What shapes teaching beyond the classroom? In 'Embedded Pedagogies', Brandon Walsh explores how university structures, policies & values influence pedagogy—& how educators can challenge these to build more equitable & hopeful institutions. Read free: buff.ly/kQau5oV #DigitalHumanities #HigherEd

The book in hardback against text that says:

Embedded Pedagogies: Digital Humanities Teaching and the Infrastructure of Change by Brandon Walsh

This volume offers a timely and incisive exploration of teaching in an era of institutional instability and political pressure. Drawing on extensive experience as a digital humanities practitioner and administrator, Walsh argues that teaching does not occur solely in the classroom but is deeply shaped by the policies, structures, and values embedded within universities themselves.

The book reveals how institutional norms, such as claims to neutrality, intellectualism, and future-orientation, quietly shape what and how educators can teach. Walsh combines theory with practical insight, using case studies, digital projects, and firsthand reflections to demonstrate how these forces operate and how they can be challenged. This volume offers guidance for educators seeking to navigate and transform hostile or resource-constrained environments, advocating for pedagogies grounded in transparency, collective care, and social justice.

Music and Dances from Central Nepal: The Works of Subi Shah, Volume 1
Edited by Anna Marie Stirr, Mason Brown, Hikmat Khadka, and Lochan Rijal

The first English translation of works by performer, educator, and writer Subi Shah presents an essential commentary and analysis of Himalayan folk music and performance. Having documented this musical tradition since the 1960s, Shah has created in-depth analyses of song, dance, music, poetry, and drama within their local and spiritual contexts.

This book stays true to Shah’s voice and style, equipping the reader with the translated text, together with tools such as audio and video examples, musical scores, and glossaries, which enrich our understanding of Himalayan performance. Shah’s detailed contribution to this field is invaluable reading for students, scholars, and musicians alike.

OUT NOW | Trespassing: The Subversive Travel of Indonesian Women in Literature & Performance by Jennifer Goodlander How Indonesian women challenge the boundaries of home, nation & identity through acts of movement, real & imagined Read freely online or buy a copy: buff.ly/NQMOKFb #OAbooks

The book in hardback on a colourful background alongside text that says:

Trespassing: The Subversive Travel of Indonesian Women in Literature and Performance by Jennifer Goodlander

This volume explores how Indonesian women writers and artists challenge the boundaries of home, nation, and identity through acts of movement, both real and imagined. Moving across novels, films, performance, and lived experience, Jennifer Goodlander introduces ‘trespassing’ as a framework for understanding how women navigate spaces where they are not expected to belong.

Organized around modes of travel—by foot, train, boat, and plane—the book reveals how mobility becomes a form of resistance, enabling women to redefine themselves beyond the constraints of tradition, gender roles, and national expectations. Blending literary analysis with ethnography and performance studies, this volume offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary account of Indonesian women’s creativity. It will appeal to scholars and students of gender studies, Southeast Asian studies, literature, and performance.
