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.

Yiddish Paris : Staging Nation and Community in Interwar France
Yiddish Paris explores how Yiddish-speaking emigrants from Eastern Europe in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s created a Yiddish diaspora nation in Western Europe and how they presented that nation to themselves and to others in France.In this meticulously researched and first full-length study of interwar Yiddish culture in France, author Nicholas Underwood argues that the emergence of a Yiddish Paris was depended on "culture makers," mostly left-wing Jews from Socialist and Communist backgrounds who created cultural and scholarly organizations and institutions, including the French branch of YIVO (a research institution focused on East European Jews), theater troupes, choruses, and a pavilion at the Paris World's Fair of 1937. Yiddish Paris examines how these left-wing Yiddish-speaking Jews insisted that even in France, a country known for demanding the assimilation of immigrant and minority groups, they could remain a distinct group, part of a transnational Yiddish-speaking Jewish nation.Yet, in the process, they in fact created a French-inflected version of Jewish diaspora nationalism, finding allies among French intellectuals, largely on the left.

Civil Religion Today : Religion and the American Nation in the Twenty-First Century
Moves the discussion of American civil religion into the twenty-first century Civil Religion, a term made popular by sociologist Robert Bellah a little over fifty years ago, describes how people might share in a sacred sense of their nation.While hotly debated, the idea continues to enjoy wide application among academics and journalists.Bellah used civil religion to make sense of the turmoil of the 1960s, especially moral debates provoked by the Vietnam War.Now, a half-century later, American society is again riven by conflict over immigration, economic inequality, racial oppression, and “culture wars” issues.Is Bellah's hopeful assessment still useful for understanding contemporary America?If not, how should we think of it differently?Civil Religion Today reassesses the term to take stock of its usefulness after fifty years of engagement in the field.Looking both at the concept and at ground-level studies of how we might find civil religion in practice, this book aims to push the conversation forward, considering how and in what ways it is helpful in our current social and political context, evaluating which parts are worth keeping, which can be reformulated, and which can now be usefully discarded.It suggests we go “beyond Bellah” in theory and practice, thinking about American society in a new century.

What is the simplest nation?
The concept of the "simplest nation" is subjective and can be interpreted in different ways. In terms of population size, the Vatican City is the smallest nation in the world with a population of around 800 people. In terms of land area, the smallest nation is Monaco. Both of these nations are small in size and population, making them simple in terms of scale. However, simplicity can also be interpreted in terms of government structure, economy, and cultural diversity, which may vary among different nations.
