This document summarizes research on life transitions among adult women learners in Poland. It describes biographical interviews conducted with women of different ages and backgrounds who were taking educational courses. The interviews explored how their life paths and decisions were shaped by both personal factors and external influences. Key themes that emerged included women gaining education later in life after family responsibilities, finding social support and purpose through shared learning experiences, and education helping with new stages of life such as divorce or empty nesting.
Outsiders looking in or insiders looking out
This document discusses challenges for educators in negotiating shared learning spaces between outsiders and insiders in education. It notes that students today have different experiences than in the past, with many remaining at home rather than living on campus. It also discusses the role of digital technologies in students' lives and expectations for higher education. While students are highly engaged with technologies socially, their experience of technologies in K-12 is usually limited to content delivery rather than active learning. This can pose challenges as higher education requires more independent learning and online engagement. The document advocates finding ways to motivate and engage students through creative uses of technology that enhance teaching rather than replace it.

This document summarizes qualitative research on students who live at home while attending university, termed "stayeducation". The researchers interviewed three such students - Isi, Paola, and Kuura - using biographic narrative interviews. They found that these students experience university integration differently than those living on campus. Their lives at home, family relationships, and pre-university backgrounds significantly influence their sense of belonging at university. The researchers argue higher education models should better account for students' home and community contexts to improve support for stayeducation students.
RBG On the School To Prison Pipeline
The document discusses the "school-to-prison pipeline", where policies push students out of school and into the criminal justice system. Zero tolerance policies and increased police presence in schools have led to high suspension and expulsion rates for students of color. This phenomenon is part of the larger problem of mass incarceration in the US, which disproportionately impacts people of color. To combat this, educators must teach about mass incarceration and the school-to-prison pipeline, and build student-centered classrooms focused on empowerment rather than standardized testing. The movement to transform education and end the school-to-prison pipeline are intertwined and must work together.

College students experiences of power and marginality
This autoethnographic study examines the experiences of a Southeast Asian American female college student at the intersection of race and class. It uses her personal narrative and experiences to counter the model minority myth that Asian American students do not face challenges. The student came from a low-income background and was the first in her family to attend college. Through her story, the study aims to show how both her racial and socioeconomic identities impacted her college experience, despite Asians being perceived as an overrepresented and high achieving group. Critical race theory, specifically the concepts of intersectionality and voice, frame the analysis by recognizing the student's multiple, interconnected identities and knowledge gained from her experiences.

Abstract
Nowadays, gender identity has become a controversial topic and people have a lot of opinions about. This research paper focuses on exploring what gender identity is, how to help the specific group of people recognize their gender identities, and the issues of gender identity in colleges and universities, as well as how to solve the problems. To understand what your gender identity is, you first need to know the differences between sexual identity and gender identity. Next, you need to know the types of the gender identities. Then, it is the time to figure out what your gender identity is.
One can figure out their personal gender identity by theory guidelines, personal experience, and online information searching. In addition, online information searching is the way for those who cannot get support from family, and who identify themselves as a different gender, to get information.
Keywords: gender identity, sexual identity, transgender, discrimination, LGBT

Types of Gender Identities
Patton, Renn, Guido, and Quaye (2009) combined multiple theories (Bilodeau, 2009; Green, 2006; Bornstein, 1994; Diamond et al., 2011; Lev, 2004; Wilchins, 2002; Beemyn & Rankin, 2011; Saltzburg & Davis, 2010) to state, when gender identity aligns as traditionally expected with biological sex assigned at birth, it is a cisgender identity. Transgender identity may occur when gender identity aligns differently from what would be traditionally expected based on biological sex assigned at birth. An individual may identify with the opposite gender from assigned birth sex, sometimes defined as transsexual identity such as Female-to-Male (FtM), Male-to-Female (MtF), transmasculine, or transfemine, or in a way that blends masculine and feminine identities into a “genderqueer” or other non-binary identity.
Based on the data of The Lives of Transgender People, from 3,500 surveys and 400 interviews, many people said it is not easy to describe their gender identities. Not only are there so many different kinds of gender identities that they don’t know which one they belong to, but also some people are not fully belonging to one specific gender identity because one specific gender identity cannot simply describe themselves. For example, one person might identify as one-third male, one-third female, or one-third transgender, which is the way that they belong to. Based on this typical situation, some people simply describe themselves as I am whom I am. Even though it might be hard for them to fully describe themselves, they can use “eight milestones” to help them recognize whether they are transgender or not.

