My task here is to examine how the present global crisis unfolded in these three countries, what their common experience has been, and in what measure it has been distinct for each of them. …”

Education for tomorrow: The vision of Rabindranath Tagore by Quayum, Mohammad Abdul

“…I also explain his awareness of the educational movements of his time in the West, and draw brief parallels with selected Western luminaries in the field, such as Plato, Montaigne, Rousseau and John Dewey. My contention is that although some may dismiss Tagore’s educational principles as “rickety sentimentalism” in a world that is palpable and real, his ideas of human fellowship, unity and creativity, and kinship for nature seem irrefutable with the rise of multiculturalism and the looming ecological crisis threatening world peace. …”

“…This document offers a theorized contextualization and analysis of the performance research I (Helen Spackman) have undertaken with and through LEIBNIZ, the fluid Live Art collective that I co-founded with Ernst Fischer in 2005. Extending Ernst's and my long-standing engagement with issues of alterity, 'home' and 'belonging', our more widely collaborative activities as LEIBNIZ have developed to specifically address the polemics of grafting personal with communal and political identities and the often problematic relation of such, both to civil and human rights and the wider ecologies of which we are each formed! …”
