Participatory Culture, Community, and Play : Learning from Reddit
What does online community look like in the age of social networking?How do participatory culture platforms reflect both their designers’ intentions and the desires of their users?In this incisive and timely work, Adrienne L. Massanari discusses how culture is created and challenged on Reddit.com, the self-proclaimed «front page of the internet».Reddit enables the sharing of original and reposted content from around the web, and provides a platform for like-minded individuals to commune around topics of interest – everything from the joys of drinking beer in a shower (/r/showerbeer) to celebrating the pleasures of tidy penmanship (/r/penmanshipporn).Massanari’s ethnographic work provides a detailed examination of the contradictions that shape Reddit’s culture and how they reflect its role as an epicenter of geek culture.The book explores the ways in which community on Reddit is formed and solidified through play and humor, and the complex ways in which Redditors come together, which demonstrate a deep capacity for altruism and charitable giving, but can easily lapse into mob action.It also explores the community’s troubling gender and racial politics and how some Redditors are carving out their own space on the site to fight back.

Queer, Trans, and Intersectional Theory in Educational Practice : Student, Teacher, and Community Experiences
Offering an examination of educational approaches to promote justice, this volume demonstrates the necessity for keeping race, ethnicity, class, language, and other diversities at the core of pedagogical strategies and theories that address queer, trans, gender nonbinary and related issues. Queer theory, trans theory, and intersectional theory have all sought to describe, create, and foster a sense of complex subjectivity and community, insisting on relationality and complexity as concepts and communities shift and change.Each theory has addressed exclusions from dominant practices and encouraged a sense of connection across struggles.This collection brings these crucial theories together to inform pedagogies across a wide array of contexts of formal education and community-based educational settings.Seeking to push at the edges of how we teach and learn across subjectivities and communities, authors in this volume show that theories inform practice and practice informs theory—but this takes careful attention, reflexivity, and commitment.This scholarly text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, teachers, libraries and policy makers in the field of Gender and Sexuality in Education, LGBTQ studies, Multicultural Education and Sociology of Education.

'Student exchange or after school?'
Both student exchange programs and after-school activities offer valuable opportunities for students to learn and grow. Student exchange programs provide a unique cultural experience and the chance to develop language skills, while after-school activities can help students explore their interests and develop new skills in a familiar environment. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on the individual student's goals, interests, and personal circumstances. Some students may thrive in a new cultural environment, while others may prefer to pursue their passions through after-school activities.
-
Is a student exchange also possible if you cannot host an exchange student yourself?
Yes, a student exchange is still possible even if you cannot host an exchange student yourself. Many exchange programs offer opportunities for students to participate in outbound exchanges, where they can study abroad in a different country without hosting a student in return. This allows students to experience a new culture, language, and educational system while still participating in an exchange program. Students can apply for outbound exchange programs through their school or through external exchange organizations.

Where should the exchange student sleep?
The exchange student should ideally have their own private room to ensure they have a comfortable and private space to rest and study. If a private room is not available, they could share a room with a same-sex sibling or family member.

International Student Visibility : Living and Participating in Community
This book narrates the ubiquitous relationship that international students have with their destination community, asking why students are not part of these communities despite being visible actors not only as students but as neighbours and as workers in the service industries and the gig economy. This book examines international students living and working in Australia through a cultural and communications lens, bringing together almost a decade of interviews and online surveys.It provides insight into their transnational identities and social and cultural practices in real-world and digital spaces.Despite being an integral part of the ethnographic landscape of the places they occupy, this book argues that international students are often not an integrated part of the wider community.To remedy this, international students have found ways to explore and communicate their experiences as transient migrants in Australia.This book thus goes beyond canonical academic commentary on the international student experience – which often views them as vulnerable migrants – to suggest that students create a sense of community and belonging while providing the wider Australian public insights into the international student experience through the creative arts. This book will appeal to scholars, upper-level students, and researchers with interests in international and comparative education, sociology of education, urban education, cultural studies, migration studies, and youth studies.

Redesigning Student Learning in Secondary School : Enhancing the Teacher and Student Experience
Redesigning Student Learning in Secondary Schools offers an accessible account of developments in secondary schooling in western countries over the past 150 years, questioning why so little has changed and introducing examples of, and proposals for, significant shifts from traditional practices. Structured in three parts, Part 1 traces the evolution of mass secondary schooling systems and how their process shaped the student and teacher experience.Part 2 describes how system restructuring accommodated the whole student population, with some managers investing more heavily in market principles than others who placed greater trust in teachers to deliver high quality standards in basic skills.In Part 3, the author introduces various examples of how system and school redesign is, and has been attempted in recent years, arguing for, and explaining, a ‘service' model of schooling, adoption of technology to transform the teaching-learning process, empowering students to have more input into their own topic choice, through closer collaboration with teachers to identify and achieve learning goals.Proposals for how to undertake redesign are also discussed. This book will be of interest to secondary school educators, school leaders and managers.