LGBTQ Education and Inclusion [Updated]
This document provides guidance and recommendations for making curriculum more LGBTQ-inclusive across various subject areas, including English, history, foreign language, STEM, health, and others. It discusses including LGBTQ authors, historical figures, events, and topics in lessons to be more representative and avoid invisibility or marginalization. Recommendations include using inclusive language, avoiding harmful assumptions, and confronting bias. Resources on implementing LGBTQ-inclusive practices are also provided.
The dynamics of gender, ethnicity and space: constructing meaning and identit...
The HEA funded research by Yorke and Longden (2008), explored first year undergraduate student experiences of HE, with data collection after 6 months at university. Outlining the importance of ‘bending the odds' to ensure student success and the importance of perceived ‘value for money' it set the scene for the subsequent HEFCE funded student retention and success report (Thomas, 2012). This body of work emphasised the importance of students experiencing a ‘sense of belonging' during their time at university. The importance of identity ‘as a student' was reported by Briggs et al. (2012) in relation to the transition to university, and studies on student ‘drop-out' (cf Bennet & Kane 2010) clearly pinpoint the first six weeks as the critical period for students at risk.
Drawing upon three biographic life histories of students attending London based Universities; this paper will present a cross-case analysis that draws out emergent themes of transition. The research is part of a mixed methods approach that sought to understand the factors affecting student sense of belonging in three different London HEIs. Seeking to inform approaches to recruitment and retention, our earlier research (Shoderu et al. 2012, Holley et al forthcoming 2014) identified overarching similarities in sense of belonging measures across all three institutions potentially masking important variations that can contribute to a better understanding students experiences of transition in the crucial first weeks of University study.
The work presented here focuses on the biographic life history interviews from three students and provides a rich picture of the influence of individual social context. The approach to interviewing and analysis draws on Biographical Narrative Interpretive Method (Wengraf, 2001) through which we sought to construct a narrative in which the present perspective of a situtated subjectivity are understood in relation to their past perspectives on past situations. It provides insights into differences and similarities across the individual student's sense of belonging constructing a more nuanced perspective.
Our cross- case analysis found the dynamics of gender, ethnicity and space to be significant, and we offers insights into the complexities of ‘being and becoming' that our students narrate in moving between their home/University transitions and adopting a student identity. How these key themes play out in the lives of our interviewees can inform our own understanding of the literature in this area, and a way of theorising our local practices, presenting an emergent model for successful transition.

A CRITIC AT LARGE
LIVE AND LEARN
Why we have college.
by Louis Menand
JUNE 6, 2011
y first job as a professor was at an Ivy
League university. The students were happy
to be taught, and we, their teachers, were happy to
be teaching them. Whatever portion of their time
and energy was being eaten up by social
commitments—which may have been huge, but
about which I was ignorant—they seemed earnestly
and unproblematically engaged with the academic
experience. If I was naïve about this, they were
gracious enough not to disabuse me. None of us
ever questioned the importance of what we were
doing.
At a certain appointed hour, the university
decided to make its way in the world without me,
and we parted company. I was assured that there
were no hard feelings. I was fortunate to get a
position in a public university system, at a college
with an overworked faculty, an army of part-time instructors, and sixteen thousand students.
Many of these students were the first in their families to attend college, and any distractions
they had were not social. Many of them worked, and some had complicated family
responsibilities.
I didn’t regard this as my business any more than I had the social lives of my Ivy League
students. I assigned my new students the same readings I had assigned the old ones. I
understood that the new students would not be as well prepared, but, out of faith or ego, I
thought that I could tell them what they needed to know, and open up the texts for them. Soon

