This book was released on 2024-08-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various challenges prevent many emerging economies, including those within Latin America, from exploring the full potential of science, technology, and innovation. One major issue is the global need for a comprehensive understanding of science diplomacy and its role in bridging gaps in these crucial areas.

By focusing on real-world cases and practical insights, this book provides a roadmap for policymakers, diplomats, and researchers to harness the power of science diplomacy for sustainable development. Whether you're a researcher looking to deepen your understanding of science diplomacy or a policymaker seeking actionable strategies, this book offers a valuable resource. It highlights the importance of international engagement and collaboration in achieving development objectives, particularly in the context of the scientific diaspora and emerging economies. Through this lens, the book offers innovative solutions and strategies applied in Latin America and other regions facing similar challenges.

Download or read book Decolonizing the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South written by Kleber Aparecido da Silva and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconceives the internationalization of higher education from the perspective of Global-South researchers, empowering and giving visibility to this discourse. Challenging the first assumptions of internationalization of higher education (IHE) as something overwhelmingly positive owing to the way it directly impacts the university activities and their world rankings, it instead takes a critical perspective, acknowledging that this process is associated with a neo-liberal and colonial orientation that focuses on the maintenance of historically sustained hierarchy, oppressive relations that stimulate the production of knowledge, and education as a commodity and not as a factor of social transformation. As such, it challenges recent trends towards an increase in internationalization strategies within higher education that privilege Global-North outgoing mobilities and research collaborations to sustain the position of the educational institutions in the international rankings. From this locus, IHE is seen to evolve not only in the fields of teaching, research, and service of an educational institution but also to boost the world’s social development. The book thus illustrates how IHE should be guided by Critical Applied Linguistics (CAL) and Global South’s principles: applied linguistics, praxis, critical thinking, micro and macro relations, critical social inquiry, critical theory, problematizing givens, self-reflexivity, preferred futures, and heterosis. Comprising chapters that discuss academic, political, and administrative issues arising specifically from the internationalization process of Global-South higher education institutions as well as themes such as critical language education and language policies, it will appeal to faculty, researchers, and scholars with interests in higher education, international and comparative education, and the decolonization of education.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment written by Beatriz Bustos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment provides an in-depth and accessible analysis and theorization of environmental issues in the region. It will help readers make connections between Latin American and other regions’ perspectives, experiences, and environmental concerns. Latin America has seen an acceleration of environmental degradation due to the expansion of resource extraction and urban areas. This Handbook addresses Latin America not only as an object of study, but also as a region with a long and profound history of critical thinking on these themes. Furthermore, the Handbook departs from most treatments on the topic by studying the environment as a social issue inextricably linked to politics, economy, and culture. The Handbook will be an invaluable resource for those wanting not only to understand the issues, but also to engage with ideas about environmental politics and social-ecological transformation. The Handbook covers a broad range of topics organized according to three areas: physical geography, ecology, and crucial environmental problems of the region. These are key theoretical and methodological issues used to understand Latin America’s ecosocial contexts, and institutional and grassroots practices related to more just and ecologically sustainable worlds. The Handbook will set a research agenda for the near future and provide comprehensive research on most subregions relative to environmental transformations, challenges, struggles and political processes. It stands as a fresh and much needed state of the art introduction for researchers, scholars, post-graduates and academic audiences on Latin American contributions to theorization, empirical research and environmental practices.

Download or read book A Woven Book of Knowledge written by Gail P. Silverman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for their intricate textiles, the Q'ero are a traditional Quechua-speaking Peruvian highland people. Their weavings are full of symbolic elements and motifs that encode specific cultural information and their textiles are the repositories for knowledge that has been passed down through generations. Based on ethnographic fieldwork undertaken between 1979 and 1991, A Woven Book of Knowledge examines and compares regional weaving styles and discusses the general texture of highland life. The author's long involvement with members of the Q'ero community has provided unique opportunities for insight into their ideas about weaving, iconography, and spatial and temporal concepts. But A Woven Book of Knowledge is more than an ethnographic study. If the warp of the book is the academic rigor of anthropology and linguistics, the weft is Silverman's love for the textiles themselves and for the Q'ero people. It is a result of a passion that has kept her in Cuzco for years, dedicating her career to the study of the local textile tradition.

