how irelandaeurtms lgbtq youth movement was built michael barron

This book offers a unique insider perspective from a queer author and activist who was centrally involved in Ireland’s journey from 1993, the year when homosexuality was decriminalised, to 2015, when it became the first country in which marriage equality was enacted by popular vote. It is the first comprehensive study of the impact of LGBTQ+ youth civil society as a leading force on Irish public policy change. Interdisciplinary in nature, it uses both activist and academic frames to reassess LGBTQ+ activism histories. It draws on personal, historical and policy analysis to provide a comprehensive account of how civil society can drive progressive change in difficult conditions. Essential reading for understanding the significant public policy changes that have occurred in Ireland, this book provides deep insight into the dynamics of organised social change over long periods of time and offers lessons for future work in this area.

The 2010s were a decade of foodbanks, riots, and the rebirth of political alternatives. Looking to escape a future of rising debt, falling living standards and climate meltdown, a set of movements were born across the globe, led by students, workers and the tent cities of Occupy.A new wave of optimistic, radical young people were building mass movements outside the political bubble, rejecting the neo-liberal consensus and the enrichment of the 1%, and laying the foundations of a new left. Eight years later, Bernie Sanders was favorite to clinch the Democratic Party nomination, and Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum had taken over the Labour Party in Britain, promising ‘a new kind of politics’.But as the new left poured into Labour, it was overwhelmed by older, institutional forces on both left and right.

Teaching LGBTQ+ History: Practical Strategies and Voices of Experience offers insights, concrete strategies, and lesson plans for teaching LGBTQ+ history in high schools. With essays from educators, historians, and activists, it speaks to the power and significance of LGBTQ+-inclusive curriculum and its greater necessity at a time when the LGBTQ+ community is both more visible and increasingly targeted.Across the US, challenges exist that prevent teaching LGBTQ+ history, including curriculum censorship laws prohibiting discussion of the LGBTQ+ community in schools. However, there are also grassroots movements in the US that are generating quality LGBTQ+ history curriculum and implementing them in secondary schools. This book shows how integrating LGBTQ+ content offers myriad benefits for all students, including making history more relevant and representative, and reversing years of silence and erasure in the sources, topics, and narratives that students encounter throughout their education.Combining insights from changemakers with practical strategies and lesson plans for teaching LGBTQ+ history, this book will equip educators with the rationale and resources they need to effectively integrate this history into the curriculum. It will also be highly valuable for pre-service teachers, particularly within Social Studies Education and Social Justice Education.

The Classic Edition of ''Immigrant Youth in Cultural Transition'', first published in 2006, includes a new introduction by the editors, describing the ongoing relevance of this volume in the context of future challenges for this vital field of study. It emphasizes the importance of continued actions and policies to improve the quality of interactions between multiple ethno-cultural groups, and highlights how these issues have developed the field of cross-cultural psychology.In the original text, an international team of psychologists with interests in acculturation, identity, and development describes the experience and adaptation of immigrant youth, using data from over 7,000 immigrant youth from diverse cultural backgrounds and national youth living in 13 countries of settlement. They explore the way in which immigrant adolescents carry out their lives at the intersection of two cultures (those of their heritage group and the national society), and how well these youth are adapting to their intercultural experience. It explores four distinct patterns followed by youth during their acculturation: *an integration pattern, in which youth orient themselves to, and identify with both cultures; *an ethnic pattern, in which youth are oriented mainly to their own group; *a national pattern, in which youth look primarily to the national ...

Rabaka explores funk as a distinct multiform of music, aesthetics, politics, social vision, and cultural rebellion that has been remixed and continues to influence contemporary Black popular music and Black popular culture, especially rap music and the Hip Hop Movement.The Funk Movement was a sub-movement within the larger Black Power Movement and its artistic arm, the Black Arts Movement. Moreover, the Funk Movement was also a sub-movement within the Black Women’s Liberation Movement between the late 1960s and late 1970s, where women’s funk, especially Chaka Khan and Betty Davis’s funk, was understood to be a form of “Black musical feminism” that was as integral to the movement as the Black political feminism of Angela Davis or the Combahee River Collective and the Black literary feminism of Toni Morrison or Alice Walker. This book also demonstrates that more than any other post-war Black popular music genre, the funk music of the 1960s and 1970s laid the foundation for the mercurial rise of rap music and the Hip Hop Movement in the 1980s and 1990s.This book is primarily aimed at scholars and students working in popular music studies, popular culture studies, American studies, African American studies, cultural studies, ethnic studies, critical race ...

''An unknown place.'' This was what Michael Frayn''s children called the shadowy landscape of the past from which their family had emerged. Shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards, My Father''s Fortune sets out to rediscover that lost land before all trace of it finally disappears beyond recall. As Frayn tries to see it through the eyes of his parents and the others who shaped his life, he comes to realise how little he ever knew or understood about them.This is above all the story of his father, the quick-witted boy from a poor and struggling family, who overcame disadvantages and shouldered many burdens to make a go of his life; who found happiness, had it snatched away from him, and in the end, after many difficulties, perhaps found it again.Father and son were in some ways incredibly alike, in others ridiculously different; and the journey back down the corridors of time is sometimes comic, sometimes painful, as Michael Frayn comes to see how much he has inherited from his father and makes one or two surprising discoveries along the way.

Since its completion in 1811, the Bell Rock Lighthouse has been revered as an industrial wonder of the world. The iconic tower was built on the Inchcape Rock, a submerged reef some 12 miles off the coast of Arbroath, and now stands as the oldest sea-washed tower in the world, surviving over 200 years of violent storms and crashing waves. The construction of the Bell Rock made the name of the Stevenson family, a dynasty of lighthouse engineers who dominated Scottish lighthouse engineering for 150 years. Robert Stevenson was the first man on the reef and the last man off, a personal commitment which saw the Bell Rock’s actual Chief Engineer, John Rennie, almost deleted from the building’s history. The Bell Rock is, however, more than just Stevenson and Rennie. Not only was it a remarkable feat of engineering, but one which played host to a remarkable way of life. The light-keepers undertook nightly vigils on the rock for 177 years, their often mundane and monotonous duties occasionally being punctuated by technological improvements and world events.The keepers are now all gone but the Bell Rock continues to show its familiar flash for the safety of all.

The blasted expanse of the Shadow Barrens has menaced the Kingdom of the Blue Rose for generations.

Now, an envoy from that lost kingdom has made contact, and a history long forgotten by all but a few scholars has been brought to light.

Audiokniha: Don Miller žije ve šťastném manželství se ženou, která je pro něj vším. Zároveň však celý život trpí záhadnými výpadky paměti a jen zřídkakdy se rozpomíná na některé podivné příhody z jejich společné minulosti. Teprve na sklonku života Don odhaluje, proč se vlastně bojí tmy, proč ho tak děsí dveře do sklepa ve venkovském domě, který jeho manželka zdědila, a co všechno se skrývá v okolních lesích… Laird Barron předkládá v tomto románu zatím nejkomplexnější obraz svého lovecraftovského hororového mýtu o bytostech z jiného světa, nazývaných „Děti Staré pijavice“, který nastínil již v několika kultovních povídkách.
