"Public administration education programs prepare students in the provision of important public and non-profit services, so it is essential that such programs help prepare administrators to understand and contribute to promoting social equity, one of the pillars of the discipline. This exciting new book from social equity authorities Sean McCandless and Susan T. Gooden demonstrates how public administration faculty can teach social equity across the curriculum, in practical terms. This edited collection features chapters from authors experienced in both public administration and in teaching social equity. Each chapter discusses teaching social equity in a particular class (Introduction to Public Administration, Organizational Dynamics and Theory, Human Resources, Policy Process, Research Methods, Capstones, and more) through distinct pedagogical practices that advance student learning (case studies, community engagement projects, and simulations, to name a few). Teaching Social Equity in Public Administration captures an array of instructional approaches to social equity within public affairs education, particularly at the graduate level. It includes approaches from long-term, as well as newer instructors, across a diversity of universities. The book serves as an important resource to faculty who teach these courses, as well as the students who take them. Most importantly, it is a resource to academics and practitioners alike who share a commitment to fairness and equity in the implementation of services to the public"--

Corporate volunteerism is a form of corporate philanthropy: employees volunteer in nonprofit organizations that are selected by corporations, and they do so under the supervision of the corporation, during working hours or on their free time. We analyze corporate volunteerism, both in France and in the United States, as a corporate policy, focusing on the roots of such policies, on the actors who develop them, on the actors targeted by them, and on their consequences. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first describes the historical, political and social contexts in which corporate volunteerism policies have emerged. The main themes are the importation by some French corporate officers of US volunteerism policies, American philanthropic culture and history, French paternalism, French and American nonprofit sectors, and the ways the American and French governments have promoted corporate volunteerism through tax policies and more symbolic measures. The second part focuses on the different actors encountered during fieldwork conducted in the Paris and New York areas: corporate officers in charge of philanthropy and volunteerism, corporate volunteers, union leaders and nonprofit workers in charge of corporate relations and volunteerism. This dissertation emphasizes the way volunteerism has been used by firms to promote their internal and public image, the transformations of the nonprofit sector as a result of corporate volunteerism, the priority given to corporate goals over social needs and the involvement of the corporate world in matters concerning the public good. ; Le bénévolat d'entreprise est une forme de mécénat qui consiste à encourager les salariés à être bénévoles auprès d'organisations non lucratives présélectionnées par les services de mécénat de l'entreprise, et ce sous les couleurs de celle-ci, pendant ou hors du temps de travail. Ces pratiques sont envisagées comme des politiques d'entreprise : il s'agit d'analyser, en France et aux Etats-Unis, leur genèse, les acteurs qui les portent et ceux auxquels elles sont destinées, et leurs effets. La première partie de la thèse se concentre sur le contexte historique, politique et social dans lequel les politiques de bénévolat d'entreprise se sont développées dans chaque pays. L'importation en France par certains chefs d'entreprise de pratiques développées aux Etats-Unis, la philanthropie et l'éthique du don américains, le paternalisme industriel et l'idéologie associative français et les soutiens fiscaux et symboliques des pouvoirs publics dans les deux pays sont au cœur de l'analyse. La seconde partie étudie les discours et les pratiques des acteurs rencontrés au cours de l'enquête de terrain menée en région parisienne et à New York : les salariés responsables du bénévolat d'entreprise, les salariés participant au bénévolat d'entreprise, les syndicalistes et les salariés chargés de l'accueil des bénévoles d'entreprise au sein des organisations non lucratives. La thèse souligne la promotion d'un engagement au sein et au profit des entreprises, les transformations du secteur non lucratif induites par le bénévolat d'entreprise, la primauté des attentes des entreprises sur les besoins sociaux et leur intervention dans la prise en charge de l'intérêt général.

"Timely and accessible, this book critically explores the meaning and practice of teacher advocacy. Drawing from the work of teachers who advocate with and for students who are traditionally marginalized-including students of color, students with exceptionalities, students in poverty, and immigrant students-this volume investigates classroom realities like inequitable distribution of resources, student trauma, and uneven support for teachers' work from administrators. Unlike other texts on teacher activism, this book embeds activism within an existing leadership framework and strategies that teachers enact within the classroom, across the school, and in their communities. Foregrounding data in the five case studies, this book is an invaluable resource for pre-service teachers and scholars in teacher education, social justice education, and educational leadership"--

"This book tells the real story of abortion in America, one that captures a disturbing reality of sometimes insurmountable barriers put in front of women trying to exercise their legal rights to medical services. Without the efforts of an unheralded army of doctors, nurses, social workers, activists, and volunteers, what is a legal right would be meaningless for the almost one million people per year who get abortions. There is a better way-treating abortion like any other form of health care-but the United States is a long way from that ideal"--

Veterans and military families have a wealth of stories and history to offer students and certain needs that can be filled by energetic, engaged, and caring young people. This type of service learning helps students put their history and social studies education into context. This book presents service learning with many examples of how students can use it to get to know and learn from local veterans while also giving back to them and providing assistance to a segment of the population that has served our national interests and now requires our assistance and support

The best way to teach democracy has been the subject of an ongoing debate for 2,500 years. Unlike most books about teaching democracy, this one spends more time on how to teach democracy than the what and why of teaching democracy. It punctures the irony of teaching democracy by lectures and superior teachers. In its place, this book provides a variety of illustrations for the teaching of democracy in an experiential and egalitarian fashion.

"Each person confined in jails, prisons, and juvenile detention facilities must be afforded unimpeded access to needed health care. Such persons, without risk of interference or fear of reprisal, should be able to alert health care staff of a medical need, obtain a timely professional evaluation of that need, and receive treatment in the manner prescribed by a competent provider. This book focuses on access to health care services by special populations in correctional institutions (women, youths, elderly, persons with dementia, and the terminally ill) and includes important information on privatization in corrections. Some topics covered include mass incarceration, intake health screening, copayment, gender sensitivity, special problems of women and girls in corrections, pregnancy and maternity, plight of young persons in the justice system, aging behind bars, peer volunteers, restraints, palliative care, and transitional case management. The book concludes with end- of-life care in prison, hospice, palliative care, and compassionate release. It will serve as an invaluable tool for correctional officers, health care providers, justice and legal professionals, social workers, mental health professionals, and counselors"--

Showing students the human side of immigration debates, service-learning opportunities with immigrant and migrant communities can offer an enormously rewarding experience to participants. In addition to enhancing discussions on immigration that can take place in history, social studies, language, political science, economics, or other classes, these opportunities give students a chance to directly affect the lives of those who often find themselves on the periphery of society. This volume examines the various service-learning projects available to those who wish to positively impact immigrant and migrant communities and guides readers through the process of successfully executing a service-learning project

Community Projects as Social Activism: From Direct Action to Direct Services by Benjamin Shepard is an engaging and accessible work that will get today's students excited about the very real prospect of achieving lasting, positive change within their communities. It outlines a distinct approach to community practice born out of the intersection among social movements, day-to-day organizing, and the lessons of five decades of community change practices. This invaluable resource is a must-have for anyone involved in community organization, community health, and community activism practice research and policy

This book emphasizes family-centered, social network, and school-based interventions in the preparation of social workers for direct and indirect practice with clients from vulnerable populations, especially the poor, people of color, and recent immigrant groups. With an eye to recent changes in social work practice and service delivery, including the impact of welfare reform and managed care on vulnerable families and children, Social Work Practice with Families and Children helps social work students and practitioners understand the increasingly complex needs of their clients.
