Afterword
This afterword frames eighteenth‐century rape culture and scholarship through our current political moment and reflects on the concerns raised by the essays in this special issue. Twenty‐first‐century interest in the cultural histories of sexual violence has been galvanized by motivational presentism, an increasingly explicit sense that ‘what matters to us about the past has everything to do with [...] what we think is important—to us, here and n…
Introduction—A Roundtable on The Woman of Colour (1808)
In 2019–20, during the squalls of socioeconomic crisis that preceded the global pan-demic, academics across the United Kingdom took industrial action to protest cuts to pensions, increases to workloads, and the increasing casualization of higher education. Before lockdown emptied universities, the escalating strike halted teaching in many places. Classrooms were quiet, picket lines less so. As precarity and casualization disproportionately affect…

Irish Women in History
The experiences of women and the role of gender have often been occluded in Irish historiography. Thankfully, this disciplinary resistance has produced a particularly vigorous form of women's histo

Toward a Balanced Perspective on Beginning Reading
Influence of Basal Programs on Fourth-Grade Reading Instruction
teachers adhered to the recommendations in the teacher's guide for activities to be used before and after the reading of basal selections. Based on results of these analyses, the authors suggest four conclusions. First, basal programs differ in important respects; the two studied differed in organizational complexity, but were similar in content. Second, the design of the basal program influences the extent to which materials for students are ass…
The Formation and Instruction of Ability Groups
Based on an analysis of first-grade reading instruction, in which the nature of the curriculum, the allocation of time, the class distribution of student aptitude, and learning are the main considerations, this article provides evidence that teaching contains important technological elements. These elements can be formulated as principles expressing coherent connections between means and ends; they pervade school-system organization and are not r…
The Politics of Reading
Classroom Composition and the Design of Instruction
Studies of structural effects in education have usually attributed normative or comparative reference-group meaning to school composition. The results of such studies show that variation among students in schools accounts for only modest amounts of aspiration and achievement. This study of elementary school classrooms and instructional groups departs from the familiar formulations and shows how school systems successively transform the compositio…
Commentary
How Schools Work
As budgets tighten for school districts, a sound understanding of just how teaching and administration translate into student learning becomes increasingly important. Rebecca Barr, a researcher of classroom instruction and reading skill development, and Robert Dreeben, a sociologist of education who analyzes the structure of organizations, combine their expertise to explore the social organization of schools and classrooms, the division of labor,…

The Effect of Instruction on Pupil Reading Strategies
WORD IDENTIFICATION RESPONSES of 32 first graders were obtained in December and May of first grade and examined in order to infer word identification strategies. Half of the subjects were instructed by a phonics method and half with a sight word emphasis. The strategies for most children in the samples could be identified using the criteria established for classification. Strategies of individual children were determined to a significant degree b…
