Book Description
Jane Addams, the founder of Hull House in Chicago, may be best known as a social activist. She was also a brilliantly critical intellectual. Implicit in her many speeches, articles, and books is a view of education as a broad process of cultural transformation and renewal, a view that remains as compelling today as when it was first presented. Addams sees education as the foundation of democracy, the basis for the free expression of ideas.Addams's writings on education are interpreted in an enlightening bio-graphical introduction by Ellen Lagemann. After the initial publication of this work, Barbara L. Jacquette of the Delta Group, Inc., in Phoenix wrote, "Professor Lagemann has brought life and immediacy to Jane Addams's work. Better, she has given us a context that shows us that some of our most pressing issues today are simply old problems in new guises, problems for which some of the old solutions may still be of use." Gerald Lee Gutek of Loyola University of Chicago commented "Lagemann's insightful and sensitive biography reveals Addams's transformation from a reserved graduate of a small women's college into the Progressive reformer and pioneer of the settlement house movement."The essays collected here span a significant portion of Jane Addams's life, from the time she spent in college to her founding of Hull House and beyond. Addams's constant interest in education is reflected in her writings. This book also reveals the many influences on Addams's life, including the philosopher and educator John Dewey. On Education is an important work for educators, women's studies specialists, social workers, and historians.

Book Description
Once intent on being good to people, Jane Addams later dedicated herself to the idea of being good with people, establishing mutually-responsive and reciprocal relationships with those she served at Hull House. The essays in Jane Addams in the Classroom explore how Addams's life, work, and philosophy provide invaluable lessons for teachers seeking connection with their students. Balancing theoretical and practical considerations, the collection examines Addams's emphasis on listening to and learning from those around her and encourages contemporary educators to connect with students through innovative projects and teaching methods. In the first essays, Addams scholars lay out how her narratives drew on experience, history, and story to explicate theories she intended as guides to practice. Six teacher-scholars then establish Addams's ongoing relevance by connecting her principles to exciting events in their own classrooms. An examination of the Jane Addams Children's Book Award and a fictional essay on Addams's work and ideas round out the volume. Accessible and wide-ranging, Jane Addams in the Classroom offers inspiration for educators while adding to the ongoing reconsideration of Addams's contributions to American thought.

Book Description
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, Note: 1,7, Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Heidenheim, früher: Berufsakademie Heidenheim (Soziale Arbeit - Kinder- und Jugendhilfe), Veranstaltung: Theorien der Sozialen Arbeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Obwohl Jane Addams Arbeit sich stark auf das Hull House und den historischen Kontext bezieht, ist ihre Quartier- und Sozialraumarbeit die Wurzel des heutigen Streetworkers. Genau wie Jane will der Streetworker durch die persönliche Begegnung die Bedingungen und Auslöser sozialer Probleme verstehen, verändern und bewältigen. Die Probleme des Klientel: Prostitution, Delinquenz, Alkohol- & Drogenabhängigkeit sind gleichgeblieben. Durch ihre Theorien, die die Ursachen sozialer Probleme aufzeigen, will sie den Sozialschwachen zu mehr Gerechtigkeit verhelfen. Aber auch durch ihre Bücher, diverse Verbände oder Stiftungen versucht sie, die Politik darauf aufmerksam zu machen. Denn für Jane Addams ist Armut nicht eine Frage persönlicher Schwäche, sondern das Ergebnis gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse. Jane Addams Theorie, die ein wichtiges Fundament für die heutige Sozialarbeit war und die daraus entstandene Settlement-Bewegung: erfolgreich oder nicht?

Book Description
Filling a void in Jane Addams scholarship, this first volume of The Selected Papers of Jane Addams collects extant documents from the formative years of the major American historical figure, intellectual, social activist, and author. Documenting the early development of Addams's social principles, the documents reveal the leadership skills that led her into a life of public commitment. For all her public compassion and visibility as an outspoken pacifist, Progressive reformer, and founder of Hull-House, Addams was an intensely private person who revealed her personal side only to family and close friends. Drawing on letters, diaries, and other writings from her childhood in Cedarville, Illinois, and her education at the Rockford Female Seminary, this volume provides heretofore unavailable insight into her developing ideas, educational experiences, and personal relationships. More than just biographical records, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams defines the era in which Addams lived. Unique yet representative of the spiritual ideals and political sensibilities of post-Civil War women and society, Addams's lesser-known, personal writings are necessary reading for scholars and historians. The volume explores important themes, including the migration of families westward, the first generation of college women, and the religious and domestic lives of nineteenth-century Americans. The editors' rich annotation of individuals and events featured in the documents and appendix of biographical profiles represent a trove of primary research and place the documents in historical context.
