Difference and Sameness in Schools
Presenting European Anthropology of Education through eleven studies of European schools, this volume explores the constructing and handling of difference and sameness in the central institutions of schools. Based on ethnographic studies of schools in Greece, England, Norway, Italy, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Austria, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark, it illustrates how anthropological studies of schools provide a window to larger society. It thus offers insights into cultural lessons taught to children through policies, institutional structures and everyday interactions, as well as into schools’ entanglement in state projects, cultural processes, societal histories and conflicts, and hence into contemporary Europe.

Louder Than Bombs
Part memoir, part reportage, Louder Than Bombs is a story of music from the front lines. Ed Vulliamy, a decorated war correspondent and journalist, offers a testimony of his lifelong passion for music. Vulliamy’s reporting has taken him around the world to cover the Bosnian war, the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of Communism, the Iraq wars of 1991 and 2003 onward, narco violence in Mexico, and more, places where he confronted stories of violence, suffering, and injustice. Through it all, Vulliamy has turned to music not only as a reprieve but also as a means to understand and express the complicated emotions that follow. Describing the artists, songs, and concerts that most influenc...
International Handbook of Interpretation in Educational Research
This handbook focuses on the often neglected dimension of interpretation in educational research. It argues that all educational research is in some sense ‘interpretive’, and that understanding this issue belies some usual dualisms of thought and practice, such as the sharp dichotomy between ‘qualitative’ and ‘quantitative’ research. Interpretation extends from the very framing of the research task, through the sources which constitute the data, the process of their recording, representation and analysis, to the way in which the research is finally or provisionally presented. The thesis of the handbook is that interpretation cuts across the fields (both philosophically, organizat...
Komentované kazuistiky z přednemocniční neodkladné péče
Publikace zahrnuje soubor reálných kazuistik ze tří oblastí urgentních stavů vzniklých mimo nemocnici – akutní onemocnění, úrazy a vnější vlivy. Zajímavým obohacením jsou kazuistiky ze zdravotnického operačního střediska zdravotnické záchranné služby, které ukazují odlišnost práce na dispečinku, a ze situací s hromadným postižením osob. Autoři kazuistik pracují v primární péči napříč celou Českou republikou, proto jsou prezentované případy nejenom průřezem raritními případy, se kterými se lze v přednemocniční péči setkat, ale i rutinními zásahy. Každá kazuistika je doplněna komentářem, který obsah kazuistiky spojuje s doporučenými postupy jak národními, tak mezinárodními. Publikace proto získává přesah do oblasti celoživotního vzdělávání. Kniha je určena všem zdravotnickým pracovníkům primárního kontaktu, tedy zdravotnickým záchranářům, praktickým lékařů a všeobecným sestrám.
Wegbereiders
Een groot deel van de Europese Roma en Sinti leidt een marginaal bestaan. De meesten hebben zo weinig scholing dat ze weinig perspectief hebben op een betere toekomst. Zij hebben nauwelijks geprofiteerd van de verbeterde toegang tot het onderwijs voor mensen uit de lagere sociaaleconomische klassen vanaf 1950. Hoe kan het dat het in de afgelopen zeventig jaar slechts zo weinig Roma en Sinti gelukt is om door te stromen naar het hoger onderwijs? Voor Wegbereiders interviewde Anita van der Hulst meer dan vijftig Roma en Sinti in Nederland en Tsjechië. Zij vertellen openhartig over hun ervaringen, in het leven in het algemeen en in het onderwijs in het bijzonder. Nederland en Tsjechië zijn landen met een sterk verschillende naoorlogse geschiedenis. Een vergelijking tussen die twee landen maakt inzichtelijk welke drempels Roma en Sinti moeten overwinnen om kans te maken op stijging op de sociale ladder.
