Glibber, Glimmer, Laserschwerter: Chemie-Experimente zuhause

Dieses Buch ist für alle TüftlerInnen geschrieben, die die Blaukraut- und Backpulver-Experimente aus dem Internet schon alle durchprobiert haben und denen der Chemiebaukasten auch nichts Neues mehr bieten kann. Ihr müsst nicht auf die nächste Chemiestunde in der Schule warten, um weitermachen zu können!Um Chemie zu betreiben, braucht man nicht unbedingt ein Labor. Chemische Experimente durchführen bedeutet aber auch nicht, einfach alles zusammenzuschütten, was der Putzschrank oder der Kühlschrank hergeben. Abgesehen davon, dass das durchaus gefährlich werden kann, passiert oft nichts. Oder es passiert etwas und keiner ist da, der einem erklären könnte, warum. Mit diesem Buch möchten wir euch Ideen und erste Anleitungen geben, mit denen ihr selbst weiterforschen könnt. Nach einer ersten Erklärung folgen mehrere Versuche, mit denen ihr eine chemische Untersuchungsmethode trainieren könnt – die euch fit machen soll, um dann euren eigenen Ideen nachgehen zu können. Für die Versuche benötigt ihr zum Teil besondere Materialien, die man aber alle käuflich erwerben kann. Legt los!

GLOBAL DIASPORAS: An Introduction (Global Diasporas)

In a perceptive and arresting analysis, Robin Cohen introduces his distinctive approach to the study of the world’s diasporas. This book investigates the changing meanings of the concept and the contemporary diasporic condition, including case studies of Jewish, Armenian, African, Chinese, British, Indian, Lebanese and Caribbean people. The first edition of this book had a major impact on diaspora studies and was the foundational text in an emerging research and teaching field. This second edition extends and clarifies Robin Cohen’s argument, addresses some critiques and outlines new perspectives for the study of diasporas. It has also been made more student-friendly with illustrations, guided readings and suggested essay questions.

Global Perspectives on Dialogue in the Classroom: Cultivating Inclusive, Intersectional, and Authentic Conversations

This book explores globally-informed, culturally-rooted approaches to dialogue in the classroom. It seeks to fill gaps in communication and education literature related to decolonizing dialogue and breaking binaries by decentering Eurocentric perspectives and providing space for dialogic practices grounded in cultural wealth of students and teachers. We first describe the book’s genesis, contextualize dialogue within the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and share guiding concepts of inclusion, intersectionality, and authenticity in dialogue and pedagogy. We also distinguish dialogue from other practices and times in which dialogue may not be possible. The book brings fresh and urgent perspectives from authors across different disciplines, including ceramics, religious studies, cultural studies, communication, family therapy, and conflict resolution. The chapters distill the idea of dialogue within contexts like a bible circle, university sculpture studio, trauma and peacebuilding program, and connect dialogue to teaching, learning, and emerging ideas of power disruption, in-betweenness, and relationality.
