Dirty Jokes and Bawdy Songs
The Uncensored Life of Gershon Legman"An exhaustive, clear-eyed biography of a sometime folklorist, rather than a study of folklore itself. Gershon Legman, who died in 1999, was a mainly independent scholar who spent his life fascinated by--obsessed with, might be more accurate--jokes, sex, and origami, contributing significantly to their respective literatures" --Folklore "Dirty Jokes and Bawdy Songs is the product of extensive research: interviews with Legman's family (most notably his widow Judith), and his extensive network of correspondents; and investigations into his archives in France and at the Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Indiana. Her account of Legman's life and work is absorbing; she is generous but also judicious. She uncovers his blind spots and self-delusions." --Journal of American Folklore "Davis is throughout strikingly patient with and sympathetic toward her difficult subject. . . Dirty Jokes and Bawdy Songs is in every way an excellent work--for its meticulous research, its well-organized and clearly written prose, and, most of all, for its generosity of spirit. Legman was an insistently offensive presence, a difficult, even impossible man to like, despite his obvious accomplishments." --Arkansas Historical Quarterly "This book is both a highly entertaining biography of a colourful iconoclast and the tragic story of a scholar manquÉ. Susan Davis tells Legman's extraordinary story with great brio, sympathy, and critical distance." --European Journal of Humor Research "This new biography is a worthwhile addition to the would-be discipline of folkloristics. . . . Using a trove of unpublished or difficult-to-access resources, Susan G. Davis constructs a detailed account of the career of Gershon Legman." --Journal of Folklore Research "A more difficult subject is hard to imagine-a self-taught, little-known, irascible scholar who with little support and great opposition delved into some of the darkest corners of culture. Yet this remarkable and utterly engaging biography is the epic story of an unlikely hero as well as a lesson in just how much one person can accomplish in one lifetime. It also evokes an era, one uncomfortably like our own, in which scholars, theologians, politicians, and police wrestle with the unresolved issues of love and death."--John Szwed, author of Billie Holiday: The Musician and the Myth "A vigorous. . . intellectual biography of [Legman's] peculiar, relentless career." --Times Literary Supplement

Learning That Matters
This book presents research and practice which revitalises Heathcote's 'Rolling Role', an innovative trans-disciplinary model which connects the work of multiple classes to engage in collaborative imaginative work. The original model was developed by legendary teacher Dorothy Heathcote, an educational innovator who gained international fame for her transformational work centred on dramatic framing to activate meaningful and important learning. She developed models that encouraged teachers to curate powerful learning experiences through careful planning, framing, enactment and reflection. Teacher-in-Role and Mantle of the Expert are the most well known of her strategies, approaches where the teacher exercises high selectivity in a range of meditational tools and means, so as to empower students as agents with the power to 'act'. While the Rolling Role model is less well known, Heathcote herself believed that it had great potential to be realised through using websites and digital technologies. In the wake of her passing and ongoing examinations of her legacy, a practical exploration was initiated to reconceptualise the Rolling Role model through the use of digital platforms. The resulting project, 'The Water Reckoning', was an international project which engaged students in exploring ideas related to climate change, water-based catastrophe and human resilience. Further analysis and archival research have informed a deeper understanding of key principles for implementing Rolling Role and its potential for global collaboration and learning. This work has included close analysis of a set of 16 videotapes Heathcote created as a set of consultations for teachers. The book therefore collects together for the first time accounts regarding the historical development of the Rolling Role system, examples of its use and reflections on its application through the use of digital technologies. Rolling Role has the potential to be applied in a wide range of educational contexts with its focus on engaged learning, and learning that 'matters'.
