Handbook of Research on Acquiring 21st Century Literacy Skills Through Game-Based Learning
Emerging technologies are becoming more prevalent in global classrooms. Traditional literacy pedagogies are shifting toward game-based pedagogy, addressing 21st century learners. Therefore, within this context there remains a need to study strategies to engage learners in meaning-making with some element of virtual design. Technology supports the universal design learning framework because it can increase the access to meaningful engagement in learning and reduce barriers. The Handbook of Research on Acquiring 21st Century Literacy Skills Through Game-Based Learning provides theoretical frameworks and empirical research findings in digital technology and multimodal ways of acquiring literacy...
#MeToo and Beyond
#NiUnaMenos #Aufschrei #LoSHA Before #MeToo became a massive global movement, these were the hashtags that represented activists from Ukraine to Peru who demanded accountability for the sexual violence and racism, xenophobia, and misogyny inflicted on women, transgender people, and girls. Led by activists such as Tarana Burke, who popularized the phrase "me too," these movements provided a call to action for survivors across the world to speak out about their experiences. In #MeToo and Beyond, M. Cristina Alcalde and Paula-Irene Villa bring together scholars and activists from various backgrounds to approach #MeToo from multiple spaces, positionalities, and areas of expertise, many from regi...
Afrocentric Approaches to Community Development in the 21st Century
This collection of chapters takes a departure from western prescripts to community development. It sheds light on adopting tested and tried Afrocentric methods to community development. The book draws lessons from African methods of communal unity for the common good. It gives details of African models of community development and how they were used before modernisation. The book also provides an overview of how these models are essential for governments to incorporate them into their development models. The importance of this book thus lies in the fact that it focuses on traditional African models of community development to enhance government-led models. Afrocentric theories/models are applied in the hope that policymakers, academics and practitioners will find arguments and conclusions of the book useful for better policy formulation to reduce poverty and unemployment.
Handbook of Research on Protecting and Managing Global Indigenous Knowledge Systems
Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) are a combination of knowledge systems encompassing technology; social, economic, and philosophical learning; or educational, legal, and governance systems. The lack of documentation of these systems presents a problem as the knowledge is fading away over time. In response, it is essential that policies and strategies are undertaken to ensure that these systems are protected and sustained for generations to come. The Handbook of Research on Protecting and Managing Global Indigenous Knowledge Systems is a comprehensive reference source that works to preserve indigenous knowledge systems through research. Focusing on key concepts such as tools of indigenous knowledge management and African indigenous symbols, the book preserves and promotes indigenous knowledge through research and fills the void staff and students within the field of indigenous knowledge systems face with the current lack of research and resources. This book is ideal for university students, lecturers, researchers, academicians, policymakers, historians, sociologists, and anyone interested in the field of indigenous knowledge systems.

Economic disparities, climate change, and rapid technological advancement further intensify vulnerabilities, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities. Addressing these intertwined challenges requires inclusive, holistic, and interdisciplinary approaches that promote equity, sustainability, and resilience, on both local and global scales. Holistic Approac...
