Book excerpt: Casting Gender puts forward a vision of theatre, storytelling, and the performance of the everyday function within the lived spaces of its performers and audiences, asking how women artists/scholars embody meaning, carry social value, and constitute possible identities. Drawing on scholarship in intercultural communication, performance studies, women's studies, and cultural studies, this collection of new, critically informed research advances our understanding of how theater works as intercultural communication and as a vehicle for change. Casting Gender offers varied locations and sites of research, highlighting the rich diversity of women's cultural identities, roles, and societal positions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is difficult to fathom the myriad changes that have occurred and that influence the content of this book in just three years since the previous edition. As this book goes to press, we have witnessed many nations in Europe as well as the United States that have made dramatic political shifts from open and liberal leanings to more populist, nationalistic and conservative ideologies. These shifts have been accompanied by an increase in xenophobia and stricter actions to reduce immigration, often accompanied by a rise in anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic sentiment. The conflicts and struggles in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria continue, as tensions between the United States and Russia fester. A questioning of Truth, with an onslaught of "fake news," has emerged, having a major influence on the 2016 U.S. presidential election. And we expect numerous changes to occur under the new U.S. Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. And these challenges are in the political arena alone. Across the planet people continue to feel the stresses of the seemingly endless changes and challenges they confront on many fronts. Climate change continues to advance resulting in new and unpredictable weather patterns despite a vocal minority that appears to deny its existence. Although making gains, people continue to wrestle with questions surrounding same-sex marriage and gay rights; the question of health care, the accelerated identification of children with autism and other disabilities, as well as our aging population span cultural differences and cut across geographic, political, and social boundaries, continuing to impact us all at the local, national, and global levels. Some people are eager to embrace innovation and change while others struggle through a variety of political and social means to retain older and more traditional ways of doing things. Such challenges continue to enter and impact our increasingly culturally diverse classrooms and communities. To effectively address and solve the multitude of issues we face it is incumbent upon teachers to provide young people with a foundation that will assist them to better understand the complex nature of the world in which they will live while developing the skills that will enable them to be proactive problem solvers in an interdependent, global society. This requires people who have the knowledge, skills, and motivations to reach beyond their own cultural boundaries and a willingness and ability to collaborate with others. If people are not willing and able to do so, these, and other future problems, simply will not be solved. Developing intercultural understanding and competence must be actively addressed throughout the school curriculum. This tenth edition of Human Diversity in Education: An Intercultural Approach, continues to focus on the preparation of teachers and other human-service providers who can interact effectively with the wide diversity of people they are certain to encounter and who are able to transmit this knowledge and skill to the individuals in their charge"--

Download or read book Interculturality in Education written by Fred Dervin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the decades-long use of the notion of interculturality in education and other fields, arguing that it is now time to move beyond certain assumptions towards a richer and more realistic understanding of the ‘intercultural’. Many concepts such as culture, identity and intercultural competence are discussed and revised. Myths about interculturality are also unpacked and dispelled. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, this book proposes a very useful framework to address theoretical and methodological issues related to interculturality. This somewhat provocative book will be of interest to anyone who wrestles with this knotty but central notion of our times.

Download or read book Intercultural Education and Literacy written by Sheila Aikman and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1999-03-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples around the world are calling for control over their education in order to reaffirm their identities and defend their rights. In Latin America the indigenous peoples, national governments and international organisations have identified intercultural education as a means of contributing to this process. The book investigates education for and by indigenous peoples and examines the relationship between theoretical and methodological developments and formal practice. An ethnographic study of the Arakmbut people of the Peruvian Amazon, provides a detailed example of the social, cultural and educational change indigenous peoples are experiencing, an insight into Arakmbut oral learning and teaching practices as well as a review of their conceptualisations of knowledge, pedagogy and evaluation. The models of intercultural education being promoted by Latin American governments are, nevertheless, biliterate and school-based. The book analyses indigenous and non-indigenous models based on different conceptualisations of culture and curriculum in the context of the Arakmbut search for an education which respects their dynamic oral cultural traditions and identity, provides them with a qualitatively relevant education about the wider society and addresses the intercultural lives they lead.

Download or read book Diversities and Interculturality in Textbooks written by Kaisa Hahl and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Textbooks are crucial in shaping today’s global and diverse world. They can contribute to making it both ‘better’ and more ‘intercultural’, but also, on occasion, create limited and biased ideas about the ‘Other’. This collected volume undertakes multidisciplinary research into textbooks, taking one of the best education systems in the world – Finland – as an example. The authors investigate the issue of diversities in textbooks from multiple perspectives, disciplines, school levels and content areas. Together, the chapters provide examples of hidden ideologies, (neo-)stereotyping and othering when looking beneath the surface of texts and illustrations. The authors also present concrete tools that can be used for analysing diversities and interculturality in textbooks. In addition, the chapters will serve to develop teachers’ and students’ abilities to encounter diversities and similarities in ways that enhance their sensitivity, self-reflexivity and criticality. This volume will be of interest for students in educational sciences; pre-service teachers and in-service teachers of various school subjects; teacher educators; and researchers in the areas of subject didactics, multicultural and intercultural education, language education, educational leadership, curriculum, and policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book is intended to help teachers, teacher administrators, policy makers and others deal with the important issue of religious diversity in Europe's schools. The religious dimension of intercultural education is an issue that affects all schools, whether they are religiously diverse or not, because their pupils live and will work in increasingly diverse societies. The book is the main outcome of the project 1The Challenge of intercultural education today: religious diversity and dialogue in Europe', developed by the Council of Europe between 2002 and 2005. It is in four parts: theoretical and conceptual basis for religious diversity and intercultural education; educational conditions and methodological approaches; religious diversity in schools in different settings; examples of current practice in some member states of the Council of Europe.
