In 2015, students at the University of Cape Town demanded the removal of a statue of Cecil Rhodes, the imperialist, racist business magnate, from their campus. The battle cry '#RhodesMustFall' sparked an international movement calling for the decolonisation of the world's universities. Today, as this movement grows, how will it radically transform the terms upon which universities exist? In this book, students, activists and scholars discuss the possibilities and the pitfalls of doing decolonial work in the home of the coloniser, in the heart of the establishment. Subverting curricula, enforcing diversity, and destroying old boundaries, this is a radical call for a new era of education. Offering resources for students and academics to challenge and resist coloniality inside and outside the classroom, Decolonising the University provides the tools for radical pedagogical, disciplinary and institutional change.

In an information age of youth social movements,Youth Media Mattersexamines how young people are using new media technologies to tell stories about themselves and their social worlds. They do so through joint efforts in a range of educational settings and media environments, including high school classrooms, youth media organizations, and social media sites. Korina M. Jocson draws on various theories to show how educators can harness the power of youth media to provide new opportunities for meaningful learning and \"do-it-together production.\" Describing the impact that youth media can have on the broader culture, Jocson demonstrates how it supports expansive literacy practices and promotes civic engagement, particularly among historically marginalized youth. InYouth Media Matters, Jocson offers a connective analysis of content area classrooms, career and technical education, literary and media arts organizations, community television stations, and colleges and universities. She provides examples of youth media work-including videos, television broadcasts, websites, and blogs-produced in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, and St. Louis. At a time when educators are increasingly attentive to participatory cultures yet constrained by top-down pedagogical requirements, Jocson highlights the knowledge production and transformative potential of youth media with import both in and out of the classroom.

Zusammenfassung Die Chirurgie steht vor bedeutenden Herausforderungen, die sowohl aus Veränderungen in der medizinischen Ausbildung als auch aus der sinkenden Attraktivität des chirurgischen Berufswegs für angehende Ärzt:innen in der westlichen Welt resultieren. So haben sich die Erwartungen der Studierenden an ihren zukünftigen Arbeitsplatz geändert, wobei Themen wie Unsicherheiten in der beruflichen Planung, eine unausgewogene Work-Life-Balance sowie eine fehlende Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf zunehmend relevant sind. Auch der Eintritt der Generation Z in das Berufsleben wird Auswirkungen auf die Chirurgie haben. Obwohl Frauen den größten Anteil der Absolvent:innen ausmachen, entscheiden sich nur wenige von ihnen für eine chirurgische Laufbahn. Der daraus resultierende Nachwuchsmangel wird die medizinische Versorgung in deutschen chirurgischen Kliniken negativ beeinflussen. Ein intensiver Wettbewerb um Talente zeichnet sich bereits in allen medizinischen Fachgebieten ab. So ergreifen Kliniken verschiedene Maßnahmen gegen den bevorstehenden Personalmangel, wie z. B. „Summer Schools“ oder Stipendien mit Arbeitsverpflichtungen. Darüber hinaus werden regionale Fördergesetze etabliert. Da insbesondere ein abnehmendes Interesse an chirurgischer Weiterbildung im Studienverlauf zu verzeichnen ist, ist zudem eine frühe Integration chirurgischer Fähigkeiten ins Medizinstudium entscheidend, um diesem Trend entgegenzuwirken. Aus diesem Grund haben wir den „Surgical Track“ entwickelt, der gezielt innovative Lehrkonzepte anbieten soll, um Studierende frühzeitig für das Fach Chirurgie zu begeistern. Dieser basiert auf den Säulen der Virtual Reality (VR) und der Robotik. Studierende können durch VR-Simulationen Operationen und Notfallszenarien trainieren sowie praktische Übungen mit Robotersystemen absolvieren. Qualitativ hochwertige Ausbildungskonzepte wie der „Surgical Track“ können dazu beitragen, Begeisterung für die Chirurgie zu fördern und gleichzeitig Wissen zu vermitteln, auch wenn ihr langfristiger Nutzen noch evaluiert werden muss. Durch virtuelle Simulationen, robotische Chirurgie und innovative Lehre erhalten Studierende Einblicke in die Viszeralchirurgie, die theoretisches Verständnis und praktische Erfahrung miteinander vereinen.

