A diverse collective of arts and humanities researchers, educators and creative practitioners share their thoughts and experiences of how to approach gender nonconformity creatively and ethically, including from a decolonial perspective.While substantial work has addressed the ethics and practicalities of working with trans and gender-nonconforming participants in social science research, approaches to gender nonconformity in arts and humanities research, teaching and practice still remain underexplored. Here, contributors share their thoughts and experience on topics including centring trans people and people of colour in fan adaptations of Les Misérables; moving beyond medicalised approaches to trans history; responding to the early modern history of gender nonconformity through poetic-performative closet dramas; and using trans history to decolonise history teaching. The editors' draw out the book's practical and theoretical implications, reflecting on what it means for marginalised people to 'forge a home' within the arts and humanities in our contemporary political moment.This book is an invaluable resource for academics, educators, performers and activists invested in finding new, trans-affirming, decolonial and anti-racist ways to engage with gender nonconformity in their work.

This expert guide focuses on 'why' and particularly 'how' schools might achieve mastery in mathematics, with concrete examples from the classroom. Teaching for mastery is an effective approach to education that can help all students develop a deep and lasting understanding of key concepts. It has been proven to improve pupil achievement, especially for children who have traditionally struggled with mathematics. Teaching Maths for Mastery covers the five big ideas of teaching for mastery: coherence, representation and structure, mathematical thinking, fluency, and variation. It explains how these ideas can be implemented in the classroom and provides advice on assessing student learning. Written by experienced mastery specialist, John Bee, and offering case studies from a range of different classroom scenarios, this book is written to support teachers in creating a classroom where all children can succeed. This book provides the knowledge and skills you need to teach for mastery in mathematics and ensure your pupils reach their full potential.

This book examines Cocteau Twins' Blue Bell Knoll to dive deep on the value of artistic ambiguity, the limits of language, and what we can learn about creative practice from this once-in-a-lifetime band. Throughout the 80s and 90s Cocteau Twins defined dream pop and opened the door for shoegaze. Robin Guthrie's reverb-soaked guitar sound and production set the template for a generation, while Elizabeth Fraser's mesmerising voice and mysterious lyricism beguiled listeners. Blue Bell Knoll was their fifth album and their first to be released on a major label in the US. The lead single 'Carolyn's Fingers' remains their biggest hit. And yet this album represents the band at their most unknowable; the songs inscrutable and the lyrics entirely indecipherable, while somehow being deeply emotive. So often, music is understood through lyrical analysis or framed by what we know about the musicians' lives. Famously reserved in interviews, Cocteau Twins offered up neither. Their belief was that music can express something beyond the capabilities of language. Which poses the question: what does it mean to really know a song - is it simply to feel something?

Explores and illuminates the impact of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin on our understanding of literary modernism.This volume explores the subject of modernism as seen through the lens of Bakhtinian criticism and in doing so offers a rounded and up-to-date example of the application of Bakhtinian theory to a field of research. The contributors consider the global spread of modernism and the variety of its manifestations as well as modernism's relationship to popular culture and its collective elaboration, which are dominant concerns in Bakhtin's thinking. As with other volumes in the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series, the volume is divided into three parts. Part 1 provides readings of Bakhtin's work in the context of literary modernism. Part 2 features case studies of modernist art and artists and their relation to Bakhtinian theory. The final part provides a glossary of key terms in Bakhtin's work.

R.G. Collingwood (1889-1943) was an English philosopher, historian and practicing archaeologist. His work, particularly in the philosophy of action and history, has been profoundly influential in the 20th and 21st century. Although the importance of his work is indisputable, this is the first book to consider how and why it actually matters. Giussepina D'oro considers the importance of Collingwood as a thinker who thinks kaleidoscopically and, unlike lots of contemporary philosophers, refuses to focus on narrow, technical interests but instead, observes the whole world of thought. Why Collingwood Matters revives Collingwood's conception of the role and character of philosophical analysis and shows how it informs his understanding of the mind, what it means to act, and what it means to understand the past historically. It also argues for the relevance of his metaphilosophical approach to the challenge posed by the Anthropocene and the global environmental crisis. Both an elucidation of Collingwood's thought and a lively exploration of it's contemporary relevance, Why Collingwood Matters provides a much-needed examination of a 20th-century polymath.

This book shows that the connected histories of decolonization and globalization concern the practices of individuals and movements as much as they do the ideologies of states, institutions and organizations. Viewing decolonization through non-state activist practices, and setting anti-colonial solidarity in the context of the methods of contemporary global peace movements, it argues that seemingly marginal histories can illuminate aspects of the end of empire that are not readily apparent in studies centred on state diplomacy and nationalist movements.Focusing on a group of British and American activists, including the pacifist campaigner A.J. Muste, the anti-apartheid priest Michael Scott and the civil rights organiser Bayard Rustin, Skinner explores connected global histories of anti-nuclear peace campaigns, anti-colonialism and decolonization to illuminate new perspectives on the end of empire and the Cold War.Studying a failed attempt to infiltrate the French atom bomb test site in southern Algeria, and a mass march across the border between Tanganyika and Northern Rhodesia that never took place, these stories provide valuable insights into the interactions between local and global scales of historical experience.In presenting these histories, this book demonstrates how global and transnational histories can challenge and disrupt, rather than reinforce hierarchies of power and privileges. In doing so, it also contributes to ongoing debates surrounding the nature of decolonization as a historical phenomenon by focusing on the practices of activism that shaped - and were shaped by - the political and intellectual structures of decolonization.
