"Dealing with inequality and maximising chances for all children requires the best education can muster. However, in practice we see an enormous amount of time and talent of both teachers and students wasted. Taking a Lean perspective helps to empower teachers and improve educational outcomes. Close to a thousand schools, supported by the leerKRACHT-foundation, experience this power of Lean every day. This book adds a valuable new perspective on Lean and education."
Jaap VersfeltFounder of leerKRACHT and former senior-partner at McKinsey & Company

"Professor Wiegel's workshops provided inspiration and plenty of lightbulb moments on how to transform university education to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century."
Dr. Lizann BonnarVice Dean (Academic), Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of StrathclydeSenior Teaching Fellow, School of Psychological Sciences and Health, University of Strathclyde

"The application of Lean in education has historically focused on nonacademic and academic support processes. Wiegel provides the first insightful, comprehensive, and practical approach integrating Lean in the core academic processes of teaching, learning, and curriculum development. This book provides a framework, based on research and practice, which demonstrates how faculty, academic programs, and educational institutions can apply Lean as a strategy to the mutual benefit of students, teachers, and the educational process."
William K. Balzer, Ph.D.Professor of Industrial – Organizational PsychologyVice President, Faculty Affairs and Strategic InitiativesBowling Green State University

"Workshops delivered by Professor Wiegel quickly clarify how powerful the use of Lean management philosophy is in the context of Education. His expertise and enthusiasm is inspiring."
Professor Debbie Willison, Ph.D. CChem FRSC PFHEAVice Dean (Academic), Faculty of Science University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland

"As the Chair of Lean HE and as a lean practitioner here in Edinburgh Napier University I am so excited about Vincent's new book. We know how Lean can unlock many benefits for universities and I have seen real improvements with applying Lean approaches in universities. Many Lean practitioners focus on the office operational and service processes upon which universities, their students, teachers, and researchers rely. Vincent's work cuts to the heart of education however, focusing on the learning process itself. As a leader in designing innovative educational processes, Vincent is in a unique position to tell this story, which has the real potential to transform how we educate our people at every stage andcritical to how we approach the challenges ahead of us."

Lean in the Classroom

'Fabulous and fascinating! How do we move forward in a world of catastrophes? How do we stay human when there seems to be no hope of a better world? How do we stay hoping in a world of growing inhumanity? How do we get out of here? Azumi Tamura’s study of radical activism in Japan after the Fukushima nuclear disaster breaks all national frontiers and goes to the heart of the battle between hope and hopelessness that rages (really rages) in all the world. Read it.' - John Holloway, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla&nbsp;'Azumi Tamura's book manages to bring together Japanese social movements and Deleuzian social theory in way that is revealing, insightful and provocative. Japan has been a neglected area for social movement research and this book brings to light what has been missing from the discipline. It traces currents of resistance from the late 1960s in to the upsurge of activism after the Fukushima disaster, and offers us new ways of conceiving the role of social movements in contemporary informationalised societies.' - Graeme Chesters, Associate Professor in Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Bradford

Vom Sinn des Erzählens

‘Bridging the gap between research and practice sounds easy but can be immensely challenging. In this thoughtful and accessible book, Lila Kossyvaki uses her personal experience to show how research can truly inform real world practice to benefit children with autism and a range of learning difficulties. This book will be of interest and utility to researchers, practitioners and parents alike.’ - David Preece, Associate Professor, University of Northampton, UK.

‘This book will contribute to the field of research into practice for autism and many other communication difficulties for many years. It is a treasure trove for anyone embarking on research in this field. The central premises of increasing the spontaneous initiatives of children along with the focus on the co-creation of new knowledge are important.’ - Hilary Kennedy, Educational Psychologist, Lead Developer of Video Interaction Guidance , Honorary Senior Lecturer, UCL, UK.

'Lila Kossyvaki’s Adult Interactive Style Interventions (AISI) is a timely reminder that if we’re going to teach children with autism how to communicate effectively, it takes two to talk. That is, that adults who are working with children who will by definition struggle with communication, must be aware not only that they hold the key, but how to use that key to unlock the potential riches. When one considers that the book also contains considerable, very well researched yet easy to read backgrounds and explanations of every autism intervention known to man, this becomes a must have book for teachers, support workers, therapists, carers, parents and researchers working in the field of autism.' – Peter Imray, Special Educational Needs Training and Advice, UK. 

