Cultivating a Culture of Experimentation in Higher-education Teaching and Learning
As indicated by the diversity of the authors' physical locations, COVID and emergency-remote teaching affected Higher-Education-Institutions at a nearly global scale. Authors in this issue come from European countries (Switzerland, Germany), North America (the USA) as well as the southern hemisphere (South Africa). Given the breadth of COVID-related (change) experiences, the insights presented in this issue can be relevant to many HEIs across the globe, notwithstanding their cultural and institutional specificities. In addition, and of high relevance to us, the articles collected here focus both on different positions or roles (students, faculty, management) as well as on different levels of teaching and learning in higher education. While most contributions focus on the student experience during COVID, others investigate faculty/instructors' perspectives including faculty development. Yet another group takes a more systemic, institutional point of view. It could be argued that higher-education research takes up a multi-level perspective when exploring change and the new normal.
Toward Social Economy
This reprinting of Professor Bowen's classic 1948 work inaugurates a new series “Political and Social Economy.” The series will be devoted to developing a literature reflecting a humanistic point of view in economics and economic theory. It will include reprints and commissioned new works espousing a diversity of similarly broad-gauged and frequently nontraditional points of view. Its objective—implicit in the series title—is to increase the angle of vision of economics. The purpose of Professor Bowen's Toward Social Economy, stated in the Preface to the first edition, is “to present a view of the whole economic system, and at the same time to fit that system into place as one part or aspect of the more comprehensive social fabric.” It provides a framework of a complete course in economics for the general reader as well as the student of economics. C. Addison Hickman, the coeditor of this significant new series, has contributed a Foreword reflecting on the importance and contemporary relevance of Professor Bowen's work and making a case for a broad viewpoint in the formulation of economic theory and public policy.
