Navigating Black Joy for Black Women Leaders in Higher Education delves into lived experiences of Black women who resist structural oppression and inequity through the radical act of joy. Through deeply personal narratives, critical storytelling, and intersectional analysis, chapters explore how Black women cultivate, sustain, and embody joy as a transformative force in higher education and beyond.

Drawing on phenomenology, womanist theory, and culturally relevant pedagogy, contributors reveal how joy is intentionally rooted in resistance, resilience, and rest, forming a tapestry of strength and community, offering actionable strategies for fostering emotional resilience, equity, and authentic leadership.

This open access edited volume brings together original perspectives on the important topic of educational integration of refugees and newly arrived immigrants and discusses implications for policymakers and practitioners. It highlights that, despite significant migration movements in recent years, the body of research addressing school integration processes and the role of regulations and laws remains limited. These factors are considered important for early adaptation, long-term acculturation, and the overall integration of newly arrived immigrants.

The volume brings together qualitative and quantitative studies on educational participation in primary and secondary education as well as in vocational education and training. It also examines the challenges involved in acquiring second-language proficiency and achieving success across a range of school subjects. It explores the institutional conditions for the educational integration of refugees and newly arrived immigrants (particularly access to education, academic achievement, and attainment) across different host countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Sweden. It offers valuable insights and discusses potential implications for researchers studying educational opportunities of immigrant youth, as well as for policymakers and policy advisors.

From a prize-winning historian, the first comprehensive narrative history of Ashkenazi Jews: their culture, their religion, their daily lives, and their many migrations

Covering two millennia of history, from late antiquity to the twentieth century, this landmark volume by an eminent historian traces the long trajectory of Ashkenazi Jews, that branch of the Jewish people who migrated from the Levant into central and then eastern Europe. Because religion, in the form of rabbinic Judaism, played so central a role in the lives of almost all Jews before modernity, author Peter Schaefer examines the ways in which the institutions and practices of the rabbis were transplanted, and transformed, during these periods of migration. Schaefer describes the establishment and flourishing of centers of rabbinic learning and innovation in the new European homelands-places including Cologne, Frankfurt, Worms, and Troyes, the French home of the legendary medieval Talmudic sage Rashi. He discusses the long and often fraught period of intellectual, cultural, economic, and political exchange with the Christian majority, and chronicles such Jewish movements as kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), messianism (Sabbateanism) and (in the modern period) Jewish socialism ("Bundism") and Zionism.

The scope of Ashkenazi is vast, beginning with a portrait of Jews in the late Roman Empire and then mapping the first central European Jewish settlements in the tenth and eleventh centuries, the expulsions of the late fifteenth century, the subsequent migration to Russia, Lithuania, and Poland, followed by remigration westward in the nineteenth century after the start of Russian pogroms. Finally, Schaefer considers the impact of the Holocaust, and the founding of the state of Israel-which was spearheaded by Zionist leaders of largely Ashkenazi origins.

Chapters 8 and 9 have been completely revised to focus on the concepts of "value" in higher education and a student's view on affordability, respectively. Other chapters have been updated to reflect new approaches to funding and changes in understanding since the first edition.

Higher Education Finance Research: Policy, Politics, and Practice, Second Edition is designed to benefit not only students, professors, and practitioners but also policy analysts, legislative analysts, and others engaged in higher education finance at the state level.

A detailed commentary with a new translation that integrates intertextual, theological, literary, and historical perspectives

This historical and literary commentary on the Qur'an's first two surahs provides a structural analysis of the two texts, advances a novel theory of Surah 2's intricate redactional history, contextualizes the Qur'an among writings from the Biblical tradition, and considers a variety of other textual, linguistic, and theological issues. It offers the first comprehensive historical and literary commentary in English on Surah 2, the longest and most complex Qur'anic text. Both surahs have been newly translated by the author.

Surahs 1 (Surat al-Fati?ah, "The Opening") and 2 (Surat al-Baqarah, "The Cow") discuss such important theological notions as divine testing and divine foreknowledge; offer narratives about Adam, Abraham, Saul, and other figures; include polemics against Jews and Christians; and issue legislative commandments, with an emphasis on those relating to marriage and divorce. Building on his previous work, Key Terms of the Qur'an, Nicolai Sinai begins each surah commentary with an introductory overview, and then proceeds to a verse-by-verse exegesis. He pays particular attention to inner-Qur'anic parallels and doublets and to the resulting questions of textual chronology. Sinai's commentaries make selective use of interpretive resources found in premodern Islamic Qur'an scholarship. Short summaries follow the detailed exegetical treatment of each surah.

