2016 Special issue
The seven student papers here under the guidance and direction of Dr. Rosemary Papa, visiting distinguished professor of educational leadership and societal change, tackle a wide-range of such issues in Japan, Nepal, India, Canada, Germany, Brazil, and the United States, reflecting concerns in each student’s home country. While setting out the history and background of the problems they address, they each conclude with a set of recommendations that well appeal not only to educational policy makers but to anyone seeking a way forward against problems of social and economic inequity, alienation and displacement, and gender equality that are of everyone’s concern.
