Student Migrants and Contemporary Educational Mobilities
by Rachel Brooks Johanna WatersThis book explores questions around the meaning and significance of international student migration. Framed in relation to the mobilities – and immobilities – of international students, the book highlights various key themes emerging from the rich interdisciplinary scholarship in this area, including socio-economic diversification in mobile students, the differential value of international higher education, and citizenship and state-building projects. It also discusses the importance of considering ethics in relation to student migrants. This pioneering book will be of interest and value to scholars of student mobilities and the international student experience more widely, as well as practitioners and policy makers.
Student Movements for the Republic of Kosovo: 1968, 1981 and 1997 (Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements)
by Atdhe HetemiThis book analyzes the central vision of three student movements organized by different generations of Kosovo Albanian students in 1968, 1981 and 1997. By examining the dynamics of the demonstrations, the author explores the dimensions, forms and implications of student uprisings and resistance, as well as the struggles for dominance by local (Kosovo), federal (SFRY), regional (Albania and Serbia) and international actors (outside the Balkans). While these demonstrations were organized by students, the book shows that these were not necessarily academic but political, highlighting the impact that students had on society to demonstrate. It examines how the vision for “Republic” status or independence impacted the first and subsequent student movements. Moreover, due to the richness of the empirical data included, this book contributes toward further discussions on social movements, nationalism and state theories.
Student Movements in Late Neoliberalism: Dynamics of Contention and Their Consequences (Social Movements and Transformation)
by Donatella Della Porta Lorenzo Cini César Guzmán-ConchaThis book inquires into the global wave of student mobilizations that have arisen in the aftermath of the economic crisis of 2008, accounting for their historical and sociological significance. More specifically, its eleven chapters explore the role of students as political actors: their ability to build effective organizations, to make political alliances with other actors, and to win public consensus, as well as their impact on cultural, political, and policy outcomes. To do so, the volume examines case studies in England, Chile, South Africa, Quebec, and Hong Kong, covering Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and Latin America. Grouped into two major sections, the collection covers the organizational structures of student movements and their alliances and outcomes. Ultimately, this volume examines the understudied political aspects of student unrest, exploring how student mobilizations—driven by indebtedness, precariousness, the corporatization of the university, and other issues—correspond to larger processes of change with wider implications in society.
Student Resistance to Dictatorship in Chile, 1973-1990: 'Security to Study, Freedom to Live!' (Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements)
by Richard G. SmithThis book documents and analyses Chilean university and school students’ opposition to the Pinochet regime during the latter years of the 1970s and the 1980s. The book focuses on key episodes such as the establishment of cultural groups within the militarily controlled universities that enabled students to congregate and exchange ideas for the first time since the 1973 coup; how university and secondary school students created their own democratic institutions to challenge the regime-appointed bodies; and how these eventually led to the restoration of the national federations that had been banned by the military government. The author explores the key relationship between the vertically organised, underground political parties, and the horizontally organised, broad, non-partisan organisations created by the students, arguing that this structure brought advantages to the movement. The students’ contribution to the national protests in the 1980s ensured that opposition to the regime was highly visible in the city centre, resulting in a socially broadened opposition with a focus on youth, rather than disenfranchisement and poverty. Offering a detailed account of different forms of student activism, this book evaluates the role of school and university students within the broader anti-dictatorship opposition in Chile.
Student Retention and Success in Higher Education: Institutional Change for the 21st Century
by Mahsood Shah Liz Thomas Sally KiftThis book draws together international research to assess the quality of successful efforts to retain students. The editors and contributors unite diverse global research from countries who have led student retention and success projects at national, institutional, faculty or program level with positive outcomes. The book is underpinned by the philosophy that a more diverse student population requires higher education institutions to fundamentally change, in order to facilitate the success of all students. All of humanity, its economies and societies, are being pummelled by waves of pandemic-induced crises in tandem with globalisation and demographic shifts. Ultimately, this book acts as a clarion to higher education institutions to better support and retain their students, in order to create a more stable learning environment.
