Ensuring that higher education students are fully prepared for lives as global citizens is a pressing concern in the contemporary world. This book draws on insights from cosmopolitan thought to identify how people from different backgrounds can find common ground. By applying cosmopolitan insights to higher education practice, Sarah Richardson charts how students can be given the opportunity to experience a truly international education, which emphasises deep cultural exchange rather than mere transactional contact. Written in an engaging and accessible style, the author uses empirical evidence to show that simply studying alongside those different to themselves or studying overseas are inadequate in preparing students to lead the diverse societies of tomorrow. Instead, the book calls for a coherent approach to higher education that properly prepares students to lead global lives. Chapters highlight a number of key aspects of higher education practice, from curriculum to pedagogy, to educator skills to assessment, and demonstrate how these can be reconsidered to give students the opportunity to gain cosmopolitan attributes during their higher education. Cosmopolitan Learning for a Global Era will be of great interest to researchers, scholars and postgraduate students, with a particular focus on cosmopolitan thought, international education and higher education more broadly, as well as university educators and leaders across a wide range of disciplinary areas.

In this book, Sarah Levin-Richardson offers the first authoritative examination of Pompeii's purpose-built brothel, the only verifiable brothel from Greco-Roman antiquity. Taking readers on a tour of all of the structure's evidence, including the rarely seen upper floor, she illuminates the subculture housed within its walls. Here, prostitutes could flout the norms of society and proclaim themselves sexual subjects and agents, while servile clients were allowed to act as 'real men'. Prostitutes and clients also exchanged gifts, greetings, jokes, taunts, and praise. Written in a clear, engaging style, and accompanied by an ample illustration program and translations of humorous and haunting graffiti, Levin-Richardson's book will become a new touchstone for those interested in the history of women, slavery, and prostitution in the classical world.

'Sex itself' bekritiseert de invloed van het verschildenken op de genetica. Sedert het begin van de 20e eeuw tot vandaag werden conclusies en theorieën vaak aangetast door foute, bevooroordeelde uitgangspunten. Dankzij het feminisme (vooral sinds 1970) heeft de wetenschap zich echter verdiept en werd grote vooruitgang geboekt.Na een inleidend hoofdstuk over genetica en het gebruikte jargon, gaat de auteur dieper in op het concept van de geslachtschromosomen X en Y. Hun belang in het bepalen van het geslacht van een zich ontwikkelende foetus, werd lang kritiekloos aanvaard. Intussen is gebleken dat de genen die zich op het Y-chromosoom bevinden toch niet zo veel invloed hebben om een mannelijk wezen te produceren, althans toch niet zonder de “hulp” van de genen op het X-chromosoom! Later, in 2001, werd het ‘human genome’ ontdekt, wat opnieuw een wetenschappelijke stroomversnelling met zich meebracht. Gaan hier sekse-gebonden vooronderstellingen niet opnieuw tot verkeerde theorieën leiden? De auteur pleit voor een voortdurende interdisciplinaire dialoog.
