Belonging and not belonging : understanding India in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and V.S. Naipaul.
No full textPhDThis thesis is essentially about the "how" and "why" of the Indian
experience as documented in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
and V S Naipaul. The study points to the difficulty of arriving at any
conclusive definition of the country and its people. I show that
differences in attitudes, responses or behaviour are both overt and
subtle, and depend upon whether the writer or the character identifies
with the situation or community with which he or she interacts. It is
the individual's sense of belonging or not belonging to his or her own
group - be this along racial, cultural or gender lines - that accounts
for the differing perspectives evident in these novels. The points-of-
view of the outsider and the insider can therefore be seen as
mutual comments upon the other.
Since the struggle between belonging and not belonging becomes acute
when the old meets the new, focus is centred on communities
experiencing change. These include the British in India, West-Indian
Indians and westernised Indians. Despite their differences, all three
communities share similar reasons for either an acceptance or
rejection of the 'Other'. The thesis argues that the need for
emotional stability compels allegiance to the traditional group, while
the desire for individuality encourages surrender to the new. The
former nurtures a sense of belonging while, it is argued, that the
latter is perceived as the hallmark of those who do not belong.
Tensions arise when both these needs demand to be met. What I show to
be ironic in this struggle between belonging and not belonging is that
those things which individuals overtly reject are often unexpressed
parts of their personal pysche. The barrier between "them" and "us" is
therefore very fragile
Cellular model systems to study the tumor biological role of kallikrein-related peptidases in ovarian and prostate cancer
No full textSince the identification of the gene family of kallikrein related peptidases (KLKs), their function has been robustly studied at the biochemical level. In vitro biochemical studies have shown that KLK proteases are involved in a number of extracellular processes that initiate intracellular signaling pathways by hydrolysis, as reviewed in Chapters 8, 9, and 15, Volume 1. These events have been associated with more invasive phenotypes of ovarian, prostate, and other cancers. Concomitantly, aberrant expression of KLKs has been associated with poor prognosis of patients with ovarian and prostate cancer (Borgoño and Diamandis, 2004; Clements et al., 2004; Yousef and Diamandis, 2009), with prostate-specific antigen (PSA, KLK3) being a long standing, clinically employed biomarker for prostate cancer (Lilja et al., 2008). Data generated from patient samples in clinical studies, alongwith biochemical activity, suggests that KLKs function in the development and progression of these diseases. To bridge the gap between their function at the molecular level and the clinical need for efficacious treatment and prognostic biomarkers, functional assessment at the in vitro cellular level, using various culture models, is increasing, particularly in a three-dimensional (3D) context (Abbott, 2003; Bissell and Radisky, 2001; Pampaloni et al., 2007; Yamada and Cukierman, 2007).\ud

Qualified by virtue of experience? Professional youth work in Britain 1960-1989
No full textThis chapter explores the role of experiential expertise in the professionalisation of youth work following the influential Albemarle Report in 1960. It argues that this form of knowledge was valued and fully integrated into the recruitment, training and practice of youth workers in South London and Liverpool after 1960. The model of youth work at this time joined together academic and theoretical underpinnings with reflective practice and the expertise of experience. The youth workers who came into practice at this time also brought their experience of post-war welfare cultures, broadly speaking, and within youth work itself, to their roles in the Youth Service.
The chapter explores how the local experiences that youth workers shared with young people, and the lived experience of having grown up in the same social contexts and localities, shaped youth work to include or indeed sometimes be centred on a variety of forms of activism. While youth work did professionalise between 1960 and 1989, this process was incomplete and youth work struggled to gain the same status as other educational and welfare professions

Dean of Academic Affairs / Skinner and McAlpin Professor of Practical Theology, Union Theological Seminary
Mary C. Boys is dean of academic affairs and Skinner and McAlpin Professor of Practical Theology at Union Theological Seminary, New York City, where she has taught for twenty years, and is an adjunct faculty member of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, also in New York City. She previously served for seventeen years on the faculty of Boston College. Having received her master\u27s and doctoral degrees from Columbia University in a joint program with Union Theological Seminary, Dr. Boys did advanced study at the Ecumenical Institute for Theological Research in Jerusalem, Israel, and received honorary doctorates from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Catholic Theological Union, Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and Gratz College. She is the author of six books, including Educating in Faith: Maps and Visions (1989), Has God Only One Blessing? Judaism as a Source of Christian Self-Understanding (2000), and Redeeming Our Sacred Story: The Death of Jesus and Relations between Jews and Christians (2013). She also has edited four books and published nearly 100 articles in scholarly and popular journals. A Seattle native, she has been a member since 1965 of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. Ruth Langer, Ph.D.
Professor of Jewish Studies / Associate Director, Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, Boston College
Ruth Langer is professor of Jewish studies in the theology department and associate director of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College. She received rabbinic ordination in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Jewish Liturgy in 1994 from Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati. The current chair of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations, she has for many years been co-editor of the council’s electronic scholarly journal Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations. Dr. Langer is the author of many scholarly articles and book chapters and her own book Cursing the Christians? A History of the Birkat HaMinim (2011) combines her two major scholarly interests: the development of Jewish liturgy and Jewish-Christian relations. This volume traces the transformations of a Jewish prayer that was, in its medieval forms, a curse of Christians, from its putative origins in the early rabbinic period, through its censorship by the church, into an inoffensive prayer that asks God to rid our world of evil. Dr. Langer is also the author of To Worship God Properly: Tensions between Liturgical Custom and Halakhah in Judaism (1998), the co-editor of Liturgy in the Life of the Synagogue (2005)
