Review of How Population Change Will Transform Our World by Sarah Harper
No full textIn this book, Sarah Harper explores the relevant topic of the shift in the age structure of the world’s population. She addresses this issue by considering the entire world population. In particular, she deeply analyses causes and consequences of the age-structural change highlighting convergences and differences between populations of various geographical areas and focusing on the connections with economic and social factors. Addressed also to a wider audience, this book sheds light about the important changes of the population age structure and about the future of the world population. The author highlights differences and interconnections existing between various populations of the world, without forgetting to stress the importance to consider changes at the individual level within the society. Sarah Harper, through this book, contributes to provide instruments and knowledge to understand the populations and societies of the world

Pasīpahkīhnen: Stories of Survivance
No full textUW-Stevens Point students created this display in History 390/590, “Museum Exhibits,” taught by Rob Harper and Sarah Scripps in 2022.The exhibit emerged from an ongoing project to document the histories of native people in central Wisconsin. Beginning in 2021, Professor Harper and interns Jarita Bavido and Dylan Potter have conducted archival research and consulted with Ho Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi experts.These panels share stories from within an hour’s drive of Stevens Point. As white settlement transformed the landscape, native people defied demands that they leave. They established places to live, ways of making a living, and connections with one another. To convey such experiences, the Ojibwe scholar Gerald Vizenor uses the term “survivance.” Familiar tellings of Native American history often dwell on tragedy, victimhood, or bare survival. Instead, Vizenor and others call for attention to Indigenous peoples’ “active presence in the world now.” The people described here remained actively present where they were not supposed to be. Their descendants remain actively present today.Wisconsin Humanities Council, the UWSP School of Humanities & Global Studies, and the UWSP Pathways Internship Progra
Living Longer, Living Well
No full textThe University of Cape Town Summer School programme presented an exciting opportunity for people, both young and old to learn more about an important and under-appreciated subject – the personal, societal and economic effects of living longer.
This multi-disciplinary course allows participants to learn from a range of experts on topics related to ageing and longevity. Centenarians are obviously doing something right, so what can we learn from them?
Kate Brown, Sarah Harper of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing and occupational therapists Rae Labuschagne and Sylvia Birkhead completed the line-up of a thought provoking, valuable and interesting course for both individuals and policy makers. Participants in this course were able to learn and interact with these experts on a range of topics including what contributes towards longevity and how people make, or could make, informed decisions that may enhance their quality of life. The course consisted of four sessions and an optional excursion to the Irma Stern Museum.
Lectures
1. Ageing and extreme ageing (Prof Sarah Harper, Oxford Institute of Population Ageing)
2. Health, wealth and attitude related to ageing in the context of integrated financial planning (Kate Brown)
3. Old People are adults too (Prof Sarah Harper, Oxford Institute of Population Ageing)
The course ran 4–8 February 2014

A critical analysis of the plays of Sarah Daniels.
No full textAs one of the forerunners of 'second wave' feminist playwriting, Sarah Daniels has for the
past fifteen years been one of Britain's most prolific writers for the stage. This thesis is the
first to offer a detailed critical analysis of all her published plays along with a developmental
account of her career. My approach throughout is text-based and non-prescriptive,
although I do at certain points indicate where Daniels reflects or voices differing feminist
perspectives. I also consider, beginning in Chapter Three, the critical reception and
'gendered' reviewing the playwright has received over the years.
The thesis is organised into five chapters with an Afterword. Chapter One, the
Introduction, offers an overview of Daniels' career as well as certain key characteristics of
her work. In Chapter Two I analyse the early plays, Ripen Our Darkness, The Devil's
Gateway and Neaptide, and consider in particular how they reflect, along with other
women's playwriting at the time, certain ideals of the Women's Liberation Movement.
Chapter Three is devoted entirely to Masterpieces, Daniels' most controversial and, on
many levels, successful play to date. Chapter Four is an analysis of the 'history plays',
Byrthrite and The Gut Girls. In addition to giving voice to women traditionally silenced in
and by history, these plays (especially Byrthrite) also echo particular strands of modern
feminist debate. Chapter Five examines Daniels' plays of the 1990s (Beside Herself, Head-
Rot Holiday and The Madness of Esme and Shaz) with their central theme of 'women and
madness'. This is also a fitting theme with which to conclude the thesis as it brings together
and expands on the most significant motif running throughout the playwright's work. In the
Afterword I consider the effect of Esme and Shaz's critical reception on Daniels, as well as
her current 'work in progress'. Finally, the two Appendices provide a chronological table of
Daniels' productions and a list of subsequent professional productions as well as awards
Harper Lee’s Guide to Surviving December in Education

Retracing Women\u27s Unity and Difference in Nineteenth-Century American Poetry: The Lives and Poems of Lucy Larcom, Frances Harper, and Sarah Piatt
No full textLucy Larcom, Frances Harper and Sarah Piatt used poetry, frequently under veils of sentimentality (or dramatic, emotional expression), to offer social critiques, particularly examining and challenging the positions on nineteenth-century American women. Through their representations of oppressed women who are like and unlike themselves, the poets attempt to uphold women’s individual characteristics in an inclusive way, encouraging readers to connect with the female subjects and recognize community in order to counter social judgment that marginalized women. My first chapter challenges simplified readings of Larcom’s poetry, arguing that Larcom subtly struggles with social expectations and promotes women’s individuality. Harper uses her understanding of oppressive positions, learned from her personal exposure to them through her access to the public sphere, to defend oppressed women. Finally, Piatt’s position between North and South, fairyland and reality, and her experiences of nostalgia and ambivalence shape her poetic representations of oppressed female subjects. It is critical to reread poems that critics have traditionally labeled as merely “sentimental.” Critics continue to “type cast” poets and mistake subtly political poems as simplistically straightforward. This study is one step in understanding poetic interpretations of and retaliations against American women’s oppression
