The book provides valuable insights into the shortcomings of retreating welfare states in a time of increasing glocal social problems. Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work should be considered essential reading for critical social work education. Students scholars educators and researchers of Nordic countries and beyond have much to learn from this book. | Neoliberalism Nordic Welfare States and Social Work Current and Future Challenges

The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

Sense of belonging refers to the extent a student feels included accepted valued and supported on their campus. The developmental process of belonging is interwoven with the social identity development of diverse college students. Moreover belonging is influenced by the campus environment relationships and involvement opportunities as well as a need to master the student role and achieve academic success. Although the construct of sense of belonging is complex and multilayered a consistent theme across the chapters in this book is that the relationship between sense of belonging and intersectionality of identity cannot be ignored and must be integrated into any approach to fostering belonging. Over the last 10 years colleges and universities have started grappling with the notion that their approaches to maintaining and increasing student retention persistence and graduation rates were no longer working. As focus shifted to uncovering barriers to student success while concurrently recognizing student success as more than solely academic factors the term “student sense of belonging” gained traction in both academic and co-curricular settings. The editors noticed the lack of a consistent definition or an overarching theoretical approach as well as a struggle to connect disparate research. A compendium of research applications and approaches to sense of belonging did not exist so they brought this book into being to serve as a single point of reference in an emerging and promising field of study. | The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

Consistent Daily Routines Work:' Adaptable to any curriculum Shumway' s 5 10 or 15 minute warm-up routines are an easy and effective way to build and solidify students' number sense foundations as a supplement to any program Planning and Facilitating Your Classroom:' No matter how familiar the routine Shumway provides insight on how to keep daily warm-ups fresh. She reveals careful thinking and planning that goes into each routine and offers detailed vignettes and dialogues of how they unfold in real classrooms Assessment Strategies:' As students engage in the process each routine becomes an exciting opportunity to gain insight into where they are in their understanding and help students articulate their mathematical thinking Identify Big Ideas: Not only will these math routines help develop students' mathematical understanding as they move towards using standard algorithms but teachers will learn to better recognize the big ideas that emerge in discussions how to encourage important strategies based in number sense and how to facilitate conversations on key mathematical concepts. These routines may appear in other places [but] I have never seen them written in such detail and with so many variations. . Although she makes what she does sound easy we all know that teaching math well is anything but easy. It is challenging and complex. Unpacking what students are saying helping them make connections not only to the math but to each other's ideas while simultaneously recording their ideas using mathematical models visuals or equations is no easy task. Jessica provides wonderful visuals examples of student work and so much more to help educators develop the tools they need to improve their practice and in so doing improve student learning.

Contested Hospitalities in a Time of Migration Religious and Secular Counterspaces in the Nordic Region

Contested Hospitalities in a Time of Migration Religious and Secular Counterspaces in the Nordic Region

This book explores the duality of openness and restriction in approaches to migrants in the Nordic countries. As borders have become less permeable to non-Europeans it presents research on civil society practices that oppose the existing border regimes and examine the values that they express. The volume offers case studies from across the region that demonstrate opposition to increasingly restricted borders and which seek to offer hospitality to migrant. One topic is whether these practices impact and transform the Nordic Protestant trajectory. The book considers whether such actions are indicative of new sensibilities and values in which traditional categories and binaries are becoming less relevant. It also discusses what these practices of hospitality indicate about the changing relationship between voluntary organizations and the Nordic welfare states in the time of migration. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology anthropology and religious studies with interests in migration civil society resistance and social values. | Contested Hospitalities in a Time of Migration Religious and Secular Counterspaces in the Nordic Region
