Force, Movement, Intensity: The Newtonian imagination in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Contents:
Ebook File Size 1. Of all the scientific works that have influenced the social sciences and humanities, none has matched the profound effect of the work of Isaac Newton. In his masterpiece Principia Mathematica he laid the foundation of classical mechanics in his discoveries of the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation.
He reoriented human understanding of the cosmos, thus boosting the confidence of human beings to access elements of what they saw as the divine logic behind the order of things and to have a sense of control over it. From the nineteenth century to the present day, Newton's science has inspired scholars of society in their attempts to discern the patterns of social life.
For others, such a positivist project serves as a cautionary tale to be resisted by contemporary social sciences.

Ethnic-racial socialisation is broadly described as processes by which both minority and majority children and young people learn about and negotiate racial, ethnic and cultural diversity.
This article extends the existing ethnic-racial This article extends the existing ethnic-racial socialisation literature in three significant ways: This research is based on classroom observations, semi-structured interviews and focus groups with teachers, parents and students aged 8—12 years attending four Australian metropolitan primary schools.
Such diversity informs the present collection and is signalled in the headings of its four sections: JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to contribute to this site.

The findings reveal that both teachers and parents tended to discuss racism reactively rather than proactively. The extent to which racism was discussed in classroom settings depended on: For both parents and teachers, a key issue in these discussions was determining whether something constituted either racism or racialisation. Strategies on how ethnic-racial socialisation within the school system can be improved are discussed. Teaching and Teacher Education.

Whiteness and national identity: The study examines how white teachers talked to children about national identity and cultural diversity by drawing on qualitative research with eight- to year-old students and their teachers from four Australian primary schools with The study examines how white teachers talked to children about national identity and cultural diversity by drawing on qualitative research with eight- to year-old students and their teachers from four Australian primary schools with different racial, ethnic and cultural demographics.
Despite a range of explicit and implicit approaches that fostered different levels of critique among students, teachers often communicated Australian national identity as commensurate to white racial and Anglo-Australian cultural identity. We identified three main approaches teachers used to talk about national identity and cultural diversity: We conclude that the wider education system needs to develop a more formal curriculum structure that guides teachers in developing a better awareness of the power of white normativity, and to critically and explicitly counter discourse and practice that centres whiteness as foundational to dominant conceptualisations of national identity.

Preliminary Material
While uneven access remains a particular problem for rural and remote Aboriginal communities, digital technology also provides a way of overcoming Indigenous social disadvantage. This project examines how to foster provision of culturally relevant information to Indigenous communities enabled by broadband connectivity. The research focuses upon the network of 70 touch screen kiosks installed at key community locations in remote, regional and urban communities operated by HITnet. The HITnet network is designed to address 'information disadvantage' by using IT to improve and maintain community connectedness, digital development and digital social inclusion.
Content for the information kiosks focuses on a range of critical Indigenous health issues including sexual health, cancer, mental health and nutrition. The kiosks provide a gateway to tailor-made interactive content for low literacy and inexperienced technology users with the program attracting over , users in Currently, the kiosks face bandwidth constraints.
Higher bandwidth made available via broadband creates the potential to increase community participation in content creation, including the local upload of rich media content such as video. This research project aims to assess current user practice around the kiosks to consider what features contribute to a successful interaction, such as physical placement, digital literacy and the relevance of the content.

In order to promote positive intercultural relations, reduce racism and promote harmony in diverse societies, we must better understand the processes by which both minority and majority children and young people learn about and negotiate In order to promote positive intercultural relations, reduce racism and promote harmony in diverse societies, we must better understand the processes by which both minority and majority children and young people learn about and negotiate racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity, processes known as ethnic-racial socialization.
A critical gap within the field of ethnic-racial socialization is a systematic literature review that includes a diverse range of population groups.

The primary goal of this paper is to systematically review research over the past 30 years that has examined ethnic-racial socialization processes for both minority and majority children and young people. Our main findings highlight that the majority of studies continue to focus on the ethnic-racial socialization of African American children by parents. However, emerging studies involving different ethnic-racial and cultural groups demonstrate the need to consider how multiple social and environmental factors and multiple influential agents differentially impact on the types of messages used with children and young people.

Implications for future research, in relation to the adoption of multi-level frameworks and understanding the contribution of multiple agents across a range of contexts, are discussed. Of all the scientific works that have influenced the social sciences and humanities, none has matched the profound effect of the work of Isaac Newton.
Newton, Isaac, Sir, Newton, Isaac, -- Influence. Summary This book considers the original and continuing legacy of Newtonian theories and imaginaries in the vast array of human attempts to understand the world. Drawing from a range of disciplines, the essays in this volume engage with Newton as a thinker and examine his legacy.
