Classifying Fashion, Fashioning Class available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Drawing together theoretical ideas from across the social sciences, Classifying Fashion, Fashioning Class examines how the fashion-class association has developed and, using the experiences of middle-and-working class British women, demonstrates how this relationship operates today. Though increasingly academics argue that contemporary class distinctions are made through cultural practices and tastes, few have fully explored just how individual’s fashion choices mobilise class and are used in class evaluations. Yet, an individual’s everyday dress is perhaps the most immediate marker of taste, and thus an important means of class distinction. This is particularly true for women, as their performances of respectability, femininity and motherhood are embodied by fashion and shaped by class. In unpacking this fashion-class relationship, the book explores how fashion is used by British women to talk about class. It offers important insights into the ways fashion mobilises class differences in understandings of dressing up, performance and public space. It considers how class identity shapes women’s attitudes concerning fashion trends and classic styles, and it draws attention to the pivotal role mothers play in cultivating these class distinctions. The book will be of interest to students in sociology, fashion studies, cultural studies, human geography and consumer behaviour.

Download and read online ebook Intersectionality and Creative Business Education write by Bhabani Shankar Nayak. This book was released on 2023-06-29. Intersectionality and Creative Business Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Creative Business Education is emerging rapidly to address the needs of the creative industries including digital media, journalism, advertisement, music, marketing, films, fashion and sports business etc. Inclusive educational praxis, decolonial knowledge traditions and diverse curriculums are central to egalitarian economic development and human empowerment. As such, this edited volume explores how creative business education specifically can help to build a more diverse and inclusive environment for an increasingly diverse body of students and faculty. It discusses how students can be encouraged to succeed and excel, reflecting on the need for academic pedagogies to embrace greater inclusivity for diverse cultures. Advancing different theoretical trends within intersectionality and the limits of its praxis, contributors deal with different forms of inequalities based on class, gender, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation, and disabilities in teaching and learning. It is important to articulate and outline the critical lineages of intersectionality within creative business education and its progressive potentials for pedagogical transformation.

Download and read online ebook Beyond the Pandemic Pedagogy of Managerialism write by Bhabani Shankar Nayak. This book was released on 2023-10-03. Beyond the Pandemic Pedagogy of Managerialism available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book analyses how growing managerialism and the marketisation of higher education has undermined educational standards and pedagogical integrity. Specifically, it provides a thorough critique of how the pandemic, and the move to online learning and MOOCs, has reinforced these developments. The book outlines the limits of new managerialism, which is replacing critical mass with a culture of compliance in higher education. Employing an ethnographic approach, the book explores the impact of the sudden shift in teaching delivery from in-person to online for example, the changing role of the PhD supervisor during the pandemic, and the impact on students’ willingness to engage and their (in)visibility in the classroom, and further considers how these impact class interactions, social relationships and learning. Ultimately, this book argues that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the limits of marketisation of education and revealed the distorted managerial response to a crisis.
