Dialogues
Written over the course of the last four years, a lot of (ex)es obviously had to be added to this comparative study of contemporary Soviet and American women writers. In each of the volume's major sections two stories, one by a contemporary (then)Soviet woman and one by a contemporary American woman, become the focus of two interpretive essays, one.

L'enseignement du Bauhaus a trouvé son expression la plus poignante dans le destin d'une de ses étudiantes, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, qui appliqua ses méthodes et son esprit dans l'enceinte même du camp de Terezin. " Talent rare, aux multiples facettes, une énergie indestructible ", a pu dire d'elle Walter Gropius : Friedl était une artiste prolifique, une femme engagée qui s'essaya à toutes les disciplines et pour laquelle art et pédagogie allèrent toujours de pair. Cet ouvrage comporte une biographie illustrée et de nombreux témoignages de survivants. Il retrace pour la première fois tout le parcours artistique de Friedl, des années de formation jusqu'à sa période tchèque et à son activité à Terezin. Il présente plus d'une centaine d'œuvres et d'objets ainsi que des dessins d'enfants de Terezin conservés au Musée juif de Prague. Friedl Dicker-Brandeis meurt assassinée à Auschwitz le 9 octobre 1944.
Acculturation and School Adjustment of Minority Students
This book discusses the trajectories of minority students’ acculturation in terms of school and family-related characteristics that are influential for school adjustment of minority youths. The process that ethnic minority youth undergo while adjusting to the mainstream culture is known as acculturation. Acculturation outcomes in the school context can be measured in terms of students’ psychological well-being and their academic performance. For minority youth, family and school are the two main contexts of acculturation. The aim of the book is to provide multifaceted insights into the challenges that minority students, as well as their parents and teachers, encounter during the acculturation process, and to illustrate the interplay between school and family related factors of minority youths’ school adjustment. Research teams from Germany, Hungary, Israel, Russia, Switzerland, and USA report findings from empirical studies on acculturation and school adjustment of minority students in schools of their respective countries. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Intercultural Education.

Migrant World Making
For most migrants, developing communication strategies in host countries is vital for finding social connections, navigating the pressures of assimilation, and maintaining links to their original cultures. Migrant World Making explores this process of constructing a homeplace by creating a network of communication tools and strategies to connect with multiple communities. Since what it means to be a migrant differs from person to person, the contributors to this edited collection showcase numerous practices migrants adopt to communicate and connect with others as they forge their own identities in globalized yet highly nationalistic societies. With varying aspirations and motives for seeking new homes, migrants build communities by telling stories, engaging in social media activism, protesting, writing scholarly criticism, and using many other modes of communication. To match this variety, the transnational scholars represented here use a wide array of rhetorical, cultural, and communication methodologies and epistemologies to describe what the experience of migration means to those who have lived it.
Psychology of Gender Through the Lens of Culture
This unique collection brings a rarely-seen indigenous and global perspective to the study of gender and psychology. Within these chapters, researchers who live and work in the countries and cultures they study examine gender-based norms, values, expression, and relations across diverse Western and non-Western societies. Familiar as well as less-covered locations and topics are analyzed, including China, New Zealand, Israel, Turkey, Central America, the experience of refugees, and gendered health inequities across Africa such as in the treatment of persons with HIV. Included, too, are examples of culturally appropriate interventions to address disparities, and data on the extent to which the...
Origins: A Sustainable Concept in Education
Although we live in an era of multiple identities and belongings, origins still seem to matter. For most people origins are obvious and transparent. We all come from somewhere. Yet talking about one’s origins can be highly sensitive and problematic depending on our roles, emotions, interlocutors and contexts. This volume problematizes the relativity, instability and politics of the concept in the field of education. The authors examine how origins are played upon in many and varied educational contexts and propose alternative ways of dealing with – see reinventing – origins. This volume is original in several senses. It is one of the first books to deal directly and honestly with the thorny concept of origins in education. Balancing arguments for and against the advantages and drawbacks of origins, the volume will appeal to confirmed and novice researchers, practitioners and decision-makers who struggle with these elements. The volume is not a ‘recipe book’ to be followed as such. It offers fresh and sincere perspectives to current discussions on multiculturalism, intersectionality and social justice in education around the world by tackling a somewhat taboo subject.
