Book SynopsisA perfect guide to those wishing to understand the contemporary Jewish day school. This book takes readers inside Jewish day schools to observe what happens day to day, as well as what the schools mean to their students, families, and communities. Many different types of Jewish day schools exist, and the variations are not well understood, nor is much information available about how day schools function. Inside Jewish Day Schools proves a vital guide to understanding both these distinctions and the everyday operations of these contemporary schools. Trade Review"Inside Jewish Day Schools presents a unique perspective on Jewish education in North America and the factors that contribute to successful learning within the community and within the school. But perhaps even more significantly, as one prominent Jewish educator mentioned to me, the book, with its analysis of the nine schools, presents a series of excellent case studies that can advance and improve the state of Jewish education." * Jerusalem Post *"The book does offer useful insight into the operations of the schools studied and their different approaches to the challenges they face. Researchers and those involved in day school education will find this aspect of the study most useful." * Choice *“A black box is commonly thought of as a recording device. In other fields, the black box details the characteristics of a system’s internal workings. That’s what the reader gets from Pomson and Wertheimer. They report ‘on what happens inside Jewish day schools,’ asserting ‘every school we studied has a profound impact on the lives of people it touches.’ . . . Inside Jewish Day Schools is akin to a travelogue, the scenes, the settings, the missions, the amenities, and the challenges. Names, job descriptions, and stories are true. Style of leadership and quality of communication seems to determine success.” * Israel National News *“In Inside Jewish Day Schools: Leadership, Learning, and Community, Pomson and Wertheimer’s in-depth studies of these different schools reveal the complex set of activities at the heart of educating young people and the topography of concerns and desires informing these institutions. Their insights reveal the complexity of ‘good-enough’ Jewish education. . . . [This] book . . . exemplifies exactly the sort of rich and insightful scholarship necessary for nurturing vibrant, lived North American Judaism.” * Sources: A Journal of Jewish Ideas *“A highly enjoyable scholarly work that is also suitable for lay audiences. It provides rich and thoughtful insights into a sample of high-performing North American Jewish day schools that are making meaningful contributions to the socialization of North American Jewish youth.” * Contemporary Jewry *"Alex and Jack have opened the windows to an array of exemplary Jewish day schools, offering an inside view of how they work on good days and tough ones. A singular contribution to the knowledge base of Jewish education. Accounts go beyond the usual statistics and offer narratives of painful challenges and creative responses. Required reading for Jewish educators and for community members committed to educating future generations of Jewish leaders." -- Lee S. Shulman, Lee S. Shulman"Pomson and Wertheimer confront the challenges and successes of Jewish day schools in North America, and by using a sophisticated research methodology, have conducted a deep dive into Jewish schools today. For anyone interested in Jewish schools, Jewish education, or indeed Jewish life today, this book offers an unparalleled vantage point which should invariably stimulate lots of discussion and debate, and shine a light on some deep issues of concern." -- David Bryfman, CEO, The Jewish Education Project"Anyone seeking to understand the opportunities and challenges in Jewish day schools today will benefit from the virtual guided tour that Pomson and Wertheimer have finely curated. This behind-the-scenes analysis lends valuable perspective on the realities and enduring dilemmas of pursuing a mission and ideals in a Jewish school setting. Educators and lay leaders alike will be enriched by the particular cases of innovative and intentional leadership, learning and change management. Each voice in the book reveals a unique Jewish school culture with generalizable lessons for the field." -- Miriam Heller Stern, Vice Provost for Educational Strategy and National Director of the School of Education, HUC-JIR"Pomson and Wertheimer invite us to see these nine schools, and Jewish Day Schools everywhere, with new eyes. They combine expertise in educational research with a depth of curiosity, insight and human connection that bring the schools, and the people in them, to life. These refreshingly honest portrayals powerfully illustrate the similar and different ways that leadership, education, Judaism, community come together to shape the hearts and minds of our next generation." -- Rabbi Marc Baker, President and CEO, Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Boston, and former Head of School, Gann Academy"An invaluable guide to the contemporary Jewish day school in North America that is at once discerning and appreciative. The authors discover a great deal that is working well in the nine schools they profile, and explain why; they offer nuanced understanding of how changes in pedagogy, recruitment strategy, student support, board governance, institutional leadership and community outreach could help schools of every denominational variety to be more effective. One comes away convinced that leadership, vision and high quality learning are the keys to high achievement and that successful day schools are essential to the future of the Jewish community." -- Arnold Eisen, Chancellor Emeritus and Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary of AmericaTable of ContentsIntroductionPart I: Lower and Middle Schools1.

Book SynopsisAn edited volume reflecting on different aspects of teaching in prison and different points of view.This book seeks to address some of the major issues faced by faculty who are teaching college classes for incarcerated students. Composed of a series of case studies meant to showcase the strengths and challenges of teaching a range of different disciplines in prison, this volume brings together scholars who articulate some of the best practices for teaching their expertise inside alongside honest reflections on the reality of educational implementation in a constrained environment. The book not only provides essential guidance for faculty interested in developing their own courses to teach in prisons, but also places the work of higher education in prisons in philosophical context with regards to racial, economic, social, and gender-based issues. Rather than solely a how-to handbook, this volume also helps readers think through the trade-offs that happen when teaching inside, and about how to ensure the full integrity of college access for incarcerated students.Trade Review“In Education Behind the Wall, the authors focus on introducing the reader to key issues and processes in these dynamic institutions—higher education and prisons—and suggest more humane approaches to learning and living productively in both.” * Fulbright Chronicles *“Why teach in prison, how to teach in prison, who is taught in prison—these are the compelling questions that motivate the superb essays in Education Behind the Wall. Important at both a theoretical and practical level, this is necessary reading whether you are a veteran of prison instruction or you are only now considering the prospect of prison teaching.” -- Mary Fainsod Katzenstein, Emerita, Department of Government, Cornell University"From a resounding forward by Lee Pelton that grounds the importance of college in prison in the bonds between education and democracy, to Mneesha Gellman’s ethically nuanced and politically savvy closing argument, Gellman and her collaborators have given us a superb book that asks the tough questions about why to do this work, and it offers a host of practical answers on how to do it well." -- Daniel Karpowitz, Assistant Commissioner, MN DOC & Special Advisor to Governor Tim Walz“When you go to prison, it is rare to get a second chance. This book shows why college in prison is so important. The chapters reveal not only opportunities for higher learning, but pathways to change lives.” -- John Yang, former Emerson Prison Initiative studentTable of ContentsForewordLee PeltonIntroduction: Making the case for bringing college to prisonMneesha GellmanPART I: Why We Teach in PrisonTeaching Literature Inside: The Poet’s Report Kimberly McLarin and Wendy W.

