Machine Art in the Twentieth Century
An investigation of artists' engagement with technical systems, tracing art historical lineages that connect works of different periods. “Machine art” is neither a movement nor a genre, but encompasses diverse ways in which artists engage with technical systems. In this book, Andreas Broeckmann examines a variety of twentieth- and early twenty-first-century artworks that articulate people's relationships with machines. In the course of his investigation, Broeckmann traces historical lineages that connect art of different periods, looking for continuities that link works from the end of the century to developments in the 1950s and 1960s and to works by avant-garde artists in the 1910s and...
Facing the Other: Novel Theories and Methods in Face Perception Research
We rely heavily on faces during social interactions. Humans possess the ability to recognise thousands of people very quickly and accurately without effort. The serious social difficulties that follow abnormalities of the face recognition system (i.e., prosopagnosia) strongly underline the importance of typical face skills in our everyday life. Over the last fifty years, research on prosopagnosia, along with research in the healthy population, has provided insights into the cognitive and neural features behind typical face recognition. This has also been achieved thanks to non-invasive neuroimaging techniques such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Electroencephalography (EEG),...
Honors Education and the Foundation of Fairness
How can we support, develop and maintain higher education programs that focus on high academic achievement, while at the same time allowing equitable access to, and progress in, higher learning? This volume focuses not only on a diverse population in higher education, but on creating and supporting a population fundamentally created in, and informed by, fairness. The nature of fairness, and its many dimensions, underpins the discussions here. By focusing on equity, the contributors to this book shine light on conditions and instances of inequity. They explore questions of enrollment in honors programs, and about advising honors students. They discuss people with disabilities in honors programs and colleges, and the general existence or non-existence of civility. They advocate for supporting a wide range of identities and goals, collaboration, and types and styles of pedagogy.. This book considers the role of honors education in enhancing the educational opportunities for all, and presents a call to action to those who seek to do that.

PaLea: Professionelle Kompetenzen und Studienstrukturen im Lehramtsstudium
Professionelle Kompetenzen von Lehrkräften gelten als zentrale Voraussetzungen für Unterrichtsqualität und Lernerfolg von Schülerinnen und Schülern. Zur professionellen Kompetenz gehören neben Wissen motivationale und selbstregulative Aspekte sowie Überzeugungen der Lehrkräfte über Lernen, guten Unterricht und Lernziele. Aber wie entwickeln sich diese Kompetenzen und welche Rolle spielen dabei die Studienstrukturen und die individuellen Merkmale, z. B. Persönlichkeitsmerkmale der Studierenden? Das Panel zum Lehramtsstudium (PaLea) geht der Frage nach der Entwicklung professioneller Kompetenzen in der ersten und zweiten Phase der Lehramtsbildung nach. Der breite und längsschnittlich angelegte Zugang von PaLea wird in den Beiträgen des Bandes deutlich: Es werden Voraussetzungen der Studierenden, Bedingungen von Studienerfolg vs. -abbruch und eines (erfolgreichen) Übergangs in den Beruf sowie Veränderungen zentraler Kompetenzen durch das Studium und Effekte von Studienstrukturen und Praxisphasen auf das Erleben von Belastungen oder Zufriedenheit betrachtet.
