The fashionable MuslimGopi, Dallas Raj January 2010 (has links)
The Fashionable Muslim is a story about pragmatism, but not obviously so. It’s also a story about how too much is choice as opposed to too little choice can be a major cause of scepticism.

Mångkulturalitet i skolan : en grupp gymnasielärares förhållningssätt till att arbeta med etnisk mångkulturalitet i skolanOlofsson, Anna, Lundh, Malin January 2008 (has links)
The aim of this study has been to investigate a group of upper secondary school teachers’ approach to work with the ethnic multi-culturalism that characterises the Swedish society of today and to point to the obstacles and possibilities the teachers see to work with this. With the help of interviews with eight teachers satisfying results could be reached. The results showed that it was possible to distinguish three different ways to think and act when it comes to the work with ethnic multi-culturalism in school and teaching. The approaches entailed different consequences on the way the teachers conduct their teaching. It was also shown that the teachers experience that there are more obstacles than possibilities to work with ethnic multi-culturalism. However, the obstacles that were pointed-out, for example lack of time, are all possible to overcome.

Race, ethnicity and sex therapy : sex therapy discourses on the nature of race and ethnicity, and on their implications for sexuality, sexual problems and sex therapyMulholland, Jon January 2004 (has links)
Contemporary sex therapy, as a social location within which interventions are made in the field of human sexuality, constitutes a terminal point through which discourses of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality interface and become meditated. It is also a site in which the particular outcomes of this mediation can be expected to have a significant bearing upon clients who, as social and sexual subjects, carry diverse racialised and ethnicised identities. Though a substantial literature exists pertaining to classical sexology, relatively little is sociologically known about contemporary sex therapy within the UK, and nothing is known of the manner in which discourses of race and ethnicity operate within the field. This exploratory research examines the discourses produced by sex therapists (both in talk and text) regarding the nature and significance of race and ethnicity, and the substantive qualities, significance and effects attributed to these in shaping patterns of human sexuality, sexual dysfunction and sex therapy. The aim is to analyse and account for these discourses as the products of underlying cognitive models of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, as these have evolved within the particular social location of sex therapy (as a deposit of a broader racialised and ethnicised social consciousness), and formed the basis of an active utilisation by therapists in the pursuit of `preferred renditions' of sex therapy practice. The thesis also aims to explore sex therapists' accounts of the necessary and sufficient conditions for the achievement of effective, equitable and non-oppressive therapeutic intervention in a context of racial and ethnic diversity. The research supports a rendition of sex therapy as a complex constituency, struggling to make sense of the nature and significance of race and ethnicity as sources of difference, and as dimensions of the social subject. Liberal-humanistic, biological-essentialist and versions of ethnic essentialism compete and coalesce as the primary elements of sex therapists' constructions of race and ethnicity as dimensions of the gendered sexual subject, informing their accounts of the necessary and sufficient conditions for the delivery of appropriate, sensitive and non-oppressive praxis.

Psychologists and race : exploring the identities of South African trainee clinical psychologists with reference to working in multiracial contextsNair, Sorayah 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DPhil (Psychology))—University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / The question of how to address diversity in the professional training of clinical psychologists is
of concern in South Africa and elsewhere. This concern is particularly salient in contemporary
South Africa, where much of the sociopolitical discourse centres on issues of race,
transformation, relevance and redress. This research is in line with current debates, and set out to
explore the self articulated racial identities as well as the impact of those identities on the work of
trainees in the second year of their clinical psychology masters degree, at three universities in the
Western Cape province of South Africa. Trainees’ perceptions of the role of the universities in
facilitating the working through of challenges identified in trainees’ racial identities and in
facilitating multiracial competencies, were also explored in this study.
Individual interviews were conducted with nineteen trainee psychologists. A minimally
structured questionnaire was used in this qualitative inquiry. The theoretical framework
underpinning the methodology used in this thesis endeavour, with a critical lens as background, is
primarily supported by the “interpretive” or “hermeneutic” approach to psychological theory.
Critical theory offered further support to understanding some of the complex issues in working
with racialised discourses.
Whilst all trainees identified themselves in racial terms, race continues to be a complex and, for
many, a painful construct. For many, the family has been the primary source of racial
socialisation, largely premised on essentialist, stereotypical discourse. With regard to the impact
of their racial identity on their work, many indicate that their race significantly impacted on this.
They reported a particular concern with working in cross-racial dyads. Racial difference was
sometimes reported to enhance the clinical process, but was far more often experienced as a
difficulty. The trainees were unanimous that the universities at which they had studied had fallen
far short of what they would have wished in terms of facilitating multiracial competencies.
The findings suggest that whilst legislation has changed the political profile of South Africa, the
process of transformation within the psychological sites studied, is cause for concern. The
dissatisfaction with the training provided, for many trainees centres around issues of relevance to
the South African context. Despite efforts by some universities to diversify the racial profile of
trainees, in the attempt to address the needs of people of colour, trainees believe efforts to be
insufficient. While this study did not collect data, that could corroborate or question the opinions of trainees, results clearly suggest that trainee psychologists do not believe universities are
currently doing enough. The implications of the trainees’ views are discussed and implications
considered for trainees, trainers, the users of psychological services, and for the role of
psychology as a discipline in civil society.