Book SynopsisPhysically active children experience healthier growth and development. They are less likely to be overweight. They learn more effectively and manage their behavior better. Yet many classroom teachers offer little or no time for physical activity because they feel pressed for time, space, and equipment.That’s where Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity: Ideas for Enjoyable Active Learning comes in.This text provides K-5 classroom teachers and physical educators with simple, creative strategies and activities that have proven successful in schools and that are suitable for all children. The ideas are practical, accessible, and backed by research that supports the benefits of physical activity in the classroom. They are also flexible—meaning the authors present guidance and options for modifying activities, so teachers can choose what works best for their students. Most activities can be carried out in small spaces or within an existing classroom setup.Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity offers a total of 50 ready-to-use activities in four categories: Classroom physical activity breaks Physically active instruction Recess Enhanced physical education The games and activities afford schools the opportunity to emphasize physical activity throughout the day. The activities are easy to fit into the curriculum at any and all points, including before and after school. Little or no equipment is needed; for the few activities that require equipment, suggestions are provided to make simple equipment from everyday materials. In addition, most chapters offer quick tips to help teachers overcome any challenges that might come up with the activities in that section, and many chapters come with an infographic that shows or describes the benefits of the activity for the topic being discussed.Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity is organized into three parts: Part I, Classroom Physical Activity, offers ideas for integrating classroom physical activity breaks, incorporating physical activity into academic instruction, taking advantage of recess, and creating a physically active classroom. Part II, Physical Education, is written specifically for the physical education teacher. It provides simple strategies for getting students moving throughout physical education class, connecting them to physical activity resources in the school and community, and facilitating lifelong physical activity. Part III, The Physically Active School, presents more options for student physical activity, including ideas for before- and after-school programs and physically active transport to and from school. It also focuses on the importance of the physical environment, physical activity policies, physical activity practices, and social environment. The comprehensive school physical activity program is explored as a tool to organize and coordinate the physical activity opportunities presented throughout this book. This practical guide makes it easy for teachers to bring the fun of physical activity—along with its academic, social, and health benefits—to their K-5 students.Table of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisHow do we encourage meaningful growth in our schools and classrooms? With over a decade of research and development, including thousands of conversations with leaders, teachers, and students from around the world, the authors of Leadership in Education suggest that sustained and purposeful growth starts with provocation: an emotional incitement that causes reflection, a shift in thinking, and a variation in the course of action.

Book SynopsisAcross the world, universities are grappling with the colonial legacies that have shaped them. That struggle is especially vital in South Africa where the Rhodes Must Fall and Fees Must Fall movements have catalysed decolonial activism and discourse against the legacy of apartheid in higher education. This collection asks what epistemic justice might look like in teaching, learning and research across multiple academic disciplines. Each author writes from first-hand experience of teaching at the University of Cape Town, an institution that was and remains a key site of complicity with and resistance against settler colonialism, apartheid, and their ongoing oppressions. The contributors trace power relations that are embedded in various teaching and learning spaces at UCT, asking critical questions about the kinds of subjects and objects of knowledge that are produced by their disciplines. Further, they explore new ideas, texts, and intellectual and pedagogical practices that can help academics interrogate, challenge and transform the dominant power relations in the South African academy. Collectively, these chapters work to imagine new subjects of knowledge in the postcolonial university through an ethic of epistemic justice. At a time when debates on decolonisation have gained urgency in academic, civic and public spaces, this interdisciplinary collection serves as a valuable archive documenting and reflecting on a turbulent period in South African higher education. It is an important resource for academics looking to grasp debates on decoloniality both in South Africa, and in university and teaching spaces further afield. Calling for concerted and collaborative work towards greater epistemic justice across diverse disciplines, the book puts forward a new vision of the postcolonial university as one that enables excellent teaching and learning, undertaken in a spirit of critical consciousness and reciprocity.Table of Contents Introduction Epistemic Justice and the University of Cape Town: Thinking Across Disciplines – Ruchi Chaturvedi, Shari Daya and Amrita Pande Part I: Aesthetics, Politics and Languages Chapter 1 Ukuhamba Ukubona/Travelling to Know: Mobility as Counter-Curriculum Across Africa – Nomusa Makhubu Chapter 2 Publics, Politics, Place and Pedagogy in Urban Studies – Rike Sitas Chapter 3 Imagining Southern Cities: Reflections on an Interdisciplinary Pedagogical Space – Shari Daya and Rike Sitas Chapter 4 Invoking Names: Finding Black Women’s Lost Narratives in the Classroom – Athambile Masola Part II: Justice, Curriculum and the Classroom Chapter 5 Decolonising Psychology in Africa: The Curriculum as Weapon – Shose Kessi and Hal Cooper Chapter 6 The Shards Haven’t Settled: Contesting Hierarchies of (Teaching) History – Koni Benson and Kerusha Govender Chapter 7 Heavy-handed Policing: Teaching Law and Practice to LLB Students in South Africa – Jameelah Omar Part III: Contested Histories and Ethical Spaces Chapter 8 African Studies at UCT: An Interview with Lungisile Ntsebeza – Sepideh Azari Chapter 9 The African Gender Institute: A Journey of Place-making – Kealeboga Mase Ramaru Chapter 10 The Ethic of Reconciliation and a New Curriculum – Ari Sitas Afterword – Amrita Pande, Ruchi Chaturvedi, Shari Daya

Book SynopsisWhile the Student Voice agenda gathers momentum in all sectors of education in the United Kingdom so too does the degree to which 'Student Voice' comes under the critical gaze of national and international commentators who narrate its influence on policy as each successive government in the UK shapes the agenda as they see fit. The Student Voice movement continues to grow and influence discussion across all levels of education. Equally, international responses to Student Voice extend the debate and movement further. To acknowledge international and UK perspectives, the authors have developed an edited collection speaking to both the practitioner and the academic alike. The text offers diverse perspectives with contributions from internationally acclaimed researchers, academics, classroom practitioners and learners across a variety of ages and educational sectors both at local and international levels. This topical text locates Student Voice within wider current debates around empowered citizenry and the 'big society'. The contributions draw upon the relationships between Student Voice and action research, citizenship, democratic education and students-as-researchers as well as locating these debates within international perspectives. It is through the combination of these perspectives that, as the title of the book suggests, the Student Voice movement can hope to 'bridge the academic/practitioner divide'.

Book SynopsisHistorically, women of color have experienced discrimination based on the double jeopardy of race and/or ethnicity, and gender in their quest for access and advancement in higher education. Today's women of color in higher education however are the beneficiaries of courageous and committed women predecessors who confronted and disrupted institutions to attain a higher level of education (Jean-Marie, 2005). Together with Volume 10, this two-edited volume focuses on African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Asian-Pacific American women whose increased presence in senior level administrative and academic positions in higher education is transforming the political climate to be more inclusive of women of color. Topics include trends and issues, leadership styles/characteristics, tenure and promotion, mentoring/social networks, and challenges and opportunities. As a conceptual framework, the collection of chapters in the two volumes acquaints readers with a broad overview of the characteristics and experiences of women of color in higher education. The two volumes include: "Women of Color in Higher Education: Turbulent Past, Promising Future" and "Women of Color in Higher Education: Contemporary Perspectives and Changing Directions".Trade Review"Women of Color tell their courageous stories about navigating what historically has been a male-dominated academy. They bring with them cultural strengths and experiences interwoven with mainstream credentials with which to create changed environments in academe that more adequately reflect the diversity of the 21st century world. Henrietta Mann, Ph.D., Founding President, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College. Professor Emeritus in Native American Studies, Montana State University" "Women of Color in Higher Education, in two volumes, provides a comprehensive and rich analysis of the progress and problems associated with participation of women in colleges and universities. With topics ranging from women in collegiate athletics to STEM, from African American, Latina to Asian and Native American women, from new leaders in colleges and universities to seasoned professionals, these volumes are just as critical for administrators and faculty as they are for women who aspire to a successful career in higher education.

