Este libro es el producto y la propuesta del quehacer intelectual, de la discusión y la investigación académica, de la preocupación pastoral y educativa de quienes conforman la red académica IUS Education Group de las Instituciones Universitarias Salesianas (IUS EG). Recoge las memorias del VI Seminario del IUS EG, que se llevó a cabo en la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, sede Quito, del 26 al 28 de abril de 2022. El Seminario —así como su memoria— responde a tres ejes temáticos: “Desafíos educativo-pastorales de la educación superior salesiana en contextos de crisis”, “Formas y espacios para la participación juvenil” e “Innovaciones educativas para la educación superior en contextos de frontera”. Conferencias magistrales, trabajos de investigación y relatos de experiencia que se presentaron en los paneles y mesas temáticas, conforman esta memoria. Los enfoques innovadores, enmarcados en el modelo educativo y el carisma salesiano, constituyen una respuesta a los desafíos de la educación superior salesiana en contextos de crisis y abren la discusión para futuras investigaciones del colectivo académico.
Repensando pedagogías y prácticas interculturales en las Américas es el resultado de un ejercicio de reflexión y documentación de proyectos de investigación y programas de formación en educación superior que se han desarrollado con estudiantes indígenas y afrodescendientes, desde una lectura crítica de las políticas de educación intercultural bilingüe (EIB) en Centro y Sur América. Se busca poner en debate múltiples procesos educativos, políticos y epistémicos que, desde finales del siglo XX y bajo el impulso de lo que conocemos como EIB, se han desarrollado con la participación de actores diversos: docentes, académicos, activistas, comuneros, estudiantes, agencias gubernamentales y no gubernamentales. Esta apuesta surge del diálogo entre docentes y estudiantes que trabajamos en tema de la formación de docentes indígenas y profesionales indígenas para el campo educativo, en instituciones con larga data en estos procesos como la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (UPS) de Ecuador y la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPN) en México.
Esta publicación responde a la coyuntura de uno de los momentos más difíciles para la educación, la pandemia que azota al mundo desde 2020. Estructurado en dos partes, los autores de este texto reflexionan sobre la filosofía de la educación ante la crisis, el acto educativo, la concienciación y el compromiso para la transformación personal y ciudadana, la educación en familia, la población indígena y las dificultades de acceso a la educación virtual. Reflexiones sobre la importancia de la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la didáctica de las ciencias sociales o el uso del aula invertida en las clases de matemáticas forman parte de las propuestas de quienes participan en esta compilación de artículos. Las dificultades del modelo educativo son oportunidades para pensar en el futuro de la educación y la formación docente.

A century after the first wave of Hispanic settlement in Houston, the city has come to be known as the "Hispanic mecca of Texas." Arnoldo De León's classic study of Hispanic Houston, now updated to cover recent developments and encompass a decade of additional scholarship, showcases the urban experience for Sunbelt Mexican Americans. De León focuses on the development of the barrios in Texas' largest city from the 1920s to the present. Following the generational model, he explores issues of acculturation and identity formation across political and social eras. This contribution to community studies, urban history, and ethnic studies was originally published in 1989 by the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Houston. With the Center's cooperation, it is now available again for a new generation of scholars.

* Mexico was named an Outstanding Academic Title of 2010 by Choice Magazine. Bloodshed connected with Mexican drug cartels, how they emerged, and their impact on the United States is the subject of this frightening book. Savage narcotics-related decapitations, castrations, and other murders have destroyed tourism in many Mexican communities and such savagery is now cascading across the border into the United States. Grayson explores how this spiral of violence emerged in Mexico, its impact on the country and its northern neighbor, and the prospects for managing it. Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruled in Tammany Hall fashion for seventy-nine years before losing the presiden...
Stingless bees (Meliponini) are the largest and most diverse group of social bees, yet their largely tropical distribution means that they are less studied than their relatives, the bumble bees and honey bees. Stingless bees produce honey and collect pollen from tens of thousands of tropical plant species and, in the process, provide critical pollination services in the tropics. Like many other insects, they are struggling with new human-made challenges like habitat destruction, climate change and new diseases. This book provides an overview of stingless bee biology, with chapters on the evolutionary history, nesting biology, colony organisation and division of labour of stingless bees. In addition, it explores their defence strategies, foraging ecology, and varied communication methods. Accordingly, the book offers an accessible introduction and reference guide for students, researchers and laypeople interested in the biology of bees.
