Digital Protest and Activism in Public Education : Reactions to Neoliberal Restructuring in Israel
Digital protest and activism in reaction to the consequences of neoliberalism in public education have become a global phenomenon in the second decade of the 21st century, emerging in countries such as the US, UK, France, and Israel.Teachers, parents, and other stakeholders in education are increasingly using digital media in their protest and activism efforts, yet these efforts have hardly been investigated to date.This book addresses this gap and employs an empirical exploration of the way in which Internet-based protest activity concerning public education issues is constructed, mobilised, and carried out.In doing so it provides key insights for the study of educational politics in the digital age.It shows how digital media is used by teachers and parents to create a bottom-up politics, spanning a common divide in the study of education politics between the macro (policymaking) and the micro (school) levels.The authors propose a novel taxonomy of uses of social media by digital activists, and argue that Internet-based social mobilisations develop different patterns of use of social media, based on the lived experience of their members and potential supporters.Finally, the book situates the rise of digital activism in education within the neoliberal restructuring of national education systems and the rise of neoliberal discourse of competition, budget discipline, and measurable achievements.The authors highlight three cases of Internet-based mobilisations in Israel, in which teachers and parents successfully affected public education policy. By providing a case-study driven analysis of digital protest and activism in education, this book will prove an invaluable text for researchers, leaders and practitioners in the field of education policy and comparative education.

Lifting the Chains : The Black Freedom Struggle Since Reconstruction
All-Black institutions and local community groups have been at the forefront of the freedom struggle since the beginning. Lifting the Chains is a history of the Black experience in America since the Civil War, told by one of our mostdistinguished historians of modern America, William H.Chafe. He argues that, despite the wishes and arguments of many whites to the contrary, the struggle for freedom has been carried out primarily by Black Americans, with only occasional assistance from whites.Chafe highlights the role of all-black institutions--especially the churches, lodges, local gangs, neighborhood women's groups, and the Black college clubs that gathered at local pool halls--that talked up the issues, examined different courses of action, and then put their lives on the line to make change happen. The book draws heavily on the tremendous oral history archives at Duke that Chafe founded and nurtured, much of which is previously unpublished.The the archives are now a collection of more than 3,600 oral histories tracing the evolution of Black activism, managed under the auspices of the Duke Center for Documentary History.Taking its title from a phrase coined by W.E.B. DuBois in 1903, the project uncovered the degree to which Blacks never gave up the struggle against racism, even during the height of Jim Crow segregation from 1900 to 1950.Chafe draws on these valuable resources to build this definitive history of African American activism, a history that can and should inform Black Lives Matter and other contemporary social justice movements.

What are these chains called, where multiple chains are connected together?
These chains are called chain assemblies or chain strands. They are created by connecting multiple individual chains together using connecting links or master links. This allows for the creation of longer or stronger chains to suit specific applications or requirements.
-
What are Markov chains?
Markov chains are mathematical models that describe a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. They are used to model a wide range of phenomena, such as weather patterns, stock prices, and biological processes. Markov chains are characterized by their memorylessness property, meaning that the future state of the system depends only on the current state and not on the sequence of events that preceded it.

What are Judas chains?
Judas chains are a type of restraint device used in law enforcement and corrections. They consist of a pair of handcuffs connected by a short chain, allowing the hands to be restrained close together. This type of restraint is often used for transporting and controlling individuals who are being arrested or detained. The name "Judas chains" is derived from the biblical figure Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus with a kiss, symbolizing the close proximity of the restrained individual's hands.

What are Bernoulli chains?
Bernoulli chains are a type of stochastic process where each event has a binary outcome, typically denoted as success or failure. These chains are named after the Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli, who made significant contributions to the field of probability theory. In Bernoulli chains, the probability of success remains constant from trial to trial, and each event is independent of the others. These chains are commonly used in various fields, including statistics, economics, and engineering, to model random processes with two possible outcomes.

Environmental Activism and the Media : The Politics of Protest
For more than 40 years politicians, activists, advocates, and individuals have been seeking ways to solve the problem of climate change.Governments and the United Nations have taken an economic path, while others seek solutions in the equality of climate justice.Taking the step from green consumer to the streets at climate summits and protest camps, as well as taking direct action recasts activists as everything from tree huggers, to domestic extremists, to ecoterrorists.Political policing and new legislation increasingly criminalizes environmental activism, supported by media reporting that recasts environmental activism as actions to be feared. Why this has happened and how activists have learned to circumvent the media’s recasting is the story of Environmental Activisim and the Media: The Politics of Protest.Through media movements to persuade the moveable middle, high court challenges, and gatekeeping, activists have found ways to challenge media and political discourse. This book identifies four key areas to tie together diverse sets of green governmentality, traditional media discourse, and activism: (1) environmental governance and green governmentality; (2) historical media discourse; (3) alternative communication infrastructures; and (4) local to the global.Using data from 50 interviews, archival research, and non-participatory observation from environmental activists from the UK, USA, and Australia, this text will show why protest is important in democratic political participation. From activists to slacktivists, Environmental Activism and the Media: The Politics of Protest is for those with an interest in cultural, social, and political studies; democratic processes; climate and social justice; governmentality; and/or the study of environmental politics, human geography, communication, and sustainability.

Anonymity
Formally launched in 2014, ALA’s Center for the Future of Libraries works to identify emerging trends relevant to libraries and the communities they serve, promote futuring and innovation techniques to help librarians and library professionals shape their future, and build connections with experts and innovative thinkers to help libraries address emerging issues.The first volume in a new series presented in partnership with the Center, Anonymity explores the roles and ramifications of this hallmark of technology.In the virtual realm, anonymity means that such bedrock values of librarianship as privacy, free speech, and intellectual freedom coexist uneasily with the proliferation of fake news, sexist and racist sentiments, and repugnant ideologies.As trusted guardians of knowledge, libraries and librarians can fill a growing need for reputable information and open dialog.Macrina, founder and director of the Library Freedom Project and a core contributor to the Tor Project, along with co-author Cooper of The Intercept, discuss apps (Whisper, Secret) and forums (Reddit) that promote anonymity as a central feature, even as so-called true anonymity remains elusive because of pervasive user data tracking.They also examine how anonymous content has become valuable fodder for both news organizations and clickbait websites.Will the rise of anonymity and the vulnerabilities it exposes, especially for governments and businesses, lead to a movement against it? Or have our society and its technology passed the point of no return?Bringing issues and viewpoints from outside the profession into the conversation, this book will encourage libraries to think about anonymity and what it means for the future of our institutions.

What are food chains?
Food chains are a series of organisms in an ecosystem that are linked by their feeding habits. They show the flow of energy and nutrients from one organism to another. Each link in the food chain represents a different trophic level, with producers at the bottom (such as plants), followed by primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and so on. Food chains are an important part of understanding the interactions and relationships between different species in an ecosystem.