Book SynopsisHow is the public mission of universities to change in the face of today’s global challenges? How is the 21st Century university to balance its long-standing traditions and its commitment to teaching, research and commercialization with rapidly changing social needs and conditions worldwide? And how does the newly defined public role of the university reflect on changes to non-profit organizations in general? Amalya Oliver-Lumerman and Gili S. Drori offer a new model of academic commitment and leadership in response to questions about the new public role of the university.Combining historical and sociological analysis with examples and proposals for academic commitment and leadership, the book reconsiders the social impact of universities and, by extension, public organizations. It offers detailed examples for Academic Leadership and Responsibility (ACL) programs and related projects, contributing to higher education policy-making and discussions around university governance. In exploring the changing public mission of universities, the book also highlights models of social responsibility and leadership that are appropriate for universities, and discusses the translation of CSR to a non-profit public organization.This will be an invigorating read for higher education and organization studies scholars, as it engages with current debates about the future of university models and public sector organisational forms.Trade Review’This stimulating volume positions social engagement as the fourth mission of the university and calls for a “bottom-up” approach to responsibility for the public good. Arguing for a new model of engagement based on academic commitment and leadership, this book makes an enormous contribution to our understanding of social responsibility, both for academics and academic institutions.’ -- - Glen A. Jones, University of Toronto, Canada’This book is a valuable and timely contribution of two eminent scholars of organizations and their interface with society to the debates and concerns about the evolving role of universities in modern society. The authors produced a comprehensive analysis of this development with thought provoking assessment of future directions. Highly recommended.’ -- - Hanoch Gutfreund, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel’The effects of social interests on the university are often criticized -- the impact of the university on society less so (though populists try). The authors impressively celebrate university effects in creating immediate social change, with striking concrete examples. They see the university as leading, not only following, modern social patterns.’ -- - John W. Meyer, Stanford University, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisLeadership and Cooperation in Academia focuses on the place and the role of universities in different societies, including their influence on the socio-economic development of those societies.Across the world academic institutions are being questioned by their stakeholders and pressured to change. Answering these questions requires that academics and professional managers in universities think about their work, its value and organisation. The book highlights the need for space and stimulus to reflect on the responsibilities, roles and expectations that they identify for themselves, and that others place upon them - then, they might be better able to understand and to act. Similarly, policymakers and higher education commentators need the space and stimulus to reflect on the role of universities. This book will provide this space and an invaluable contribution to the stimulus.This innovative volume will be enriching to academics and professional managers who are interested in leading, managing and contributing in an academic environment. Policymakers and higher education commentators concerned with the development and impacts of universities will also find plenty of insightful information in this timely study.Contributors: M.J.

Book SynopsisThe next decade will be transformative for the higher education sector. Government funding is decreasing. Through their marketing activities universities have created the 'student consumer.' The student consumer is prepared to shop around, compare prices and value, and once purchased expects a return on their investment. Disruptive innovations are challenging traditional forms of learning and in many cases are viewed as better alternatives to traditional learning in the classroom. Competition from private educational providers is increasing. Their cost base is lower, and their customer focus is superior. In short, universities around the world are facing a perfect storm. While experts don't expect the higher education sector to collapse under these challenges, they do believe that for some institutions the future looks bleak. If universities are to avoid closures or mergers, they will need to adopt a market-oriented approach. This timely book urges readers to view students as customers and focuses on how universities need to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant. Striking a difference between market-oriented and marketing, the authors provide various examples of institutions around the world that are making efforts to reposition themselves. Additionally, this book delves into the issue of undervalued faculty, arguing that education practices are in desperate need of being reimagined due to the abundance of MOOCs and adaptive and experiential learning practices within universities these days. Both university and academic leaders alike, including presidents, provosts, deans, and faculty will find value in the instructional aspects of this book as they relate to their involvement with institutional advancement agendas as well as providing insight into the changing nature of higher education and the evolving definition of what an academic career now entails.Trade ReviewThe Market Oriented University provides a truly insightful look into the agents of change across the university systems. By offering a refreshing interpretation from a market-oriented view, John Davis and Mark Farrell make a compelling case for the reader to reassess the fundamental purpose of universities. This book is a must-read for all stakeholders of the educational system - administrators, faculty, students, parents, tax-payers, and policy-makers alike.' --Jin K. Han, Singapore Management University, Singapore'Most universities around the world are substantial enterprises involved in stiff competition for students, staff and resources. The leaders of universities are not in charge of quiet, cloistered ivory towers separated from the larger world. To the contrary, they are major participants in the economics and culture of their regions, and, often, in a number of international undertakings. Professors Davis and Farrell argue that university leaders should recognize these realities and then provide roadmaps for confronting marketplace realities successfully. This is not another book that says ''universities should be run like businesses.'' The authors are experienced enough to understand that the long term purposes of universities are different from those of a typical for profit corporation. But they recognize that universities can, and should, adopt behaviours that will maximize their abilities to compete successfully to attract students, to recruit and retain competent faculty and support staff, and to obtain financial support from both public and private sources. Being oriented to the ''market'' is simple common sense. The outline of issues and possible responses to those issues should be required reading anyone with leadership responsibilities within a modern university.' --Howard Hunter, Singapore Management University'This volume provides the reader with a clear and careful analysis of how universities may become market-oriented, as opposed to being marketing-oriented. More than writing either a simple history of university behaviors or a 'to do' list - whilst addressing both issues - Davis and Farrell offer a fascinating and persuasive reflection on how universities and their markets have been evolving into the 21st century world of increasingly vigorous competition, rapidly changing technology, and dwindling government financial support. The book draws on the authors' deep understanding and knowledge of the tertiary sector and marketing strategy, making its reading vital for all university managers and academics.' --Christopher Adam, UNSW AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book Synopsis'This book sets out an ambitious but achievable alternative to the managerialism that dominates current approaches to leadership and management in higher education. The multiple perspectives model provides a holistic and empirically grounded framework for exploring contrasting values, identities, emotions, goals and expectations, and for provoking generative conversations that will inspire and engage the next generation of academic leaders.'- Richard Bolden, University of the West of England, UKManaging Academics offers contrasting perspectives of managing others in order to provoke alternative interpretations of academic work, identity, working relationships and scholarship outcomes in higher education institutions (HEIs). The author leverages a novel analytical-empirical approach to challenge the notion that managing others is a unitary, values-free process. This approach raises awareness of managing as a social process in which personal values and identity questions are treated as issues of importance to the manager and managed. Studies of academic values such as identity, professionalism and quality of worklife are integrated with authority, commitment and client-community service concepts developed within the disciplines of psychology and management in a multiple perspectives model. To enable different types of academic work to be valued and enacted simultaneously in HEIs, chapters on hybridity and perspective taking are presented. This innovative book is essential reading for academic managers in universities and colleges. It will also be of great value to academics and research students in business, management and higher education studies, and indeed anyone with an interest in the process of managing professionals.Trade Review'An excellent, thought provoking book on changing values and behaviour in universities. Richard Winter provides a sensemaking perspective to challenge the view that management is simply a value-free, functional process based on shared interests and goals. With students as ''customers'', courses as ''products'' and publications as ''hits'', he shows how managerialism limits academic identities as professionals. He argues that allowing for differences in the ways academics and academic work might be valued and managed allows us to move away from unitary conceptions of management that all organisations are governed effectively and legitimately by just one managerial perspective. The material on perspective taking also reinforces an important idea that leaders at all levels in universities may get more support for different employment and change strategies when they open-up spaces for dialogue and ''questions'' rather than relying on providing the right ''answers''.' --Adrian Wilkinson, Centre for Work, Organisation and Wellbeing, Griffith University, Australia'Managing Academics provides a timely and thoughtful examination of the significance of values and questions of identity in higher education for the development of the sector. It clearly illuminates how a unitary, managerialist approach to higher education can result in unintended, counterproductive consequences for the quality of teaching and the pursuit of research. It then offers a multi-perspective analysis of how the damaging effects of managerialism may be mitigated by advancing a more nuanced approach to the framing and enactment of scholarly activities. It is essential reading for anyone concerned about the degradation of higher education.' --Hugh Willmott, City University London, UK'Richard Winter has produced one of the most thoughtful and informative books on academic management to be published in recent years, one which deserves to be read and appreciated by academics, academic managers and managers alike. It can only help them in finding common ground, understanding and purpose, something we will all need in moving the academy forward in demanding times.' --Malcolm Tight, Lancaster University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction PART I: MANAGING ACADEMICS 1.

