Liberal education is nothing other than the acquisition of a free mind. Unfortunately, too many of us have a mind shackled by ideologies and moved by outside forces. We’re pulled and pushed by trends and the prevailing culture. Higher education has become ridiculously expensive and is producing graduates whose minds are anything but free, filled as they are with the prejudices of their teachers. Only when we break these shackles and habitually exercise a free mind can we call ourselves liberally educated.

Der Psychologe Gerd Gigerenzer, die Datenanalyse-Expertin Katharina Schüller, der Ökonom Thomas Bauer und der Statistiker Walter Krämer diagnostizieren uns seit Jahren in ihrer »Unstatistik des Monats« eine Art Analphabetismus im Umgang mit Zahlen, mit Wahrscheinlichkeiten und Risiken. Anhand neuer spektakulärer Beispiele erklären die vier, wie wir Unsinn erkennen, Prognosen richtig einordnen, zwischen Kausalität und Korrelation unterscheiden und unsere immer komplexere Welt sinnvoll beschreiben können. Das ist unterhaltsam—und wichtiger denn je!

The college classroom is inevitably influenced by, and in turn influences, the world around it. In the United States, this means the complex topic of race can come into play in ways that are both explicit and implicit.

Cuando la mayoría de las personas escuchan la frase «antiguo Hawái», se desprende un cierto aire de misterio e intriga.

Everything that we have and get to experience today came from the minds of brilliant men and women throughout history, whether we know their names or not. In the past, the African American community hasn't been given recognition for these inventions and new ways of life, especially here in America. Some of the biggest changes we've faced have come from African Americans. From the brave and selfless efforts of Harriet Tubman in the Underground Railroad to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s civil rights movement, Black men and women have changed the course of history.

Did you know that the second-largest battle of the Civil War in terms of casualties took place near a small creek in Georgia whose native name means “River of Death”? The Battle of Chickamauga claimed more casualties (dead, wounded, captured, and missing) than any other Civil War battle except Gettysburg, yet it is not well known. Chickamauga did not change the tide of the war. Though it was a Union defeat, it did not really slow down Union plans for the collapse of the Confederacy in the Deep South.

Schools have long meant more than an education in America. Flawed, inequitable, underfunded, and segregated, they remain the most important engine of social mobility and the crucible of our democracy. The cost of closing them for so long during COVID, made with good intentions, has not been fully reckoned with. In The Stolen Year, Anya Kamenetz follows families across the country through the pandemic. She dives deep into the history that brought us to this point, making the case that 2020 wasn't a lost year—it was taken from our children by years of neglect and bad faith.

This inspiring manifesto brings in research from different disciplines and demonstrates how to uncover individual greatness by giving students control of their learning.

This enables children to flourish in their own time and on their own terms. It enables us to put wellbeing at the centre of education. Changing Our Minds brings together research, theory and practice on learning. It includes interviews with influential thinkers in the field of self-directed education and examples from families alongside practical advice.

Have you ever wondered what country had the first truly global empire? Then pay attention... Folks used to say that the “Sun never sets on the British Empire” as a means of declaring Britain’s greatness. But it was the Portuguese who forged the first truly global empire. The major dominions of the Portuguese wrapped around the globe in a straight line, from Brazil to Angola, from Mozambique to India, and all the way to Macau. With its dominion under multiple time zones, the Sun, in fact, never did set on the Portuguese Empire.

El café para todos debe desaparecer de la escuela, porque nuestras clases son tan diversas como la sociedad en la que vivimos. Si como adultos nos dedicamos a las ocupaciones más variopintas, ¿por qué nos empeñamos en enseñar del mismo modo y los mismos contenidos a todos los alumnos?
