Book Description
Joshua S. McKeown, Ph.D. Associate Provost for International Education at SUNY Oswego, International Education Leadership Fellow, the University at Albany ABSTRACT America’s contradictory tendencies towards isolationism and global engagement appear and reappear as predictably as a swinging pendulum. International educators who bask in heady times of growth must navigate lean times in creative and sometimes cunning ways to protect what we have built. Prior to the global pandemic in 2020, education abroad and international student mobility grew to unprecedented levels of expansion, diversity, and sophistication, only for it all to be halted in its tracks. As the world and our profession emerge from this disruptive experience, it is time to take stock of where we fit into the larger higher education landscape and provide lessons and perspective to the next generation inheriting our cause and dedication. Specific recommendations include: taking action within contexts of engagement and isolation, knowing the limits of our professional roles, reconciling faltering expectations of our students and institutions, and accepting the rewards and compromises of an international life and career.

Doors in the Walls of the World
Author: Peter Kreeft
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681498014
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."— Hamlet After William Shakespeare's Horatio sees the ghost of Hamlet's father, and scarcely believes his own eyes, Hamlet tells him that there is more to reality than he can know or imagine, including ghosts. Hamlet's statement suggests that the walls of the material world, which we perceive with our senses and analyze with our intellects, have doors that open into the More beyond them. Philosopher Peter Kreeft explains in this book that the More includes "The Absolute Good, Platonic Forms, God, gods, angels, spirits, ghosts, souls, Brahman, Rta (the Hindu ontological basis for cosmological karma), Nirvana, Tao, 'the will of Heaven', The Meaning of It All, Something that deserves a capital letter." With razor-sharp reasoning and irrepressible joy, Kreeft helps us to find the doors in the walls of the world. Drawing on history, physical science, psychology, religion, philosophy, literature, and art, he invites us to welcome what lies on the other side so that we can begin living the life of Heaven in the here and now.