Student Success and Intersectionality at Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Policy and Practice
by Rosa M. Banda Jocelyn A. Gutierrez Nikola Grafnetterova Alonzo M. Flowers III Jarett T. LujanWith the influx of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) on the landscape of higher education, it has become apparent that institutional policy, practices, and procedures for student success must be understood from an empirical and practitioner standpoint. This edited book offers current scholar/practitioners the opportunity to evidence empirical-based strategies and practices at HSIs relating to student success.
Student Well-Being in Chinese Adolescents in Hong Kong
by Rachel C. F. Sun Daniel T.L. SHEK Tak Yan LeeThis book reviews the theories regarding commonly occurring developmental issues among Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong, the application of Positive Youth Development (PYD) to a large-scale primary prevention program and the impact of PYD on student well-being, indexed according to adolescent developmental issue. Using multiple strategies, it presents the overall constructs and frameworks supporting P. A. T. H. S. in response to the various psychosocial needs of Hong Kong's youth. Some of the issues covered include substance abuse, sexual behavior, internet addiction, bullying and cyber-bullying. The book argues for the effectiveness of the school-based program in promoting student well-being in modern Hong Kong society and will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, university instructors, researchers, social workers, pediatricians, youth workers, educators, administrators, psychologists, school principals and allied professionals looking to promote whole-person development in junior form students and especially those with an interest in education in China.

This research will be of interest to students and scholars of mobility, youth, employment and education.
Studienerfolg und Studienabbruch
by Hans-Dieter Daniel Martin Neugebauer Andrä WolterDie Sicherung des Studienerfolgs gehört zu den großen Herausforderungen für Hochschulen: Nach derzeitigen Schätzungen verlassen knapp 30 % aller Bachelorstudierenden die Hochschulen ohne Abschluss. Schon weil es sich um eine quantitativ so bedeutsame Gruppe handelt, sind Fragen nach den Ursachen und Folgen von Studienabbrüchen von hoher Relevanz – für Hochschulen und Bildungsforschung gleichermaßen. Trotz hoher Bedeutsamkeit wurde das Thema Studienabbruch durch die empirische Hochschulforschung bislang vergleichsweise wenig fokussiert. Seit 2017 fördert das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung daher in der Förderlinie „Studienerfolg und Studienabbruch“ 19 (Verbund-)Projekte, um mehr empirisch gesichertes Wissen zum Phänomen Studienabbruch zu generieren. Zum Ablauf der ersten Förderphase werden in diesem Sammelband die zentralen Erkenntnisse der Forschungsprojekte dargestellt.
Studienerfolgstypen in den Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften: Eine Analyse personenbezogener Bedingungsfaktoren im Studienverlauf
by Jasmin Reichert-SchlaxDurch aktuelle Herausforderungen wie hohe Studierendenzahlen wird es insbesondere in den großen Studiendomänen der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften zunehmend schwerer, die Lernbedarfe einzelner Studierender frühzeitig zu identifizieren und diese in der Lehre zu berücksichtigen. Die gleichzeitig starke Heterogenität der Studierendenschaft macht es erforderlich, Wege zu suchen, vulnerablen Gruppen über das generelle Lehrangebot hinaus spezifische Angebote zu machen, um die Studierenden adäquat zu unterstützen und somit ein erfolgreiches Studium zu ermöglichen. Das Erreichen individuellen Studienerfolgs ist schließlich ein zentrales Ziel der Hochschulbildung. Eine einheitliche Definition von Studienerfolg liegt jedoch bis heute nicht vor. Die vorliegende Untersuchung fokussiert zum einen die Bildung von Studienerfolgstypologien im Bachelorstudium unter Einbezug zahlreicher Facetten von Studienerfolg, und zum anderen die Prüfung der bisherigen Forschungsbefunde hinsichtlich personenbezogener Merkmale zur Prädiktion von Studienerfolg und damit zur Identifikation vulnerabler Studierendengruppen. Die Analyse zeichnet sich insbesondere durch das ganzheitliche theoretisch-konzeptuelle Studienerfolgsverständnis aus, das empirisch mittels clusteranalytischer Verfahren einer gemeinsamen Betrachtung zugänglich gemacht wird
