The Composition Commons: Writing a New Idea of the University
by Jessica YoodThe Composition Commons delivers a timely take on invigorating higher education, illustrating how college composition courses can be dynamic sites for producing a democratic, just, and generally educated public. Jessica Yood traces the century-long origins of a writing-centered idea of the American university and tracks the resurgence of this idea today. Drawing on archival and classroom evidence from public colleges and universities and written in a lively autoethnographic voice, Yood names “genres of the commons”: intimate, informal writing activities that create peer-to-peer knowledge networks. She shows how these unique genres create collectivity—an academic commons—and calls on scholars to invest in composition as a course cultivating reflective, emergent, shared knowledge. Yood departs from movements that divest from the first-year composition classroom and details how an increasingly diverse student population composes complex, evolving cultural literacies that forge social bonds and forward innovation and intellectual and civic engagement. The Composition Commons reclaims the commons as critical idea and writing classroom activities as essential practices for remaking higher education in the United States.
Special Education: Advancing Values (Advances in Special Education #38)
by Festus E. Obiakor Jeffrey P. BakkenSpecial education has changed over the years since its inception due to advocacy, litigation, legislation, trends, and research investigations. While it can be somewhat controversial depending on the disability the child might have or professionals involved in the process of instructing and planning his/her future education, it is a field that has values that has had measurable impacts on people’s lives. Special Education: Advancing Values focuses on values that are engrained in special education and how we can maintain, sustain, and advance them. It also addresses the most current viewpoints and perspectives on the traditions of special education for students with disabilities alongside new and innovative practices.

Related topics include students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, general education teachers, school leaders and administrators, and parents. Special Education: Advancing Values concludes with a summary chapter that addresses why special education is an important educational phenomenon that has fundamental values worthy of sustainability and advancements.

Critical Reflections on the Internationalisation of Higher Education in the Global South (Diverse Perspectives on Creating a Fairer Society)
by Emnet Tadesse Woldegiorgis Cheryl Qiumei YuEmbarking on a journey to Africa, Southeast Asia, South America and beyond, Critical Reflections on the Internationalisation of Higher Education in the Global South explores how postcolonial structures and global power dynamics are shaping the internationalisation of higher education. Challenging the Eurocentric status quo that has long dominated the discourse on internationalisation, this edited collection goes beyond mere discussions of student mobility to address the multifaceted potential that internationalisation holds, ranging from academic partnerships and collaborative research to scholarly publications. Drawing from case studies across the Global South, contributors interrogate not only conventional paradigms, but also pose vital questions. How can institutions in these regions partake equitably in the global exchange of knowledge? What steps can be taken to foster genuine and balanced collaborations between the Global South and North? As a compelling call to action, this research also examines how internationalisation can be a transformative force for the Sustainable Development Goals, breaking down traditional hierarchies and embracing a decolonised future for higher education. If you are involved in academia, policy-making or are simply curious about the complex features of internationalisation in the Global South, this work is your roadmap to deeper, more critical reflections on the internationalisation of higher education.
