Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Becoming an academic can be an overwhelming, if not a completely consuming, experience, and conceptualising this process is often fraught with a lack of understanding of both the process and the subsequent implications. Many academics struggle with the notion of who they are, despite believin…g that they are aware of who they want to be and where they are situated on their academic journey. This edited collection draws on the experiences of early and mid-career academics, as well as leaders in the field, to explore the role and contribution of the self when professionally undertaking research. Each chapter addresses valuable questions for academics to examine and articulate the self in one's work, and encourages the probing of the impact of academic engagement in higher education on individual fidelity to personal and professional values, beliefs and assumptions. With a focus on self-methodologies, including arts-based approaches to reflective and reflexive practice, the authors showcase methods that go beyond traditional reflective practice and explore the interplay of arts and self-practices. Conceptualising the Academic Self offers transformative educational insights with both theoretical and practical applications. It serves as a comprehensive guide for novice academics to seasoned educators and researchers, as well as institutional leaders and policy influencers, addressing the challenges of self-conceptualisation and self-formation.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Possibility and Statistics' (P.S.) is a rigorously ethical, mixed-method way of knowing that centers lived experience, assets, and human agency; treats oral narratives as primary data; and designs measures, tools, and dissemination practices to cultivate flourishing rather than manage risk.…Ivory A. Toldson's Possibility and Statistics is more than a book about statistical methods; it is a profound and necessary intervention into the soul of education and social science. It is a methodological treatise and a deeply personal work of literary scholarship that redefines the purpose of data in a world saturated with it. By developing a new statistical language, Toldson demonstrates that the principles of possibility--care, context, and potential--can be as analytically rigorous as the principles of probability. Possibility and Statistics introduces a new analytical toolkit; formula-driven methods designed to quantify hope. Metrics like the Overcoming Adversity Index (OAI), which measures success relative to context; the Potential Realization Quotient (PRQ), which quantifies achievement beyond statistical expectations; and the Resource Parity Index (RPI), which measures inequities in resources, give practitioners tangible tools. Toldson crafts a powerful argument that the tools of statistics, so often used to document despair and predict failure, must be re-engineered to architect hope and cultivate human potential. The result is a work that is at once a rigorous academic text and a moral call to arms for researchers, educators, policymakers, and anyone who wields data that touches human lives.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - People around the world face grave crises of wars, climate change, genocides, rising sea levels, human rights violations, and inequitable distribution of natural resources. These problems are transcontinental, interconnected, and create immense human suffering, which require collective efforts towar…d just and sustainable global solutions. The United Nations resolved to address these concerns in adopting the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. These goals form a 'plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity,' which 'seeks to strengthen universal peace in greater freedom' (United Nations, 2015, para. 1). The social sciences are uniquely positioned to address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by offering content and tools to pursue just and sustainable societies. The knowledge, skills, and values of social science education can empower global citizens to seek truth, to deliberate on the current problems, and to shape a just and equitable future for people and for our planet. In this volume, authors from around the world a) propose critical philosophical questions, b) describe current education problems, and c) explore educational possibilities for a just and sustainable world.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Understanding Context in Leadership invites readers to explore the often-overlooked element of leadership: the context in which it occurs. This accessible and thought-provoking text introduces students and new leadership learners to the essential practice of analyzing context as part of the leadersh…ip process. By examining the dynamic interplay between leaders, followers, and their environments, readers will learn how to observe, interpret, and respond to the many forces that shape leadership outcomes. At the heart of the book is the SHAPE framework, a powerful tool for breaking down context into five key dimensions: Social, Historical, Attitudinal, Personal and Environmental. Each chapter explores one SHAPE dimension through four lenses--self, organizational/team, institutional, and societal--offering a layered understanding of how context influences leadership at every level. Readers will gain practical strategies for observing and analyzing context, along with reflective prompts and tips to apply these insights in real-world settings. Whether you're a student beginning your leadership journey or an educator guiding others, Understanding Context in Leadership provides the tools to lead with greater awareness, adaptability, and impact.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Decolonial Epistemologies in Comparative and International Education: Anticipating the Cultural Turn examines the current state of the field of comparative and international education (CIE) by addressing colonial and Eurocentric structures and advancing a decolonial approach. The chapters integrate…frameworks from indigenous epistemologies, racial capitalism, and pluriverse thinking to question and reimagine existing paradigms in CIE. This edited volume interrogates the level of coloniality and racial capitalism present in modern analyses of CIE. As such, the chapter authors unpack questions such as: Is CIE as a field too white Are its theories and methodologies still too Eurocentric How do we treat others as we study them How do we accommodate differences, and how is inclusion dealt with How might new epistemologies, ontologies, and axiologies help us decolonize the field Decolonial Epistemologies in Comparative and International Education: Anticipating the Cultural Turn is valuable for academics in CIE and related fields, practitioners interested in decoloniality in education, administrators and policymakers in higher education, and graduate students in CIE, higher education, and educational leadership. It offers insights into current discussions on decoloniality and education, helping these groups understand and navigate the complexities of these themes in educational contexts.
