Skill Training for Social Workers: A Manual , responds to the demand for indigenous textbooks and teaching materials for social work educators, scholars and students. Unlike theory books of social work which list the skills required for the practice of social work methods but do not enable the development of these skills, this manual bridges the gap by providing concrete exercises for the development of method-linked skills. Some of its main features are:. - Includes theoretical inputs, games and exercises on the theme of understanding perception, self-awareness, sensitivity, communication and

Recent years have seen a rise in transgender fiction—especially transgender fan fiction. In the latter practice, we find characters reimagined as transgender subjects with their unique circumstances remolded or recontextualized to make sense as a trans* narrative. This is a look at the process of recognition taking place in the creation of these works of fan fiction—both in the way of recognizing a character's suitability to carry transgender meaning and in how recognition plays a part in the transgender narrative presented.

With the widespread diffusion of the internet and online archives, fan fiction is increasingly consumed by fans who do not speak English as a first language. It is therefore relevant to argue that fan fiction, especially as found on the fan-run Archive of Our Own, may work as a space for second language vocabulary acquisition. The high motivation and extensive engagement with forms of reading of fans who read and write fan fiction helps with vocabulary acquisition.

"I, who know nothing, have wanted to meddle in it": Blaise de Monluc says he "meddles" in historiography in order to distinguish himself from "scholar" historians, as did the Du Bellay brothers who wrote at the same time. But they all express their views about political action through history: they write on history instead of writing history. Therefore Montaigne, in his Essays, emphasizes that one needs to be able to judge between history and the actors of history. The distinction between literary genres that opposes history to memoirs, "commentaries" and "essays", fails to explain these authors' relationship to history. I propose to consider this relationship from the perspective of "judging-history", – a history written by its actors, focusing on political action ("faits" and "dits" in XVIth-century French) and the conseils ("counsels", i.e. the actors' designs and deliberations). The first section explains the importance of judging-history during the reign of Francis I, due to the prevalent ideologies and practices of French monarchy at the time, but also due to the contemporaneous revival of philosophical, rhetorical and historiographical traditions which link counsels with discernment (discrétion), speeches (concions) and sincerity (parrhesia). Under Francis I's reign these practices and traditions were brought together. Indeed, humanists, the nobility of sword and the royal State called for a judging-history intended to train political elites. The second section demonstrates that an author, Guillaume du Bellay de Langey, and his work, the Ogdoades, embodied this hope, reconciling the pen and the sword. Having studied the birth of this unfinished work, I comment on the Ogdoades's Prologue (edited in this thesis), a manifesto and method which defines the relationships between rhetoric, judgement and political experience within historiography. I then study this method's implementation in the Ogdoades's extant passages. The third section focuses on the works of two Langey's most important heirs: his brother Martin du Bellay's Memoirs and Monluc's Commentaries. The artes historicae, in the second half of the XVIth century, emphasize the importance of parrhesia in historical writing: such a stance is not anti-rhetorical, but rather rejects the notion of authors writing as clercs d'armes ("clerks of arms", i.e., scholars writing on military matters) because in their writings they reveal their lack of political experience. The ars bene dicendi continues to fascinate Martin du Bellay and Monluc, whose writing attempts to be paradoxically eloquent, because it has been stripped of epidictic pageantry; the counsels' parrhesia make it possible to overcome the dichotomy between bien dire and bien faire – a dichotomy which is often supposed to characterize military memoirs' poetics. Monluc et Martin du Bellay seek to understand the scope and limits of their own capacities for action. The fourth section examines the role of judging-history and Langey's legacy in the Essays. For a long time we have known the affinities between Amyot, Bodin and Montaigne, but what we have ignored is Montaigne's links with the Du Bellays. Such a notion as judging-history allows us to understand the synthetical and yet comprehensive judgments that Montaigne makes on the actors of history. Seeking a way to act in a clear-headed and prudent manner, the essayist examines the possibility to speak and act freely. Therefore, his relationship with politics and rhetoric should be rethought in terms of conseil and discrétion. My conclusion draws a Guillaume du Bellay moment when history was not considered as a study of the past but as the reflective extension of the actors of history's deliberations and as a way to "dire sur ce qui peut advenir" (talk about what could happen next). ; « [M]oi, qui ne sçay rien, m'en suis voulu mesler » : Blaise de Monluc dit se « mêler » d'écrire l'histoire pour se distinguer des historiographes « lettrés », comme le font également, à la même époque, les frères du Bellay. Tous font cependant valoir leurs jugements sur l'action politique dans l'histoire : ils écrivent sur l'histoire plutôt qu'ils n'écrivent l'histoire. Ainsi Montaigne insiste, dans les Essais, sur la nécessité de savoir juger l'histoire et ses acteurs. La distinction générique qui oppose l'histoire aux Mémoires, aux « Commentaires » et aux « essais » s'avère peu opérante pour comprendre ces auteurs. Je propose d'aborder leur rapport à l'histoire sous l'angle de « l'histoire-jugement », une histoire écrite par ses acteurs, qui porte sur l'action politique (les « faits » et les « dits » dans la langue du XVIe siècle) et sur les « conseils », c'est-à-dire les intentions et délibérations des acteurs. La première partie explique l'importance qu'a prise l'histoire-jugement au temps de François Ier, en raison, d'abord, des idéologies et des pratiques de la monarchie contemporaine, puis par la « renaissance » de traditions philosophiques, rhétoriques et historiographiques qui associent le conseil au discernement (ou « discrétion »), aux discours (« concions » ou conciones) et à la franchise (ou parrêsia). Le règne de François Ier voit se nouer ces pratiques et ces traditions : les humanistes, la noblesse d'épée et l'État royal appellent de leurs vœux une histoire-jugement destinée à la formation des élites politiques. La deuxième partie montre qu'un auteur, Guillaume du Bellay de Langey, et une œuvre, ses Ogdoades, ont incarné cette aspiration, réunissant les lettres et les armes. Après avoir étudié la naissance de cette œuvre restée inachevée, j'analyse le Prologue des Ogdoades (ici édité), manifeste et méthode qui définit les rapports de la rhétorique, du jugement et de l'expérience politique dans l'historiographie ; puis j'étudie la mise en œuvre de cette méthode dans les fragments des Ogdoades. La troisième partie porte sur l'œuvre des deux plus importants héritiers de Langey : les Mémoires de son frère Martin du Bellay (qui comprennent une partie des Ogdoades) et les Commentaires de Monluc. Le discours sur l'historiographie, dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle, insiste sur la parrêsia de l'historien ; un tel discours n'est pas anti-rhétorique mais rejette une écriture de « clerc d'armes » parce qu'elle révèle l'inexpérience politique de l'historien. L'ars bene dicendi ne laisse pas de fasciner Martin du Bellay et Monluc, dont l'écriture se veut paradoxalement éloquente, parce que dépouillée des fastes de l'épidictique ; la parrêsia des conseils permet de dépasser l'opposition du bien dire et du bien faire à laquelle on résume souvent la poétique des Mémoires d'épée. Monluc et Martin du Bellay cherchent ainsi à comprendre la portée et les limites de leur capacité d'agir. La quatrième partie examine la place de l'histoire-jugement et l'héritage de Langey dans les Essais : on sait depuis longtemps les affinités de Montaigne avec Amyot et Bodin, mais on ignorait qu'il en eût avec les Du Bellay. La notion d'histoire-jugement permet de comprendre les jugements, synthétiques et pourtant circonstanciés, que porte Montaigne sur les acteurs de l'histoire. Cherchant dans l'histoire les voies d'une prudence lucide, l'essayiste s'interroge sur la possibilité d'agir et de parler librement, ce qui autorise à penser son rapport à la politique et à la rhétorique en termes de conseil et de « discrétion ». La conclusion esquisse un moment Guillaume du Bellay, où l'histoire fut comprise non comme une étude du passé mais comme le prolongement réflexif des délibérations des acteurs de l'histoire, comme le moyen de « dire sur ce qui peut advenir ».