Book SynopsisValidity: Theoretical Development and Integrated Arguments provides a historical overview of validity, targeting developments in both the UK and the US. It explores theoretical notions of validity as well as pragmatic validation practices and expands the arguments that need to be attended to document quality. The authors examine the need to consider, in addition to the psychometric evidence, which has continued to prevail especially in the US, other critical sources of quality evidence. They call attention to principled design and the evidence accumulated from various departments/groups involved in test design and development. They also promote the concept of impact by design, which places consequences at the top of the evidence chain to guide all testing efforts and quality documentation. They envision validity scholarship to attend to consequences at the individual, aggregate/group, and larger educational/organisational/societal levels. Concomitant with this attention to consequences are considerations of stakeholders and the tailoring of communication to engage intended groups. Such an approach yields a more convincing validity argument. The monograph ends by calling on professionals in the field to publish case studies which showcase localised validity arguments in practice. Local case studies represent critical endeavours to illustrate how evidence and arguments are pulled together to support the quality of a testing programme and all that it entails.Table of ContentsCHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 2 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF VALIDITY CHAPTER 3 PRINCIPLED DESIGN, TEST DEVELOPMENT, AND VALIDATION CHAPTER 4 VALIDITY AND CONSEQUENCES CHAPTER 5 INTRODUCING AN INTEGRATED ARGUMENT-BASED APPROACH TO VALIDATION CHAPTER 6 CONCULSION: VALIDATION, LOCALISATION, AND CASE STUDIES

Book SynopsisThis highly original book analyses the results of a pioneering set of microdata on higher education institutions in 27 European countries in order to address key issues in higher education and research.For the first time, data on individual European higher education institutions (rather than data aggregated at the country level) is used in order to examine a wide range of issues that are both theoretically challenging and relevant from policy-making and societal perspectives. The contributors integrate statistics on universities and colleges with other sources of information such as patents, start-up firms and bibliometric data, and employ rigorous empirical methods to address a range of key questions, including: what is the role of non-university tertiary education such as vocational training? How important is the private sector? Are European universities internationalized? Are they efficient from the point of view of costs and educational output? Are there pure research universities in Europe? How do universities contribute to economic growth?By furthering the current debate on the future and competiveness of the European university model compared to that of the US and Asia, this book will prove an invaluable reference tool for academics and researchers in the fields of sociology of higher education and economics, particularly the economics of innovation, science and education. University decision-makers and administrators as well as policy-makers at local and European levels will also find this book to be a useful and enlightening read.Contributors: R. Biscaia, A.

Book SynopsisLeadership and Cooperation in Academia focuses on the place and the role of universities in different societies, including their influence on the socio-economic development of those societies.Across the world academic institutions are being questioned by their stakeholders and pressured to change. Answering these questions requires that academics and professional managers in universities think about their work, its value and organisation. The book highlights the need for space and stimulus to reflect on the responsibilities, roles and expectations that they identify for themselves, and that others place upon them - then, they might be better able to understand and to act. Similarly, policymakers and higher education commentators need the space and stimulus to reflect on the role of universities. This book will provide this space and an invaluable contribution to the stimulus.This innovative volume will be enriching to academics and professional managers who are interested in leading, managing and contributing in an academic environment. Policymakers and higher education commentators concerned with the development and impacts of universities will also find plenty of insightful information in this timely study.Contributors: M.J.

Book SynopsisThis book presents a remarkably broad yet detailed description and analysis of the various roles played by universities in the workings of modern economies, with a particular focus on Europe. It provides both a wide survey of research by others on the topics addressed, and an account of the authors' own important work. The complex policy issues are clearly drawn, and the authors informed pragmatic position on them clearly articulated. This is the best book on the subject that I have seen.'- Richard Nelson, Columbia University, US'This book, with its wealth of information and its broad perspective, goes a long way toward educating us in the United States about how research at European universities is conducted and funded and details differences between Europe and the US. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to have a broader perspective on the relationship between universities and the economy.'- Paula Stephan, Georgia State University and NBER, USThe University and the Economy provides an in-depth exploration of the many ways in which universities contribute to economic development and growth. By providing readers with theoretical tools and evidence to explain the means by which university activities impact the economic system, the book offers a robust analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of specific university systems.In offering a solid foundation of conceptual and statistical knowledge, this book supports the current debate on the role of the university in the contemporary economy. It also offers insights to enhance understanding of why some university systems are not contributing to their economies as well as others. The book adopts an economic perspective, which allows the actions of universities, as well as the individuals who study and work within them, to be analyzed in the context of economic models of behavior. From this perspective, it explains the organization, governance and funding of universities' activities and explores how these could be structured to improve their efficiency and effectiveness.Academics, policymakers, managers and professionals working in universities will find a wealth of valuable information in this book. It will also be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of science and technology policy, higher education economics and the economics and management of innovation.Trade Review'Geuna and Rossi's The University and the Economy provides a concise, critical survey of how universities' teaching, research, and technology transfer activities may contribute to economic growth, while cautioning decision-makers not to rely overmuch on popular statistical indicators of that performance.' --(Science and Public Policy)'The book is well written and structured, and it clearly demonstrates the value of an economic approach to the universities' activities... this book is highly recommendable and a good example of the valuable contributions that university research can make. It is relevant for students, academics, managers as well as policy-makers.' --(Regional Studies )'To wrap it up, the book by Aldo Geuna and Federica Rossi provides a thorough overview of the many ways in which universities contribute to economic growth through its key activities, teaching and research and technological transfer. The variety of theory, empirical work and original data reported in the book contributes to systematize a great amount of solid knowledge, which may not be easily accessible or directly usable by a wide public. Moreover, the book contributes to the debate on the restructuring on higher education systems with interesting and targeted policy suggestions for improving fruitful synergies between the university and the economy.' --(Journal of Economics Bibliography)Table of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis Handbook strives to enhance knowledge and application within sustainability in management education (SiME) across different academic programs, geographic regions and personal/professional contexts. Cross-disciplinary and boundary spanning, this book focuses on specific themes and is therefore split into four distinct sections: one on theory and practice, one on transformational interventions in business programs, one on the role of external agents and the last on innovative approaches in SiME. The co-editors expertly provide a roadmap for sustainability in management education while discussing key implications, applications and utilities that explore motivations and project possible outcomes for advances and integration of SiME. In addition to identifying new discursive strategies in SiME research, the co-editors provide a critical narrative and discussion on newly identified commonalities and connections within the Handbook's chapters. This content assessment highlights prevalent intersections for advancing, challenging, and questioning how to implement SiME in various programs. Management scholars, researchers, educators and practitioners as well as current, emerging and future leaders in various academic and private sectors will find this Handbook invaluable. It will serve as a key reference for more advanced studies in this rapidly developing field.Contributors include: F. Ahen, M. Albert, J.A. Arevalo, K.R. Bandyopadhyay, L. Barin Cruz, R.G. Bell, S.

Sroufe, M. Starik, A. Sulkowski, D. Vazquez-Brust, A. Vidal da Silva Martins, J.L. Whittington, J. Williams, L.T. Wong, N. YakovlevaTrade Review'The Handbook of Sustainability in Management Education: In Search of a Multidisciplinary, Innovative and Integrated Approach by Jorge Arevalo and Shelley Mitchell is a must-read for all those intrigued by the thought of transformational change in our business schools. Integrating sustainability into management education is a primary aim for the United Nations Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), of which most reputable business schools are members. Thus, this volume should be read by all educators. Only by increasing the expertise and knowledge of our MBAs and undergraduate business students, those who are the future workers in and leaders of our firms, will we see a substantial reduction of negative externalities that result in global catastrophes ranging from climate change to financial crises and everything in between. The old guard is locked in to a set of damaging patterns and we will not have much of an earth left to repair if we allow them to continue. Our organizations must learn to do more sustainable productive creation rather than so much destruction. I urge everyone to read this book and think about the wide ranging implications if we were to improve our university education systems to be sustainable through and through. In addition, this book by Jorge and Shelley is a wonderful community building piece for the field of Organizations and the Natural Environment, having so many distinguished contributors involved with it. This is truly a treasure trove demonstrating the heights that academics can achieve together on a collaborative effort aimed at enabling a better future for our children and the earth of which we are all a part.' --Deborah E. de Lange, Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada, Vice-Chair, North American Chapter of the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and Program Chair, Public and Non-Profit Division of Academy of ManagementTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Part I Theorizing the Field of Sustainability in Management Education (SiME) Development in Practice 1.

