Vidyasagar: The Life and After-life of an Eminent Indian (Pathfinders)
by Brian A. HatcherThis book offers a new interpretation of the life and legacy of the Indian reformer and intellectual, Ishvarchandra Vidyasagar (1820–91). Drawing upon autobiography, biography, secondary criticism and a range of Vidyasagar’s original writings in Bengali, the book interrogates the role of history, memory and controversy, and emphasises the key challenge of pinning down the identity of an enigmatic and multi-faceted figure. By examining lesser-known works of Vidyasagar (including several pseudonymous and posthumous works) alongside the evidence of his public career, the author calls attention to the colonial transformation of intellectual and social life, the nature of life writing, the limits of standard biographies and the problem of modern Indian identity as such. Based on decades of research and an original perspective, this book will be especially useful to scholars of modern Indian history, biographical studies, comparative literature and those interested in Bengal.

Vietnam Over the Long Twentieth Century: Becoming Modern, Going Global (Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community)
by Liam C. Kelley Gerard SasgesThis open access book provides fascinating insights into the incredible changes that Vietnam underwent in the long twentieth century as it transformed from an early modern kingdom to a European colony, to a divided land with opposing ideologies, and to a unified country in a globalized world. At each stage in this long century of changes, there were Vietnamese who sought to mold their society into some vision of “modernity.” The book looks at multiple, rather than one form of modernity, and links those forms with the different political moments that Vietnam experienced, in tandem with the outside interlocutors that were maintained during those periods. As such, this book provides a holistic view of the many forms of modernity and their global links that can be found in Vietnam over the course of the long twentieth century. These multiple modernities are documented in this book, and the authors do so by bringing together the strengths of “traditional” language-based area studies scholarship with the insights that an awareness of trans-national and global perspectives provides. Relevant to historians and researchers in the broader arena of Southeast Asian studies with a particular interest in Vietnam—its journey from past to present—this book is a must-read engagement with a country that has undergone and continues to experience, rapid transformation.

Vietnamese Language, Education and Change In and Outside Vietnam (Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community)
by Dat Bao Phan Le Ha Joel WindleThis open access edited book attempts to break new ground in investigating multiple facets of Vietnamese language, education and change in global contexts, engaging with global Vietnam through complex lenses of language and education. Issues of language, globalization, and global identities have often been framed through the lens of hierarchical/binary power relations, and/or through a dichotomy between hyper-central languages, such as English, and revisualized or marginalized local language and cultures. In this book, this dichotomy is turned on its head by considering how Vietnam and Vietnamese are constructed in and outside Vietnam and enacted in global spaces of classrooms, textbooks, student mobility, community engagement, curriculum, and intercultural contacts. Vietnamese is among the world’s most spoken languages and is ranked in the top 20th in terms the number of speakers. Yet, at the same time, as a ‘peripheral’ or ‘southern’ global language as often seen in the Global North-Global South spectrum, the dynamics of multilingual and multicultural encounters involving Vietnamese generate distinctive dilemmas and tensions, as well as pointing to alternative ways of thinking about global phenomena from a fresh angle. Rather than being outside of the global, Vietnamese - like many other ‘non-central’ global languages - is present in diasporas, commercial, and transnational structures of higher education, schooling, and in the more conventional settings of primary and secondary school, in which visions of culture and language also evoke notions of heritage and tradition as well as bring to the fore deep seated ideological conflicts across time, space, communities, and generations. Relevant to students and scholars researching language, education, identity, multiculturalism, and their intersections, particularly related to Vietnam, but also in Southeast Asia and beyond, this volume is a pioneering investigation into overlooked contexts and languages from a global, southern-oriented perspective."This book presents an eclectic collection of 15 chapters unified by an interest in developing and teaching the Vietnamese language. To my knowledge, there has been no previous attempt to make the national language of Vietnam a focus for as many perspectives as are documented in the book. In this regard, the book makes an original and intriguing contribution to the literature on Vietnamese culture, including the culture of Vietnam’s expanding diaspora. The book is pioneering in the extent to which it draws attention to the many roles played by a national language in a nation’s political, social and cultural development. It also documents the challenges of preserving a national language in settings where it is at risk of being marginalized. It is pleasing that so many of the contributing authors are young Vietnamese scholars who can provide a distinctly Vietnamese perspective on concepts and practices of global significance."- Dr. MartinHayden, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, Southern Cross University, Australia "Vietnamese Language, Education and Change In and Outside Vietnam brings together an excellent collection of chapters that highlight the diverse and important but under-explored roles Vietnamese language plays in different settings within and outside Vietnam. The fifteen chapters of this much needed book provide unique insights into various aspects and meanings of Vietnamese language. Collectively, the volume contributes to broadening our view about the evolution and transformation of Vietnamese language under the impacts of local, national, regional and global forces. The book invites readers to engage in a reflective and intersectional approach to rethinking and re-examining our understandings of the changes and developments of Vietnamese language over the history of the country."- Dr Ly Tran, Professor, Centre for Research for Educational Impact (REDI), Deakin University, Australia, and Founder: Australia-Vietnam
Vietnam’s Creativity Agenda: Reforming and Transforming Higher Education Practice (Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community)
by Catherine EarlThis book gathers a diverse set of empirical research chapters from practitioners in the higher education sector in Vietnam to explore the effects of higher education reform on university learning and teaching from the point of view of the classroom educators. Through action research, reflective practice, and other qualitative methods, the book investigates the transformations of learning and teaching practice from top-down to bottom-up, teacher-centred to student-centred, curriculum-oriented to skills-based, institutionally directed to partner integrated, and co-designed approaches. In doing so, the book challenges a rethinking of Vietnamese higher education. It reveals the ingredients for transformative education and calls for educators to be empowered with support, resources, and trust. Drawing on a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds about Vietnam’s university reforms, it is highly relevant to social anthropologists, educational specialists, and policymakers working in higher education reform, not only in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian contexts, but globally.

