Summary

In Schooling for Justice, we explore the hidden ways in which the education system perpetuates inequality. Drawing on longitudinal interviews with mothers of school-age children, we reveal how seemingly mundane tasks like helping with homework, getting kids ready for school, or serving on the PTA can have profound effects on what occurs within schools. Our research shows how these activities are often shaped by race, class, and gender, and how they can lead to unequal educational opportunities for children from marginalized backgrounds.

We uncover the ways in which mothers' work in the home and in the school directly impacts their children's educational outcomes. We show how mothers' efforts to support their children's education can be undermined by a system that is often unresponsive to their needs. We also highlight the ways in which mothers can challenge the status quo and advocate for change.

Schooling for Justice is a call to action for a more just and equitable education system. We argue that education is a public good that should be available to all children, regardless of their background. We offer concrete recommendations for creating schools that are welcoming and supportive of all students. We also call on parents, educators, and policymakers to work together to create a system that truly serves all children.

This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about education and social justice. It is a powerful indictment of the current system and a roadmap for a better future.

    The Child and the Curriculum

    "The Child and the Curriculum" is a book written by John Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, and published in 1902. The book is a collection of essays and lectures that explore Dewey's ideas about the relationship between the child and the curriculum in education. 
Dewey argues that education should focus on the child's experiences and interests, rather than on a predetermined curriculum that is disconnected from the child's life. He advocates for a child-centered approach to education that emphasizes active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. 
According to Dewey, the curriculum should be flexible and adaptable to the needs and interests of each child, rather than a fixed set of subjects that all students must learn. He also emphasizes the importance of hands-on, experiential learning, and the integration of subjects across disciplines. 
Overall, "The Child and the Curriculum" is a seminal work in the field of education that continues to influence educational theory and practice today. Dewey's ideas about child-centered education, active learning, and the integration of subjects continue to shape the way educators think about teaching and learning

    In 1981, detective Kay Schucker was the lead investigator in the high-profile missing persons case of Old Dominion University student Janice Starr. The beautiful coed disappeared without a trace from ODU's Norfolk, Virginia campus. Among the only leads was Janice's diary, which included detailed journal entries about her daily activities. As Kay studied the diary—going several years back—she learned that Janice, a US Army veteran, had faced the same challenges in the military that Kay did in law enforcement. They were both women trying to succeed in a man's world. Feeling a kinship toward Janice, Kay became consumed with unraveling the mystery of Janice's disappearance and possible death. 
 
 
 
As the investigation unfolded, Kay began to suspect that Janice had an affair with her ROTC professor at ODU, Army captain Dwight Beddingfield—a well-respected family man married with three kids. Kay was warned by superiors to tread lightly in her investigation of Beddingfield and cautioned not to dig too deeply. But she soon uncovered a life insurance scheme and discovered that Janice had been assigned a series of dangerous tasks by Captain Beddingfield. Did these circumstances play a role in Janice's demise? Was the highly regarded Beddingfield actually a killer? If so, what did he do with Janice's remains?

    A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
  
In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.
