Opis

With a specific focus on higher education, European Studies in Asia investigates knowledge transfer and channels of knowledge between Europe and Asia from historical, contemporary, and teaching perspectives. The book examines the historical precedents of intellectual dialogue between the two regions, and in turn, explores contemporary cross-regional discourses both inside and outside of the framework of the official Asia-Europe Meetings (ASEM), and draws on the author's own extensive teaching experiences.

Recenzje

"For educators, Wiessala’s work is a much more valuable resource that provides them with concrete examples based on the author’s life-long experience as an educator in Europe and Asia and with a densely annotated summary of the long-standing history of people bridging cultures at both ends of the Eurasian continent." - Frederik Vermote McLintock, California State University, Fresno, Journal of Jesuit Studies 3 (2016) 279-368
