Book Synopsis The Future of Higher Education in an Age of Artificial Intelligence by : Stephen Murgatroyd
Download or read book The Future of Higher Education in an Age of Artificial Intelligence written by Stephen Murgatroyd. This book was released on 2024-07-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges, universities and other higher education institutions are displaying a high degree of uncertainty and caution with respect to the adoption and use of AI. Concerns related to security, privacy, and academic misconduct act as cautions, though some are pioneering imaginative and creative uses of AI in teaching, learning, assessment and support services. This book explores the landscape of AI adoption and suggests ways in which AI can be deployed to improve learning and assessment. It also examines ethical and change management implications of AI. A strong focus on ethical AI, the use of AI for regenerative thinking and a shift to problem and project-based learning are all explored as ways of overcoming faculty concerns. This future-focused book is recommended for policy makers in government; leadership teams in colleges, polytechnics and universities; and for graduate students seeking to make sense of the fast-moving landscape.

Book Synopsis Epistemic Injustice by : Miranda Fricker
Download or read book Epistemic Injustice written by Miranda Fricker. This book was released on 2007-07-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exploration of new territory between ethics and epistemology, Miranda Fricker argues that there is a distinctively epistemic type of injustice, in which someone is wronged specifically in their capacity as a knower. Justice is one of the oldest and most central themes in philosophy, but in order to reveal the ethical dimension of our epistemic practices the focus must shift to injustice. Fricker adjusts the philosophical lens so that we see through to the negative space that is epistemic injustice. The book explores two different types of epistemic injustice, each driven by a form of prejudice, and from this exploration comes a positive account of two corrective ethical-intellectual virtues. The characterization of these phenomena casts light on many issues, such as social power, prejudice, virtue, and the genealogy of knowledge, and it proposes a virtue epistemological account of testimony. In this ground-breaking book, the entanglements of reason and social power are traced in a new way, to reveal the different forms of epistemic injustice and their place in the broad pattern of social injustice.

Book Synopsis Democratising Participatory Research by : Carmen Martinez-Vargas
Download or read book Democratising Participatory Research written by Carmen Martinez-Vargas. This book was released on 2022-01-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Carmen Martinez-Vargas explores how academic participatory research and the way it is carried out can contribute to more, or less, social justice. Adopting theoretical and empirical approaches, and addressing multiple complex, intersectional issues, this book offers inspiration for scholars and practitioners to open up alternative pathways to social justice, viewed through a Global South lens. Martinez-Vargas examines the colonial roots of research and emphasises the importance of problematising current practices and limitations in order to establish more just and democratic participatory research practices. Although practitioners have been challenging the Western roots of research and participatory research for decades, their goals can be compromised by pluralities and contradictions in the field. This book aims not to replicate past participatory research approaches, but to offer an innovative theoretical foundation—the Capabilities Approach—and an innovative participatory practice called ‘Democratic Capabilities Research’. Democratising Participatory Research is not only timely and relevant in South Africa, but also in the Global North owing to the current crisis of values jeopardising the peaceful existence of diverse societies. The book gives essential recommendations for capabilities and human development scholars to reframe their perspectives and uses of the Capabilities Approach, as well as for participatory practitioners to critically reflect on their practices and their often limited conceptualisation of participation.

Book Synopsis Jean-Luc Nancy and Plural Thinking by : Peter Gratton
Download or read book Jean-Luc Nancy and Plural Thinking written by Peter Gratton. This book was released on 2012-08-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Luc Nancy is one of the leading voices in European philosophy of the last thirty years, and he has influenced a range of fields, including theology, aesthetics, and political theory. This volume offers the widest and most up-to-date responses to his work, oriented by the themes of world, finitude, and sense, with attention also given to his recent project on the "deconstruction of Christianity." Focusing on Nancy's writings on globalization, Christianity, the plurality of art forms, his materialist ontology, as well as a range of contemporary issues, an international group of scholars provides not just inventive interpretations of Nancy's work but also essays taking on the most pressing issues of today. The collection brings to the fore the originality of his thinking and points to the future of continental philosophy. A previously unpublished interview with Nancy concludes the volume.
