Dissenters and Mavericks reinvigorates the interdisciplinary study of literature, history, and politics through an approach to reading that allows the voices heard in writing a chance to talk back, to exert pressure on the presuppositions and preferences of a wide range of readers. Offering fresh and provocative interpretations of both well-known and unfamiliar texts--from colonial writers such as Horace Walpole and Edmund Burke to twentieth-century Indian writers such as Nirad Chaudhuri, V.S. Naipaul, and Pankaj Mishra--the book proposes a controversial challenge to prevailing academic methodology in the field of postcolonial studies.
It's time to design the next iteration of higher education. There is no question that higher education faces significant challenges.

Andrea Altepost führt Theorieelemente aus der Berufswahl- und Risikoforschung zusammen und generiert ein Modell, das anhand empirischer Daten aus einer Auszubildendenbefragung in Strukturgleichungsmodellen überprüft wird.

Die Wahl einer Erstausbildung findet vor dem Hintergrund erheblicher Planungs- und Antizipationsunsicherheit diverser tangierter Kontextbereiche statt. Risikobezogene Wahrnehmungen und Handlungsorientierungen, so eine Kernthese des Buches, spielen daher eine wesentliche Rolle in der Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheit durch die Berufswahl.