Studieren unter Bedingungen des ökonomisierten Lehramtsstudiums: Eine rassismuskritische Perspektive auf Professionalisierungsprozesse angehender Lehrer*innen (Pädagogische Professionalität und Migrationsdiskurse)
by Dennis BarasiDie Studie geht der Frage nach, inwiefern eine rassismuskritische Professionalisierung von Lehramtsstudierenden unter den Bedingungen der sich im Lehramtsstudium verdichtenden ökonomisierten Studienstrukturen stattfinden kann. Hierzu werden Vermittlungsprozesse von Reflexionswissen und Kompetenzen unter den Bedingungen des Lehramtsstudiums aus rassismuskritischer Perspektive untersucht. Das Datenkorpus der Studie basiert auf umfangreichen, teilweise über zwei Semester reichenden Teilnehmenden Beobachtungen in erziehungswissenschaftlichen und physikdidaktischen universitären Lehrveranstaltungen. Demnach greift die Studie auf einen ethnographisch informierten Forschungsansatz zurück, bei dem aufgrund der spezifischen Feldbedingungen des Forschungsfeldes ‚universitäre Lehrveranstaltung‘ bereits während der Beobachtungen umfassende Notizen angefertigt werden konnten. Ausführliche Beobachtungsprotokolle wurden dann – basierend auf diesen Feldnotizen – unmittelbar nach den beobachteten Lehrveranstaltungen angefertigt. Forschungs-Gespräche mit beteiligten Studierenden ergänzen die empirische Grundlage der Studie. Die Studie folgt in Design und Auswertungsmethode dem Forschungsparadigma der Reflexiven Grounded Theory.
Studierendenmilieus und fachkulturelle Passung: Eine Analyse am Beispiel des Elitenetzwerks Bayern (Studien zur Schul- und Bildungsforschung #87)
by Katja KlebigMit der Öffnung der Hochschulen beginnen mehr Studierende aus unterschiedlichen Herkunftsmilieus ein Studium. Ob sie dabei erfolgreich sind, hängt nicht zuletzt von den angewählten Studienfächern ab. Denn es zeigt sich, dass die Fachwissenschaften ganz eigene habituelle Ansprüche an die Studierenden stellen, denen nicht jedes Studierendenmilieu adäquat begegnen kann. In dem Buch werden bildungsbezogene Habituszüge von Studierenden in vier unterschiedlichen Studiengängen qualitativ untersucht und zu den Anforderungen und Erwartungen der Studiengänge in Beziehung gesetzt.Die Autorin Katja Klebig ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Lehrstuhl für Sozialstrukturanalyse der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Die Dissertation war in der DFG-Forschungsgruppe „Mechanismen der Elitebildung im deutschen Bildungssystem“ (FOR 1612) assoziiert. Neben bildungssoziologischen Themen beschäftigt sie sich mit sozialer Ungleichheit, Milieuforschung, Habitusanalyse und qualitativ-rekonstruktiver Sozialforschung.
Studierendenzentrierte Hochschullehre: Von der Theorie zur Praxis (Perspektiven der Hochschuldidaktik)
by Jörg Noller Christina Beitz-Radzio Daniela Kugelmann Sabrina Sontheimer Sören WesterholzDer Sammelband geht den Fragen nach, was eigentlich studierendenzentrierte Lehre ist, welche konkreten Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung einer studierendenzentrierten Lehre auftreten und wie eine solche Lehre angesichts dieser Herausforderungen umgesetzt werden kann. Aber auch: Welche Hürden haben sich bisher als unüberwindbar erwiesen, und wie können Lehrende damit umgehen?
Studies in Contemporary Metaphysics (Routledge Revivals)
by R.F. Alfred HoernléOriginally published in 1920, this title wrestles with the critical conflict in modern philosophy of whether philosophers should employ pure reason in a world of abstracts or, rather, should rely upon experience and rationality to examine the actual world. Hoernlé argues for the latter and emphasises the importance of metaphysics in the intellectual quest for knowing reality. This title is ideal for students of philosophy and provides insightful background into the diverging philosophical views of the early 20th century.