'Writing up research done for a PhD in a way that will appeal to more general readers is a real challenge. This book reflects the author’s passion to communicate the findings from her ground-breaking doctoral research in a way that is accessible and practically useful for a range of professionals. I hope that teachers and others are excited by the changes which Lila and the staff she worked with saw in the communication of some very hard to reach children, and inspired to try the methods she has developed for themselves. Lila has certainly provided all the information which anyone who wants to try out Adult Interactive Style Intervention for themselves will need. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is concerned to increase the communication and social of children with learning difficulties and autism.' - Jean Ware, Reader in Education (Special Educational Needs), Bangor University, UK.

'Schwartz expands the interdisciplinary dialogue between the psychoanalytic and trauma/ dissociation communities that treat people subject to traumatic attachment, mind control, thought reform, coerced perpetration and, complicity in all of these. The author synthesizes the overlapping clinical traditions of trauma/ dissociation theory, contemporary/ relational psychoanalysis, archetypal models (Jungian and Buddhist/ transpersonal psychology), cult/ ritual abuse/mind control treatment, and child soldier demobilization with specific therapeutic actions... This book is a welcome addition to the literature and is meant to be read pensively, pondered and thoughtfully considered.'- Barney Greenspan, PhD, ABPP, Journal of Trauma and Dissociation, February 2015
'The Alchemy of Wolves and Sheep provides breakthrough persepctives to allow previously unknown points of access to better understand and treat some of the most intractable conditions of the human spirit...If clinicians are able to comprehend and work with the populations that are mentioned throughout this book, then working with other types of traumatized individuals should be a piece of cake. For this reason alone The Alchemy of Wolves and Sheep is worth its weight in gold.' - Robert Grant, The Therapist,November 2014
'This outstanding scholarly work explores aspects of humanity which are often deemed unthinkable. It gives new meaning to ‘holding the space’ for healing in profoundly difficult contexts and speaks of transformation. It will resonate with anyone who is concerned about atrocities against children, especially clinicians who work with child and adult survivors of complex trauma and mind control.' - Sue Richardson, UKCP registered Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

The Alchemy of Wolves and Sheep: A Relational Approach to Internalized Perpetration in Complex Trauma Survivors

This is not just the best study of Western human rights policy toward China and of informal human rights dialogue in print; it is also one of the best microanalyses of a sensitive contemporary policy issue that I have ever read.
-- Andrew Moravcsik, Professor of Politics and Director, European Union Program at Princeton University. Foreign Affairs
Dr Kinzelbach has performed a valuable service to all those interested in human rights diplomacy. Not only does she provide vital, new, information on the form and content of the EU-China human rights dialogues, but she also reaches sobering and well-substantiated conclusions that confirm that these dialogues do not fulfil their ostensible purpose of improving China's human rights record. She also suggests it is time to seek alternative approaches in this important policy sphere. This book represents a major contribution to our understanding of EU-China relations and of how human rights diplomacy is conducted in the contemporary era.

-- Rosemary Foot, MA, PhD, FBA, Professor of International Relations, and Sir John Swire Senior Research Fellow, St Antony's College, Oxford

Human Rights has been one of the most contentious and vexed issues in the relationship between the EU and China, marked by deep differences and the lack of an agreed common framework. In this book, Katrin Kinzelbach gives a meticulous critique of the ups and downs of the various dialogue rounds in this area between the two. She outlines the history of the talks, the drivers behind them, and their few successes and many failures. But she also looks deeper into the reasons behind why the dialogue has proved so difficult, and what this shows about both parties. Dr Kinzelbach is to be congratulated on producing such a clear, succinct and balanced treatment of an area which is dominated by much contention and misunderstanding. This stands as the definitive study of this hugely important subject.

-- Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Politics and Director of China Studies Centre, University of Sydney

Chinese diplomats have skilfully channeled much of the West’s effort to influence their country’s human rights record into formal government to government dialogues, whose proceedings are confidential. Kinzelbach has dug up information that reveals what happens behind the screen of EU foreign policy making on this important issue. She shows with admirable clarity how Chinese officials have taken advantage of European political divisions and organizational confusion to gain the upper hand over the scheduling, agendas, procedural rules, and rhetorical atmosphere of these meetings. In fascinating detail she portrays the frustration this has produced among European diplomats. Although the dialogues have been less and less productive for real human rights advances, both sides persist in holding them. For the EU they serve as a fig leaf for the lack of more effective policies. A model of objectivity and clarity, the study promotes a sophisticated understanding of UN, EU, and Chinese diplomatic goals and methods. It bears important lessons for all who seek to influence a rising China.

