Human Rights-Based Approach to Short-Term Study Abroad (SpringerBriefs in Rights-Based Approaches to Social Work)
by Karen Rice Heather GirvinShort-term study abroad experiences are on the rise across social work programs. This increase is fueled by the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) that social work programs graduate students who are ready to engage diversity and function ethically as global citizens who understand mechanisms of oppression. With the increasing number of short-term study abroad trips, this brief offers a framework that provides strategies for empowering the populations and communities in which these trips occur. Developing short-term study abroad trips from a human rights-based framework rather than a needs-based approach is urgent and necessary, as the community in which the visit will occur is placed at the center of planning efforts and its members become equal and active participants. The brief is accessible and relevant to both instructors and students, with thoughtful emphasis placed in each chapter to align with the needs of each group more distinctly. It is conceived with both travel-based (field education) and classroom learning (pre-trip preparation) in mind. Though developed with more depth, theory, and evidence than a "how-to manual," the brief serves as an exemplary "guide" that prepares those engaging in short-term study abroad trips with information and strategies that are derived from the key concepts of a rights-based approach to field education. Human Rights-Based Approach to Short-Term Study Abroad is essential reading that engages students and faculty with case examples to illuminate the complex concepts that are taught by faculty as well as specific exercises and assignments to guide both faculty and student through the process of developing and implementing short-term study abroad trips. This brief is of immediate relevance for undergraduate and graduate coursework in field education, international social work, human rights, global social work, and macro social work, as well as useful for any practitioner seeking CSWE accreditation.

Humane Composition Pedagogy
by Tamara Luque Black Amber FosterHumane Composition Pedagogy (HCP) provides a pedagogical framework for reconciling the current disconnect between neoliberal higher education policies (sometimes called the &“business model&” of higher education) and the demand for kinder and more human-centered instruction. Humane education is a pedagogical model, with origins in secondary education, that considers emotional wellbeing, civic engagement, and intrinsic motivation as central to learning. The authors suggest that humane pedagogies can and should be adapted to higher education contexts, as a means of synthesizing literatures on the pedagogies of inclusion and care from noteworthy scholars including Jamil Zaki, Lisa Blankenship, Asao B. Inoue, Ruchika Tulshyan, and more. Without feeding a crisis narrative or calling for a complete systemic overhaul, HCP offers both an alternative to, and an act of resistance against, dehumanizing forces in today&’s colleges and universities. In exploring its three tenets–empathy, wellbeing, and belonging–the authors call for improved collaboration among key stakeholders (faculty, students, and administrators) to center the human experience in how we approach college instruction, thereby allowing universities to better fulfill their educational missions.
Humanizing Circular Supply Chain Management (Circular Economy and Sustainability)
by K. Mathiyazhagan Vernika Agarwal Veronica Scuotto Snigdha MalhotraThis book the improvements in the circular economy are discussed, and a multidisciplinary approach is taken to examine developments in the recovery of value in CSCM. This book's main goal is to give readers a platform on which to discuss the role of human resources in effective supply chain management in a circular economy and how it may be used. CSCM is a new way of conducting business that offers a waste-free and sustainable substitute to the economy. The concept of CSCM is often incomplete if the human capital aspect of it is not covered. Human resources" or "human capital" represents a person's skills, talents, qualifications, and experiences. Thus, it is inconceivable that the shift to a circular economy would be successful without a new strategy for managing human resources. The COVID-19 epidemic has heightened and realigned the value of human capital inside organizations, whether it is through remote work policies, greater attention to employee health benefits, staff morale, or well-being concerns. It has provided HR professionals with the ability to reevaluate their interactions with employees and has made room for innovative working methods. To end the loop of the linear economic model, sustainability and sustainable improvements are prioritized internationally in all facets of organizations. The book offers the latest deveopments of Circular Supply Chain Management and its applications. It describes the role of human resources in regulating supply chains in the circular economy. The "take-make-waste" economic model in CSCM is encouraging us to rebuild better HR and entrepreneurial policies, which will be vital in building a stronger and more resilient company culture that maintains the value of all resources and is required to get through these trying times. To achieve this goal currently there exists a gap between the present skill sets and the skills required in future to generate new innovation and/or set a new business. In turn, this would request Continuous investment in employees&’ development and training. Alongside, it involves a great attention on how humans are generating new innovations throughout the whole supply chain. At the moment, there is a focus on technologies and less consideration on humans in the field of supply chain management. Again, sustainability seems to be the new core of a company and its circulatory calls for a variety of human skills. In this scenario , the book's ultimate proposal is to give a research viewpoint that included views from policymakers, regulators, and practitioners. The book aims to address the significance of humanizing CSCM and also invites case studies on the topic. This book will meet the demands of research researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Also, it will serve as reference information for academics, researchers, and industry professionals.
