Co-Learning in Higher Education : Community Wellbeing, Engaged Scholarship, and Creating Futures
Co-Learning in Higher Education addresses topics critical to the future of higher education: the wellbeing of communities, engagement of scholars supporting new generations of social activists, and the renewal and expansion of educational and career pathways.It develops a theory of co-learning that engages students and professors across generations in partnerships with community organizations, schools, and corporations that solve emerging social and environmental challenges.Collaboratively written cases discuss community projects, engaging pedagogies, and action research projects.These co-cases demonstrate the power of using critical pedagogies and social action within troubling contexts, rather than assuming public policy changes are the only solution.Contributors explore mentoring, discuss pedagogies that promote community wellbeing and equity, address the urgency of change in universities, and reflect on the implications of this chaotic period for empowering social agency among youth in rising generations.This is a timely volume for scholars and students in higher education and educational policy.

Community Matters : The Complex Links Between Community and Young People's Aspirations for Higher Education
Working towards equity of access to higher education remains a fundamental issue of social justice.Despite substantial efforts to redress historical exclusions via a wealth of government and institutional policies, longstanding enrolment patterns persist and new forms of inequality have emerged in a deeply stratified system. Community Matters: The Complex Links Between Community and Young People’s Aspirations for Higher Education offers a new lens on equity of access.The policy focus, nationally and globally, on widening participation for under-represented target groups too readily treats such groups as if they have a singular voice, a singular history, and a singular set of concerns.Drawing on the perspectives of Australian school students, their parents/carers, teachers, and a vast array of residents from seven diverse communities, this book uses the lens of ‘community’ to reframe inequitable access.It does so by recognising the complex social and cultural forces at play locally that shape how young people form and articulate their post-school futures. In light of unprecedented challenges facing the higher education sector, this book interrogates dominant understandings of ‘widening participation’ and ‘aspiration,’ and offers timely insights about the broader economic, social, and cultural backdrop of aspiration formation.It is a valuable resource for academics and students interested in the sociology of higher education and for practitioners working at the forefront of equity policy and practice.

Chosen : Lost and Found between Christianity and Judaism
'Absorbing, fascinating, arresting' The Observer 'Intensely moving, luminous and rather magnificent' The TimesIt was one of the most startling moments in the history of the City of London.In 2011, the Occupy movement set up camp around St Paul's Cathedral.Giles Fraser, who was Canon Chancellor of the Cathedral, gave them his support.It ended in disaster. This remarkable book is the story of the personal crisis that followed, and its surprising consequences.Finding himself caught between the protesters, the church and the City of London, Fraser resigned, and was plunged into depression.As his life fell apart and he battled with ideas of suicide, he found himself by chance one day in Liverpool, outside the great Victorian synagogue once presided over by a distant ancestor.Suddenly Fraser realized that there was a great deal he did not know about himself, about his relatives and about his Jewish roots. Fraser calls this book 'a ghost story' and it is a book which is indeed filled with many ghosts.His search into his family's Jewish past makes this both a fascinating personal story and a wonderful piece of writing about theology.It is a book about the deepest, most ancient elements in our culture, and the most modern and intimate.It is throughout alive with the charm and intellectual vigour which have made Fraser such an admired and controversial preacher and broadcaster.

The Book of Esther between Judaism and Christianity
The book of Esther is one of the most challenging books in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, not only because of the difficulty of understanding the book itself in its time, place, and literary contexts, but also for the long and tortuous history of interpretation it has generated in both Jewish and Christian traditions.In this volume, Isaac Kalimi addresses both issues. He situates 'traditional' literary, textual, theological, and historical-critical discussion of Esther alongside comparative Jewish and Christian interpretive histories, showing how the former serves the latter.Kalimi also demonstrates how the various interpretations of the Book of Esther have had an impact on its reception history, as well as on Jewish-Christian relations.Based on meticulous and comprehensive analysis of all available sources, Kalimi's volume fills a gap in biblical, Jewish, and Christian studies and also shows how and why the Book of Esther became one of the central books of Judaism and one of the most neglected books in Christianity.

What is the difference between learning and education?
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and understanding through various experiences, interactions, and self-study. It is a lifelong process that occurs both inside and outside of formal educational settings. Education, on the other hand, refers to the structured and systematic process of imparting knowledge, skills, and values to individuals through institutions such as schools, colleges, and universities. While learning can take place in a variety of informal and non-traditional ways, education typically follows a more formalized curriculum and is often guided by specific learning objectives and outcomes.

What is the connection between learning, upbringing, and education?
Learning, upbringing, and education are interconnected in that they all contribute to the development and growth of an individual. Upbringing shapes a person's values, beliefs, and attitudes, which in turn influence their approach to learning and education. Education provides the formal structure and guidance for learning, while learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and understanding. Together, they form a continuous cycle that shapes an individual's intellectual, emotional, and social development.

