Beschreibung

Rise of Boarding explores the historical evolution of boarding schools and their lasting influence on education and society. Examining these elite institutions, the book reveals how they have shaped educational norms and societal expectations, particularly in fostering student development. From their origins, boarding schools have served not only as academic institutions but also as incubators for social elites, instilling values such as leadership and self-reliance.

One intriguing aspect is the evolving disciplinary practices, transitioning from strict control to promoting student independence, while consistently emphasizing academic success. The book delves into the transformation of boarding schools, viewing them as significant players in the history of education and social mobility. By integrating historical analysis with sociological and psychological perspectives, Rise of Boarding offers a comprehensive understanding of these institutions. The study uses archival records, student testimonials, and statistical data to support its arguments.

Key areas explored include the psychological impacts of disciplinary methods and the cultivation of student independence. Beginning with the foundational principles of early boarding schools, the book chronologically investigates their development. It then focuses on evolving disciplinary methods, student independence, and measures of academic success, culminating in an analysis of their effects today.

Primarily focusing on institutions in the United States and United Kingdom, this academic exploration provides valuable insights for educators, historians, and anyone interested in the complex relationship between education and social structures.

On Account of Sex - Ruth Bader...

Philippa Strum

Before she became the "Notorious R.B.G." famous for her passionate dissents while serving as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg made her most significant contributions as a lawyer who litigated cases on gender equality before the high court in the 1970s. Beginning with Reed v. Reed (1971)—for which Ginsburg wrote her first full Supreme Court brief, and which was the first time the Court held a sex-based classification to be unconstitutional—Ginsburg became known for her work on the issue of gender equality. Ginsburg established the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU in 1972 and coedited the first law school casebook on sex discrimination as a professor at Columbia Law School. 
 
 
 
Drawing on interviews with RBG and those who knew her, as well as extensive knowledge of the cases themselves, Philippa Strum has provided a legal history of Ginsburg's landmark litigation on behalf of women's rights and gender equality. Those cases changed the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and, along with two Supreme Court cases of the 1980s and 1990s (Mississippi v. Hogan and United States v. Virginia), remain the foundation of constitutional gender jurisprudence today. On Account of Sex shows why RBG became the rock star of the legal world and gives listeners an accessible guide to these widely forgotten but momentous decisions.
