The transition to kindergarten is a critical developmental marker for young children. While the early childhood literature includes several established best practices to ensure a smooth and positive transition for both children and their families, less is known about transitional experiences of Mexican immigrants. Using a qualitative approach,…

Third wave student development theory looks across and between populations for constructs with shared meanings that may present new possibilities for understanding student development. Despite commonalities of experience, multiracial and international students are two populations typically studied independently. In this conceptual article, we…

This paper is a systematic review of empirical research on "tourism problems and entrepreneurship development" in the context of Vietnam. Its significance and urgency rest upon a prolonged and immense decline in Vietnam's tourism revenue due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and its stagnation of tourism recovery. The systematic review…

Numerous longstanding developmental theories have emphasized the important role that culture and context play in shaping young children's skill development. Nevertheless, the field lacks explicit models describing the extent to which early childhood development may be similar (universal) versus different (specific) across cultures. In this…

This paper analyses our experiences of conducting participatory action research into alcohol abuse in communities living with bonded labour in Tamil Nadu and in Bihar.

Neoliberalism along with other sites of cultural, social and political life has created deep impacts on childhood. With the rise of neoliberalisation of policies, childhood has come to be defined in terms of economic utility and wellbeing of society. In this paper, we examine the process of neoliberalisation through the changing role and meaning…

A number of critiques have been positioned against the modern university as the center of multiple modes of colonial and neoliberal violence; however, the vast majority of these critiques fail to speak to the context of people employed in the field of student affairs and its systemic role within the university. Responding to this concern, my study…

The Tygerberg Children's Choir (TCC) is rooted in South Africa's Afrikaner culture. Its transition to a multicultural children's choir, within a drastically changed political dispensation, furnished a rich subject for a historiographic choir identity investigation.

While historically and ideologically peripheralised in modern Chinese politics, traditional culture has been discursively rehabilitated by the Chinese communist regime in recent years. Existing literature on this phenomenon tends to focus on the politicisation of culture, that is, how Chinese culture, particularly the Confucian tradition, is…

The emergence of millennials in strategic positions of academic organizations paved the way for a peculiar execution of leadership practices due to their work ethic and generational stereotypes.

Academic advising is a proven high-impact practice, shown to have the potential to help increase students' prospects of academic success, increase their sense of belonging and integration at their institution of higher learning, and provide unique insights into the lived realities and experiences of higher education students. For this reason,…

Identifying a society's perceptions and, by extension, opinions of a certain social movement can help to understand to what extent the movement has been successful in effecting change. When working to gain such an understanding, a focus on the student population is essential, as their opinions provide insight into the future conditions of society…

Pragmatism as a philosophical framework mainly guides the argument in this paper. In the first part, I introduce the old and contemporary meanings of…