Download or read book M s inteligente que el m todo de Napole n Hill Ideas desafiantes para el xito del libro M s inteligente que el diablo written by MAX EDITORIAL and published by Max Editorial. This book was released on 2024-04-13 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro de Napoleón Hill "Más inteligente que el diablo" sirvió como un faro para muchos en busca de esta comprensión. Sin embargo, a medida que asimilamos las poderosas lecciones de este libro, se nos insta a ir más allá, profundizar más y desafiar aún más nuestras ideas preconcebidas. Es con este espíritu que presento este libro electrónico, un complemento sin precedentes al trabajo de Hill, titulado " Más inteligente que el método de Napoleón Hill: Desafiando las ideas del éxito en el libro "Más inteligente que el diablo" - Vista ampliada ". Aquí exploraremos conceptos, estrategias y reflexiones que van más allá de lo discutido en "Más inteligentes que el diablo", ofreciendo una visión más contemporánea y profunda sobre cómo alcanzar el éxito en nuestras vidas. Revisando las enseñanzas de "Más inteligentes que el diablo": una crítica constructiva Aunque "Más inteligente que el diablo" de Napoleón Hill se ha convertido en un clásico de la literatura de autoayuda, revisando sus enseñanzas a la luz de la experiencia y el conocimiento contemporáneos, podemos identificar puntos que merecen un análisis crítico. 1. La búsqueda ciega del éxito: Hill enfatiza la importancia del deseo ardiente y la perseverancia para lograr el éxito. Sin embargo, esta búsqueda desenfrenada puede llevar a la obsesión, descuidando otros aspectos importantes de la vida como las relaciones, la salud mental y el bienestar. Es crucial buscar el éxito con equilibrio y consideración, reconociendo que la felicidad no se limita a los logros materiales. 2. La visión dicotómica del diablo: La caracterización del "diablo" como una entidad personificada que impide el éxito puede interpretarse como una visión simplista de la realidad. Las dificultades y obstáculos que encontramos en la vida suelen ser el resultado de factores complejos, como circunstancias socioeconómicas y estructurales e incluso mala suerte. Atribuir todos los impedimentos a una fuerza externa puede conducir a la victimización y la pasividad. 3. Falta de énfasis en la empatía y la cooperación: El enfoque individualista del libro, si bien es motivador, no reconoce la importancia de la colaboración y la empatía en el camino hacia el éxito. Construir relaciones sanas y la capacidad de trabajar juntos son elementos esenciales para el crecimiento personal y profesional en una sociedad cada vez más interconectada. 4. La ausencia de reflexión crítica: "Más inteligente que el diablo" propone una visión acrítica del éxito, ignorando los matices y dilemas éticos que pueden surgir en su consecución. Es fundamental desarrollar una postura crítica que cuestione las motivaciones detrás del éxito y evalúe el impacto de sus acciones en el mundo y las personas que lo rodean. 5. La necesidad de adaptarse a los cambios: Escrito en un contexto histórico específico, el libro no contempla los cambios sociales, tecnológicos y económicos que dan forma al mundo contemporáneo. Al revisar sus enseñanzas es necesario adaptarlas a la realidad actual, reconociendo nuevos desafíos y oportunidades. "Smarter Than the Devil" ofrece valiosas ideas sobre la importancia del autoconocimiento, la disciplina y la perseverancia. Sin embargo, es importante revisar sus enseñanzas con sentido crítico, reconociendo sus limitaciones y adaptándolas a las realidades y desafíos del mundo contemporáneo. La búsqueda del éxito debe equilibrarse con otros aspectos de la vida, priorizando la ética, la empatía y la responsabilidad social. Aprenda mucho más...

Download or read book Rising Up Living On written by Catherine E. Walsh and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rising Up, Living On, Catherine E. Walsh examines struggles for existence in societies deeply marked by the systemic violences and entwinements of coloniality, capitalism, Christianity, racism, gendering, heteropatriarchy, and the continual dispossession of bodies, land, knowledge, and life, while revealing practices that contest and live in the cracks of these matrices of power. Through stories, narrations, personal letters, conversations, lived accounts, and weaving together the thought of many—including ancestors, artists, students, activists, feminists, collectives, and Indigenous and Africana peoples—in the Americas, the Global South, and beyond, Walsh takes readers on a journey of decolonial praxis. Here, Walsh outlines individual and collective paths that cry out and crack, ask and walk, deschool, undo the nation-state, and break down boundaries of gender, race, and nature. Rising Up, Living On is a book that sows re-existences, nurtures relationality, and cultivates the sense, hope, and possibility of life otherwise in these desperate times.

This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes biographical information on Carlos Prieto, his contributions to music, as well as a detailed catalog of 72 pieces commissioned and/or dedicated to him. A graduate of MIT and a former director of Fundidora, the biggest steel company in Mexico, Carlos Prieto decided at the age of 38 to abandon his career as a business man and become a full time professional cellist. Since then he has premiered over 90 pieces, most of them commissioned and/or dedicated to him by Latin-American composers. These commissions and dedications represent about 50 percent of the music written for the cello by Latin-American composers. This is the first time a study has been conducted on this body of music.
