Cosmopolitan Learning for a Global Era: Higher education in an interconnected world (Routledge Research in Higher Education)

Ensuring that higher education students are fully prepared for lives as global citizens is a pressing concern in the contemporary world. This book draws on insights from cosmopolitan thought to identify how people from different backgrounds can find common ground. By applying cosmopolitan insights to higher education practice, Sarah Richardson charts how students can be given the opportunity to experience a truly international education, which emphasises deep cultural exchange rather than mere transactional contact.   Written in an engaging and accessible style, the author uses empirical evidence to show that simply studying alongside those different to themselves or studying overseas are inadequate in preparing students to lead the diverse societies of tomorrow. Instead, the book calls for a coherent approach to higher education that properly prepares students to lead global lives. Chapters highlight a number of key aspects of higher education practice, from curriculum to pedagogy, to educator skills to assessment, and demonstrate how these can be reconsidered to give students the opportunity to gain cosmopolitan attributes during their higher education.  Cosmopolitan Learning for a Global Era will be of great interest to researchers, scholars and postgraduate students, with a particular focus on cosmopolitan thought, international education and higher education more broadly, as well as university educators and leaders across a wide range of disciplinary areas.

The Political Worlds of Women (Routledge Research in Gender and History)

Traditional analyses of nineteenth-century politics have assigned women a peripheral role. By adopting a broader interpretation of political participation, the author identifies how middle-class women were able to contribute to political affairs in the nineteenth century. Examining the contribution that women made to British political life in the period 1800-1870 stimulates debates about gender and politics, the nature of authority and the definition of political culture.  This volume examines female engagement in both traditional and unconventional political arenas, including female sociability, salons, child-rearing and education, health, consumption, religious reform and nationalism. Richardson focuses on middle-class women’s social, cultural, intellectual and political authority, as implemented by a range of public figures and lesser-known campaigners. The activists discussed and their varying political, economic and religious backgrounds will demonstrate the significance of female interventions in shaping the political culture of the period and beyond.

Broken Boundaries is a collection of seven real-life stories told by the women who have lived them. Each of these women placed their trust in a professional (mental health nurse, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, psychotherapist, mental health social worker, counsellor, GP) at a time of need and vulnerability and each of the professionals exploited that trust. Some of the exploitation was sexual and some was psychological or emotional. All of the exploitation had devastating effects on the women. As a part of their ongoing recovery from the abuse they suffered, each of the women has had the courage and resolve to share their stories. Each of the authors takes the reader through a telling journey of blurred boundaries, dependency, exploitation and the aftermath. These stories contain crucial insights for other people going through similar experiences, for those trying to help them and for those who hold positions of trust.
