‘Educational research in India focuses, very often, on improving pedagogical practices. This volume attempts to link educational processes and progress with broader issues of economic and social development from comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives. The discussions on equity and inclusion, gender, marginalisation and employability contextualise the issues to be prioritised for education policy and research in India. It brings together young researchers and their critical analyses and understanding, and the volume makes a good contribution to deepen our understanding of the discourses on educational research in India.’
 
N.V. Varghese, Vice-Chancellor, National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration, New Delhi, India
 
 
‘When young researchers come together, look at the landscape of education in India with heightened critical consciousness and empirical details, and raise sociologically relevant questions, I see a possibility, or a language of hope. Yes, this edited volume expands our horizon, and makes us see the prevalent practice of education while being deeply aware of the dynamics of caste and patriarchy, or urban marginalities and regional variations. A book of this kind is bound to activate the socio-political and pedagogic imagination of educationists, teachers and researchers.’

This pivotal moment in Myanmar’s history poses the question of whether solidarity against military rule can produce a society with justice for all ethnic and religious groups. This volume illuminates both the potential of this movement and its challenges by centering the experiences of minoritized ethnic and religious groups and their negotiations of Burmese Buddhist dominance.

"Fearing the state of being ‘lost in the world we have made,’ Williston roams far and wide for reference points in a time of bewildering climatic upheaval. With grand, Harari-like sweeps, this insightful romp through philosophy, literature, ecology, and technology displays the creative boldness the times demand." -- Christopher J. Preston, University of Montana, Missoula. Author of The Synthetic Age: Outdesigning Evolution, Resurrecting Species and Reengineering our World.

"An accessible and engaging analysis of the ways in which the climate crisis is analogous to other, historically significant ‘traumas.’ This is a vitally important topic, and I applaud Williston for his creative approach to bringing its philosophical aspects to a broad readership." -- Steven Nadler, William H. Hay II Professor of Philosophy, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Author of　Think Least of Death: Spinoza on How to Live and How to Die.

"This lucid analysis of the crisis in Western thinking generated by climate change shows how previous historical disruptions have led to the kind of innovations in thought that we now urgently need. It should be read carefully by anyone wondering how to think and act in our new Anthropocene circumstances." -- Simon Dalby, Balsillie School of International Affairs. Author of Anthropocene Geopolitics: Globalization, Security, Sustainability.

"A timely, accessible, smart, and informed discussion of the climate crisis, and our disorienting exit from the Holocene. Williston shows why philosophy matters in these times, how it can be done with passion and rigour, and what wisdom looks like for all of us worried about the future of life." -- Todd Dufresne, Lakehead University. Author of The Democracy of Suffering: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe, Philosophy in the Anthropocene.
"An intriguing examination of five philosophers and the current climate crisis… Williston proposes that human beings can look to the history of philosophy to find 'a new orientation and sense of energy' - as well as the long-term, big-picture thinking that’s needed now and far into the future… Although the text explores a number of complex scientific, technological and philosophical topics, Williston succeeds in making his arguments cohesive and accessible." -- Kirkus Reviews

"In this beautifully crafted book, Dr. Qin provides valuable insights into the significant growth area of cross-border education, with a focus on China. China is leading the world in developing cross-border educational initiatives, with over 1.5 million graduates of such programmes to date. And yet, very little is still known about the social dimensions of these initiatives (far more work has concentrated on their economic components). This book draws on impressive qualitative, multi-sited fieldwork, comprising over 80 in-depth interviews with students and university staff, plus a review of related policy documents, to examine the partnerships between one Chinese university and its overseas ‘partners’. The book provides a unique ‘socio-cultural’ perspective, focusing on both the individual and the organisations involved and engaging with the quotidian interactions and experiences that constitute such cross-border collaborations. This book will undoubtedly be of interest to anyone working in the fields of international higher education, sociology of education, educational policy and social geographies of education." -Johanna L. Waters, Professor of Human Geography, University College London

"Building Cross-border Joint Universities in China is an important study. Meticulously researched and carefully argued, it is the kind of scholarly work which can change the way we think about its topic. China’s higher education at this time is exceptionally open-minded and internationalised, yet when it goes out to the world, it does not cease to be Chinese. It provides an alternative model to the standard Euro-American approaches, and given the global weight of the Chinese economy and the depth of educational capability in China, that model will become increasingly influential. The future in international education will not be the same as the past. Dr. Qin Yunyun helps to take us to that future." -Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford, and Director of the Centre for Global Higher Education 

"An important contribution to our understanding of the dynamic higher education landscape in contemporary China. With rich empirical data and deep theoretical engagements, Qin dissects the nature and working of a cross-border joint-university. The book charts the complex relationships and tensions among the key institutions ? ranging from the state to the family ? in this new education model. Qin’s careful analysis underlines the importance of context, and the transformative power of borders, which explain the ever changing geographies of education."-Maggi Leung, Associate Professor, Utrecht University 

"This book investigates an important form of cross-border higher education: cross-border jointly-established universities. By examining the complex interactions between such universities and their social context, this research addresses an enduring question in comparative education: the interrelations between internationalization and localization. How to position Chinese and Western traditions in higher education? Is it possible to build universities integrating various cultural traditions, how and why? Without giving definite answers, this book is a good start and has opened doors to more discussion and further research."-Yingjie Wang, Professor at School of International and Comparative Education, Beijing Normal University 

"Dr. Qin’s book focuses on the organizational dynamics of cross-border cooperation in higher education, which is timely, important and relevant in the China’s advocacy of ‘the Belt and Road Initiative’ and ‘Greater Bay Area Development’. This study has developed a framework, which might be used to examine similar cross-border joint-universities in both China and other countries, thus has significance in understanding the changes and future of global higher education."-Dinghua Wang, Professor at Graduate School of Education, Beijing Foreign Studies University 

"This book provides an good example to investigate interactions among different governance systems originated from different cultural and social traditions. What are the possible results of interactions? Institutional imitation, integration, transformation or innovation? This book has offered opportunities to understand the complex process of institutionalization of modern university system in China in an globalized era." -Huimin Qin, Professor at Graduate School of Education, Beijing Foreign Studies University

‘This book is an important intervention in early modern studies. Dismantling the caricature of the period’s Catholic theology as staid and oppressive, this volume highlights the innovation and creativity that was taking place, which saw the Church spread globally and help set theological courses that would rise to prevalence in the modern period.’