"Disability is a human rights issue." This is a common expression in many contemporary disability rights scholarly work. While researching on disability rights may not raise questions, often, a selection of topic could be generated by many factors, including the researcher's personal interest. Matters of personal interest aside, I opted to research on Persons with Disability's Right to work, not because everything is perfect with other aspects of disability rights, but because work (or employment) should be among means of empowerment. Unfortunately, work is among such areas where persons with disability have been facing discrimination. Considering the complexities of poverty, and the economies of African nations, it is worth undertaking a study focusing on Africa because, while human rights are perceived as universal, there are also concerns that imposing a universal approach throughout the world risks ignoring some specific differences across nations and continents. This work is also intended to add on to the existing knowledge on disability, especially with respect to Africa, considering the fact that compared to other parts of the world, there has not been so much literature on disability rights in Africa. My work is limited to Tanzania and five other selected African countries, namely Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, South Africa and Ghana. Because of Tanzania's political and legal structure, a discussion of Tanzania covers both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. I elaborate how the international approaches to employment and disability rights have evolved, and how these approaches have influenced laws and policies on the employment of persons with disability in Tanzania and other States selected for the purposes of this work. The combination of "disability rights" and "employment rights" mean that as with other rights, what is needed is to construe rights in such a way that they fit the requirements of persons with disability, enabling them to enjoy the rights on equal basis with other persons without disability. The ...

Certain TV series, such as The Leftovers (2014–17) and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017), encourage their fandoms to solve puzzles, search for clues, and comb the internet for answers to questions. As a result of this work, fans can consider their readings of the series legitimate, even canonical, regardless of the producers' intent. Just as queer readings can be as valid as mainstream interpretations, these fan viewers use the language and strategies of alternative viewers to legitimize their own readings.

This essay examines the range of gender designations, particularly those referring to women (as a class), within the research I conducted on genderswap fan work. The survey I did as part of that research had 295 participants, who were provided a short-answer field to explain their gender identity. The vast majority can be considered as being in the class of "women," but the ways in which they define themselves offer a significant expansion to the surface that "women" can be conceived to cover.

By putting pornographic comics and fan art into conversation, this article contends that works intended to depict and fuel sexual fantasy structure time and space differently with the goal of directly engaging the reader and extending the duration of her pleasure. Further, the comics and pieces of fan art examined herein are produced by, for, and about women and suggest an alternative vision of female desire that challenges contemporary understandings of pornography's utility and functioning as it intersects with fantasy in the private sexual economy.
