The crunk feminist collection / by Cooper, Brittney C.,1980-editor.(CARDINAL)415315; Morris, Susana M.,1980-editor.(CARDINAL)404684; Boylorn, Robin M.,1978-editor.(CARDINAL)401091;

"For the Crunk Feminist Collective, their academic day jobs were lacking in conversations they actually wanted-relevant, real conversations about how race and gender politics intersect with pop culture and current events. To address this void, they started a blog. Now with an annual readership of nearly one million, their posts foster dialogue about activist methods, intersectionality, and sisterhood. And the writers' personal identities-as black women; as sisters, daughters, and lovers; and as television watchers, sports fans, and music lovers-are never far from the discussion at hand. These essays explore "Sex and Power in the Black Church," discuss how "Clair Huxtable is Dead," list "Five Ways Talib Kweli Can Become a Better Ally to Women in Hip Hop," and dwell on "Dating with a Doctorate (She Got a Big Ego?)." Self-described as "critical homegirls," the authors tackle life stuck between loving hip hop and ratchet culture while hating patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism. Brittney Cooper is an assistant professor at Rutgers University. In addition to a weekly column in Salon.com, her words have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Cosmo.com, and many others. In 2013 and 2014, she was named to the Root.com's Root 100, an annual list of Top Black Influencers. Susana M. Morris received her Ph.D. from Emory University and is currently an associate professor of English at Auburn University. Robin M. Boylorn is assistant professor at the University of Alabama. She is the author of the award-winning monograph Sweetwater: Black Women and Narratives of Resilience (Peter Lang, 2013)"--"For the Crunk Feminist Collective, their academic jobs were lacking in conversations about how race and gender politics intersected with pop culture and current events. So they started a blog to create dialogue as critical women stuck between loving hip hop culture while hating patriarchy and sexism"--

You are not a kinesthetic learner : the troubled history of the learning style idea / by Fallace, Thomas D.(Thomas Daniel),author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: The learning style idea -- Sensory channels and personality types -- Diagnosing learning styles -- The rise and fall of the Black learning style idea -- Multiple intelligences as learning styles -- The kinesthetic learner as identity -- The peak years -- Debunking the myth of learning styles -- Conclusion."The notion that we all process information in one of three distinct modes-visual, auditory, or kinesthetic-is familiar to all of us; indeed, it has shaped teaching practices for decades. It may be surprising, then, to learn that the notion of learning styles is in fact widely debunked. So why does it retain such a powerful hold on us? In this book, historian Thomas Fallace traces the origins, evolution, and history of the controversial learning style idea. He shows that the research supporting the learning style idea was problematic from its inception in the 1910s as a strategy for teaching students in remedial reading classes. Decades later, as the Civil Rights movement demanded government solutions to racial inequality, scholars of education began to look for tools to address discrepancies in schooling outcomes between white children and children of color. Cultural differences perceived as deficits in Black and Brown children were taken to justify teaching with a different learning style requiring a distinct approach. In the 1980s, many scholars and educators determined that students of color were 'kinesthetic' learners, an idea used to label and justify a diminished curriculum for Black and Latinx students. In our era of high-stakes testing, administrators and teachers have eagerly embraced learning styles as a common-sense approach that seemed to promise positive outcomes. However, research increasingly shows that empirical studies do not find the approach effective. Rather than labeling students as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners (along with the hidden value judgments in each category), teachers ought to be labeling activities and then using the most appropriate method for the content or topic at hand. Ultimately, Fallace issues a full-throated call for the end of learning styles as the basis for an instructional tool kit. The danger of the learning style idea lies in the act of sorting and labeling students with permanent style identities"--

Prices for the precious metal have reached record highs in recent years, and interest has soared amongst people who want to go out into the hills and find some gold of their very own. You can still go out and successfully find gold even today if you know how and where to look. This book is going to teach you how to do it. We'll take a look at the early gold rushes across the United States and identify these historic mining areas that are most likely to produce gold for the modern-day gold prospector. Then from there we will learn how to do a deep-dive into research, locating the exact creeks, rivers, mountains and mines where gold is found. This book will discuss the important details of land ownership, mining claims, and the constantly changing regulations that we need to be aware of before heading out into the field. This necessary step will ensure that we have fun while also staying legal when we head out on our adventures. Once we know where to go, it's time to learn about the geology of gold deposits, and what it takes to mine them effectively. We'll look at the best and most efficient types of mining equipment ranging from the most basic gold pans to modern high-tech metal detectors.
