"his is the first book that explores the history of how the cat came to be the undisputed mascot of the internet. Internet cats can differ in dramatic ways, from the goth cats of Twitter to the glamourpusses of Instagram to the giddy, nonsensical silliness of Nyan Cat; but they share a common signification of internettiness. And as such, internet cats offer a useful-and playful-way to investigate the communities of practitioners that surround computing and, more generally, to understand how culture shapes, and is shaped by, technology"--

In this provocative book, a black lesbian feminist looks at black feminism -- its roots, its role, and its implications. From Charles Darwin and nineteenth-century racism to black nationalism and the Nation of Islam, from Baptist women's groups to James Baldwin, E. Frances White takes on one institution after another as she re-centers the role of black women in the United States' intellectual heritage. White presents identity politics as a complex activity, with entangled branches of race and gender, of invisibility and voyeurism, of defiance and passivity and conformism. White's

Sustained shared thinking dialogues which focus on teacher talk with preschool learners have long been considered an important route to learning progression. Toddlers, however, seldom engage in dialogues through talk alone, and their encounters are often fleeting. As a consequence, they are often positioned on the periphery of learning dialogues that are granted primacy in the Capitalocene, because they must first acquire adult forms of communication and their meanings before thought becomes possible. Viewed from a dialogic standpoint, however, toddlers offer important clues to co-constituted meaning-making through subtle, fleeting, embodied and interconnected language acts. When stitched together across time and space and in speculative, apperceptive, contemplation of their strategic orientation, these seemingly random utterances can act as a source of shared thinking through interanimating chains of thought that implicate teachers as well as toddlers. In the paper that follows, utterance chains are brought to life through curated video and dialogue with Aotearoa New Zealand teachers who, sought to 'think with' toddlers in ECE settings. Paying attention to interconnecting links in meaning across language acts over time and space, utterance chains invoked apperceptive engagement with language and thought. These discoveries invite teachers to expand communicative repertoires to 'think with' young learners as optimistic encounters of 'making-with' bestowals in and for the Chthulucene.

A study of a large sample-10,337-of Amer primary Sch age children shows that aside from grade, the single best predictor of a sense of pol'al efficacy is intelligence; soc participation appears to have a signif effect, but neither sex nor SC seems to be important. While intelligence & SC are often signif'ly r'ed, bright We children are likely to feel more pol'ly efficacious than slow Me ones. IPSA.
