How is latina motherhood represented in Jane the Virgin?
No full textJane the Virgin is a parody of the classic telenovela. This television series will be used to shed light on the representation of latina mothers in the household. It examines the representation through generational and role differences because the main character, Jane Villanueva, lives in a household of three-generations of latina mothers (Jane, her mother Xiomara and grandmother Alba). Jane the Virgin also explores the intersection of citizenship, culture, and language in relation to motherhood throughout the series. This research offers a different look and analysis of what a traditional telenovela is and how other series may spin off of that, creating parodies or comedies that still contain elements of the traditional latino soap operas. There is character analysis and research into why the series what developed the way it was by use of a narrator. Additionally, the character analysis details which stereotypical roles or duties each of the three women portray through their character. Although it is a parody, Jane the Virgin gives us a realistic representation of what it is like to be a latina mother in the United States today

Introduction: Young Children’s Protection Rights
Full text linkThis book is concerned with UNCRC Article 4 (OHCHR, 1989), which states that ‘Governments have a responsibility to take all available measures to make sure children’s rights are respected, protected and fulfilled’. Whilst some chapters in this book note successes in this respect, many reveal the failure of governments to shoulder fully their responsibilities. This chapter introduces the section of the book that addresses young children’s rights to protection specifically. The section chapters concern young children’s rights to protection from violence (Article 19), lack of a family environment (Article 20), protection and care when affected by war and armed conflicts and special protection and help as refugees (Articles 22 and 38). Chapters in this section also focus on young children’s protection from kidnapping, abduction, sale and trafficking, detention and punishment, child labour, sexual exploitation and abuse and the rehabilitation following victimisation by neglect, abuse or exploitation (Articles 11, 32, 34, 36, 37, and 39). However, several UNCRC Articles addressing young children’s protection rights are not addressed in this section’s chapters. That omission is an authentic reflection of the paucity of research and discourse concerning the lives of children younger than eight years who experience adoption (Article 21), drug abuse (Article 33), and juvenile justice (Article 40)

Hamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841–1935), author and journalist
Full text linkHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland. She was of Irish heritage on both sides. Her father belonged to a military family with roots in Strabane (county Tyrone) - his father, John Hamilton, and her father’s four older brothers were all officers in the Fifth Foot – and was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion
Epilogue: Imagining Child Rights Futures
Full text linkThirty years on from the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (United Nations (UN), 1989), this final chapter reflects critically on what has been achieved since the adoption of the UNCRC in 1989 to realise the rights of children younger than 8 years, the current state of their rights, and what remains to be done to secure young children’s rights. The chapter discusses briefly some limitations to young children’s rights and evidence and policy, before addressing challenges and imagining futures when young children’s rights are respected. The chapter concludes by advocating for a revised UNCRC that recognises young children as capable social actors from birth, calling for universal global ratification and urging all States to find ways to assume their full responsibilities to ensure that all children’s rights are enacted, including those of our youngest citizens

Young children's emotional experiences
Full text linkDrawing on new empirical research focused on children’s emotional experiences, this special issue is timely. Its articles concern challenges and opportunities inherent in young children’s emotional experiences in 21st century contexts of early childhood education and care. They are intended to provoke debate, discussion and critique as well as asking significant questions of policymakers, practitioners and carers who may influence young children’s emotional experiences. As a collection, the articles promote the idea that we must continue to further our understanding of children’s emotional experiences. Nevertheless, the findings they highlight indicate that a test-based approach may detract from young children’s emotional development and the positive emotional experiences in early childhood which have potential to provide an important foundation for a fulfilling life
