A Contemporary Understanding on Human Nature for Holistic Education
Explore Education for the Embodied Human by Akhil K. Singh, where he addresses pivotal questions about human nature and education. This book examines how assumptions about human nature influence educational concepts, formulates a comprehensive, evidence-based theory of human nature, and delves into embodied cognition, backed by the latest empirical findings in cognitive science. Are you ready to challenge and transform conventional teaching through an innovative "inside-out and outside-in" approach? This essential read is perfect for educators and policymakers eager to adopt a holistic, evidence-based approach to learning. Dive into a transformative journey that reshapes education through an embodied lens.

This book provides an analysis of how global capitalism, digital disruption, and new worlds of work have reshaped ideas about language, literacy and numeracy (foundation) skills in a neoliberal foundation skills apparatus in Australia since the 1980s.

The book uses Michel Foucault’s genealogical approach to producing critical ‘histories of our present’. From this perspective it examines how these disruptions have transformed what was once a voluntary, not-for-profit community ‘movement’ of education for migrants and marginalised people into a sophisticated government, community, and for-profit training and skills sector which imagines foundation skills learners as choice making consumers.
Research Universities and Academic Renaissance in the Global South: Lessons from Bangladesh explores how, through continuous innovation, solving challenging problems, and transforming outmoded thinking, knowledge opens up limitless opportunities while providing asymmetric strength to those (individuals, institutions, and nations) who possess it. From a global perspective, such asymmetries create dependencies and perpetuate the West’s colonial aspirations, enabling it to exert influence and exact a heavy price. This volume contends that the Global South must develop its own countervailing knowledge assets, best expressed through establishing a few high quality research universities at the outset, embedded in a carefully nurtured ecosystem and a strong research culture that values curiosity, creativity and commitment. The state of Bangladesh’s universities provides a canvas to examine the challenges facing research in the region that developing nations can address creatively to expedite building a knowledge edifice for self-reliance and national pride.
