In the last decade, Europe has welcomed numerous migrants and refugees from Arab countries. Their scholastic inclusion has been challenging, and the teaching staff had to sometimes deal with unfamiliar realities. The issue has been addressed by various perspectives, from sociology to psychology, insights from which are gathered in intercultural education. In it, there are scarcity of studies that delve into pupils' cultural backgrounds, and countries of origin's history is seldom regarded as a decisive factor in the formation of identity. Among Arabic-speaking communities the Moroccan and Syrian ones are the most significant and Morocco and Syria have interesting histories and education systems. Using Nussbaum's (2010) multifactorial analysis, this research aims to better understand the educational universe where Arabic-speaking pupils come from, focusing on humanities and religious education in the experience of pupils, especially from Morocco and Syria. Methodology comprehends qualitative empirical research conducted in Europe. Results show the differences experienced by pupils in their educational paths among diverse Arab and European countries and the more sensitive topics they encounter in their education in Europe in relation to their identity.

欧州のラテン世界における学生のノート　1400～1750年－研究必携

The first comprehensive guide dedicated solely to research on Latin-European early modern student notes.The many preserved collections of student notes from the early modern period - ranging from neatly maintained notebooks to barely legible scribbles crammed between lines of printed text - hold considerable but largely untapped potential as an historical source. At the same time, the analysis of these notes poses significant challenges for scholars. This book aims to be a concise and accessible companion for scholars interested in engaging with this young and burgeoning research field. Written by a diverse group of specialists from across Europe and the US, it explores the various technical and practical aspects involved in reading, interpreting, and editing student notes, while also demonstrating how these sources can enrich various areas of historical research. Indeed, student notes reveal that early modern lecture halls were often more dynamic, diverse, and creative than we might have expected.

Modern Hertford is one of Oxford's least famous colleges. Its chief claims to attention are its pioneering egalitarian reforms of its admissions system in the 1960s and 70s, its early embrace of co-residence in 1974, and its deliberate transformation from a poor, obscure, dilapidated, ill-favoured, and introspective conservative backwater to an open, outward-looking, financially secure, and academically sound partner in the collegiate university - such rapid transformations being somewhat rare in Oxford. It is also one of Oxford's youngest colleges and, having been founded only in 1874, ostensibly unsuitable for a book-length history. But behind modern Hertford sits an institutional history reaching back to the thirteenth century and the early days of the university itself, the direct residual legatee of two medieval academic halls (usually precarious, non-corporate licensed student hostels that dominated Oxford's first quarter millenium, providing teaching, accommodation, and the model for later more solidly established endowed colleges) Hart Hall (c. 1280-1740) and Magdalen Hall (c. 1480-1874) and the failed first Hertford College (1740-1816). On a small, intimate but precise scale, Hertford and its precursors map not only the internal history of the university but also the wider social, political, religious and educational settings over seven centuries: the creation of a medieval literate clerisy; sixteenth century humanism, gentrification and Reformation; seventeenth century religious and political upheaval and Civil War; the post-Restoration triumph of Tory Oxford; the latitudinarian eighteenth century; the beginnings of empire; nineteenth century, imperialism, plutocracy and reform; twentieth century slow democratisation; and twenty-first century technology. Based at every stage on deep trawls through rich, much hitherto unexplored archival evidence, and lit by close portraits of dons, grandees, scholars, students, and staff through the centuries, this book charts a story of repeated dislocation, precarity, ingenuity, and renewal, very different from the more familiar image of Oxford's established grandeur and serene progress towards modernity.
