Inspired by a humanist and socially conscious perspective that was originally set out by Ken Garland's 'First Things First' manifesto in 1964, the project developed into a collaborative learning experience for African and European…

This review provides a critical appraisal of Kubow and Min's paper. It teases out their conception of "liberalism" and argues that the classical notion of liberalism as a political theory that advocates individual liberty based on assumptions of the unencumbered autonomous individual has lost currency. This is because over the years…

The students involved came from a Canadian university and were primed through pretrip meetings and program materials to expect their trip to produce good feelings of connection and support. However, many of the students…