Book SynopsisThe next decade will be transformative for the higher education sector. Government funding is decreasing. Through their marketing activities universities have created the 'student consumer.' The student consumer is prepared to shop around, compare prices and value, and once purchased expects a return on their investment. Disruptive innovations are challenging traditional forms of learning and in many cases are viewed as better alternatives to traditional learning in the classroom. Competition from private educational providers is increasing. Their cost base is lower, and their customer focus is superior. In short, universities around the world are facing a perfect storm. While experts don't expect the higher education sector to collapse under these challenges, they do believe that for some institutions the future looks bleak. If universities are to avoid closures or mergers, they will need to adopt a market-oriented approach. This timely book urges readers to view students as customers and focuses on how universities need to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant. Striking a difference between market-oriented and marketing, the authors provide various examples of institutions around the world that are making efforts to reposition themselves. Additionally, this book delves into the issue of undervalued faculty, arguing that education practices are in desperate need of being reimagined due to the abundance of MOOCs and adaptive and experiential learning practices within universities these days. Both university and academic leaders alike, including presidents, provosts, deans, and faculty will find value in the instructional aspects of this book as they relate to their involvement with institutional advancement agendas as well as providing insight into the changing nature of higher education and the evolving definition of what an academic career now entails.Trade ReviewThe Market Oriented University provides a truly insightful look into the agents of change across the university systems. By offering a refreshing interpretation from a market-oriented view, John Davis and Mark Farrell make a compelling case for the reader to reassess the fundamental purpose of universities. This book is a must-read for all stakeholders of the educational system - administrators, faculty, students, parents, tax-payers, and policy-makers alike.' --Jin K. Han, Singapore Management University, Singapore'Most universities around the world are substantial enterprises involved in stiff competition for students, staff and resources. The leaders of universities are not in charge of quiet, cloistered ivory towers separated from the larger world. To the contrary, they are major participants in the economics and culture of their regions, and, often, in a number of international undertakings. Professors Davis and Farrell argue that university leaders should recognize these realities and then provide roadmaps for confronting marketplace realities successfully. This is not another book that says ''universities should be run like businesses.'' The authors are experienced enough to understand that the long term purposes of universities are different from those of a typical for profit corporation. But they recognize that universities can, and should, adopt behaviours that will maximize their abilities to compete successfully to attract students, to recruit and retain competent faculty and support staff, and to obtain financial support from both public and private sources. Being oriented to the ''market'' is simple common sense. The outline of issues and possible responses to those issues should be required reading anyone with leadership responsibilities within a modern university.' --Howard Hunter, Singapore Management University'This volume provides the reader with a clear and careful analysis of how universities may become market-oriented, as opposed to being marketing-oriented. More than writing either a simple history of university behaviors or a 'to do' list - whilst addressing both issues - Davis and Farrell offer a fascinating and persuasive reflection on how universities and their markets have been evolving into the 21st century world of increasingly vigorous competition, rapidly changing technology, and dwindling government financial support. The book draws on the authors' deep understanding and knowledge of the tertiary sector and marketing strategy, making its reading vital for all university managers and academics.' --Christopher Adam, UNSW AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book Synopsis'In this timely book, Professor Gordon Rausser explores the changing landscape of university-industry relations, informed by his unusual background as a pioneer in Public Private Research Partnerships (PPRPs) while serving as Dean of the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley. Scholars, administrators, and industry executives who are interested in industry/university partnerships will find a treasure of information and insights in this beautifully written book.'- Steve P. Briggs, University of California, San Diego'As public/private partnerships have become increasingly important to the funding of academic research, it is essential not only to learn from past institutional experience of such partnerships, but to create templates that optimize their structure for both partners. In his important book, Structuring Public-Private Research Partnerships for Success, Gordon Rausser has set himself to both tasks. All those who think about such partnerships will learn from this book.'- Carol Christ, University of California, BerkeleyUniversity research has played an essential role in economic growth by generating public good outputs that have not readily lent themselves to private market development. As funding for universities and governmental research units has declined, these institutions have turned to the private sector to augment their research and development budgets. This book presents a framework for structuring public-private research partnerships that protect both these institutions' academic freedom and the private firm's corporate interests. The authors present a four-stage framework that recognizes the critical role of 'control rights' and reveals how these rights can be effectively identified, valued, and allocated between research partners. The book provides a number of template designs for a variety of research partnerships, including tactics and strategies for implementing successful public-private research partnerships. It further provides case studies with examples of both successful and unsuccessful research partnerships. The book demonstrates that universities are empowered when they pursue private partners actively and when contracts preserve academic freedom, address confidentiality, specify intellectual property rights, define access to proprietary data, clarify the conflict resolution process, and address potential publication delays.This book is an essential and illuminating resource for academic researchers in economics and public policy departments, technology transfer offices, as well as others involved in university and public administration.Trade Review'The landscape for financing research has changed, and continues to change. Universities and other public enterprises are increasingly reliant on support from the private sector through grants, contracts, agreements, and other forms of public-private partnerships, many of which involve some shared interest in the outcome. Navigating this evolving landscape is challenging for participants in the private and public sector alike. Economists and others have written on various aspects, but piecemeal. Structuring Public-Private Research Partnerships for Success is the first comprehensive analysis of the incentive issues that arise in the formation and management of public-private research partnerships (PPRPs). It presents a framework for analyzing the structure of contracts for PPRPs and devising appropriately designed research agreements, supported by in-depth analytical treatment of many of the real-world challenges that arise in this context. This book is an invaluable reference for economists and others who are grappling with how to design research funding institutions that will succeed and enable public research enterprises to continue to flourish and achieve their public purposes in an era of ever-tighter government purse-strings.' --Julian M. Alston, University of California, Davis'Professor Rausser's book is unique in its focus on university efforts to negotiate research funding from the private sector, a crucial concern in this era of vanishing federal funding for basic research. It is especially noteworthy for its rigorous but accessible analyses of the tradeoff between basic and applied research in universities, and the process of bargaining between universities and businesses over research focus and funding. The lessons learned from the case studies analyzed are important to, and should be required reading for, all university administrators concerned about funding research.' --Richard Jensen, University of Notre Dame'Over the last 50 years, we have seen the emergence of an educational-industrial complex where university innovation and knowledge provide the foundation for cutting-edge industrial development. This new book is a must-read to understand the most exciting and controversial chapter in the evolution of the educational-industrial complex, namely, university/industry partnerships. The book provides an insightful conceptual framework for the design of such partnerships and analyzes the implications of actual contracts. The sound use of economic principles in institutional design will help to identify the pitfalls of bad design. The highlights of the book are the fascinating case studies of such arrangements, in particular, the Berkeley/Novartis arrangement. Since university/industry partnerships are likely to proliferate, this book provides essential reading for properly designing these partnerships. The book will be of much interest to both applied and theoretical economists and to practitioners and scholars of research and development and institutional design.' --David Zilberman, University of California, BerkeleyTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisGathering unique and thoughtful contributions from leading international scholars, this timely Research Handbook offers diverse perspectives on university rankings twenty years after the first global rankings emerged. It presents an in-depth analysis that reflects the current state of research on rankings, their influence and impact.The Research Handbook explores how rankings and their impacts can be theorized and conceptualized, as well as the methodological tensions that rankings generate. It further examines how rankings have affected institutional behaviours and interacted with the quality agenda in higher education, examining what rankings mean for equity, teaching and learning, and students. Chapters also analyse how rankings interact with and accentuate the geopolitics of higher education, looking ahead to emergent policy issues and responses to rankings.Higher education researchers, policy and decision makers as well as rankings followers will find the critical insights into globalisation and geopolitics, quality assurance, international comparability and assessment, and student outcomes and learning in this Research Handbook interesting. It will also be a useful read for higher education and university leaders and managers wanting a better understanding of rankings and their usefulness and challenges.Trade Review‘The authors give a comprehensive review and analysis of the impact of global university rankings since their establishment in 2003.’ -- Hester Klopper, Daily Maverick South Africa‘This book is a must-have for higher education policymakers, administrators, and researchers who are directly involved in all aspects of university performance.’ -- Ruth A Pagell, Emory University‘The Research Handbook on University Rankings contains informative studies introducing theoretical frameworks, methodological tensions, influences and impacts that university global rankings have brought into higher education systems and individual institutions in the context of globalization and internationalization. Looking back over 20 years, the monograph consisting 37 chapters in six themes extensively analyses related ranking issues in the past as well as explores the new modes and imaginaries for future development.’ -- Angela Yung Chi Hou, International Journal of Chinese Education‘The Research Handbook on University Rankings offers a highly useful and wide-ranging look at the influential role of global rankings, including a frank assessment of the good, the bad and the ugly. National case studies in particular give the reader an understanding of the global drive for metrics and standardized evaluations of university performance, and the actual impact on funding, policies and the behaviors of individual institutions. What is the future of the proliferation of ranking enterprises? The chapters seem to indicate that they will live on as powerful consumer guides for prospective students in the post-COVID era of global talent mobility, but perhaps are waning as an instigator of government policies.’ -- John Aubrey Douglass, University of California, Berkeley, US‘An enlightening Handbook on everything you always wanted to know about rankings but could not find an answer to: highly reflexive contributions on rankings themselves; challenging analysis of their impact on globalizing higher education and science and on national and institutional policies in different country settings; diving into the business of rankers and publishers; case studies of universities seeking for improved ranks. . . All facets of rankings are scrutinized.’ -- Christine Musselin, CNRS and Sciences Po, France‘The Research Handbook on University Rankings offers a highly useful and wide ranging look at the influential role of global rankings, including a frank assessment of the good, the bad and the ugly.