1 of 11 8/5/11 8:40 AM
after I started teaching there, someone raised his hand and asked, about a text I had assigned,
“Why did we have to buy this book?”
I got the question in that form only once, but I heard it a number of times in the
unmonetized form of “Why did we have to read this book?” I could see that this was not only a
perfectly legitimate question; it was a very interesting question. The students were asking me to
justify the return on investment in a college education. I just had never been called upon to think
about this before. It wasn’t part of my training. We took the value of the business we were in for
granted.
I could have said, “You are reading these books because you’re in college, and these are the
kinds of books that people in college read.” If you hold a certain theory of education, that
answer is not as circular as it sounds. The theory goes like this: In any group of people, it’s easy
to determine who is the fastest or the strongest or even the best-looking. But picking out the
most intelligent person is difficult, because intelligence involves many attributes that can’t be
captured in a one-time assessment, like an I.Q. test. There is no intellectual equivalent of the
hundred-yard dash. An intelligent person is open-minded ...
Diversity In Science
The document discusses diversity in science and the important contributions of women and minority groups that have often gone unrecognized. It argues that having diversity in gender, race, and ethnicity allows people to be more open-minded, industrious, and innovative. However, in many cases individuals from underrepresented groups face barriers because of their gender, race or ethnicity. The document provides examples of prominent female scientists like Rosalind Franklin and Françoise Barré-Sinoussi who made impactful discoveries but received little recognition. It maintains that diversity fuels excellence in science regardless of attributes like gender or ethnicity.

The Importance Of International Students
The document discusses the benefits of international students studying in the United States. It notes that international students make up around 4.2% of total students in the US and their numbers have nearly doubled over the past two decades. The top reasons international students choose to study in the US are the reputation for quality higher education programs and the ability to study a wide range of subjects. However, international students also face challenges adjusting to a new culture and language barriers. Universities and communities benefit economically from international tuition dollars and greater diversity on campus.
Interpretive Essay Examples
This document compares and contrasts positivist and interpretivist perspectives in social research. It discusses the use of quantitative and qualitative research methods from both perspectives. A positivist perspective uses methods like surveys and statistics to identify and measure social structures. An interpretivist perspective focuses more on understanding human behavior and experiences through methods like interviews. The document provides an example of Emile Durkheim's positivist study of suicide rates. It also notes criticisms of the positivist approach for failing to consider important human and social factors.
The Impact Of Social Identity On Education
The document discusses how social identity impacts education. It notes that the U.S. is becoming more culturally and ethnically diverse, and by 2100 minorities will be the majority. Public schools are also becoming more diverse. Teachers must prepare students to be tolerant of diversity and interact well in diverse environments. No student should feel discriminated against due to their social identities.

The document discusses how social relationships are an important but overlooked factor in research on higher education for students with disabilities. It notes that having strong social support from mentors, friends, and family is critical for college success but that students with disabilities tend to have smaller social networks. The document calls for more research that examines the links between social relationships and academic outcomes for students with disabilities.

Cultural Journeys in Higher Education
Jan Bamford and Lucie Pollard
Published: Emerald 2019
Description:
The cultural diversity of university student populations can be seen to reflect the changing demographics of an increasingly international mobile workforce. The implications of the growing migrant population and differing communication patterns in the classroom is a highly under-researched area. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education provides a unique insight into the cultural experiences of university recounted through the students' narratives and voices.
This book explores the increasingly culturally diverse composition of the student body and its impact on student learning. The need to negotiate differing cultural scripts and adapting to the new cultural landscape when students arrive at university are just a few of the experiences addressed within this important text. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education navigates the issue of curriculum delivery through the eyes of those who receive the education and questions whether a new approach is needed to adapt to an increasingly culturally diverse student body.
The student experience is a central focus of this book, giving researchers, practitioners and leaders in education a unique perspective that will enable them to further understand the cultural framework that underpins Higher Education.

