This edited volume offers new analytical and methodological
approaches to the study of education in the post-pandemic
educational context, through case studies from countries in South
Asia such as Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Crossing
disciplinary and national boundaries to advance collaborative
knowledge production in South Asian education, the book explores
how different colonial legacies, religious orientations, and
positions in the global economy are played out in regional
education systems. In doing so, this volume focuses on the
educational challenges faced by the region to better understand
South Asian society and the existing societal inequalities in the
wake of COVID-19. The book highlights how the pandemic invites a
re-thinking of current ways of approaching educational research in
hybrid forms, and also opens up new areas of research ranging from
pedagogical innovations to the well-being of teachers and students.
Offering interdisciplinary perspectives on education in this unique
context, this timely book will be highly relevant to students,
researchers, and academics in the fields of international and
comparative education, South Asian studies, teacher education, and
education policy and politics.
Migration for educational purposes, once the privilege of the upper
class, has become a global mass phenomenon in recent years. This
volume examines, within different cultural and historical contexts,
the close relationship between migration, education, and social
mobility. Adopting the perspective that education includes a broad
range of formative experiences, the chapters explore different
educational trajectories and the local, regional, and transnational
relations in which they are embedded. Three key issues emerge from
the analyses: firstly, the central role of temporal aspects in
terms of both the overall historical conditions and the specific
biographical circumstances shaping educational opportunities;
secondly, the complex agendas informing individuals' migration and
the adjustment of these agendas in the light of the vagaries of
migrant life; and thirdly, the importance of migrants'
self-perception as 'educated persons', and the invention of new
identities, and the maintaining of old identities that this
involves. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power.

My journey from newlywed, to mother of two, to single mom - trying
to heal - and become the mother God made me to be Karen lived an
adventurous single life but longed for a family of her own. After
years of maintaining her vow of purity and waiting for a man who
shared her Christian faith, she fell in love with her best friend
and co-worker. They married. She bore two sons. They divorced. With
humor, honesty and raw emotion, Valentin tells her story of
wrestling between God's will and her own, with visions of happily
ever after. In the midst of her weakness and grief, she experiences
God's strength and restoration like never before. Through her
family and friends, mission workers, the pastor of Graffiti Church,
and her two beautiful boys, God turns her ashes to beauty and her
sorrow into joy. THE MOTHER GOD MADE ME TO BE contains a discussion
guide for book clubs and church groups. karenvalentin.com
