This thesis explores the nature of addiction and addictive behaviour. It does so from the perspective of Classical Greek philosophy. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that philosophy from this period of history been used to gain a comprehensive understanding of addiction and addictive behaviour.4 The aim of the thesis is threefold. Firstly, to construct a theory of addiction founded on Classical Greek philosophy. Secondly, to increase current understanding of addiction through an awareness of Classical Greek philosophy and thirdly, to encourage the study of addiction and other aspects of human behaviour from the perspective of Classical Greek philosophy.

Latin America and the Caribbean, as with other regions, continue to face serious challenges, including fragility of democratic institutions and increasing social and economic inequality. In the past decades, access to higher education has been demonstrated to be key in furthering democratic societies and increasing participation. In the aftermath of the pandemic crisis, the role of higher education, in developing and sustaining a culture of democracy and participation, will be even greater. Higher education must be seen as an essential means through which to support and strengthen the values and structures of a just and inclusive society. This book seeks to engage the leaders, students and staff of higher education institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean in a conversation around how we might share best practice. We consider how universities can better address the issues of social inclusion and educational access with excluded communities, such as the original peoples and the Afro‐descendants, within a framework of democratic values.This book is an important step in the creation of this Learning Community and presents an overview of the democratic mission and civic engagement across higher education in Latin America and the Caribbean. It serves to bring together diverse voices and the experiences of different countries and higher education institutions. The decision to publish in English rather than Spanish, the language of the majority of the contributors, is a considered one as we see the book having a role in bringing the Latin American and Caribbean experiences and lessons to a wider global audience. Thus, Latin America and the Caribbean seek to join the global conversation on the democratic mission and civic engagement, referencing the region's own rich andvaried experience over the years.

One size does not fit all when it comes to education.In modern society, education has been and continues to be shaped, informed, and driven by a so-called "grammar of schooling": an approach which completely ignores the many and diverse identities that learners own, are given, and encounter. Categorising students into neat, labelled boxes, splintering knowledge into strictly defined subjects, and fracturing learning - this grammar of schooling desperately needs rewriting.Through narratives from teachers, students, and their families, this book explores the lived experiences of those who are forced to live with the current approach, and the consequences for their lives, relationship, and education. It also asks the question of what creative and holistic alternative approaches might look like - when the rules aren't working, the rulebook can be rewritten.
The Book With No Story is a surprisingly quirky creative writing resource for children and teens with wild imaginations. It is filled with 52 creature profiles from some of the author's books. The eccentric, mixed media art profiles are accompanied by some of the creatures' philosophical thoughts, weaving in and out of their outer worlds and inner emotional landscapes.Children are encouraged to use the visual art profiles to write the creatures into new inside-out stories. An inside-out story lets us know what is happening on the outside of a creature, and also what the creature is experiencing on the inside. Children can also create their own creatures and write their inside-out stories using the prompts included at the end of the book.The Book With No Story is part of the Young Philosophers Series dedicated to listening to and valuing children as natural philosophers. It is a celebration of diversity of thought which leads to questions around what would happen if we all thought the same? Are we alike or are we different? Do people's needs differ? Is this good or bad or just what is? How often do we find a space and time to just wonder, wonder, wonder and think? Do we think too much? How do we not think? Do we believe everything that we think?HOW TO USE THIS BOOKPick any of the 52 creatures.Read about the particular way they think in the world and think about how we all think differently in our own lives. You may want to ponder the idea of 'diversity of thought' and in what ways how we all think impacts each other like BUMPER CARS in a theme park. Keep all your thoughts somewhere.Go to the back of the book to make your own thinking creature in a unique outside world.Create as many creatures as you like, you may be surprised at how your own particular thoughts and the thoughts of other people you know find their way into your creatures. And, if you are lucky, you may discover that it is our inside stories that indeed shape our outside stories and vice versa.To find out more about journaling, other books by Red Wool Editions, and our upcoming theme park of activity books, visit clare-rose.com.
Recognizing the Best in Children. Those who became educators entered this field to make a difference in the lives of children. Many have come to question possibility of doing so. Over the past decade the media have characterized the Nation's schools as seriously declining environments: reports of bullying, racial tensions, and escalating violence have become commonplace. Most teachers must battle another growing distraction: the high stakes test mania. The state threatens the district office personnel, who in turn pressure the principals, who pressure the teachers, who transmit the stress to students. Increasing numbers of teachers grow dissatisfied w/ their lack of autonomy & creativity & move to change careers. More talented & effective school principals forsake their leadership roles through early retirements, & there are fewer candidates seeking these administrative positions. These are times when growing children must learn how to be resilient, to emerge from the very dangers, setbacks & uncertainties that tend to cripple others, to lead healthy, productive lives. Studies of such resilient children have shown that most important factor in nearly every case was a supportive one-on-one relationship w/ a caring adult. The Teacher Within touches our complex, troubling days w/ its refreshing ray of hope. It should be required reading for all of us who need to get back in touch w/ our prime reasons for being. Whether we're teachers, managers, coaches/parents, Nelda Toothman's introspection motivates us to rethink our own lives & behaviors, to analyze how we will respond to the challenges we face individually.

'This is a must-read for current struggles for dignity and pluriversal, decolonized solidarity. The authors invite us to abolish development, not as simple rejection, but as a life-affirming pathway into liberation and freedom beyond coloniality' Rosalba Icaza, Professor, Erasmus University of Rotterdam'Murrey and Daley take no prisoners in their sharp decolonial analysis' Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, author of Beyond the Coloniality of Internationalism'The book we've all been waiting for to divest from development studies. It engages the abolitionist imperative as intelligible and doable; as a labour of love, solidarity and abundance' Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa, Assistant Professor, London School of Economics and Political ScienceThis is a book about teaching with disobedient pedagogies from the heart of empire. The authors show how educators, activists and students are cultivating anti-racist decolonial practices, leading with a radical call to eradicate development studies, and counterbalancing this with new projects to decolonize development, particularly in African geographies. Building on the works of other decolonial trailblazers, the authors show how colonial legacies continue to shape the ways in which land, well-being, progress and development are conceived of and practiced. How do we, through our classroom and activist practices, work collaboratively to create the radical imaginaries and practical scaffolding we need for decolonizing development? Being intentionally disobedient in the classroom is central to decolonizing development studies.
