Thinking Home challenges and extends the existing scholarship on
the subject of 'home' in a period which has seen unprecedented
levels of movement cross the globe. Sanja Bahun and Bojana Petric
have collated essays that revisit existing ideas to introduce new
ways of thinking on home, from the individual and local, through
communal, to the international levels. While home informs our
feelings of belonging and displacement, and our activities, such as
migration, housing, and language learning, Bahun, Petric and
contributors look to specific under-studied areas and encompass
them within a major framework that allows for assessment through
multiple disciplinary and expressive lenses. Thinking Home examines
examples such as temporary homes, homes on the road, new and
emergent modes of home-making, and minority groups in home and
housing debates. Fresh, timely and topical, Thinking Home is rooted
in activism and policy-making in the sector of 'home'; the essays
both challenge and extend the existing scholarship on this subject.
This collection combines perspectives of aesthetics, anthropology,
cultural and literary studies, law, linguistics, philosophy,
sociology, psychoanalysis, political science and activist responses
in one whole. It will be essential reading for students of
anthropology, literary studies, cultural studies and philosophy.
Master's degree programmes are on the rise, attracting growing
numbers of international students who speak English as a second or
additional language. Experiencing Master's Supervision:
Perspectives of International Students and their Supervisors
explores the experiences of supervising and being supervised at
Master's level, charting the difficulties and joys of learning for
second language speakers of English while based at a UK university.
The authors report the findings of a year of studying both
supervisees and their supervisors in four different departments in
the social sciences and humanities at a UK research-intensive
university. Using a multiple case study approach, and examining
supervision in its natural context, this book presents rich
descriptions of five case studies: three student-supervisor dyads
and two cases of individual students. Analysing rich, first-hand
narratives, chapters identify key aspects of satisfaction and
dissatisfaction through the eyes of the participants, focusing upon
expectations, supervision styles, feedback and students' support
networks, and discussing the broader implications for university
and departmental policy makers, responsible for guidelines and
requirements. This book contains important insights into the
supervisory experience at Master's level and will appeal to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of
higher education, TESOL, TEFL/TESL and applied linguistics. This
book will also be a useful resource for supervisors, leaders of
training sessions for supervisors, and for postgraduate directors
and teaching committees at universities who develop supervisory
guidelines and preparatory sessions for Master's students.
