Forthcoming: Back to the Core - Rethinking Core Texts in Liberal Arts & Sciences Education in Europe

This edited volume examines liberal arts and sciences education by focusing on the unique way in which core texts – i.e. classic texts from philosophical, historical, literary or cultural traditions involving “the best that has been written” – meet the challenges of modern higher education in general and in Europe in particular. It covers topics such as the nature and aims of liberal arts and sciences education, how specific core texts promote the goals of liberal arts and sciences education, including the teaching methods, curricular reflections, and personal experiences of teaching core texts.

Spotlight: Designing Technology, Work, Organizations and Vice Versa

Technology, work, and organizations are three main pillars of contemporary societies. Much has been written about each of them separately as well as about their interrelations. This volume collects empirical cases and conceptual discussions which explicitly look for the close interweaving of work, technology, and organizations by questioning their design. Unlike similar works this volume uses the idea of design as a sensitizing concept in order to unpack and at the same time highlight the complex relations between form and function, between creating and doing. Common themes include: heterogeneous engineering, sociomateriality, performativity, situated action and knowledge, invisible work and design trajectories.