The Qur'an, like the Bible, is a sophisticated work of literature that employs artful compositional techniques. This volume offers an original exploration of what the Qur'an might have meant to its first readers and how the Qur'an draws on, engages with, and diverges from ideas, narratives, and literary forms that may have informed it. The book will be an indispensable resource for scholars of Islam and Qur'anic studies.

Navigating Academia as a Neurodivergent Academic sheds light on the various emotional and physical tolls that navigating an unsupportive academic landscape can take on neurodivergent researchers, with calls for systemic changes to better support neurodivergent people within higher education institutions. It also celebrates finding connection and purpose within neurodivergent research communities.

Delving into experiences of a global cohort of neurodivergent scholars as they navigate professional journeys, chapters draw on personal narratives, theoretical insights, and research conducted with and by neurodivergent academics. Opening with an overview of current challenges faced by neurodivergent scholars in a time that offers both increasing mainstream acceptance and systemic pressures that disproportionally harm neurodivergent staff, the editors highlight the complexities of navigating shifting institutional attitudes and policies. Subsequent chapters identify specific challenges faced by neurodivergent academics, from PhD scholars to academics in leadership positions, alongside intersecting issues relating to gender diversity and race. Each story brings a unique perspective, showing the wide variety of neurodivergent people and the challenges that they face, with common themes of navigating spaces, systems, and social and communication norms that can create barriers to people who experience the world in different ways.

Navigating Academia as a Neurodivergent Academic highlights the need for more inclusive spaces within higher education institutions for neurodivergent individuals, with particular emphasis on neurodivergent early career academics. However, it also celebrates the successes of neurodivergent people, including the joys of finding community, the relief of finally being understood, and the positive changes neurodivergent academics are able to make when they stand together.

Maritime transport is a key factor in the globalisation process where port cities play an essential role as edges of economic, technological, cultural, and institutional diffusion. Global supply chains depend on a complex network of port cities and are thus representative elements of economic structural shifts at national and regional levels.

This book explores the role of port cities as global actors since the end of the Second World War. It focuses on the morphological evolution of port cities, their economic functions, and cultural heritages. This volume incorporates case studies from regions around the world and analyses the differences and common features related to the global integration process. This edited collection offers a range of methodological approaches prepared by academics specialised in geography, history, economics, and urban planning.

Port Cities and Globalisation will be directly relevant to a wide variety of scholars and postgraduate researchers in the fields of transport studies and management, maritime logistics, port economics, as well as urban planning, regional development, and human geography.

Adopting an interdisciplinary and inclusive approach, leading experts provide insights into domestic and international challenges faced by policymakers and governing entities amid rising migration. They argue that, in the light of issues such as anti-migrant sentiment and social integration challenges, migration in Asia is not only shaped by economic factors and intra-regional dynamics, but also by widespread social change and shifting global geopolitics. The Handbook covers critical topics such as regional migration, differential skills policies, incorporation, and displacement and irregular migration, highlighting gaps in governance structures at global, regional, national and sub-national levels.

Timely and incisive, this Handbook is a crucial resource for scholars and students of migration, development studies, sociology and Asian politics. Policymakers and government officials will likewise benefit from its astute insights and practical recommendations.

The Law of Things examines how law operates not only through words but through things, systematically conferring upon the world, the State, the people, sex, race, nature, and culture a thingly materiality treated as outside language, representation, and perception. It argues that law, in thingifying what it encounters, makes use of a precritical and authoritarian epistemology that forecloses contestation across legal and political life.

Drawing on intellectual history, critical theory, poststructuralism, linguistics, and Science & Technology Studies, the book offers a wholly original framework for understanding how thingness functions as a mode of governance. It reveals the discursive mechanics by which law renders its objects aconstructed and self-evident, producing zones of uncriticability that silence the speaking observer and narrow the space of critique. Chapter by chapter, it defines thingification as a distinct epistemic operation, traces its lineage through the history of thought, diagnoses its contemporary resurgence, maps seven domains in which law endows what it encounters with thingness, exposes the fascist grammar that shadows such epistemologies, and develops a counter-posture (countermateriality) that upholds a minimal materiality necessary for law to remain a tool of interruption and resistance. The book thus does not merely lament the return of precritical thinking. It also defends the constructivist conditions under which critique itself can survive.

