Step into another’s shoes
Teacher empathy, which is critical in meeting students’ diverse needs and backgrounds, has been commonly conceptualised with respect to cognitive and emotional capacity. Recognising the significance of an action dimension in empathy, this study aims to investigate how teachers who teach in culturally-diverse classrooms translate their understanding of, and emotional connection with, their students into altruistic actions. Participants included tw…
Parental Perspectives on Immunizations
The Wrong Tools for the Job
This case study investigates how teachers in a school with a large population of low-income students of color in the U.S. perceived students' cultural capital and associated teachers' roles. Twenty-seven teachers were interviewed and discussed four domains of cultural capital mismatch between students and teachers: behavioral, experiential, academic, and family norm. Teachers often characterized these misalignments as students' deficits and under…
Defining a Trauma-Informed Approach to Social Work Field Education
Despite the recognized importance of social work field education, concerns about its dependence on already strained service delivery systems for student learning persist. The growing complexity of student needs, and the deleterious effects of COVID-19 on service systems adds to the problematic landscape. A trauma-informed approach, because it applies to individuals and environments, presents a useful framework for exploring these concerns. A trau…
The Role of Trust
The purpose of this research is to examine teachers’ capacities and the role trust plays in the professional lives of teachers during the transition to a new team of three administrators in an elementary school located in a low-income urban community in the U.S. Twenty-seven teachers’ surveys and interviews showed that the transition caused some level of instability and uncertainty; however, teachers had a positive sense of efficacy, social capit…
Early Microlithic Technologies and Behavioural Variability in Southern Africa and South Asia
Microlith production is a distinctive and significant stone tool technology. However, inter-regional comparative analyses of microlithic industries are rare, and tend to homogenise these industries by focussing analytical attention on retouched tool typologies alone. This volume provides the first demonstration and exploration of variability in two of the earliest microlithic industries in the world: the Howiesons Poort of southern Africa and the…
Educating for an Inclusive World
This article examines an innovative model of online international education regarding disability through a human rights perspective piloted through a collaboration between Universidad LaSalle, Mexico, and University at Buffalo, United States. The course is organized around a pressing global human rights and development issue. Its objective is to promote effective practice with persons with disabilities through cross-national, cross-disciplinary, …
Problem Gambling
Problem gambling, which directly affects 6 to 9 million Americans, too often results in devastating outcomes. Despite its prevalence it does not appear to get the same amount of attention as other addictions. In fact, despite evidence suggesting that treatment can reduce problem gambling, little research has been conducted on community capacity to address problem gambling. Therefore, this study assessed how well prepared human service organizatio…
Rethinking the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa
Current fossil, genetic, and archeological data indicate that Homo sapiens originated in Africa in the late Middle Pleistocene. By the end of the Late Pleistocene, our species was distributed across every continent except Antarctica, setting the foundations for the subsequent demographic and cultural changes of the Holocene. The intervening processes remain intensely debated and a key theme in hominin evolutionary studies. We review archeological…
Stone tool assemblages and models for the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa
First technological comparison of Southern African Howiesons Poort and South Asian Microlithic industries
Grain size distribution analysis of sediments containing Younger Toba tephra from Ghoghara, Middle Son valley, India
