Afro-Brazilian Cosmology As Praxis For Student Affairs, Catarina E. Campbell
Afro-Brazilian Cosmology As Praxis For Student Affairs, Catarina E. Campbell
The Vermont Connection
In this article, one will find a friendly introduction to several orixás, the archetypal forces of nature in Yoruban and Afro-Brazilian cosmology, in order to explore the applicability of their teachings within the realm of student affairs. With each orixá comes a teaching story, series of reflection questions, and a tangible pedagogical practice. When employed with reverence to their origin and context, these tools can catalyze self-development, sense of purpose, and breadth of perspective for both for our students and ourselves.
Internationalization Of Higher Education In Turmoil, Patrick Arsenault
Internationalization Of Higher Education In Turmoil, Patrick Arsenault
The Vermont Connection
The goal of this piece is to provide an overview of the internationalization of the University of Missouri using historical artifacts from the institution’s archives. As a result of bringing together these artifacts, the author identifies three distinct internationalization stages that demonstrate where the institution is currently situated. The University of Missouri’s internationalization process has been slow and cumulative, like its peer institutions, until recently. However, the author argues that current events, including travel bans and uncertainty around immigration policies, have disrupted this pattern and created turmoil and uncertainty.