This my presentation for the 5th annual Atlanta Studies Symposium on Wednesday morning, April 26, 2017, where I gave a brief synopsis on the trials and tribulations of being displaced while attending college classes simultaneously. Negative stereotypes, family history, studying approaches, religious institutions' influences, and possible legal and political solutions were discussed.Panther L. E. A. P. Reflection Question Replies
1) The document reflects on the writer's experience in the LEAP program and how it changed their understanding of the Social Change Model.
2) The writer realized the Social Change Model is not static and can be applied throughout life by focusing on self-knowledge and interests to create change.
3) The writer felt they developed skills in consciousness of self, commitment, and working with others through controversy with civility, but wants to improve collaboration and citizenship to be an effective change agent.
Rising from Concrete Jungles--GSU Homelessness presentation rough draft
This document discusses solutions for Georgia State University to better serve homeless and foster care college students. It begins by outlining the author's personal experiences with homelessness and advocacy work on this issue. This includes instances of being reprimanded by police on campus and keynote speaking engagements. The author then discusses the hardships of being a homeless student, including prejudice faced and difficulties with logistics. Several recommendations are provided, such as merging housing, counseling, and enrollment services similar to UCLA's model. Creating more spaces for food/clothing and including resource materials in admissions packets are also suggested. The document concludes by proposing next steps like collaborating with real estate agents and creating new scholarships for vulnerable student groups.
Check-In 3--Billingual Babies
The document discusses issues related to language acquisition in babies and children. It argues that babies should be immersed in multiple languages from birth based on ecological systems theory and dynamic systems perspectives. However, it notes that both views presented in interviews ignore risk factors like low birth weight that can interfere with language development. The document advocates considering such risk factors and their long-term effects when evaluating approaches to supporting language mastery in children.
Racism and American Sports 2.0
Sports played an important role for slaves and after emancipation. Slave owners used sports to reduce rebellion and keep slaves occupied. Sports traditions developed from African customs and were adapted to the plantation system. After slavery, sports provided opportunities for recognition and improved social status. However, black athletes and teams still faced discrimination and challenges in being accepted within mainstream sports culture.

Transgender identity may occur when gender identity aligns differently from what would be traditionally expected based on biological sex assigned at birth. An individual may identify with the opposite gender from assigned birth sex, sometimes defined as transsexual identity such as Female-to-Male (FtM), Male-to-Female (MtF), transmasculine, or transfemine, or in a way that blends masculine and feminine identities into a “genderqueer” or other non-binary identity.
Based on the data of The Lives of Transgender People, from 3,500 surveys and 400 interviews, many people said it is not easy to describe their gender identities. Not only are there so many different kinds of gender identities that they don’t know which one they belong to, but also some people are not fully belonging to one specific gender identity because one specific gender identity cannot simply describe themselves. For example, one person might identify as one-third male, one-third female, or one-third transgender, which is the way that they belong to. Based on this typical situation, some people simply describe themselves as I am whom I am. Even though it might be hard for them to fully describe themselves, they can use “eight milestones” to help them recognize whether they are transgender or not.

