Prospects of Change in Higher Education
This anthology offers comprehensive insight into topical issues of change in international higher education. Confronted with the challenge of increasing quality and relevance, the individual articles deal with aspects of teaching and learning, curriculum development, organization, and research in the university context. Many of them refer to concrete projects implemented in universities of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. They were developed in the University Staff Development Programme and run by the Institute for Socio-cultural Studies, University of Kassel (Germany). The anthology is dedicated to Matthias Wesseler, an active pioneer in change processes in international higher education. T...
Internationalität als Herausforderung und Chance
Von international ausgerichteten Studiengängen erwarten die Hochschulen eine sichtbaren Beitrag zu ihrer Internationalisierung: eine Erhöhung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Stärkung der internationalen Reputation, die Gewinnung qualifizierter Studierender bis zur Unterstützung internationaler Kompetenzen und interkulturellem Lernen und ‚Internationalisation at Home‘. Ebenso sind kontroverse Perspektiven zu Chancen, Mehrwerten, Problemen und Herausforderungen internationaler Studiengänge zu beobachten. Wahrnehmungen von Studiengangsleiter_innen, Lehrenden und Studiengangskoordinator_innen in internationalen Studiengängen werden aus dem Blickwinkel des Diversity Managements betrachtet, um zu untersuchen, welche Mehrwerte internationale Studiengängen bieten (können) und welche Rahmenbedingungen Studium und Lehre in internationalen Studiengängen unterstützen oder erschweren. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf kultureller Diversität: Wie kann kulturelle Diversität in internationalen Studiengängen zum Vorteil genutzt werden? Die empirische Untersuchung erfolgt am Beispiel von international ausgerichteten, englischsprachigen Masterstudiengängen der Agrarwissenschaften.
Language, Feeling, and the Brain
Linguistic theory since the Cognitive Revolution has fol- lowed one of the premises of that revolution by largely sidelining the issue of emotions and concentrating on those aspects of language that are more strictly cognitive. However, during the last ten years research in cognitive science, especially in neuropsychology, has begun to fill in the gaps left by the exclusion of emotions from cognitive research. The work of those like Oatley, Zajonc, Damasio, and LeDoux, to name a few, has demonstrated both that it is possible to construct models of how emotions play into the workings of the psyche and that they are necessary in giving us a balanced view of the human mind. Language, Feeling, a...
A Voyage in Consciousness
A Voyage in Consciousness is an adventure in self-exploration, revealing a path to peace that emerges from the simple act of attending to one's own ordinary experience. All human beings are adventurers. We are all exploring what it is to be and know, to live and die, to sleep and awaken. Each of us has his or her own path to follow. Every one of us is destined to realize a peculiar enlightenment and make his or her unique contribution to the brilliance of creation. Within the spectrum of human experience great treasures wait to be discovered. The work of only a few explorers is not enough to unearth them. These treasures are vast, but undiscoverable without the deepest appreciation of our jo...
