On Indian Ground: The Southwest is one of ten regionally focused
texts that explores American Indian/ Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian
education in depth. The text is designed to be used by educators of
native youth and emphasizes best practices found throughout the
state. Previous texts on American Indian education make
wide-ranging general assumptions that all American Indians are
alike. This series promotes specific interventions and relies on
native ways of knowing to highlight place-based educational
practices. On Indian Ground: The Southwest looks at the history of
Indian education within the southwestern states. The authors also
analyze education policy and tribal education departments to
highlight early childhood education, gifted and talented
educational practice, parental involvement, language
revitalization, counseling, and research. These chapters expose
cross-cutting themes of sustainability, historical bias, economic
development, health and wellness, and cultural competence. The
intended audience for this publication is primarily those educators
who have American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian students in
their educational institutions. The articles range from early
childhood and head start practices to higher education, including
urban, rural and reservation schooling practices. A secondary
audience: American Indian education researcher.
Early Modern Universities: Networks of Higher Education publishes
twenty essays on early modern institutional academic networks and
the history of the book. The case studies examine universities,
schools, and academies across a wide geographical range throughout
Europe, and in Central America. The volume suggests pathways for
future research into institutional hierarchies, cultural ties, and
how networks of policy makers were embedded in complex scholarly
and scientific developments. Topics include institutions and
political entanglements; locality and mobility, especially the
movement of scholars and scholarship between institutions;
communication, collaboration, and the circulation of academic
knowledge. The essays use studies of print and book cultures to
provide insights into cooperative interregional markets, travel and
trade. Contributors: Laurence Brockliss, Liam Chambers, Liam