The View From The Studio Door
by Ted OrlandIn the perennial best-seller Art & Fear, Ted Orland (with David Bayles) examined the obstacles that artists encounter each time they enter their studio and stand before a new blank canvas. Now, in The View From The Studio Door, Orland turns his attention to broader issues that stand to either side of that artistic moment of truth.In a text marked by grace, brevity and humor, Orland argues that when it comes to art making, theory and practice are always intertwined. There are timeless philosophical questions (How do we make sense of the world?) that address the very nature of art making, as well as gritty real-world questions (Is there art after graduation?) that artists encounter the moment they're off the starting blocks and producing work on a regular basis.Simply put, this is a book of practical philosophy. As a teacher and working artist himself, Orland brings authentic insight and encouragement to all those who face the challenge of making art in an uncertain world. The breadth of material covered is reflected in chapters that include Making Sense of the World, Art & Society, The Education of the Artist, Surviving Graduation, Making Art That Matters, The Artistic Community, and more.The View From The Studio Door is the perfect companion piece to Art & Fear, and will appeal to a similar (and already-established) audience of students, working artists, teachers and professionals. For students' benefit, The View is also modestly priced, with wide page margins for easy note-taking and annotation.
The View from the Vue
by Larry Karp"We called it THE VUE, and without a doubt, that was the most complimentary nickname Bellevue Hospital ever had. " So begins The View from the Vue, an "entertaining, colorful recall" (Publishers Weekly) of life a half-century ago at New York City's medical court of last resort. Between 1959 and 1965, Dr. Larry Karp served as medical student, intern, and resident physician at Bellevue. During these six years, he came to know and understand the people who wended their way through the dingy hallways and roach-infested subterranean passages, and inhabited the sparsely furnished wards of the fabulous hospital whose origins date back to 1811. It's not surprising that Dr. Karp has never been able to forget The Vue. Writing in a style both human and humorous, he recalls some of the astonishingly funny and dramatic events he lived through, involving bizarre patients and grotesque working conditions. In the process, he gives us a clear picture of what it was like at Bellevue in the early sixties . . . for both doctors and patients.

Straightforward problems and rewarding solutions empower students to make accurate, sophisticated drawings. Personal essays and short biographies by contemporary artists are interspersed between chapters and are accompanied by images of their work. These fine artists--who include mathematicians and scientists--examine how mathematics influences their art. Accessible to students of all levels, Viewpoints encourages experimentation and collaboration, and captures the essence of artistic and mathematical creation and discovery.

Views and Beliefs in Mathematics Education: The Role Of Beliefs In The Classroom
by Benjamin Rott Günter Törner Joyce Peters-Dasdemir Anne Möller SafrudiannurThe book is made up of 21 chapters from 25 presentations at the 23rd MAVI conference in Essen, which featured Alan Schoenfeld as keynote speaker. Of major interest to MAVI participants is the relationship between teachers’ professed beliefs and classroom practice. The first section is dedicated to classroom practices and beliefs regarding those practices, taking a look at prospective or practicing teachers’ views of different practices such as decision-making, the roles of explanations, problem-solving, patterning, and the use of play. The focus of the second section in this book deals with teacher change, which is notoriously difficult, even when the teachers themselves are interested in changing their practice. The third section of this book centers on the undercurrents of teaching and learning mathematics, what rises in various situations, causing tensions and inconsistencies. The last section of this book takes a look at emerging themes in affect-related research. In this section, papers discuss attitudes towards assessment.

La vigencia de la filosofía
by Emilio LledóUna defensa acérrima de la utilidad de la filosofía en nuestros días de la mano del gran pensador Emilio Lledó. «[...] la filosofía se nos aparece como una ocupación de algunos hombres, tan real e importante como esas otras ocupaciones que han modificado, técnica o artísticamente, la faz del mundo y las relaciones humanas.» ¿Está la filosofía en crisis o sigue siendo una ocupación necesaria para entender y analizar el mundo? ¿Puede considerarse la filosofía un oficio? ¿Cómo debe dialogar la filosofía con la historia precedente o con la ciencia y la tecnología de nuestro siglo? Bajo estos interrogantes, el gran pensador Emilio Lledó atiende la urgencia de recuperar la filosofía como una materia indispensable para ejercer un pensamiento crítico y teje un texto que ensalza las virtudes inexcusables y atemporales del saber filosófico en la modernidad y la era del consumismo. Galardonado con el Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas 2014 y el Premio Princesa de Asturias 2015, Emilio Lledó ha colocado la filosofía en el centro de todas sus obras y la ha defendido como base de toda educación. El texto aquí presentado pertenece a su obra Sobre la educación (Taurus, 2018). Sobre el autor:«Si hubiera muchos intelectuales como Lledó el nuestro sería un país bien distinto.»Elvira Lindo «Pocos intelectuales se ciñen con tanta justeza al concepto de sabio. Desde la atalaya de sus 94 años, Lledó sigue mirando al futuro».Guillermo Altares, El País «Un diccionario de alertas con el destello de los grandes filósofos detrás para advertir de la gran herencia de la cultura como herramienta de civilización, de progreso, de justicia y de verdad.»Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «Un gran ensayista y divulgador de alto nivel, entre los temas que trata destacan la defensa de la lectura, la felicidad, el silencio, la bellezay la verdad.»Winston Manrique, El País
