Dyslexia and learning style: a note of caution
No full textIn a recent issue of BJSE, Sioned Exley published the outcomes of her school-based research into effective teaching strategies for students with dyslexia ‘based on their preferred learning styles’. She reported improvements in performance and attainment in spelling and recommended a more wide-scale adoption of approaches focused on learning styles. In this article, Tilly Mortimore, author of a recent book on dyslexia and learning style, and lecturer in inclusion at the University of Southampton, argues for caution. She suggests that practitioners need to look more closely into recent research into learning style and dyslexia before committing themselves to dramatic shifts in their ways of working. She presents here a review of the research context for learning styles and some reflections on Exley's selection of a research focus. While welcoming practitioner research, Tilly Mortimore suggests ways in which the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of small-scale enquiries could be strengthened in order to increase their impact upon policy and practice

When Firms Restructure: Understanding Work-Life Outcomes
No full textThis chapter appears in: Work and Life Integration: Organizational, Cultural, and Individual Perspectives (2005), E. Kossek, S. Lambert (Eds.), Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Mahwah, NJ.
Organizational structures are commonly neglected in the analysis of work-life balance opportunities (with important exceptions, such as Lambert, Waxman, & Haley-Lock, 2002). These factors, often in the background, interact with the more typically identified factors such as attributes of individual workers and the work-life policies and strategies adopted by a firm and its managers. Our on- going research examines the interrelationship among structural changes in industries and firms, managerial strategy, and jobs. We focus on internal labor markets and implications for the quality of jobs, particularly the changes in lower-skill and lower-wage jobs, and for opportunity or mobility. In this chapter, we extend that framework to consider implications for work-life integration opportunities as well

Women teaching writing: An analysis of female teacher authority.
No full textThis dissertation is a study of feminist research methodologies through which I analyze the results of an empirical study I conducted in 1994 in collaboration with Dr. Tilly Warnock and Julie Jung. This study, funded by the Council of Writing Program Administrators, began with a survey, sent to 900 female writing teachers at 100 US universities, asking questions about gender-specific problems and student-to-teacher harassment in the writing classroom. Nearly 60 percent of the respondents reported having experienced gender-specific conflicts with students. These problems range from disruptive behavior in class to sexual harassment and assault. While these conflicts are obviously common among female writing teachers, very little research has focused on these issues because traditional research methods tend to ignore women's unique subject positions. Drawing on the postmodern philosophies of Foucault and Derrida, and feminist theories of research methodologies (including Sandra Harding, Mary Fonow, Judith Cook, Gesa Kirsch, and Joy Ritchie), I argue that feminist research must begin with a personal location of the researcher within the research process, that feminist research is a collaborative effort among researchers and between researchers and participants, that feminist research is both about and for women, that feminist research focuses on the everyday experiences of women in their personal and public lives, and that feminist research resists essentializing the concerns of women, resists silencing multiple and alternative interpretations. I analyze these characteristics in various feminist research projects and attempt to exemplify them in my own study. Thus, my dissertation has a duel purpose. First, I want to argue that feminist research methodologies are valuable because they offer alternatives to traditional conventions of research, which often serve to perpetuate prejudice against women, people of color, and other oppressed groups. Second, I want to add to the voices of other feminist scholars who are creating multiplicities of truths, each situated within a specific context, each growing from situated subjectivities.This item was digitized from a paper original and/or a microfilm copy.

Full text linkCharles Tilly, à propos des événements de 1989 en Europe centrale et orientale, pose la question des rapports existant entre des mouvements simultanés mais dispersés géographiquement et cherche à comprendre la manière dont non seulement les mouvements sociaux mais aussi les contextes politiques sont entrés en résonance et ont finit par former un réseau d'événements qui n'est réductible ni à une série d'actions parallèles ayant subi des influences identiques, ni à une propagation du savoir par les médias. Afin de répondre à la question, il commence par un examen des problématiques disponibles en matière d'action collective montre leurs limites actuelles et propose quelques hypothèses élargissant la pertinence de la notion de cycle de contestation, et visant à rendre les concepts encore plus interactifs et encore plus historiques qu'auparavant.Charles Tilly, basing himself on the 1989 events in central and eastern Europe, examines the relations between simultaneous, but geographically remote, social movements. He seeks an understanding of how such movements and political change achieve a " resonance " that gradually produces a network of events. These cannot be simply reduced to a series of parallel actions emanating from similar causes, nor to the power of the media. The author examines the insufficiency of current theory on collective action, and proposes hypotheses widening the concept of contestation cycles, emphasising interaction and historical factors
Contrainte et capital : le rapport mitigé au marxisme de la sociologie historique de Charles Tilly
No full textQuel rapport la sociologie historique de Charles Tilly, telle que développée notamment dans ses travaux sur la formation des États nationaux européens et les grandes révolutions, entretient-elle à la sociologie historique néomarxiste et plus généralement au marxisme ? Cet article se propose d’évaluer ce rapport à partir d’une analyse de trois des plus importants travaux de Tilly en sociologie historique, soit La Vendée, publié en 1964, Les révolutions européennes 1492-1992, publié en 1993, puis Contrainte et capital dans la formation de l’Europe 990-1990, publié en 1992. Sa thèse principale est que ce rapport existe mais se distingue par son caractère mitigé. Il y est soutenu que Tilly doit plutôt être classé du côté des auteurs néowébériens, l’héritage du marxisme étant assumé mais résolument intégré au sein d’études toujours multicausales de ces grandes transformations sociopolitiques.What relation does Charles Tilly’s historical sociology, especially as developed in its works on European nation-state formation and the great revolutions, maintain to neo-Marxist historical sociology and more generally to Marxism? This article proposes to evaluate this relation from an analysis of three of Tilly’s most important works in historical sociology, including La Vendée, published in 1964, Les revolutions européennes 1492-1992, published in 1993, and Contrainte et capital dans la formation de l’Europe 990-1990, published in 1992. Its main thesis is that this relation does exist but is distinguished by its mixed character. It is also argued that Tilly should rather be classified as a neo-Weberian author, Marxism’s legacy being assumed but firmly integrated into always multicausal studies of those great sociopolitical transformations.Qué relación tiene la sociología histórica de Charles Tilly, especialmente en lo que se desarrolla en sus obras en europeo Estado-nación formación y la grandes revoluciones, mantener al sociología histórica neo-marxista y, en general con el marxismo?

También se argumenta que Tilly y no debe ser clasificado como un autor neo-weberiana, el legado del marxismo, sino que se asume firmemente integradas en estudios siempre multicausal de las grandes transformaciones sociopolíticas
