BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Interações: um estudo sobre o tema a partir de vozes de professoras de uma instituição de educação infantil da Grande Florianópolis.
Get PDFTrabalho de Conclusão do Curso de Especialização em Educação Infantil - Segunda Edição – Polo Florianópolis, para a obtenção do Grau de Especialista em Educação Infantil.Esta pesquisa tem como impulso experiências observadas e/ou realizadas durante a trajetória profissional na Educação Infantil, com especial interesse em ampliar as concepções e compreensões a respeito das interações que acontecem nos espaços coletivos destinados ao atendimento educativo de crianças de zero a seis anos de idade – creches e pré-escolas. Tem, portanto, como objetivo realizar um estudo reflexivo sobre as interações que transcorrem no interior de creches e pré-escolas, buscando um diálogo entre a teoria e a prática pedagógica, no cruzamento de importantes documentações que regem o trabalho pedagógico na Educação Infantil com as declarações de professoras de educação infantil sobre suas práticas pedagógicas. Para sua realização optou-se pela análise documental e entrevistas com professoras de educação infantil da rede municipal de ensino da grande Florianópolis, no intento de pensar o objeto a partir de suas múltiplas determinações . A análise dos dados obtidos a partir das entrevistas realizadas com as professoras no que se refere ao diálogo entre teoria-prática pedagógica sobre as interações no cotidiano pedagógico, nos apontou que as profissionais anunciam que organizam e planejam seu trabalho orientando-se nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Infantil e no Projeto Político Pedagógico, um indicativo que pode explicar o fato de que por vezes é possível perceber as interações intimamente ligadas aos movimentos e momentos de brincadeiras

No full textCaroline Martins Machado desenvolve um material alternativo ao isopor, principalmente, para embalagens. Doutoranda do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Química, ela utiliza matérias-primas biodegradáveis, comumente descartadas pela indústria, como pele de amendoim. O objetivo é garantir uma alternativa sustentável ao isopor, mas também economicamente atrativa. As espumas à base de amido podem substituir o poliestireno expandido, mas possuem limitações por sua alta hidrofilicidade, sendo afetadas pela variação da umidade relativa do ar durante a estocagem. Na pesquisa, Caroline busca agregar aditivos a fim de reduzir essa característica, assim como melhorar as propriedades mecânicas das espumas.Entrevistas avulsa
