On the Heels of Ignorance
Psychiatry has always aimed to peer deep into the human mind, daring to cast light on its darkest corners and untangle its thorniest knots, often invoking the latest medical science in doing so. But, as Owen Whooley’s sweeping new book tells us, the history of American psychiatry is really a record of ignorance. On the Heels of Ignorance begins with psychiatry’s formal inception in the 1840s and moves through two centuries of constant struggle simply to define and redefine mental illness, to say nothing of the best way to treat it. Whooley’s book is no antipsychiatric screed, however; instead, he reveals a field that has muddled through periodic reinventions and conflicting agendas of curiosity, compassion, and professional striving. On the Heels of Ignorance draws from intellectual history and the sociology of professions to portray an ongoing human effort to make sense of complex mental phenomena using an imperfect set of tools, with sometimes tragic results.
Hybrid environments for universities
This publication is the result of an international and interdisciplinary expert meeting at Technische Universität Berlin, in March 2020. The aim of the expert meeting was to collaboratively write and publish a book, within five days, on the central question: Which organizational structures and processes at universities support a strategic as well as innovative campus development? As experts with an interdisciplinary background including the social sciences, public real estate, urban planning, architecture and landscape architecture, we could examine the question from a holistic perspective and gain new insights.

It addresses all decision makers – executives, practitioners and contributors alike – as all of us face the challenge of limited resources and needing to do more with less.
Organisation und Management von Studium, Lehre und Weiterbildung an Hochschulen

Zunächst waren es die Bologna-Reformen, die weitreichende und in der öffentlichen Diskussion nicht unumstrittene Neuerungen an die Hochschulen brachten. Damit einher ging die Aufforderung, sich stärker den Anforderungen des lebenslangen Lernens zu stellen und mit Berufstätigen neue Zielgruppen zu erschließen. Die zunächst zögerliche Haltung der öffentlichen Hochschulen gegenüber einer Ausweitung ihrer traditionellen Angebotsstruktur gab dem privaten Hochschulsektor Auftrieb, der vor allem berufstätige Zielgruppen adressierte und damit an Einfluss gewann. Öffentliche Hochschulen konzentrierten sich i...