Media competes with public schools in terms of student engagement and time. However, the two needn't be mutually exclusive. The Pedagogy of Pop: Theoretical and Practical Strategies for Success discusses a variety of strategies and approaches for using social and mass media as tools through which teachers might improve schooling. While there is a vast body of literature in this field, editors Edward A. Janak and Denise Blum have created a text which differs in two substantive ways: scope and sequence. In terms of scope, this work is unique in two facets: first, it presents both theory and practice in one volume, bridging the two worlds; and second, it includes lessons from secondary and postsecondary classrooms, allowing teachers on all levels to learn from each other. In terms of sequence, The Pedagogy of Pop draws on lessons from both historical and contemporary practice. The introductory section of Janak and Blum's collection presents a pair of papers that use somewhat different approaches to examine the historical roots of contemporary critique. Part I presents a series of chapters designed to provide guidelines and theories through which educators on all levels can think about their practice, focusing more on the \"why\" of their approach than the \"how.\" Part II presents a more \"hands-on\" approach by sharing a variety of specific strategies for incorporating pop culture in all its forms (technology, music, television, video games, etc.) in both secondary and postsecondary classrooms. The conclusion shows the praxis of teaching with popular culture, presenting a counterpoint to current thinking as well as a case study of the best of what can happen when popular culture is applied effectively.

This book discusses the significance of late twentieth century and early twenty first century American fiction written in response to the AIDS crisis and interrogates how sexual identity is depicted and constructed textually. Pearl develops Freudian psychoanalytic theory in a complex account of the ways in which grief is expressed and worked out in literature, showing how key texts from the AIDS crisis by authors such as Edmund White, Michael Cunningham, Eve Sedgwick - and also, later, the archives of The ACT UP Oral History Project - lie both within the tradition of gay writing and a postmodernist poetics. The book demonstrates how literary texts both expose and construct personal identity, how they expose and produce sexual identities, and how gay and queer identities were written onto the page, but also constructed and consolidated by these very texts. Pearl argues that the division between realist and postmodern, and gay and queer, respectively, is determined by whether the experience expressed and accounted is mediated through the psychoanalytic categories of mourning or melancholia, and is marked by a kind of coherence or chaos in the texts themselves. This study presents an important development in scholarly work in gay literary studies, queer theory, and AIDS representation.

Im Zeitraum 2005-2009 untersuchten die Autoren 2115 Zeitschriftenaufsätze aus 19 türkischen Fachzeitschriften für Bildungsforschung, um gewisse Trends in der türkischen Bildungsforschung auszumachen. Ein Ergebnis der Untersuchung ist die Konzentration der Forschung auf folgende Forschungsthemen: Unterrichtstechnologie, Unterricht in den MINT-Fächern, sowie Orientierung und Beratung in der Bildung. Außerdem überwiegten quantitative Forschungsmethoden. Weitere Ergebnisse finden sich im Artikel. [Zusammenfassung: Redaktion Bildung Weltweit]. \"This study focused on educational research papers published from 2005-2009 in journals listed in SSCI and the ULAKBIM database in Turkey. Study types, research methods, investigated specific topics, used data collection tools, employed data analysis methods, and utilized types of samples and sampling methods were analyzed. A total of 2115 papers published in 19 Turkish educational research journals (5 of them listed in SSCI and 14 listed in ULAKBIM) were subjected to content analysis by using the 'Educational Research Papers Classification Form (ERPCF)'. The results showed that most of the studies belonged to the disciplines of instructional technology, science education, guidance and counselling, and mathematics education. Regarding the research methods, it was found out that quantitative studies predominated within educational research. Turkish educational researchers commonly used quantitative data collection tools and descriptive analysis methods. The most frequently studied samples participants were undergraduate students and teachers. The comparative results for the papers published in the journals listed in SSCI and ULAKBIM showed that there was no significant difference in terms of either the research methods employed or the data analysis methods used between the two indices.\" [Abstract: Site editor's information].
