Denne eklektiske samling af tekster, redigeret af billedkunstnerne Anne-Mette Schultz og Signe Frederiksen, kredser om kunstnerisk uddannelse og pædagogik, med en særlig interesse for vekselvirkningen mellem institutionerne og det kunstneriske arbejde.Det centrale element er interviewet Det som Laurence Rassel får os til at gøre, der portrætterer den belgiske kurator og pædagog Laurence Rassels institutionelle arbejde, blandt andet som rektor på kunstakademiet École de recherche graphique i Bruxelles.Omkring denne samtale danner fire originale bidrag af billedkunstnerne Felis Dos, Katrine Dirckinck-Holmfeld, Pia Rönicke og Stefan Pedersen en subjektiv og lokal kartografi over en form for moduddannelse, der undersøger: Hvordan kan en kunstner gøre? Hvordan kan en kunstner undervise? Hvordan kan institutionen fungere kritisk og tage konsekvensen af det arbejde som produceres inden for dens egne rammer?Bogen er et oplæg til samtale, diskussion og undervisning og er en invitation til alle, der har en interesse i at tænke kritisk over kunstens institutioner.

Zwischen 1949 und 1989 nahmen Kunstabbildungen in Lesebüchern einen gewichtigen Raum ein. Die Studie untersucht erstmals umfassend, welche Intentionen die Verantwortlichen mit den Abbildungen verfolgten, ob diese ausschließlich zur optischen Aufwertung der Bände dienten oder auch didaktische Zwecke hatten. Es wird u.a. der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich die Abbildungen im Laufe von vierzig Jahren veränderten und wie lange es dauerte, bis nach der NS-Diktatur verfemte Künstler in den Lesebüchern abgebildet wurden. Die Untersuchung zeigt, wie stark die sog. Lesebuchmacher damals noch von einem literatur- und kunstgeschichtlich verbundenen Bewusstsein geprägt waren. Erst in den 1980er Jahren erfolgte eine Neuausrichtung der Bildwahrnehmungen und des Deutschunterrichts.

What was your experience of art in school? Was it all doilies, cheap paint, and crusty brushes? Or was it better than that but you still wondered why it seemed to be the runt of the educational litter. In this humorous, engaging, and thought-provoking book, Anna Cutler, a leading figure in art education, takes you on a journey through her personal experiences and reflections on the value of art in schools. By the end you'll come to realise that the stakes are surprisingly high for the social, emotional, and intellectual development of our children. It is an impassioned plea to nourish, within and beyond schools, the one resource that will never run out: the human capacity to create. "Engagingly informal and on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, this wise and witty book can be absorbed quite effortlessly in one sitting. It leaves you with the sense that you've enjoyed one-on-one tuition from the favourite teacher you never had." Dr Shane Kinghorn, Manchester Metropolitan University. "I learned a great deal reading this book and laughed in all the right places. It is a powerful, persuasive 'Call to Arts'." Andrew McGuinness, author.

Spatial Planning and Land-Use Management play a pivotal role in striking a balance between enhancing the quality of life for communities and addressing environmental protection and natural resource management. Additionally, they facilitate the exploration of alternative land-use scenarios that cater to socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental needs, ensuring the welfare of populations while upholding principles of efficiency, equity, and sustainability. Recognizing the enduring impact of spatial planning and land-use management on the future trajectory of societies, it is imperative to establish optimal systems and tools in the present day. This is particularly crucial in regions poised for swift increases in demand for housing, infrastructure, services, and food. A strategic redirection of measures towards a more inclusive and system-oriented territorial development emerges as a potentially effective approach.The purpose of the Special Issue "Spatial Planning and Land-Use Management" is to highlight the latest advancements in this field. It presents case studies from three continents: Europe, South America, and Asia. The articles can assist policymakers in making well-informed decisions by providing valuable insights that contribute to the formulation of more sustainable land-use practices.

