Teachers' Research in Language Education
Over the past decade, interest in language teacher education and professionalization programs has increased significantly mainly due to global educational reforms, which have been driven by internationalization, multilingualism, the rise of new literacy and the incorporation of technologies. These reforms, based on the challenges of knowledge societies and networks, have created the need to re-evaluate and reconceptualize teacher training and teacher professional development as a "fundamental connection to teaching" (Bryant et al., 2008; Vélaz de Medrano & Vaillant, 2009; Espinosa, 2012; Johnson and Golombeck, 2018). The main objective is, then, to “prepare the new generations within an i...

El norte entre algodones
Esta obra propone que a partir de 1930 el algodón hizo una gran contribución al poblamiento del norte mexicano, favoreció la formación de mercados de trabajo y de tierras, propició la movilidad social, impulsó la urbanización y dio lugar a un optimismo desbordado entre las oligarquías norteñas. También da cuenta de que el episodio algodonero, mayoritariamente norteño, obedeció sobre todo a la conexión con el mercado mundial.

Community Organizing for Urban School Reform
Observers of all political persuasions agree that our urban schools are in a state of crisis. Yet most efforts at school reform treat schools as isolated institutions, disconnected from the communities in which they are embedded and insulated from the political realities which surround them. Community Organizing for Urban School Reform tells the story of a radically different approach to educational change. Using a case study approach, Dennis Shirley describes how working-class parents, public school teachers, clergy, social workers, business partners, and a host of other engaged citizens have worked to improve education in inner-city schools. Their combined efforts are linked through the community organizations of the Industrial Areas Foundation, which have developed a network of over seventy "Alliance Schools" in poor and working-class neighborhoods throughout Texas. This deeply democratic struggle for school reform contains important lessons for all of the nation's urban areas. It provides a striking point of contrast to orthodox models of change and places the political empowerment of low-income parents at the heart of genuine school improvement and civic renewal.
Pirotecnia
Ensayo miedoso de literatura ultraísta es el único libro que Hilda Mundy (1912, Oruro – La Paz, 1982), periodista y escritora vanguardista, rebelde y feminista, publicó en vida. Fue una de las pocas escritoras de vanguardias de América Latina, junto con Magda Portal (Perú) y María Luisa Bombal (Chile). Edmundo Paz Soldán nos muestra en su prólogo cómo este libro fue olvidado hasta que se rescató el año 2004 en una edición boliviana, en donde “…sus sesenta textos en prosa tratan de atrapar el ruido de la urbe en el nuevo siglo, producto de transformaciones tecnológicas, y los cambios de sensibilidad y de conducta de una modernidad incipiente en algunas ciudades en el occidente del país, entre los que se cuentan un rechazo al contrato matrimonial y los nuevos roles a los que aspira la mujer…”.