-- Andrew J. Nathan, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science, Columbia University
This brilliant study of Katrin Kinzelbach is the most thorough and well-informed analysis of almost 20 years of the EU's human rights dialogue with China. The book provides a rare and detailed insight into how the European Union conducts quiet human rights diplomacy. Her conclusions are devastating for the EU's approach towards China: The dialogue is found to be ineffective and even counter-productive. It yielded no meaningful results and should, therefore, either be discontinued or linked to specific political and economic conditions.
-- Manfred Nowak is Professor of International Law and Human Rights at Vienna University and presently Austrian Chair Visiting Professor at Stanford University.
This meticulously researched book examines the European Union's human rights dialogue with China between 1995 and 2010. Those who seek a short answer to the question of whether the EU's efforts have paid off could read the author's last few words in her conclusion chapter, which characterize the dialogue as "impotent." For those who have studied China's human rights diplomacy, the book confirms what they already know or suspect about the nature and effect of the discreet European doplomatic engagement with Bejing in the human rights area.
-- Ming Wan is Professor of Government and Politics and Director of the Political Science division at the School of Policy, Goverment and International Affairs at George Mason University, located in Fairfax, Virginia.

"This collection, rich in nuance, offers both visceral and intellectual pleasures. Shaped by diverse and sensitive ethnographies, Food, Senses and the City provides insights into the challenges of our times. Questions of belonging, gentrification, sustainability, humanity and authenticity, for example, emerge through the less usual prism of sensing knowledge in city spaces. Often the approach is vested in "entangled objects" – "the damp vegetal smell" of steamed tamales in Mexico, the deliciousness of greasy meat in a Romanian market. Such objects, similar to Seremetakis’ iconic disappearing peach, allow reflections on how we live and eat together, now and in the future."Jean Duruz, Adjunct Senior Research Fellow, Creative People, Products and Places Research Centre, University of South Australia; Affiliated Professor, Culinaria Research Centre, University of Toronto.
"Given a tendency in urban design to privilege the visual and in social science to focus on process, this fascinating book is a timely reminder that sensory approaches to food and place offer rich territories to consider cultural understandings of food and townscape. By exploring smell, taste, touch and hearing as ways of comprehending the interplay of food and cities, the authors establish a new nexus between food, urban space and the senses. This sensory exploration of food practices in diverse domains – ‘tactile, affective, visceral, and embodied’ – offers a fantastic read for anyone interested in understanding more about food and urbanism and is highly recommended."Susan Parham, Associate Professor, Director of University of Hertfordshire Urbanism Unit; Academic Director International Garden Cities Institute.
"Many recent works promise sensory ethnography…Food, Senses and the City delivers! The contributors to this collection explore urban foodscapes with creative methods, trenchant theorizing, and innovative writing, making this collection a pleasure to read. Through the food/senses/city nexus the authors explore the role of synesthetic conviviality and commensality in bridging distinctions, provoking memories, shaping 'place', and challenging rural/urban dichotomies and more static notions of identity. Will be of interest to scholars across a number of fields, including migration studies."David Sutton, Professor of Anthropology, Southern Illinois University. 
"Food, Senses and the City, edited by Ferne Edwards, Roos Gerritsen and Grit Wesser, is a book to be savoured first of all for its fare: from Thuringian festive cake to amba (the pungent Iraqui condiment) and from Colada de Uchu Jaku (a creamy flour-based soup of the Andes) to honey produced by urban bees (that is, bees who have been transposed by their keepers from the meadows of the countryside to Melbourne and other Australian metropolises). 
This book is also to be savoured for its ethnography – gustatory ethnography, with an accent on the multisensory, for taste is never simply an affair of the tastebuds, but also the aroma, the look, the acoustics, temperature, and mouth-feel of victuals. Catherine Earl’s chapter on Vietnamese cuisine is positively mouth-watering: the gustatory sensations roll off her tongue by means of her pen, mixed in with all the other sensations of the ambiances in which food is consumed. One of the main themes of the book is transferences between, for example, the rural and the urban, which is explored not only with reference to the bees but also food activism (putting producers and consumers in direct contact), urban gardening (a fast-growing trend), and foodie tourism (including slumming it, as in the case of middle class foodies who titillate their palate by trolling the eateries of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in search of crudities – the opposite of the delicate crudité). Of particular note is the way the contributors eschew phenomenology and focus on the politics of gustation, highlighting all the ways in which the sensory qualities of foodstuffs divide people (mainly due to smell but also texture) as much as unite them. While Food, Senses and the City is quite advanced in this respect, the contributors should nevertheless have been more conscientious about the ethics of cross-species consumption.
This book is above all a testimony to the productivity and richness of David Sutton’s concept of gustemology, the enculturation of taste that gives rise to worlds of flavour, a concept that puts paid to the increasingly outmoded notion of cultures as being distinguishable by reference to their "worldview," even with the rise of dining remotely via Instagram."David Howes, Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and Co-Director of the Centre for Sensory Studies, Concordia University, Montreal.