This book speaks to legal scholars, legal philosophers, intellectual historians, and critical theorists, as well as anyone engaged with contemporary debates in epistemology, discourse studies, and political thought.

Contributors examine the pedagogical, ethical, and political stakes of teaching terrorism and security from critical perspectives. Through a range of innovative approaches-including visual and creative methods, the use of technology to interrogate power structures, and the incorporation of videogames and playful tools-chapters demonstrate how to actively reframe the study of political violence. Grounded in real-world examples, the book also reflects on the future of teaching in an era of AI and digitalisation, arguing that meaningful transformation depends less on the tools we adopt than on the pedagogical commitments that shape their use.

Teaching Terrorism and Counterterrorism is an essential resource for instructors of terrorism, counter-terrorism, and security studies. It will also appeal to scholars and students in international relations, security studies, and public policy seeking fresh, practical ways to teach complex and sensitive topics.

The authors argue that student services must be approached through a growth mindset. They propose actionable, student-focused strategies using social support structures, boundary setting, fostering belonging and personal value systems. Readers will be inspired by the personal narratives of resilience from ten current and recent college students and the authors' own lived experience as a college administrator and a first generation student with a background in foster care, making this a nuanced and highly practical book. Readers are shown how institutions can implement organizational-wide changes to reinforce individual interactions that are strengths-based and trauma-informed, creating an open and supportive ecosystem.

How to Build Resilience in College Students is a crucial resource for college and university administrators, counselors and student services staff members. Faculty teaching in higher education and researchers focusing on young people will also benefit from the evidence-based insights and practical recommendations.

This volume offers a comprehensive examination of language policy and planning (LPP) across the Arabic-speaking world, from historical Arabization to contemporary digital revitalization.

Using comparative case studies in education, justice, public services, conflict zones, and higher education, it explores key tensions such as diglossia versus dialect equity, English-medium instruction versus mother-tongue rights, and Modern Standard Arabic standardization amid Tamazight resurgence. The chapters examine implementation gaps, institutional capacity, and innovative tools such as register-aware NLP, while also addressing minority languages, conflict-sensitive governance, and globalization's linguistic hierarchies. Bridging theory and practice, the book presents evidence-based mechanisms including annual reviews, theory-of-change monitoring, and capacity-before-scale to achieve equitable outcomes and linguistic justice.

Essential for scholars of sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, Middle Eastern studies, and policy practitioners, it fosters inclusive dialogue to preserve the region's rich multilingual heritage.

The first collection to address the role of the oceanic in literary texts and traditions from across the Nordic region, this book explores applications of ecocriticism, postcolonial theory, new materialism, and gender studies at a time when interest in marine ecosystems and their vulnerabilities to anthropogenic climate change is generating new theoretical insights and interest across the humanities.

The Nordic countries with their long coastlines and archipelagic geographies have long histories of seafaring and mariculture. This book simultaneously introduces Nordic literatures about the sea to international scholars with an interest in the oceanic and blue humanities to scholars working within Scandinavian/Nordic Studies. Its historical sweep incorporates the work of Nordic writers of particular significance for European and world literature, such as Henrik Ibsen and Tove Jansson; it also explores texts known chiefly within the Northern countries, including contemporary literature engaging with the sea; and historical texts, such as the Icelandic sagas and Early Modern seafaring guides. The book takes an innovative geographical orientation, grouping chapters to correspond to the various pelagic ecosystems that surround the Scandinavian Peninsula and connect it to the rest of the globe.

The combination of canonical and lesser-known texts with key theoretical approaches makes the volume ideal for teaching. With its broad historical and theoretical scope, The Sea in Nordic Literature is a valuable resource for scholars and students in blue humanities, Scandinavian and Nordic studies, and comparative literature.