Mångfald på museerna : Arbetet med mångfald vid kommunala museer, länsmuseer och statliga museer ur ett kulturpolitiskt perspektiv / Plurality at the Museums : Efforts of Plurality at Civic Museums, Provincial Museums and State Museums from a Culture Political PerspectiveSoldal, Kristoffer January 2012 (has links)
How do museums work with plurality in their organizations and in the production of exhibitions and other activities? This paper examines how civic museums, provincial museums and state museums work with plurality from a perspective of culture policies, particularly in relation to the government bill Tid för kultur, issued by the Swedish government in 2009. All together I examine 25 museums and their efforts to include marginalized groups in their activities and exhibitions. To do so I have studied four possible measures that are available for the museums. This includes the following: projects that pay attention to a marginalized group or their living conditions; projects that are specifically created for a marginalized group; projects that include a marginalized group in the museums preparations; and projects were museums give full responsibility to a marginalized group. I have also examined how plurality have been presented – as isolated cultures and cultural expressions or as hybrids and interchangeable phenomenons – and to what extent the museums are ready to involve marginalized groups in their physical environment and in their exhibition and activity programs. Based on three different levels of conduct I evaluate how far the museums have reached and what differences there are between civic museums, provincial museums and state museums. My research shows that Swedish museums in general are on their way to work successfully with plurality and establish a plurality perspective in the whole organization. The research also shows that there are differences between civic museums, provincial museums and state museums. In general, state museums are better to include marginalized groups in their productions and to firmly establish a perspective of plurality in their organization. On the contrary, the research shows that many museums lack certain features in their efforts to work towards a marginalized group. One of those features is the ability to make these efforts part of the museums permanent activities. Civic museums and provincial museums also have a greater freedom of strengthen their regional identity than compared to the state museums ability to strengthen the national identity. A circumstance that can have consequences for culture policies in Sweden and the future of plurality efforts at the museums.

Parent support of learning in an international reception class in Copenhagen, DenmarkCassidy, Bernice Teresa 30 November 2006 (has links)
Parents play an integral role in the support of early learning. This study focuses on parent support of learning in an international reception class in Copenhagen, Denmark. This study includes a literature review of parent support of early learning and school facilitation of parent involvement in early learning. A qualitative investigation of parental support of early learning, within the context of global mobility and multi-culturalism, was undertaken in Rygaards School, in particular in its Reception Class. It was established that very little support exists on a global, social and local level, for the globally mobile families whose children attend this particular international school. Furthermore, the school itself does not fully meet the needs of its globally mobile families. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations for introducing comprehensive parent involvement were proposed, amongst others the introduction of an Induction Programme for newcomers to Rygaards, strategies for compensating for the absence of a middle management amongst its teaching staff and the extension of parent participation in curriculum provision. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