The dynamics of gender, ethnicity and space: constructing meaning and identit...
The HEA funded research by Yorke and Longden (2008), explored first year undergraduate student experiences of HE, with data collection after 6 months at university. Outlining the importance of ‘bending the odds' to ensure student success and the importance of perceived ‘value for money' it set the scene for the subsequent HEFCE funded student retention and success report (Thomas, 2012). This body of work emphasised the importance of students experiencing a ‘sense of belonging' during their time at university. The importance of identity ‘as a student' was reported by Briggs et al. (2012) in relation to the transition to university, and studies on student ‘drop-out' (cf Bennet & Kane 2010) clearly pinpoint the first six weeks as the critical period for students at risk.
Drawing upon three biographic life histories of students attending London based Universities; this paper will present a cross-case analysis that draws out emergent themes of transition. The research is part of a mixed methods approach that sought to understand the factors affecting student sense of belonging in three different London HEIs. Seeking to inform approaches to recruitment and retention, our earlier research (Shoderu et al. 2012, Holley et al forthcoming 2014) identified overarching similarities in sense of belonging measures across all three institutions potentially masking important variations that can contribute to a better understanding students experiences of transition in the crucial first weeks of University study.
The work presented here focuses on the biographic life history interviews from three students and provides a rich picture of the influence of individual social context. The approach to interviewing and analysis draws on Biographical Narrative Interpretive Method (Wengraf, 2001) through which we sought to construct a narrative in which the present perspective of a situtated subjectivity are understood in relation to their past perspectives on past situations. It provides insights into differences and similarities across the individual student's sense of belonging constructing a more nuanced perspective.
Our cross- case analysis found the dynamics of gender, ethnicity and space to be significant, and we offers insights into the complexities of ‘being and becoming' that our students narrate in moving between their home/University transitions and adopting a student identity. How these key themes play out in the lives of our interviewees can inform our own understanding of the literature in this area, and a way of theorising our local practices, presenting an emergent model for successful transition.

A CRITIC AT LARGE
LIVE AND LEARN
Why we have college.
by Louis Menand
JUNE 6, 2011
y first job as a professor was at an Ivy
League university. The students were happy
to be taught, and we, their teachers, were happy to
be teaching them. Whatever portion of their time
and energy was being eaten up by social
commitments—which may have been huge, but
about which I was ignorant—they seemed earnestly
and unproblematically engaged with the academic
experience. If I was naïve about this, they were
gracious enough not to disabuse me. None of us
ever questioned the importance of what we were
doing.
At a certain appointed hour, the university
decided to make its way in the world without me,
and we parted company. I was assured that there
were no hard feelings. I was fortunate to get a
position in a public university system, at a college
with an overworked faculty, an army of part-time instructors, and sixteen thousand students.
Many of these students were the first in their families to attend college, and any distractions
they had were not social. Many of them worked, and some had complicated family
responsibilities.
I didn’t regard this as my business any more than I had the social lives of my Ivy League
students. I assigned my new students the same readings I had assigned the old ones. I
understood that the new students would not be as well prepared, but, out of faith or ego, I
thought that I could tell them what they needed to know, and open up the texts for them. Soon
Debating the Value of College in America : The New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2011/06/06/1106...
1 of 11 8/5/11 8:40 AM
after I started teaching there, someone raised his hand and asked, about a text I had assigned,
“Why did we have to buy this book?”
I got the question in that form only once, but I heard it a number of times in the
unmonetized form of “Why did we have to read this book?” I could see that this was not only a
perfectly legitimate question; it was a very interesting question. The students were asking me to
justify the return on investment in a college education. I just had never been called upon to think
about this before. It wasn’t part of my training. We took the value of the business we were in for
granted.
I could have said, “You are reading these books because you’re in college, and these are the
kinds of books that people in college read.” If you hold a certain theory of education, that
answer is not as circular as it sounds. The theory goes like this: In any group of people, it’s easy
to determine who is the fastest or the strongest or even the best-looking. But picking out the
most intelligent person is difficult, because intelligence involves many attributes that can’t be
captured in a one-time assessment, like an I.Q. test. There is no intellectual equivalent of the
hundred-yard dash. An intelligent person is open-minded ...
Diversity In Science
The document discusses diversity in science and the important contributions of women and minority groups that have often gone unrecognized. It argues that having diversity in gender, race, and ethnicity allows people to be more open-minded, industrious, and innovative. However, in many cases individuals from underrepresented groups face barriers because of their gender, race or ethnicity. The document provides examples of prominent female scientists like Rosalind Franklin and Françoise Barré-Sinoussi who made impactful discoveries but received little recognition. It maintains that diversity fuels excellence in science regardless of attributes like gender or ethnicity.