Studies in Greek Philosophy, Volume I: The Presocratics
by Gregory VlastosGregory Vlastos (1907-1991) was one of the twentieth century's most influential scholars of ancient philosophy. Over a span of more than fifty years, he published essays and book reviews that established his place as a leading authority on early Greek philosophy. The two volumes that comprise Studies in Greek Philosophy include nearly forty contributions by this acknowledged master of the philosophical essay. Many of these pieces are now considered to be classics in the field. Perhaps more than any other modern scholar, Gregory Vlastos was responsible for raising standards of research, analysis, and exposition in classical philosophy to new levels of excellence. His essays have served as paradigms of scholarship for several generations. Available for the first time in a comprehensive collection, these contributions reveal the author's ability to combine the skills of a philosopher, philologist, and historian of ideas in addressing some of the most difficult problems of ancient philosophy. Volume I collects Vlastos's essays on Presocratic philosophy. Wide-ranging concept studies link Greek science, religion, and politics with philosophy. Individual studies illuminate the thought of major philosophers such as Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaxagoras, and Democritus. A magisterial series of studies on Zeno of Elea reveals the author's power in source criticism and logical analysis. Volume II contains essays on the thought of Socrates, Plato, and later thinkers and essays dealing with ethical, social, and political issues as well as metaphysics, science, and the foundations of mathematics.

Studies in Law and Politics (Essay Index Reprint Ser.)
by Harold LaskiThe essays that comprise Studies in Law and Politics are by and large academic. But Laski had a purpose in addition to the purely scholarly: he was eagerly pursuing possibilities for social and political change. Laski sought tirelessly for opportunities to act on those possibilities and, as is the case throughout his work, his academic and political purposes have no clear boundary between them.Studies in Law of Politics was published at a crucial juncture in Laski's ideological metamorphosis. During this period he had become increasingly worried that socialists might not be able to achieve the growth of working-class power. Although the essays contained in the volume cover a wide range of topics, and a wide span of time since the mid-1920s, he brought them into unity by a common approach. Though he does not make his unifying premise immediately evident to his readers, he clearly meant to chart the growth of power of those who had previously been without influence. His goal also was to identify the problems facing growth in a highly modernized society.Studies in Law and Politics reveals Laski's growing realization that the road to socialism might be more difficult than what he had believed when he wrote his pluralist works. The book reflects the mind of a thinker who was not content to write exclusively as an academic or a political activist. His view was that, while progressive reforms have been achieved in the past, they are not easily accomplished, and obstacles to further reforms should not be underestimated. This sober work offers much insight into Laski's intellectual development, as well as the times about which he wrote.
Studies in Legal History: Sovereignty, International Law, and the French Revolution (Studies in Legal History)
by Edward James KollaThe advent of the principle of popular sovereignty during the French Revolution inspired an unintended but momentous change in international law. Edward James Kolla explains that between 1789 and 1799, the idea that peoples ought to determine their fates in international affairs, just as they were taking power domestically in France, inspired a series of new and interconnected claims to territory. Drawing on case studies from Avignon, Belgium, the Rhineland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy, Kolla traces how French revolutionary diplomats and leaders gradually applied principles derived from new domestic political philosophy and law to the international stage. Instead of obtaining land via dynastic inheritance or conquest in war, the will of the people would now determine the title and status of territory. However, the principle of popular sovereignty also opened up new justifications for aggressive conquest, and this history foreshadowed some of the most controversial questions in international relations today.
Studies in Legal History: The Treason Prosecution of Jefferson Davis (Studies in Legal History)
by Cynthia NicolettiThis book focuses on the post-Civil War treason prosecution of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, which was seen as a test case on the major question that animated the Civil War: the constitutionality of secession. The case never went to trial because it threatened to undercut the meaning and significance of Union victory. Cynthia Nicoletti describes the interactions of the lawyers who worked on both sides of the Davis case - who saw its potential to disrupt the verdict of the battlefield against secession. In the aftermath of the Civil War, Americans engaged in a wide-ranging debate over the legitimacy and effectiveness of war as a method of legal adjudication. Instead of risking the 'wrong' outcome in the highly volatile Davis case, the Supreme Court took the opportunity to pronounce secession unconstitutional in Texas v. White (1869).
Studies in Logic and Probability (Dover Books on Mathematics)
by George BooleFrom one of the founders of symbolic logic comes this collection of writings on logical subjects and related questions of probability. George Boole invented Boolean logic, the basis of modern digital computer logic, for which he is regarded as a founder of the field of computer science. This authoritative compilation of his papers features his most mature thinking on Boolean logic and includes previously unpublished material.Appropriate for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, the contents range from The Mathematical Analysis of Logic to Boole's final works, including The Laws of Thought, the most systematic statement of his ideas on logic and probability. Boole had intended to create a follow-up volume but did not survive to fulfill his ambition; this volume features his further studies on the subject.