This Research Handbook is a major contribution to that understanding, putting rankings for the first time in their proper context, theoretically and in terms of policy.’ -- Peter Scott, UCL Institute of Education, UK‘If you read only one book about the “whys”, the “hows” and the “impacts” of higher education rankings, this volume is it. Taking both a historical and an international perspective on this global phenomenon, this collection of articles offers expert views on the changes rankings have brought to the world of higher education locally, globally and in terms of each university mission, as well as an analysis of the methodological and political issues rankings raise. A comprehensive reflection on rankings – now a permanent fixture in the higher education policy landscape – well worth reading.’ -- Eva Egron-Polak, Former Secretary General, Senior Fellow, International Association of UniversitiesTable of ContentsContents: Foreword: reflections on rankings xxiii Philip G.

Book SynopsisSince the onset of the UK's Research Excellence Framework in 2014, the environment for academic research has changed dramatically. Competitive Accountability in Academic Life goes behind the scenes of the 'impact' policy agenda for higher education research and interrogates the effects of the new framework on academic research. Richard Watermeyer dissects how a new requirement to evidence the economic and societal impact of research has created a culture of intense competitiveness in UK universities. Through the eyes of both those responsible for the REF and those working under its gaze, the author locates the gross deceit spawned from a culture of competitive accountability in UK universities. This challenging book reconceptualises the public role of researchers, posing a new effort to progress the neoliberal malaise by signposting peripheral zones of participation - and non-participation - as viable intellectual alternatives to the university. Both groundbreaking and provocative, Watermeyer's book is critical reading for academics working not just in the UK, but also internationally. The author's crucial insight into modern higher education will also prove indispensable to higher education policy makers looking to innovate and refine education policy, and to university administrators overseeing performance management systems.Trade Review‘Watermeyer’s book encourages academics all over the world to reflect on both the potentials and down-sides of these accountability systems. The underlying analysis is provocative, as it fundamentally questions taken for granted ways in which research is assessed, not only in the UK but also in many other Western countries. Scholars in public policy, education policy and public management and accounting can benefit from taking notice of this book.’ -- Jan van Helden, Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management‘Where this book fares really well in comparison with others is its focus on the complicity and hypocrisy among academics themselves, thereby making the competitive practices even more entrenched. The latter is of particular importance because while change is necessary, it is only possible if the problem is appreciated in full.’ -- Ignas Kalpokas, LSE Review of Books'Competitive Accountability in Academic Life is a challenging text that will appeal to academics and research scientists across different discipline areas. Drawing on UK REF-impact empirical data over a three-year period, a comprehensive sociological analysis accounts for how academics' public citizenship has been regulated, controlled and hollowed out. By showing how political, economic and cultural dimensions of intellectual life is influenced and informed by competitive accountability, Richard Watermeyer paints a compelling picture of what academics ''have (albeit unwittingly) allowed themselves to be used for''. This thought-provoking text provides a strong rationale for reconceptualizing the public worth of academics and reasserting their social value.' --Richard Winter, The Australian National University, Australia'Competitive Accountability in Academic Life is an ambitious book charting the dispiriting, corrosive effects of contemporary academic managerialism. An impressive intellectual tour de force, Watermeyer awakens new possibilities for engaged and impactful academic practices. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in understanding and repairing today's toxic university governance.' --Paul Benneworth, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, NorwayThis witty, subversive and well-informed book provides an essential guide to the effects of performance measurement in universities. Predictable consequences include growing job insecurity, more stressful working conditions and declining quality of academic life. Even more serious is the loss of incentive for independent original thought and the stifling of debate on controversial social and political issues.' --Mark Casson, University of Reading, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisHow to Manage Student Consulting Projects describes the key principles and tools needed by project advisors to manage student consulting projects in an academic setting. The authors highlight different approaches for managing student consulting teams, including an innovative model in which graduate students manage undergraduates. This model of experiential learning suggests that project advisors should include reflection of learning as a key outcome for any student consulting project. The book also emphasizes the importance of evaluating both team and individual performance in a project's overall success, and data are shown on the positive impact that student teams have had on clients. In addition to offering strategies that project advisors can use to improve project performance, the book provides information for program administrators and deans, as well as project managers in non-academic settings, to help in the development and running of project-based learning.Trade Review‘When designed and managed well, students consulting projects can lay and reify some of the strongest knowledge and professional foundations for our students. This book shows us how.’ -- Christina Kyprianou, Academy of Management Learning & Education'I've seen firsthand how effectively managing student consulting projects can provide a valuable experience for students and a high impact service for clients. As a former dean and provost at Babson, I witnessed the authors of this book take the student consulting program to new heights and transform it into one of the most meaningful experiential learning opportunities you will find anywhere. You will want to learn from them and adopt their principles in your own program.' --Dennis Hanno, President, Wheaton College, US>'The Boston Red Sox organization has benefited greatly from the work of the student consulting teams from Babson College for over 6 years.

