The Status of Student Involvement in University Governance in Kenya
This book examines the concept of the democratization of governance in universities in Kenya with particular emphasis on students involvement in governance processes and decision making. Data were collected from members of the student community utilizing a structured self-administered questionnaire and from purposively selected key informants and focus group discussants drawn from Kenyatta University (representing the public sector) and the United States International University (representing the private sector). The guiding argument for the study was that shared governance, one of the principles of good governance, is critical in enabling the universities to deliver their visions and the mi...
Global Perspectives on Well-Being in Immigrant Families
Global Perspectives on Well-Being in Immigrant Families addresses how immigrant families and their children cope with the demands of a new country in relation to psychological well-being, adjustment, and cultural maintenance. The book identifies cultural and contextual factors that contribute to well-being during a family’s migratory transition to ensure successful outcomes for children and youth. In addition, the findings presented in this book outline issues for future policy and practice including preventive practices that might allow for early intervention and increased cultural sensitivity among practitioners, school staff, and researchers.
Arbeitsmarktorientierte Erwachsenenbildung. Im Spannungsfeld von Verwertbarkeit und Emanzipation
"Brauchbares" und für den Arbeitsmarkt "Verwertbares" zu erlernen, ist heute durchgehend zu einer Direktive (bildungs-)politischer Programme geworden. So werden in vielen Papieren und Deklarationen zur Erwachsenenbildung Arbeitsmarktrelevanz, Arbeitsplatznähe, die Entwicklung eines "Unternehmergeistes", die sofortige Anschlussfähigkeit/Verwertung des Erlernten und die Vermittlung/Verbesserung von Kompetenzen im Umgang mit den Herausforderungen der aktuellen und künftigen wirtschaftlichen Situation gefordert, wenn nicht gar eingefordert. Wie verändert sich dadurch die Erwachsenenbildung? Wie gestalten sich arbeitsmarktorientierte Angebote, die TeilnehmerInnen für die Teilhabe am Arbeits...
Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Pastoralist Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
The term climate change is used to denote any significant but extended change in the measures of climate. The changes could be due to natural variability or as a result of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels to produce energy, deforestation, industrial processes, and some agricultural practices. Such activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that hang like a blanket around the earth, thus trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing it to warm up. This results increasingly in climate variability, which is characterised by extreme seasonal, annual, temporal and non-spatial variability in temperature, vagaries of precip...

Going to University
Around the world, more young people than ever before are attending university. Student numbers in South Africa have doubled since democracy and for many families, higher education is a route to a better future for their children.

We know, from macro research, that South African graduates generally have good employment prospects. But little is known at a detailed level about how young people actually make use of their unive...