A contextual history of South African ceramics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries / Kontekstuele geskiedenis van Suid-Afrikaanse keramiekkuns van die twintigste en een-en-twintigste eeu / Isizinda somlando weseramiki kwikhulu leminyaka lamashumi amabili kanye namashumi amabili nanye eNingizimu AfrikaWatt, Ronald 08 1900 (has links)
Text in English with summaries and keywords in English, Afrikaans and Zulu / Presented in two volumes. Volume 2 contains colour photographs / Bibliography: (volume 1: leaves 181-219) / The history of South African ceramics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
tends to be presented in a compartmentalised manner in that it focuses on the
leading exponents within genres and is limited to an investigation of the contexts
that have an immediate bearing on their oeuvres. The result is a fragmented (and
sometimes biased) view of the role players, circumstances, influences and
incentives that have come to define South African ceramics.
The thesis introduces key contributors who have hitherto been considered in
relation to crafts and fine art but whose work with ceramic materials places them
firmly within the ambit of South African ceramics. It also positions and evaluates
the roles of the formal and informal twentieth-century educational and training
agencies that, within the constraints of imposed political dogma, produced
ceramists who successfully challenged staid Western aesthetics. Particular
attention is given to how the black “traditional potters” exercised agency in
negotiating a contemporary (as opposed to an ethnographic) presence in which
they referenced the forms, meanings and values of “traditional pottery” to meet
the expectations of the collector’s market.
The thesis posits that the ceramists’ quest to claim an identity (or an
“indigeneity”) in the turbulent political era of the later twentieth century has
parallels with the intent and outcomes of African Modernism. African
Modernism, which arose in postcolonial countries, sought to challenge Western
binaries of art, craft, identity and presence and typically made use of hybridity to
that end. The same presence of hybridity is evident in twentieth-century South
African ceramics, which must be read as an engagement with a multi-cultural
society within which the ceramists sought to position themselves. The thesis
illustrates the progression of hybrid features from an initially crude and superficial
referencing of indigenous and African material culture to subjective translations
of that culture that are presented in innovative approaches. This theme is further
explored in relation to South African ceramics of the twenty-first century, and
evidence suggests that some of the ceramists’ oeuvres can now be considered
transcultural and even transnational.
The thesis, which is by its nature an enquiry that presents new or reassessed
evidence is neither a fully inclusive nor an absolutist revision of the history of
ceramics. / Die geskiedenis van Suid-Afrikaanse keramiekkuns van die twintigste en een-entwintigste eeu is geneig om op ʼn onderverdeelde wyse voorgehou te word, omdat
dit op die hoofeksponente in genres fokus en beperk is tot ʼn ondersoek na die
kontekste wat ʼn direkte uitwerking op hul oeuvres het. Die resultaat is ʼn
gefragmenteerde (en soms bevooroordeelde) beskouing van die rolspelers,
omstandighede, invloede en aansporings wat Suid-Afrikaanse keramiekkuns
definieer.
Die tesis stel sleutelbydraers bekend wat tot dusver met handwerk en beeldende
kuns verbind is, maar wie se werk met keramiekmateriale hulle sonder twyfel
binne die sfeer van Suid-Afrikaanse keramiekkuns plaas. Daarbenewens
posisioneer en evalueer die tesis die rolle van die formele en informele twintigsteeeuse opvoeding- en opleidingsagentskappe wat, binne die beperkings van
voorgeskrewe politieke dogma, keramiste opgelewer het wat oninspirerende
Westerse estetika suksesvol betwis het. Aandag word veral geskenk aan hoe die
swart “tradisionele pottebakkers” bemiddeling uitgeoefen het in die
verwesenliking van ʼn kontemporêre (teenoor ʼn etnografiese) teenwoordigheid
waarin hulle verwys het na die vorme, betekenisse en waardes van “tradisionele
pottebakkery” om aan die verwagtinge van die versamelaarsmark te voldoen.
Die tesis voer aan dat daar parallelle bestaan tussen die keramis se soeke om op ʼn
(inheemse) identiteit te kan aanspraak maak in die onstuimige politieke era van
die latere twintigste eeu, en die oogmerke en uitkomste van Afrika-modernisme.
Afrika-modernisme het in na-koloniale lande ontstaan en het beoog om Westerse
binêre pare van kuns, handwerk, identiteit en teenwoordigheid te betwis; om hierdie doel te bereik is hibridisme gewoonlik gebruik. Dieselfde teenwoordigheid
van hibridisme kan gesien word in Suid-Afrikaanse keramiekkuns van die
twintigste eeu, wat beskou moet word as ʼn gemoeidheid met ʼn multikulturele
samelewing waarin die keramiste hulself probeer posisioneer. Die tesis illustreer
die vooruitgang van hibriede eienskappe, van ʼn aanvanklik onafgewerkte en
oppervlakkige verwysing na inheemse en Afrika- materiële kultuur, na
subjektiewe interpretasies van daardie kultuur wat in innoverende benaderings
voorgehou word. Hierdie tema word verder ondersoek in verband met SuidAfrikaanse keramiekkuns van die een-en-twintigste eeu, en bewyse dui daarop dat
sommige van die keramiste se oeuvres nou as transkultureel en selfs as
transnasionaal beskou kan word.
Die tesis, wat in wese ʼn ondersoek is wat nuwe of hersiende bewyse voorhou, is
nóg ʼn ten volle inklusiewe nóg ʼn absolutistiese hersiening van die geskiedenis
van keramiekkuns. / Umlando weseramiki yaseNingizimu Afrika kwikhulu leminyaka lamashumi
