Language in Louisiana : Community and Culture
Contributions by Lisa Abney, Patricia Anderson, Albert Camp, Katie Carmichael, Christina Schoux Casey, Nathalie Dajko, Jeffery U.Darensbourg, Dorian Dorado, Connie Eble, Daniel W. Hieber, David Kaufman, Geoffrey Kimball, Thomas A. Klingler, Bertney Langley, Linda Langley, Shane Lief, Tamara Lindner, Judith M.Maxwell, Rafael Orozco, Allison Truitt, Shana Walton, and Robin White. Louisiana is often presented as a bastion of French culture and language in an otherwise English environment.The continued presence of French in south Louisiana and the struggle against the language's demise have given the state an aura of exoticism and at the same time have strained serious focus on that language.Historically, however, the state has always boasted a multicultural, polyglot population.From the scores of indigenous languages used at the time of European contact to the importation of African and European languages during the colonial period to the modern invasion of English and the arrival of new immigrant populations, Louisiana has had and continues to enjoy a rich linguistic palate. Language in Louisiana: Community and Culture brings together for the first time work by scholars and community activists, all experts on the cutting edge of research.In sixteen chapters, the authors present the state of languages and of linguistic research on topics such as indigenous language documentation and revival; variation in, attitudes toward, and educational opportunities in Louisiana's French varieties; current research on rural and urban dialects of English, both in south Louisiana and in the long-neglected northern parishes; and the struggles more recent immigrants face to use their heritage languages and deal with language-based regulations in public venues.This volume will be of value to both scholars and general readers interested in a comprehensive view of Louisiana's linguistic landscape.

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.

Employing Community-Based Experiential Learning in Teacher Education
This book positions itself at the intersection of the interrelationship between three key areas of initial teacher education: constructivist learning theories, teaching practicum, and the promotion of reflective practices.It presents an innovative approach to teacher preparation at undergraduate and postgraduate levels by critically examining the implementation of a mandatory experiential learning block across subject disciplines on undergraduate and postgraduate teacher preparation courses.This book presents multiple examples and case studies of these varied experiential learning projects that will inform academics, teachers and policymakers.Through these rich examples the authors set out to address the theory-practice dilemma in teacher education, where teachers-to-be are often positioned as ‘consumers’ of educational research in classrooms, read reference books and academic papers on teaching, and observe university and school experts before applying the same acquired theories and practices in their own classes.In the book the authors argue for a shift away from this conventional teacher-learning curriculum that is characterised by the separation of theory and practice, choosing instead to promote pedagogy and methods courses where practice underpins all learning.These pedagogical perspectives include the promotion of a diverse range of learning contexts (including on- and off-campus learning sites) for student teachers to experience during their time on teacher education courses.

Should it be called community school or high school? or community school or high school?
The name of the school should reflect its primary focus and purpose. If the school serves a specific community and is deeply integrated within it, then "community school" would be a more appropriate name. On the other hand, if the school's main emphasis is on academic achievement and preparing students for higher education, then "high school" would be a better fit. Ultimately, the name should accurately represent the school's mission and values to the students, parents, and community it serves.

Is school a forced community?
School can be seen as a forced community in the sense that students are required to attend and participate in the school environment. However, it can also be viewed as a necessary community for learning and social development. While students may not have chosen to be part of the school community, it provides opportunities for education, social interaction, and personal growth. Ultimately, the perception of school as a forced community may vary depending on individual experiences and perspectives.

Is a community college a continuing education college?
No, a community college is not the same as a continuing education college. Community colleges typically offer a wider range of academic programs, including associate degrees and transfer programs to four-year universities, in addition to continuing education courses. Continuing education colleges, on the other hand, primarily focus on providing non-credit courses and professional development opportunities for adult learners looking to enhance their skills or pursue personal interests.

What do you think of the community school?
I think the community school is a great initiative that brings together students, parents, and local organizations to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment. By involving the community in the education process, the school can address the specific needs and interests of the students and provide a more well-rounded education. Additionally, the community school can serve as a hub for various resources and services that benefit the entire community, not just the students. Overall, I believe the community school is a positive and effective approach to education.

How is the LGBTQIA+ community represented in school?
The representation of the LGBTQIA+ community in schools varies widely depending on the location and the specific school. In some schools, there may be inclusive policies and support systems in place for LGBTQIA+ students, such as gender-neutral restrooms, LGBTQ+ student organizations, and inclusive curriculum. However, in many schools, LGBTQIA+ representation may be lacking, and students may face discrimination, bullying, and a lack of support from staff and peers. Efforts to improve LGBTQIA+ representation in schools include advocating for inclusive policies, providing LGBTQ+ education and training for staff, and promoting acceptance and understanding among students.

Comprehensive schools are non-selective and admit students of all abilities, whereas community schools may have selective admissions criteria. Comprehensive schools often offer a wider range of subjects and extracurricular activities, while community schools may have a more focused curriculum. Additionally, comprehensive schools are often larger and serve a more diverse student population, while community schools may be smaller and more closely tied to the local community.

Is the LGBTQ community only one level below the furry community?
It is not accurate to categorize the LGBTQ community as being one level below the furry community. The LGBTQ community represents individuals with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, advocating for equality and acceptance. On the other hand, the furry community consists of individuals who are interested in anthropomorphic animal characters and often participate in activities like creating artwork or dressing up in costumes. Both communities are distinct and should not be compared in terms of hierarchy.
