Over the last decade, many local students have preferred to study
overseas. This has caused governments to announce the creation of
programs and developments in the higher education sector to upgrade
South-East Asia to a leading education hub. Moreover, many
governments declared that they would work on the insurance of
learning to increase the quality of the degrees and the teaching
itself. This has led many to question the results of these
declarations. Higher Education Challenges in South-East Asia
provides an overview of what has been happening over the last ten
years in higher education in South-East Asia. It also works to
solve the challenges in modern education such as the impacts of
digitalization, globalization, and Generation Y and Z learning
styles. Covering topics that include globalization, educational
technologies, and comparative teaching, this book impacts academic
institutions, policymakers, government officials, university and
college administrators and leaders, academicians, researchers, and
students.
A tribute to the influence of one of the "intellectual forbearers"
of Disability Studies in Education (DSE), this collection of six
essays honors the scholar and activist Steven J. Taylor. The
Centennial Professor of Disability Studies, and director of the
Center on Human Policy at the Syracuse University School of
Education was recognized internationally for his enduring
commitment to disability policy, advocacy, and the meaningful
inclusion of people with disabilities throughout society. His
research, teaching, and scholarship shaped our understanding of
disability through a sociological lens honed over decades of
enquiry that trace back from his early work on
deinstitutionalization and to the present disability trends and
controversies. Taylor made clear how we socially construct
humanness, belonging, community, and care in much the same way we
construct deviance and stigma. Steven J. Taylor: Blue man Living in
a Red World provides insight into the theoretical grounding that
has fueled DSE research and scholarship for decades. You will also
find opportunities for personal reflection about how one might find
Taylor's work intrinsic to current efforts to challenge the
persistent segregation and mistreatment of people labeled with
intellectual or developmental disabilities. As the third volume in
this series that is devoted to unraveling and better understanding
the evolution of thought among those recognized as the early voices
and critical leaders who laid the foundation for disability studies
in education, the contributors to this text reexamine the impact of
Taylor's scholarship on their own thinking, teaching, academic and
civic activities. These essays will help you discover that Taylor
continues his mentorship of those who ascribe to DSE tenets and
more importantly, encourages each of us to use our positions to
influence the next generation of disability activists and scholars.