The Importance Of International Students
The document discusses the benefits of international students studying in the United States. It notes that international students make up around 4.2% of total students in the US and their numbers have nearly doubled over the past two decades. The top reasons international students choose to study in the US are the reputation for quality higher education programs and the ability to study a wide range of subjects. However, international students also face challenges adjusting to a new culture and language barriers. Universities and communities benefit economically from international tuition dollars and greater diversity on campus.
Interpretive Essay Examples
This document compares and contrasts positivist and interpretivist perspectives in social research. It discusses the use of quantitative and qualitative research methods from both perspectives. A positivist perspective uses methods like surveys and statistics to identify and measure social structures. An interpretivist perspective focuses more on understanding human behavior and experiences through methods like interviews. The document provides an example of Emile Durkheim's positivist study of suicide rates. It also notes criticisms of the positivist approach for failing to consider important human and social factors.
The Impact Of Social Identity On Education
The document discusses how social identity impacts education. It notes that the U.S. is becoming more culturally and ethnically diverse, and by 2100 minorities will be the majority. Public schools are also becoming more diverse. Teachers must prepare students to be tolerant of diversity and interact well in diverse environments. No student should feel discriminated against due to their social identities.

The document discusses how social relationships are an important but overlooked factor in research on higher education for students with disabilities. It notes that having strong social support from mentors, friends, and family is critical for college success but that students with disabilities tend to have smaller social networks. The document calls for more research that examines the links between social relationships and academic outcomes for students with disabilities.

Cultural Journeys in Higher Education
Jan Bamford and Lucie Pollard
Published: Emerald 2019
Description:
The cultural diversity of university student populations can be seen to reflect the changing demographics of an increasingly international mobile workforce. The implications of the growing migrant population and differing communication patterns in the classroom is a highly under-researched area. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education provides a unique insight into the cultural experiences of university recounted through the students' narratives and voices.
This book explores the increasingly culturally diverse composition of the student body and its impact on student learning. The need to negotiate differing cultural scripts and adapting to the new cultural landscape when students arrive at university are just a few of the experiences addressed within this important text. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education navigates the issue of curriculum delivery through the eyes of those who receive the education and questions whether a new approach is needed to adapt to an increasingly culturally diverse student body.
The student experience is a central focus of this book, giving researchers, practitioners and leaders in education a unique perspective that will enable them to further understand the cultural framework that underpins Higher Education.

Reflection Question Replies
1) The document reflects on the writer's experience in the LEAP program and how it changed their understanding of the Social Change Model.
2) The writer realized the Social Change Model is not static and can be applied throughout life by focusing on self-knowledge and interests to create change.
3) The writer felt they developed skills in consciousness of self, commitment, and working with others through controversy with civility, but wants to improve collaboration and citizenship to be an effective change agent.
Rising from Concrete Jungles--GSU Homelessness presentation rough draft
This document discusses solutions for Georgia State University to better serve homeless and foster care college students. It begins by outlining the author's personal experiences with homelessness and advocacy work on this issue. This includes instances of being reprimanded by police on campus and keynote speaking engagements. The author then discusses the hardships of being a homeless student, including prejudice faced and difficulties with logistics. Several recommendations are provided, such as merging housing, counseling, and enrollment services similar to UCLA's model. Creating more spaces for food/clothing and including resource materials in admissions packets are also suggested. The document concludes by proposing next steps like collaborating with real estate agents and creating new scholarships for vulnerable student groups.
Check-In 3--Billingual Babies
The document discusses issues related to language acquisition in babies and children. It argues that babies should be immersed in multiple languages from birth based on ecological systems theory and dynamic systems perspectives. However, it notes that both views presented in interviews ignore risk factors like low birth weight that can interfere with language development. The document advocates considering such risk factors and their long-term effects when evaluating approaches to supporting language mastery in children.
Racism and American Sports 2.0
Sports played an important role for slaves and after emancipation. Slave owners used sports to reduce rebellion and keep slaves occupied. Sports traditions developed from African customs and were adapted to the plantation system. After slavery, sports provided opportunities for recognition and improved social status. However, black athletes and teams still faced discrimination and challenges in being accepted within mainstream sports culture.
