Publisher's Synopsis
We live in an era where the university system is undergoing great changes owing to developments in financing policies and research priorities, as well as changes in the society in which this system is embedded. This change toward a more market-oriented university, which also has immediate effects in academic peripheries such as the Balkans, the Middle East, or South-East Asia, is of great influence for the pedagogical practice of 'less profitable' academic areas such as the Humanities: philosophy, languages, sociology, anthropology, history. This volume comprises papers culled from the Pedagogies of Disaster conference held in Tirana, Albania, in June 2013.