Book SynopsisFocusing on academic entrepreneurship in the university context, the authors explore how researchers, teachers, students, academic managers and administrators make sense of entrepreneurship and of the paradoxes and contradictions involved. The book investigates how these diverse entrepreneurial actors and their stakeholders interpret and analyse entrepreneurial activities within the university ecosystem.New Movements in Academic Entrepreneurship covers research commercialisation, academic start-up companies and entrepreneurship education, as well as university-society relationships more widely. With contributions from Europe, North America and Asia, this book helps to broaden our understanding of academic entrepreneurship using original theoretical insights and rich empirical data.Essential reading for students and researchers of entrepreneurial universities and ecosystems, this book provides fresh theoretical frameworks and an inclusive understanding of academic entrepreneurship.Trade Review‘This book expands the boundaries of the many different roles academics and academic institutions play in both furthering and hindering entrepreneurship (as construed in a variety of forms and methods) in a variety of contexts for a variety of individuals engaged in the practices of entrepreneurship. A major value of this book is that it challenges the academic ecosystem to consider a more expansive view of what entrepreneurship is, who is engaged in these different forms of entrepreneurship, and, to recognize that these varieties of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship already exist and can flourish, if we are willing to let go of our misguided preconceptions and misunderstandings.’ -- William B.

Book SynopsisThe Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education captures the complexities and paradoxes associated with higher education transformation. Drawing upon current empirical and theoretical scholarship, it identifies the drivers, actors, developments and outcomes of transformational processes within the field.Providing a multi-level outlook on higher education transformation, this timely Research Handbook identifies key aspects and methods of transformational change that leaders can apply to their own institutions. Through detailed analysis of the technological, socio-political and market forces that are currently transforming universities and colleges, chapters portray change within higher education as responsive to global academic challenges such as structural inequality, reductions in state funding and the pandemic-accelerated pace of digitalisation.Illustrating the scope, process and pace of higher education transformation, this comprehensive Research Handbook will be a valuable resource for academics and doctoral scholars studying educational policy, public administration and organization studies. Higher education administrators and those in leadership positions within colleges and universities will additionally find it to be an enlightening read.Trade Review‘Providing a multi-level outlook on higher education transformation, The Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education is timely and useful as it identifies key aspects and methods of transformational change that leaders can apply to their own institutions.

Different dimensions of the complex and at times confusing topic of higher education transformation are disentangled and discussed at various levels. It’s of particular value that the often neglected relations between these dimensions and levels are also illuminated.’ -- Georg Krücken, International Center for Higher Education Research, University of Kassel, Germany‘A state-of-the-art Research Handbook on a key institution of our societies. It is a must read for understanding the multiple dynamics of deep change in higher education systems and institutions. Conceptually and empirically rich, multiple perspectives from around the globe highlight the drivers, actors, processes, and effects of transformation in higher education.’ -- Jürgen Enders, University of Bath, UK‘This insightful Research Handbook critically addresses the promises and perils of the transformation of higher education. Grappling with the global, national and local continuities and entrenched interests reflected in higher education alongside the drivers of transformation, it discusses worldwide trends in the direction of privatization, the limits of diversity frames, the challenges of global templates, and growing inequalities within and between countries.’ -- Francisco O. Ramirez, Stanford University, US‘This inspirational book explores the local and global dynamics of university transformation which doesn’t only emerge from management initiatives but from grassroots staff engagement and outside companies too.

Book SynopsisAlthough there are many aspects of language education that have been covered extensively in the literature, from methodologies to technologies, Leadership in Language Education (LiLE) has received very little attention - until recently. As the world saw, during the global pandemic, poor leadership at the highest levels costs lives. The world needs better leaders -- at every level of society - and Reflecting on Leadership in Language Education represents the first time that Reflective Practice has been positioned at the forefront of leadership development in language education. It is also the first book ever to bring together 300 years of LiLE experience into a single volume, capturing the insights from three centuries of lived LiLE experiences for the generations of leaders to come.Table of ContentsIntroduction and Overview: Reflecting on Leadership in Times of Crisis Andy Curtis Chapter One: Introduction to The Part One Responses: Learning from the Life Stories of Others Andy Curtis The Part One Responses Okon Effiong: Seeking Professional Development, But Finding Myself in at The Deep End Christel Broady: My Path to Leadership Leo Mercado: Getting on the Roller Coaster Andy Curtis: ‘Going’ Into Teaching But ‘Falling’ Into Leadership Marjorie Rosenberg: Moving Sideways into Leadership Rosemary Orlando: Just Another Day in Paradise?

Book SynopsisCooperative Learning through a Reflective Lens explores cooperative learning through the lens of reflective language teaching, delving into a wide range of issues on which teachers will want to reflect and suggesting ways that they could do that reflection. The book begins with background on cooperative learning including its theoretical roots and the research which supports its use. Next, eight principles for using cooperative learning are explained and examples are given as to how to implement those principles. Further highlighting the book' practical focus is a chapter on nuts and bolts matters that need to be considered when teachers help their students do cooperative learning. Of course, the light of reflection shines throughout the book, including in a chapter on how to encourage reflection among students on their own learning and on the functioning of their cooperative learning groups. Another chapter offers guidance on how reflection can inform teachers' use of cooperative learning with their students, as well as teachers' cooperation with their colleagues. The book finishes with example lessons which bring to life the principles and practicalities discussed in earlier chapters of the book.Table of ContentsIntroduction – Horray for Cooperation 1.

Book SynopsisThe way we think about things matters just as much as what we think about things.This timely text investigates the work of educational philosopher and psychologist Jerome Bruner through the areas of knowledge representation, meaning-making, education and dispute. What people represent to others might not always be what they actually think. However, accepting this limitation, the aim of this book is to offer a means of examining representations about a given subject and an understanding of how those representations might change over time in response to learning, crisis, and encounter with 'other'.Myers offers an educational intervention that invites development of representations in response to difference. Presenting a new framework for examining controversy between worldviews and a method for creating space for difference, the book brings this into dialogue with education and research, conflict resolution and religion. This framework maps representations and proposes a method of engaging the psychological processes involved in changing representations.An excellent resource of interest to researchers, professionals and postgraduate students alike in education, sociology and philosophy related disciplines.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Jerome Bruner: An overview of key ideas Chapter 2. Constructing Knowing: Paradigmatic and narrative modes of representation and the social context of meaning making Chapter 3.

Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking Handbook examines the evolution of university autonomy and governance by tracking the changing relationship between higher education institutions and the state. Through unique historical analyses, contributors provide important insights into the position of students, academics, and universities in today’s society, mapping potential future directions of travel for the sector.Illustrating how governments have historically always tried to exert some degree of control over universities, this Handbook explores ways institutions have adapted to these changing pressures. Contributors review the diverse societal roles played by higher education institutions, including serving the Church, training public bureaucrats, building the nation- state, preserving national culture, promoting social mobility, and ensuring economic competitiveness. They focus in particular on recent developments in university governance, critically analysing the influence of neoliberal politics, academic capitalism, and the knowledge society on higher education.This Handbook will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of education economics, management, policy and administration, as well as sociologists and political scientists. It will also be essential reading for leaders and administrators at higher education institutions seeking to design and implement effective higher education policies.Trade Review‘The massive expansion of higher education has been paralleled by a managerial and governance revolution of higher education institutions and systems. This Handbook reflects this development. It illustrates how research on higher education management and governance has emerged as an important research field. The editors have brought together a large group of intellectually attractive authors to cover key topics and developments. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students for many years to come.’ -- Ivar Bleiklie, University of Bergen, NorwayTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Handbook on Higher Education Management and Governance 1 Alberto Amaral and António M.

