Abstract

This third edition underscores that interest in the legal, social, and policy contexts of campus crime has not waned. Among the purposes of this new edition is the desire to share with readers the advancements that have occurred in understanding campus crime, especially the dynamics of college student victimization, and efforts to effectively address campus security issues. Presented in three sections, the first examines the legal context of crime by offering five chapters whose focus is on the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and its state-leve

Abstract

Né en Inde en 1934, Raj Rewal est un des architectes les plus importants d’Asie du Sud-Est. Il a construit des bâtiments parmi les plus significatifs à la fois sur le plan architectural, typologique, technique et symbolique. Son travail est unanimement reconnu sur le plan international, en particulier pour la qualité de ses quartiers d’habitation et pour ses centres de recherche dans lesquels est mené un travail à la pointe de la science, mais aussi pour l’attention que cet architecte accorde aux questions climatiques et énergétiques, sans oublier les approfondissements techniques et structurels, complétés par une attention soutenue quant au choix des matériaux et à leur mise en œuvre. Quel que soit le projet et son programme, Raj Rewal vise toujours à intégrer le riche héritage du continent indien, des monuments anciens au tissu des villes, des espaces publics au logement vernaculaire. S’appuyant sur un corpus de presque de 900 images, cet ouvrage analyse les sources et le contexte de cette réflexion, tout en illustrant et commentant les principaux projets dans lesquels cette même réflexion s’exprime (le Pavillon Nehru, le complexe de bureaux de SCOPE, l’édifice de la Banque mondiale, l’Institut national d’immunologie, la bibliothèque du Parlement indien à Delhi et le Centre ismaélite de Lisbonne.. ).

Abstract

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) bezeichnen Kurse, die online stattfinden und auf Grund fehlender Zugangsbeschränkungen und kostenfreien Zugangs sehr hohe Teilnehmerzahlen erreichen. Der erste MOOC wurde 2011 durch Sebastian Thrun, Professor für Informatik an der Stanford University, zum Thema der Künstlichen Intelligenz angeboten und hatte 160.000 Teilnehmende. In der Folge wurden MOOCs als die revolutionäre Lehr-/Lerninnovation gepriesen, immer mehr Unternehmen gründeten MOOCs-Plattformen. Seit Ende 2012 bieten auch in Deutschland erste Institutionen eigene Plattformen mit MOOCs an. Man unterscheidet im Wesentlichen zwei Varianten - xMoocs und cMOOCs: xMoocs bieten auf Video aufgezeichnete Vorlesungen, die durch Tests und Fragen unterbrochen und zu denen Aufgaben ausgeteilt werden. Sie werden ergänzt durch Foren. cMOOCs orientieren sich eher an der Form eines Seminars oder Workshops, in ihnen können die Teilnehmenden die Inhalte selbst miterarbeiten und -gestalten. Um die Potenziale, aber auch die Schwächen der MOOCs bewerten zu können, bedarf es aber einer differenzierten Betrachtung, als sie bisher stattgefunden hat. Dieser Band stellt Erfahrungsberichte und Beispiele aus deutschen Hochschulen oder mit deutscher Beteiligung vor und reflektiert das Phänomen der MOOCs unter didaktischen, historischen und bildungspolitischen Aspekten. [D]ieses Buch [ist] all jenen zu empfehlen, die dem MOOCs-Hype kritisch gegenüberstehen und sich fundiert mit diesem Phänomen auseinandersetzen wollen. - Bodo Rödel in: Berufsbildung in Wissenschaft und Praxis, 2/2014 Die außerordentlich interessante und lesenswerte Publikation ist allen an Hochschulentwicklung, Bildungspolitik sowie dem Konnex zwischen Medienkultur und Bildung Interessierten zu empfehlen. Der kulturelle Wandel in der Beschreibung und Problematisierung von Bildungsprozessen ist aus medienwissenschaftlicher Perspektive hinsichtlich mehrerer Aspekte von hoher Relevanz: zum einen haben wir es hier mit mediengestützten Szenarien zu tun, wobei die Medialität selbst gänzlich unreflektiert bleibt und die öffentliche Diskussion durch Medienvergessenheit glänzt. Darüber hinaus berührt diese Entwicklung zum anderen die Frage nach der medialen Bedingtheit heutiger Gesellschaften. - Petra Missomelius in: MEDIENwissenschaft, 2/3/2014

Abstract

Since South Africa's transition to democracy, many universities have acquired new works of art that convey messages about the advantages of cultural diversity, and engage critically with histories of racial intolerance and conflict. Given concerns about the influence of British imperialism or Afrikaner nationalism on aspects of their inherited visual culture, most tertiary institutions are also seeking new ways to manage their existing art collections, and to introduce memorials, insignia or regalia, which reflect the universities' newfound values and aspirations. In Picturing Change, Brenda Schmahmann explores the implications of deploying the visual domain in the service of transformative agendas and unpacks the complexities, contradictions and slippages involved in this process. She shows that although most new commissions have been innovative, some universities have acquired works with potentially traditionalist - even backward-looking - implications. While the motives behind removing inherited imagery may be underpinned by a desire to unsettle white privilege, in some cases such actions can also serve to maintain the status quo. This book is unique in exploring the transformative ethos evident in the curation of visual culture at South African universities. It will be invaluable to readers interested in public art, the politics of curating and collecting, as well as to those involved in transforming tertiary and other public institutions into spaces that welcome diversity.

Abstract

Schooling in the region known as Micronesia is today a normalized, ubiquitous, and largely unexamined habit. As a result, many of its effects have also gone unnoticed and unchallenged. By interrogating the processes of normalization and governmentality that circulate and operate through schooling in the region through the deployment of Foucaultian conceptions of power, knowledge, and subjectivity, this work destabilizes conventional notions of schooling’s neutrality, self-evident benefit, and its role as the key to contemporary notions of so-called political, economic, and social development.  This work aims to disquiet the idea that school today is both rooted in some distant past and a force for decolonization and the postcolonial moment. Instead, through a genealogy of schooling, the author argues that school as it is currently practiced in the region is the product of the present, emerging from the mid-1960s shift in US policy in the islands, the very moment when the US was trying to simultaneously prepare the islands for putative self-determination while producing ever-increasing colonial relations through the practice of schooling.  The work goes on to conduct a genealogy of the various subjectivities produced through this present schooling practice, notably the student, the teacher, and the child/parent/family. It concludes by offering a counter-discourse to the normalized narrative of schooling, and suggests that what is displaced and foreclosed on by that narrative in fact holds a possible key to meaningful decolonization and self-determination.

Abstract

The anti-authoritarian revolt of the 1960s and 1970s was a watershed in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The rebellion of the so-called '68ers' - against cultural conformity and the ideological imperatives of the Cold War, against the American war in Vietnam, and in favor of a more open accounting for the crimes of the Nazi era - helped to inspire a dialogue on democratization with profound effects on German society. Timothy Scott Brown examines the unique synthesis of globalizing influences on West Germany to reveal how the presence of Third World students, imported pop culture from America and England, and the influence of new political doctrines worldwide all helped to precipitate the revolt. The book explains how the events in West Germany grew out of a new interplay of radical politics and popular culture, even as they drew on principles of direct-democracy, self-organization and self-determination, all still highly relevant in the present day.
