This encyclopaedia showcases the explanatory power of Marxist
educational theory and practice. The entries have been written by
51 leading authors from across the globe. The 39 entries cover an
impressive range of contemporary issues and historical
problematics. The editor has designed the book to appeal to readers
within the Marxism and education intellectual tradition, and also
those who are curious newcomers, as well as critics of Marxism. The
Encyclopaedia of Marxism and Education is the first of its kind. It
is a landmark text with relevance for years to come for the
productive dialogue between Marxism and education for
transformational thinking and practice.
Although reading can be regarded as an isolated and private
endeavor, the white space in the margins of a printed book or the
comments section at the end of an online article can provide a
welcomed space for interaction. Annotation and marginalia share
similar meanings: a reader's contribution to a text, which might
consist of alphabetic, image, and video content. While it has
always been more common to think of this strategy in the context of
a student and a textbook, it is being more widely used through
online communications, such as commenting on, "liking," and sharing
social media posts. The behaviors of readers as they engage with a
text says a lot about their involvement, interest, and intentions.
Marginalia in Modern Learning Contexts is a collection of
innovative research on the methods and applications of interaction
between readers and texts through digital means such as commenting
or physical annotation such as writing in the margins of a book and
how these strategies can be applied in educational settings. While
highlighting topics including social annotation, teacher education,
and technological expertise, this book is ideally designed for
educators, administrators, academicians, researchers, and students
seeking current research on digital and physical annotation methods
and strategies and their applications in educational environments.
In an ever-changing and interdependent world, diversity has become
the norm, not the exception. Our constantly evolving understanding
of intercultural communication and its rich complexities calls us
to question, review, and renew our intervention practices.
Intercultural Twinnings: A Commitment for a Pluralistic Society
examines the impact of intercultural twinnings when people of
different backgrounds, ethnicities, languages, and religions come
into contact with each other in a variety of learning and work
environments. These twinnings are more than language exchanges
because they promote intercultural contacts, constructive
individual interactions, and ultimately, more harmonious intergroup
relations. Whether face-to-face or virtual, it is through these
exchanges that participants learn from each other and appreciate
the challenges and benefits of discovering the Other. The
contributors to this volume explore theoretical models, methods,
and intervention tools to support the work of teachers,
researchers, practitioners, and university students.