Book SynopsisAre business schools on the wrong track? For many years, business schools enjoyed rising enrollments, positive media attention, and growing prestige in the business world. However, due to the disruption of Covid-19, many previously ignored issues relating to MBA programs resurfaced. As a result, MBA programs now face lower enrollments and intense criticism for being deficient in preparing future business leaders and ignoring essential topics like ethics, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion. The Future of Business Schools discusses these issues in the context of three critical areas: complexity, sustainability, and destiny. How do we prepare students for a new and complex world, how can business schools focus on the planet's sustainability, and how will they shape a better future for everyone? The chapters present views and suggestions of business school professors, researchers, and leaders from different contexts and countries as well as ideas for business school stakeholders, on topics from program structures, course content, and teaching materials to research topics. In addition to examples of innovations, there are tools offered to help universities navigate complexity and prepare for uncertainty.The material will assist business school faculty, staff, and administrators as well as professionals, policymakers, and organizations in identifying new directions for business schools in this evolving field.Trade Review‘In a timely volume, Professors Baldegger, El Tarabishy, Audretsch, Kariv, Passerini, and Tan have demonstrated that the future of business schools is now. Business schools can and should play a critical role in economic and talent development worldwide, and this book shows us the path forward. Filled with strategic and operational insights, this is a book useful for all internal and external business schools stakeholders, including students, faculty, university leaders, alumni, governments, policymakers, and society at large.’ -- Herman Aguinis, The George Washington University School of Business, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xvii Marc Gruber Foreword xix Louis Jacques Filion Introduction to The Future of Business Schools 1 Rico Baldegger PART I SENSEMAKING IN BUSINESS SCHOOLS: NAVIGATING COMPLEXITY AND PREPARING FOR UNCERTAINTY 1 Building the business schools of the future with a strong focus on practical wisdom for a VUCA world 14 Wolfgang Amann, Agata Stachowicz-Stanusch and Shiv Tripathi 2 Post-COVID-19 future of hybrid education: internationalization, inclusion, opportunities 27 Mary Kate Naatus, Katia Passerini, Kevin Pon and Mark Somers 3 Expanding and renewing teaching and learning: towards Global Studies 40 Nicole Saliba-Chalhoub and Christophe Schmitt 4 A new call for Business Schools: breaking out of the paradox loop 52 Martine Boutary and Wafa Khlif 5 Designing disruptive-innovative business schools 69 Werner Krings, Michael Harrison and Roger Palmer 6 The case for enterprise risk management in business education 93 Norean R.

Book SynopsisThis timely book offers a detailed, multidisciplinary view on the radical changes in higher education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapters carefully investigate how the pandemic led to massive disruption in the sector, examining the contentious politics involved, and managerial and policy changes that stemmed from this unprecedented crisis.Dually focused on recent events and imminent futures, this insightful book addresses questions raised about the nature of post-pandemic learning, for instance interrogating digital changes and their permanency. Institutional changes are observed on three different levels: micro, meso and macro. Ultimately this book successfully recounts past events and hypothesizes potential future developments within the sector.Building the Post-Pandemic University will be crucial for students engaging in critical university studies, education policy, digital sociology and higher education studies. It will also be of interest for university policy makers seeking to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the higher education system.Trade Review‘Wow! Carrigan, Moscovitz, Martini and Robertson have gone straight to the cutting edge. Starting from the down curve of the pandemic and with a close eye on the digital, they take us all the way through the algorithmic academy and out the other side. Never has the neoliberal university looked more dated and inadequate; and these chapters show that while post-truth conspiracies, ecological blindness, platform capitalists and big five publishers loom ever larger the potentials of knowledge socialism are continuing and irrepressible. As Michael Peters says in his foreword, “there is always the contestation, dissent, and creative appropriation of technology that keeps the idea of the university alive.”’ -- Simon Marginson, University of Oxford, UK‘Building the Post-Pandemic University is one of those rare scholarly achievements consolidated at a time of considerable transformation both in global political cultures and in the way we comprehend “crises” in and through Higher Education (HE). How are universities meant to re-imagine and respond to multiple political crises, both manufactured and real, and most particularly after a global pandemic? This collection, edited by a very fine set of transdisciplinary scholars seeking to comprehend HE, crises and transformation, represents a one of a kind account of the university seeking to rebuild itself in the face of a global pandemic. Its many contributions sound out the complexity of such an unexpected task and elicit creative scholarly ways to imagine such a thing called the post-pandemic university. It is timely, absorbing and provides a genuine contribution to Sociology, the Humanities, the Arts and to all those interested in how to comprehend the very notion of a university in a post-pandemic world. This book will not disappoint.’ -- Jo-Anne Dillabough, University of Cambridge, UK‘This book is as important as it is timely. For higher education sectors to move forwards – and take their workforces along with them - the contours and legacies of the pandemic need to be much better understood. The contributors to this sensitively curated volume bring insight and evidence about what really happened to higher learning during Covid. The collection is more than the sum of its chapters; it goes beyond critique to offer a shared blueprint for what might come next. The neoliberal university embraces individualism and entrepreneurialism in the name of competition; this collection prompts us to advocate for a new settlement based on fairer and more humane values.’ -- Steven Jones, University of Manchester, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword: Biopolitics, truth, and collective intelligence in the era of viral modernity xv Michael A.

Book SynopsisThe global education crisis is a complex problem that requires change from teachers, school managers, civil society, implementers, planners, governments and donors. Addressing the issues that lie beneath this crisis requires new ways of working. Systems thinking is a suite of approaches to grappling with complex problems that is beginning to gain traction in international education. This book brings together new research in the nascent field of systems thinking in international education.Outlining the implications that systems thinking can hold for future research, practice and progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4, a diverse range of leading scholars, policymakers and practitioners present novel research to encourage the shift from a linear view of change to a systems view. Chapters present diverse approaches to applying systems thinking in education across middle- and low-income countries, alongside research on how this has changed mindsets more widely. Questioning notions such as scaling and the universal applicability of ‘what works’, authors here suggest that locally relevant evidence and systemic rewards for using it are necessary to achieve SDG 4. This innovative book exemplifies how systems thinking offers the tools, frameworks and concepts to improve outcomes in education systems.With the education crisis further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, this timely book is essential reading for all those concerned with education and sustainable development goals. This thought-provoking book should be read by all those working to achieve SDG4; those whose day jobs inspire them and who look to their bookshelves for new ideas.Trade Review‘Systems thinking has been successfully applied to address service delivery challenges in many sectors, especially health. While it is a relatively new approach in education, systems thinking will become a commonly used tool in delivering quality education post the ravages of covid. This book, consisting of 11 chapters and authored by a wide range of reputable practitioners on the topic, will become a valuable companion to donors, policymakers and implementers down to the classroom level striving to provide quality learning for all children.’ -- Dzingai Mutumbuka, First Minister of Education of Independent Zimbabwe, former Chair of ADEA, former Sector Manager at the World Bank and currently serves on numerous education boards‘Given what we know about complexity theory and the insights it offers into how we might go about initiating and sustaining change in education, it's hard to imagine taking on the perennial challenges in international education and development without first understanding what dynamic systems approaches have to offer in this domain. Perhaps the biggest of those challenges lies in enabling quality learning for all – and this volume takes that on through a systems approach, considering examples of such thinking and practice from across the globe and asking how systems thinking might help in the design and implementation of interventions aimed at realizing Sustainable Development Goal Four. It's hard to imagine how we've done without this book for so long.’ -- Mark Mason, The Education University of Hong Kong‘The language of change is often slippery, nowhere more so than discussing “systems”. Is “system” merely a synonym for bureaucracy, or a non-linear, unpredictable and constantly evolving network? When advocates of change use the term interchangeably, confusion is the inevitable result. In this book, Faul and Savage disentangle the two, show how the broader understandings of “systems thinking” apply to the education sector, and explore a series of case studies for additional insights. A valuable contribution.’ -- Duncan Green, author of How Change Happens; Professor in Practice, London School of Economics, UK; Strategic Adviser, Oxfam GBTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xiv Gita Steiner-Khamsi Acknowledgements xv 1 Introduction to Systems Thinking in International Education and Development 1 Moira V.