Chapters assess welcoming initiatives across Europe, evaluating how those that engage with migrant newcomers contribute to economic, political and social prosperity in their respective localities. Identifying factors that limit the success of welcoming initiatives, such as fragmentation and challenges in scaling support, contributors illustrate how progress is constrained beyond the local level. This Modern Guide highlights the need for new criteria to define community belonging, based on people's contributions to their community rather than legal or normative assumptions of belonging. Analysing how migrant newcomers and long-term residents can integrate into a diverse and cohesive community, authors present methods for learning from comparison and scaling up initiatives.

Innovative and timely, A Modern Guide to Migration and Spatial Justice in Europe is a crucial resource for students and scholars of geography, anthropology, sociology, politics and public policy, as well as urban and regional studies. Policymakers will also benefit from its insights into social justice action.

The volume also includes a lecture on psychoanalytic technique from the 1940s, together with several texts on the life and work of Princess Marie Bonaparte, a close friend and collaborator of Embiricos. Complementing these writings are an interview in which Embiricos reflects on his psychoanalytic practice, and four scholarly essays examining key dimensions of his psychoanalytic career and intellectual legacy.

Bringing together clinical material, historical documents, and contemporary scholarship, this unique collection will be of interest to psychoanalysts as well as to scholars of the history of psychoanalysis, Surrealism, Greek literature, and European intellectual and cultural history.

A concise, accessible, and engaging introduction to the complex interplay between climate change and human migration, this book provides key analysis of the scientific, social, political, and economic factors of climate migration.

Keeping away from dense theories and jargon, Climate Change, Migration, and the Global Search for Home details the primary causes and consequences of human-driven climate disruption, the evolution of climate science, from early observations to today's advanced data collection methods, to the real-world impacts, including extreme weather events and shifts in ecosystems. Informed by the voices of scientists in the Global South, who provide a much-needed perspective on this important topic, this book presents key concepts in a clear, relatable way, providing the foundational knowledge needed to engage with one of the most pressing issues of our time.

This book offers a fresh approach that connects complex ideas to real-world relevance, fostering a deeper engagement with this critical topic, by speaking directly to students and newcomers seeking deeper insight into climate migration by meeting them where they are in a way that resonates with them.

Consciousness is widely regarded as one of the final frontiers of the human intellectual journey. Despite efforts in psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, many issues remain elusive and intractable. This book identifies ten problems, five "easy" and five "hard," and navigates the challenging terrain of these issues.

The so-called easy problems are by no means straightforward; they are only relatively easy in the sense that current scientific methods can make steady progress on them. Topics covered in the first half of this book include attention, cognition, neural correlates, neural mechanisms, and perceptual perspectives. The so-called hard problems are those that cannot be readily tackled by current standard scientific methods. Those in the second half of the book include subjectivity, objectivity, reasons, persons, and freedom of the will. Each chapter deals with one topic and is coupled with one specific research question. In answering these questions, the author proposes several non-fundamental theories which are not intended to be definitive.

This book provides an intellectual roadmap for novices and experts alike and will stimulate further interdisciplinary research programmes in consciousness studies.

This book investigates public corruption in Africa and the attempts to curb it, moving from histories and legacies through to the challenging conditions in which anti-corruption agencies operate today.

Contributors include leading scholars, as well as policymakers and civil society practitioners and workers in anti-corruption agencies, in order to build a picture which is both evidence-based and grounded in real-world experience. Taking case studies from across the continent, the book seeks to build an integrated picture of the issue. Key themes include the challenges posed by public theft and fraud, the urgent need for transparency and accountability in public figures, and the work of anti-corruption agencies in developing measures and laws to combat and prevent corruption.

At a time when corruption in many parts of the continent remains rife despite most countries having ratified the UN convention on preventing and combatting corruption, this book will be an important guide for researchers across the fields of African Studies, Political Science, and Global Development.

Simon Susen's trilogy offers a systematic account of Juergen Habermas's Also a History of Philosophy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the central issues at stake in this magnum opus and, crucially, assesses its most significant limitations and shortcomings.