Studies in Metaphilosophy (Routledge Revivals)
by Morris LazerowitzFirst Published in 1964, Studies in Metaphilosophy presents and develop the hypothesis about the nature of metaphysical theories. Each study is a fresh attempt to improve our understanding of what a philosophical theory is and what its supporting arguments come to. Author argues that philosophical theories are nothing more substantial than linguistic chimeras and has the important function of pointing up the need for the examination of the whole subject. The volume discusses important themes like concept analysis, systematic doubt, the method of deduction from fact, logical necessitation, the nature of philosophical analysis, the nature of value, the metaphysical concept of space, Moore and philosophical analysis, the hidden structure of philosophical theories, and the relevance of psychoanalysis to philosophy. This volume will be an essential source for scholars and researchers of philosophy, logic, and metaphysics.
Studies in No-Self Physicalism
by Feng YeThis book demonstrates how a radical version of physicalism (‘No-Self Physicalism’) can offer an internally coherent and comprehensive philosophical worldview. It first argues that a coherent physicalist should explicitly treat a cognitive subject merely as a physical thing and should not vaguely assume an amorphous or even soul-like subject or self. This approach forces the physicalist to re-examine traditional core philosophical notions such as truth, analyticity, modality, apriority because our traditional understandings of them appear to be predicated on a cognitive subject that is not literally just a physical thing.In turn, working on the assumption that a cognitive subject is itself completely physical, namely a neural network-based robot programmed by evolution (hence the term ‘No-Self’), the book proposes physicalistic theories on conceptual representation, truth, analyticity, modality, the nature of mathematics, epistemic justification, knowledge, apriority and intuition, as well as a physicalistic ontology. These are meant to show that this No-Self Physicalism, perhaps the most minimalistic and radical version of physicalism proposed to date, can accommodate many aspects that have traditionally interested philosophers. Given its refreshingly radical approach and painstakingly developed content, the book is of interest to anyone who is seeking a coherent philosophical worldview in this age of science.
Studies in Pessimism
by Arthur SchopenhauerCollected here are nine short essays, On the Sufferings of the World, The Vanity of Existence, On Suicide, Immortality: A Dialogue, Psychological Observations, On Education, Of Women, On Noise, and A Few Parables, by the world renowned philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
Studies in Philosophical Realism in Art, Design and Education
by Neil C. M. BrownThis book fills a gap in the literature of 21st century international visual arts education by providing a structured approach to understanding the benefits of Philosophical Realism in art education, an approach that has received little international attention until now. The framework as presented provides a powerful interface between research and practical reconceptualisations of critical issues and practice in the domains of art, design, and education that involve implications for curriculum in visual arts, teaching and learning, cognitive development, and creativity. The book extends understanding of Philosophical Realism in its practical application to teaching practice in visual arts in the way it relates to the fields of art, design, and education. Researchers, teacher educators and specialist art teachers are informed about how Philosophical Realism provides insights into art, design, and education. These insights vary from clearer knowledge about art to the examination of beliefs and assumptions about the art object. Readers learn how cognitive reflection, and social and practical reasoning in the classroom help cultivate students' artistic performances, and understand how constraints function in students' reasoning at different ages/stages of education.
Studies in Plato's Metaphysics (Routledge Library Editions: Plato)
by R. E. AllenDid Plato abandon, or sharply modify, the Theory of Forms in later life? In the Phaedo, Symposium, and Republic it is generally agreed that Plato held that universals exist. But in Parmenides, he subjected that theory to criticism. If the criticism were valid, and Plato knew so, then the Parmenides marks a turning point in his thought. If, however, Plato became aware that there are radical differences in the logical behaviour of concepts, and the later dialogues are a record of his attempt to analyse those differences, then Plato’s thought can be said to have moved in a new and vitally important direction after the Parmenides. Studies in Plato’s Metaphysics brings together twenty essays by leading philosophers from the UK and the USA reflecting upon this important issue and upon the questions arising from it.
