Questioning society and one’s place in it is a common theme in both comedy and sociology. Understanding and subverting hierarchies and norms, exploring deviance and taboos, and relating lived experience to broader questions all hold a crucial place for them both. Introduction to Sociology Through Comedy teaches foundational sociological concepts using comedy, first considering the history of sociology before employing examples from comedians – including standalone comedy bits, sketches, characters, and scenes – to illustrate a specific theory, concept, or social phenomenon. The profession of comedy is then used as a case study for the application of sociological concepts, such as impression management, social stratification, racial segregation, deviance, and stigma, allowing readers to gain familiarity with the concepts while simultaneously practicing their application. This book explains why we laugh by applying theories of humor, which will bolster students’ understanding of sociological principles by forcing them to question their own assumptions – helping them to put why they laugh into sociological terms.

"This thesis explores the ways in which the emerging field of sustainability addresses perceptions and questions of community. Within academic articles, research, and theories about sustainability, there are multiple definitions of community that are described, analyzed, and enacted upon. Within the accepted dimensions of sustainability systems discourse (ecology, economy, and social equity) community development is a key concern (Brundtland, 1987). For those focused on social justice and equity, there is a strong emphasis on inclusion, shared decision-making, and grassroots engagement - as well as a critique of how community is discursively presented. Although sustainability is interdisciplinary, many articles are written for and by practitioners in specific disciplinary homes each of which draw on notions of community differently, and as such, gaps are created in knowledge about community, particularly around the question of community participation. One of those gaps revealed by this research is around what I have come to call "community voice," which is representative of and acts as a stand-in for the interests and concerns of people being analyzed in peer-reviewed literature about sustainable systems. The people that live in communities affected by sustainable community development processes are often rendered silent and invisible through this discursive practice. This has the effect of erasing contexts from development decisions. As the field of sustainability continues to build and publish its discourse about community development, these discursive practices need to be accounted for. " -- from Overview.

The Written Comprehension resources provide a set of therapy resources for use with people with aphasia focused on improving reading comprehension or reading for meaning. - The resources begin at the single word level but the focus rapidly becomes comprehension of phrase and then text level reading material. It was these areas where our experience showed available therapy material was limited. People with aphasia frequently express a goal of reading, be it headlines of a newspaper, magazines, letters from friends or novels. The therapy materials within this section aim to include material at a variety of complexity levels, but which have an everyday relevance to people with aphasia. - They are based on models of single word written processing, sentence comprehension and text or discourse processing. The theoretical rationale behind the materials and the therapy literature which inform them are discussed within the manual. Approaches to assessment of written comprehension are also discussed. - The materials themselves contain a wide range of tasks, from the single word level selecting and matching written words, through to phrase level tasks (e.g. comprehension of headlines), and paragraph level tasks (e.g. matching related paragraphs, answering questions).

The Auditory Processing resources provide a set of therapy resources for use with people with aphasia focused on the auditory processing of single words. They are suitable for use with people with aphasia who have auditory processing difficulties.

The resources contain a set of excellent drawings, produced exclusively for these resources which provide the user with a rich set of therapy materials. - To provide the user with background and particularly with the theoretical rationale for the materials, the manual contains discussion of the underlying reasons for auditory processing difficulties, the theoretical models used to interpret them, assessment and therapeutic approaches that have been reported in the literature. - The materials contained in the resources are then introduced and include the following tasks: 1. Auditory word-written word matching. In this task an array of written words is presented which are phonologically related to each other. The person hears one of the words and has to select which word they heard.
