Nazneen was born in a remote village in Uttar Pradesh to a traditional Muslim family. She faced many hardships early in life, such as sexual harassment at age 6 and her father's death when she was 14, forcing her to support her family. Through leadership programs, Nazneen gained confidence and became an advocate for girls' rights and education in her community. She formed a group to raise awareness of health issues and help enroll girls back in school. Now Nazneen is a role model for Muslim girls in her village, speaking out courageously on issues like education, health, and empowering women economically.
The document summarizes a presentation on mainstreaming community university research partnerships (CURPs) in India. It discusses the UNESCO Chair in community based research and its north-south partnership. It also outlines the chair's global networks and partnership with GUNI to advocate for CURPs. In India, CURPs are a relatively new concept and the document outlines some encouraging efforts and the new policy context supporting community engagement. The chair's initiatives in India to strengthen community engagement in higher education institutions are also summarized.
This document discusses PRIA's initiatives to promote community-based research and social responsibility in higher educational institutions in India. It outlines six categories of engagement: 1) linking formal learning to local communities, 2) researching with communities, 3) sharing knowledge with communities, 4) designing new curriculum, 5) involving local practitioners as teachers, and 6) building capacities in participatory research. Examples provided include student surveys and internships in communities to understand issues like birth registration and women's empowerment. The document also discusses long-term research partnerships between institutions, communities, and organizations like PRIA on topics like occupational health and governance.
The document discusses participatory water security plans (WSPs) in India. It notes that demand for water is increasing while access remains inequitable, especially in rural areas. The national government launched a program to promote local WSPs. A WSP ensures minimum water access and involves collecting data, identifying sources, and analyzing current status with communities. WSPs are drafted and implemented in phases with community participation and institutional collaboration. The plans survey water sources and quality, access, and related sanitation issues to achieve water security objectives.

Final report of the project conducted by PRIA for Ministry of Women and Child Development.
About the Project: The state of Jharkhand was carved out of Southern Bihar on November 15, 2000 essentially as a ‘tribal state.’ The existence of a substantial tribal population in Jharkhand who had not been part of the post-independence mainstream development story meant that the growth also had to be harnessed to meet the goals of poverty alleviation and equity. The violent conflict over land, resources and the tribal alienation in Jharkhand compels us to think about development in terms of conflict sensitive development which by its very nature is intrinsically linked with political empowerment.
The ‘left wing extremism’ (LWE) movement, as the Government of India describes it, has swept across the state and while the impact has not been uniformly no district in Jharkhand can be completely free from its larger impact. Women have been caught between two armed state and non-state actors. Yet their plight, the conditions under which they can exercise agency in the midst of conflict and tension that have often been violent in nature has not received systematic attention. This study attempted to plug this gap by breaking the silence around women, particularly tribal women, either directly caught in or affected by this conflict.
1. Sociology is the study of societies and social behavior. It examines how individuals interact within groups and institutions like families, communities, and governments.
2. Sociology provides benefits like helping understand human social nature and relationships between individuals and society. It also aids social planning and allows people to better adjust to their environment.
3. When conducting sociological research, primary data collected directly from sources through interviews or observations has advantages over secondary data from other studies. Primary data gives researchers more control and helps limit bias while improving accuracy and depth of understanding.

Brenda Leibowitz presentation at UNISA on higher education and social justiceBrenda Leibowitz
Brenda Leibowitz made a presentation on the implications of a social justice approach for higher education at UNISA on 30 June 2014, at a morning seminar,“Academic Development in teaching and learning – a student development perspective”
This is the presentation that Elmarie Costandius gave at the SOTL@UJ: Towards a socially just pedagogy seminar series on the Graphic arts and social justice
The document discusses using dance and somatic practices to promote social justice and reduce prejudice. It outlines several theories that support this approach, including emphasizing proximity and rewriting narratives to change perspectives. The goal is for social interventions to become integrated into local communities through respectful, reciprocal partnerships rather than one-time initiatives or being led by outsider experts. Potential outcomes include increased empathy, trust, and place-making through intergroup interaction. The document raises questions about distinguishing between social intervention and interference, and how to remain actively engaged in social issues within one's own neighborhood.

Sociology is characterized as an independent science that studies society rather than individuals. It analyzes social processes and structures from a sociological perspective rather than a psychological one. Sociology deals with abstract concepts and generalizations rather than concrete or normative disciplines. It aims to understand social forms, groups, and larger structures.
This document provides an overview of key topics from a sociology lecture, including:
1. A review of positivism and interpretivism as approaches to social research, and their differing views on applying scientific methods.
2. An introduction to feminist perspectives and theories, highlighting their focus on examining gender relations and the role of women from a female point of view.
3. Descriptions of three core feminist theories - liberal feminism and its focus on discrimination; Marxist feminism and social class inequality; and radical feminism and patriarchy as the system oppressing women.
The document concludes with a summary of the sociological viewpoints discussed and an assignment for students to further read about theories and perspectives
The document discusses social and emotional education (SEE), which aims to help children and adults develop competencies in managing emotions, relationships, decision-making, and goals. It describes five key domains of social-emotional learning: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. SEE seeks to improve social-emotional competencies, attitudes, behaviors, academic achievement, and reduce mental health issues. The document also provides background on the importance of these skills given mental health challenges today's youth face.

