Language education and the university: fostering socially-just practices in undergraduate contexts. Volume 1: language, culture and discourse

Organizadores: Daniel de Mello Ferraz, Ana Paula Martinez Duboc ​ We don’t know what the future holds among so much polarization, hybrid wars, movements to disassemble public education, but the role of a teacher educator who is engaged and aware of its representation in the society cannot be denied and vanished. On the contrary, a teacher educator in the complexity of his/her role will inevitably be reference of resistance: creating discursive and theoretical opportunities, legitimizing knowledge other than those which comes top down. Certainly, this book will trigger other similar projects and contribute meaningfully to critical teacher education (Fabrício Ono). ​ ISBN: 978-65-5939-053-3 (brochura) 978-65-5939-054-0 (eBook) ​ DOI: 10.31560/pimentacultural/2020.540

The world universities’ response to COVID-19: remote online language teaching

This collection of case studies is special for several reasons. Firstly, because of the geographical and institutional diversity of the authors, bringing together experiences of teaching under COVID-19 restrictions in the university language classroom from 18 countries and five continents. Secondly, the publication is interesting because of the variety of case studies that testify to different strategies and emphases in dealing with pandemic-related challenges. Finally, the case studies collected strikingly demonstrate the creative responses of language teachers in a variety of contexts to meet the challenges of the pandemic crisis (Dr Sabina Schaffner).

Brazilian researchers’ activity in international publication

O estudo é baseado em coleta de dados junto a pesquisadores brasileiros com experiência em publicações de artigos acadêmicos em periódicos internacionais, e examina uma gama de práticas correntes, de acordo com a Teoria da Atividade de Engestrom. A análise dessas práticas revela que há inúmeros e sérios conflitos dentro das atividades que compõe o objeto final, a publicação. Essas informações enfatizam a necessidade de políticas institucionais que apoiem o trabalho dos pesquisadores, tanto no campo da pesquisa quanto no letramento acadêmico em português e em língua estrangeira.

Surgical Management of Intraocular Inflammation and Infection

Inflammatory and infectious diseases in the eye often present very challenging diagnostic dilemmas and are difficult to manage. Despite advances in anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory therapy, permanent structural changes can occur in the eye because of intraocular inflammation or infection. These are best managed with surgery. Modern treatment of these inflammations and infections involves novel drug therapy and retina-vitreous surgical procedures. This is the first book to review the recent surgical protocols used in the management of intraocular inflammation and infection, and covers indications, pre-procedure therapy, surgical procedure, and complications. Key Points First book to review the latest surgical intervention procedures to manage inflammation and infection of the eye Covers indications, accompanying therapy, techniques, and complications Contributing team of leading US experts

Primate Behavioral Ecology

This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular and hormonal techniques to understand how different primates behave and the significance of these insights for primate conservation. Each chapter is organized around the major research themes in the field, with Strier emphasizing the interplay between theory, observations, and conservation issues. Examples are drawn from the "classic" primate field studies as well as more recent studies on previously neglected species, illustrating the vast behavioral variation that exists across the primate order. Primate Behavioral...

Critical Perspectives on Global Literacies

This book offers critical perspectives on global literacies, connecting research, theory, and practice. An emerging concept in the literacy field, many scholars agree on the need for students to develop global literacies, yet few agree on a widely accepted definition. Based on a synthesis of the literature, the editors formulate a definition of global literacies with four dimensions, including: literacy as a human right in all nations around the world; critical reading and creation of multimodal texts about global issues; intercultural communication and reciprocal collaboration with globally diverse others; and transformative action for social and environmental justice that traverses borders...