Susen shows how Habermas's approach to the history of philosophy seeks to reconstruct the genealogy of postmetaphysical thinking by tracing the tension-laden relationship between faith and knowledge back to the major developments brought about during the Axial Age. The trilogy examines how Habermas's latest project invites us to reconsider not only classical antinomies - such as faith vs. knowledge, the sacred vs. the profane, religion vs. science - but also the role of philosophy in the twenty-first century, particularly with regard to its capacity to overcome the tension between 'ideologization' [Verweltanschaulichung] and 'scientization' [Verwissenschaftlichung]. This endeavour, Susen argues, sheds light on the extent to which the emancipatory potential of rational freedom, far from being reducible to a mere product of the Enlightenment, has been present throughout human history - most notably in the processes of 'the linguistification of the sacred' in advanced civilizations during the first millennium BCE. Informed by a meticulous analysis of the Epilogue to the original German-language edition - which contains valuable insights into Habermas's retrospective reflections on his main arguments and engages with the reception of his ambitious theoretical enterprise - this definitive trilogy serves as an essential guide to one of Habermas's seminal works.

The third volume, The Critique of Postmetaphysical Thinking, presents a set of critical reflections on Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie and provides a rigorous assessment of Habermas's endeavour.

This trilogy is for all those in the social sciences and humanities studying and researching classical and contemporary social theory, the sociology of knowledge, the sociology of religion, political sociology, cultural sociology, social and political philosophy, epistemology, the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of history, the philosophy of language, and the history of social and political thought.

This book argues that post-truth discourses are deeply influencing political debates on migration and border security, blurring the line between fact-based debates and post-truth storylines.

Offering a nuanced analysis of discourse within parliamentary debates on migration across multiple EU countries and the European Parliament, the book challenges conventional assumptions about the drivers of post-truth, highlighting its role in legislative settings rather than solely in informalised public fora like social media. It illuminates the presence and use of post-truth narratives and the pervasiveness of post-factual politics at the centre of democratic policy-making processes, namely parliamentary debates, and highlights how certain post-truth structures become embedded into mainstream political debates and policies.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and professionals in migration policy/studies, political communication, communication studies, and more broadly to public policy, European studies, media studies, international relations and sociology.

This monograph draws on literary and archival texts to explore the variegated experiences of survivors of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. It focuses on muktijouddhas and their mothers, survivors of sexual violence, and women freedom fighters. The chapters analyse freedom fighter memoirs, women's testimonials, and fictional texts to complicate the dominant nationalist discourse on the Liberation War that celebrates the male muktijouddha while marginalising women's experiences. In so doing, the monograph provides alternative readings of the Liberation War and South Asian history. The monograph will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian Literature, Culture and History, as well as Gender Studies and Peace and Conflict Studies.

This book provides a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the U.S. federal land system, explaining how public lands are used and managed.

The federal government owns more than a quarter of all American land, encompassing national parks, forests, wildlife preserves and monuments. These federal lands are an essential feature of America's politics, culture, and economy, and their management is at the core of U.S. environmental policy. This book enables readers to engage with the public lands by describing the law and policy of land management. It begins with an ecological and historical overview before detailing the categories of public lands as well as the various agencies that oversee them, including the National Park Service, the Fish & Wildlife Service, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. It explains the basic legal authority for land management and discusses the current priorities codified in American law. The final chapters discuss key issues, questions, and challenges facing Federal lands, such as climate change, wildfire, biodiversity, recreation, and mining. Each chapter concludes with study questions and recommendations for further reading.

This book will be essential reading for students, scholars, and citizens interested in the federal lands, natural resource management, human geography, public policy, and environmental law. It will be of great to use to those who have or envision a career in land and resource management, particularly in the United States.

This book will also be of interest to practitioners in nonprofit and public service sectors, and faculty members looking to advance their understanding and infuse AI literacy in their courses.

Providing multidisciplinary insights and analysis of decarbonisation within complex landscapes, the contributing authors discuss case studies in non-urban geographies across Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America, and the Arctic. The book argues that, although rural and remote areas will host significant decarbonisation activities and infrastructure, regulation and policy often overlooks their unique opportunities and challenges for energy transformations. Chapters propose critical recommendations for policy and regulatory reform, acknowledging the distinct characteristics of these frontier areas and advocating for their increased participation. The book explores new research agendas informed by socio-legal and policy perspectives to ensure stakeholders in these regions receive sustained and enduring benefits.

Combining contributions from an impressive range of leading geographically diverse scholars, this book is an essential resource for researchers and students of environmental law, energy policy, development studies and sustainable development. Practitioners of energy law and energy transitions will likewise benefit from its pragmatic policy recommendations.