Sociology is defined as the study of human values, relationships, beliefs and society. It deals with how people interact and behave within a society and culture. Sociology provides knowledge about human behavior in different societies and times. It studies the social causes and consequences of human actions. Sociology is considered an independent social science that focuses on groups, patterns of social relationships, and seeks to determine general principles about human interaction through both empirical observation and rational analysis.
Sociology is related to other social sciences like anthropology, political science, psychology, and economics.
While sociology and anthropology overlap in their study of human societies and culture, anthropology focuses more on small, traditional societies in the past while sociology examines modern, complex societies. Anthropology contributes concepts and findings to sociology's understanding of historical and cultural influences.
Sociology draws from other social sciences but maintains its distinct focus on social life, social interaction, and how society functions as a system. It analyzes various social phenomena and seeks to understand human behavior in a social context. Sociology both influences and is influenced by related disciplines as it works to explain the development and organization of human

The document outlines the requirements of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act 2013 in India, including mandating that organizations with 10 or more employees form an Internal Complaints Committee, constituting a Local Complaints Committee at the district level, and requiring every committee to have a third party representative. It also advertises a certification program for becoming a certified third party facilitator which involves a 12-hour in-person training, 3-hour online course on understanding the law, and an opportunity to become an expert on the topic through a scholarship, mentoring, research, and joining a pool of trainers.
The document discusses building the capacities of the next generation of community-based participatory researchers. It summarizes a workshop on this topic held in New Delhi, India in April 2015. The workshop brought together experts from academia and civil society who discussed strategies for training students in participatory research methods and building partnerships between universities and communities. Key challenges mentioned include a lack of training opportunities in participatory research and difficulties in securing resources to support community-engaged teaching and research. Participants shared ideas and experiences from different regions on promoting participatory research through experiential learning, creating "social laboratories" on campus, and fostering champions and networks of support.

The document describes the Student Teacher Aesthetic Role-sharing (STAR) approach used at Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. STAR is based on local wisdom principles called Patrap Triloka, which involve three main teacher behaviors - Niteni, Nirokake, and Nambahi. The goal of STAR is to build students' characters and create a learning community through constructive and self-directed learning, with teachers acting as facilitators. The implementation of STAR at UGM involves socializing the concept, providing grants for trials, and gradually disseminating it to encourage interaction, skills, leadership, and self-confidence in students.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

3. People we meet
Valeria Works as a pharmacist in neighborhood with social exclusion, high
delinquency rates, violence, segregation. Strong personality: slowly but surely became
highly respected. Precious informant and influent community member.
Don Franco Is the old parson of the local parish. Very pessimistic about situation. A
weak person, he is tapped and menaced by some neighbors. Does not understand why
most of his parishioners prefer going to a nearby church and why youngsters are not
interested in the facilities he proposes them for leisure and sport.
Stefania Social worker. Her office is located in the nearby neighborhood but knows a
lot less about the local human and social history and geography than Valeria does.
She’s studying to get her MA in Social work and social policies at the University of
Trieste. Final dissertation is on project management and social programming. Fellow
colleague asked me to help him supervise her work.

4. People we meet
Vincenzo Suffers of a light form of schizophrenia and is under treatment for alcohol
addiction. Lives with other five mental suffering people in a “high density therapeutic
community”, as defined by one of the law provisions that have been set up after the –
official – shutting down of asylums in Italy.
Carlo Is the social worker who is in charge of Vincenzo’s Case. He set up the structure
where Vincenzo and his fellows live. Carlo has been teaching for several years in our
BA course in Social work.
Alice Comes from Nigeria and has been forced to prostitution ever since she arrived in
Italy. She has a daughter from a Nigerian man who left her alone. Has probably paid
her entire debt to her exploiters, but cannot run free because she is clandestine.
Silvia Volunteers as street unit operator in the organization that is trying to help Alice
find her way out. Silvia got her degree in Professional Education with us, then did her
PhD in Social sciences and now is studying to get her BA in Social work.

Consumption behaviors and use of public services

5. What do they have in common?
1. They are people
Not just “poor”, “precarious”, “mad”, “excluded”, “social worker”,
“student”. They are not categories: they are human beings.
And that’s exactly where their potential resides.

Antonio Was an Italian violin maker who
brought the craft of violin-making to its
highest pitch of perfection. He was still a
pupil of Nicolò Amati in 1666 when he
began to place his own label on violins of
his making.
His method of violin making created a standard for subsequent times.
It was long thought that the secret of his acoustically perfect violins lay in their
varnish, the formula of which, though much debated, has never been
discovered. However, modern research has isolated certain factors that
influence the beauty of a violin’s tone.

Antonio Stradivari died in Cremona on December 18 1737,
taking most of his secrets with him.
8. The craftsman's lab (Conviviality 1)
The lab as a social space
•Create ties among people through rites and collective
practices
The lab as a community of practices
•Informal learning and (tacit and explicit) knowledge
exchange through mentoring, peer relationships, imitation,
impregnation.
•Cooperation rather than competition
•Collective achievements rather then individual excellence
The lab as a place for autonomy, awareness and
significance
•Appropriation of the work process as a meaningful whole
•Fixing and maintenance. Not just innovation or originality
•Authoritativeness based on wisdom and experience

9. The democratic CBR lab (Conviviality 2)
Expertise
•Sociable experts (enabling experts) vs Unsociable experts
(disabling experts)
Autonomy
•Holistic view and (shared) control and significance of the
research process vs originality/individuality
•Possible conflict between autonomy and authority
Altervision
•Reflexivity as a specific feature of scientific knowledge,
amplified through collective mindfulness building
Food for thought
•Collective reading and critical sharing of literature. Different
forms of reading in the “video age”: from “voces paginorum”
(orality) to the “liber” (vision) (1100-1200).
