Up in Arms provides an illustrative and timely window onto the ways in which guns shape people’s lives and social relations in Texas. With a long history of myth, lore, and imaginaries attached to gun carrying, the Lone Star State exemplifies how various groups of people at different historical moments make sense of gun culture in light of legislation, political agendas, and community building. Beyond gun rights, restrictions, or the actual functions of firearms, the book demonstrates how the gun question itself becomes loaded with symbolic firepower, making or breaking assumptions about identities, behavior, and belief systems.
Contributors include: Benita Heiskanen, Albion M. Butters, Pekka M. Kolehmainen, Laura Hernández-Ehrisman, Lotta Kähkönen, Mila Seppälä, and Juha A. Vuori.

Poetic Narratives for Racial Equity, Equality, Healing, and Freedom
Series:
Critical Storytelling, Volume: 9
What does it mean to be Black in America? In this book, Pierre W. Orelus uses his poetry to unpack this question, unmasking racism, sexism, and oppression in America. The 59 poems in this collection deal with a wide range of topics, from immigration to xenophobia, from Black pride to Black rage, from parenting to female empowerment.
Since the dawn of time, poetry and stories have been used to address social issues while inspiring at the same time deep, imaginary, and philosophical thoughts. This book combines poetry with short stories situated in very specific historical, racial, socio-economic, and cultural contexts to examine the existential experiences of Brown and Black people in the Americas, particularly in the United States of America, with systemic racism, voucher capitalism, xenophobia, and sexism, among other social wrongs.

This volume focuses on the different challenges of language policy in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Each of the seventeen chapters follows the same structure, ensuring readability and accessibility, and describes the unique aspects of each country. The work as a whole reveals the complex and reciprocal relations between multiple indigenous African languages, Creole languages and former colonial languages and it constitutes an opportunity to notice recurring patterns as well as distinctive characteristics.
Therefore, everyone involved in language policy, education, economics and development, geography, development or area studies and African studies will benefit from such a holistic and innovative overview.

Over the years, translation has increasingly become a necessary tool to function in contemporary society. Based on years of research and teaching activity within the field, this book offers a useful and effective paradigm for the translation of different types of texts, guiding readers towards the realisation of effective translation projects. The several contrastive analyses presented and the suggestions offered throughout will help readers appreciate the implications and consequences of every translation choice, encouraging them to develop reading and translating skills applicable to the variety of texts they face in everyday life, from novels to comic books, films, and television series.

Bildungsphilosophische Öffnungen im Anschluss an Roberto Espositos politisches Denken
In der vorliegenden Studie wird das Werk des italienischen Philosophen Roberto Esposito auf mögliche Anschlüsse an erziehungswissenschaftliche Diskurse untersucht.
Politische wie pädagogische Theorie und Praxis sind darauf angewiesen, zeitweise feste Fundamente anzunehmen und Kontingenz zu schließen. Dies kann heute nur noch im Bewusstsein um die Unmöglichkeit einer Letztbegründung oder universellen Schließung geschehen. Für die Theorie bedeutet das, die Offenlegung von Kontingenz als relevante Aufgabe zu verstehen. Die Analyse ausgewählter Schriften Roberto Espositos zeigt in diesem Sinne, dass dessen zentrale Begriffe sowohl in der politischen Philosophie als auch in der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Theoriebildung von Bedeutung sind: Vom (Im)Politischen führt der hermeneutische Pfad über die Politisierung des Gemeinschaftsbegriffs, die Konzeption eines Paradigmas der Immunität bis zur Affirmativen Biopolitik und einer Dekonstruktion des Personenbegriffs. Von dort aus ergeben sich Denkangebote für bildungsphilosophische Diskurse und exemplarische Handlungsfelder.

A Curriculum for Social Activists
We live at a time when the competitive, capitalist model of action has eclipsed all other contemporary social and economic models and threatens the greater cooperative good of society. Neoliberalism is an attempt to reimagine governance in an age of mass democratic policies by its intention to inoculate capitalism against the threat of democracy.
Education for Action: A Curriculum for Social Activists sees social action as a vital vehicle in challenging this intense individualistic, managerial and competitive ethos. Such action is a collective, transformative response to capitalism which combines local activism, community development and the advocacy of social, political and economic rights to help committed citizens initiate, stimulate and support social change at both local and global levels.
The book explains the methods, instruments, theories and practices that help educators encourage activists to build power amongst concerned individuals using a curriculum that emphasises the importance of critical theory and which is accessible to everybody and rooted in their community. The author also stresses the vital role of education in helping activists resist the ideologies, actions and slogans imposed on society by authoritarian powerholders while simultaneously regenerating grass-roots politics and its belief in the viability of collective solidarity and social activism.

Teaching and learning are profoundly personal experiences, yet systems of education often prioritize disembodied and decontextualized approaches that continue the historical marginalization of the lives they seek to represent. Re/centring teachers and learners places individuals at the heart of education and, in so doing, re/positions knowledge as contextual and constructivist. This approach, at once pedagogical and practical, has the capacity to transform the classroom from a place too often characterized by what is missing to a place of presence. Through critical, qualitative, creative, and arts-integrated approaches, this collection explores the co-curricular capacity of lived experience to re/centre human being in education.

Nicht für die Hochschule, sondern für das Leben lernen wir! Diese schon 2000 Jahre alte Forderung Senecas nach einer lebensweltorientierten und lernerzentrierten Didaktik greift der Ansatz des Forschenden Lernens auf.
Ausgehend von der Tatsache, dass sich Lernen nicht allein von den Dozent:innen aufschlüsseln, planen und erzeugen lässt, sondern es prinzipiell von den Lernenden selber abhängt, ob und was gelernt wird, spannt der vorliegende Sammelband einen thematischen Bogen von der theoretischen Diskussion über verschiedene Ansätze und Methoden angewandter Praxisforschung im Studium bis hin zu ganz alltäglichen Fragen aus Sicht von Dozierenden, Studierenden und auch Einrichtungen der Praxis. Die hier versammelten Beiträge zeigen in Theorie, Methode und Anwendung deutlich auf, dass eine Professionalisierung von Studierenden und damit der Aufbau eines Forschenden Habitus nur mit einer (eigen)verantwortlichen Einbindung der Studierenden gelingen kann.

Centering Methods and Methodologies
At a time of unprecedented human migration, education can serve as critical space for examining how our society is changing and being changed by this global phenomenon. This important and timely book focuses on methodological lenses to study how migration intersects with education.
In view of newer methodological propositions such as the reduction of participant/researcher binaries, along with newer technology allowing for mapping various forms of data, the authors in this volume question the very legitimacy of traditional methods and attempt here to expose power relations and researcher assumptions that may hinder most methodological processes. Authors raise innovative questions, blur disciplinary lines, and reinforce voice and agentry of those who may have been silenced or rendered invisible in the past.

International organizations play an important role in the development of education around the world. Some have a direct impact on the rights of children and parents in education, while others have an indirect impact by addressing such issues as health, welfare or finance. Prominent among the most influential international organizations are the members of the United Nations family of agencies, although regional development banks and trade union organisations also play important roles. And no mention of international organizations would be complete without reference to the PISA programme of the OECD, although the OECD does much more in the field of education.
The Role of International Organizations in Education provides an introductory background to the operation of organisations that have had a direct and lasting impact on the implementation of educational policy in an international context. The accounts provided give researchers and practitioners to the field an initial account of the organizations, their development over the last seven decades, and their changing influence on the practice of education. By including voices from countries on the receiving end of international policies, the volume also introduces some of the debates that pervade in the field of international education.
