In Bosnia and Herzegovina, research publications of this kind are rare, that is why this study, particularly its quality, extensiveness and comprehensiveness in analyzing the observed problem, does not only fill the void in the field of scientific studies, but was published both in the local and in English language, thus attracting the attention of researchers in this field to the methodology, instruments and key findings of this study and perhaps inspire them to conduct similar researches. The authors have managed to explore and prove that UWC Mostar, compared to other schools, manages to develop intercultural education, practice the environment culturally sensitive pedagogy, offer students best education that will prepare them for their studies and enrich them with life skills and finally, help them navigate in new cultures with people of different cultural experiences and traditions. The study describes exceptional voluntarism of the school community, which is a generally underdeveloped and unknown concept in local communities and school curricula. This is an exceptionally valuable study, as it presents findings that describe UWC Mostar's unique role and engagement as a multicultural educational institution in a city that, despite all the positive elements recognized by individuals and institutions, still mostly fails to get to know UWC Mostar better, accept its real values and provide for an environment where these values could be applied to local schools and institutions working with young people and enable UWC Mostar achieve a wider and more complete community impact.

Bringing together the sociology of knowledge, cultural studies, and post-foundational and historical approaches, this book asks what schooling does, and what are its limits and dangers. The focus is on how the systems of reason that govern schooling embody historically generated rules and standards about what is talked about, thought, and acted on; about the "nature" of children; about the practices and paradoxes of educational reform. These systems of reason are examined to consider issues of power, the political, and social exclusion. The transnational perspectives interrelate historical and ethnographic studies of the modern school to explore how curriculum is translated through social and cognitive psychologies that make up the subjects of schooling, and how educational sciences "act" to order and divide what is deemed possible to think and do. The central argument is that taken-for-granted notions of educational change and research paradoxically produce differences that simultaneously include and exclude.

Marilyn Strathern is among the most creative and celebrated contemporary anthropologists, and her work draws interest from across the humanities and social sciences. Redescribing Relations brings some of Strathern’s most committed and renowned readers into conversation in her honour – especially on themes she has rarely engaged. The volume not only deepens our understanding of Strathern’s work, it also offers models of how to extend her relational insights to new terrains. With a comprehensive introduction, a complete list of Strathern's publications and a historic interview published in English for the first time, this is an invaluable resource for Strathern’s old and new interlocutors alike.
