Studies in the Arts II - Künste, Design und Wissenschaft im Austausch
Das Nachbauen mittelalterlicher Instrumente dank Bildquellen und musiktheoretischer Traktate oder das »Einpflanzen« von Alltagsgegenständen in Landschaften, um so das Begriffspaar Natur-Kultur neu zu verhandeln - diese Beispiele zeigen, wie Kunst als Mittel zur Erkenntnisgewinnung die Wissenschaft bereichert. Die Beiträger*innen experimentieren mit der Verbindung von Kunst und Wissenschaft und richten besonderes Augenmerk auf die noch junge Disziplin der Designforschung sowie deren gesellschaftliches Engagement. Dabei illustrieren sie nicht nur die Bandbreite der Forschung in und mit den Künsten, sondern stellen auch Verbindungen zur Grundlagen-, anwendungsorientierten und aktivistischen Forschung her.

Collective Consciousness and Gender
This book explores collective consciousness and how it is applied to the pursuit of gender justice in international law. It discusses how the collective mode of behaviour and identity can lead to unconscious role-playing based on the social norms, expectations or archetypes of a group. Alexandra Walker contends that throughout history, men have been constructed as archetypal dominators and women as victims. In casting women in this way, we have downplayed their pre-existing, innate capacities for strength, leadership and power. In casting men as archetypal dominators, we have downplayed their capacities for nurturing, care and empathy. The author investigates the widespread implications of this unconscious role-playing, arguing that even in countries in which women have many of the same legal rights as men, gender justice and equality have been too simplistically framed as ‘feminism’ and ‘women’s rights’ and that giving women the rights of men has not created gender balance. This book highlights the masculine and feminine traits belonging to all individuals and calls on international law to reflect this gender continuum.
International Perspectives on School Settings, Education Policy and Digital Strategies
An exchange on education ideas has shaped the transatlantic discourse in education for a long time. Over the past two decades education science has increasingly become networked internationally. Since 2015, the Office for International Cooperation in Education at DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education has organized international sessions on education research at the Annual Meetings of the American Educational Research Association, thus providing a floor for transatlantic exchange on current research topics. The volume gives an overview of the transatlantic activities in education research with regard to these sessions representing a collection of topics ranging from school development over the use of large scale assessment and digital data in education to questions related to migration and public education or the economization of education. At the same time the volume offers a reflection on the assets and obstacles of international exchange.
Healing Architecture
How can architecture contribute to healing and recovery? And how do our surroundings - both built and unbuilt - influence our prospects of staying healthy?. This title addresses the development and design of spaces for hospitals and other healthcare institutions, how they are perceived, and their overall impact on combating illnesses. This volume presents in detail the principles of this field of study and all the major issues involved, using a range of international projects as illustrative examples. In order to present a comprehensively interdisciplinary analysis of the subject matter, architects, medical practitioners, economists, artists, urban planners and communication scientists discuss the various aspects of 'Healing Architecture'. This book thus makes an important contribution to achieving an architecture that is attuned to people's needs and helps to promote the recovery process.
