Internationalization and the Academic Profession

This book makes a major contribution to the scholarship on internationalization in higher education by focusing on the perceptions and experiences of the academic profession in a comparative perspective. Drawing from data collected by the Academic Professions in the Knowledge-based Society (APIKS) project, the contributors to this volume are uniquely positioned to explore the impact and implications of internationalization on those who play the central role in the teaching and research functions of higher education: the professoriate. The core chapters address issues such as the roles of gender, discipline, and career stage in the international activities of academics in different countries,...

Tejiendo diálogos. Reflexiones contemporáneas sobre la expresión y el sentido

Expresión y sentido son conceptos abordados por múltiples perspectivas de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades en nuestra contemporaneidad, debido a su abarcabilidad y amplio alcance. Quizás sea este el motivo por el cual estos conceptos (junto con otros como, por ejemplo, "representación") hayan sido tomados de manera superficial en muchos casos en los que fueron puestos en foco. Por ello, esta publicación contribuye en esclarecer y profundizar las problemáticas del sentido y de la expresión a partir de la complejidad; lo que resulta en aportes enriquecedores en torno a todo lo que se pueda plantear sobre ellas. En principio es posible sostener que toda producción discursiva impl...

Docencia e investigación educativa con enfoque interdisciplinario

Los problemas y fenómenos del contexto educativo son complejos, por lo que estudiarlos desde una sola disciplina es limitado, cobra importancia el enfoque interdisciplinar para su abordaje. En este libro se resalta la importancia de desarrollar una visión de amplia perspectiva para desarrollar las funciones sustantivas de docencia e investigación en las instituciones de educación superior, teniendo como eje transversal un enfoque interdisciplinario. El libro incluye diferentes aportes sobre cómo desarrollar la docencia e investigación interdisciplinaria, constituyendo un referente para el profesorado, investigadores, estudiantes de licenciatura y posgrado de diferentes disciplinas y a toda la comunidad académica que se encuentra abordando o inicia determinados fenómenos en el campo educativo con una perspectiva interdisciplinar.

A global and comparative perspective is central to understanding the rapidly changing world of higher education. Tradition and Transition analyzes many of the key themes of academic change in the 21st century. It brings a unique comparative approach, citing examples from many national contexts to illustrate themes. Among the topics considered are the logic of mass higher education, globalization and inequality, the role of research universities, academic freedom, private higher education, and the academic profession and its problems. These topical chapters are accompanied by in-depth discussions of Asia and Africa.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Systems Thinking

Systems Thinking

The core belief underlying this book is that the most useful and effective models to strengthen our intelligence are system ones, developed following the logic of Systems Thinking. Such models can explore complexity, dynamics, and change, and it is the author’s view that intelligence depends on the ability to construct models of this nature. The book is designed to allow the reader not only to acquire simple information on Systems Thinking but above all to gradually learn the logic and techniques that make this way of thinking an instrument for the improvement of intelligence. In order to aid the learning and practice of the Systems Thinking discipline, the author has abandoned a rigid formal language for a more discursive style. He writes in the first person, with an ample number of citations and critical analyses, and without ever giving in to the temptation to use formal mathematics.