What is a faith community and what is the difference between religion and faith community?
A faith community is a group of people who come together to practice and share their beliefs, values, and traditions. It is a place where individuals can find support, guidance, and a sense of belonging based on their shared faith. The difference between religion and a faith community is that religion refers to a specific set of beliefs and practices, often organized around a particular deity or deities, while a faith community is the group of people who come together to practice and share those beliefs and practices. In other words, a faith community is the tangible, human aspect of a religion, where individuals come together to live out their shared faith in community with one another.

Harvest of Faith : Understanding Between Islam and Judaism
In this book I have tried to disperse the dark clouds that have always hidden the sunny and pleasant skies of good relationships among the followers of Ibrahimian religions.Considering unpleasant events which have happened in the past, reaching this aim will not be easy but it will not be impossible either...Judaism, Islam and Christianity are the three great religions and the faithful followers of monotheism - the belief in only one God.We share together the same supreme Ruler of the Universe yet centuries of strife have left a terrible legacy of suspicion and conflict.Indeed, with current events in the world as they are, the seemingly constant tensions and conflicts which divide the faithful often overwhelm the actions of those who seek tolerance and reconciliation.Youssef Khakshouri, a Jew from Orumia in Iran, has studied the great Holy Books for all his long and productive life.In simple and refreshingly direct prose he explains the history of the Holy Books, their often startingly similar beliefs and the manner in which confusion and ignorance of each other's faiths has allowed conflict to overcome co-operation. It is his profound belief that only by understanding the real meaning of the great works of religious prophecy will we begin to understand that more unites us than divides us, and understanding this is the only true path to tolerance and peace.

The Race between Education and Technology
An incisive history of American education—its great success in creating prosperity and equality during the twentieth century and its relative decline since the 1970s. “As Goldin and Katz have argued, the 20th century was the American century in large part because it was the human-capital century.Education—knowledge—can help people live better by allowing them to learn from past errors and make new discoveries.” —David Leonhardt, New York TimesThis book provides a careful historical analysis of the co-evolution of educational attainment and the wage structure in the United States through the twentieth century.The authors propose that the twentieth century was not only the American Century but also the Human Capital Century.That is, the American educational system is what made America the richest nation in the world.Its educational system had always been less elite than that of most European nations.By 1900 the U.S. had begun to educate its masses at the secondary level, not just in the primary schools that had remarkable success in the nineteenth century. The book argues that technological change, education, and inequality have been involved in a kind of race.During the first eight decades of the twentieth century, the increase of educated workers was higher than the demand for them.This had the effect of boosting income for most people and lowering inequality.However, the reverse has been true since about 1980.This educational slowdown was accompanied by rising inequality.The authors discuss the complex reasons for this, and what might be done to ameliorate it.

Modernism and Religion : Between Mysticism and Orthodoxy
Modernism and Religion argues that modernism participated in broader processes of religious change in the twentieth century.The new prominence accorded to immanence and immediacy in religious discourse is carried over into the modernist epiphany.Modernism became mystical. The emergence of Catholic theological modernism, human rights, Christian sociology, and philosophical personalism, which are explored here in relation to the work of David Jones, T.S. Eliot, and H.D., represented a strategic attempt on the part of diverse religious authorities to meet the challenge posed by new mysticism. Orthodoxy was itself made new in ways that resisted the secular demand that religion remain a private undertaking.Modernism and Religion presents the mechanical form and clashing registers of long poems by each of the aforementioned writers as an alternative to epiphanic modernism.Their wavering orthodoxy brings matters from which the secular had previously separated religion back once more into its purview.

Intellectual and Cultural Property : Between Market and Community
This book focuses on the fraught relationship between cultural heritage and intellectual property, in their common concern with the creative arts.The competing discourses in international legal instruments around copyright and intangible cultural heritage are the most obvious manifestation of this troubled encounter.However, this characterization of the relationship between intellectual and cultural property is in itself problematic, not least because it reflects a fossilized concept of heritage, divided between things that are fixed and moveable, tangible and intangible.Instead the book maintains that heritage should be conceived as part of a dynamic and mutually constitutive process of community formation.It argues, therefore, for a critically important distinction between the fundamentally different concepts of not only intellectual and cultural heritage/property, but also of the market and the community.For while copyright as a private property right locates all relationships in the context of the market, the context of cultural heritage relationships is the community, of which the market forms a part but does not – and, indeed, should not – control the whole.The concept of cultural property/heritage, then, is a way of resisting the reduction of everything to its value in the market, a way of resisting the commodification, and creeping propertization, of everything. And, as such, the book proposes an alternative basis for expressing and controlling value according to the norms and identity of a community, and not according to the market value of private property rights.An important and original intervention, this book will appeal to academics and practitioners in both intellectual property and the arts, as well as legal and cultural theorists with interests in this area.
