Después de la catástrofe provocada por la Primera Guerra Mundial, Europa emprendió un proceso de reconstrucción en el que las ciudades tuvieron un papel crucial como referentes intelectuales, culturales y sociales. En esta compleja trayectoria, la educación tomó la responsabilidad de forjar una conciencia continental con el fin de afianzar la democracia parlamentaria y conformar una comunidad de convivencia pacífica que cristalizó en la Unión Europea. Trieste, Viena, Ginebra, Birmingham, Moscú, San Petersburgo, París, Barcelona y Berlín, entre otras, abanderaron esta transformación y se convirtieron así en ciudades clave. La presente obra analiza en profundidad la particular cartografía pedagógica que dibujaron estas capitales y los discursos educativos que hicieron posible el camino hacia la configuración de la Europa actual.

This book provides a roadmap for those embarking on a career in STEM, whether in the research or industry realms. Focusing on paths taken by women, the contributors lend their stories, tips and tricks, and hardships they faced entering into fields historically dominated by men. The authors provide practical advice, highlighting soft skills that are not often taught as modules in the classroom. Topics include research collaborations, performance enhancement, the gender lens in research design and development, imposter syndrome felt by many women in science, ethics in science, scaling feminine leadership, being an influencer as a science leader, and time and resources optimization for career advancement in science from resource-poor settings. Others interested in science and its impacts on society will also find the book informative and timely. As an important part of the Organization for Women in Science in the Developing World (OWSD), University of Port Harcourt Branch Book project, the work hopes to inspire women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure the future in STEM.
What does higher education learning and teaching enable students to do and to become? Which human capabilities are valued in higher education, and how do we identify them? How might the human capability approach lead to improved student learning, as well as to accomplished and ethical university teaching?

It offers an alternative to human capital theory and emphasises the intrinsic as well as the economic value of higher learning. Based upon the human capabilit...
