Pleasantville is a mostly Black and Hispanic community located between two major freeways, the I-10 and the 610, in Houston, Texas. This placement is no accident, said Bridgette Murray, a retired nurse and local community leader: “The highway plan in the 1950s was used to divide communities of color.” Today, an estimated 300,000 vehicles stream by on a daily basis, she said.

“Education is made for students.

Beyond Screens: The Benefits of Paper-Based Learning for Elementary Students Jan. 10, 2024 • Studies Weekly In today’s digital age, technology integration in education helps prepare students for a world of screens. But this cannot be done at the expense of children’s literacy.

Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which ran from 2001 to 2003, was tasked with investigating the human rights abuses committed in the country during its armed conflict with Sendero Luminoso. It may have further signaled to investors that Peru was serious about peace. I’m teaching a first-year MA-level quantitative methods course at the moment for which the current topic is linear model diagnostics.

If you don't already follow Oliver Jeffers on Instagram I recommend that you do. He has always shared thought provoking ideas and plenty of his wonderful art, but latterly he has been sharing news about the development of his latest book (which is not for children) It's called 'Begin Again'. It's well worth getting a copy of. With his bold, exquisite artwork, Oliver Jeffers starts at the dawn of humankind following people on their journey from then until now, and then offers the reader a challen

The places that we talk about and look at on maps have been given names at some point in history by a particular group of people. The origin of those names may be problematic depending on which name we use, when more than one may well have been applied to a place during the history of its human occupation, and the Anglicised version may be used on the maps that we tend to use in the UK, rather than those used on a map purchased in the country itself.

I spent a weekend in London a month or so ago, and had an airbnb near Kilburn High Street, which I ended up walking down at one point, pondering on the bus stops along there, and the people sat waiting in them, a la Doreen Massey. Kate Stockings uses this area as the basis for some fieldwork and has kindly shared some of the materials that she uses. ??️?

A cross-posting from my GCSE Natural History blog. Six Inches of Soil is a new film, which explores the value of this material, which many people undervalue - not understanding its critical importance. I studied pedology (soil science) in the final year of my undergraduate degree, spending quite a lot of time carrying out experiments and fieldwork, and know very well how important it is to look after it. ???????????

A biological and anthropological researcher explains how humans’ diverse ways of mating might have evolved. ✽ Marrying more than one person constitutes a crime across most of the Americas and Europe. But in countries including Mali, Gambia, and Nigeria, more than a quarter of the population lives in polygamous households.
