This highly accessible translation of the classic story of Sundiata, a real king who ruled the empire of Mali just south of the Sahara desert from 1235-55, engages readers while introducing African culture and oral tradition used in Africa.
Historian D. T. Niane received this version of the Sundiata epic from Djeli
(griot) Mamoudou Kouyate. It has been twice translated, from Malinke (or
Mandingo) into French, and then into English. The result is a prose novel, with explanatory endnotes.
This Revised Edition includes additional material that enhances the story and helps readers better understand the context in which this popular story is set: Background information (geography, religion, society and politics); Oral Tradition, Pronunciation, and Spelling; and a Who`s Who of Characters / Glossary of Places.
Fascinating and accessible to all, this is an epic story which should rank with the Iliad and the Odyssey as one of the world`s great adventure stories.

Writing is the principal means by which doctoral candidature is monitored and measured; this, combined with the growing tendency to use publications as proxy measures of individual and institutional productivity, underlines the centrality of writing in academia. One of the central questions for scholars in higher education, therefore, is 'How do we make writing happen?', and it is this question which the book seeks to answer.
The book provides detailed illustrations of collaborative writing pedagogies which are powerfully enabling, and through theoretical and conceptual interrogation of these practices, the authors point the way for individuals as well as institutions to establish writing groups that are lively, responsive and context-specific.
Key topics include:
new pedagogical responses for increased writing productivity and the 'push to publish';
innovations for supporting academic writing quality, confidence and output;
scaffolding the thesis writing process;
new theoretical explorations of collaborative writing approaches;
writing group formulations and pedagogical approaches;
writing groups for non-native speakers of English;
writing as women in higher education.
A particular strength of this book is that it showcases the potential of writing groups for advanced academic writing by pulling together a unique mix of authors and scholarly approaches, representing a wide range of new theoretical and pedagogical frames from diverse countries.
Writing Groups for Doctoral Education and Beyond will be attractive to academics seeking new ways to advance their writing productivity, doctoral students, their supervisors and those who are tasked with the job of supporting them through the completion and dissemination of their research.

Описание: Winner! Outstanding Publication Award 2015 - AERA Sig 168, Doctoral Education Across the Disciplines This book, the second in the projected three-volume Forces and Forms in Doctoral Education Worldwide series sponsored by the Center for Innovation in Graduate Education (CIRGE) at the University of Washington, invites readers to listen in as nearly thirty distinguished scholars and thought leaders confront urgent questions about doctoral education in a globalizing world: • How are research doctoral education and the research PhD degree evolving in different national contexts? • How do researchers in the early stage of their careers assess the value of doctoral education? • What are the challenges of using international demographic data from existing PhD programs to analyze trends in doctoral education? • What can happen when regional issues intersect with the need to evaluate doctoral education and ensure its quality? • Which quality-assurance model has been gaining favor in PhD education, and what challenges does it pose? • What accounts for conflict between national interests and international collaboration in doctoral education? • Is there empirical evidence of globalization’s impact on doctoral education and the labor market for PhD graduates? This follow-up to Toward a Global PhD ? (University of Washington Press, 2008), the first volume in the series, includes case studies illustrating global trends in the structure, function, and quality frameworks of doctoral education, and it develops a conceptual framework linking globalization to trends in doctoral education while showing the particular history that has led to the convergence of a number of practices in one or more countries.

Описание: This book explores and compares the systems of doctoral education in twelve higher education systems, consisting of four systems in East Asia, four in Europe and four Anglo-American systems.The emphasis placed on doctoral education and training has increased dramatically in many higher education systems in response to the global competition for highly skilled human resources to serve the needs of knowledge societies. Doctoral education is a key element within the research and development infrastructure, and doctoral students support university research and represent the next generation of the professoriate.While doctoral education has received considerable attention within national higher education systems, there has been surprisingly little international or comparative research on the structure of doctoral education and the nature of contemporary reforms.

Earning a doctoral degree is not about getting a piece of paper--it is about making a contribution to the academic community and the body of knowledge for a discipline. But the primary reason there are so many individuals who are "ABD" (all but dissertation) is because writing a dissertation is a daunting process. Having advised doctoral students myself, I can assure the reader that you will run the gamut of emotions as you traverse the path of writing and defense of a dissertation. This book is intended to help the doctoral learner keep a level of sanity while pursuing their dream, combining the experiences of the new doctor with the advice of the professor. Scott Glenn has recently been through the program, experiencing many of the challenges that students might confront, including the loss of his father. The delays, frustrations, and personal choices he had to make were all part of his growth as a doctor. The new doctor tells his story of walking the doctoral journey, sometimes compared to his experiences in the Marine Corps. Scott also provides life advice along with concrete examples from his own dissertation to help the learners who follow. Norma J. Turner offers advice and coaching based upon her years of helping many learners progress academically, professionally, and personally through the doctoral program. Emphasizing the fact that every student is different, Norma shares examples of situations and stories of noteworthy anonymous students to bring to life the doctoral process. Norma has worked with adult learners for over 25 years, characterized by educational professionalism and compassionate discipline as she engages students in achieving their goals. Enjoy the journey and use the advice presented in this book to achieve your dream.

Описание: Across the country, women are pursuing doctoral degrees at a rate higher than males. While the data indicates that women are now more likely to pursue this advance degree, limited research addresses the real experiences of diverse women who are pursuing a doctoral degree. This book highlights the lived experiences of diverse women who are progressing through a doctoral degree program and the challenges as well as opportunities that they face. These women share unique and transparent experiences of progressing through a doctoral program.
Through a narrative approach, Conquering Academia Transparent Stories of Diverse Women Doctoral Students, addresses themes of intersectionality, lived experiences, challenges and opportunities, and adopting an academia mindset. Featured in the Contemporary Perspectives on Access, Equity, and Achievement series, this book shares perspectives of diverse women doctoral students and how their cultural identities assist them with navigating the academic landscape. It also provides insight for current female doctoral students about strategic positioning as a student within the doctoral program and personal necessary transformation in academia. It informs faculty and staff in academia about the experiences of diverse women and how to support their progression and overall retention.