The normative development of children's social, emotional, and academic adjustment stems from sources including both family and peer groups. Parent-child and peer interactions have unique and significant implications for children, and these social relationships serve as a foundation for feelings of security and belonging. During the socialization process in at-home and in-school contexts, children display a wide variety of social behaviors. However, several issues require further exploration. For example, what are the different causal relations that might underlie children's social behaviors? What is the trajectory of these social behaviors at different developmental stages? Can we establish the neural basis for these social behaviors using advanced techniques? In light of these premises, this reprint aims to advance the literature on the development trajectory of children's social behaviors and their cognitive neural mechanisms. The research in this reprint elucidates a broad range of social behaviors and illustrates relevant empirical evidence, new methodological concerns, and future directions in this field.
The purpose of this reprint is to present current research on identifying and supporting giftedness and talent in schools all over the world. This reprint contains 19 articles from differing international contexts: Australia, Austria, Finland, France, Greece, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Turkey, and the USA. By sharing differing approaches with one another, we can learn and be inspired as to how to deliver quality educational experiences for gifted children and students. Diverse approaches to identification include broad (even 'fuzzy'), multi-categorical, and curriculum-specific opportunities for talent to emerge within enrichment programs. Diverse approaches to gifted education support include differentiated teaching or curriculum content, such as the use of transdisciplinary, holistic education; acceleration; ability-grouping; special programs; and enrichment opportunities. Alongside these considerations are why we engage in gifted education, specifically the needs and educational rights of children and students. We take a holistic approach to education in schools and early childhood education that includes cognitive, emotional, social, and moral domains concerning giftedness and talents. This means that all aspects of a gifted learner are important, not just their academic achievements. We increasingly find that gifted child and student well-being is tied to the identification and support they receive in schools and early childhood services.
Here is the little-known story of Florence Beatrice “Bea” Price, who faced many obstacles, including systemic racism and sexism, as she pushed forward to become one of the greatest Black classical composers.Florence Beatrice “Bea” Price loved music from a young age. When she wasn’t practicing on the piano, she tapped her feet, drummed her fingers, and whistled. Growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, she was surrounded by Negro spirituals, classical music, Juba dance rhythms, and folk songs and even had the chance to play piano with John William “Blind” Boone. But as a young Black girl living in the South, Bea wasn’t offered the same chances as white children. Not allowed to perform in public, Bea’s first recital was in her living room. But Bea was not deterred. She studied hard, rose to the top of her class, and was accepted to the New England Conservatory of Music—one of two Black students—and majored in both music and composition. Bea never forgot her roots and wove all kinds of musical genres into her musical compositions and spirituals.

In Buddhist monasticism, women are relegated to second rank, mainly for two reasons: first, they do not always have access to the same level of education as their male counterparts and are therefore not credited with the same learning (erudition); second, in some countries, they are excluded from one or all ordination rites. Thus, we have, on the one hand, full-fledged monks, and on the other, female religious practitioners who, in several Asian countries, are not ordained (Burma, Sri Lanka and Thailand) or are only semi-ordained (India, Mongolia, Nepal and Tibet). As for Chinese and Korean monasticisms, there are fully ordained nuns, but they still have to respect traditional norms regarding gender hierarchy. The resulting asymmetry between ordained men and women is a facet of living Buddhism. However, in recent decades, Buddhist nuns are also taking steps to resolve some of the discrimination they face, thereby showing their agency.
This volume consists of fifteen multidisciplinary papers written by prehistoric, classical, and postclassical archaeologists from different institutions worldwide. They provide quite an open view of different aspects of underway landscape archaeology research in many countries, from Europe to Asia and the Americas. The papers cover a wide variety of territories that, in one way or another, have been crossed, exploited, and changed by the impact of Neanderthals and Modern humans throughout different periods of the Pleistocene and the Holocene. Extreme environments have also been considered, among which are central Asia's desert landscapes and western Europe's northernmost territories. The result consists of an interesting mosaic of papers discussing Medieval, subrecent periods, and archaeometric approaches.

To take stock of the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction in its 43rd year and to highlight several of the key issues discussed on the agenda of the Eighth Special Commission (10-17 October 2023), this Special Issue considers the convention's implementation and operation within and across the current 103 Contracting Parties. It addresses current global debates on important issues in the context of international child abduction, like habitual residence, the child's best interests, international refugee law, domestic violence, and the use of the 'grave risk'/'intolerable situation' exception to return as outlined in Article 13(1)(b) of the 1980 Hague Convention. Additionally, it explores the consideration of the child's perspective and the utilization of the child objection exception to return as outlined in Article 13(2) of the same convention. The interaction of the 1980 Hague Convention with other international conventions (e.g., the UNCRC 1989) and regional frameworks (e.g., the Brussels II-ter Regulation and the ECHR) is also explored. A central feature of this Special Issue is its focus on the need for, and how best, the 1980 Hague Convention can be nurtured to help meet the current operational and global expansion challenges.
Buildings consume about 40% of the global energy. Therefore, the building sector plays a key role in achieving the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Various energy-saving technologies for buildings, such as building envelops, mechanical systems, and energy resources, have been developed to help to achieve zero- or even net-energy buildings while maintaining comfort and a healthy indoor environment. This Special Issue on building energy-saving technology was open to all contributors in the field of building engineering. The original experimental studies, numerical simulations, and reviews in all aspects of building energy utilization, management, and optimization have been considered. For this event, all of these topics were covered in the extensive submissions which were accepted, but interesting papers on other aspects of building energy efficiency were also received. In this reprint, the main research findings of the accepted papers in the Special Issue, including the energy-saving technologies involved in building envelops, mechanical systems, are summarized, and occupant behaviors, and a number of research questions and research directions are identified.
