Holocaust Education 25 Years On Challenges Issues Opportunities

Holocaust Education 25 Years On Challenges Issues Opportunities

The year 2016 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of statutory teaching and learning about the Holocaust in English state-maintained schools which was introduced with the first English National Curriculum in 1991. The year 2016 also saw the publication of the largest empirical research study on Holocaust education outcomes – the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education’s What Do Students Know and Understand About the Holocaust?This book presents a systematic reflection on the outcomes of this quarter-century of Holocaust education in England and the Centre’s wider work to reflect on the forms and the limitations of children’s knowledge about the Holocaust and of English Holocaust education resources. These papers are then contextualised in two ways: through papers that situate English Holocaust education historiographically and in England’s wider Holocaust culture; and through papers from America Switzerland and Germany that place the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education’s findings in a wider and comparative perspective. Overall the book presents unique empirical insights into teaching and learning processes and outcomes in Holocaust education and enables these to be theorised and explored systematically. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Holocaust Studies: A Journal of Culture and History. | Holocaust Education 25 Years On Challenges Issues Opportunities

The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

In the Later Han period the region covering the modern provinces of Gansu southern Ningxia eastern Qinghai northern Sichuan and western Shaanxi was a porous frontier zone between the Chinese regimes and their Central Asian neighbours not fully incorporated into the Chinese realm until the first century BCE. Not surprisingly the region had a large concentration of men of martial background from which a regional culture characterized by warrior spirit and skills prevailed. This military elite was generally honoured by the imperial centre but during the Later Han period the ascendancy of eastern-based scholar-officials and the consequent increased emphasis on civil values and de-militarization fundamentally transformed the attitude of the imperial state towards the northwestern frontiersmen leaving them struggling to achieve high political and social status. From the ensuing tensions and resentment followed the capture of the imperial capital by a northwestern military force the deposing of the emperor and the installation of a new one which triggered the disintegration of the empire. Based on extensive original research and combining cultural military and political history this book examines fully the forging of military regional identity in the northwest borderlands and the consequences of this for the early Chinese empires. | The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

Searching and Researching An Autobiography of a Nobel Laureate

Searching and Researching An Autobiography of a Nobel Laureate

In the last 130 years 30 Swiss people have won a Nobel Prize and one of them is Richard R. Ernst. He laid the foundation for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which revolutionized medical diagnostics across the globe. In his autobiography which the scientist completed shortly before he passed away at the age of 87 he talks about his life. Prof. Ernst grew up in a family long-established in Winterthur Switzerland however his childhood and adolescence were overshadowed by a demanding father. He talks in detail about the start of his career in the 1960s when he made a number of key discoveries at Varian Associates Palo Alto USA as well as about his return to ETH Zürich Switzerland and the shark tank that university research is. The highly talented chemist reveals how his passion for Himalayan art began while travelling in Nepal which ended in him building up one of the most significant collections of thangkas – the tantric Buddhist scrolls. In this book Prof. Ernst discusses openly and directly about all aspects of his life with humility and a wry sense of humor. | Searching and Researching An Autobiography of a Nobel Laureate

Sensing Art in the Atmosphere Elemental Lures and Aerosolar Practices

Sensing Art in the Atmosphere Elemental Lures and Aerosolar Practices

This book engages artistic interventions in the aerial elements to investigate the aesthetics and politics of atmosphere. Sensing Art in the Atmosphere: Elemental Lures and Aerosolar Practices traces the potential of artistic community-driven experiments to amplify our sensing of atmosphere marrying attentions to atmospheric affect with visceral awareness of the materials institutions and processes hovering in the air. Drawing on six years of practice-led research with artistic and activist initiatives Museo Aero Solar and Aerocene initiated by artist Tomás Saraceno each chapter develops creative relations to atmosphere from the studio to stratospheric currents. Through narrative-led writing the voices of artists and collaborators are situated and central. In dialogue with these aerographic stories and sites the book develops a notion of elemental lures: the sensual and imaginative propositions of aerial atmospheric and meteorological phenomena. The promise of elemental lures Engelmann suggests is to reconcile our sensing of atmosphere with the myriad social cultural and political forces suspended in it. Through tales of floating journeys shared envelopes of breath and surreal levitations the book foregrounds the role of art in crafting alternative modes of perceiving moving and imagining (in) the air. The book ends with a call for elemental experiments in the geohumanities. It makes an important and original contribution to elemental geographies the geohumanities and interdisciplinary scholarship on air and atmosphere. | Sensing Art in the Atmosphere Elemental Lures and Aerosolar Practices
