Act your age! : a cultural construction of adolescence. Second edition
New York, NY: Routledge, 2012.

Gates, Melinda
The moment of lift : how empowering women changes the world
New York, NY: Flatiron Books, 2019.
Subjects: Equality. Feminism. Women—Economic conditions. Women—Social conditions.
Summary: Faced with the realization that the fundamental rights of women from health care and
reproductive wellness to gender parity, educational opportunities, and economic advancement
were being ignored, curtailed, or purposely ended, the author knew that she could put her
considerable wealth, connections, and privilege to work for those in peril. Gates met with abuse
victims in the Philippines and sex-trade workers in India, lived with a Maasai family in
Tanzania, and learned about the horrors of child marriage in Ethiopia. This ecumenical message
is made personal by the unexpectedly candid revelations she shares about her own life and
marriage, motherhood and career. At a time when beneficial globalization is being threatened by
nationalism, and women's rights are in danger of being rolled back to nineteenth-century norms,
Gates offers urgent reminders of why it's necessary to help women everywhere achieve their full
potential.

In the process, he unearths fresh insights on the influence of Indigenous Peoples and argues that Canada's boundedness is ultimately drawing it towards its Indigenous roots. 306.708997 T974 Jacobs, Sue-Ellen (Ed.)

opportunities that lie ahead. Some businesses, like the powerful tech monopolies, will thrive as a
result of the disruption. Other industries, like higher education, will struggle to maintain a value
proposition that no longer makes sense when we can't stand shoulder to shoulder. And the
pandemic has accelerated deeper trends in government and society, exposing a widening gap
between our vision of America as a land of opportunity, and the troubling realities of our
declining wellbeing.

Strong Black girls : reclaiming schools in their own image
New York, NY: Teachers College Press, 2021.
Subjects: African American girls—Education—Social aspects. Racism in education. Sexism in
education. Strong black woman stereotype.
Summary: This book lays bare the harm Black women and girls are expected to overcome to
receive an education in America. It captures the routinely muffled voices and experiences of
these students through storytelling, essays, letters, and poetry. The authors make clear that the
strength of Black women and girls should not merely be defined as the ability to survive racism,
abuse, and violence. Readers will also see resistance and resilience emerge through the central
themes that shape these reflective, coming-of-age narratives. Each chapter is punctuated by
discussion questions that extend the conversation about the everyday realities of navigating K-12
schools, such as sexuality, intergenerational influence, self-love, anger, leadership, aesthetic
trauma (hair and body image), erasure, rejection, and unfiltered Black girlhood.

The reframing of American education : a framework for understanding American education post COVID-19 Atlanta, GA : Mynd Matters, 2020. Subjects: COVID-19 (Disease). Education—Aims and objectives. Educational change. Race relations—Education. Summary: Now is the time for America to live out the creed of its character by enabling all Americans to embrace the truth that all men are created equal and as such, are afforded the rights of true liberty and justice for all. Now is the time for America to close the achievement gap, the opportunity gap, the wealth gap, and the hope gap. This book forces us to think and rethink why Americans inherently do the things they do as it relates to liberty and justice for all. Using the four-pronged approach of Humanistic, Political, Structural, and Symbolic Frames of Education, it challenges the practices and policies in the USA. Thereby, it serves as a clarion call to right the systemic and systematic wrongs that have been engrained in American society, particularly, to the those have been lost, locked out, and ultimately, left behind. 371.010971 B472 Bennett, Paul W. The state of the system : a reality check on Canada's schools Montréal, QC : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2020. Subjects: Education—Canada—Evaluation. Public schools—Canada—Evaluation. Summary: Over the last fifty years, Canada's public schools have been absorbed into a modern education system that functions much like Max Weber's infamous iron cage. Crying out for democratic school-level reform, the system is now a centralized, bureaucratic fortress that, every year, becomes softer on standards for students, less accessible to parents, further out of touch with communities, and surprisingly unresponsive to classroom teachers. This book explains how public schools came to be so bureaucratic, confronts the critical issues facing kindergarten to Grade 12 public schools in all ten provinces, and addresses the need for systemic reform. Going beyond a diagnosis of the stresses, strains, and ills present in the system, the author proposes a bold plan to re-engineer schools on a more human scale as the first step in truly reforming public education. In place of school consolidation and managerialism, one-size-fits-all uniformity, limited school choice, and the "success-for-all" curriculum, the author advocates for a new set of priorities: decentralize school governance, deprogram education ministries and school districts, listen to parents and teachers, and revitalize local education democracy. 371.102 C311 Carr, Kwame A.
